methods of executing the laws prac-
<tically do this by subjecting Chinese
who do not belong to the cody class
to what they consider indignities.
Caste means much to the Chinaman,
and when a merchant coming to Amer
lea to buy hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars worth of our goods is held up
at port and put through an eXamlna-
ton like that of q criminal it makes
him rebellious. President Roosevelt
was waited on recently by delega-
ton of merchants from the American
Asiatic association, which represents
the cotton textile and steel industries
of the United States. Its members
claim that the retention Of the patron
age of the Chinese is essential to the
prosperity Of these industries and that
the exports to China in these lines Of
trade amounted during the past fiscal
year to about S50,000,000.
1t is said that the anti-American agi-
tation in China is due In part to the
identification system adopted by our
immigration authorities. A great many
coolies got into this country under the
guise of merchants and students and
professional men. To prevent the con-
tinuance Of this the department Of i'm
migra ton set about devising methods
which should be effective in keeping
out all Chinese except those whose ad-
mission was permissible under the
laws. 1t was discovered that a ring
existed which was growing rich from
the profits Of the business Of helping
coolies to cross the Canadian border

Jellico. Tenn, Sept. 23.-Twelve
deaths, the injuring of scores OF other
persons and 100000 damages5to prop
erty were caused here yesterday when
. carload OF dynamite standing on
track near the Southern railway depot
exploded with a report that was heard
for twenty miles. Buildings were shat
tered in the business section of the
town and nearly every piece of glass
within a radius Of one mile of the
scene was broken.
The freight car contained $50 boxes
Of $4,000 pounds Of high explosives,
consigned to the Rand Powder com.
pany, at Clearfield, Tenn.
Use Car as Target.
l. Two causes are assigned for the ex-
plosion. One is that three parties
were shooting at mark on the car
and that bullet entered the car and
caused the explosion. The other is
that while the car was standing on g.
side track car load of pig iron was
switched against it, and that the i'm
pact caused the explosion. People
here are divided as to the theories,
some going SO far as to say that they
actually saw the men firing at the
car with rifle.
The depot of the Southern, which
was located near the scene of the ex-
plosion, was wholly wrecked. Two
hotels. the Glenmorgan and the Car
ruthi~n, were badly wrecked, the third
story of the latter being wholly de-
stroyed.
Two Hundred Are injured.
The list Of injured will number 200,
counting those slightly hurt. Business
houses were badly disf1gured and
stocks Of goods ruined, while resi-
dences suffered severely.
Some estimates on the loss of life
extend the number as high as forty,
but it Is believed this is an exaggera-
ton. Fully 500 people are homeless.
The disaster is the worst since the
terrible explosion in the Fratherhill
mine in 1902, when 1874 miners lost
their lives.
