Thirty HAraoar Killed

London. Ont. January 3.-During a po-
liticaF meeting in the city hall tonight.
the galleries and floor collapsed, burying
over 100 of the audience in the ruins.
At midnight thirty bodies had been
taken from the wrecked building and
identified. How many were injured will
never be known as those who suffered
but slightly at once went to their homes,
or were taken care of by their trends:
Those who were more seriously injured
were carried to ~neighboring drug stores,
whence they were taken to the hospital
or to their homes.
At the close of the polls a crowd gath
cred in the city hall, where it has been
the custom for years past for the sue
cessful candidates to address the cleo
tors.
The building was crowded to the very
doors, probably 700 people being damned
in it's narrow space.
Suddenly there wasa sagging of timbers
and the next mOment $50 people were
hurled twenty feet to the floor below.
Following the crash there was a wild
rush for the doors. At the south door,
where the majority of the crowd had en-
tered, there was a terrible panic. Those
in front were thrown down by the on
coming rush. Shrieking and fighting for
the door and safety.
Several men lowered ropes and en-
deavored to haul the wounded out of the
Fit. From under the massed weight of
the broken beams came many cries for
held. The windows on the ground floor
were broker and the living and dead
were tenderly passed to the waiting am
balances.
A glance at the wreck after the catas-
trophe disclosed the fact that a whole
section of the floor had dropped, the
jOistS having been as neatly cut Off as
though the work had been done with a
saw.
The building was an old one, having
been erected in the early fifties, and of
late years additional stories had been
placed on the old walls.

England Says China Cannot Grant Special
Port or Other Privilege to One Nation

Manchester, Eng, January 3-The
Manchester Guardian today says: The
government has categorically stated
that Great Britain will refuse to cog

port to any particular power. Any
port opened to one power must be
opened to all or opened TO none. II
Russia has been granted the right>to

Britain will enforce her rights to the
same privilege and her ships will win

does not concede the right"
Continuing the Guardian says: If
Germany obtains a naval station at
Kaio Chou, Great Britain insists upon
having a lease Of ground for a naval
station at the same port and she will
support every other power making the
same claim. The contention OF the
government is that the most favored
nations clause in the British and all
other treaties with China forbids any
special concession OF the nature con-
templated by Germany at Kaio Chou
and prevents nations from acquiring

wovler Defes the Government

London, January 3.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says: General Weyler has
defied the government to take proceed
;ngs against him. AS he is a senator. a
special vote is necessary to deprive him
of immunity from prosecution and the
cabinet is embarrassed, as the army o.
pears to side with Weyler in his attacks
on the United States
General Weyler's behavior, which is
classed here as shuffling, in apologizing
to the queen regent and hastily explain
ing to the premier, Senior Sagasta, that
he was not responsible for the publica-
ton of his protest, has alienated many
of his supporters among the Carlists,
who hoped to entangle the general in the
revolutionary meshes. They are especi-
ally disappointed at the fact that the
government seems to be satisfied tina
the so-called Weyler bubble has burst
and that the Spanish army is not gan
gTeened. .
