Fears an Outbreak Within n Short Time and Loss of Life and BIoodshed- Governor Tanner Notified-Troops to Protect the Lives and Property of Citizens.

Springfield, H., Sept.

Pana. H., Sept. 29.-Great excite ment prevailed here to-day as a result of last nights street riot between the imported negro miners and the union miners. The principal streets were fill- ed with miners and citizens armed to the teeth. The negro arrested last night who attempted to kill Policeman Smith and whose arrest started the riot, failed to appear in court to-day for trial. Mine Operator George V. Penwell who gave bail for the negro, also failed to appear. Warrants were issued to-day for all the negroes con- cerned in the riot. How many negroes were wounded and how severely cannot be learned. No one is permitted to en- ter the negro stockades and the opera tors refuse to give out any information. E. F. Bishop, a bystander, is the only white citizen wounded. The negroes have not shown up on the streets to- day and it is thought the operators will keep them within the stockades until the excitement subsidies.

 Pekin, via Shanghai, Sept. 29.-The development of palace affairs confirm the belief that the emperor by the radical reform which he had decreed prepared himself for the blow struck by the dowager empress. The succes ssive edicts furnish a history of the trend of affairs. The emperor's chief adviser Kang-Yuwei obtained unbounded influ- ence over him and inspired the reforms. The official classes opposed him and consulted the dowager empress as to means of nullifying these reforms. The current report is that the immediate cause of the emperor's downfall was that he appeared one day in European clothes. This offense, it appears, was aggravated by the arrival in China of Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman, which alarmed the palace officials as foreshadoWing Japanese domination in the empires counsels, thereupon the dowager empress acted with wonderful promptness and deposed her nephew
 
 that she had left the summer palace.
 Rang Yuwei fled. His followers were arrested to-day. The dowager empress has issued an edict ordering that Rang YuWei be kept under surveillance until further orders and his degradation is certain. Another edict calls Kang-Yu wei a conspirator but does not describe the nature of his conspiracy and orders his followers, including his brother, to be examined. Hsuying-K' Ouci, whose dismissal from the foreign office was secured by the British minister some time ago on the ground of bad faith, has been re-appointed. The announce ment of the emperor's death is expect ed soon and the dowager empress is likely to appoint f1gurehead as his successor, retaining the real power her. self. One report says the empress has strong views regarding Russian az gression in Manchuria and that though she is likely to restore Lii Hung Chang to power is not likely to countenance his Russian leanings.
 Yokohama, Sept 29.-A dispatch from Bahan announces the arrival there of the Chinese refugee Kang Yu- wei, the Canton reformer, who recently escaped from Pekin, and also his arrest by the Japanese authorities. A new premier, named Sitsunbak, has been appointed in Corea. The rebels have attacked government officers on the is- land of Formosa and set fire to build ing in which they were located. They fled, however, on the approach of the troops and the latter attacked the rebels in that district, burning a num- her of villages
