Investigation Into Missionaries Massacres Refused.

MATTER REFERRED TO VICEROY.

American and liritisli Consuls Not Even Allowed to Attend the Trial of the Criminals Before the Local Authorities—The

Chinese Dislike Interference by Outsiders, and £cok Suspiciously Upon Foreigners Shanghai, Aug. 20.—A dispatch to The Mercury from. Foo-Chow says it is reported 011 good authority there that the Chinese government has refused to allow the American and British consuls, J. C. Hixson and R. T. Manslield, who accompanied the commission appointed to investigate the recent massacres of missionaries and their families at Ku-Cheng, to make any investigation into the circumstance of the massacre.

NO INFORMATION

Received by Chinese Officials Regarding Refusal of Investigation. Washington, Aug. 20.—The officials of the Chinese legation have no information throwing any light on the reported refusal of the home government to permit the members of the mixed British and American commission to investigate the Ku-Cheng massacre. In fact the legation has not yet been apprised officially of the appointment of the commission. The only explanation given as reason for the reported refusal is that the action reported to have been taken was by the Clpine.se local officials who possibly have not been informed by the central government of the appointment- of the commission to make the investigation, the local officials acting merely on their own inclination in thy promises.

If the reported action of the Chinese be correct it is apparently not a matter of very great surprise to the officials of the state department- here. They attribute any refusal of the local authorities to permit the commission to investigate the troubles to the well known desires of the Chinese to conduct such inquiries by their own people, the disii ke of having any interference by outsiders and to the general suspiciousness with which they look upon foreigners.

The present troubles, the officials say, are not dissimilar in any material respect from others that have occurred from time to time in the diplomatic history of the government's interests, and a glance at the British and American blue books will substantiate this statement.

A somewhat similar case to the present, it is said, is found in that of .Raymond Margery, a British officer in the consular seivice, who was killed in the province of Yunan about 15 or 1(3 years ago. In this instance the British government demanded reparation and the appointment of a commission to make an investigation resulted. At first there was decided objection by the local officials to having foreigners take part in the inquiry, but the matter was finally adjusted in a way apparently satisfactory to t'e British. It is not feared here in official circles but that any complications tint may have arisen in the present case will be adjusted and ample reparation be made for the lives that were lost in the Ku-Ciieng massacre.

The Methodist ministers of the city at their regular weekly meeting, took the matter up and decided to begin at once the work of securing the signatures of the necessary one-tenrli of the registered voters to a petition ealiing for an election of the question of "wet" or "dry" for Nov. 1. Tins action insures the culling of the election.

THE AMERICA'S CUP.

Detallft Arranged For the Racers to Select It* Defender.

Nkw York, Aug. 20.—The committee who have charge of the trial races I to select the defender of the America's cup against Valkyrie III, with James

D. Smith, chairman, have arranged the details for the races today. The first race will be 10 miles to the windward or leeward and return as the wind serves. The committee reserves the right to send the yachts over the course a second time.

The second race will be over a triangular course eight miles to a leg and the committee, at the end of the race, will decide as to the necessity of sailing a third race on Saturday.

The preparatory gun will be fired promptly at 11 o'clock. Ten minutes later a second gun will be fired and the yachts will be given only two minutes to cross the line. In case the wind is from the west, and from the weather indications it looks as if this were likely, the start will be from the Scotland lightship, 10 miles to leeward, which will take them down off Long Beach.

Weather Forecaster Dunn says there will bo a strong breeze, and he also thinks that there will be a stiff gale from the eastward by the coming of Thursday.
