IerarIIng the Cost of Producing Manu-.
Efcturcd ArticICs-Tho Committees
Work.
Dos7ox, Aug. SO.-For several days,
Carlisle and A!drich, with Secretary
Drriee, OF the Subcommittee of the
United States Senate fiscal committee,
have been hearing testimony at the
Hotel vendome from leading manu-
iarlnrers in the vicinity regarding the
cost Of producing the various commodit-
ics with which they are identified. The
shoe industry OF Massachusetts has oc.
cupied good share Of their attention,
Is has also the manufacturers OF
wOOlens. 1t is the intention to take up
every article Of general consumption
and put it through an analyzing course
!F0m the shop or the field to the con-
sumer.
Said Senator Carlisle yesterday:-
There appears to be belief that we
are in some way attempting to gather
material simply to show what effect the
Mckinley bill has had upon the values
and wages since ii went into operation.
Now, this is entirely erroneous. Our
work comprehends the whole range OF
tariG legislation, both in this and for
cigR countries, and We go as far back in
our research us practicable, gathering
all the facts that manufacture, transpor-
tation, wages, etc, comprehend, and mp
plying them in the final determination
IN a way that shall show to us what In
lIueaCe they have had in increasing the
value OF necessary commodities. We
have before US many eminent econo-
mists, and have obtained an enormous
mass OF statistical matter that will have
It's proper place in our final report.
With regard to wages, we have an
agent at work gathering statistics, and
he Is making u satisfactory degree Of
progress"
In reply to a question Mr.. Carlisle
stated that it has been found that the
discrepancy between the manufacture
crs price and that paid blythe consumer
+ abnormally large in the matter of
boots and shoes.

THE CHINESE RIOTS,
Not Caused by Religious Prejudice but
by Political Trouble.

by Political Trouble.
New YoRx, Aug. SO.-The Methodist
Episcopal Missionary Society has re-
ceived a letter from Superintendent
Stevens, of the mission at Nanking, in
Central China, in which he says: 1--WE
have had troublous times in Central
China. Anti-foreign riots have occurred
in twenty cities. Several hundred
thousand dollars worth OF property has
been destroyed, two Europeans, one
Wesleyan missionary, one English
customs officers and several native
Christians have been killed. The
Roman catholics have been the princi-
pal sufferers. Demonstrations OF more
or less violence have been made at all
our mission stations. We have lost no
lives and very little damage has been
done to any OF our property. AT Nam
king all the women and children were
sent away to Shanghai on steamers.
They are now returning, and all seems
quiet here.
"These riots are not anti-Christian,
for in many instances demonstrations
have been made as much against CHI
nese officials and foreigners engaged in
business as against missionaries.
There are various theories concerning
the cause Of these riots and the eyi-
dent uncasiness Of the people. The
most plausible one is that the people
are stirred up by secret political in
trigues to destroy foreign property
and annoy foreigners for the purpose OF
involving the government with foreign
powers, in order to make rebellion easy,
overthrow the present Tartar dynasty
and inaugurate n purely Chinese gov
ernmont. The officials are making Wig.
orous efforts to apprehend members Of
what is known as the Ko Lon Hin old
brotherhood), Il secret society which
had its origin during the Tai Ping re-
bellion.
The Chinese are, and have been for
some time, restless under Tartar rule.
The present abominable squeeze system
and rottenness in government affairs
and consequent drain upon the Indus
tries OF the country do not add much
to the contentment OF the people and
the security OF the empire. The great
and a the persecution Of Catho-
lies, which the Chinese regard as
a French institution in most places,
gives color TO the above theory. The
late unpleasantness between France and
China, and the uncertain issue OF 1t
from Chinese standpoint, naturally
lead the people to believe that it would
not be difficult TO raise row with
France. Everything seems peaceful
along the river ut present, but disturb
ing rumors continue to come in from
the interior, where the infection is
spreadiup,"
