Mob Numbers $500 and Seems to

The mob was divided into two bodies
numbering about $500, mostly coolies.

The mob directed its attack against
three objects: The police stations, the
residences of the custom officials and
the large commercial houses. -Four
hundred troops were sent from Toxic

and soldiers are now guarding the
consulates, the warehouses containing
explosives and the oil tanks.

The mob used many short iron bars,
and had kerosene ready, showing that
there was some organization. 1t had

which thrent was forestalled by the
precautions of the troops. No anti

these companies in addition to their
many grating schemes, have made
a practice Of giving tens of thousands

the rascally insurance companies do

NO POLITICAL CONVICTIONS

"Their one inquiry is: Will the par.

remember our generosity and respond

a similar contribution next time. And
the expectation is not in vain.

the laws. and in statutory permission
to manufacturing corporations to levy
tribute on the people.
There can be no hope of checking
the unlawful aggressions of officers OF
great corporations so long as they may
thus form n quasipartnership with tho
organization of the dominant politica
party. For in the hour when the nd
ministrative official seeks to punish the
