when business waspractically suspended in the
town and when the streets were thronged
with idlers. The quarrel of the boys was as
sumed by the men, and a general tight en-
sued. A Chinaman was knocked down oy
the police. and the report was current that
be was killed. Immediately the enraged mob
attacked and burned the police stations The
roadway was thronged with 10000 rioters,
who surged toward the United States and
British consuates.

soldiers from the ne:ghboring barracks ap-
peared upon the scene. but their appearance
served only to excite the deriSion of the mob.
