RIOTS IN CANTON.
Property of Europeans Destroyed
Foreigners Take Refuge OH Ships.

A dispatch from Hong Kong states that a
Chinese mol at Canton burned the houses OF
several European merchants, and also their
wharves, causing great CONSERVATION among
the foreign residents, most of whom sought
refuge on board vessels in the river. No vio-
lence was offered to persons, and q force of
Chinese troops was called out, which quickl
dispersed the rioters. On the receipt of tn
intelligence at Hong Kong several gunboats
were Immediately sent to Canton to afford
protection to the foreign merchants. The
gunboats were followed by the dispatch Of
two war teamers 1t is said the riot was
caused by a number of Portuguese sailors
killing O Chinaman in an affray.
The authorities of Canton We're slow in re-
pressing the disorder. Although order was
restored there great excitement prevailed
among all classes. Much indignation is ex-
pressed at the absence of men-of-war to pro-
tect the European residents.
During the riot the mob threw the contents
of the buildings which they attacked upon
the wharves and looted them. The riot
lasted several hours, and order was not re-
stored until the arrival of the Chinese troops.
The natives were so excited against foreign
ers that a renewal of the disturbance was ex-
pected.
a Hong Kong correspondent says that the
foreign consuls at Canton hauled down their
flags during the rioting.

A SANGUINARY ARRAY.
Terrible Contest Among Eight Cow
boys in a Colorado Cabin.

The details of a sanguinary affray at the
McLain ranch in Ebert county on Sunday
night, in which eight cowboys were engaged,
have just reached here, says a Denver dis
patch. Sunday they all went to Agate
station, on the Kansas Pacific read, and fall
ing in with companions, opened the festivities
with drinks. Then they rode to a n%eighbor-
ing ranch, where they obtained more liquor,
and started for home. On the way
two of their number, named Rossiter
and Mckeever, engaged in a dis
pute on a trivial matter, and all repaired
to the herders' quarters to settle the difficulty.
As soon as they were inside the men clinched
and both fell to the ground fighting desper.
ately. The table and benches were removed
and in an improvised ring the men beat and
tore at each other with the ferocity of tigers.
The onlookers in their excitement danced
about, brandishing their revolvers. While
the fight was at its highest the oil lamp was
knocked from its place, and the room was in
darkness. The men, now completely mad, ran
upon each other, and in a minute after the light
had been ~extinguished the melee was general.
The door was locked, and there being no
means of egress each man fought for him
self. Amid the resounding blows and curses
a pistol shot rang out, and the death cry of
the victim paralyzed whatever of reason was
left in the party. Almost before the cry had
left the lips of the unfortunate man, there
was a wild fusilade, and for a moment the
gloom was lighted. Rossiter was dead, two
men named Jones were weltering in their
blood, and three Others were wounded, one at
least fatally. Rollins and McKeever, the
only ones not injured, fled.
