Though the excursion season is now
rapidly nearing its conclusion the palace

is largely due to the reduced rate of 80
cents, with children at half-price, but
the woaderful popularity of the trip and

with the matter.
1t will be pleasing intelligence to the

the steamer arrives at Cape May such

FoRel eNERs MURDERED IN CHINA


Belief That Missionaries Pick Out chill

The Methodist Episcopal Missionary
Society In New York has received the
following letter from the Rev Marcus L.
TAFT. one OF its missionaries stationed at
Pekin. Almost simultaneously mobs
threatening riots have appeared IN Hank
ing, Cynkiang, Wnhu. Kinkiang and
Wusuch. In the broad fertile valley Of the
Yang Use KiaDg and in other parts of
China Inhammatory plscarGs, melting
riots against foreigners, have been pasted
on the city gates Of Pekin and in the
streets Of Shanghai. rientsin and many
inland mission stations At Nenkin.

seized the ringleader and held him until
tine troops from the Vicsroy took
charge Of him for punishment, prob
ably decapitation Only at Wusuch have
the lives Of any foreigners been lost,
Green and Argent.
'ln this city twenty-fi five miles farther
up the Yang Use River than KinkiRng,
were two houses Of missionaries in the
centre OF this Chinese population on June
when the riot suddenly broke out with
such violence. The two ladies' living
there and a lady with the children were
the only foreigners in the mission com
pound Their husbands were ell off on
different missionary tours 10 the country
IL has been ascertained that popular SUI
perstition is causing the trouble The
story that the foreigners were taking
the eyes out OF the Chinese babies to
make medicine Of them was employed by
designing rascals So dense is the igno
rance and credulity of the common
people that such a rumor acted as a spark
upon keg Of powder
"A man was seen carrying in two
baskets four young babies for the Ro-
man Catholic Founding Hospital at
Klngkiang. cry was raised
They are taking those babies to the
mission to make medicine Of them
The ladies escaped out of back
door TO a side street Their houses were
locked and set on fire. The mob kept on
striking kicking aud stoning them. One
official closed bis doors so that these de-
fenseless ladies' could not find refuge in
his yamen. Another official willingly
rescued them until the mob burned his
yamen and roughly beat him. They es-
capped to mat hut, where a couple Of
aged Chinamep by the promise Of
large reward, concealed hem by sitting
at their door calmly smoking their pipes
Later Chinese official sent his under
lings and rescued them until they were
taken safely on board river steamer,
"Fhe two Englishmen that were
killed, Green and Argent, seeing the
glare Of the Ore at the mission premises,
hastily ran thither in order to render
assistance. when they were set upon by
the bowling mob, killed, and so NAL
treated that their faces were hardly re-
cognizsble. Their disfgured bodies were
afterward recovered and carried on the
United States gunboat Palos to Hankow,
where they were buried with Christian
ceremonies
