eight hours, and there are now fully
1900 rioters in the streets. The trouble
has been growing for days. 1t was dis
covered a week ago that there were fully
5000 illegal names registered In this
city, and Immediately afterwards the
streets were filed with strangers Of the
worst character. Ever since the publ
cation Of the Morsy letter the Chinese
question has been the leading issue, and
the Democratic press has been filled
with articles asserting that II Garfield
should DO elected the State would be
flooded with Chinese and all white labor
driven out. On Saturday night the
Democrats had q large procession, car.
ryiug trapspsrepcies with inscriptions
and cartoons tending to excite animosity
against the Chinese. There were many
drunken men who remained out oil
night. This noon they made an assault
ON the Chinese houses. tearing them
down AMI beating and driving out the
Chinese. One was dragged from Hop
Lees place with q rope about his neck.
and his skull was crushed In with boots
aud bricks. The police were called out.
but were unable to control the mob.
Tho FIRE department was ordered 10
throw water on the rioters, but the mob
attacked them and badly wounded two
fr.meu. Many Cinnamon were fatally
beaten, and were rescued by the polics
and quickly taken to the Jail.
which was Immediately surrounded by a
mob Of about 1000. who yelled Lynch
the l.psr |" The special police managed
to keep back the crowds. The other
| mob remained intact in the lower part
Of the city. About dark they were
entirely beyond control. and marched
from street to street cutting Chinese
| houses wherever they saw them, and
%assaultipg citizens. On Lawrence street
from an isolated tenement a Chinamsn
was dragged out. his ears were cut OF
and he was otherwise muiilated. DE
was finally rescued in q dying condition,
| placed in a carriage aud driven toward
| the city Jail. At Sixteenth street an I'M
successiul .ffo.t was made to drag him
from the wagon. Several are reported
killed, but the condition Of the streets il
such that 1t is impossible at this hour to
get a definite report. Many colored men
were knocked down and beaten. Al
this hour the rioters are still on the
streets in full force. Special police have
been sworn in to the number OF 500.
| There is a great deal Of incendiarism TO-
night. and the FIRE department has been
ordered to be ready at the slightest
warning. Reports Of pistols are heard
all over town. and the military will b.
called out. Threats have been freely
made that the Tribune Office will be
sacked, but though the mob have been
bowling across the street from 1t nc
attack has been made as yet. The ciii'
Gems, irrespective Of party, IRE intensely
indignant. There IL q dangerous night
ahead. The Chinese population here
cannot exceed $50 all told, and from the
beginning OF this disgraceful riot not Q
single instance is reported OF any n oil

for action at a moments notice. The
report Of q Chinamau having his ears cut
OF ia q mistake, but several had their
queues cut of. All the saloons ars closed
with orders to remain 80 till after cleo
ton. The rioters Quilted every Chinese
house with one or two exceptions. Ont
| Cbinaman was hung up for q while ovt'
his front door and several badly beaten
and wounded with stones aud Other
missiles. In nearly every instance the
policemen rescued the Cinnamon through
The back doors while the mob were
forcing the front doors. Four or I'VE
rioters were slightly wounded. and ont
seriously, being shot in the side.
