The Hlengkong blot.
Full reports of riots in Hongkonp,
which began September 30 and lasted
three days, show less serious than re-
ported. The trouble began through the
refusal of Chinese merchants to hello
load French merchant vessels. They
were taken to the police court and
fined IS each. They attempted
10 resist by force. Sixty rioters
we're arrested and one shot dead, whom
all tied into Chinese terr,tory. This
ended the riot.
Chinese 0utrages ON Foreign Resi-.
dents.
HoNaKoNa, Nov. 9.-Chinese mobs
have been committing fearful outrages
on places Of Christian worship and per
sons at Canton and interior points. In
the province of kwang Trng alone four
Roman Catholic and five Protestant
churches we're destroyed aud 10 houses
Of resident Christians looted and the |
occupants driven away. In Eamhoi
three Catholic chapeis aud convent
houses were pillaged, the priests and oc-
cupaRts beaten and the women cut
ragged. At Shihung the Church of En- |
gland chapel was destroyed. They tore
the clothes from the preachers wife |
and shamefuIly treated her. At Chant
sun the Wesleyan chapel was destroyed. |
The Christians are fleeing from the pro
vince TO HonQkong. The Chinese gave
them the alternative of sacrificing to |
the idols or leave their homes. They
preferred the latter. Many of the wo
men were caught by the mob and out
issued notices that all Christians must |
leave. Fifteen churches in those vii |
lagos have already been destroyed, sew
eral stores looted, and many persons are
homeless. Although the attention Of |
the Chinese authorities has heen called |
10 these barbarous acts they refuse to
notice them. At kiteyung a mob and
some soldiers destroyed the Roman
Catholic, English and Presbyterian
churches. At Swallow the Roman Cath |
clio priests were ordered to leave. After
they had left. Chinese soldiers broke
into the houses and ravished the female
verts. News has reached Shanghai
from Pekin that Mr.. Bagnall, a colpor-
tsur Of the American Bible Society, has |
been murdered in the province Of shan
