WAsnrNoToN, D, c., March 1O.-The
leading applicants for tho Internal Rev.
enue ColIcctonhip for West Virginia
are Thomas W, Fleming, Of Fairmont,
s. p. Mccormick, Of Kingwood, aud
Gen. |. II, Duval, a former occupant OF
the office. All the applicants are well
inIorsed by business men and politicians
oi the state. The term Of Mr.. McGraw,
Inc present incumbent, will expire In q
lew weeks and his successor will be
named Immediately. An agreeable fea-
ture Of the contest for offices among
West Virjnians is that it Is entirely
free from the bitterness such as charRc-
terized the Democratic fight for patron
ace four years ago, and whatever the re-
suit it il certain there will DO no ILL.,
feeling growing out OF the tussle. 1t is
said by leading West Virginia Republic

appreciate thoroughly the fact that the
federal patronage is to- be distributed
with the greatest regard for fairness and
the efficiency Of the public service.
Their rexperiCnces Ofthe past six months
have thoroughly Cemeuted them and
they are determined to remain united
iOrthe common cause. They know that
there must be disappointments and
those who are doomed to be bear them
will not kick. West Virginia Republi-
cans are not OF the kicking quality.

The trouble began, II is claimed, in a
street row in which Chinaman was
knocked down by policeman, This
excited the mob and their first act was
10 destroy the police station, Then
they made for the British Consulate,
where a Chinese Inspector, who has not
since been seen, is believed to have
taken refuge. On the way they fred
three foreign houses. The Chinese
General in command sent 800 men to
protect the Consulate.
AS soon as tho mob appeared tho SOL
diers capitulated. Some fled and the
rest Joined the mob. The Consul's wife
fled barefoot with her children from the
back door OF the Consulate, while the
mob, aided by tho soldiers, sacked and
burned everything. The missionaries
houses and a chapel nearly shared the
same fate, while the British Consul him.
self was twice In imminent danger OF
death,
OUR CONSULATE LOOTED.
The American Consulate was looted
aud more houses were burned. The resi-
dents took refuge on hulks and the mob
tried to follow them, but the bridges
were raised. The Vlceroy telegraphed
the British Consul that he was sending
1000 soldiers TO restore order.
The foreign residents who fled to the
hulks stationed in the river subsequently,
went on board a merchant steamer aud
were taken to Shanghai. One foreigner
Is reported missing. General Jones,
the American Consul, and British Con-
sui Mansfield, remained at Chinkiang
under the protection OF British gun
boat, but sent their families TO Shanghai.
Among the foreign buildings burned
were a British Consulate, the British
Marshal's house, the Baptist Chapel and
the houses OF two missionaries, a Rev.
Mr., Hunnex and Rev. Mr.. Bryant. The
United States Consulate and the Metho-
dist Chapel were not burned.
RUNNING FoR LIFE.
The wife OF the American Consul had
to run for her life, accompanied by her
children, being pursued to the river by
the rioters. The riot broke out again on
Wednesday afternoon. When Genera
Kennedy reached Chinkiang he had the
United States flag raised at the American
Consulate. The British ship Mutine ar.
rived on Thursday and fired a salute to
the British Flag, Within five minutes
after the firing Of the first guns, the Chi
nese in the settlement had fled in all di-
reCtions.
