eral hundred men.
Very trim and business-like ap-
peared the Hal Chi as she came up
to the harbor shortly before noon
Wednesday. She is painted in dull
grey, the conventional battleship
color, and her name appears in Chi
nese ideographs on the stern. She is
handled in first class sailor fashion
and bears all the appearances OF a
warship OF the most modern type,
which, as a matter Of fact, she is,
having been only lately completed
and taken over by the Chinese gov
ernment.
The courtesies of the port was ex-
tended to the Chinese admiral and
the, naval and army officials at the
navy: yeard and at the island forts

tern world. He speaks English per-
fectly and has visited this country
before. He has seen much service
in sthe Chinese navy and served in
the: Chino-Japanese war. Some OF

DEATH AMONG MERRY-MAKERS.
Rockets Explode in Mexican Church.
-NIaderO Festival.

A terrific explosion OF rockets and
bcombs in a crowded church at Quad
alajara, Mexico, Wednesday, resulted
in four dead and fifteen seriously
injured, cast shadow of gloom
over the merry-makers attend
ing the coming of Madero Wednes-
day. Of the wounded many were so
seriously burned or trampled in the
panic which followed that they are
believed to have been fatally injured.
Fifty rockets and six hundred
bombs had been stored in the Chapel
of Jesus for use in celebrating the
arrival of the sacred image of the
Virgin Of Zapoapian, which at this
season is carried from church to
church and believed to have power to
effect miraculous cures on the faith
full.
The explosives, piled at the foot
of the stairs leading to the tower, is
thought to have been ignited by the
careless dropping of lighted cigar
cite. Those nearest were hurled in
all directions by the force OF the de-
tonation.
The building was quickly filled
with suffocating smoke, which blind
ed the struggling and frantic occu-
pants who fought one another in
their efforts to reach the exits. When
the smoke cleared away one man was
found dead partially disemboweled,
and three boys, one eight and two
ten years old. so frightfully burned
and mangled that they died soon al
ter being carried from the building,

smothered early Monday morning in
a Ire said ODE incendiary that partly
destroyed two small fiat buildings at

scarcely scorched and it is thought
they were asphyxiated by smoke be-
fore the alarm of fire aroused them.
Two babies were dropped from Sec
ond floor windows unhurt.

POLICE QUELL RIOTS
FORCED TO CHARGE MOBs WITH
DRAWN SABRES.
Mexican Indians Cruelty Chiofas Cit
izen When They Sacked That Place
Women and Children Murdered.

Within few hours after the re-
turn OF Francisco I. Madero, Jr.
from his speaking tour through the
south Thursday, Mexico City again
became the scene Of riots whose
quellin by the mounted police result
quelling by the mounted police re-
suited in two fatally wounded and Is
injured. To restore order the police
were forced to charge the mobs with
sabres drawn.
Groups of manifestants were still
parading the streets and shouting
''Vivas" for the returning candidate
when police were compelled to dis
perse rioters who had gathered in
the zocalo in front OF the city hall.
The work of the authorities accom-
plished here was repeated half an
hour later in a factory district ten
blocks away, where the same drastic
measures were employed to suppress
another outbreak.
Neither of these riots had any
great political significance and their
origin on the day of Madero's return
was either merely coincidence or
due to the fact that the thousands Of
manifestants on the streets made 1t
easy for troublemakers to get in their
work.
Instigated by those who profess to
believe that Antonio Rivergo, the
governors secretary, was response
Bile for the political confusion in the
state of Chiapas, the mob marched to
the zocalo. Its numbers steadily in
creasing and the cries became so IN
sistent and insulting that the author
tiles called out the mounted police.
Twice the police called on the peo-
pie to disperse, but without result.
Sabres then were drawn and the
squadron charged into the midst Of
the mob, which gave way, but not
until few scattering shots from re-
volvers had been fire by the rioters,
one of which fatally wounded men,
Der of the mob.
Ten minutes later the Zocalo was
deserted, but the neuclus of the mob
remained intact and gathering fresh
recruits the hoodlums marched to La
Carolina, textile mill in the north
ern part of the city A labor dispute
was pending there and the rioters
efforts were directed toward precipi-
tating a strike. Another squadron of
mounted police charged the rioters.
This time the mob did not reform.

Interstate means of communication
be denied the exchanges, but this

of possible legal resistance, a sub
stitute motion was adopted after the
debate.

delivery he had.

7orts from these committees to the

president of the State Farmers I'm
ion be requested to keep the local
