WANT TO REGISTER
LEADING CHINAMEN IN SAN
 FRANCISCO ARE BUSY.
Nothing to Show Since the Earth Quake. as to Their Legal Residence
 -Coolies are in Panic,

Los Angeles, Cal, May 14.-The California Chinese are to make an ef- fort before the highest authorities for complete registration of their peo- pie.
 The contention of leading Chinese is that more than 25,O00 certificates of registration. great part of which are not duplicated in Washington, were destroyed in the San Francisco fire. It is stated that there are only 50.000 Chinese in California. Many of the Chinese are bordering on panic, for they realize that should their right to be in the United States be questioned they have nothing to show their legal residence. For months to come any Chinese who has a passible knowledge of English and American manners will claim on ar- rest that his certificate was destroyed in San Francisco. The problems that now confront the immigration off, cials are now practically endless. The registration now in effect was made twelve years ago. The Chinese claim that this was imperfect and in some respects on wrong basis.

Explosion Heard Here.

John Smith, of Keefe street, who keeps look out for the water guage in the office of the water works on Benedict street, got quite a shock about 4:30 o'clock this morning when he received telephone call from William McDermott, caretaker of the East Mountain and Prospect reservoirs, asking if anything had happened the mains in Waterbury, and adding that great disturbances had been felt out that way. MT Smith reported everything all right here, so far as he knew, but when Superintendent Kilduff called at the office later on and heard what MT McDermott had said he drove out to East Mountain to find out what there was to it. The first person the super intendent saw when he got there was John Kenney, an employe of the city, examining the dam to see if he could detect any cracks in it, but none was discovered. Frank Allen. a Prospect farmer, also heard the shock and had a hard time keeping his horses and cattle from running wild from fright. Two young men, who happened along by the reservoir while MT Kilduff was there, said they were hitching up when the shock came and the earth trembled under them so that the horses cut up all kinds of capers and they had all they could do to restrain them. They thought it was caused by an earth quake in some part of the state and declared that the appearance of the sun as it went down last night fcre- told trouble of some sort. Caretaker McDermott was tae nest puzzled man of all, and to make things worse Superintendent Kilduff could offer no explanation until he returned to Waterbury and read the Democrat bulletin telling of the explosion in Bridgeport Then he sent the news over the wire to Prospect and the residents of that district as we'll as Superintendent Kilduff and Watch man Smith breathed easier.

ANOTHER ONE GONE
ADMIRAL KUzMlsH WAS AssAs.
 SINATED TO-DAY.
He Was Very Unpopular With the Workmen. Having Tried to Stop
 the May Day Parade.

St Petersburg, May 14.-Admiral Kuzmich, commander of the port, who was very unpopular with the workmen, was assassinated here to- day by workmen whose May day cele- bration he had attempted to stop. The admiral was killed at the new admiralty works, a government insti- tuition where most of the 1000 em- ployes reported for duty at five o'clock this morning. They wanted to immediately march out in body and celebrate the Russian May day, but finally agreed to work till two o'clock In the afternoon. The admiral, how ever, made speech to the men, say ing that he could not agree to their leaving work at two o'clock and the matter was left open.
 At about 9 :3G q. m.. according to an officer who was at the gate of the works. the admiral was emerging from small shop in the works when a workman who had been concealed around the corner of the building leaped on Kuzmich from behind end drove long dagger into his back. The admiral fel l forward on his face. which was badly cut by stones. and expired immediately. The assassin fled into a large forge where he was lost among the men employed there. ,lhe works were promply surrounded by troops and police but the search for the murderer was unavailing his comrades protesting ignorance of his identity
 The police say it is evident that the assassination of the admiral had been planned in advance The dagger which was found on the spot. was concealed around stick, like sword cane
 Among the workmen are many for mer sailors and revolutionists. Euz- mich had bad reputation among the workmen. being regarded as hari and despotic.

 Shore People Friphtened.

Bridgeport, May 14.-Four small magazines out of a group of ten, De- longing to the Union Metallic Car fridge company and situated on Sue cess Hill, in the northern suburbs or Bridgeport, were blown up early to- day producing an effect which could onIy he ikened to heavy eartn- quake shock of three seconds aura tion with recurrent shock oi apous the same length, and which was lell in every part of Conencticut more es- pecially in the hilly sections. Ac- cordinR to Superintendent George '. Thrope of the company the quantity of .exnlosive which made the disturb ance was 5000 pounds divided equal ly between the smokeless and plack varieties. The shock was far heavier than any preceding one in this clty' that of August 18th last when a priming house in the city proper was leveled being of comparative Iorce and having identical effect Tn demol- ishing windows and yet not causing loss of life by direct violence. There were deaths from shdck after the priming house explosion and to-day the death of Patrick Doherty, rali- road section man at Milford, IS at- tributed in part to the explosion al though the medical examiners ma ing is that of heart failure superin- diced by excitement and over exer- ton. Although window glass was shattered in immense quantities In every direction for radius or ten miles around the loss in this respect Is placed at less than $1O,OOO by the company's officials and the bill or damage will be quickly settled. rms was the method adopted at the last explosion, and the damage then down was quickly repaired. An earth quake could not have created greater excitement in the city.
 The cause of the explosion IS not vet determined by the company. Some of the officers say that it would have needed a fire to have ignited the powder and they have a theory that flash of lightning set ire to the buildings.
 Another theory is that the temper ature of yesterday followed by ex- cessive dampness during the night produced an atmospheric change which brought about ignition. An inquiry into the cause has been be- gun. tf

Gigantic Community of Financial In- terests Wiping Out Worlds

In Worlds Work, French Strother describes the influences that bear on Niagara falls and threaten their de struction. From this article, Shall Niagara Be Saved?" the following quo tation is taken: Thus we swing the complete circle of interests that are centered around the incident of Mag ara falls. The same interests control the railroads. the electrical supplies companies, and the power companies. And in the midst of this gigantic com munity of financial interests, whose operations are already of momentum sufficient ultimately to tax the power producing capacity of Niagara. stand the falls-not as a magnificent monu- ment to the pride of the United States in a glory of nature, but as the 16S- foot drop of 224.000 cubic feet of water per second. transmutable Into 5,o00.- 900 electrical horsepower for the uses of an industrial monopoly. That we. as a people. have given our share of the necessary permission is to our shame.

This is: What have we. directly or indirectly, received in return for the franchises we have given?
