The riots Of 1891 wsrs general. They ex-
tended oil over the empire, and proclama-
tons melting the people to drive out the
foreigners were everywhere put up. Dates
were fired upon again and again for mas
sacre. and the Hnmanitss. among other
threats, said they would butcher the Chris
tians, foreign and native. and slice them
into pieces. and weighing divide them
among the people for . cannibal feast.
These Humanites are the best soldiers Of
the empire They come from An i'm
mense province south Of hers, and
arc tho most dsrcs Of eli the Chinese.
They form to large extent the
great secret society knows - the Koloa
Hui, and they have their organisation
everywhere. They sre especially strong ct
Marking. and from that point the working
Of the rioters seemed TO be directed. There
il no doubt but that the educated classes
Of the Chinese incite these troubles. They
Say they come from the people and they
cannot control them, but this IL evidently
faiss. At Hankow the viceroy or governor
Of the state, who lives in the big capital
city Of Wucnang, just across the rivsr, SAID
he could do nothing. and Thousands Of CHI
ness students who WsEs theirs to attend the
examin ations collected on the wallis Of the
eigners. Atthis time. however, IN English
gunboat appeared on the scsns. Its CON-
mandsr sent his compliments 20 the gov
ernor. saying IL Vas unfortunate that he
could mot control his people, for 1t the
first outbreak he would hsss TO shell the
city. The messenger then went on - fol-
lows: 1.-THE commander would regret this
very much. - his guns ara pointed just In
the line o. your sxcellency's palace, and
they will probably destroy It." II was
wonderful how quickly Wuchang became
quiet. Runners were sent out by hundreds
from the palace that night TO all parts OF
the town, aud ono Of the most reboilious
cities became the most respectful and quiet.
The tracts against the Christians and the
books and pictures which have described
are gotten up by the scholars of the en-
pire. One book Is called death TO the
Devils Religion" and eight men alone
subscribed 70 400 900 Of these and scattered
them over the empire. Boat loads of these
books were carried through the provinces
near here and the pawnbrokers and book
sellers aided In gstiing them 10 the people.
Doggersl songs against the Christians are
written and taught 20 the children in
some Of the cities. and your hear their
cries Of derision hurled as you every where
you 80.
These pictures Of which have alreadv
written paint not ouly the Christians on
earth, but they show their fate after death.
In one all the horrors Of the Buddhist hell
are called to bear upon them A hog
labeled Jesus 10 being sawed ia two By two
devils. and other devils ara tormenting
the foreigners. One picture shows how
the foreign books should be burned. and
there IL great fire, with Chinese coolies
bringing stacks Of volumes and throw
ing them into the iire. In the back
ground are foreigners tied TO crosses and
Cinnamon torrnenting them. On the
ground lie other foreigners, held by
Cinnamon. while other celcstiais
pour down their Threats. through tunnels,
the vilest of slops. This print il labeled
the beating Of the devils and the burning
OF the books, and the Chinese characters
on the margins read. 1.-THE ,iepraved reii-
gton of the hog Is prapag ated from foreign
lands. Its followers Insult heaven and ex-
tirpatc ancestors. Ten thousand arrows
and thousand swords viii not expsate

Another cartoon states that II /. hateful
that the name of Jesus should descend to
a thousand generations, and it deseribe
how the believers should be treated as
above. IL states that all Chinese believers
should be forced 10 drink siops and to de-
tie the picture of q cross placed before
them. Another shows hog children are
mntAated for tho making Of foreign med
