VENT SPITE ON THE MISSIONS
Hungry Chinese Getting Beyond Con-
troll, Three Missions Having Been
Destroyed, But No Lives Lost.

Shanghai rioting of natives at
Changsha continues. Already three
missions, all situated on the main
street near the Rice shops, have been
destroyed and fears for the safety of
the other missions are entertained.
1t is reported that the governor was
injured during the attack upon the
Yaimen, but so far as known there
has been no loss of life. The provin-
cial treasurer has asked the govern
ment to supply rice to the natives in
the hope of quieting them. The scar
city of rice due to its having been
cornered was the chief cause of the
outbreak. Recently the i'll feeling has
been increased by an active foreign
propaganda in which the lives of for
eigners were threatened. Another
grievance was the fact the British
consulate was constructed by import
ed labor

Will Not Be Candidate for Reelection
to the Senate.

hington-Senator Aldrich has
authorized the announcement that he
would not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the senate, and that he would
positively retire at the expiration OF
his present term on March 3, 1911
Mr.. Aldrch talked freely of his deter
mination TO retire. Ill health alone
dictated his decision. During his ser
vices in the Civil war he had long
siege Of typhoid fever and as result
of that illness he has suffered period
ically with intestinal trouble. These
dscomforts have manifested them
selves when he has worked particu'
larly hard and have caused him con
siderable worry.
A week ago the senator went to
New York, where he consulted with
his physicians. They were insistent
that he rid himself of the more exact
ing of his burdens and devote large
share of his time to outdoor exercises
He could see no way to lead such a
life if he accepted another term OF
six years in the senate, and therefore
he will retire.
