We're sent into the region. The b., r.

At Colorado No. 1, the miners refuse
to go TO work. and at Lancaster No. 1.

other cars were on the siding, but re-

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 19.-The Ledger
received to-day by mail from Shanghai
The first copy to reach this country OF
the report OF Rev. Dr. ]. EndicOtt, ID.
D.. who was delegated by the Ameri-
,an and Canadian missionaries to inves-
tigate and report upon the ChenS 1u
riots In SZechuan province. The re-
port Is lengthy and gives detailed ac>
count Of the troubles. cOrroborating tho
Associated Press reports. Dr. Enuicott
went to China from Winnipeg two
years ago, being sent by the Canadian
American Missionary society.
On May 81. the day before the out
break In Cheng Tu, he, together with
his wife, and DIR. Hare left Cheng Tu
for Kai Tung. 100 miles away. They
did not learn of the trouble until June
1, when several boatloads of the Chcns
T'u mob went to Kai Tung and began
to incite trouble As the officials re-
fused TO afford any protection, the par
ty went down the river with numerous
other missionaries to Shanghai. where
DIR. Endcott's report was finished
three weeks ago.
DIR. Endicotts conclusions are briefly
as follows:
1.-The history of past riots does not
encourage lis 10 hope for much III the
way of discovering the real origin OF
these. The officials had ample power IN
their hands to Iuell the riot at its very
beginning. for there was an abundance
t, OF soldiers with arms and ammunition
at Cheng Tu. Had the officials been
friendly some of these forces would
have been quickly utilized TO quell the
disturbances. The viccroy is directly
responsible for the riots. He Is known
to be anti-foreign."
The report states that crisis has
been reached in mission operations, that
foreign nations should change their pol
icy to give the mandarins to under
stand that they must treat Americans,
British and other nations with respect
and afford them protection; that unless
this is done the future outlook before
the missionaries who labor in the Inter
ior Of China will be dark indeed.
He concludes: "A money compensa-
tion for the loss of property is not suf-
ficient to meet demands OF the case The
condemnation OF the viceroy Is worth
infinitely more at this juncture than
millions OF money"
