LONDON, May s,-Sir James Kitson,
president of the Iron and Steel institute,
referring to his recent visit to the United
States, said in an address in this city
that the resources Of the United States
We're boundless, and that whether pro-
lection or free trade carried the day the
United States Were bound to become
great manufacturers of iron and steel,
Sir James Kitson added that though the
iron furnaces Of the United States were
producing larger quantities of iron than
are produced in the iron furnaces of
England, th"gc were compensations in
the latter country in economy and in
quality of material. Coal in the United
States, he said, was abundant and nc
cessible, and he warned both producers
and workingmen in England to pause in
their demands III view of the illimitable
resources of the United States.

PARIS, May S,-A dispatch from
Chill says; -Four congressional dele
gates have had an interview with Presi-

of the two sides coming to an under

Another dispatch says that President
Balmaceda has rejected the demands of
the insurgent delegates who have been
attempting to bring about some under
standing with him by which interneciue
strife might be terminated. The peace
negotiations are, therefore, completely
ruptured, and there appears no other
alternative than renewal of the desola-

so many months.
President Balmaceda has given notice

be effected at the rate of 10 per cent

CHINESE RIOTS.
Missionaries Murdered by The
Natives.

SAN FRANCISCO, July a3.-ISpecial +
Lieutenant Commander Marthou, of the
United States steamer Palos. writing
from kiang Kiang, China, to his wife,
In this city, under date of June IS, saws
that the Palos reached there June g..
Learning that riot had taken place at
Wusich the night before, he immedi-
ately proceeded up to the river to that
place, where he received information
from the Chinese customs clerk OF the
killing OF two men by rioters. Marthou
visited Stone, accompanied by guides
from Chinese gunboats, and found the
body of Missionary Argent lying where
he fell in the gateway at the door OF the
church, which had been pillaged by
rioters.
The body of Customs Officer Green was
found lying in the street several squares
distant. The body had been covered by
mats. Marthou requested permission
To take the bodies aboard the Palos, but
vas told that the inquest had not been
held. lie attended the inquest next
morning and describes the peculiar
method of Chinese officials in such mat
tiers, the inquest being devoted chiefly
to the beating of drums, explosion of
fire crackers and other ceremonies. The
cause OF the riot, he stated, was the fast
that missionary Argent had picked up
four little orphans in the country and
was conveying them 10 lIankow in the
usual fashion, in baskets borne on the
shoulders of coolies.
a street lounger asked one of the
coolies what was in the basket. The
bearer refusing to answer, the follow
raised the lid disclosing the children.
The crowd which had gathered raised a
cry that the missionary was taking the
children away TO dig their eyes out, and
forthwith attacked the church. killing
Argent and plundering the place Gus
toms officer Green was met by the mob
and killed while on his way to assist
the wives OF the Missionaries On tho
return Of the Palos from Wusich to
iNiang kiang, word was received of an
ATTEMPTED riot in that city.
Men were landed from the Palos, from
the French frigate Inconstant and from
German and. United States ships to pro
tect the settlements, but at the reque 81
OF the Chinese general, who informed the
respective consuls that he would pro-
tect the place, the sailors were with
drawn. No outbreaks followed, but the
American residents withdrew from the
city at Lieutenant Commander Mar
thou's suggestion. In closing this let.
ter he says the Chinese don't want re-
ligion, and that he has yet to meet the
first Christian Chinaman. Tho natives
appear to be troubled wherever the mis-
sionaries have been stationed, no matter
whether church, school or hospital is
located and there is also sort of gen
eral outbreak against foreigners.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July o3.-[Spe-
clalI-The miners meeting at Coal
Creek today to hear the com uittee's
plan OF compromise was attended bv
about every man in the valley. Speeches
were made by J. c. j. Williams, of this
city, candidate before the Democratic
convention for Congress, and one or two
miners General Williams urged a
compromise. The meeting lasted some
time and it was difficult for tie miners
to agree upon conclusion.
1t SHOULD be remembered that tho
governor says there had been no prop
osition made by him, but that of sus-
tanning the law. He was willing, how
ever for the citizens to see what could
be done to settle the difficulty as he is
q warm supporter OF labor, but at the
same time the executive Finally the
miners agreed on n course of action and
drew up resolutions containing a pro-
position TO the governor.
This proposition is that the troops
must be taken home from Knoxville.
The convicts can be returned to Coal
creek for sixty days only, and the lcgis-
iature to meet and repeal the convict
system. This, briefly, is the proposition
OF the miners, the official document now
being in the possession OF the committee
which is in conference with Governor
buchanan.
The committee arrived here at 6 %.
N. 1t was universally believed at Coal
Creek yesterday that the citizens,
proposition to the miners would be ac-
,,.l.
proceedings closely say it would have
been accepted but for what is termed
the revolutionary speech of Chancellor
Gibson yesterday evening.
CAN L. s. TROOPS BE CALLED or1rp
WASHINGTON. July 23.-TSpeciall-
Since the question has arisen OF send
ing United States troops to Tennessee,
should request be made for them bv
the governor of tho State, army officers
have been examining the legal side of
the question, and doubt is expressed if
troops will be sent If asked for.
Inc Constitution provides that tho
PRESIDENT may render necessary assist
ance with troops upon the application of
the legislature, or the executive of a
State when the legislature cannot be
convened. This is understood not to be-
the case in Tennessee at present.
Inc revised statues makes it the duty
OF the President TO take such measures
by the employment of the militia or
the land and naval forces or either or
by other means as he may deem neces-
sary for the suppression of domestic
violence, obstructing the laws Of the
United States or of State whom tend
ing to deprive the people OF the State
OF privileges granted By The constitu-
ton of the United States
1t is also held that the President has
large discriminating powers in acting
upon application for the troops and must
first satisfy himself upon ths legality of
demand as well as upon the points OF ne
cessity and equity. This makes it by
no means certain that if the applica-
ton is made it will be granted.
