OUTRAGES IN CHINA.

More Definite Details of Crimes Perpetrated.

The Uprising Was General Over a Great Part of Western China—Extreme Hardships Endured by the Missionaries While

Fleeing For Their Lives—Reports Setto to The Baptist ^Missionary Magazine. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Reports of tho

outrages upon missionaries in China have come from members of the American Baptist missionary union to the Baptist Missionary Magazine, which show that the uprisings were more general than had been told before. In the last week of May and the llrst of June all the live missionary stations in western China were looted by mobs, and 14G missionaries—men, women and children—were driven away, escaping oniy

with their lives. In the province of Sze-Chuan, the largest in the empire, $ there were many small stations scatfcered over the valiey of the upper Yangtz river. Most of the missionaries had gone to the field in the last five years. js

While the authorities seem to have tried, in some instances, to protect the j£ mission- the only thing rhey were able to render was to help them to escape, The missionaries fled hundreds of miles down the river, traveling on rafts and in houseboats, hardly canning so much as a change of clothing, and reaching places of safety only after two weeks of hardship.

In Chentub, the capital of the province of Sze-Chuan, a placard was posted on the 28th of May asserting that the ''foreign barbarians," were hireiug evil charactors to steal small children for them. The next day a mob of several thousand tore down the Canadian Methodist mission and the property of the two other Protestant and Catholio buildings. The missionaries appealed to the magistrate of the city, but he told them he was powerless to help them. With the aid of some friendly natives, they effected their escape. Then the cry went up: "The time has come to turn all the missionaries out of Sze-Chuan." Apart of the mob divided into smaller parties, and took the various roads out of town, en route for other mission centers. In all cities the most inflammatory placards ware posted on the walls. iiiots immediately followed.

The Baptist missionaries believe the riots were incited by members of the official class. They kept in the background, however, and to all appearances, the students were at the bottom of the mischief. They published a placard fixing a date for the destruction of the missionary property at SuicliauFu, and for killing the magistrate, who was suspected of desiring to protect foreigners. in most cases the missionaries, while their property was being destroyed, left the cities and hid in the neighborhood, awaiting an opportunity to escape. They had native friends who helped them to secure boats and to put r'"e ladies and children aboard. At Sui-Chau-Fu, .Messrs. Warner and Weilwood, and L»r. Finch got their valuable papers and silver out of the town, and secreted them. Here, as everywhere, tho trouble came like a thunderclap out of a ciear sky. Sunday's services"were well attended, quiet and very impressive, and three candidates were baptised by immersion. On Monday, .Tune 5, tiie city was flooded with placards.

The largest party, which numbered 65, was crowded for 11 days in little houseboats, suffering terribly, and but for the fact that they had money enough to pay the exorbitant prices asked them for everything, would have perished. There are many stories of individual escapes, but they are much alike in their main feature.

The Outrages Continue,

LONDON, Sept. 2.—The Times' correspondent at Shanghai says Ciiiness Christians are being brutally harried near Hing-Hwa, province of Fo-Kien. Houses have been burned and property and cattle lifted. One person was fatally wounded. The magistrate refused to interfere, although he was five times requested to do so. He had published au ambiguous prolamation reIfiffijjjgjto the Kit-Cheng massacre and Suiting arising against the Christians, worse troubles are expected.

FIRE IN BUFFALO.

Thfl Academy of Music and Other Valuable l'roperty Destroyed. BUFFALO, Sept. 2.—The Academy of

Mwic, the oldest playhouse in the city, burned at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The fire is supposed to have started under the stairway and smouldered for some time before the fire was discovered. A still alarm was sent in at 1:80, but the chemical men found the smoke too dense to locate the fire and a fire box was pulled. The firemen broke their way into the ground floor and groped about for half an hour to find the seat of the fire, playing several streams meanwhile with no avail.

About 2 o'clock the flames burst forth in the Comstock store and the progress of the fire from this time was rapid. In a few minutes it had leaped through

ate its waj iirough the roof at the rear, but did not advance to the front of the house.

The liquor store of P,ip. Millet and the offices above, which faced on Main street, were not damaged except by smoke and water. The Comstock stone on the other side of the Main street entrance, however, was practically gutted aud the loss in furs will be heavy, about $40,000.

The two small stores of the William Vaughn & Company and Jacob Fried, on the Washington street side, were gutted.

The loss to the theater building is perhaps $75,000. The loss of the contents is more lamentable, if not as costly, for the Academy stage was a storehouse of di-amatic history for the past 40 years. Several theatrical people lose wardrobes, properties and scenery that had been stored there. The Academy was ereetcd in 1852 by Henry T. Meech, who died in 1870, since when it has been managed continuously by his sons, John H. aud Henry L. Meech.

The theater was origiually known as the Metropolitan, but the sons changed to the Academy of Music. They also remodeled the house in 1S82. They were owners of the property until a year ago, when business reverses compelled them to sell it under foreclosure proceedings. It was bought in by Attorney Moot for a syndicate of the larger creditors and the house was being managed by the Meechs for the benefit of the creditors and had just opened its season, this last two weeks.

uair^°

The property is worth abont $250,000 and was heavily mortgaged. The in* snrance rates were high and not half enough was placed to reimburse the mortgages. It is unlikely that the building will be rebuilt as a theater, as its location is too far down town to make it desirable.

Donning his bathing costume he ran to the edge of the embankment where the water was about seven feet below, and jumping into the air, came down head first into the lake.

He managed to gain his feet, but as he did so his head fell to one side and a second later lie was lying on his face in the water, Mrs. Kline screamed for help and in a short time the man I was brought to the shore.

Collision on an Elevated Kailrnad. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—A rear-end colli

Several women fainted and had to be carried to the station platform. The collision was caused by the failure of the airbrakes to work. Both trains were crowded at the time of the accident. One of the coaches left the track, but the heavy oak gaard timbers kept it from going off the structure.
