Personally, I am opposed on principle to Chinese, Japanese and all other Asiatic Immigration, but 1 am Inclined to believe that In the present emergency, and In view of the efforts of the president to secure an amicable adjustment of the relations between this country and the empire of Japan, state legislatures ought to be conservative in all 'legislation on the subject, trusting to a satisfactory sutcome of negotiations now pending between the two governments.

The newa of the disaster reached here Monday, telegraphic communication with Acapulco having been destroyed, owing to e S00 the fact that the telegraph office adjoining the theater was burned and all wires put out of commission. The Flores theater was a wooden structure, and over 1,000 people crowded Into It to witness a special performance given in honor of Gov ernor Damian Flores, of the state of Guerro, who was visiting the host at the time. One of the numbers on the program consisted of a series of moving pictures. While the operator was exhibiting these a film caught fire and a blaze was quickly communicated to somo bunting which had been used for - decorative purposes. In an incredibly short time the flames spread to all parta of the structure. There were but three narrow exlta and the audience rushed to them, many persons falling, to be crushed to death, their bodies choking the way to escape for others. The screams of those imprisoned were horrifying. Owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread and Its Intense heat it waa Impossible to attempt rescue work, and those Imprisoned were literally roasted alive, as the lire burned with little smoke, and few were suffocated. The efforts of the fire department were confined to attempting to save the adjoining buildings, and the firemen succeeded so well that the proploss waa small. erty " Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair at the theater being a social event of considerable Importance and calling out tbe wealthiest and oldest families for miles around. In some instances whole families were wiped out. The municipal authorities caused large trenches to be dug, and into these the; bodies were laid.
