PREDICTS UPRISING SOON
Eye Witness of Shanghai Riot Ar
riyes in San Francisco


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. &c. e.
Young, an eye witness of the recent
riot in Shanghai, arrived here yester-
day from the orient on the steamer
Doric. He tells of the intense anti
foreign sentiment that exists among the
Chinese and predicts that an uprising
will take place within the next few
months.
Young says that 200 Chinese were
killed in the riot in Shanghai and that
only the presence of the foreign gun
boats at Shanghai prevented the whole
sale slaughter of Americans and Eng
lishmen. Young represents a local
firm, but because of the boycott, he
was unable to transact any business
with the Chinese merchants. Young
said:

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Naval men
are deeply concerned over the non
arrival at Gibraltar of the dry dock
Dewey. The dry dock has not been re-
ported by passing craft or by wireless
telegraphy since January %. 1t was
due to arrive at Gibraltar last Satur-
day, giving her little leeway for bad
weather
The Dewey is bound for Subig bay,
Philippines, by way of the Mediter-
ranean, Suez canal, Red sea and the
Indian ocean.
Before she left Chesapeake bay many
naval officers predicted that the up-
dertaking would fail. Nothing like it
was ever before attempted, the towing
of the dry dock to Havana from Scot
land being trivial by comparison.

JONI F. HAYS DEAD.

Mr.. John F. Hays, a former resident o

by hanging himself in his room at the

PERMANENT HOME FOR THE FIRE
FIGHTERS.

1t gives us pleasure to record the quick.
ening interest that is being taken towards
having the Bel Air fire hell put in shape
to give an alarm in case it is needed.
Three fires inside of four days were
enough to waken up almost anybody,
and the town commissioners seem now
to be moving with commendablc speed.
We hope they will not stop short of
having the apparatus put in such shaI c
and kept that way SO as to be OF service
in case of need. The bill for the bell ard
fixtures, for which the town had bee
sued, was paid on Wednesday,
A meeting of a number of citizens of the
town has started an effort to Obtain per
manent quarters tor the fire apparatus,
which is now being kept in the livery
stable of Shanahan and Smith for the
want of better place. 1t is proposed
to have the upstairs fixed up for meet
ing of the members of the fire department
and a general assemblage room for tie
town commissioners. Such an improve
ment will cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
and a number of ways have been suggest
ed to raise this amount. Perhaps the
most popular one will be a contribution
from each property holder of the town,
counted on a cert ain percentage of his
individual basis of taxation. This will
NOT he an eSDecia1lv heavy burden when
we consider that the necessity of a first
fire department has been proven many,
many times since the water was piped
here 16 years ago. Several confagra-
tions have threatened the entire place.
and but for our cffectuaI fire apparatus
Bel Air would probably have long ago
had the same experience of nearly every
other little town in the state.
