works to obtain a free view of the an 1
mini football game between Stanford
ii nil the University of California
About 120 minutes after the same hail
commenced there was a crash plainly
fiudiblo from the football grounds and
portion of the crowd on the roof went
down
The tires in tho furnaces had been
Started for the first time yesterday and
the vats were full of liquid glass It
was upon these that the victims fell
Some wore killed instantly and others
were slowly roasted to death The
few who missed the furnaces or rolled
otf together with the workmen in the
plnss works saved the lives of many
who lay unconscious hy pulling them
nway from their horrible resting
places The police and tire department
were soon at hand and every patrol
wagon nnd ambulance in the city was
puinmoned They were not enough
nnd express wagons and private car
riages were pressed Into service to
carry off the dead and wounded Many
of tho injured were unconscious while
others were hurried shrieking with
agony to the hospitals The Southern
Pacific railway hospital was only two
blocks away and was quickly tilled
About -10 wounded were taken there
Others were sent to St Lukes hos
pital and the city receiving hospital
to private residences and other places
At the hospitals there was soon a
shortage of surgeons and some of the
wounded hail to wait until help came
The roof of the glass works was not
i200 feet nway from the football field
but the 20000 people watching the
game were too interested In the game
to notice what had occurred It was
only when the ushers went through
the vast crowd calling for doctors that
It became known there had been an
accident
IliiMHiii rriiindly to China
London Nov iiO Dr Morrison wir
ing to the Times from Peking yester
day says M de Giers who had pre
viously assented to all the terms of
the conjoint note including the death
penalty clause has now intimated to
the Chinese envoys that Russia ever
actuated by a sincere friendship for
China will insist either upon the re
vision of the deatli penalty clause sub
stituting u provision that the guilty
Khali be punished by the Chinese in a
manner acceptable to tho powers or
that the terms of the note shall not
be irrevocable but may be modified by
negotiations with tho Chinese envoys
Russia has thus again proclaimed how
farcical Is the so culled concert The
Chinese envoys are kept well Informed
regarding the discussions and dis
putes of the ministers at their meet
ings
