How the Trouble Originated.-Con-
sulates Looted.
The steamship Belgic at San francisco
from Hong Kong and Yokohama brings the
first detailed advices OF the recent anti
European riots at Chinkiang. Chinldang is
ruin. The trouble began, 1t is said, in a
street row, in which Chinese was knocked
down by policeman. This excited the mob,
and their first act was to 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 fired three
foreign houses.
The American consulate was looted and
more hou es were burned. The residents
took refuge on hulks and the mob tried to
follow them, but the connecting bridges were
raised. The viceroy telegraphed to the Brit
ish consul that he was sending 1000 soldiers
to restore peace. The United States steam
ship Omaha has been recalled from Corea,

friends of Ray informed him that all
was not right between the medical man
and his wife.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday morn

at Mann's residence and inquired If his
wife was there. The doetor, evidently
thinking that Ray knew his wife was
within, put the woman, who was accom-
panied by her little girl, out of the door
Ray being infuriated by the sight of his

violent blow in the mouth.
Mann here interfered, and with black
