DlsPENsARY AND SALOON.
Lively Fight Probable over Question
at Charlotte. N. c.

Charlotte, N. c.. Dec. 22.-An inter
esting question will be presented to
the members-elect from Mecklenburg
county to the next legislature within
the next few days. This question will
be whether or not Charlotte is to do
away with the saloons in their pres
ent restricted form or whether a dis
pensary will be placed here.
At the present time there are IS
saloons in the city of Charlotte that
are required to open st o'clock and
close at 8. For the privilege of sell
ing whisky during these hours, the sa-
loon men are taxed 81 900 by the city
and $3.50 by the state and county The
present reform administration will, it
Is said, advocate a dispensary.
During the campaign in which men,
bers of the legislature were elected,
there was little said in regard to the
whisky question, as there seemed to
be tacit understanding that the pres
ent liquor laws would stand at least
for the next two years.
1t now develops that there will be
an effort made to drive the saloons
from the city of Charlotte and place
in their stead one or two dispensaries,
to be run on the same plan as the
present South Carolina law. While
this will precipitate an interesting
fight, there is little doubt but that
the present reform administration will
carry an y point that it attempts.
The legislature elected at the las:
election has been polled and there
seems to be no ground for the wrisky
men to hope for any better laws than
those now In force and there is strong
possibility that the sale of liquor will
be curtailed in a number of counties,
including this.

lnjured-Local Train Strikes Rear
of Owl Train-Possengers Buried In
Debris.
Byron, Cal, Dec. 22.-Twenty-three
persons were killed and q injured in
the collision Saturday night between
the southbound Los Angeles owl
train and the Stockton flyer. 1t was
a rear-end collision, the engine OF the
local plowing it's way into the last
coaches of the Owl, which was filled
with Fresno people. The passengers
who escaped death were hurled to the
fore part of the coach, crushed in be-
tween the mass of debris, their suffer
ings and danger intensified hundred
fold by the clouds of scalding steam
that poured out upon them from the
shattered boiler of the Stockton en-
gine.
After the Owl left the Oakland
mole it was noted that there was a
leak in the flue Of the engine. This in.
creased to such an extent that it was
deemed advisable to stop here to take
up freight engine for relief. The
train officials knew that the Stockton
local train was following half hour
behind and flagman was sent back
to give warning of the presence of
the Owl.
1t is said that the Stockton train
in charge of Engineer MCGUIRE and
Fireman Joyce, got the warming signal
in due time, and gave the usual re-.
spOnse with whistle blasts. Why the
incoming train was not checked, how
ever, has not thus far been explained
the men who could give the facts be-
ing numbered among the badly injur
ed. On came the train, with appar
emily scarcely any diminution of speed
and the Fresno coach was completely
telescoped. So forcibly did the local
meet the rear of the Owl that the end
of the second car, the dining car, was
smashed in and the three cooks were
seriously hurt.

guns as the soldiers approached and
claim being friendly. He also related
the circumstances of the murder of

was friendly with the Americans.

Chinese Minister Replies to Resolu-

Minneapolis, May 10.-Wu Ting
Fang's official reply to the resolution
passed by the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, advising him not to accept the in
Yitation of Rawlins post, G. A. r., to
visit Minneapolis this summer, has
been received by Secretary Boreen. The
councils resolution was inspired by the
pending agitation against the local
Chinese restaurants on behalf Of the
cooks union, the council taking the
ground that the Chinese minister's
presence might intensity the feeling
against his countrymen. WI Ting
Fang says in part:
II have not yet made up my mind
whether shall go to Minneapolis or
not. In any case, should I find that my
presence would injuriously affect the
interests of organized labor in the least
I would not leave Washington. But
think the purpose of my proposed visit
has been misconstrued. 1t has nothing
to do with the labor disputes in your
city. I am not labor agitator."
The minister, In conclusion, says he
Is the friend of labor. "The hand of
every man." he says. Should not be
against that of every other, but should
grasp that of every other in friendly
sympathy. There should be no dog-in-
the manger policy. There is work
enough for all who really want work,
and herein lies opportunity for mutual
assistance"

numbers into Fort de France from the
surrounding country and demanding

says hot mud and cinders have been
falling all night thruout the island and
still continue doing great damage, and
when the final reports Rave been re-
ceived 1t will be found that many peo-
pie have been killed or injured in other

believed that when the rain of fire be-
