Revolution Against Present Pres ident of the Orientals.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 16.-The Chinese colony of this city have de- termined to finance revolution against President Yuan Shih-kai be- cause of his arrest and imprisonment of 300 members of the legislature and the assumption of the powers of an absolute monarch.
 Several millions of dollars will be spent by the Chinese of this and oth- CT coast cities in sending arms and ammunition to the rebels of southern China, who are in open revolt against
 the present government. The revolu- tion of last August was a farce be- cause of the lack of organization and the inability to provide the army with the necessary equipment. It is ex- pected that with money from Amer ica this difficulty can be overcome.
 Dr. Sun Vat Sen, the first pres dent

 Says the Court.

SALEM. Ore, Dec. 16.-The super for court today decided that the cleo tions held in this city in November were illegal, as the statute provid- ed they could not be held except dur ing state elections, and that therefore the cities had no legal right to vote wet or dry and that the conditions existing prior to the election must re main until the state election is held next year. If confiA med by the court of appeals the decision will allow many of the cities in the state to re main wet for anot' CT year.
 The Prohibition party carried all the small towns and cities of the state last November and will fight the de- cision of the court and carry the case to the highest tribunal in the state, and if defeated will make another fight next year that will force the vets out of all the cities with the exception of Portland. and they will wage fight in that city that will give the saloon owners some concern, say the lead CTS of the blue riboonites.

CHEMNITZ, Germany, Dec 1e.-An
 earthquake which happened while a train was passing through tunnel
 near here caused the tunnel to col lapse and crushed the train, killing four passengers and injuring forty others.
 The sudden shock of the quake and the vibration of the rock broke the roof of the tunnel and caused it to cave in. Many were caught and imprisoned for hours, but were res
 cued unhurt, the frame work of the cars protecting them from the debris which fell.
 Of the forty injured several are ex- pected to die. A relief train left here shortly after the accident with doc tors and a detachment of soldiers, who aided in rescuing those imprisoned. The quake did no other damage but
 caused many of the people of this city
 to run into the streets, shivering with excitement and fear The shock was
 severe but lasted for only a few mo- ments.

 CRIME CARNIVAL

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 16.-In spite of every effort of the police the carnival of crime which started here several weeks ago still contin- ues and every night citizens are held up on the streets and robbed, houses are entered and burglarized. The cit izens are advocating the revival of the Vigilantees committee to aid the po-- lice. The number of crooks now in the city. drawn here by the expec- tation of robbing tourists who come to visit the fair grounds, is startling. The closing down of New York and other eastern cities, where the police have clamped the lid on tight, has also materially added to the number of undesirables.
