LIST OF THE MISSIONARIES.

Names of the Men and Women Who Are in Danger at Foo Chow. The riots at Foo Chow, reported in the latest dispatches, are much more serious than those in the Interior and give the friends of the missionaries and missionary work more concern. Foo Chow is near the coast, and is a city of importance. A dispatch to the London Times from Hong Kong confirms the dispatch announcing the attack upon the American mission near Foo Chow and a dangerous state of the populace of that city. Foo Chow is an important station of the Methodist Episcopal church’s missionary work. The mission was begun in 1847, and is now under the general supervision of Bishop Goodsell, assisted by the following missionaries and their wives: N. J. Plumb, G. B. Smyth, M. C. Wilcox, W. H. Lacy, J. J. Gregory, M. D.; J. H. Worley, W. N. Brewster, G. S. Miner, and Miss Sarah M. Bosworth. There are also a number of women missionaries sent out by the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Church, who work in conjunction with the bishop and his aids. These missionaries are located in various towns and villages near Foo Chow, and of course, in case of such an uprising as reported, might be murdered before assistance could be sent to them or they could assemble at the American school, near the gates of Foo Chow.
