age at the Ration of 10 to |.
THE OPPOSITION WAS WEAK
Strong Resol 1tions Adopted With Cheers
All Signs of Discomfort Have
Disappeared.

Pertle Springs, Mo-. Aug. 6.-Free sill
yer has commenced in Missouri as it did
in Illinois, and the fears expressed last
night and this morning that there would
be strife and turmoil in todays conven-
ton were not borne out. The so-called
gold or sound money advocates were so
overwhelmed by the superior general
ship and numerical strength of the
free silver leaders and forces that they
made but very faint effort to stay the
onslaught Of the white metal adherents.
Bland said in opening the convention,
that the democrats of Missouri had as
sembled to adopt resolutions for the
free coinage of silver to select a state
committee which would be in sympathy
with the popular will and how well his
prophecy was carried out the result of
today's convention tells.
The report Of the committee on per-
manent organization, which practically
SHOWS under the old committee, was
adopted with but one or two dissenting
voices. That of the resolutions calling
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver of 16 to l, regardless of any for
eign nation, was carried with a hurrah
and expedition seldom seen in any con-
vention and Furthermore men were Sc
lected to nominate delegates favora-
bic to silver to the national democratic
convention in 1896. AS a whole the
friends of silver are feeling happy to-
night and congratulations are in order.
While waiting for the committee on
resolutions to report the time was Ia
ken up in speech making, eX-COngress-
man Hatch and Hon. M. e. Benton ad-
dressing the convention. The most re-
markable portion of Benton's address
was his reference to the gold advo-
Gates. He said: Every gold advocate
in the state of Missouri is either a
usurer, an office holder or a man with
large prospects for an office"
PRELIMINARY MEETING.
At their first meeting the COM
mittee this morning selected Bland for
chairman. Lew Love of Springfield
was made secretary. These nominations
We're ratified and the committee imme-
diately adjourned. This move of ad-
journing without taking action on the
rumored committee changes is taken to
be the plan of The sound money men
to throw the onus of whatever trouble
may later arise in democratic ranks on
to the silver men. United States SEN
ator Cockrell had an all-night session
with the leading members Of the state
central committee in an endeavOr to
close the breach. Cocllrell is on the
conservative side working for harmony.
He suggested that a resolution be in
troduced in the convention giving the
state central committee iron-clad in
structiOns as to their duties during the
state campaign Of 1896. The members
of the committee present, however
were opposed to such action, and when
the meeting adjourned no progress had
been made toward cementing the con-
tending factions.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The following letter
from Rev. M. Updegraft. dated at
Chung King, June IS, was published
here this morning:
1.-THE present occupation Of the mis-
sionaries in Chung King may be de-
scribed as permanent council Of war
AS the reports come in from the differ
ent parts of the province we begin to
understand how widespread and seri-
GUS are the riots So far as can be
learned that only Chen Tu, but the
far western part Of the province has
been raided. The annual festival Of the
fifth moon, May 20, found a widely
scattered force Of French, Americans
and English in serene possession of the
field, yet before the feast had closed
the central stronghold had fallen and
the mission premises at Chen Tu were
devastated and the residents prisoners
in the Yamen. Extravagant stories of
child eating, treasure hunting, mutila-
ton and other practices as absurd as
false were abroad and a spark set the
whole mass afiame.

tale of which will never be told. Hav.

raid, Kiating, Chung Chow, va Chow,
Sui Flu and many other places were
either looted or attempted, and reign
OF terror was inaugurated."
A second letter from DR.. Updegraft,
dated June &c. describes the situation
further. as follows:
Slowly the details of the riots in
the western part of Szchuen filter down
TO us here. Three separate parties OF
refugees left for the coast and from
them we gather more knowledge of
the experience of these days. When
the mob first struck the Canadian Meth
odist place in the northeast corner
of Chen Tu it was towards the evening
of the fifth feast day. Stones were
used first, then the doors burst in and
the rioters had possession of the outer
yard. Two plucl1y Anglo-Saxons
stood off that yelling host and made
them run with the only show of resist
ance possible, 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 prevent promptness, and as
they united until the mobs gathered in
numbers and strength and impetus,
and the inadequate but heroic garrison
saw their hopes Of safety carried off
by the flying hours"

Methodist missions in this city today.

said today: I'm view of the fact that
we have received no cablegram from
China, we can only hope for the present
