2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1895. CAUSED A SENSATION. Father Zurcher Utters Stern Truths to Abstainers. CONVERT THE NATION. That Is the Only Way to Lift Up Catholics Above Liquor Evils. PATRIOTISM AND BUSINESS. Organs of the Union Do Not Give Enough Support to the Movement. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—The delegates to the twenty-fiith convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America begun the second day’s exercises this morning with a solemn requiem mass for the repose of the souls of deceased members. The mass was celebrated " in the church of the Paulist Fathers. The church was filled with worshippers, all ing the blue and silver badges of the The members all seemy to be ly impressed with the seriousness and importance of their mission, and the religious services are fully as well at- tended as the regular meetings of the con- vention. After held in church. the mass a business session was Columbus Hall, just back of tue The session was opened at 10:45 o'clock with prayer by Father Doyle, general secretary. First Vice-president J. Washington Logue presided. Secretary Doyle read the following telegram from Rev. Henry Elliott Mott, president of the Buffalo league: “The Buffalo league for public good prays God’s blessing on your deliberations and urges that you encourage voters to protect the Lord’s day from par- tisan politicians.” The report of the treasurer was then read. It showed that $2842 33 had been re- ceived during the year, and that there was a cash balance on hand at present of The report was received with ap- Rev. Father Zurcher of Buffalo created a great sensation in presenting the report of his nnion. “We have come to the conclusion in Buffalo,” said he, “that the only way to lift up the Catholic people to total abstinence is to convert the entire Nation, and let them carry up the Catholic people with them. We cannot convert Catholics We have also come to the ion that we receive very little help from our Catholic newspapers.” Here Father Zurcher produced a news- paper and read an advertisement: *“Look,” he said, “here is an advertisement for pure rye whisky, and in the next column there isa picture of Cardinal Gibbons.” There was great laughter at this remark. 7ather Zurcher produced another Catho- newspaper and looked over the ad- vertisements. ‘‘Here is another advertise- ment,” said he, excitedly, “for pure rye whisky, and right over it is the picture of the Most Rev. Archbishop Ireland, and this is a Catholic newspaper.” The hall wasin a roar of laughter as Father Zurcher was speaking. He paced up and down the platform excitedly and did not seem to mind the sensation he was creating. Continuing, he said that the Catholic church in America loses 50,000 members annually sacrificed to drink, while the total abstinence membership was only 65,000, “We are told to go slow,” he said in con- clusion, ‘‘ves, go slow until we die. I want to extend the right hand of fellowship to Theodore Roosevelt. He is a man you and I ought to be proud of. Youdo not know how it is. Here you are treated with respect, but it is not so in other cities. And if Mr. Roosevelt asks you to help him in enforcing the Sunday closing law do so in the name of God and temperance.”’ The principal business done to-day was the presentation of reports from various committees. The committe on credentials reported that the present convention is the largest ever held in the history of the union. The election of officers will prob- abiy take place to-morrow, when President Cleary will, it is said, be renominated for the presidency of the National Union. The committee on resolutions will not re- port till to-morrow. The following notice has been received by The United Press from Rev. Father Alexander P. Doyle, general secretary of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America, with the request that it be publishéd: “Father Doyle authoritatively denies the rumors about Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Keane not being invited to the convention. He invited both Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Keane to the conven- tion at Archbishop Ireland’s suggestion two week’s ago.” THE TRIO OF ESCAPES. Secret Service Men Expect to Recapture the Burglars. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—If the hope of the Secret Service and the United States officials be realized it seems probable that the vacation now being enjoyed by John Kilioran, Henry Russell and Charles Allen, the enterprising trio of postoffice burglars, will be curtailed and that they will once more be hospitably entertained by the Sheriff of New York. The three escaped from Ludlow-street jail early on the morn- ing of the Fourth of July. The postoffice authorities have in their possession proof that they did not leave New York for sev- eral days, and that, acting on a well- arranged plan, they were taken care of by friends. For the last few days a man about 5 feet 10 inches tall, rather thick set, about 45 years of age, with gray mustache, short stubby beard and wearing a light suit, has had several interviews with Chief In- spector Ashe. The name he gave was George P. Morrison. ‘He lives in a small town in Canada, a short distance from Niagara Falls. It is known that Allen has relatives in this Canadian village. Morn- son says he has seen him many times and be knows him well, Morrison started for New York last Friday and had a talk with Ashe. He told how Allen had gone to visit his rela- tives about two weeks ago. After he had been there a few days two strange men appeared, whom_he Trecognized from the newspaper descriptions as Killoran and Russell. The three kept to themselves and seldom appeared on the street. The day before he decided tocome on to con- fer with the anwfiice officials, Morrison says the man he thinks is Kilioran disap- peared, buy from advices which he has re- ceived in cipher the other two are there. Morrison left for Buffalo Monday night. He said to a friend before leavig that he felt sure the men had been located at last and was figurin: on what proportion of the $2000 reward he would get. ~Chief In- spector Ashe refused to discuss Morrison’s visit and he has made arrangements to capture the men, providing Morrison’s in- formation proves true. It is said that thz : Pinkerton men have been following a trail which led them pretty close to the place designated by Morrison. SIS \ BATTLE WITH PICKPOCKETS. Detectives Had a Hard Fight With the Light-Fingered Gentry. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—Two fierce riots, in which one man was fatally injured and others were so badly hurt as to re- quire the services of ambulance surgeons, were the resuls of the endeavorsof Cen- tral station office detectives to arrest the pickpockets who followed in the wakeof a parade through the Ninth Ward to-night. It was a fight for life with the detectives, for as soon as they laid hands on the pick- pockets they were pounced on by the friends of the criminals. Bricks, clabs, fists and feet were used to fight off the de- tectives, and in one instance forty detec- tives were tightly hemmed in, Their as- sailants were not quelled by a pistol shot fired into the air. This demonstration only redoubled the fury of the pickpockets to escape, and the detectives dragged the prisoners into a streetcar, which was all but demolished by the missiles hurled at it before the driver understood the situation, and whipping up his horses managed to drive through the howling mob of rioters. Over a score of detectives and their prisoners were badly injured. I PR L T RIOTS AT SHANTYTOWN. Women Demolish a Fence and Pursue the Rebuilders. MARINETTE, Wis,, Aug. 8.—A riot broke out yesterday in Shantytown, the land which is claimed by the Menominee River Lumber Company, and* by over 200 squatters, The lumber company built a fence and thirty or forty women attacked it with axes, tore it down and then threw the fragments into Green Bay. ‘When another crew attempted to rebuild the fence the women chased them away with clubs, and John Lundberg, the fore- man, was seriously hurt. Mike Corry Sr., superintendent of the company, attem pted to start the fence-building again and the women threw hot water on him. The men bave decided to help the women fight it out, and they now stand with sleevesrolled up ready todrive the first man off who tres- passes on their alleged rights. RETURN OF RS, GARDNER, The Christian Endeavor Dele- gate Taken Back to Her Husband. During Her Wanderings the Unfor- tunate Woman Suffered Considerably. CHICAGO, IrL,, Aug. 8.—Mrs. Anna M. Gardner, the Christian Endeavor delegate who disappeared from Boston and was located in Norwich, Conn., on Tuesday, arrived in Chicago to-day in charge of J. W. Landers and was taken to the Palmer | House, where she met her husband, who arrived early this morning from his home in Arcadia, Nebr. Mrs, Gardner was worse during the day than she has been since first discovered at Norwich, and has so changed that her best friends hardly recognized her. She has lost flesh, her features are drawn and she is very pale. The first thing she asked for when she had greeted her husband was her baby. She was told that her baby was uptown and she would be taken to her later in the evening. Mrs. Gardner 1s unders the impreasion that her mother and children are in Chi- cago, but such is net the case. Mr. Gardner said this evening: “There isno doubt that my wife’s mind is de- ranged. She has not been well since the birth of our youngest child, three years ago. She has suffered from a disease ever since, which has given her great trouble, and is undoubtedly accountable for the condition of her mind. Ipresume thelong trip on the railroad aggravated the trouble. I shall let her rest quietly during the night and to-morrow will call in the best specialist I can find in Chicago. After consultation with him I will make my plans for the future. Until then I have none.” The report that Mr. Gardnerisa poor farmer and that his wife did drudgery on the farm is incorrect. Mr. Gardner him- self is worth a neat sum and his father is worth something over $500,000. Mr. Landers said this evening that Mrs. Gardner before leaving Nebraska had never shown any signs of insanity. “She and her husband,” he said, “got along like two kittens, and I never saw a couple more attached than they were.l had no trouble in getting the lady to come to her husband as soon as I became cos vineed of her identity, but although I have known her for years I came near believing her and going away when she told me she was not Mrs. Gardner. She is much altered. Iam glad I found herand hope her mind can be cleared vp. Iam through with my duty now, and as socon as I am told I am of no further service I will go [home. There were four days and nights during my search for Mrs. Gardner that I got no sleep at all—running from one town to another on false clews—and I am pretty well fagged out.” R S FIGHTING THE READING. Anthracite Coal Men May Build a Rail- road. SCRANTON, Pa., Aug. 8.—A report pub- lished here that the original Anthracite Operators’ Association was about to mine 1,000,000 tons of coal and put it on the market at $2 per ton created considerable talk, und several prominent members of the association were interviewed thereon. William Connell, president of the An- thracite Operators’ Association, said: “The report is not exactly correct, but it is what ought to be done. The individual opera- tors have not yet decided to take matters in their own hands, but it is not improbable that they will do so. The scheme has been discussed, and from that discussion the report has emanated. The outcome of the present conditions will be that the indi- vidual operators will have to shut down, as it is folly to give coal away that will some day be profitable. To-day there are not a dozen operators getting a new dollar for an old one. “The grinci_nal cause of the trouble is the Reading, which is fighting for a larger percentage. The fight has alreaay cost that road more than the extra 1 per cent would be worth for the next ten years. It looks as if this Fmposxtion of mining one million tons will have to be done, or the mines will have to be shut down. Some- thing definite will have to be done before long, and suth decisive action as is sug- gested is not an impossibility, or scarcely an improbability.” Connell further said that the matter of building an independent railroad had been talked of, but the operators are all so bound up with contracts to the carrying lines that they would have no coal to carry if they should have their own railroad. posieat s it No Advices of Tewas Fever. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 8. —Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, when asked in regard to a re- ported outbreak of Texas feverin Warren County, Tenn., stated that the department had no advices of the existence of the dis- ease at that place. STABBED TWO WOMEN Terrible Vengeance of an Italian at New York. WORK OF THE STILETTO. The Unsuspecting Victims Pounced Upon and Fatally Wounded. MISERABLE FATE OF SISTERS. One Had Been Foolish Enough to Love the Assassin Although He Was Married. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—A douh’le tragedy was enacted on the sidewalk in front of 325 Bast Eighty-eighth street at 11:55 A. M. to-day when an Ttalian stabbed two women repeatedly with a stiletto, in- flicting wounds from which both will, in all probability, die. The cowardly assas- sin is Felipe Giampata, 47 years old, a shoe- maker. His victims are Kate Weils, 18 years old. and her sister Rosa, 27 years old. The sisters were. walking down East Eighty-eighth street on their way home, while, ali unknown to them, Giampata stood in hiding in the vestibule of No. 325, awaiting them with murder 1n his hea{t. In his hand he held a stiletto 8 inches in length, made irom a piece of qunr}er-iuch steel, sharpened to a needle point and placed in an awl handle. As the two women reached the stoop of the house Giampata sprang from his hid- ing-place, and, with a shout and curse, seizing Kate by the throat, piunged the stiletto into her left breast near the heart. The wounded woman screamed in agony and her sister called for help. Withdraw- ing the stiletto, which had been sunk to the hilt in the woman’s breast, the assas- =n plunged it again and again into his helpless vietim, accompanying each deadly stroke with a curse. Giampata, having wreaked his demoniac wrath on Kate, turned to Rosa, ,who stood paralyzed with fear, and, seizing her by the throat, drove the keen weapon into her body over and over again. He was plying the weapon on the woman when George Hohenstein seized his arm. Then he turned upon Hohenstein and struck at him with the knife, but, fortunately, without wounding him. Hohenstein then loosened his hold, and Giampata started away on a run. Before he reached the corner he was taken into custody by Policeman Lidel. Lidel called two other policemen and sent them back to look for the girls. They found them where the stabbing had been done. Kate was still lying on the side- walk, and Rosa was bending over her. An ambulance was called, and both girls were taken to the Presbyterian Hospital. There it was stated that Kate, who had seven stab wounds, one near the heart, the others in the arms, back and breast, could not possibly survive her injuries. Rosa, who had received no less than nine wounds, the most serious being one in the back near the spine, might recover. The cause which led to the tragedy goes back about two years, when Kate Weils, then 16 years old, met Giampata and fell in love with him, although he had a wife living. Giampata made her presents and spent much of his time with her, and the usual result followed. He betrayed her, and the intimacy was maintained until some time last May, when they quarreled and separated. Giampata kept the baby which was the result of their intimacy, and would not give 1t to her, hoping by that means to force her to return to him, but she would have nothing more to do with him. He still loved her and pursued her with his attentions, following her on the street and loitering about her home until on July 2, last, when she procurred a warrant for his arrest. He was taken into custody, but Magistrate Crane discharged him on his promise not to annoy her any more. He still persisted in annoying her, and yesterday she again caused his arrest. When arraigned before Magistrate Mott this morning, Kate complained that he annoyed her when he met her on the street, and that he persisted in asking her to return te him. The magistrate held him in $500 bail to keep the peace, and paroled him in the custody of Lawyer Quitman until this afternoon to produce bail. There was nothing in Giampata’s manner to in- dicate that he meditated revenge, and he said no word that would lead to the belief | that he contemplated the fearful deed which he committed less than an hour later. —_— ——— MEANS GREAT SPEED. Possibilities of Electricity in -Eailroad Traffic. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.—The Bald- win-Westinghouse alliance is causing much talk among railvay men and in financial circles here. The first work to be done jointly by the two companies is the building of a stanaard-gauge electric loco- motive in order to demonstrate the ca;;u. bilities and powers of the new engine for passenger :!nl:lofreight service, but it will be several weeks before the work is begun. Speaking yesterday of the probable rate of speed of the proposed locomotives Mr. Henszey of zheg;s dwin firm said: “This talk of making 150 miles an hour is pure folly. The best time that will likely be made consistent with safety is ninety miles an hour at the most.” Mr. Henszey explained that for along haul {he steam locomotive was preferable and cheaper, and for that reason, he said, the electric locomotive would be used prin- cipally for_short runs and suburban serv- jce. The firm has no orders as yet for the new engines, but expects a contract soon. S, bl A UNIT FOR EE COINAGE. Ex-Governor Hauser of Montana Speaks for the Northwest. NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 8.—Ex-Gov- ernor Samuel T. Hauser of Montana was at the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday. He says that the great Northwest is a unit for the free coinage of silver. Speaking of the question he said: “Irre- spective of party lines nearly every voter of the Northwest, perhaps every voter, is for free and unlimited coinage of silver. All the Democrats like President Cleve- land and admit that he has made an excel- lent chief executive, but they are emphat- ically and perpetually opposed to his money ideas.” ‘When Hauser was asked about the third- term talk and who_the choice of the West would be for the Democratic nomination he said: __“As Isaid before President Cleveland’s ideas on the money question put him be- yond the pale sofaras the West is con- cerned, TiLe Democrats out there, and the Republicans also for that matter, are in favor of Don Cameron, the Senator from Pennsylvania, for the nomination. If he should get the nomination on either ticket hedv'v_uu d sweep the West from end to end. IRWAGIED THE MR Law_yer Hall Says a Procla- mation Was Intended to Incite Riot. There Is No End to the Wrangle Between the Rival Omaha Commissioners. OMAHA, NEsr., Aug. 8.—The day was devoted to further arguments in the Police Board case. Attorneys Ransom, Greene and Hall spoke. Hall's chief points were conveyed in this paragraph: “They make a strong plea that the Governor is allowed to have thirty days’ time in which to call the meeting to ap- point the new commissioners. Do they mean to say they had no notice on the first day of August? They eharge us with unseemly haste. Who is guilty of un- seemly haste? Who was it who several days prior to the day when the law went into effect published a column-long proclamation that they would refuse to give up their office? “Was not it Bemis, Brown and Dever, these men who are holding their offices, concealing the records and books of the office and defiantly saying they will ignore thelaw? Wasit not unseemly haste for this man Bemis, sitting in his office in the City Hall, as Mayor of this city, to issue an in- cendiary proclamation against rioting for the express purpose of inciting the people to riot, when not the slightest necessity for such a proclamation existed? Was not this done before the new law went into effect? Was it, or was it not, unseemly haste for these people to assemble a mot- ley mob of Pinkertons and ‘bums,’ and swear them in as special policemen to enable them to prevent their office being taken from them by force, not the slight- est attempt to do which had been made? Was it not unseemly ste, or not, for them to bring an illegal injunction suit to restrain the City Council from approving the bonds of the new commissioners with- out making the new commissioners parties to the action, when the law expressly says they must do so that they may have the opportunity to defend themselves?”” Greene did not finish, but will do so to- morrew and the case will then end. Hope- well’s decision will then be expected. o Ll Battle in Macedonia. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 8.—The Telegraph will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Vienna, saying a battle has been fought at Liliahove, Macedonia, between iasurgents and Turkish troops. The report says that 150 of the Turks were Kkilled. b “.L—V YV 7 Sl TR I, HERE IS A PATRIOTIC SON OF AMERICA WHO MIGHT BE IN- DUCED TO ACCEPT A PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION, [Reproduced from an engraving in the St. Louis Star-Sayings.] MADE A GREAT RACE For the Third Time Joe Patchen Defeated Robert J. HAMLIN’S PACER BEATEN Jack Curry Guided the King of the Turf to the Victory. WENT LIKE A DOUBLE TEAM. It Took Four Heats to Decide the Superiority of Patchen Wilkes’ Game Son. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 8—For the third time this year Joe Patchen defeated Robert J. To-day the game son of Patchen Wilkes convincingly demonstrated his L superiority- over the little, keen-sprung pacer, and as a result Hamlin’s champion will be retired from the track until he regains his old form. It was truly a battle royal, but one in which Jack Curry had all the best of the argument. In the two fastest heats he sat in the sulky as immovable as a statue when the horses were fighting it out in the homestretch, while Geers worked like a demon and lashed Robert J with the whip time and time again. The track was in the finest possible condition and only a moderate’ wind was blowing against the horses on the homestretch. Village Farm money made Robert J a favorite at odds of 2 to 5 in the first heat, while Patchen sold at 4to5. In the toss for the pole Patchen won. On the second score the two went away neck and neck. Like a double team they paced to the three-quarters, when Geers pulled out. But Curry called upon Patchen and the great stallion responded promptly. Into the homestretch they came with -Patchen a half length ahead. Geers took to the whip, but it was of no avail, as Patchen was going well within his speed. Time, 2:0414. The second heat was simply a repetition of the first, but in the third heat Patchen fell back at the three-quarterpole. Robert J gained a lead of two lengths going around the last turn, but Patchen came up on the outside and finished in a dead heat, though the judges gave the heat to Robert 3. In the fourth heat both horses broke at the first furlong pole. Patchen recovered first and took a good lead down the back- stretch. Robert J came on even terms at the lower distance stand and fell back and broke mto a run, at which gait he finished the mile out. Athance won the deciding heat in the unfinished 2:16 trot and Falkland finally did the same in the 2:23 class. The other races, save the three-year-old trot, were sharply contested. 2:16 class, trotting; purse $2000 (unfinished from yesterday). Athance. bik. by Junfo.....

Rubenstein behaved badly, dancing after the manner of Flying Jib, and this de- layed the conclusion of the race., A large proportion of the 6000 persons who went to the grounds remained to see the end, there being a chance for Coastman to win, be- cause it was thought his competitor was not right. The second heat was paced in 2:07)¢, and Coastman finished with his nose at Rubenstein’s shoulder, which made his mile virtually a second faster than his record. Close cbservers were of the opinion that Coastman could have gone in 2:05. CHICAGO, Irn., Aug. 8,—To-day was Harlem'’s first attempt at racing since the Civic Federation forced the tracks to close. The management announced that there would be no bookmaking or pooling. In spite of this pleasing fiction five hand- books were run in the betting-ring and did a good business. Large placards, convey- ing the information that all persons at- tempting to place a bet would be ejected from the track, did not frighten any of the bettors among the 600 spectators. If the man was known the nod was sufficient; otherwise cash was required, with the ex- planation that ‘“‘the money had to be tele- graphed out of town.” This was not done in a single instance. All bets were imme- diately paid upon the announcement of the result. The racing itself' was fair, the third event being so hotly contested that a blanket would have covered the first three horses from post to finish.

PARIS, Tex., Aug. 8.—The best legal talent in Texas hold the law applica- ble to glove contests to be ineffective. The State authorities differ and the Governor went so far as to issue a proclamation aimed at the proposed Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill. Other authorities hold it to be a question that nobody can fortell after the publication of the revised code now in process of revision. Tre CaLL cor- respondent to-day called upon the State codifier, Hon. Nathaniel P. Jackson, who plaeed himself upon record in the follow- ing when he said: “T have been asked often lately what I intended to do about ineluding in the new publieation of the State laws, the appar- ently conflicting enactment of 1891, de- nouncing prize-fighting as an offense, and the earlier one authorizing the issue of license by the Controller. Iam invested with no discretionary power as codifier to determine which are operative statuets. My duties are plainly set forth. They are in no degree revisory. I do not construe the provision to authorize me to determine doubtful cases. Ishall conform to thelaw, omitting those expressly repealed, pub- lishing those in doubt, ‘as this case, and leave it for the courts to strike out one or the other. Beyond this what could I do about it? Including or omitting the statutes would never affect the law nor the fight. To publish an unconstitutional law would not constitutionalize it, nor could the omission of a valid law defeat it, nor does the validity of the law depend upon its being published in codified form. If it did Dan Stewart would have a ‘cinch,’ as the time would have come and gone before the publication of my revised code.” SAN JOSE’S FAIR. John R sec- lette sece List of the Horses Fntered for the Six Days’ Races. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 8.—A meeting of the board of directors of the Santa Clara County Agricultural Association was held here to-day and arrangements were com- pleted for the races at the annual fair to be held from September 24 to 29 inclusive. The numerous entries of tha best horses in the State give an assurance that the com- ing meet will be the most successful ever held in the eounty.

ATTACK ON MISSIONS, Mobs of Fanatics China Continued the Work. in DRO VE GUT CHRISTIANS Establishments at Fatshan, Near Canton, Were De- molished. GUNBOATS SENT TO THE SCENE' Societles Whose Representatives Are In Danger Demand Better Protection. HONGKONG, CHiNa, Aug. 8.—The Brit- ish and American missions at Fatshan, near Canton, were attacked yesterday evening by a large mob. The hospitals were demolished. Some of the mission- aries fled to Shameel while others re- mained. A Chinese gunboat has been dispatched to quell the riot. It is reported that all the missions at Kwang-Tung will soon be destroyed and the missionaries driven to the treaty ports. The rioters are 12,000 strong and well armed and organized, and able to withstand the Chinese troops. LONDON, Exg,, Aug. 8.—A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai stated that further fanatical outbreaks against Christians had occurred at Chin- chow, Tai Ping and Anhui. All foreigners escaped injury. Lord Salisbury and the Chinese Embas- sador had a lengthy interview at the Foreign Office this afternoon. It is sup- posed that the conference between the Prime Minister and the Chinese represen- tative was in relation to the massacre of missionaries and steps to be taken to pre- vent a recurrence of the outrages. Neither the Foreign nor the Colonial office nor the Wesleyan Mission has re- ceived any news regarding the reported at- tack upon the British and American mis- sions at Fatshan yesterday. To-morrow the Times will print a dis- patch from Hongkong asserting that the riot at Fatshan yesterday was not a serious outbreak. The dispatch says the Wesleyan Hospital was damaged, but that the mis- sionaries will remain at their posts. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 8.—The feel- ing of uneasiness over the troubles in China was increased yesterday at the mis- sion-rooms of the Methodist Episcopal Church by the arrival of the following un- signed cable from Shanghai: Missionaries massacred. Hold joint meet~ ings of the socleties. Press the Government for help. The sender is believed to have been Dr. J. R. Hykes, agent for the American Bible Society in China. It was received by Dr. A. B. Leonard, corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Foreign Mission, who interprets the message to me~n that the endangered missionaries are holding joint meetings and pressing the home Government for protection. Dr. Leonard forwarded a letter yesterday to the Secretary of State at Washington, calling attention to the endangered mis- sionaries, and also reporting the destruc- tion of the society’s property in Chengtu during the recent riots.

Umpire— city by Miss M. G. Burdette, secretary of the Baptist Home Mission here. Miss Bliss was fleeing from China at the time she wrote the missive, which is dated “on a houseboat, between Ching-Ging and Ichang.” The writer expresses deep sorrow that her work in China is ended before scarcely begun, and says that she and the party she is with, Mr. Updegraft and seven others, would stay in China were it not simply in- viting their own deathtodoso. The letter confirms reports of riots in Chengtu, and says that in Kiatung, on June 5, and in other places all houses belonging to mis- sions were destroyed. The Updegrafts got as far as Yachow, where they came near re- ceiving violence at the hands of a mob and were driven back, having to go under Gov- ernment escort. — e A wonderful medical discovery prescribed by physicians with per= fect success in cases of morbid ap-~ petite for stimulants, malaria, ma~ larial fever and disordered stoms ach, kidneys and liver.
