THE OBSTACLES ovERoomE.
The American and British Ministers Sc

INC american and British Ministers Sc
cure the Punishment OF Chinese Rioters.
WASHINGTON, Oos. Is - Minister
DENLY and the British minister to China
have succeeded in overcoming the oh.
s'acles which threatened to make tho
hu Cheng commission failure 30 far
as IL was intended to secure punishment
OF the Chinese who were guilty Of par
eictpstion In the riots st Ku Cheng,
wherein much damage was done to mis-
sionary property and great indignities
heaped upon the missionaries.
AT each stage the commission has
been hindered in prosecuting it's in .
quiries by the local Chinese officials,
and the. viceroy OF the province of
Szechuan himself has etood in the way
OF the punishment of the guilty parties.
Finally, an appeal was made to the
Tsung LII Ysmen directly, and that body
has aoceded to the demands OF the min
isters, as was evidenced by a cablegram
received at the State Department to
day from Mr.. DENLY, which is sub
stantially as follows:
"PEKING. Oct. 1l-Seventeen crimi.
nails will be executed at Ku Cheng.
Inc 1amen agrees that all leaders Tin
the rtotingl shall be executed; all par
Elephants sentenced and all implic ated
shall be tried. The commission will
probably be adjourned. An imperial
decree has been issued, which refers all
of the Szechusn officials implicated to
board for punishment."
1t is supposed that the adjournment of
the com mission referred to is based on
the fact that IT, has concluded it's work.
1t has been found impossible heretofore
to induce the Chinese government to
take any steps to punish the officials,
whom the facts clearly showed to be in
a large measure responsible for the
riots.
