CHINESE REVOLT
Undoubtedly Determined to
Overthrow the Dynasty.
At Last Accounts Blood Was
Freely Flowing.

Three Thousand Insurgents Under the
Leadership of Chen--TorribIe Epidemic
of Cholera at Annoy and Chin Kiang.
Hundreds Have Died, Including Many
Foreign Missionaries.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-Shanghai,
China, advices, per steamer, state that
details have been received of a revolu-
tion in the province of Fukir. The CEN
ter Of the disturbance is in the city Of
Tulma The leader of the insurgents is
named Chen, and has force under his
command of 5000 men. They displayed
a large flag bearing the words "Sweep
away the treacherous dynasty and tran
Quilize the people," Under pretense of
opposing the laborers at the salt works
the force was formed, and incense for
success was offered in the Taisan temple
before the standard was unfurled.
The first expedition was directed
against the salt office, which was
stormed and burned. The deputy with
his assistants, took to their heels. One
unfortunate, however, fell into the
hands of the insurgents, who nailed IL
hands and feet to a board and cut h IA
up piecemeal. The victim was consil-
cred to have been made q sacrifice TO
the flag.
The magistrate Chow had given over
his seat to new magistrate, Shao, two
days previous to the trouble, but had
not yet time to move out. Shao wa

When the insurgents, flushed with sue
cess, made complete circuit arouui
the city, they were met with stubbur1
resistance On the part of the depu
magistrate, Yu, who raised volunt
force of 1000 strong and repulsed
attempt to take the walls by ass
For three days the city held out. i
people were terribly scared, and at
same time provisions ran short. All
tated by fear and harrassed by hunger,
the defenders nobly stood to their pos
in tue desperate hope of an early rescue
by the imperial troops.
The imperial troops seized favorable
moment to send large force under
cover of their own fire to storm the de-
fences The walls were easily scaled,
when bloody struggle ensued, result
ing in favor of the attacking party.
The leader was the first one to leap
over, and rushing straight to the magis-
trate's house he first liberated all the
prisoners and then searched for Magis-
trate Chow, but without success, as he
and his family were conveyed in safety
out of the city. The deputy magistrate
was last seen fighting hand to hand
against overwhelming force, disputing
every inch Of ground. Nothing is
known 80 far as to his fate.
The higher authorities, on learning the
report from Magistrate Shao, had dis
patched over | 900 soldiers to the place
The latest intelligence is that insurgents
have the city and are encamped ON
hill. The loss on both sides isvery heavy
and it is said the insurgents bu,chered
hands.

MAIL DELIVERY TO FARMERS.
A Scheme to Come Up Before the Next
Congress.

Scheme to Come Up Before the Next
Congress.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-An organized
effort is under way among the farmers
to secure from congress free mail de-
livery in country towns. The Farmers
Alliance, the Patrons of Husbandry and
others are canvassing the matter. Let
ters are being written to the congress
men in favor of the project and peti,
tions to congress for free delivery are
being circulated in many parts of the
country. The farmers assert that the
daily mail delivery t. their doors will
add perceptibly to the money value of
their farms, and will be worth still
more because it will keep them in touch
with the markets and outside world,
and rob farm life of its isolation and
monotony. The farmers are writing to
the agricultural press that this con
venience would enable them quite gen
orally to take the daily papers, as well
as to subscribe for local papers more
literally. In the American Agricultur-
list for November. Postmaster General
Wanamaker states definitely for the
first time that experiments by the post
office department for free delivery in
the farming districts show that the in
crease of revenue more than pays all in
creased expense. He believes that uni
versal free delivery would, therefore, be
self sustaining,

in a General Fight.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. ga dispatch
from Bsku, on the west coast of the Caspi-
an sea, states that q riot occurred there
which had its origin In the attempts of a
mob to lynch a thief, who had been caught
red handed in tire act Of robbing a
ba Ear. The mob got possession
of the thief, and would undoubtedly have
carried their intentions to lynch him into
effect had not the police charged them. The
mob for O time held fast to their prisoner,
and the affair developed into general fight
between the police and the mob The pris-
oner was finally rescued by the police.
sACKING THE SHOPS.
The crowd. however, had rapidly gained
accessions to their ranks. and In a short
time they turned their attention from the
original cause of the trouble and devoted
themselves to sacking the shops Of
the city. The police were absolutely
powerless to prevent these outrages
by the mob, and it was found necessary to
cali out the Cossack troops. The soldiers
made short work of the rioters. They
charged upon the latter needless of the COM
sequences, and large number in the crowd
were injured, some of them quite severely.
Order was restored in very short time
after the Cossacks took hand in the affair.

was awakened by young lady relative oc-
cupying an adjoining room with the in
