The New York inas arrived at Copen- bagen, Denmark, the last port she will go to before the Kiel celebration, MILLIONS WERE LOST No Massacre of Missionaries in China. THE MOB ENCOURAGED BY OFFICIALS Preparing for the Celebration at Kiel. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS SHANGHAI, June 11.—The report of the total destruction of the missions at Cheng- tu, Kiating and Yochou has been confirmed. The local officials refused protection to the missionaries until the mob had completed the work of demolishing the buildings. The mission stations at other places have been threatened. About twenty adults, besides a number of children, have taken refuge at Chengtu and Yamen. Viceroy Lin is blamed for the affair. The less of property amounts to several million dollars. The Chinese officials, it is charged, headed by the viceroy of the prov- ince of Szchuen, openly encouraged the mobs to all sorts of outrages. NEW YORK, June l1.—The following cablegram of today’s date from Rev. J. R. Hykes, at Shanghai, has been received at the oflice-of the Methodist Missionary So- ciety, in this city: “Property at Chengtu destroyed. Mission- aries all safe.” “These advices,” said Dr. Baldwin, the recording secretary of the society, “are of- ficial, and while confirming reports of prop- erty loss, should set at rest the rumors of the massacre of missionaries. There was no massacre. CRUISERS the Austro-Hungarian . Squadron. KIEL, Germany, June 11.—The Austro- Hungarian squadron, consisting of four cruisers, commanded by the Archduke Charles Stephan, which is to take part in the ceremonies planned to celebrate the opening of the Baltic and North Sea canal, entered the roadstead today. It was greet- ed with salutes and cheers. PARIS, June 11.—The proposed visit of a French squadron to Kiel in order to take part in the ceremonies attending the open- ing of the Baltic and North Sea canal con- tinues to create much comment, in spite of the explanation made by M. Henoteaux, the minister for foreign affairs, in the chamber of deputies yesterday. The radi- cal and socialist newspapers persist in de- claring that the visit of the French war- ships to Kiel is not justified. On the other hand, the conservative newspapers hold that the gevernment could not decline Germany’s invitation, but they express the opinion that the French ambassador at Berlin, M. Herbette, should have pre- vented the invitation from being sent. LONDON, June 11.—Mr. and Mrs. Glad- stone have boarded a steamer which sails tomorrow for Hamburg and thence goes to Kiel, in order to enable its passengers to witness the opening of the Baltic and Nerth Sea canal. SUPPORTED CRISPI'S MAN. AT KIEL. Arrival of Sigver Villa Favored for President of the Italian Chamber.

Villa, who was one of the vice presidents of the recent chamber of depu- ties. The proposition of the premier was unanimously adopted. The opposition can- didate is Onorato Caetani, Duke of Ser- moneta, also one of the vice presidents of the recent chamber of deputies. INSULTED KING LEOPOLD. An Abusive Crank im the Gallery of the Belgium Chamber. BRUSSELS, June 1i.—During the debate in the chamber of deputies today a man who was in the public gallery suddenly commenced shouting out insulting words regarding King Leopold and the ministry. He was promptly expelled and was taken into custody by the pulice. ABANDONED THE PASSENGERS. The Crew of a British Vessel Saved Themselves. ST. MALO, France, June 11.—News has been received here of the abandonment on fire, and with her passengers on board, of a British vessel, the Why Not, bound for the Island of Jersey, and loaded with fod- der. The crew of the Why Not, it appears, deserted the passengers when the vessel caught fire, and, taking to the boats, suc- ceeded in landing at Erauy, department of the Cotes Du Nord, not far from here. These are all the particulars obtainable. The fate of the passengers of tne Why Not is not known. Floods iu France.

Kiilian of this FARMERS AT THE MARKET.* A Committee Appointed to Confer With the Commissioners. The farmers who raise produce and dis- pese of it on a large scale in the Center and other Washington markets met at the American House this morning for the pur- pose of appointing from the original com- mittee of seventeen, chosen at a meeting held last week, a conference committee of three members to act in conjunction with an advisory committee of two members in waiting upon the Conimissioners of the District to find out their attitude in regard to the acquisition of the hay market square, situated between B street and Little B street and 10th and 12th streets northwest, by the wholesale produce dealers. There were present at the meeting Messrs. G. G. Curtis, B. F. Joy, R. B. Howison, Charley Churchman, O. S. Pullman, Benjamin Bag- gett, —— Herdbower, S. Wright, J. C. Victor Byer and A. Miller. This same committee met last week at the same place, the proceedings being re- corded in The Star, and resolutions were adopted which provided for this meeting. After the object of the meeting tpday was stated by Mr. Sam Howison, who gave 4 short history of the meetings and a comprehensive view of the situation, the organization of the committee was begun. Mr. G. G. Curtis was elected president, or chairman of the meeting; Mr. B. F. Joy, secretary, and Mr. R. B. Howison, treas- urer. This made an entirely new com- mittee, and the papers and funds were ac- cordingly turned over to them. As the primary object of the meeting was the se- lection of a conference committee, this action was next proceeded with and re- sulted in the choice of Mr. Horace Croser, Mr. G. G. Curtis and Mr. B. F. Joy. As the first named gentleman was not a mem- ber of the original committee of seven- teen his name was substituted on the orig- inal committee in the place of Mr. Kirby, who was absent. It was provided at the former meeting that the committee which should be selected should act with an ad- visory committee, consisting of Col. Wright Rives and Mr. Sam Howison. Consequent- ly, the five who will wait on the Commis- sioners with the resolutions adopted will consist of the five above named and will proceed at the earliest opportunity to ob- tain what every produce farmer in the country near Washingtof is working for. Mr. Sam Howison gave some suggestions and maintained that it was better for all concerned, the buyers as well as the sellers, to occupy the space along the street fronts of the hay market, instead of along B street, thereby overcrowding that thorough- fare to a dangerous and uncomfortable degree. He said that it would make it much easier for the produce dealers, who would be enabled to drive here in the morn- ing instead of at night, and who would not be under the necessity of getting to the market early in order to secure a place under the “first come, first served,” rule. He also pointed out the additional comfort and safety the plan proposed would, in his opinion, give to the consumers who fre- quent the market, and stated that the Commissioners should be informed as soon as possible of the proposed action of the committee.

EVIDENCE AT THE TRIAL There was not much work done in the Chinese laundries today, for aimost every Chinaman in the city was in the vicinity of the Police Court or about “Chinatown,” discussing the gambling cases. When the Police Court convened the audience was made up largely of almond-eyed celestials, and Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny had several of the “fan-tan” players before him to hear what they were going to say in court. When he had finished hearing thelr statements he had some doubt about the testimony they would give in court. He knew the crowd of Chinamen about the court were there to hear what the wit- nesses would say, and he had been told that some of the latter had been threatened that if they swore against their fellow countrymen the members of the Chinese Temperature and condition of water at 8] society would contribute toward’ a fund to defray the expense of doing away with them. They feared the manner adopted of doing away with them might be so effect- ive that they would be able to wash no more clothes. Chinamen Never Play for Fun. When the case of Charlie Hong, repre- senting the Quong Sang Lung Company at $14 Pennsylvania avenue, was called Police- man Hartigan described the raid made Sun- day night, and told of the game of domi- noes that was being played and of the money found on the table. ‘The policeman having concluded his testi- mony, Mr. Muilowny called to the stand a Chinaman named Moy Foon, who was a willing witness. He did not claim that he had ever played a game in the house, but he said he understood the game, and said it was always played for money. “Don’t Chinamen sometimes play for pastime?” Lawyer Moulton asked. “No,” was his answer. “‘Chinamen don’t play for fun.’ Mr. Mullowny then questioned the wit- ness about the Chinese society here, and he said there are two hundred members of the organization. The society, he said, meets on an upper floor of the ‘lefendant’s place. Witness informed court that he is a Christian, and said: “I’m telling the truth before God.” “Do you belong to a church?” “Yes, I belong to the Metropolitan Church.” Ah Sing Tells His Story. Ah Sing, a Chinaman, who says he is a church member, but net a Christian, was next put on the stand, and just what he claimed to know abott the case Judge Miller was unable to understand, When Mr. Mullowny made an effort to examine him about the society and what was béing done toward intimidating wi nesses the Chinaman’s counsel objected, but the court admitted the testimony. Mr. Mullowny, by way of explanation, said he understood that each of the two hundred members had contributed %5 for the purpose of doing away with the gov- ernment’s witnesses. . The witness then went on to tell about the society here, and said there was a move on foot to injure him. He came here from Hoboken because business was dull there, and he had seen games for money played in the defendant's place. “Are you a Christian or a Chinaman?” he was asked by Judge Miller. “I'm not a Christian,” he answered, “but I've been to school and I belong to church. “Didn't you marry an Irish lady?” Mr. Mullowny wanted to know. “I didn’t marry an Irish lad: he an- vered she’s half Irish and half Chinee.” He denied that he was ever a “High- binder,” and said he did not know what was meant by the name. Heard Ah Sing Was to Be Killed. Yi Hing came nex‘, and he was the last witness for the prosecution. He is fifty- eight years old, and is the father-in-law of the preceding witness. Yi lives with his son-in-law, who conducts a laundry on 41% street. He admitted that he was not per- mitted to remain about the Chinese stores, for the reason, he said, that he has no money now. When he was here before and had money he was wanted at these places. “But,” he said, “I've got no money now.’ Why he was called as a witness was not known until he explained that he was in- terested in his son-in-law, whom he had heard the members of the society were go- ing to kill “Do you smoke opium?” Mr. Mullowny asked. “I never smoke.” “Are you a Christian?” “Yes, I belong to the Main Street Church in New York.” “What kind of a church is it “Catholic.” Mrs. Collins for the Defense. This closed the evidence for the prosecu- tion, and when the defendant was called, Mrs. Collins, who has spent many years in China, appeared as interpreter and witness. She had Imown Chinamen for years, and she said that gambling is no more their vice than it is the vice of Americans. She had never seen these Chinamen gambling, but she had heard of gambling at other places. then why don’t you make complaint?” “That's not my business.” __ Mrs. Collins told of her knowledge of the game of ‘‘fan-tan” and told of an alleged blackmailing scheme being carried on by some of the Chinamen. Jim Lee was called for the defense, and he gave evidence calculated to acquit’ any body of any charge. When Mr. Moulton had concluded his examination of the wit- ness he turned him over to Mr. Mullown: who remarked: “I don’t want to cros: examine him, for I wouldn't believe any- thing he would say if he swore on 40,000 chicken heads.” The defendant went on the stand and made a complete denial of the charge. Judge Miller recalled the policeman, and he said there were two tables in the place and there were from eight to twelve China- men at each table. The Chinamen, he said, grabbed the dominoes and money. Dismissed for Want of Dominoes. The officer did not take any of the*dom- inoes or money he saw on the table. Judge Miller thought that the officer should have breught in some evidence other than the Chinamen, who are squab- bling among themselves. When there is trouble among the Chinamen and they come into court they are unworthy of be- ef. Mr. Mullowny argued that he had made out a case and said that if the court would not take this kind of proof he couid not expect to make out a case against a China- -man. Judge Miller reminded him of the defen- dant’s denial that there were any domi- noes in the place, and said this was cor- roborated by the fact that the prosecu- tion did not produce any of them. In con- clusion the court said the government would have to have more prcof than was | produced in this case, and dismissed the charge. The cases of Ah Sing and Chong Lung, charged with a similar offense, were called for trial, but they failed to appear, and their collateral of $0 each was forfeited. ———— Forest Fires Under Control.

Cellulose Tests at Indinn Head. Comparative tests of the cocoa and corn- pith cellulose used in the coffer dams of ships-of-war were conducted at the Indian Head proving grounds yesterday. Two coffer dams were improvised, each six feet square and three feet thick, one of which was filled with cocoa and the other with ccrnpith cellulose, and were so arranged as to be exposed to a water pressure. A six and an eight-inch shell was fired at each dam. Through the two holes made in the eccoa coffer dam a few drops of water trickled, the maximum not reaching a half a gallon per minute. This is regarded as practically nothing in quantity, and would not, It is said, be sufficient to fill a com~- partment in a day. The cornpith cellulose showed up better than the cocoa. It ap- parently closed up more rapidly, and no water at all came through the holes made by the two shots fired at the dam. Al- though the cornpith made a better shows ing than the cocca, yet the naval offloers have not yet recched a final conclusion re+ garding its ccmparative value with the cocoa, as there are questions of durability, etc., that cairnot be determined for some time. z
