AUTHENTIC INFORMATION
Fresh News of Chinese nassac-es Of His
sionnries


CHICAGO, Aug. The following let
ter from Rev. NJ. Updegraft, dated at
Chung King, June IS, was published
here:
The present occupation OF the mis-
sivnaries in Chung King may be de-
scribed as permanent council OF war.
As the reports come in from different
parts of the province we begin to under.
stand how widespread and serious are the
riots. So far as can be learned not only
Chen Tu but the far western part of the
province has been raided.
THE annual festival of the Fifth Moon
MAY 2O) found widely scattered force
of French, Americans and English in
serene possession of the field, yet before
the fest had closed the central stronghold
had fallen and the mission premises at
Chen Tu we're devastated, the residents
prisoners on the Yamen. The extrava-
CANT stories OF child eating, treasure
hunting, mutilation and other practices,
as absurd as false. were abroad and spark
set the whole mass aflane.
Then beginning with the Canadian
Methodists and spreading with diabolical
i'm mpartiality to Catholic, China inland
and American Methodist missions. til G
hateful foreigner was rooted out, houses
;orn down and the whole lefG in a wreck
and ruin, the full tale of which will
never be told. Having made such sue
cess OF their first raid, kia Ting, Chung
Chow, Va Chow, S vi Flu and many other
places were either looted or attempted
and a reign of terror was lnaugurated."
A second letter from DR.. Updegraft
dated June &c describes the situation fur.
ther as follows:
Slowly the details of the riots in the
western part of the Szechuen filter down
to us here.
Three separate parties of refugees have
left for the coast. and from each of them
we gather more knowledge of the expert
ence of these days. When the mob first
struck the Canadian Methodist place III
the northeast corner of Chen Tu it was
toward evening of the feast day.
Stones we're used first, then the doors
burst in and rioters took possession of the
outer yard. Two plucky Anglo-Saxons
stood off that yelling host and made them
run, with the only show of resistance pos
sible, while messengers 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 pre-
vent promptness and so they waited until
the mops gathered in numbers and
strength ana impetus and the inadequate
but heroic garrison saw their hopes oil
safety carried off by the flying hours"

SPAIN TO BE REPRESENTED.

Washington, July 5.-Senor Du Puy de
Leon, the Spanish minister, says Spain
will take part in the next international
monetary convention, as she is Interested
in the solution Of the bimetallic question.
Spain uses both gold and silver, the lat
ter being coined at a fixed ratio with
gold, and there is also an issue of paper
currency. Two Of the epanish colonies,
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands,
use silver almost exclusively. For these
reasons Spaln's policy Is definitely IA
vorable towards the use Of both metals
and her interests, particularly In the col
onies, are towards the enlarged use Of
silver.
The belief is expressed by some Of the
best posted representatives for foreign
countries that the international agree
ment should embody certain essential
features. To assure its power 1t must
secure the adherence of the United
States and of at least one OF the three
great money centers of Europe, Great
Britain, France or Germany, and the ad-
herence Of as many lesser countries as
possible. ,..3

BY THE ROLLING SURF.
Iteresting Notes from Clatsop County's
Beaches.


The past week at the beachss adjacent
to Astoria has been one of sunshine, and
many people have taken up their summer
residence at the various res s,rts. Gear
hart, Grimes and McGuire's at the Clat-
sop beach are now open for the su INNER
visitor and quite a number of people
have patronized them since their opening.
The Seaside hotel at the Halliday place
has not opened as yet, though it is under
stood that 1t will be in readiness for
summer traffic I'm few days.
The cottages at Seaside and Gearhart
will all be occupied this season, and
many people from the interior who fig
ured on renting a house at either of these
resorts have been disappointed. The sud-
den demand for cottages has had a good
effect, however, for now many new
houses are contemplated, and this fall
will see quite a building boom at those
delightful resorts.
Campers will this year be more num-
erous than last, which was considered
a big season. They will come from all
parts Of Oregon, and in another weel
or two little white tents can be seen
dotted throughout the groves from Gear
hart to Tilamook Head. Many prominent
families prefer camp life to the more
combining life in a cottage, and really
there is great deal in their argument
in favor Of the free and easy life of
roughing 1t under the green canopy of
the pretty groves along the sea shore.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE.

Fire was discovered at o'clock this
morning in one of the boiler houses Of
the Clatsop Mill Company. An alarm

fore the department arrived on the scene
the building was a mass Of flames. For
awhile 1t looked as IL the surrounding
buildings were In danger, but the good
work of No. S's and the chemical soon
got the flames under control The build
ing was used to get up heat for the dry
house and aside from the boilers had a
great deal of machinery in 1t. The fire
Is thought to have originated on top of
the boilers. Mr.. Kinney states the loss
to be in the neighborhood Of $1,000, which
is fully covered by insurance.
At O'clock this morning Manager Kin
ney stated that the proprletors of the
Clatsop Mills would Immediately rebuild
the boiler house. The dry house and box
factory win be in operation by Monday,
and all orders will be filled promptly.

PAUL WEBB MAY LIVE.

Spokane, July 5.-The report given out
last night that Paul Webb, who tried to
go down chute into the lake in a barrel
was dead, was incorrect. Although the
doctors say his back is broken in two
places, he clings to life with wonderful
tenaclty, and the physislans now say ne
has a chance for life. Webb is quite
rational, and speaks of recovering as
though death were not to be considered.
To reporter he said:
From the time I struck the rocks as
they say did, was only semi-conscious
until midnight last night. Since then I
have been able to talk and understand
everything going on. had a presenti-
ment that this trip would be disastrous.
