rSrECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISrATCH.l
Sax Fkaxcisco, Dec. 20. The Pacific
nisil steamer City of Peking arrived to-day
from China brhunng Hongkong news to
November 24. Xo passengers could be
seen, as all are quarantined. Details of the
trouble in Hunan and along the Yang-Tse
river piien in Shanghai and Hongkong
papers throw light on the meager cable dis
patches, and how that the situation of the
foreigners is cry grave.
There seems to be no doubt that the main
caue of intense bitterness against the for
eigner are the books issued in the capital
of Hunan by a literary man who is an inti
mate associate of the Governor of the prov
ince, and who has not been punished for his
offense. Dr. Griffith John, of Shanghai,
located this "fellow, whose name is Cheen
Han. He is a Tartar of considerable wealth
with influential connections. Five keepers
of pawnshops iu Wuchang were arrested
and punished severely for selling the books.
Gt.p, however, who was a relative of Cheen
Han, was released, the authorities claiming
there was no evidence against him.
Tho icrroy Afr.-iitl or the Disturber.
Cheen Han a few weeks before the riots
began to j-end emissaries up and down the
Yang-Tse Yaliey with his filthy books con
taining bitter attacks on foreigners and
calling upon the Chinese people to exnel
them and burn their houses. These men
were known to be doing this work in 3Iarch
and April. The first riot occurred at "Vuhu
on May 12. Then came the Xanking riot
on the 25th of May, the Wusueh riots on
the 5th of .Tune, and the Jchang riots on
September 2. Compare these dates and you
will see at once that all these riots synch
ronize with the presence of Cheen Han's
emissaries in the Yang-Tse Yaliey.
Everywhere they found a state of mind
ready for their reception and lots of Hunan
men only too glad to join them, but they
themselves seem to have been the principal
agents in inflaming the popular mind an'd
raising an uproar. These books, as well as
obscene and blasphemous placards, are
ascribed to Cheea Han, whose residence is
well known to the Yiceroy, Li Hung Chang,
but in the present state of the Chinese Em
pire he dares not attempt to send a force into
Hunan to capture this man, who is respon
sible for all the trouble.

roused the Chinese to fury against foreign
ers: Our correspondent writes trom Hanknjv
that lie met a Bnchelorof Arts, not Chris
tian, who had lust returned from Changsha,
the c.ipltal of Hunan, here ho had been at
tending the examinations. He brought back
a handsome volume full ot pictures and of
articles of most revolting obscenity, and it
is difficult to believe that any man could he
shameless enough to compile such a. volume.
It i, the work of a red Tartar, Cheen Han. a
nattvo of Cliancslm, now llvlne there with
his familv. It is not known who finds the
money. This Tartar has had innumerable
pictures and blocks cut. He ha them bound
up in volumes, and gives them to shopkeop
ers with orders to Blve a copy to every one
who asks for one or who comes in to buy
books. They are to be given at a reduced
price to traders who come to Cuangnha from
other provinces, in order that they may be
as widely disseminated as possible.
While the candidates were assembled at
Changsha for examinations this Tartar went
among them personally recommending
these books. He pointed out passages show
ing how to pevent Chinese hecominR Chris
tians by various punishments, including
death in the central temples. He recom
mended them all to unite to drive all Chris
tians out of Hunan. He explained that the
recent edict was onlv issued by tho Emperor
through fear of foreign armies and that ac
cordlnglv the strong, faithful and valiant
men of Hunan should be the first to rally
against the Europeans and their Christian
adheients. Tho candidates on their way
back from the examinations are bringing
with them large supplios of these incendiary
books and are distributing them wherever
they go.
Appeals to the Prejudice of tho People.
Dr. Griffith John, in a later letter to the
Forth. China Seat, declares that 800,000
copies of the book entitled "Death of the
Devil's Religion" have been printed and
circulated free in Hunan and other prov
inces. This book takes the place of the
famous book "Deathblow to Corrupt Doc
trines," printed over 20 years ago. This
was a book written in the Mandarin dia'ect
and intended only for the literati, whereas
this latest book is written in the language
of the people and is evidently intended to
appeal to the prejudices of the masses. A
translation of the signatures of those who
send out the book is substantially the same
as that given before and its purport is as
follows:
The Great Wall (Hunan) strictly guards
the inner land. The officials both civil and
military will subdue- tho pigs (foreigners).
Tho great pure dvnasty shall ever bo our
delleht; Confucius'shall be our teacher; tho
masses of the people are loyal, we with
united hearts desire to fight. $
W V. Drummond, one of the best in
formed Englishmen in Shanghai on Chinese
affairs, gives the following incident of the
Kecent Plot to Seize Nanklnc:
JIany years ago a man named Li Ssee
Tsunir. formerlv the Talpinsr leader, havinir
surrendered to the Chinese Government, I
wan liiauu iiuei iiunenu ui ijiisiiuviiivc,
and afterward impeached, deprived ot his
rank and ordered to remain in Xanking.and
subi-equently, having got into fresh trouble,
w as beheaded by order of Yn Lu, then Gov
ernor or Anhui. "Yu Lu is a Manchu official,
who was acting Viceroy ot Nanking and is
now Governor of Shins King. Li Ssee Tsung
had a son named Li Hung. At the beginning
ot November Viceroy Chang arrested some
secret society men at Wuchang, and it was
discovered that the man Li Hunjr was one
of the leadeis of the proposed rebellion,
also that it was planned to commence an
outbreak by an attempt to seize Nankins: on
November 2S, and to make simultaneous
attempts to seize Shashi, near Wu
chang, mid all the country along tho
Yung-Tse valley between that place and
Chin Kiang. It was also discovered that it
had been planned to commence an outbreak
at the beginning of the ninth moon (Octo
ber), but inconsequence of the failure to get
SOKsession of arms to belirouslit up from
long Kong it was postponed and tho later
dato was fixed. Li Hung has fled, and ef
forts are now being made for his arrest.
The Viceroy Chang U arranging to get up
10.000 Cantonese troops to station in his
provinces. The Viceroy of Nanking has
sent a dispatch to the Shanghai Taotal, giv
ing the names of eight Chinese in good posi
tions in Shanghai, some of them being com
pradoros of foreign firms here, and demand
ing their arrest as concerned in a con
spiracy to aid a rebellion. No action has
been taken in this dispatch as yet, the
Taotai being afraid to raise such u-thorny
question.

young lellow was conspicuous in posting
up any foreign placards and in fomenting
riot and the destruction of mission property
at Wusich. This honor given to him shows
the real feeling of the Government in the
present crisis.
There is nothing to record in regard to
the situation of American missionaries in
China. Large numbers have come in to
Shanghai and the river ports where there
are foreign men of war. There is a gen
eral complaint that too few war ves
sels have been ordered to the Yang-Tse
river, and that should a concerted rising
take place all along the river, many for
eigners would lose their lives. The native
troops sent up from Shanghai are worse
than useless,"as most of them are merely
coolies. Some are armed with old anti
quated guns, but the majority- have merely
umbrellas with which to strike terror into
their foes. One man with a modern repeat
ing rifle could stand off 1,000 of them. Offi
cers of all the men-of-war have been very
busy providing for the safety of the stations
near which they are assigned.
The ForeignerWAre In Dancer.
In his latest letter to the .Xorth China
Neat, Mr. Drummon gives this as the inside
news of the Chinese Government's plans:
The Chinese Government has made in
quiries, and the conclusion has been arrived
at that statements in regard to the danger
now existing from the monopoly of military
power by the Hunan and Anhui men, and in
regard to the prompt and vigorous action,
aro true. Orders have been already given
for the enlistments and drilling of troops in
other piovinces and at Canton, and it is in
tended to send these as soon as they are
ready, which will be in the spring, to the
Yang-Tse provinces to break up the Hunan
predominance by distributing a large por
tion of the Hunan troops. It is also said
that as soon as it is considered safe, a Vice
roy, who is not a ilunan man, will be sent to
Nanking.
As I have previously stated, the necessity
for this policy is undoubted, and the time
when it comes to be actually carried into
effect will be critical. As the condition of
the provinces near Yang-Tse is such as to
constitute, serious danger to the Chinese
Government as well as to the lives and
property of foreigners, and, as tho Govern
ment is now well aware of the danger, there
is no reason to doubt that efforts to break
up the Hunan-Annul monopoly of military
power will be vigorously prosecuted, and if
this can be successfully completed before
any general outbreak occurs the dangers of
rebellion will be averted. The fact, how
ever, that a change isto be niado is becom
ing known adds considerably to the gravity
of the situation.
The salt riots at Tek-Hua, near Foo Choo,
aro still threatening. Imperial troops
gained ono victory over the rioters and be
headed 50 of the captives. The leader col
lected another body of troops and defied the
army, but was a second time defeated. It is
now reported that ho is negotiating for a
compromise.

the system will take in Rankin, Copela and
North Braddock, which are all outside the

THE GUYING BY HIS CONSTITUENTS
rePICIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
New York, Dec 20. It was a beautiful
sight to behold the Hon. Timothy John
Campbell making a farewell tour of his dis
trict this afternoon. The mighty Repre
sentative of the Eighth in the nation's coun
cils reached this city late Saturday after
noon. He was accompanied by Miss Miller,
whom he intended to marry that evening.
He escorted Miss Miller to a hotel or to the
house of a friend, he declines to say where,
and then xhe went over into his district to
find AVilliam Schnell, his bosom friend. He
dropped Into a grocery and inquired where
Mr. Schnell was. The proprietor said: "I
don't know where Billy Schnell is, Your
Highness; but I see by the evening paper
that you are going to be married."
Mr. Campbell said this announcement re
moved his breath for the moment. When he
recovered it he betook himself out of the
district as rapidly as possible, postponed
the wedding, and spent the evening at the
Manhattan Athletic Club. Late at night,
or rather toward 2 o'clock this morning, he
stole gently into his house
Wanted to Be Wed Quietly.
Mr. Campbell made up his mind several
months ago to get married, and has been re
volving in his head ever since how he might
avoid any publicity. Privacy he was de
termined to have, so the marriage was post
poned, and it was decided to hold it at some
other than the house of Father McGinley,
where it was to have taken place Saturday
evening.
Mr. Campbell arose late this morning,
and after a hearty breakfast started out on
a grand farewell tour of his district. Al
though he wanted his matrimonial venture
kept in the background, it was clear that he
wanted to be congratulated. He found his
beloved constituents waiting for him. As
he walked along Grand street he was
stopped at every few feet to be slapped on
the back, squeezed by the hands and punched
in the ribs.
"Ye are foxy, Timmy," they would say.
"We never thought it of ye, and at your
time of life" Whereat Timmy beamed in
successful rivalry with his diamonds.
In Ludlow and in Suffolk streets, in Biv
ington and Delancey, they cheered him
from the opposite side of the way, they
called to him from crowded tenement win
dows, and chuckled at him from base
ments. nigh Time He Was Spliced.
"It's high time ye was a-getting a com
panion, Timothy," said an old woman.
"Ye oughtahave b'vs growedby this time"
Srme of them had not thought well of a
marriage with a Presbyterian, and he a
good Catholic, but when they beard that the
Archbishop had given his permission they
were perfectly satisfied.
By the time Mr. Campbell had made the
rounds he was in a state of high glee.
"Ain't I cool?" said he. "Ain't I calm?
Don't I take it well?" And there was no
denying it. He showed do fear or trembling,
no hesitation.
The darkness was deep about the Camp
bell mansion when, at 7:05 p. M., the Con

TAE2 TOO MUCH TIN PLATE.
Manufacturers Will Hardly Roof "World's
Fair Buildings Free of Charge.
The first number of the American Tin Plate
Reviea, with George E. Kepple, well known
in industrial circles, as editor and manager,
appears to-day. Among other information
it contains, is the following:
A report was sent out from Harrisburg
this week to the effect that the tin plate
manufacturers would probablv cover tne
Pennsylvania buildings at the World's Fair
with American tin free of cost. There is
little, if any, likelihood of such proposition
being made. Considering that it would re
quire 10,000 boxes, the manufacturers, who
havojust completed their plants at enor
mous outlays of capital, could scarcely be
expected to do such a thing. Secretary
Benney, of P. H. Lnulman & Co., said yester
day: "I feel very certain there is no truth
in the report. Our firm made a proposition
to furnish all the material necessary to
cover those buildings at n fixed price, but I
can scarcely see how the manufacturers
could make a proposition to do the work
free of charge." When President Crone
meyer, of the United States Iron and Tin
Plate Manufacturing Company, was asked
about it. he replied: "I know nothing what
ever of the matter."

Chase met a young iu Owen county, Ind.,
Harrison by name,, to whom he took a
fancy.
"When you eet married I want to per
form the ceremony," said Mr. Chase.
"I will hold you to that promise," said
the young man, and he did. Last week
Governor Chase received a letter from the
young man telling him that the day for the
wedding had been fixed and asking him to
keep his promise. Mr. Chase decided that
because he had succeeded to the Governor
ship of Indiana was no reason whv he
should break the promise, and to-night he
went over to Taylorsville to tie the knot.

How a Mew York Belle Neatly Turned a

New York TImes.J
Bishop Hare, of South Dakota, is fond of
telling stories about himself to illustrate
the point which he playfully makes that a
man who lives long on the plains comes to
be a good deal of a barbarian. Once, so one
of his stories runs, he had the misfortune
while entering a dining room in this city to
step upon the skirt of a lady's dress. Apol
ogizing, he said: "You, know that I have
been living with the Indians lately and
have grown somewhat awkward."
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied:
"I don't tliink that, Bishop; butt am sur
prised at one thing, that after living so long
with the Indians, you shouldn't be better at
following'up a trail."

Garner Will TJse a Bae-Full to Quiet His
Visitors in Africa.
In his African experience Prof. Garner's
best safeguard will probably prove to be a
contrivance of his own a bag like an exag
gerated canteen filled with concentrated
ammonia, with'30 inches of rubber hose and'
a nozzle attached. If the gorillas try to
form a combination and surround him he
will shoot some of the ammonia at them
and make them respect the peaceful scien
tist. The fumes from the ammonia will strangle
any number of gorillas, rendering' them
temporarily helpless and half-conscious.
Whoever has gone foolishly near to a
woman's smelling salts may multiply the
effect on his nose by 1,000 and get a faint
idea as to what Mr.' Garner.has in store for
these gorillas if they act ba'dly. While the
gorillas are recovering from their half
strangled condition and talking about it,
Mr. Garner's phonograph and graphophone
will take down iheir remarks. He will
take pictures of their attitude with the 4x5
camera that he will have in his cage, while
the 5x8 camera perched up outside will per
petuate the general scene.
THE NEABEST TO MAN.
Prof. Huxley Was Wrong in Giving tho
Gorilla the Place.
Mr. Garner, the expert on monkeys,
thinks that the gorilla does not come near
est to man among the apes, Prof. Huxley
and others to the contrary notwithstanding.
He believes that the chimpanzee is the near
est to man, with the possible exception of
that rare ape, the koolo kamba.
The language and voice of the gorilla, in
spite of his mental inferiority, should prove
very interesting. Dn Chaillu, describing
the Yoice of the gorilla, said that he had
heard Mr. and Mrs. Gorilly calling to each
other and answering at a distance of four
miles.

I
N EVERY Re
ceipt that calls for
baking powder,
use the "Royal."
Better results will
be obtained because it is
the purest. It will make
the food lighter, sweeter,
of finer flavor, more di
gestible and wholesome.
It is always reliable and
uniform in its work.
I have found the Royal Bak,nt
Powder superior to all others.
