THE CHINESE MASSACRES
ANXIETY FELT IN BOSTON OVER
THE NEWS FROM CHINA.
Reports Received. at Methodist Head
quarters Confirm the Accounts of the
Riots--A Secret Society for the Over
throw of the Chinese Government.

BosroN, July 3d. Much anxiety ex-
lists in Boston over the news from China
regarding the massacre OF missionaries.
The Congregationalists and Baptists say
their denominations have not been mo-
Tested as far as they know. At Metho-
dist headquarters, however, the press
reports Of the riots at Yang Chow, Nam
king, Wusich. Kin Kiang and other
places in the Yang-tse valley are con-
firmed. At Nanking, Chinese attempted
to demolish the Phiiander Smith hospit-
al, and set fire to the girls school build
ing belonging to the woman's foreign
missionary society. Rev. d. w. Nichols
faced the mob alone and kept them at
bay with revolver until the Mandarin
arrived with soldiers. At Wusich, as
before stated, Rev. Mr.. Argent and Mr..
Green, an Englishman connected with
the customs service, were killed.
AS to the cause OF these riots, one gen.
tleman connected with the Methodist
book concern, said the press advices
were undoubtedly correct that there is a
secret society which has for its object
the overthrow OF the government, and
whose purpose in fomenting riots
is to embroilg the government with
foreign powers, in the hope that
war will ensue. There are also large
numbers of discharged soldiers and un-
employed laborers who constitute a
roaming and lawless body, always ready
to enter any scheme of destruction and
plunder. The Chinese government,
however, they assert was never more
friendly to the missionaries than at
present

WELSH TIN WORKS.
Their Resumption Of Work
Is Only Partial.
The Tin Plate Industry Is at a
Low Ebb.
No Appreciable Reduction in the
Stocks in America.
The Welsh Manufacturers Say They
Have Nothing to Fear From Amer
2 lean Competiti on-The Indns-
try Much Demoralized.
Associated Press Dispatches.


LONDON, July 2S.-The resumption of
the Welsh tin plate works is only par
tial and by firms fortunate enough to
secure orders. Work will only continue
while orders last, by week to week con-
tracts with the men. No appreciable
reduction of the stocks in America is
noticed. Prices are still unremunera-
tive. During July the shipments from
Swansea have been under 1000 tons
weekly, as against 10000 to $4,000
tons in the same month in
1890, while the stocks now on
hand amount to ,240 boxes, against
1850, 900 boxes in the corresponding
week in 80. 1t is estimated that three
months must elapse before the trade
becomes brisk again, but general
confidence is felt among manu-
facturers that the trade will regu-
late itself in six months. The
threatened American competition causes
no serious alarm to most manufacturers,
though some Of the less sanguine think
the Americans will eventually succeed
in establishing trade, especially as
they will be able to adopt labor
saving appliances, attempts to introduce
which here have already incurred the
resentment of the men, and will inevita-
bly, lead to severe struggle. The Dam
iel Edwards company are unable to re-
sumo, their men declining to work the
new fux system. The company are
therefore taking steps to sell the fux
patents to Americans. Other firms are
also idle, their men refusing to work at
reduced wages. The attitude OF the men
is largely the outcome of the inquiries
of American agents for labor. If the
masters here do not concede the de-
mands of the men, the latter know they
can secure employment in America.
The relationship between capital and
labor is becoming strained, and it is
feared the employers will be forced to
consider the advisability of trans
ferring their business to America.
The manufacturers offered to reopen
the works on lower wages, merely to
give the men employment and without
the hope Of profit. The secretary Of the
Tin Plate Masters association, in an
interview today, confirmed these views,
but added that there was nothing to
fear from purely American competition.

THIRD PARTY ORATORS.
An ENCAMPMENT OF FARMERS
AND KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Prominent Speakers Let Their Batteries
Loose on the Old Parties Democrats
and Republicans Alike Flagellated BY
the Peoples Party Apostles,

ST.. LOUIS. July 2S.-The Farmers
Alliance and knights of Labor of the
third and fourth congressional districts,
Of Texas, are holding an encampment
at Sulphur Springs. Among the prom
inent persons present are Senator PETER,
of Kansas, and Powers, president of the
Indiana Alliance. The speeches so far
have all been in favor Of the Peoples
party movement.
Mr.. Hood, of yanzant county, pre-
dicted q revolution in the event relief
fails through the ballot. He said the
people intended to break up the pluto
cracy peaceably if they can, forcibly if
they must.
President Powers, of Indiana, said he
looked across gun barrel at the south
not many years ago, but he was here
now to take them by the hand in fight
to the death against the two old parties
who were two old dogs tramping in the
same path. There has been a bloody
chasm between the north and south for
twenty-five years, but the people will
fill the chasm with dead politicians, wipe
out the monopoly plutocracy and
restore the government to the people.
The exception written across the green
back he had in his hand, destroyed the
sovereignty of the people. The evils
were aggravated when an exception ives
made against the silver dollar. He held
map in his hand illustrating the
national banks in which the people
could not approach the treasury, and
showing the bankers in '86 receiving
$50, ,0O0, 900 from the treasury hopper.
He showed map with a see-saw ON
the backs of two farmers on all fours,
and Republicans and Democrats on
either end, and still another map repre-
senting the farmers as reversing the op-
eration. Every slur on the Democracy
was cheered, and no sympathy was man
ifested over his structures on Ingalls,,
Sherman and the Republican party.

with mud to depth of three or four
feet. The water roared terrifcally as it
came down the caiion. The streets pre-
sent the appearance of a volcanic erup-
ton. The damage will reach ten
thousand dollars. The waters receded
in three hours, but the indications are
that another food will come and the
people are ready to flee to the hills at
minutes notice.

counties along the Ohio and Indiana
border line, and devastation is most
marked in the region around the head
waters of the Wabash, Miami and

SONORA, CAL, July 2S.-The forest fire

After destroying the marble works it
swept over McPherson's place, leaving

succumbed to the destructive element.
Then the Columbia brewery was de-
stroyed. From there the fire rushed on

partly around Columbia. Men from
this place have gone to lend their help
to save Columbia, and still the cry
comes for more help.
Later-The town of Columbia was
saved from the flames by back-fripg.
The fire is rushing up the Stanislaus

CHICAGO, July 2S.--A dispatch from
Omaha says the Union Pacific railroad
is taking measures to prevent the Rock
Island and Milwaukee and St. Paul roads
from profiting from yesterdays decision
in the bridge lease case. The opposing
attorneys have disagreed on two points.
The Union Pacific wants bond to delay
the execution of the contract until
finally determined by thesupreme court,
and also that joint rules for running on
the bridge be adopted before the use of
the bridge begins. This would delay
matters.
