' VVaists, Separate Buckles—by ': GUNBOATS ASKED'FOR. Foreigners In Fu Kien Want Protec- tion From the Chinese. ’ , NATIVES BURNED A MISSION Dr. Leonard Declares That the English- men In China Who Live In Open Sin Are Responsible For llIuch of the Existing Trouble. SHANGHAI, Aug. 7.——The Mercury of this city today publishes a dispatch from Fuchau, saying that the position of the Europeans is critical, owing to the open hostility of the natives and native offi- cials. If an outbreak occurs, the native ofiicials will be unable to cope with the mob. Fu Kien province is said to be in a state of rebellion, and the American mis- sion at Fung—Fuk, in that province, has been burned. The Europeans and Amer- icans have telegraphed for gunboats to protect the foreign settlement. ’ A Premedltated Massacre. HONGKONG, Aug. 7.—‘In an interview today with some of the survivors of the Ku-Chang missionary massacre they do- clared‘ that the outrage was evidently a premeditated and carefully arranged at- tack, entirely unprovoked. It was made upon the occupants of the missionary sta- tion while they were asleep. The bodies of the victims were buried at Fuehau. There are rumors of further riots at places nearer to Fuchau than Ku—Chang. This district includes the stations of the Church of England, at Zenana; the Amer- ican Methodists’. stations, at Fukhiem, Fuhning, Layong, Ningtaik, Hokchiang and Hinghwa. Rev. Mr. Stewart’s Premonition. LONDON, Aug. 7.—The last letter, dated April 8, from the murdered English mis- sionary, the Rev. Mr. Stewart, has been received in London and describes the crit- ical situation of affairs at Ku-Chang. Mr. Stewart wrote: . ' ”Ten days ago we were awakened at 4 o’clock in the morning bya native clergy- : man, who crossed the river in order to bring us the startling news that the Vege- tarian rebels were expected at daylight to storm Ku-Chang. The gateways of the city were being blocked with timber and , stone in order to prevent their entry. We passed a terrible time of suspense until daybreak, when torrents of rain fell, and the Vegetarians, not liking the rain, post- poned the attack. ' Citizens on Guard. “All the mission party started to get in- side .of Ku-Chang. The male and female stafi's, in the morning. after crossing the river in small parties in a. boat, reach‘ ed Ku~Chang wall, which was blocked' and had to be sealed with ladders. During the three following days bodies of citizens guarded the walls arined with prongs and rusty swords. On the fourth day the gates were opened and the mandarin in com- mand conferred with the Vegetarian lead- ers. Nobody believes We have seen the end of this matter. Such a serious affair cannot be so easily patched up and is probably only begun.” Mr. Stewart’s letter concludes: “All the women and children, on the advice of the American and British consuls, will .be sent to the coast. The opinion prevails that if the Japo-Chinese treaty is arranged, sol- diers will be sent from Fuchau to arrest the leaders of the rebels, but if it is not arranged, then the Vegetarians will in- crease sufficiently to make the rising a success.” The officials of the foreign office have cabled instructions to the British minister at Peking, Mr. N. R. O’Conor, to demand the safety of all British. subjects in the disturbed districts and to insist upon a full inquiry into the massacre. Mr. O’Conor has been ordered to see that the culprits are punished and that an independent inquiry be made into the Ku-Chang massacre by a British consular c‘curt. lire Englishmen Responsible? NEW YORK, Aug. 7 —At the headquar- ' ters of the Methodist board of foreign mis- sions Dr. Leonard said that the conduct of many Englishmen, of whom there are a » great many in China, had much to do with the trouble met with by missionaries there. Some of the Englishmen, Dr. Leon- ard asserted, live there in open sin, and from them the Chinese in many cases form an opinion of the foreign Christian. Such Englishmen live principally on the coast, but their reputations have spread far into the interior. The Chinese cannot. distin- guish, as a rule, betWeen a good and a bad Christian, and as the majority of them there are bad, a false opinion is entertain- ed of the missionaries. At the headquar- ters of the Presbyterian, Baptist and 3 Methodist missions no further news from China was received today. Cholera In RussiuTn Podolia. VIENNA, Aug. 7 .—A dispatch from Tarnopol states that cholera is raging in Russian Podolia. :The inhabitants resist- ed tho erection of temporary hospitals for the accommodation of .the sufferers from the disease and began rioting, and it was found necessary to call out troops.

A Cannon Fired Into a Car Filled \Vith Ohio militiamen. SPRINGFIELD, 0., Aug 7.——A cannon ball fired from a_ Knights of Pythias ex- cursion train struck a passing train, car- rying the Third regiment, Ohio national guard, Colonel Charles S. Anthony com- of a number of the soldiers. The regiment had been in camp for the past week at Johnson’s island, near San- dusky, and were returning to their homes on a special train. It was also the day for the Knights of Pythias of Springfield and Dayton to open camp at Sandusky. The latter had a small cannon in the bag- gage car of their train and were firing sa- lutes as they went along. One of these salutes was fired just as the regimental train was passing at Bellefontaine,‘ and 'the full charge of the cannon was deliver- ed right in the faces of the carful of sol- diers, who had the windows open. To make matters worse, the car was filled with the suffocating smoke of the powder. With powder burning some, blood flowing from the wounds of others who had been struck by the heavy wadding, the scene was one of great confusion. The hospital'corps of the regiment was at once called into service. Three men were found badly out about the head, two little boys, “mascots, ” had their faces shot full of powder, two soldiers were made deaf, and another will lose his eye- sight. One man was sitting with his face between his hands, looking out of the win- dow, and received the full charge in the face. About 20 more had their faces part- ly filled with powder. The injured men were taken care of at Dayton. Burlington Road Going \Vcst. SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 7.-—A special from Starbuck, Wash, says: The Bur- lington railway is coming west, and there are reasons for the belief that it is coming in a hurry.

Bondholders Alarmed. SAN FRANCISCO,’ Aug. 7.—.—Holders of California bonds-of all classes are alarmed at the recent decision of Judge Ross of Los Angclcs, declaring the Bright irriga- tion law unconstitutional.

TURKEY’S MISGOVERNMENT. Mr. Gladstone Thinks the Ports Unfit to Rule and Europe Should Take Charge of Armenia. Under Certain Restrictions. CHESTER, England, Aug. 7.—The town hall was packed with people today, the audience including numbers of Armeni- ans, in anticipation of hearing the long looked forward to speech of Mr. Gladstone upon the Armenian question. Among those present were the bishop of Ripon and Messrs. D. R. Clifl’ord and Robert T. Pain of the American Peace society. The au- dience rose with vociferous cheering when Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, the Duke of Westminster, the bishop of Chester and the mayor of Chester entered the hall. The distinguished visitors were conducted to seats on the platform, and the cheering did not subside until the Duke of West- minster, the chairman of the meeting, rose to speak. The duke, after a few open— ing remarks, read a letter from the Mar- quis of Salisbury, the new premier, noti- fying the duke that the sum of £1,000, which had been subscribed for the relief of the Armenians, had been forwarded to the British embassador at Constantinople. Sir Philip H. W.- Currie, who had been given full discretion as. to the manner in which the money was to be distributed. After the usual preliminaries of such a meeting had been concluded, Mr. Glad- stone roscamid an outburst of enthusias- tic applause, and addressing the audience said that the Armenian question was not a party matter or a religions affair. Con- tinuing, the great English statesman said that the present situation in Armenia re- sulted from intolerably bad government—— perhaps the worst on the face of the earth. A Significant Resolution. Mr. Gladstone then read a resolution to the effect that the meeting expresses its conviction that her majesty’s government will have the cordialsupport of the entire nation without distinction of party in any measures it may adopt in order to secure for the Armenians such reforms in the administration of the province as to pro- vide effective guarantees for the safety of life, honor, religion and property, and that no reforms can be effected without the continuous control of the European pow- ers. Mr. Gladstone then said that the reso- lution was a moderate one and expressed not only his own sentiments, but those of their transatlantic brethren, who felt even more strongly than (lid those present that the dispassionate inquiry which was made after the Sassbun massacre showed that the powers of language did not suffice to describe the statements which made the blood run cold. The inquiry, he continued, had verified all the sickening details not only of Eu- ropean,.but of American testimony, which was doubly entitled to credence, as Amer- ica, politically, had no interest in the Levant. This testimony, said Mr. Gladstone with great energy, summed up into four words was: “Plunder! Murder! Rape! Torture!” , But, added Mr. Gladstone, plunder and murder were the comparatively mild side of the work of the ravishcr and torturer. “ This is not the work of the dangerous classes,” continued Mr. Gladstone, “but ' of the government of Constantinople and its agents, and there is not one of their deeds for which the government is not re- sponsible. The Kurds, troops, police and tax collectors entered into deadly compo. tit-ion as to which should prove the most adopt in this horrible, infernal work. But, guiltier than they are the higher officers of the government. It is not true that the acts of the Turks were reprisals upon the Armenians for rebelling. On the con- trary, the Turkish government disarmed the Armenians and then turned out upon them the barbarians and villains mas. qucrading as men. Familiar Turkish “’capons. “If there were the slightest foundations for hopes of better government, the Con- stantinople authorities would have been eager to discover and punish the perpe- trators of these outrages, but the govern- ' Inent only met the allegations made against it with denial and falsehood— ' Weapons familiar to the Turks. “The treaty of 1878 bound the sultan to carry out reforms and gave England the power to redress wrongs. He has made three propositions that our demands be moderated. But we must not acce t Turk- ish promises. We must not fear he word ‘eoercion.’ It is a word which is heartily appreciated at Constantinople.” In conclusion Mr. Gladstone said: “We are sensible as to what is due our honor. We must interposc to demand no more. than what is just, but we must demand as much as is necessary and determine that this be accomplished, whether it is met with resistance or not.” > The resolution read by Mr. Gladstone was then carried. Poor, \Vretched Armenians. LONDON, Aug. 7.——The Daily News has advices dated Armenia, July 29, which Say: “ The condition of the Armenians is wprse than ever. They regard Shakir Pasha as their worst enemy and his ap- pointment as a contemptuous defiance of Europe’s demand. Deliberate persecu- tion, slaughter and pillage of the Armeni- ans are kept up.” ' no Took Lauuanum. , WHITE PLAINS, N.
