PIRATES HOLD FULL
SWAY ON WEST RIVER

Hongkong, Nov. 26.--The West
river is swarming with pirates and
traffic to WI Chow in Kwang 81
province is greatly imperilled. The
steamship companies are greatly
alarmed and are considering the sus-
pension of their services, but are con-
tinung for the present with armed
crews.
Great Indignation has been arous-
ed by the attack by pirates on the
British steamship Shiuan a few days
ago when Chief officer Nicholson
was murdered and the people are be-
coming clamorous for Intervention OF
some kind to put down the lawless-
ness.
In 1906, owing to the piratical out
RACES. guards were placed on all the
steamers and other precautions were
taken, but latterly because of over
confidence that the British flag was
immune from attack, these precau-
tions were relaxed. The rifles nave
become rusty and their passengers
are without ammunition. one sleaih-
er carries a cannon, but no snells.
Canton is said to be practically III
the hands Of brigands. Grave trou-
bles are feared. General Lung Is al
most powerless to maintain order and
contemplates flight. Some anxiety Is
felt by the foreigners.

BRIDGE UNDER REPAIR
SUDDENLY C0LLAPSES

Seattle, Wash., Nov. 26.--One man
was killed and several others were
injured late today when a steel
bridge east of Maple Valley on the
Columbia ana Puget Sound railroad
collapsed and fell into Cedar river.
Gill Thompson, a bride tender, was
caught in the wreck. His body has
not been recovered.
The men were engaged IN repairing
the damage done by the recent Hood

mission and deprived Seattle of water
and light for six days.
The bridge was a steel truss span,
140 feet long. One end was carried
from It's abutment by the flood last
Sunday and the two gangs OF men
We're working under the displaced
structure preparing to remove II so
that a temporary bridge could be
built. 1t is supposed that the jar
caused by the pounding of a nearby
pile-driver dlslodged some of the
braces that supported the bridge and
caused 1t to fall.
