Nature Solved tu)i Problem Which
Una I'unclcd San Franclnoo.
For many years tho law abiding and
decent clement of San Francisco 1ms
urged the blotting out of its Chinatown.
Naturo has solved the problem. It was
too involved for human solution, but
the earthquake and tho Are accom
plished it so thoroughly that no doubt
remains. There may never be another
Ban Francisco Chinatown on the old
site. When tho new city rises out of
tho desolation which has fallen upon
tho old ono there will be llttlo to recall
tho alien, albeit alluring glimpse of
Aslntlc life that once stood out so viv
idly amid tho rush and insistence of
Western progress.
The earthquake and the Are revealed
to the shuddering world tho depth of
the Infamy that had found lodgment
there. Thirty thousand Chineso Inhab
ited this unsavory quarter, ten city
blocks, only six squares from what
was known as Newspaper corner. They
bad converted the frame buildings
which covered the district into plague
spots, In which they Itred tho strango,
discordant lives of the Oriental lower
classes. Their dally walk was fash
loned after a pattern quite unknown to
those of the West, and they gave alle
giance to laws and customs entirely
distinct from those of their near neigh
Dors, iror years they nave been a mys
tery even to those whose business It
was to know them Intimately. They
have defied successfully all the efforts
of San Francisco's police force to find
them out It has taken naturo to pen

Statehood Compromiser
Washington, June 12. The Carter
compromise on the statehood bill was
agreed upon today by Republican lead
ers of the houso and senate. Nothing
now stands In the way of admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as a
state, and a choice by Arizona and Now
Mexico as to whether they deairo to
come in as another Btate. It is expect
ed that the pending conference report
will be recommitted or withdrawn when
it comes up tomorrow and an amended
report returned to both houses embody
ing the compromise.

Washington, June 12. The Tillman

Every business, political and financial
ramification of the great trust is being
utilized directly and indirectly to have
a halt called on the government ex
posure, and, if possible, get an official
declaration that the portrayal of condi
tions in the packing houses has been
exaggerated. Cattle interests of the
great West and Southwest, which for
years havo been clamoring in congress
and ontaide of it for protection against
the trust, have even been persuaded
that a continuation of government hos
tility will rnin them.
The cry of panic has been raised.
Not only bankers handling truBt funds,
but their employes, friends and ac
quaintances in theb usiness, eocial and
political world, have been enlisted to
use their efforts In the gigantic struggle
that is now in progress, to stem the
tido against tho packers.

New York, June 12. An attempt
was mado tonight to explode a bomb in
a manholo of tho Interborough Rapid
Transit company in (ront oi the power
house, at East Seventy-fourth street,
which furniaheea current to the sub

years old, was arrested, the police say,
aa he was about to light the fuse of
the bomb aa it lay on the manhole
cover. Two companions who wore with
him escaped. On Bartky was found
three other bombs, all being of uni

When the high winds which came
after the fire scattered tho piles of
ashes that covered the surface of Chi
natown the mouths of numerous yawn
lng tunnels were disclosed. Tho en
trances to these subterranean passages
bad been concealed so carefully that
the existence of a Chinatown under
world was not known to many San
Franciscans. It is certain that very
few white men have ever explored these
underground lanes.
In this underground Chinatown bun
dreds of men and women went to their
deaths yearly without an inkling of the
manner of their taking off being known
to the police. Some of the tunnels were
100 feet below the surface, and it was
easy to conceal all evidences of crime
committed ln them. Members of the
constantly warring tongs, or secret so
cieties, who were slain left friends who
sought revenge ln these secret and far
away chambers of horror. Men who
wero suave and discreet Chinese mer
chants abovo ground conducted dens of
Infamy nnd slave markots in the lower
regions. Gambling In Its most de
praved forms was the chief occupation.
