letter from me to that official, they
were recognized as Christian evangelists
and followed to the Yamen and repeated
1y threatened with death. There were
many calls for knives to kill themselves
with. The official was absent from the
city so they did not see him. They &C
tually suffered no physical violence but
that was doubtless only because OF their
own patience and forbearance.
All about us were men actively stirring
! up feeling against us saying that we are
poisoning the wells and many villages
have already purchased native medicines
to put into the wells to counterfeit the
effect of the supp sed poisons. The recent
rains which you have had in Pekin have
not reached this part of the country and
hence as no farming can be done the peo-
pie are idle and distressed at having no
crops and consequently easily mtsled by
the designing men who are actively pro-
pagating this society.
The I-Hc-C' Huan is spreading like
wildfre over this district. Where two
months ago it was practically unknown
today there are scores of active societies,
which are rapidly becoming aggressive
ones and unless your excellency can Sc
cure the immediate and vigorous action
of the Chinese government in suppre IS
ing it and in furnishing few ring-lead-
ers, it is possible, humanely speaking,
that it is only question of very short
time until there will be violent upris-
ing in all this district, I believe that it
is not yet too late to suppress it, if taken
hold of in earnest by the Chinese Off
cials; but in my judgment, and have
passed through several such experiences
in my ten OF more years in China, there
is not day to spare.
Praying your excellencies kind offices
on our behalf, Jam your obedient SER
want.

FROM MINISTER CONGER.
Important Disclosures as to Events
Previous to Outbreak.


Washington, July S.-The last China
mail to reach the state department
brought the report Of Minister Conger,
perhaps the last that will ever come to
hand. This bears date of Pel1in, May 81.
Tt is of the utmost Importance, disclos-
ing as it does a full comprehension OF
the character and extent of The Boxer
uprising, even though Mr.. Conger him
self by disposition optimistic, found
some reason to hope that the worst was
over at that date. What Mr.. Conger has
to say as to the attitude of the Chinese
government toward the Boxer movement
as revealed in the formal Interchange
that took place between himself and
Tsung Ii Yamen is not only of peculiar
interest now but will probably have a
strong bearing on the final reckoning
that must be had between the civilized
nations and the Chinese. Mr.. Conger
makes it very clear through the publica-
ton of the French priests letter that
at least one and probably all OF the Eu-
ropean nations having interests in north
ern China we're acquainted with the dan
gers of the situation at least two or three
weeks before the actual outbreak in
Pekin. The correspondence referred to
follows:
Legation of the United States of Ameri-
Ca, Pekin, China, May 81.
To the Honorable John Hay, Secretary
of State, Washington, D. C,
Sir-I have the honor to confirm, on
the over-leaf, my cipher telegram of to-
day.
In response to the request of the French
minister the dean called a meeting of the
diplomatic corps yesterday and upon
information furnished in a letter from
Catholic bishop in Pekin and verbal
reports by other ministers, the situation
was considered SO grave that the dean
was instructed to present it to the Tsung
Iii Yanen and demand immediate ana
effective measures, which he did today
by note copy of which is enclosed.
l also enclose copies of the bishop S
letter and also one from Rev. Mr.. KilIie,
an American missionary, who lives in
Pekin, but travels a circuit to the north
and east.
On the 18th inst. during an extended
personal interview with the Tsung Ii
Yamen, l called their attention to the
fact that notwithstanding constant war
ings from this and other legations the
Boxers had continually increased and
spread until they were now boldly organ
izing inside the walls OF Pel6in the ex-
istence of thousands is known in the
villages around Pekin Christian con
verts are being prosecuted and threatened
everywhere, many forced to recant their
religious professions and some of have
been compelled to abandon their chapels
and come to Pekin for safety.
1t is said at a London mission near Chou
Chow, 40 miles west of Pekin, two ma
tive Christians have been killed and
their chapel destroyed Near Pao Ting

Trouble With Mohave Indians.

Last Saturday afternoon Prof. j. J.
Nc DIN, of Fort Mohave, came to
Kingman and lodged complaint with
Judge Ceilings charging several Mo-
have Indians, male and female, with
battery. The facts Of the affair are
that some time ago orders were re-
ceived at the school to detain all
school children at the school during
vacation. The custom had been to
allow the little ones to go home dur
ing the two months vacation and the
new rule caused feeling of resent
ment among the tribe. Last week sew
eral children played "hooky" and one
of the teachers was sent after the
truants. When the teacher arrived at
the home of the rnnaways and de-
manded that they be returned to the
school the Irdians refused and by way
Of emphasizing the refusal set upon
and beat him numerically. The
teacher returned to Mohave and re-
ported the rough usage he had re
ceived. Prof McKoin concluded he
would 90 himself and bring back the
children, but received severe drub
bing at the hands of the children
parents. He was hit on the head will
piece of cordwood and would have
been badly injured had one of the ole
chiefs not interfered. Four indians
and one squaw, who were the leader
in the mutiny were arrested and ar
now in the Kingman Jail awaiting
hearing.
Prof. McKoin took back TO the schoo
twenty enfield rifles aud will be read
to suppress another revolt of the kim
in short order.
