There Ia no doubt that the Christian mis-
sionaries In some OF the cities Of eastern
China have recently been subjected to attacks
BY Chinese rioters, who are determined to
drive away all foreign devils;" and yet those
attacks have been but few In number. Those
OF our readers who have closely examined the
dispatches sent here from China within the
past two months have doubtless noticed that
the report Of single riot has been repeated
several times with variations, and that ;here
may have been an interval OF several weeks
Letwsen each OF tho sucressivc reports. From
this fact some people may have believed that

Fleeing From Cruel Masters-AlmOst
Dead When Rescued.
It has been known for months that in
spite of the precautions taken by European
Governments to stop the export slaye-trade
on the east coast of Africa, the Arabs have
found means of carrying on the trade sur
reptitioasly, says the New York Sun. The
volume OF the trade has been greatly re-
duced, but il still exists, and with the pres
ent inadequate provisions against il there
is no reason why it should not thrive indef-
initely.
A very re arkable story has Just reached
the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Soci-
ETY.. On April 9Th last ten wretched negroes
were landed at the port Of Kurrschee. at
the mouth Of the Indus River, in British
India. There were five boys and five girls
IN the party, and they had had a most
beaTtrending experience. About a year
before they had been shipped from the
neighboThOOd of Zanzibar, with about 100
other slaves, by Arabs who had brought
them from the far interior OF Africa. They
were slowed away on dhOw, which then
cOasted along the southern part of Arabia
dispOsing of the slaves at various places
where a ready market was found for them.
The ten slaves with which this story Is con-
nected were sold at a place called Sur, in
the Gulf Of Oman.
The people who purchased them treated
them with great cruelty, and, at last decid-
ing that they preferred death to sach abuse.
the slaves conspired to run away. They
found near the shore a small boat,
in which the poor boys and girls
got under cover of darkness, and without
food or water they set sail into the unknown
Indian Ocean. 1t happened that small
package IF dates was at the bottom OF

Mr. Burk WAS never sick, and never, from

SEWAGE AND LIGHTS.
Things Demanded by the Sixteenth
Street Club.

Things Demanded by the Sixteenth
Street Club.
a meeting of the Sixteenth-street In
prOvement Club was held in Champion Hall
last evening, j. II. Bartlett presiding and C.
ID. Sykes acting as secretary. Considerable
discussion took place on a proposition to
petition the Supervisors to change the grade
of Sixteenth street, from Folsom to YER
mont.
An objection TO the proposed alteration
was made by Mr. Tyce, who stated that he
owned 200 front feet on Sixteenth street,
which would have to be cut down fourteen
feet through rock. The expense he would
be put TO would constitute conf scati0n.
The universal sentiment OF the club
seemed to be in favor of the change of
grade, and il was said that a member would
be willing TO meet Mr.. Tyce's objection by
buying his property. Eventually John L.
Dare, George Center and Z. W. Harris were
appointed committee to petition the Su-
pervlsOrs TO make the change of grade.
The question OF the proposed location OF
the Pound on Sixteenth street was raised by
Mir, Iyce, who read protest 10 the Super
vis0TS which he had drawn up on the sub
ject After MeSsrs Dare and George and
the Pound being moved into the district
committee of SiX-MeSsTs. j. A. Allen,
Grimm, Tyce, George Center and DR.. Har-
riS-waS appointed to interest the property
owners along Sixteenth street against the
proposed location Of the Pound and in favor
OF the extension OF the existing Pound
limits.
Mr.. Dare then urged the necessity of the
construction of the MiSSiOn-street sewer
from Fourth to Ninth streets. There is at
present, Mr.. Dare stated, no outlet for the
sewerage system of the district. Either the
Channel street or the Brannan-Street sewer
should . put in order
On motion Of Mr.. Dare the committee
whic.! had the Pound matter in charge was
Instructed to petition the Supervisors to
make an appropriation out of the next tax
levy for the repair Of the sewers.
The annoyance OceaSinned by the present
chaotic system of numbering Sixteenth
street was brought up by John Center, and
c. II. Sykes, John /. Dare and George Cen
ter were appointed a committee to ask the
Supervisors to renumber Sixteenth street,
from the bay up, and to change the name of
Center street to Sixteenth.
The President WAS instructed 10 appoint
a committee Of prOperty-owners to petition
the Supervisors for street lights on Six
teenth, between Dolores and Hardy, and
the meeting adjourned.

the ball over the right-feld fence, but the

hard hit. Cahill couldn't catch anything
