Of these events was contained in sew

this morning from Consul Rodgers. 1t
is gathered that the moving causes for
the riots wer the anti-Americau boy
colt and a general feeling of hostility
toward foreigners such as preceded
the boxer uprising of 1900. Mr. Rod
gers statement was that all business
was suspended among the Chinese;
that as an incident to the general
strike number of foreigners had been
assaulted. Volunteers had been called
out, presumably from the people in the
foreign settlements, whose efforts at
maintaining order were seconded by
English marines. At the hour of send
ing the first dispatch. probably some
time last night. two Chinese had been
killed in the riots and the American
consul general had telegraphed for
help from the American naval vessels.

source reported the continuance OF the

lice stations had been burned and 4
number OF people killed, probably
about thirty, including some of the
foreigners. No Americans, however.
had been harmed up to that moment.
and the streets were being guarded by
the volunteers and the naval forces.
Mr.. Rodgers last word was that he

Work on Morovia Test Road
Going Ahead Rapidly.

MoNRovIA, Md Sept. IL.
The new pike contracted for by
the M. j. Grove Lime Company

vision of the Geological Survey,
and sub-let to George B. Wade,
beginning at New Market via
MOnrOvia, thence beyond Monro.
via school house, a disla uce of one
and fourteenth miles, begins to
show a mark of much improve
ment, and promises when com
pleted to be one of the finest roads
in the county.
The stone used for the piking is
furnished by the NJ. j. Grove Lime
Company, crushed at their mills
and shipped in cars to Monrovia.
The County Commissioners and
chief engineer will meet here to-
day to discuss and complete the
necessary arrangements relative
to water courses, culverts, bridges,
etc., which are very important
factors, owing to the immense vol
ume of water that flows during
every heavy rainfall. Careful at
tention should be given to every
detail before final action is taken,
thereby removing as far as posi-
BILE the after expense that will
surely follow if adequate provi.
sion be not made to let the water
pass. The people wait, with eager
anticipation, to learn the final de-
cision. Owing to the delay in the
construction of the new road
, travel has been suspended from
New Market to Monrovia, and the
old road known as the "Quaker
Road" is being used. Through
the courtesy of our Commissioners
and Mr.. j. Roger McSherry, a
Waterman is safeguarding the
public thoroughfare across the b.
& o. r. II. from 6 a. m. until 8
O'Clock at night. Anyone having
occasion to travel this road before
and after this time should be very
cautious as this crossing is dan
gerous one.
