Rev. Mr.. Endlcott Tells Of His
Investigations
The Yamen Soldiers Heiped In the Wort. Of
Destruction by Consent Of the

Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
TACOMA, Aug. 1.-The Ledger re-
ceived today by mail from Shanghai the
first copy to reach this country of the re-
port of Rev. DR.. J. Endicott, ID. D., who
was delegated by the American and Can
acian missionaries to investigate and re-
port upon the Cbeng- -Tu riots IN Szechuan
province. The report is lengthy and gives
q detailed account OF the troubles. cor
roborating the Associated Press reports.
DR.. Endicott went to China from Winni-
peg two years ago, being sent by the Can
adian American Missionary society.
On MAY 9th, the day before the out
break in Cheng-Tu, he, together with
his wife. DR.. Hart and DR.. Hare, left
Cheng-Tu tor Kia-Tung. 100 miles away.
They did not learn of the trouble until
June 1st, when several boat loads OF the
Cheng-Tu mob went to Kia-Tung and
bsgan to Incite trouble. AS the officials
refused to afford any protection, the
party went down the river with numerous
other tmissionaries to Shanghai, where
Dr.iEndicott's report was finished three
weeks ago.
DIR. Enuicott's conclusions are briefly as
follows: THE history of past riots does
not encourage us to hope for much IN
the way of discovering the real origin OF
these, but the conclusion is forced upon
us that the highest officials weie desirous
that q riot should take place: The ofll-
cials had ample power In their Eands 10
ouell the riot at it's very beginning, Tor
there was an abundance of soldiers, arms
and ammunition at Cheng-Tu. Had the
officials been friendly some OF these forces
would have been quickly utilized TO quell
the disturbance.
The action of Cheo, the infamous
chief of police, IN declaring by proclama-
ton that the officials knew the mission
aries were guilty Of stealing and killing
children, is another evidence of the ami
mostly of the officials. Again and again
during the progress of the riots, yamen
soldiers were seen taking an active part
in the work of destruction, q thing they
would not have dared to do but with the
consent of their masters.
g The viceroy is directly Responsible
for the riots. He is known to be anti
foreign since only last February he OPP
posed by proclamation the Berthemy con-
vention, by which privileges were secured
to foreigners in the matter of purchasing
property
The report states that a crisis has been
reached in missionary operations; that
foreign nations should change their poll
cy and give the mandarins to understand
that they must .reat Americn. British
and other foreign subjects with respect
and afford them protection; that unless
this is done the future outlook before the
missionaries who laoor OF the interior OF
China will be dark indeed.
He concludes: "A money compensa-
tion for the loss of property is. not suf.
ficient to meet the demands of the case.
The condem nation of the viceroy is worth
infinitely more at this junctuTe than mil
lions OF money"

rIiIitarism in Germany

LONDON, Aug, 1S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin, which will be pub.
lshed tomorrow, dwells upon the delays
and difficulties in the history OF the me-
mortal to EN- peror William and says it
does not. appear what alterations will be
made in the design in order to keep the
expense within the limit the reichstsg
has prescribed.
at is certainly to be hoped, 1.-THE dispatch
says, THAT it will be unnecessary to ap-
ply to parliament for fresh grant which
might easily lead to repetition OF the
unpleasant discussions which unfortu-
nately charac telized the history Of the
memorial. Todays ceremonies bore lit
tie resemblance to an additional festiyity.
It's military character was its most prom
inent feature"
The general public WAS excluded and
tho regulations Of the police for the clos
ing of the thoroughfares in the neighbor-
hood were extensive even for Berlin. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that COM
plants were raised similar to those heard
at the opening of the new reichstag.. 1t
was especially remarked that at the lay
ing of the keystone Of the Baltic canal,
the presidents of the reichstag, as the rep
rsentatives of the people, followed the
chancellor in the tapping Uf the stone.
They were today relegated to the last

gregate $l02, 767, 7S6. gain over last year
OF ST. per cent and following decrease
in 1894, from 1898, of 1873 per cent.
Divided into groups. q striking uniform
ity is noted in the increases and decreases
IN the gross and net. OF the l26 railroads

When the net earnings figures this year

the gains shown in the other groups of
