AtD translation: mad foreigners screaming in tongues

[Mike Jing]

P89.31-37   Telluride was in the nature of an outing to a depraved
amusement resort, whose electric lighting at night in its extreme and
unmerciful whiteness produced a dream-silvered rogues’ district of nonstop
poker
games, erotic practices in back-lot shanties, Chinese opium dens most of
the Chinese in town had the sense to stay away from, mad foreigners
screaming in tongues apt to come skiing down the slopes in the dark with
demolition in mind.

Who are these "mad foreigners"? And what kind of "demolition" do they have
in mind?
