BOMBAY A Scene OF RIOT.
FANATICAL MOB AROUSED TO
FRENZY AGAINST CHRISTIANS.
Most Serious Outbreak in Many
Years-Mohammed ans Shot Down
by Police. and Two British Sol
diers kilIed-TrOops Called Ont.

LONDON. March "a special dispatch
from Bombay says that a riot broke out
at noon among the low caste Hlndoos and
Mohammedans against Europeans.
The trouble arose through a plague
party inquIring into the cause OF the sick
ness OF Mohammedan woman. An enor-
nous crowd OF castemen gathered and
stoned ana mobbed the party, which re-
tired for an escort of police. and then Re-
turned and re-demanded the surrender OF
the patient. which was refused. A parsse
magistrate who exhorted the popugace no;
to resist the police was himself struck
whereupon he ordered the police to
charge. They did 50. and four Moham-
medans We're killed and several wounded.
The disturbance spread with alarming
rapidly. until the whole quarter around
the Bhendi bazaar presented A spectacle
similar 10 that of the riots OF 1893. The
Mohammedans, who were Joined by the
Hindoos. assaulted every European and
Eurasian they met. and A hysterical mob
attacked the European dwellings in the
suburbs Of Byceliau. The residents bar
ricaded themselves in their houses and
fired blank cartridges from their windows,
which drove the rioters off.
In the meantime troops We're hurried 10
the scene. and a body OF artillery is now
patrolling the Bhendi bazaar.
The outbreak was specially directed
against Christians. 1t is rumored that
two European soldiers were nearly killed.
but IL is difficult TO obtain correct de-
tails.
The excitement has partially subsidized
this evening. but the situation is still re-
garded as serious. Cavalry has been or
dered from Poonah to assist in patrolling
the streets. and the volunteers have been
called out. The city is in the hands OF
the military.
The two members of the Shropshire reg
iments who were killed were walking un-
armed. The mob battered in their skulls.
Many European officers and many po-
hcemen were roughly handled and severe
~ injured In several instances Europe
ans who were traversing the native sec
ton of the town alone were beaten or
stabbed. Some were dangerously Injured.
In various parts of the city plague am
balances were seized and burned. At
tempts were made TO burn the hospitals
and the European nurses had narrow es-
capes. Finally they We're escorted TO a
place of safety by the troops. The mob
attacked the Jamsetiee hospital. and badly
wounded Mr. Gillespie. the house surgeon.
but was repulsed by rife volieys. Sew
erai OF the rioters were killed.
The total losses of the rioters are yet
unknown. but the outbreak Is regarded AZ
the most alarming that has occurred IN
India in many years.

HAINAN RAIDED BY BANDITS
MurderouS Bands Engage In n Week
OF SIauGhter-NOw Strong
Nv Barricadeu.

VANCOUVER, Il. c.. March 9-Advices
from the Orient say that a state of an
archy prevails on the island of Hainan.
Outlaws TO the number Of GOO have raided
eleven military camps and twenty light
villages numbering and footing in their
course. 1t is impossible TO describe the
triumphant march of murder and lust
through peaceful pastoral towns surround
ing the city OF kiachow.
After a week of slaughter the anarchists
grew weary and thought OF safety. They
erected barbados In the mountains be-
hind kiachow and stored up enough pro-
visions TO last them a year.
A greatly superior force Of military Is
being modified for the purpose OF clear
ing them out.

THEY FAVOR ST. LOUIS.
SEVERAL RAILROAD LINES WON'T
SIGN THE AGREEMENT.
They Want scabonrd-Texns Rates
Made Satisfactory for the Mis-
souri, MetrOpOlis-Notes.

The Missouri Pacific has refused to be-
come a party to the new agreement of the
Southwestern lines without more satis-
factory adjustment Of soahoard rates TO
Texas, says the New York Commercial.
1t insists on a cancellation of the emer-
gency rates which were put into effect
when the war precipitated by the advent
of the Lone Star Steamship line was be-
gun. They are still used by the Morgan
line, which is controlled by the Southern
Pacific, and continues to receive freight at
its wharf in New York. which is trans
ported via the Pennsylvania and The Cape
Charles route over the Southern to New
orleans, whence 1t is carried by the South
ern Pacific to Texas points. Under these
conditions the st. Louis market is placed
at disadvantage on Texas business.
The Missouri Pacific, therefore, insists
that the old differential must be restored In
the interest of st. Louis. on the ground
that 1t is the leading market for the
Southwest. In this 1t has the support OF
the St. Louis and san Francisco. the Cot
hon Belt. and, in fact. all the ST. Louis
lines. The new agreement
IS to take effect next Tuesday. but in view
