RELIGIOUS WAR IN CHINA.



Victoria, b. c., April 19-Late Chi
nese aGvces say that news comes from
Lanchou. capital OF Kansu province
that the Mohammedans to the north
west of the city known as the Salmuns
have rebelled. The green sacred banner
of the prophet has been unfurled by
their akhoon, or chief mollah, and word
has been sent to all the Mohammedan
townships in Kansu, Shenshi and Chi
nese Turkestan to wage war to the
knife on Buddhist unbelievers. A tele-
gram from the governor, Jao, OF Chinese
Turkestan, whose capital is Urnmsti,
: has also been received at Picking, re-
porting considerable unrest among the
Tunganis (Chinese Mohammedans) and
Trantchis in Kuldja and Turks in
Kashgara.
A later dispatch from Viceroy Tao Of
kansu has been received at Picking re-
porting the massacre of more than 30
Chinese Buddhists by rebel Lalah Mo-
hammedans A general outbreak is
feared with the return of warm weather
in April or May, when communication
becomes easier, unless a strong army is
assembled in kansu. The viceroy COM
planned of the withdrawal to Picking Of
Generals Tung Fuchsiang and Chang
Chun with their best troops, whose san
culinary battles for the last 20 years
against the Mohammedans have made
them greatly feared by the latter not
only in kansu, but also in Chinese Tur-
kestan, and that In consequence the
whole northwest is practically defense
less and at the mercy of the Moham-
medans if they should unite and rebel.

AT this time when the city Of Barre is
on the verge of taking one of the most
important steps in the history of its
financial management it may be proper
to make few inquiries regarding the
value of the Barre Water Company's
plant which is now under discussion
among our City Fathers, who are, it is
understood, striving to make settle
ment with the present owner or owners.
In the first place it would seem that the
value of that plant should be estimated
somewhat, if not entirely, according to
its earning capacity. Well then, will
this property earn for the city of Barre
any more than ten per cent. interest on
$4,000? Is there any competition ?
and finally is there any possibility that
the wise City Fathers can be contemp-
lating. during these secret sessions that
have of late been so frequent, any plan
whereby the city of Barre shall be
obliged to pay the price set by Mr..
Goodhue or is there any possibility that
they (our City CounciD will agree to
any such sum as $4,000 or more
Our loyal competitor around the corner
may say give them $4,000 or even
sl25, 900 if they ask it, for that will be
for the best interests of the city Barre
first and the rest of the world after
wards but we would take the stand of
advocating the payment Of q sum moi
o exceed one single penny over and
above the value of the property to this
,ity.
