The Chinese Factor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga local news
paper, which has been investigating the
matter, finds that 81 Chinese have regis
tered in the city of San Francisco and
will vote at the coming election. OF
course, they are all Chinese who claim
TO have been born on American soil. The
Cinnamon, It Is said, have formed an or
ganizaiion and elected "boss." From
his headquarters in Chinatown, the "boss y
has announced that he is ready to make
arrangements" with the men who are In
politics In the interests of the various
candidates. The same newspaper an
nounces that there are 1000 Chinese In
California who are native born, and who
might have registered for the coming
election. It is stated that the majority
of them will vote two years hence. In
asmuch as every Chinaman is absolutely
under the control of the Chinese Six
Companies, and does the bidding of that
organizations head men in every matter,
it is apparent that the Chinese vote may
readily become serious matter in Cali.

The Awning Gave Way.

TERRELL, Tex. Nov. 3--The most dis.
astrous accident in the history of Terrell
occurred at 10: 80 this morning. As the
of the collapse of an awning on a crowd
which had assembled to witness circus
parade, four peraons were fatally crushed
and 100 others more or less seriously IN
jured.
With the dawn of this morning one of
the most enjoyable days of the season
was promised. People for miles around
had gathered to attend Sells Bros cir.
Gus and witness the parade. About
10:30 o'clock the parade entered Moore
avenue, the principal street of the town.
That thoroughfare was crowded with peo-
Pile to see the parade, and the awnings
and windows of the second stories of the
business houses were filled with specta-
tors. On the awning of the Mississippi
store and 10 front of Morris Brin an UNI
usually large number of people had COM
gregated to view the parade, 500 or more
being on the awning, and the sidewalk
was jammed. The front of the parade
had gone up Moore avenue until it's bead
reached the point directly in front OF the
Mississippi store, when the awning 10
front of the building collapsed and tum-
bled to the sidewalk and on the people
beneath, who numbered at least 600 or
700. The awning gave way near the
building with an awful crash, the iron
columns falling inward and smashing
the large plate-glass windows of both
buildings. The picture presented so
awful spectacle as the moving avalanche |
OF human beings were dashed to ter |
rlble fate below.
On either side of the street several col. /
umns of people rushed to the scene. J
Men, women and children ran screaming |
and crying to learn the fate OF friends.
Allen Sells was riding at the head of the |
procession in his buggy. He ordered it
to stop, and called to those near TO assist
in removing the people beneath the de-
bris. Different members of the circus
rendered valuable assistance. The people |
beneath the gallery were injured worse |
than those above, and had 1t not been TOR

the building, thus preventing the plat
form from falling fiat to the ground,

have been instantly killed and the num-
Der of injured increased twoiold

Bomb Exp,osiou.

LONDON, Nov. 5-A squad Of detectives
from Scotland Yard is investigating the
explosion which occurred shortly after II
O'Clock last night at the residence of Hon.
Reginald Brett, in Tilney street, two
doors from the residence of SIR Henry
Hawkins, one of the justices of the
queens bench division of the high court
of justice, for whom the bomb is sup"
posed TO have been Intended. Colonel
Edward Bradford. chief commissioner of
police. is personally directing the matter.
The scene around TiIney street at day
break this morning was one of extreme
excitement. The whole neighborhood
seemed to be in the possession of uni
formed police and detectives, who kept
back the sightseers. Many resi- ients
were so alarmed they fled from their
houses. ahd have been afraid TO return.
As soon as there was hight enough to
work Colonel Majendie, chief inspector OF
explosives, directed photographs to be
taken of the scene from all points of view,
and fragments of the bomb, spllnters,
ETC., were taken to the police station,
after which the fragments, ETC., were
taken to the home Office for examination.
Up TO noon today the police have no
definite theory as to the origin Of the ex-
plosion, with the exception OF suspecting
q man from the Savoy hotel. The au'
thoritles are running down four theories.
One is that the explosion was the work
of some person who sought revenge for
some decision rendered by the late Lord
Eshed, master of rolls, and father of
Reginald Brett. Another theory is that
Brett may have incurred the enmity of
the dynamiters. The third theory ia the
explosion was caused by the Irish physi-
cal force party. The fourth theory is
anarchists attempted to carry out threats
made against Justice Hawkins.

One Unexpected Result.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-One unexpected
result of the war in the east, which will
bring it home perhaps to our own people,
is described In report to the state de-
partment from United States Consul
Stephen at Annaberg, Germany. He
says:
"The straw plating industry, with its
seat In Dresden, is beginning to feel the
effects of the war in eastern Asia.
The straw hat manufacturers usually
draw their material, put up into straw
braids from China and japan. The
blockading Of the ports from which these
braids were exported, has caused a
scarcity and higher price of the raw
material Manufacturers are beginning
to look for other sources from which to
supply their demands and expect to be in
the spring market with home products" /"
