THE TRAGEDY At LIENCHoW.
No Boycott, no Race Feeling, But a
Personal Quarrel Led 10 the
Killing Of tho Five American
Missionaries.
(By the Associated Press,


Washington, Nov. 15.-NO boycott,
no race feeling, but mere personal
quarrel was the cause of the death of
the five American Presbyterian mis-
sionaries recently at LienchoW, in
China. according TO the report made
today to Secretary Root by Sir Chen
.tung LANG Cheng, the Chinese Minis
ter here. The report, which is from
the viceroy of the provinces of l<Wang-
tung and Kwangsi, says in part:
1.-The American consul at Canton is
inclined to connect this affair with the
boycOtt movement with the view of
making the most of the situation. 1t
was found that the trouble originated
in standing dispute between Ir.
Machle, and the Catholic converts. On
October IS, a festival was being cele-
brated outside the city of LienchoW
near a hospital connected with the
American missionary establishment st
that place. A platform built for the
occasion happened TO encroach slightly
upon the ground belonging TO the
American Missionary Society. DR..
Machle desired its removal and seized
three consecrated cannons on the al
tar. This act excited the indignation
of the village people and brought on
IA riot
The Viceroys say all the evidence
taken tended TO show that the trouble
had no connection With the boycott
movement.

ALL VISITORS
CAN GET SEATS
Carolina Virginia Game
Well Managed No
ScaIper Business.

To the Editor: The following ar
ticle under the caption ''Scalpers Get
Tickets for the Virginia Carolina
Game at Norfolk, Grand Stand Near
ly Sold" appeared in the Charlotte,
n. c.. Chronicle. November 9th. 1905.
stating that majority of the grand
stand tickets had been sold to scalp
ers who would hold them for high
prices, the article is as follows:
&c. rcuit letter issued by the Sea-
board states that a majority Of the
grand-stand tickets for the Virginia
Carolina game at Norfolk, Va,
Thanksgiving day, have been sold to
scaIpers who Will hold them for high
prices. The tickets were put on sale
last week at Norfolk. and besides those
reserved Tor the students of the two
Univers ties and few purchased by
the Scaboard for their patrons, every
seat in the grand-stand was gobbled in
by the scalpers.
The fact that the scaIpers have
so many tickets is thought to indl-
cate that they have a White Elephant
on their hands and will be afraid to
hold them for big profits. All of
these seats sell for $1.00 and $1.50
regularly.
Tickets to the blcachers will not be
reserved, but general admission tick
cts 10 them will be sold on the
grounds the day of the game.
TT is understood that the scalpers
have in their possession 1000 or
5000 tickets"
The above is Il story out of the
whole cloth and great injustice TO
the management of Lafayette Field
Association who are endeaVoring to
conduct the sale Of seats for this game
in the interest of the spectators as
we'll as the teams and themselves.
AS a matter of fact not one seat
as far as We know has been sold TO
Speculator and those that the Sea-
board claims ito have purchased for
their patrons" were sent to Mr. 9. FL.
Gattis with the distinct understand
ing that they would be put on sale
at the various agencies and sold TO any
one applying for the same regardless
of which route they intended To use
in going to Norfolk.
The price OF all seats for this game
will be >$l.50. and not $l.00 and $3.50
as mentioned in the above circular;
the $1.00 ticket is for general ad-
mission only which entities the holder
To standing room only.
While it is true there has been a
very gratifying advance sale, the ca
pacity of the field is ample TO take
care of the crowd, the chief adVant-
age in buying the seat III advance will
be TO avoid the rush at the last
minute in getting a seat at the box
office. While we expect an enormous
crowd, arrangements have been pade
to handle comfortably everybody who
will come.
