present rebellion.

to advance further than Shue-Hing, above
Sams-Hui, fearing foreign complications

toned, as the inhabitants of Canton are
greatly in sympathy with the rebels.

Summer Resort is Totally
Destroyed.

Atlantic City, n. j., Oct. S.-The most
costly block of amusement buildings and
stores on the beach front was destroyed
by fire early this morning within two
hours of the time the fire broke out.
Twenty buildings, occupied by about fifty
business Establishments, were burned and
q half dozen families were rendered
homeless. The loss is estimated at $780,
600.
For a time the confagration threatened
to get beyond the control of the local fire
department. and assistance was sent from
Camden. The burned district covers the
block extending from Tennessee to New
York avenues and from Ocean avenue to
the beach front. In the confines of the
block were located two large merry-go-
rounds, valued at $4,000 each; two of
the largest bric-a-brac ~emporiums in the
city, each carrying a stock valued at
nearly $4,000, and the Palace Amusement
building, recently erected at a cost of
$4,000. The Caroussal buildings, with
their contents, with the exception of the
orchestrions, were totally destroyed.

Holds that the Machines
Are Illegal.

Chicago, H., Oct. 1O.-In an ooinion
rendered to the judicatory committee of
the city council today, Corporation Coun-
sci Thornton holds that the slot machine
telephone as used by the Chicago Tele-
phone company is illegal.
Under an existing ordinance the tele-
phone company is given permission to fur
nish telephone service to the public in ac-
cordance with a schedule filed with the
city clerk. Counsel Thornton contends
that the company has no right to charge
any extra to an outsider for the use of the
telephone when the company is already be-
ing paid by the party renting the telephone
and leaves it to the option of the latter
whether he shall make an extra charge or
not.
