q battle between two Of the big Chi
nese societies in the Chinese theatre
In Dover street, tonight, three CHINA
men were killed, two others probably
fatally wounded, and many others in
jured. According to a report made
by the police, the Hip Sing Tong
started the trouble. The theatre holds
about 400 people and was crowded
with visiting Celcstials from all over
the metropolitan district. Suddenly
ss the actors reached a climax in the
play, there was a loud explosion OF
giant firecrackers, quickly followed by
several others. The actors fled In
terror and the packed audience surg
ed toward the rear, where several OF
the Hip Sing Tongs began an tndis-
eliminate fusilade into the throng.
The audience charged the men ana
fought desperately to reach the street.

mostly with Chinese. added their
crowds. The police found five men
lying in rools of blood and score or

bullets. Three Of the men died after

Greenville News: In their MAD
desire to advertise seashore resorts
some hotel keepers, with the aid OF
irresponsible newspaper correspond
ents, often overstep the mark. That
shark story from Beaufort, \. C.'
published all over the country the
other day, was the widest yarn on
record. 1t was made to appear that

and cut him into small portions as he
hit the surface. eating him without
salt, pepper or onions. All OF us nat
urally felt sorry for the boy and his
parents. The reporter could have
given a little more trimming to the
story even II the shark didn't need II
for the feast but it turns out, OF
course, that there was absolutely no
foundation for the report. If the re-
porter had been smart he would have
reversed things, for 1t would nave
been more thrilling II he had made
the boy swallow the shark. That ver-
sion would be as reasonable as the
other.
AN official gazette for the admin
istration, says a Washington Dispatch
is strongly hlnted at in the questions
asked of heads Of departments by
the departmental committee OF inqul-
nv. and it is believed to be the inten-
ton of the committee 70 recommend
the establishment of such a publica-
ton to President Roosevelt. whether
he can establish such a publication
without an act of congress cannot be
learned, but II is supposed that he has
that power. Official gazettes are pro-
ducts of most of the European gov
ernments, but there has never been
ANYTHING Of that kind in this country.
II has been under advisement here
tofore, but nothing has ever been
done. The new suggestion Will be
watched with interest. Such publ
cation would have to be pretty bulky
affair. 1t would cover a good many
pages of newspaper size each day.
There Is no publication of that ma
ture now, although the treasury de-
partment has small weekly publica-
ton that 1t calls Treasury Decisions.
1t comes out each Thursday and con-
tains all decisions relating to the tariff,
internal revenue and other subjects.
1t is printed for circulation among
customs and internal revenue OFF,
GERS. The government does some ex-
tensive advertising as TO contracts,
supplies, etc, and the establishment
of an official gazette might break
down the publication of one or two
weekly papers that get much adver-
tising relating to work on public
buildings, etc.

Russia, who are in this country to
