Canton ss 3ne of th, Oldest Cities

Canton, the capital of the province
OF kwangtHns, has Il population of
about 100000 and is one Of the oldest
cities in the world, and until the port
OF Hongkong was opened it was the
export city OF the empire. Its old
walls and Notifications, with their old
guns, are all now obsolete and entirely
neglected, remaining only as monu-
ments Of departed ages. They have
never been of service except as warm
Ing OF danger to an invading foe aud
no doubt had the desired effect until
the last half century
Canton is said to be absolutely and
thoroughly Chinese, and there is no
other city in the empire that is more so.
There it exists today. with it's narrow
streets, its old temples, its wealth, its
extreme poverty and it's peculiarly
constructed buildings, and when one
considers the habits and customs of it's
people and their achievements in the
arts so characteristic Of that country,
its ancient history SO resplendent cen

bic, and sees there now SO much that
is filthy and repugnant to common de-
cency and civilization the present
state Of the country needs but to be
seen to be condemned.
No stranger is respected or safe from
insult within its limits unless he has
official or military bearing or is in

countrymen, armed with plenary H.

Deadly Explosion in Pittsbure.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 13.-The Shera-
den yard of the Panhandle railroad
was the scene last evening of the most
disastrous explosion of oil cars, fol-
lowed by fire, known in this section for
many years. A score of lives were lost
and about 200 persons were SO badly
burned that, according to the judgment
of physicians in attendance, seventy
five per cent. of them will die from the
effects of their injuries.
The cause of the catastrophe was
the explosion of n train of naphtha cars,
which were being switched at the yard.
In the switching the rear car tele-
scoped car forward. The leaking
naphtha ignited from a switch light,
causing an explosion which threw the
flames fifty feet high. Much of the es-
Gaping naphtha ran through Cork's run
to Esplain borough, distance of one
and one-half miles. and caused another
explosion, blowing to atoms the Sey
mour hotel and the Collins House, on
River road, and badly wrecking a
frame building near by, in which We're
congregated POO or more men from
Pittsburg and vicinity, betting on the
races and ball games.

SAD TRAGEDY AT DELTA.
Base Ball Dispute Leads to stabbing Of
John Stevens.

Denver, May 13.-A Republican spe-
cial from Delta last night says:
One death and two arrests is the re-
suit of an argument to-day over
baseball game played week ago. The
participants in the affray were John
Stevens, aged twenty-One, and Gus

sixteen years respectively. Stevens
was stabbed by Gus Bass. Both the
Bass boys claim that Stevens drew
revolver and that the stabbing was
done in self-defense. A .32-caliber re-
vQlver was found near the out
stretched right hand of the dead man.
There is no known witness to the
deed excepting the two Bass boys.
Gus Bass gave himsSf mp Immediate

came to the Jail as soon as he heard

object to Change of Sabbath.

New York, May 13.-The discussion
concerning the observance of the Sab
bath which arose during the annual
session of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis in New Orleans re-
recently has stirred up more or less ar
gument among the orthodox Hebrews
in this city.
A vigorous protest has been made
against the liberal school of rabbis,
who raised the question in the con-
ference, to the extent of suggesting
that the Sabbath Day should be
changed. The Talmud Torah commit
tee of the Chab Seedok congregation,
this city, met and after denOuncing
the conduct of the rabbis sent a tel
egram to the conference at New Or
leans as follows:
'Rappoport at Braunschweig confer

SEVEN CITIES ARE IN RUINS
BY the Great Earthquake That Shook
Guatemala.

New Orleans, La, May 13.-The
mail steamer Anslem from Puerto Bar
rios, Guatemala, arrived last night
with official reports from the Guate-
mala earthquake. The disaster was
much more appalling than ut first re-
ported. Not building was left stand
ing in the city of Queszaltenango, the
second city in the republic. The place
is now under martial law.
At SalcajO 175 persons are known to
be dead. Patzum was completely de-
stroyed by the shock.
MaZtenangO was wrecked and left
in ruins. The seismic disturbance
seemed to move from southeast to
northwest, keeping in direct line with
the Sierra Madre mountains.
Amatitan was totally destroyed.
San Marcos, San Pedro and Zejutla
We're left in a heap.
The total loss of life cannot be esti-
mtaed as yet, but it is cOnservatively
estimated to be between $500 and
5000 souls.
On April 2Sth the relief fund had
reached the sum of $131 900. Presi-
dent Cabrera came forward with u
personal subscription of $4,000. The
American colony gave $4,000 for i'm
mediate relief. The Guatemalan Con-
gress Is now In session and is devoting
its whole time to relieving the suffer
