Rev. S. I. Woodbridge, a Presbyterian
missionary, who has been at Chin Kiang,
on the Yang-tse river for the past 10
years, arrived on the Copto today from
Shanghai with his wife and six children
on furlough. He expects to return to
Chin Kiang when the present troubles
are over. Chin Kiang is known as the
Chicago of China and is $50 miles VI
the Yang-tse river from Shanghai at the
entrance of the great canal, The popula-
ton of the city consists of 300 900 Chinese
and about 5000 foreigners The city, as
we'll IS all other cities and towns along
the Yang-tse, was greatly excited and
on the verge of an uprising when Mr.
Woodbridge left Chin Kiang on June 49,
In fact day had been fixed for the de-
struction of all property owned by for
eigners, and the murder of foreigners
themselves, and Mr. Woodbridge believes
that by this time a terrible fate has
met those foreigners who failed to heed
this warning and flee from the impending
massacre.
"It would be difficult to estimate the
number of foreigners along the Yang-ts
river he said to-day. There are litern
ally thousands of missionaries in the
