TROUBLE IN CHINA.
Three Drunken Am orleans Bring q
Storm about the Ears of Foreign
aFa.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-From a late
copy of the Shanghai Mercury, received per
the steamer City of Pekiug, It is learned
that very serious trouble has arisen at Ming
10, China, and the foreign community
Is placed In a position of peril. On the
night Of June 18th three Americans and an
Austrian went ashore on spree. The
Americans were all Captains OF lor-
chas, and the Austrian was attached
to the revenue cutter Kuansing,
then lying in the port. The men went To a
Chinese brothel and demanded admittance.
which, for some reason, was denied. While
knocking at the door some Canton seamen
appeared at an upper window, and, whether
by accident or Intentionally, perpetrated
an indignity upon the visitors. This so
enraged the men that they kicked open the
door, and, entering the building, assaulted a
Chinaman who was lying in bed in
most brutal manner, splitting open his head
and breaking several of his ribs This man
was entirely innocent OF the otfense, and
proved to be the Captain Of eleven war
junks then at Ming Pc.
After the assault the men escaped. but
were recaptured on the following day. and
after investigation before the American Con.
sui all were committed to jail. The Austrian
was subsequently discharged, it being shown
that he tried to prevent the outrage.
The wounded man, who also proves to be
a cousin of Titaior Admirals, is in critical
condition. Should he die there is no know
ing what the crews of the war hunks
may do In retaliation. Indeed,
general riot will probably follow.
The chief Of police is very
anxious as to the safety of the European
residents, and the acting Vice Consul for
Germany has asked this German Consul at
Shanghai for gunboat to protect foreign
residents In the event OF an uprising.

hICHMOND, VA, July 22.-The Board OF

6oy vote of two to one, gave the contract
Tor engraving and printing the bonds for
refunding the State debt to the American
Bank Note Company. The reason alleged
for the canceling of the contract with the
Kendall Company is that this engraving
concern was unable to obtain proofs
from the New York Stock Ex-
change that this issue of bonds
would be admitted to the dealings of the
Exchange. The service on their part was
entirely voluntary, and not in any way
mentioned by their contract, and was per-
formed without consideration. Their fail
ure in this detail has been made the excuse
for annulling the contract, and giving It to
the American Bank Note Company. The
Kendall Company are on the ground, and
intend to fight in the courts for their rights.
