Work of the Chinese Mob.
CHICAGO. Aug. 6-The following letter
from the Rev. William Upcraft, dated at
Chung King, June is. was published here
this evening" The present occupation of
the missionaries in Chung King may be
described as a permanent council of war.

Cheng-Tu, it was towards evening of the
fifth month feast day. Stones were used
first, then the doors burst In and the rioters
had possession of the outer yard. Two
plucky Anglo-Saxons stood of that yelling
host and made them run, with the only
show of resistance possible, while mes
sengers were sent to the Yamen to urge the
dilatory officials to instant action-but in
vain. The forces Of fear and custom both
operate TO prevent promptness. and so
they waited till the mob gathered in num-
bers and strength and impetus and the
inadequate. but heroic garrison saw their
hours

Two years ago visited the places where

portion of our work in China is at Hing

work radiating from there and It is the
only place in that section where foreign
missionaries reside. They are Rev. DIR. W.

dren, all Of Cincinnati; Miss Julia NJ Dona-
hue, NJ. D., also of Cincinnati, and Miss
Minnie A. Wilson, of the Northwestern
branch Of the NJ. E. Foreign Missionary
Society. AT Fukhien Laong, Ningtatk and
Hochiang, the missions are conducted by
native preachers Our people have orders to
cable us Immediately If any disaster over
takes them. And feel sure we would have
heard something from Hinghua If any
thing had happened Our latest dispatches
from Ku-Cheng are very reassuring and
they go to show that all at that mission
are safe"

Gov. Altgeld Does Not Think His Pres.
ence Necessary at the Scene of
Trouble-Meetingso of Miners.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 6. - Governor
Altgeld decided, late this evening. not to
go to Spring Valley, but will send men,
Der of his staff. He is satisfied. from the
advices he has received. that there is no
necessity for the sending of troops. The
sheriff of the county wired him this even
ing that he could cope with any trouble
that might arise, so far as present indica-
tions went, and. if he found it getting be-
yond him, would advise the Governor. The
municipal authorities of Spring Valley have
wired the Governor, denouncing the wildly
xaggerated reports which have been sent
out as TO the extent of the trouble. and
urging that the Governor either send a
commission or come himself at once, say
ing they court the fullest investigation
The Governor has been busy all day with
telegrapnic correspondence on this subject
The mass meeting of colored people in Chi
cago sent him two kilograms, calling for
aid, TO which he replied. stating that as
sistance to the local authorities would be
furnished Immediately when called for. The
Italian consul at Chicago also wired the
Governor, evidently having become alarmed
at the incendiary utterances of some of the
colored people there, who were talking
about marching on Spring Valley. The
Governor replied to the consul. assuring
him that all requisite steps would be taken
to preserve order.
Much excitement was created this even
ing by the assertion made by j. C.. Buckner,
a colored member of the General Assembly
to the effect that over thirty of his race
had been killed in and about Spring VAL
ley since the trouble began. He was, how
ever. unable to give any definite authority
for this report, saying it had come to him
through private sources. In view of the
repeated denials of such reports from re-
sponsible persons in Spring Valley, it is
thought to be without real foundation.
Buckner is from Chicago district and
came here to-day, having been delegated
by the. Chicago committee of colored peo-
pie who met last night. He called on
Governor Altgeld and demanded protection
for his race in Spring Valley. The Governor
assured him that Ii would be given, and IL
necessary he would have a regiment of
troops there in a short time. Buckner in
sisted that. according to his private ad-
vices, the situation was appalling. He had
been informed that thirty-four bodies of
colored men, women and children, have
been picked UP in the woods around Spring
Valley. and fourteen more badly wounded
were found. He also had learned that 800
coiored men. who were at Seatonville were
armng themselves for protection against
the riotous Huns, Poles and Italians, who
had sent word that they intended to drive
every negro out of the county
