New York, Sept. 1.-Reports of the
outrages on missionaries in China have
come from members of the American
Baptist Missionary Union to the Blp-
tist Missionary Magazine, which shows
that the tiprisings were more general
than has been told before. In the last
week of May and the first of June all
the missionary stations In Western
China were looted by mobs and 14G
missionaries, men, women and chill
dren, were driven away, escaping only
with their lives. In the province Of
SEE Chuan, the largest in the empire
there were many small stations scat
tered over the valley of the upper Yang
Use river. Most of the missionaries
had gone to the field in the past five
years. While the authorities seem to
have tried in some Instances to protect
the missions, the only service they
were able to render was to help them
to escape. The missionaries fled hun
dreds Of miles down the river, travelling
in boats and RATS, hardly carrying so
much rs a change of clothing and
and reaching places of safety only af-
ter two weeks of hardship.

The Castillo Concert.


 by the complimentary benefit rendered Seflor Jose E. del Castillo, and his most estimable lady. The entertain ment presented was by volunteer lc- cal talent, from both cities, and the rich and varied programme was rendered with an effect and finish that made it both pleasing and gratifying to the large audience, who received with rapturous applause the efforts Of their favorites.
 The programme opened with "Caya- tina de Juramento, sung by Sehora Maria R. del Castillo with exquisite delicacy and much life and action. She was ably sustained by chorus consisting of Senoritas LuiSa Masca refas, Manuela Escalante, Clara Hol- Ter, Clotilde Simond and Carlota Si- mond, and SeTores Enrique Aceyedo, Lewis Fleischer, Demetrio NelascO, Jose Lamarque, Alejaldro EdgertoD, Ben Goldsmith and Alejandro Joffroy
 The second number was a romanzas 'Jugar con Fuego," Playing with Fire by Miss Katherine Christ. The hearty applause which greeted Miss Kate's appearance evinced the warm place she holds in the hearts of the people of NogaleS Her exquisite ,.o;,o ,,,o, ;,, Gpa form, and l,ar rapdi tion of the delightful melody was fine and effective. As an encore she sang "He Comes Not" with like delicacy and effect
 MT. William Young sang with rare force and effect the ''Serenata de Me fistofeles" from Faust, and as an en- core sang the old sexton's song T Gather Them h." His lightning change of costume between the songs was remarkably well and quickly done. His rendition of the sexton's song was really very fine.
 The next was "Serenata de los An geles," by Mrs. Castillo, with mando- lin accompaniment, by MT. Castillo, and piano accompaniment by Jose Rodriguez.
 Sefor Alfredo Diaz Nelasco sang the romanza "Spirito Gentil," from the opera of La Favorita. Mir Yelasco has fine and well trained voice, and his number was excellently rendered.
 The next on the programme was "Ay Serafn' Terceto de la Gallina Ciega, The Blind Hen very com ical little act musical and recltatiye) by Mrs. Castillo, MT Castillo and Mr. Acevedo It was full of life and action and fine melody, and the rendition was frequently interrupted by rounds of hearty applause.
 The young ladies who sang in the first number rendered the Fan Chorus" in very pleasing manner, and repeated the number for an en- core.
 The entertainment closed with the zarzuela loperetta La Salsa de Ami ceta, by Sehora de Castillo, Senorita Manuela Marquez and Senores Castillo and Aceyedo. The little play is filled with catchy music, laughable situ- ations, and witty sayings. The cast fully entered into the spirit of the piece, and from start to finish they kept the audience in roar of laughter MT. Acevedo was remarkably funny, both in song and action, and local hit which he gave in response to an encore for one of his songs set the audience wild with delight.
 On the whole the performance was one of the best ever presented in No gales. Mir. and Mrs Castillo are to be

GODS HAND IN HISTORY.
Address of Rev. George II. Howe of Lewis
ton,

| Rev. George M. Howe of Lewiston, ad
dressed fair-sized audience at City Hal.
last evening on Goods Hand in Ameri
can History
lie began by denial that Colum bus
discovered America, giving that honor tc
the Norsemen, and tracing in an interest
ing way the Morse discoveries. He said
that Columbus followed the flight Of
sea birds to the south, and the accidental
placing OF an axe on the May flower near
the compass carried the Pilgrims from
their proposed course south, and landed
them on Plymouth Rock. He finely
worked out his central thought that God
was in this, and in all other events that
shaped the future of the republic. He
spoke OF the purchase of the great south
land portion of the. republic by Jefferson,
the services of Dr. Whitman in saving
Oregon to the Union, and the raising OF
the flag of the republic on the Pacific
coast, as parts Of the great plan for the
making OF the greatest grandest and
most complete of the republics.
Having spoken of the making of the
republic he passed to hurried consid-
GRAFTON of some of the dangers that NAV
threaten it, chief among the coming dan
gers to his mind being unrestricted emf
grafton, and the making of citizens at the
command of such organization as Tam
many.
He spoke Of the French Canadians as
an industrious and thrifty people, who
have acquired sss, 600, 900 property in New
England. Already there is nearly 3s per
cent of the entire French Canadian race
on this side of the border. He spoke Of
their churches, schools where the French
language and French history is taught,
and Of their societies, the qualification
for membership in which lis that the ap-
plicant be of Catholic faith, and able to
speak French. They come here now
with their religious teachers and with
their home life as perfectly developed
as on the other side of the line.
The Pilgrims built the school house side
by side with the church, and the Anne
rican people must preserve the public
school system. He would enact laws
compelling all citizens to educate their
children in public schools in which moth
ing but the English language shall be
taught, and in which there shall be for a
text book the history Of no country but
this in which we live, and to the infiu-
ence of thespublic schools in the direction
Of good citizenship he would add the
quiet. influence, and the teaching of
children to love the flag of their country.
