SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 22.-War
Keen. Chinese newspaper published
i'll this city, prints what purports to be
a mail summary of the news from
China. by the last steamers. Among
the articles was one printed as supple
ment to the people. and believed to be
inspired by the Chinese government
and to be in the nature of confidential
instructions to Chinese consuls in the
United States.
1t suggested that they make speedily
and emphatically as possible certain
representations to senators and con-
gresSmen at Washington. The propo-
sition advanced is thateverv Chinese in
this country is compelled by the Geary
law to register within year with the
alternative of going to Jail and being
expelled from the United States. Con-
corning this proposition the article. as
translated, reads as follows:
China has plenty of wealth, plenty
OF guns and big ships of war of modetn
construction, and plenty of soldiers.
China is not afraid of the United States,
and can cope with her in war. But
China does not want to fight with the
United States, for there are many other
means of retaliation

Seven Persons Killed and Many

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 22.-At the
pyrotechnic display last night conclud-
ing the Columbus celebration, in the
presence of 10000 people, an explosion
occurred which killed seven people and
seriously wounded eight or ten more.
A man named Wilson, with other
things. contracted to fire a salute of
twenty-one guns. The gums" which
exploded were of gas pipe two feet long,
and five inches in diameter. Wilson has
been arrested. 1t is thought he did not
use ordinary powder in loading the
guns
Seven persons. whose names are
known, were killed outright OF re-
ceived injuries from which they died
soon afterward. Beside these, it is be-
lieved that at least five others were
killed or fatally injured, and number
OF others were seriously injured.

DISREPUTABLE TRICK.
Republicans Charged With Shady
Work in South Dakota.

Special to the Globe.
following Chamberlain special has been
received by the Argus-Leader: The
Democrats of this city have been
aroused to the highest pitch of indigna-
ton by the discovery of the latest Re-
publican trick. Early i'll the campaign
Chairman James Green, of the Repub-
lican state committee, by permission
of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, strung a special wire
into his private office: then he brought
an operator from st, Paul, and installed
him with an instrument behind locked
doors. This man was never seen OIL the
street, and no one was allowed in the
office where he was. at work. This
secrecy aroused much suspicion, and
Democrats began to investigate. They
found that, instead of this special wire
running from the telegraph Office and
being connected only when messages
came for Mr.. Green, it was joined to the
main wire several hundred yards from
the station, and every message passing
over the wires from here to Sioux Falls
and at every point in the state south of
that line is received i'll Republican
headquarters. Every dispatch, pollt-
ical, personal or commercial, sent or re-
cieved at Mitchell. Yankton, Sioux Falls
and all other points in the south half
of the state must pass under the eye of
Chairman Green. Of course, this is an
outrage. Members of the Republican
state committee have often twitted the
Democrats on the ease with which their
secrets were discovered. That fact is
now explained.

PATRIOTISM AND PARTISAN
SHIP

The man who boasts of indifference
ing in the prime essential to good citi-
zenship. lie is unworthy of the respect
of men to whom the welfare of their
country is matter Of high concern no
less in times of peace than in the perils
of war.
All partisaus are not patriots, but
every patriot is partisan. Every hon.
est and intelligent man who follows the
public questions of the day has reached
his own conclusions regarding them,and
in accordance Herewith determines his
party affiliations. Except that less haz
ard attaches, and therefore less COURAGE
is required, it is no less creditable to a
mans patriotism to carry torch in
political demonstration than to shoulder
musket in the march of war.
For these considerations the GLOBE
indorses even the demonstrations of
its political adversarieS. as being indie
alive of lively interest in the great
civil contest now progressing. AS a
partisan, however, it is the GLOBES
pride and pleasure to contribute to the
superiority of the demonstrations OF the
Democratic party. 1t therefore urges
the Democrats of st. Paul and contigu-
Gus territory to make tomorrow nights
celebration one indispensable for en-
thusiaSm and numbers. The gallant
leaders of the party merit the grandest
reception their local followers can give
them. Let them have it.
