MIR. DENLY says thesa outrages are the out
come Of the persecution Ct the Chinese in the
United States. A weli-known official OF the
state department Friday sail that the fact
that the lives and property OF American mis-
sionarieS in that country are in danger Is an
entirely logical sequence to the failure OF the
house Of representatives 10 take action on the
bill unanimously reported by the foreign
affairs committee, recommended by the pres
ident in a special message, aud strongly
urged upon the consideration of the house by
the secretary Of state. In the closing days of
the session Minister DENLY repprte>l to tho
state department his fear that, notwithstand-
ing the presence Of the United States Inen-of
war in Chinese waters, sent there on the re-
QUESTION of the state department, something
serions would occur if congress adjourned
without taking action on the Wyoming in
dennity resolution, and the purport of this
dispatch was confidently communicated by
Mr.. Belmont, chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee, to the leading members OF the
house, but the session was allowed 10 end
without action.
Advices received at the state department
from Consu, Seymour, at Canton state that
the Chinese ara running the navigable chan
nelS of the river AZ that place, with stone and
pile distractions. These distractions, Consul
Seymour says, are put in the river despite
the protests of the American British, French
