So Says Bishop Bashfo"d Concerning
Disturbances in China.
San Francisco, April 14.-Bishop j.
w. Bashford, who has arrived here
from Shanghai, says, concerning con.
ditions in China:
THE reports Of disturbances in Chi
ma have been greatly exaggerated in
the United States, There have been
three riots in the empire since the in
auguration of the American boycott a
year ago. In the Shanghai riot, not
foreigner was killed, although a
score or more were wounded At Ii
angchon five Americans were killed.
At Nanchang six French subjects and
three English subjects We're killed, and
a day or two following the riot more
than a score of Chinese lost their lives
in wild stampede made by them to
escape through the city gates and on
boats on reports that foreign gunboats
were coming to destroy their city.
Each of these riots was due to local
causes, and similar causes would have
produced at least two of them even in
the United States.
THE Chinese generally are friendly
to Americans. A proof that the Chi
nese are not hostile to Protestant mis-
sions is found in the fact that our hos.
pitfalls are crowded The general rail
way Of Nanchang, a city of a million
Inhabitants, where the recent riot took
place, have presented to us five acres
Of ground inside the city walls and
raised 5000 taels for the erection of a

woman educated in America.

The ground is frozen too hard to grub

been sold, and some are having to g.
to other parts to buy hay. Now where

that they could not even give IL away.
A certain man was heard to make that
remark last fall at baling time. Baled
hay cannot be brought for less than
from Sl2 to $14 per ton, and loose hay
from sll to sl3 PEI ton, and very
scarce at that. Raise all the hay you
can, it will sell. We have heard the
cry for the last three years that people
are going into the hay business toe
heavy. But nevertheless hay still sells
at good price.
