and March on CapiUl.
San FranclHco. Nov. 29. Twenty
out of 116 Chinese held at the Pa
cific Mail dock, pending the decis
ion of the Immigration officials as to
whether or not they were entitled
to enter the United States, eacaped
from the detention shed last night.
Four of them were recaptured In
Chinatown today and returned to tha
uhed. Immigration officials, the lo
al police and the officers of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company are
prosecuting a vigorous search for the
others.
The Orientals cut the heavy wire
netting over one of the windows,
sawed through two iron bars and
alid down a water pipe. A night
watchman discovered the open win

PROSECUTOR IS KILLED
Port An Prince, Nov. 30. The
revolutionists, under command of
General Antolne Simon, the ex-commander
of the Department of tha
South, following up their victory
over the government forces at Ansa
a Veuu, are pushing up to Port au
Prince. They have driven back the
government. troops many miles and
have seized the towns of Miragoane
and Petit Goave.
It is believed that General Celes
tln Cyrluque, minister of war. who
took refuge in the German consulate
of the former town. Is still there, but
It is feared that there will be many
desertions to the revolutionists
President Nord Alexis has ener
getically rejected the suggestion that
he give up the struggle, and the gov
ernment Is now actively engaged In
organizing Its forces for a strong
rescue.
New Feature to Contest,
Salem The contest over the pre
Idcncy of the State Senate is of par
ticular Interest at the coming ses
sion of the legislature because. In
case of the election of Governor
Chamberlain to tha United States
Senate, the president or the Senate
would be second In succession to tba
Governorship. The fact that Secre
tary Benson bas been ill several
times during hla two yean of aer
vlce and that there have been ru
mors of his resignation, make! the
presidency of the Senate still more
important.
The constitution provides that In
case of vacancy In the office of Gov
ernor, the office shall devolve upon
the Secretary of State. The Supreme
Cot. has held that under such con
tingency the Secretary becomes Gov
ernor in fact and that he continues
In office as Governor even though his
term as Secretary may terminate..
It is therefore apparent that if
Governor Chamberlain should be
come Senator, Secretary Benson
would become Governor. He could
then resign as Secretary and appoint
nis successor in that position.
