 Scrap of Paper

DOUGLAS, Dec. 31-The munich pality of Cananea, supported by Adolfo de la Huerta. governor of Sonora, made good it's threat that no more Chinese should conduct business houses there. according to arrivals here late today. The Chinese had hoped that the threat of the federal government to send troops to enforce the order that the Chinese should re- ceive the same treatment as any other foreigners would be effectual. This hope was lost on Christmas day when riotous scenes took place on the streets, small groups of Mexicans as- saulting individual Chinese. Some of the Celestials were beaten severely. Many of the merchants sold their staple goods at current wholesale prices to business rivals of other na- tionalities.
 As early as Tuesday afternoon not a single Chinese store had it's doors open, it was said.
 No federal troops had reached Ca nanea up to this morning.

DOUGLAS Dec. 31.-ExceIsior, a Mexico City newspaper, in its is- sue of December 22, editorialIy, says:
 "We have profound admiration for the North American republic, for it's powerful energy, for its love of work and liberty, for the en- thusiasm it exhibits for progress and civilization, but these virtues are little shown, unfortunately, in its compartment toward Mexico. And in this occasion it has been Mr. Wilson who has inspired these sentiments. The president of the United States, contrary to his fa- nous doctrine of no interVen ntion, has interVened in Mexico every time he has seen a chance to gain.
