DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS.

"One of the regrettable consequences
 of the row over in China" remarked a salesman who handles holiday novel,
 ties, will be the temporary interrup- | tion of the daylight fireworks industry, which had it's headquarters al the city
 of Tien- Tsin. We have learned to beat | the Chinese all hollow in almost every | thing else in the pyrotechnic line," he | continued; but we don't understand as yet how to produce the wonderful day. 1 light effects at which they have become adept. The day fireworks are a com | parative novelty, and I believe they I have never been seen in the south, but they have made a great hit wherever exhibited in the north, and one or two of the dealers have arranged to import an immense lot for winter festivities.
 They are put up in the shape of rockets of different sizes, and when the fuse is i ignited they soar to four or five hun
 dred feet in the air. At their greatest elevation they burst and release fantas- tic figures made of tissue paper, which
 become inflated and will float for ten or fifteen minutes before they begin to de-
 scend. Some American-made rockets
 on the same general principle have been
 on the market for the last two or three
 seasons, but they are not to be com-
 pared with the Tien-Tsin article. The
 figures set afloat by the Chinese contri-
 vances vary all the way from birds and
 winged dragons to grotesque manikins,
 supposed to represent demons saw a
 trial lot exhibited at Rochester last
 spring and some of the nffectc Were q G.
 tonishing. One rocket turned loose a
 pair of immense hawks that must have
 been fastened together by delicate thread They circled round and round each other, and it was hard to realize
 they were not alive. Another released
 figure that looked like skeleton with an enormous black head. It sailed through the air with outstretched arms and legs, turned somersaults and went through all manner of fantastic gyra- tions. The effect was funny and at the same time indescribably weird, Our pyrotechnic experts have taken these rockets apart with the greatest of care, but, strange to say, they have been un- able to discover how the paper devices were launched at exactly the right mo- failures. The things were made at only one native factory at Tien-Tsin, and since the bcmbarding and capture of the city bv the allied armies the deal CTS have been unable to learn whether the establishment is still in existence Very likely it was destroyed and the operators scattered.

PLAGUE BECOMES ALARMING
CASES IN THREE INDICTMENTS IN
 CAPE COLONY.
Increase in Proportion of Europeans Attacked-RemOvaI of Patients Op- posed by Malays-Objectors Threat- ened With Isolation Outside the City.

Cape Town, March 27.-The bubonic plague situation is assuming graver aspect. The proportion of European victims of the disease is increasing. Among those attacked yesterday were three soldiers belonging to different corps, one in the Queens regiment at SimonstoWn, one in the First Royal Irish of the Greenpoint camp, and one in the Royal Garrison artillery castle, a suburb of Caoe Town. A native em- ployed in the navy died at Simonstown. Ten other cases are reported from there, eight of the sufferers being native and two Europeans. One of the natives has died.
 Some of the Malays have offered con- siderable opposition to the removal of plague patients and also of the bodies of those who have died of the disease. The government has informed the Ma lays that if this obstruction continues, the Malay community will be isolated outside the city. Practically all the na- lives are going into separate locations.
 There have been 246 eases of the plague here up to date. Fifty-seven persons afflicted were Europeans. There have been eighty-five deaths. A ferret that had been used here in catching rats died here of the plague.

WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
Bad Day In Wall Street.

Thursday was a troublous day in finan-
clal circles. Almost a panic was expert
enced in Wall street. Ii came about
through the trading in stocks of the North
thern Pacific railroad. The Hill Morgan
syndicate, which has lately acquired the
burlington, has been trying to secure the
Northern so as to extend its system. To
this end it has largely increased its hold
ing OF stock in this road. The Union Pa
cific people, competing line, naturally
got nervous and made an effort 10 secure
the controlling interest in its rival. I'm
der the spirited competition, Northern Pa
citic stock had gone up from 90 to about
loo on the day preceding the crash. Some
spectators, tempted by the high price,
sold themselves "short." They expected
to see the market decline and TO be able to
deliver at a reduced rate, but the other
principal holders formed "cornerp and
they were unable TO get the stock to de-
liver, except by paying tremendous prices.
They were badly "squeezed," having to
pay as high as 1900 a share. This furry
had a demoralizing effect on other stocks,
which went down many points. An agree
ment was finally reached under which the
shorts were allowed to deliver at 140,
and the crisis was over. There was plenty
Of money in sight, and really no danger to
the general market. II was one-day at-
fair

Serious Trouble in Albany.

The street ear strike in Albany, n. Y,
has resulted in rioting and bloodshed.
The lines were tied up for some days on
account Of the strike OF union men. On
Tuesday the companies undertook TO run
the cars with non-union men. The ears
were attacked by mobs OF the strikers and
their sympathizers and those aboard
forced to join the union men. Efforts to
repair the wires that had been cut were
also unsuccessful in the face OF mobs who
stoned the workmen. The police were
powerless. The companies requested mil
itary protection, and Gov. Odell has order
ed out the Twenty-third regiment Of
Brooklyn, the Tenth battalion and Third
Signal corps Of Albany. Further trouble
is anticipated.
