Details Completed for Inve.tIEnt-
Ing the Missionary Riots.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept 90
Minister DENLY has completed at last
the arrangements for the investigation
OF the missionary riots at Cheng Tu, I'm
the Province of Szechuen, Western
China.
He cabled Secretary Olney to-day that
the Chinese Government had withdrawn
Its opposition to the Commission, and
that the latter will start at once for the
scene of the riots
As the British missions suffered much
more than the American missions, and
In their case there was actual loss of
HE. our State Department sought to
secure the cooperation of the British
Government In making the investiga-
ton and In joint demand upon the
Chinese Government for full rcparation,
just as was done in the case of the Ku
Cheng investigation.
The British Government consented at
first. and charged one of their consuls
10 represent it, but delayed sending the
latter so long that our own Government
finding that the British would not be
ready until well along in the FAN, deter
mined upon independent action.
The Chinese Government did not
relish TINS plan. but, according to MIR
Dtnbys despatch 1t has finally gwen les
consent to the inquiry, and will send a
Chinese official as a member of the Com
mission.
The representatives of our Govern
ment Will he Sheridan +. Read, United

United states Legation at Peking. MIR.
,hrshire VIII 20 as the Secretary or
Recorder of the Commission.
Although nothing is said on the sub
1ect at the department, 1t Is probable
that Mr DENLY has been Obliged in
order to secure the consent of the
Chinese Government to the inquiry. To
abandon his plan of appointing an
American missionary as one of the
members of the Commission. Mr..
Cheshire probably nlls the place in
tended for the missionary.
The Commission will start at once
