CHINESE SHOPS WRECKED.
AT TIMARTJ. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) TIM ABU, Sunday. Several loiters have appeared in the local,papers, protesting against custom being given to Chinese fjruitereers. On Saturday night, under cover of darkness due to the electric street lights being cut off, a small crowd wrecked, more or less, four Chinese shops, in some eases breaking the plate glass windows. No arrests have been made. In the darkness it was impossible -to see where the missiles (fruit and vegetables from the shops) came from. The streets have been without lights for several nights, owing to both the gas Reducer and steam plants going wrong at the same time. Only a little power for some domestic light was available from a small combined steam, and-dynamo. It is hoped that , ihe big steam engine will be restored .to duty to-night.
