PROBABLE ESCAPE OF OCCUPANTS American Consul Has Requested the Viceroy to Afford Protection. © HEARFUL STORM IN JAPAN VANCOUVER, B. C., June 30.—Late mail advices from Japan say that serious civil Gisturbances are report2d in China. People at Wulu and in Fukien province are in 2 state of unrest, and warships have keen sent to the former port and to Foo Chow. Riots have broken out in Canton, and there has be2n serious rioting at Ning Po. The black flags are in revolt. It is reported in Shanghai that the Amer- ican mission establishment at Tong Chow, near Wu Chow, has been attacked by a mob, looted and burned. There is no news of any of the missionari2s being killed, so it is probable they escaped in boats. Mr. Glover is in charge of the mission at Tong Chow. The viceroy has been requested by the American consul to instruct the pref2ct of Wu Chow to dispatch troaps to quell the disturbances and afford proper protection to the missionaries. Another Revolt. Matsallet, the rebellious Kornee chief, has revolt2d again. He has formed an alliance with an inland tribe which has 5,000 fight- ing men. H.M.S. Plover has sailed for Borneo. The president of the Japanese Central Tea Guild has telegraphed President Mc- Kinlzy that the tax on tea will check com- merce between Japan and America, and ought, therefore, to be reconsidered. | Five thousand tea firers will be put out of em- ployment in cons>quence of the duty. 2 The district surrounding Yokohama was ed by a fearful storm June 5. Tae rivers Yoshida, Oka and Canal overflowed, submerging a part of Olomachi, the whole of Aioche, Sumiyiohicho and | Onoyeoho. At Jinyumote several houses collapsed and four men were killed. A bridge over the Banu river was washed away, besides a part of the embankment at Hadui, where two persons lost their lives. At Tokyo 224 houses were flooded. Similar reports have been received from Aichi, Abaraki, Miyo, Saitama and Nagano pre- fectures. On Yayoyama Island, one of the Lecchoo group, seven hundred houses were damaged, while the wheat plantations suf- fered to such an extent that production will probably be reduced to 7 per cent. Plans of Russia. Dispatches received by Shangha! man- darins from Tien Tsin state that the Rus- sian consul at that port has received in- structions from the Russian authorities at Port Arthur and Ta Lien Wan to the cf- fect that In future any foreigners desiring to visit the last named place must first obtain special passports from the Russian corsul. A significant sign which points clearly to the ultimate plans of Russia in regard to Manchuria {s the heading of Rus- sian official documents, which makes the Ressian governor of Siberia also governor of Port Arthur, Ta Lien Wan and their dependencies.

The Deciding Game Betwen Yale and Harvard. The deciding game of the series between the Yale and Harvard nines will be played Saturday afternoon at. the polo grounds, New York. Regarding Tuesday's game at New Haven the New York Journal says: Harvard was clearly outplayed at every point by her old rival and was defeated to the tune of 7 to 0. The crowd present, numbering about 1,000 persons, was typical of the season, with throngs of old “grads” and scores of pretty girls. Each class celebrating its reunion was heade@ by a brass band, and the happy graduates came onto the field eight- abreast with arms outst: hed and hands on one another's shouldef’. They did a serpen- tine dance across the diamond to the seats reserved for them on the bleachers. Sev- eral of the classes were attired in white duck suits, with hats to match. ‘There were eight bands in attendance, and between the innings they kept up a medley of all the popular airs, each band trying to play louder than the other. - Before the close of the fourth inning black clouds appeared in the west and soon after a drizzling rain set in, which lasted but a short time.
