Wednesday the reciprocity treaties
with France. Nicaragua. Ecuador and
the Dominion Republuic. and the four

Barbadoes. British Guiana and Turks
and Coicos Islands. Unfavorable re-
ports were made on the treaty with
Argentine and the treaty with Great
Britain covering jamaica. The de-
feat OF the Argentina treaty was large.
~ due TO the desire of the committee
to protect wool growers from competi.
tion by the Argentine growers. All
the treaties favorably reported are ac-
companied with a provlso that they
shall not take effect until approved
by Congress.
The House Wednesday passed the

10000 REBELS IN ARMS
Outbreak In Northern China Dlsturbs
Work Of Gospel Emissarles- Or
eanized by Boxer Leader.

There are n number of missionaries,
of whom 60 are Roman Catholics, in
the district of Southern Chi Ii, where
the latest revolt has broken out. The
best Informed people say 10000 rebels
are under arms. The cannons and
rifles they have are believed to have
been imported since the signing OF
the treaty by which the powers
pledged themselves not to send fire.
arms into the country. II is known
that the provincial troops who garrl.
soned the district under General Ma
and General Tou are inferior to the
rebels and are falling back. The
rebels have been organized by Chen,
a Boxer leader. who is connected with
a leading family OF Paoting-Fu. A
Colonel and 80 men of the troops OF
Viceroy Yuan Shih Kai have been cut
to pieces by rebels in the region about
Weihsien. A thousand regular troops
left PaotingFu and another thousand
including 500 mounted men, started to
reinforce the troops In the disturbed
district. These were ordered to use
the most extreme measures. and TO
burn everything and behead all rebels
until the uprising had been eradicated.
A large district is affected. Mr.. Con.
ger. the American minister sent a
telegram to Rev. Mr.. Houlding. an
American missionary. and two others
advising them to avoid the disturbed
region. II is understood, however,
that the people are now at Tanning Flu,
where, 1t Is thought. there are sufii.
cient troops to protect them. A ca.
blegram received at the State Depart.
ment at Washington from Minister
Conger states that there are serious
disturbances in the Southern portion
of the province OF Chi Ii. In which
Pekin Is situated. The first troops
sent there were worsted. but the Cice.
roy was dlspatching sufficient force
to suppress the rioters.
