CHINESE RIOTS.

Revolution Now Imminent in Guatemala.
Manufacturing in California-Back
From Mount St. Elias.

Max Goebel, who represents the Belgian
Government as Consul General at ShaDg-
hal, China, is at the Occidental on his way
to his post of duty after six months leave
of absence. The recent disturbances have
occurred during his absence from his post
Of duty, but he is familiar with the course
of events in the Flowery Kingdo m.
"As matter OF fact" said he. 1.-THE mis-
sionaries are not unpopular among the Chi
nese. On the contrary they are held in the
greatest respect by the most Jealous Budd-
hists and MOhammedans. Recently there
was riot in Wuhu in which a missionary
and a Custom house officer lost their lives,
but fanaticism did not enter into the affair
in any way. l have been told that the real
facts are as follows:
"The missionary had been told that at a
certain notorious resort number of babies
had been offered for sale, and in order to
save them from worse fate he determined
to buy them, notwithstanding the fact that
his was against the law In China, you
know, these luck less infants are purchased
for the baSest purposes, both male and fe-
male, and for that reason the sentiment is
strong against the traffic. The missionary's
intentions were good, no doubt, but he for
got the feeling and hence the loss of his life.
He went 10 the establishment | am told,
bought out the entire stock, and had them
eluueu Will OpIulH W pIeftuI LuelI udhluB
any outcry. Then he Jammed them into a
basket and carried them away. One of the
babies, however, recovered before the mis-
sion was reached and q crowd collected. The
result was a riot in which the missionary
lost his life as did also the customs collector.
This was the worst of the anti missionary
riots.
$50 far as the ant-foreign feeling is con-
cerned il IS probably stronger against the
Government than against the Europeans.
At the present moment the Chinese Gov
ernment is as foreign to the people as when
the Manchu Tartars conquered the empire
300 years ago. AS a consequence the term
foreign devils is applied to the Uffi;
five times as often as TO the Europeans or
Americans. 1t is at the foreign devils who
reign that the greatest indignation is ex-
pressed, and the Government realizes the
danger. This feeling, l imagine. cannot
last forever, and the riots will continue, no
doubt, to spread.
"In the mean time the foreign residents
are under the protection Of the Diplomatic
CORPS, and will probably suffer but little."

kcvolutIon impending.

E. NJ. Hand, mining man from San
BentO, Mexico, arrived here yesterday on
the City of New York and is at the Palace
The town from which he comes is on the
boundary line between Mexico ana Guate-
mala, and he is, therefore, cognizant of the
movement Of affairs in the latter country.
Things are sure to go to smash in Guate-
mala in a very short time" he saws, land
the crisis cannot be long delayed. The peo-
pie. have grown restive under the rule OF
Barllas, which is growing more dctatorial
and tyrannical every day, and a revolution
is almost a certainty. The condition of the
common people Is miserable in the extreme.
Their poverty has increased, and what little
has been Systematically wrested from them
by the greed OF the officials. As is natural,
they feel that any change would be a benefit
and are ripe for revolt. There is dsaffec-
tiOn, too, III the army OF long standing, 1t
grows out of the assassination of Barrun-
dia. The latter was War Minister under
President Barrios. and popular with officers
and men alike. BaFillas was Second Vice
President. The FIRST Vice-P President was a
timid merchant OF Guatemala City, who fled
the country when Barrios was assassinated.
Barillas was absent at the time Barrundia
was the choice of the army for the Presi-
dency, but, while attending BarrioS funeral
with the army, Barilas quietly entered the
capital with 500 followers, seized the ar senal
aud declared himself President. Bar rundia
was compelled to fly for his life.
THE circumstances of his death you
know. Ever since the army has been Itch
ing to avenge his murder, and my opinion is
that when Barillas endeavors to succeed
himself, as he is certain to do, there will be
revolution. They may attempt to conceal
the truth, but you will fnd 1 am right"

A. S. Barnard, representative Of the
Statistical Department OF the Federal Gov
ernment, who has been in this city for some
time employed in the task of collecting in
formation for the Senate Committee on FL
nance. left the Palace last night en- route to
Washington.
"My work is all complete" he said. before
taking his departure, ''and my report has al
ready gone to Washington. cannot say,
of course. just what have done, but l was
sorry to see that a nun Der of industries
that should be doing well here are languish-
ing badly. There is nothing worth speak
ing of being done in the manufacture of
textile fabrics. This is decidedly stran &c,
owing to the fact that this is great wool
producing State, and at the very door of
Austr ALA. | am inclined to think the
trouble due to the high cost o ( fuel and
water and the high rates of taxation nd in
tereSt rather to any difference in the cost of
labor between this State and New England.
] mention this merely as an illustration, and
it goes to show that until money, fuel,
water and taxes are cheaper California can
never take high rank as manufacturing
State. l have not, | will say, drawn any
comparisons in my report to the Senate
Committee, but have merely given the facts,
which will, OF necessity, speak for them

ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT.

FOr the r1GnL LnaL JACKS aSSlSt0nce.
 'Gainst the wrong that needs resistance,
 For the.future in.the distance,
 And the good that we can do.
 Four years ago Saturday these words, penned, by noble soul who at the twi- light of an honorable and eventful life could not tear himself away from the journalistic profession, ushered in the birth of the EVENING DEMOCRAT. There was no self-adulation; no vain-glorious boasting. The DEMOCRATS salutatory was simple definition. of it's principles and a promise to do what it believed to be right. A
 It has hewed close to the line, regard less of consequence. Perhaps at times it has erred; who has not? The aim of the publishers has been to make clean, wholesome family paper, containing all the news, without wicked sensational ism. The effort has been crowned with success. As a newspaper, in the true sense of the word, the DEMOCRAT stands in the front rank. In the local field especially it excels, almost daily pub fishing exclusive items of city news. As an advertising medium it has no equal in Waterbury. It reaches the buying classes, is progressive, ag- gressive, enterprising and quick to see a point. In a word, it is the peoples paper.
 In politics the DEMOCRAT has always been faithful to the great principles laid down by the fathers of the democratic party. The handsome majority which It helped to raise for Grover Cleveland in 1888, and which saved Connecticut to the democrats, is it's monument. In To- cal political affairs the DEMOCRAT has on several occasions found it necessary to rebuke men in whose hands the party's welfare has rested. For doing this perhaps we have made a few ene- mics. And yet their enmity has helped to make the DEMOCRAT a success, para doxical as it may seem. For every enemy represents principle upheld at the cost of someone's friendship, and strict adherence to principle, and fear less denunciatlon of wrong, have given the DEMOCRAT a prestige enjoyed by few newsps pers of such tender age.
 In presenting ourselves to the con tinued patronage and good will of the people of Waterbury and vicinity we dc it with the determination of making the DEMOCRAT the leading paper of the | valley.

Dissatisfied Bremen.

Simpson hook and ladder company and Hubbard hose company of Walling- ford have voted to disband. It is the business of the borough officials to make appointments of officers in the fire de- partment, but out of courtesy to the de- partment the latter has been allowed to nominate the chief and two assistants. Then the names are handed in to the borough officers for their approval ol disapproval. These nominations have been generally ratified in the past. In the election last week, however, the borough officials disregarded the pre- ference of the fire laddies, making inde pendent appointments. The members of the department think they have beer snubbed and have voted to disband.

ECHOES FROM THE ACCIDENT.
A Talk With Director Howard of the
 New England Road.

New England Road.
 For a long time the New England Railroad management has desired to double track the road throughout, and it has been said since the recent acci- dent that the directors might soon meet and begin active preparations for such work. Ex-Lieutenant-G Governor James L.. Howard, who is one of the directors, said, yesterday afternoon, that he knew nothing definite being done in that direction, although there had been con- siderable talk on the matter among the officials of the road.
 MT Howard said that he did not be- lieve that any passenger had been burned in the wreck at East Thompson Friday morning. He knew nothing officially about the accident, he said, and all the information he had was from the newspapers. He said the charge made by some of the New York papers yesterday that officers of the company had found traces of some one having been burned and had destroyed them, was evidently absurd. Such a thing would not be attempted, and even if it were it could not be success fully done. In the present case there were too many people about the scene of the accident for the company to at- tempt thing of that kind without the general public obtaining knowledge of it. Such an act by the company would be both criminal and foolish.
 The New York Sun of yesterday says it seems certain that E. H. Rath, New York real estate dealer, was on the train en route to Wayland, Mass, and that he has not since been heard of. It is suggested that he was burned in the wreck.
 The road has adopted a new arrange ment to handle it's large freight traffic. The west bound track from Manchester to Vernon is now stored with freight cars. All trains running between the two stations in either direction go on the east bound track. This necesitates the keeping of night operator at Man. chester station and all trains stop there for orders.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A Young Girl in Southtngton Fatally

A Young Girl in SOuthingtOn Fatally
 Burned.
 Emma Rickenbuker, domestic, aged 16 years, in the employ of Mrs Walter H. Neal of Southington, was fatally burned yesterday. The girl was in the the fire in the parlor stove with poker. The iron became heated and she wrapped it up in her apron and started from the room. The apron was ignited by the hot poker, and this so frightened the girl that she rushed out doors screaming for help. The wind famed the flames and soon all her clothes were blazing. Her injuries will prove fatal.
 Dependency, said to be caused by drink and lack of work, caused John F. Meehan, a polisher, living at 205 James on Saturday evening. Dr Roberts was called early in the evening to attend Meehan, who had taken large dose of Paris green. The doctor at once ordered the man taken to the hospital, where he died at 1915 o'clock yesterday after noon. He leaves a wife and several children.
 Theodore c. Naedle, the gunsmith, of the firm of Andris & Naedle, of Hart ford, who shot himself accidentally while repairing a reRplver last Thurs day, died at his home tyesterday after noon.
 While on pile of stones which had been erected as a guide to the channel leading to Stratford harbor last Friday, Michael W. Mahoney and Charles c. White of Bridgeport saw sailboat con- taining two men turned over. The men disappeared when the capsize occurred and the boat was seen to dis appear out on the sound with no signs of life about it. The men on the rock, who had taken refuge there on account of the ferceness of the storm, did not dare to leave until they had been there six hours. Another boat they saw cap sized was occupied by man who was rescued by men on a naphtha launch, who put out to his rescue.
 A cutting affray in Reids hotel at Middletown Saturday night, at first supposed to be a murder, caused con- siderable excitement. A young woman giving her name as Nellie Nichols, from Hartford, was slashed across the neck with a razor in the hands of Jerry Mahoney, an ex-prize fighter. The quarrel occurred in the hotel parlor. A doctor was called to dress the wound, which was found to be two inches long, but not very deep. Jealousy was the cause.
 An endowment order called the "Ad- vance" which has collapsed was repre- sented in Stonington and many people who had been enveigled into it by prom ises of $100 at the end of the year for $50 paid in, have lost what money they paid.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Jennings and Taylor Will Not Play in
 New York.
 After Roger Connor and Danny Richardson signed with the Athletics the New York managers sent out the report that their places would be filled by Jennings and Taylor of the Louis villes, two good men. Now both of these men announce that they have not signed with the New Works and do not intend to. When the statements of Taylor and Jennings were shown to the directors of the New York club they acknowledged that neither of the men had signed contracts, but had promised to play in New York in case the Louis vile club disbanded before the opening of next season. In other words, the New York management has placed the two young players in false position before the public.

Another Chinese Leper.

PEORIA, III, Dec 7.-The health au- thorities of this town are considerably worked up over the fact that Chinese laundryman named Sun Hong, a vic- tim of leprosy. worked in laundry in Main street, for three months after he had the terrible disease in an ad- vanced stage. The Chinaman is supposed to have taken a train for Chicago on Saturday and the authorities of that city have been notified. Hundreds of peo- pie must have been exposed to contag- ion while the leper was in this city and consequently there is much uneasiness.
