Under FOREIGN GUARD.
Marines from Foreign Vessels Landed
in Canton to Prevent Further IrouDle
-GNrernmcnt Acts.

Government Acts.
Hong komg, May 2.-The foreign
quarter OF Canton, known rs the
Shamien. is now under the guard OF
several hundred marines landed from
the foreign vessels lying in the West
river. Advices from the rebel-rlddt n
section today say the marines, most OF
when are from the four British vessels,
have posted rapid fire guns on the
canal bank.
| 1t is believed that this precautlon
will prevent the Shamien from being
attacked.
There are two United States gun
boats, four British vessels, two French
vessels and one German gunboat lying
off Canton.
So far the foreigners in Canton have
not suffered injury The commander
of the British force of marines is under
orders to take whatever steps he deems
necessary to protect the foreigners OF
all nationalitics.
There is, however, the gravest fear
for the safely oil tne MISSIONARIES aUu
traders scattered i'll the interior Of the
affected district. The Church Mission
ary Society. the Christian Missionary
Alliance, the Wesleyan Missionary So
ciety and the American Southern Bap-
tist Mission have about twenty-five
representatives throughout the dis
turbed area.
Primarily the revolt is anti-Manchu
in character, but incidentally it IS
foreign, and should the authorities once
lose control Of the situation, the foreign
population would be in the most pre-
catious position. The government IS
acting with as much yigor as possible,
knowing that should the revolution
show the least sign Of succeeding. the
troops. whose loyalty is questionable at
best. would desert to the rebels.

Fire Caused by Tramps.

Bangor. Me-. May 2.-Investigation
by the police and city officials show'
that only seventy-tiye families are IL
actual need Of immediate assistance.
following Sundays fire which destroy
ed four city blocks. This greatly simll
h.s the problem OF caring for the
sufferers were able today to get down
to business in deciding how the city Is
to be rebuilt.
1t is certain that nearly all Of the
establishments burned out will resume.
Some have already obtained temporary
quarters and in numerou. instances
private dwellings will be converted into
stores and Offices until the burned
structures can be replaced.
1t has been established that the hre
was caused by tramps who used the
hay shed in which the flames originated,
as a hangout. \ number OF them were
playing cards and smoking shortly
before the place caught fire.
The militia and cadet battallons are
still on duty about the ruins but no
looting has been reported.
A revised session shows that 2SI
dwellings were destroyed and that TO-
day l35 merchants and other buSines.
men are looking for temporary quar-.
ters. Telephone service will be i'm
possible for week and it is not thought
probable that the trolly cars will be
operated again for as least a month
About two and a half million dollar:
iusurances was carried on the build
ings destroyed and the local agents o
the insurance companies have assured
the committee Of public safety that the
losses will be paid promptly.

STATE DEPARTMENT ANXIOUS
Much Concern Felt Because OF Anti
Americanism In MeXico.-situati0n
Regarded as Serious.

EeSardeu as SERIOUS.
Much concern is felt by State De-
partment officials because of reports re-
ceiyed here of increasing expressions
Of anti -Americanism in Mexico. 1t Is
only reluctantly that the department
admits these reports are receiving Off
cial attention, but the fact remains
that diplomatic and consular agents
have been directed to investigate most
carefully each one Of the incidents re-
ported here. Americans coming from
Mexico have even stated that the Mexi-
can government is encouraging anti
Americanism among the masses. The
Slate Department, OF course, answers
these charges with reiteratlon OF its
expressed belief in the good faith OF the
Daz goyernmr' ;, but the work OF en-
deavorIng - trace the source OF the
anti American propaganda contioues.
The latest incident and one of the most
serious OF this nature, to claim the at
lention Of the department, is an out.
growth Of the alleged interview with
Vice President Corral " no was counted
as saying that America ns were foment-
ing the insurrection. 1t is reported that
hand bills, bearing this interview, are
b,ing distributed throughout central
Mexico, and that Mexican subordinate
officials are participating in the dlstri-
button 1t is also said that in the first
draft Of Diaz's reply to Taft. the word
extreme, meaning foreigner, wa-
used to designate the reyolutionists,
with the purpose, it is said. of creating
the impression that Americans we're
responsible for Mexico's internal
troubles.

PeHHSyiidh aia'''S "
Of Union.
Pi,tsburg, Pa, May 2.-What
promises TO be one Of the bittcrest and
most protracted struggles Of union
labor for recognition on the Pennsyl-
yania system, since the memorable
strike and riots OF 1877, took definite
form today with between 1000 and
1000 shopmen in the ranks Of the
strikers.
That the strike is mainly battle for
the recognition of organized labor, IN
the crafts affected, was freely admitted
by labor officials, and it is this plea
which the strikers claim will secure for
them the staunch support OF the SER
vice organizations Of the road.
Organizers Arthur (. Ireland and l.
H. Flynn have been actively organic
ing the shop workers since last Febru-
airy. Shortly after they began their
work, according to the organizers, the
railroad initiated a species of warfare
against the union, dropping from the
payroll union sympathizers.
These charges are denied by General
Manager Long for the railroad. Re
ports from the various shops on th,
Pittsburg division today indicate thai
the night shifts followed the lead of the
day men 1t is reported that the com,
pany has started to garrison the shops
ut Pitcairn and that carpenters have
been installing bunks iii the buildings.
At Youngwood, where all except eleven
men went out, a gang Of foreigners be
ing brought from Greensburg were IN
tercepted by strike pickets and forced
TO 20 back.
The real crux of the situation on the
Pittsburg division, it developed today,
is at Altoona, where $4,000 men are
employed. Conflicting reports have
heen received from the shops there,
the railroad officials saying the men
there state they have no interest in the
Pltsburg situation while the strike
leaders insist that the Altoona shops
will be tied up within forty-eighl hours.
