NO USE FOR RELIGION.
THE CAUSE OF THE RECENT RIOTS
IN CHINA.
The Natives Do Not Take Kindly to Mis-
sionaries-An American Naval Officers
Account of the Trouble at Wusich
and Other Places.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-Lieutenant
Commander Marthon, of the U. S. S.
Palos, writing to his wife in this city
from Kiangking, China, under date of
June Sth, says the Palos reached there
June 9th. Learning that riot had
taken place at Wusich the night before,
lie Immediately proceeded up the river
to that place, where he received infor-
nation from the Chinese customs clerk
of the killing OF two men by the rioters.
Marthon visited the scene, accompanied
by guides from Chinese gun boats, 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 the rioters. The body of
Customs House Officer Green was found
lying in the street several squares dis
tant. The body had been covered by
mats. just beyond were the walls OF a
dwelling house, entirslN 5fH "naet pDvA
honse in thf,a9er q. ut burn.
Marthon requested permission to take
the bodies aboard the Palos, but was
told that the inquest had not been held.
He attended the inquest next morning,
and describes the peculiar methods OF
the Chinese officials in such matters,
the inquest being devoted chiefly to the
beating of drums, the explosion of fire.
crackers, and other ceremonies.
The cause of the riot, he states. was
the fact that Missionary Argent had
picked up four little orphans in the
country, and was conveying them to
Hankow in the usual fashion, in bas-
kets borne on the shoulders of coolies.
A street lounger asked one of
the coolies what was in the
baskets. The latter refusing to an
swer, the fellow raised the lid of
the basket, disclosing the children. The
crowd which had gathered raised the
cry that the missionaries were taking
the children away to dig their eyes out,
and forthwith attacked the church, kill
ing Argent and plundering the place.
Customs Officer Green was met by the
mob and killed while on his way to as
sist the wives of the missionaries.
On the return of the Palos from
Wusich to Kiangking, word was received
of an attempted riot in the city. Men
were landed from the Palos, flom the
French frigate Inconstant, and the Ger
man ship Otus to protect the settle
ments, but at the request OF the Chinese
general, who informed tn econsuls
that he would protect the place, the
sailors were withdrawn. No outbreak
followed, but the American residents
withdrew from the city at Lieutenant
Commander Marthon's suggestion.
In closing his letter he says the Chi
nese do not want religion and that he
has yet to meet the first Christian Chi
nese. The natives appear to be trou-
bled wherever missionaries happen to
be stationed, no matter whether a
church, school or hospital is located and
there is also sort OF general outbreak
against foreigners.
Concerning the reports of the likeli-
hood of a riot at Hankow, Marthon
writes that the Porpoise and Viper are
there and that, assisted by these, the
large foreign population should defend
the place without difficulty.

MUTINOUS TROOPS.
The Famous Coldstream Guards Guilty
of InsubOrdination.

of Insubordination.
LONDON, July 22.-Truth today prints
another startling story of mutiny in the
British army, which it claims occurred
in the second at.alion of the Coldstream
guard, quartered at Wellington barracks,
near Buckingham palace, where, Incl
IDENTIFY, it furnished the guard of honor
during the recent visit of Emperor
William.
Itseems that the extra duty thus neces-
STATED was far from pleasant to the
guardsmen, who have long been the pets
OF the British army. After the depart
ure of the emperor the guards expected
day of freedom from guard mounting
Tor recuperation. The men, however,
were ordered on parade duty as usual
in full marching order. As result,
they became sullen and unmanageable,
! bfnnfrst and third companies at first
of these companies de.u The otti .ti efHesd
consultation, not liking the prospect
of term of exile similar to the
one the second battalion of Grenadier
guards was subjected to at Bermuda.
As result they argued the matter with
the privates, holding up to them the
prospects of exile from England. The
privates finally sullenly consented to
parade, but their behavior became so
glaringly insubordinate that the officers
marched them back to the barracks and
ordered the commands confined three
days as punishment. Ten senior pri-
Yates were placed under arrest with a
view Of trial by court martial for insub-
ordination.
Ninety of the guardsmen thereupon
barricaded themselves in room of the
barracks, refusing to emerge until their
ten comrades should be guaranteed the
same treatment as the others. General
Harding was finally called in, and by a
judicious speech succeeded in quieting
them.
The significance of the mutinous SEN
timent can be judged when it is under
stood that the guards are the oldest
corps in the army, with single excep-
ton.

PARIS, July 22.-The Associated Press
correspondent here has been making in
quiries OF the chamber of commerce in
France, as to the present feeling con-
cerning the Mckinley tariff, and as to
whether this feeling will affect the
French exhibit in Chicago.
The vice-president of the chamber Of
commerce of Algiers, said that chamber
passed resolution not long ago, declar-
ing that the new tariff law tended to
rendervery difficult, if not impossible,
all trade between France and the United
States.
The secretary of the chamber OF com.
merce of Rieme said "For the present
at least, the Mckinley bill is an obstacle
to the participation of our manufactur
ers in the Chicago exhibition, but il
within a reasonable length of time 6
friendlier spirit is shown by the Amer.
ican republic for our productions, the
chamber will then be ready to seconC
the minister's efforts"
The president of the chamber of com
merce of Roubax writes that the Nc
Kinley, tariff has produced most un
fortunate impression, and it is feared
that the Chicago exhibition will moi
have the reception there that it woulc
otherwise have had.
st. Etinne and Marseilles write to the
same effect.
The president of the Bordeaux cham
Der says, considering the unjust prohi
bition of American salt meats for years
past, they are not surprised at the re
taliation of the Mckinley bill.

Improve Our Sidewalks.

Editor LIGHT:
My recollection is, that the city
government has. at various times,
ordered sidewalks TO be laid down on
a number of streets in our city, but
that property owners have neglected
to comply with these orders. This
condition of things ought not to exist.
No governments can be properly run,
without system and method. All
orders to lay down sidewalks should
be enforced promptly and firmly. The
council should ascertain where prop
erty owners have neglected to lay
down sidewalks in compliance with
its orders, and at once take the neces.
sorry steps to enforce its orders. A
business administration is always
successful.
Nothing Is more comfortable in q
city than excellent sidewalks and
good street crossings. Besides, they
render a city pleasant and attractive
to visitors. as we'll as impart neatness
and tidiness to q city, which is a
great desideratum. Let the laying
down of sidewalks be looked after.

Clean up the City.
Editor LIGHT:l

Editor LIGHT:
Sanitation Is of the utmost import
ance to every city, and Is now neglect
ed with impunity. Healthfulness
has always been one of the chief at
fractions of San Antonio, and it
would do her an irrepsrable injury to
lose this attraction through the ne
glect of sanitation.
The several sanitary inspectors
should thoroughly examine every lot
in the city and have all trash and
rubbish removed. The heat of the
weather will speadily convert these
piles of trash and rubbish into hot
beds of disease, and cause them to
send forth malarial exhalations to
poison the air that we must breath.
Prevention is much better than cure
as we'll as far cheaper. Every citizen
should set to work to have his lot
placed in perfect cleanliness.
Sanitation, after disease shall have
broken out, is like locking the stable
door after the horse has been stolen
out of 1t. By all means, let San An.
tonic be placed in q state of thorough
sanitation, without delay.

The Interior Of the Earth.

From the Week.
One of the most interesting ques-
tons relating to our planet, says Prot
G. P. Serviss, is that of its interior
constitution. Observations made in
deep mines and borings indicate that
the temperature increases as we go
downward at the average rate of one
degree Fair. fer every Sc feet of de-
scent, so that if this rate of increase
continued, the temperature at the
depth of mile would be more than
1000 higher than at the surface, and
at the depth of forty miles, would be
so high that everything, including
the metals, would be in fluid con-
dition. This view of the condition
of the interior has been adopted by
many, who hold that the crust of the
earth on which we dwell is like q
shell surrounding the molten inter-
Tor. But calculations based upon the
tidal effects that the attraction of the
sun and moon would have upon q
globe with liquid interior have led
Sir William Thomson and others to
assert that such a condition is impossi-
BILE, and that the interior of the earth
must be solid and exceedingly rigid
to its very center. To the objections
that the phenomena of volcanoes con-
tradict the assumption of a solid in
terror, it is replied that unquestion-
ably the heat is very great deep be-
meath the surface, and that reservoirs
of molten rock exist under volcanic
districts, but that, taking the earth's
interior as a whole, the pressure is so
great that the tendency to liquefac-
ton caused by the heat is overbal-
anced thereby. The whole ques ton,
however, is yet an open one.
