to lie in the fact that Chinese Off
cials cornered the rice market and
exported much of the rice.
1t is rumored however, that the
cause lies much deeped and that II
rice riot" merely was used as an
excuse to inflame the fury of the
Chinese against the missionaries.
For some time there has been 4
noticeable unrest among them, and
Christians have been the target for
much abuse.
Many persons here, who are ac
quainted with the custofs of the
coolie class, declare that the rioting
probably was caused by the stories
of the approach of Halley's comet.
The ignorant laborers are greatly
alarmed over the comets approach,
which they fear has been sent to
punish them.
In seasons of fear they always
try to propitiate the gods by killing
the Foreign devils, say old-tlme
residents.
The missionaries who lives were
sought by the infuriated Chinese
are: Rev. Robert Warren, Rev. w,
H. Watson, Rev. Comper, Mrs. Com
per.
All of them are Methodists.
The mission has 700 converts at
Chang Sha.
There is danger that the mob will
turn on the converts and attack
them.
No reports have been received of
any other attacks on missionaries in
Chang Sha.
