THE RIOTS AT KIANG-YiN
Mission Bui dings Wrecked by the Mob
We're American.
Two EnSlishnen the Victims of An.
other Attack-Nothing Official
is known Here.

SHANGHAI, May 2O.-Details received
in regard to the anti-missionary riots at
Kiang-yin, on May II, during which
mission was looted, show that the disturb
ance was caused by :ne admission of a
native child to the hospital. This caused
the assembling of mob which demanded
the child, and upon the refusal of the mis-
sionaries to give 1t Up, the infuriated
crowd wrecked the mission buildings,
which, 1t is added, were American proper
ty and not the property of the British
missionaries. The missionaries, however,
escaped.
VICTORIA, B. c., May 2O.-The steamer
Altmore, arriving from the orient last
night, brought advices of an anti-mission-
ary outrage at Tai Chau, China Two En-
slish missionaries, named Ferguson and
Walker, were the victims. Proceeding by
boat from Shanghai to Chenkingian they
arrived at Tai Chau on April l3 While
awaiting the return Of a messenger, whom
they had sent with their cards and pass
ports to the residence of the chief local
cfhcial, they were attacked by mob that
Dombarded them vigorously with stones.
The two missionaries finding the situation
lntolerable, left the shelter OF a cabin and
attempted to pull the anchor and shove
their beat in the stream, the crew having
led beyond the range of the missiles.
became more vigorous than ever, and
Snot was fired, the bullet passing through
Air F'erguscn's left hand. At last the boat
was got off. and, being joined by its crew,
dlopped down the stream. The boat be-
came again the target for q cloud of mis-
sizes as il passed a narrow part of the
CHANNEL. but no serious injury was in
fiiCted.
An officer and ten soldiers arrived on the
scene While the outrage was going on but
tEelr presence had little if any, effect in
qGleting the rioters.
Nothing is yet known officially here of
the reported destruction Of American mis-
sion property at kiang-yin, In China. 1t
was supposed that some of the British
missions in that neighborhood had suffered
from the riot reported on the 18th instant.
but it was not understood that any Amer
leans had been involved in the trouble, al
though word came by cable a few days
ago from Admiral McNair. commanding
the vessels on the Asiatic station, that he
had dispatched the L. S. S. Boston to Chin
klang, which is near to kiang-yin, on re-
ports CT trouble there.
The official directory fails to show that
any American mission is located at that
place, and it is felt here that some mis-
take has been made in the latest announce

NOW LIEUT.. COL. FIEBEGER.
He Has Been Com missioned Professor
West Point.


Captain Gustav J. Fiebeger of the corps
of engineers has been confirmed and COM
missioned as professor of military and
civil engineering at the United States
Military Academy, with the rank and pay
of lieutenant colonel, and is arranging to
take up his residence at West Point. It
Is ascertained at the War Department that
no one has been selected to succeed to his
duties as assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner of the District, and the best
information obtainable is to the effect
that no such detail will be made for some
time to come, even if il is NOT finally con-
cluded at the War Department 10 perma-
nently reduce the Engineer Commissioners
force to two assistants. In the office of
the chief of engineers it is said that the
corps is almost too small to attend to the
important work dcvolved upon it by the
present Congress in Notifications and
river and harbor improvements, and that
it Is extremely unlikely that any Of the
officers will be detailed to outside work un-
less specially desired by the President or
the Secretary of War.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Annual Report Submitted to the
Stockholders.

CHICAGO, May 20-At the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Associated
Press held this morning 749 of the 1903
shares of stock were represented.
The report of the board of directors for
the year ending December 81, 1895, showed
that the membership had grown from 3s1
to 41S and the stockholders had increased
from 124 to 13S. The present membership
is 45S and the number of stockholders 40
The finances had been brought to a most
satisfactory condition. The revenues had
been steadily maintained at their maxi
mum, while the expenses had been re-
duced. The monthly margin Of excess of
receipts over expenditures had only been
maintained since the last quarter of 1885,
but had more than doubled in amount. As
a result, dividend of 10 per cent of the
principal of the advances of the guarantee
fund had been paid. The board congratu-
lated the membership on the great pro-
gress made during the year toward the ac-
complishment of the original and proper
purpose of the Associated Press-the con-
troll and administration of the news gather
ing and distributing business of the conn
try by the newspapers Of the country.

The speech was inserted in the Record by
unanimous consent, and, to be entirely
fair, Senator Villas was more punctillous
than was really necessary. He saw both
Senator Teller and Senator Cockrell before

Demaraland, German Southwest Africa.
Dr. kayser, chief of the colonial office.
declared that, In the opinion of the gov
ernment, Germany should never abandon
her possessions in Southwest Africa, and
expressed the hope that reinforcements of
HOO troops would be sent there by the end
of the month.
Dr. kayser denied that Germany's ac-
tion was intended to aid the British, say
ing that it was intended to maintain Ger
man rule there and was of general DO
litical Importance.
At the conclusion of the debate, during
which Herr Richter and others opposed

POSTPONED ACTION,
Senator MOrEnn's Joint Cuban Reso.
lutfop Again Considered.

Senator Morgsn's joint Cuban resolution
again engaged the attention of the Sena le
committee on foreign relations today, but
action was again postponed. The commit
tee are considering the question in the light
of the recent occurrences in Cuba involving
American citizens, and in order to act in
telligently feel that 1t is necessary to have
all the information obtainable on the sub
ject, especially that bearing upon the re-
cent construction of the treaty of 1875 and
the protocol. They have, therefore, decided
not to act until the State Department can
be commuI icated with.
Senator Morgan entered protest at to-
days meeting against this course of pro-
ceeding, oontending for Independent action
by Congress, and urging that the State
Department could have very little or no
information which was not already in the
possession Of the commit tee.
