Daptst Mis- : , ( Iionary union to the Baptst Missionary mag- ain which show that the uprISIngs were more general than lIas been toll before. In the lat week of May and the /rst of Juno all the mlulon Eatons : In wcsten Ch'na were looted by mobs and 1G mlslonJles , men , women and children , were driven away , barely escaping with .thelr lives. In the province of Szechuan , the largest , In the empIre , there were many small , , ) .ttons ! scalereJ over the valley of the I Upper Yang.tse-mang river. Moet of the missionaries had gone to the field In . the past few yens. While the natives seem , to have trIed , In some Instances , to prctect the missionaries , the only servce : they were abe ! to render was to help them to escapo. The missionaries fed hundreds of mIles down the rIver , traveling on rafts and In house boats , hudly carryng : eo much as a change ef clothing , and reaching places 01 safeLy only after two weeks of hardship. In Clln-Tu , the captal ! of the province of Szechuan , a placard was pOtted , May 28 , assorting - sorting that the "forplgn bubarlans" were hiring evil characters to steal small children for them. The next day a mob of several thousand ! tore down the Camdhn 1ethdlst . . # . llslon and the property of the two Protest nt . r soeotes ! and the Catholic huldn : s. OF1 ' ICALS REFUSED AID. . The missionaries apppaled to the magistrate of the ciy , but he tel them he was pwor- less to help them. WJth the old of some friendly natives they erected their ese Ipe , Then the cry wont up : "The time has come to turn all the missionaries out 01 Szechuan. " A part of the mob divided Into snler p2rtics anti took the various roads out often town , enroute for all mlSon ! centers. In all cites the most Inflammatory placards were poted on the walls.

The dIstricts of East New York and South Brooklyn received the greatest shock , , but the rumblings were distinctly felt In other sections of the city. Contradictory re- ports are given a to the severity at the shocks. The first chock , which was fen at 8 o'elocl" , was followed by a rumbling noIse like distant thunder. This was followed by two other slight shocks , which , according to most at the reports , died away In a low grating tone Superintendent ot Police Wi- lam J. McKelvey telephoned to the polce headquarters from his resIdence to the ef. e- feet that he had been awakened from : sound eleep Ho said that the house ascii- lted and that the bed on which he was sleepIng moved perceptibly. Deputy Commissioner of Police Croby , who wfe stopping at Coney Island , also telephoned - phoned to headquarters that the shock had been pretty severe In that section of Drool- Iyn. He descrIbed It as a low , rumbling noIse , and added that many houses had been shaken , all 01 the inhabitants being aroused from their sleep. James Jackson , a colored watchman at the municipal buIlding , said that the residents of the Twenty-fifth ward were startled by three shocks In rapid succession , followed by a rumbling noise. The houses trembled , and many pictures and other ornamentF hangIng on the walls were thrown to the floor. The conductors of the Atlantic Avenue railroad , who were dining In a restaurant on Washington street , reported that they felt the earthquale. The building trembled per- ceptbly , whIle the plates and other dishes on the table were moved. They said the shock was lIke the first of a distinct explosion. At many hotels the guests were so frightened - ened by the vibrations that they hurried Into the halls to find the cause of the trouble. The guests at the PIerrepnt house were very much alarmed and many of them went down stair and asked the night clerk what hall happened They thought on explosIon must have occurred In the hotel According to Weather Forecaster Dunn , the earthquake reached this city at Gl : o'clock this morning , The shock was slight and lasted for ten seconds. I trave1ed from south to north. But comparatively few per- Sons In the city noticed the dlsturb1nce.

I.-New Jer- sey felt the force of the earthquake , the tremor extending throughout the northern part , while the southern section appears to have esc.\ped the experience entirely. I ' rom all of the cites and villages In the northern section the story received Is the same. The shock was preceded and accompanied by the low rumbling sound that marks tile true earthquake. ThIs trembling motion lasted for several seconds. In some places the estimate at thle Is as low lS three seconds while others place the duration at from fifteen te twenty seconds. The general course of the shock was from east to west. There Is much difference In the reports at the true direction 01 the disturbance. The early hour Is per- haps responsible for this difference of opin- Ion , but the majority who felt and hparll tile shock were awakened from their sleep by the sound and the vibrations . and the quake ceased before they had recovered consciousness - ness and were su clenty awakened to real- Ize the cause of the trouble. The shock does not appear to have causE much'damage. In all places the effects appear to have been about the same. Houses were shaken and dishes were broken , but nothing worse than this was done. The mountaIn districts appear to have felt the vibrations most Iceenly. The shock eamo between 6:03 : and 6:05 : a. m. The towns along the ocean shore report little dL- turbanee. RATIEn SEVERE IN PHILADELPHIA. PhILADELPHIA Sept. 1-An earthquake shock lasting several seconds Ins felt In this city shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. The disturbance by mother earth of the quiet of the Sunday morning was violent enough while It lasted to create a good deal at consternation - steraton and not a little damage Buildings perceptibly swayed , windows clattered and clocks and pictures toppled from their -places. The shock was more severely felt In the rburb3n districts , and It Is said that at one put at Georges Hill , In Falrmount park , a fissure was opened , permitting the entrance pf a plummet which extended down over 100 teet without touching bottom. A large plate glass window In the shade store of Michael LeU , In Germantown , was spilt from top to bottom. Similar cases are reported from othier sections of the city At the Zoological garden the vibration was ! clearly perceptible , but the excitement which followed among the animals continued for a gOl while after the disturbances. Head Keeper M3nley arserts that , the trumpeting of the elephants , the roar of the lens and the screeching of the birds was simply terrific. At Mr. Iunley's residence , besIdes the break- Ing of several windows , a clock was thrown from a shelf No damage to life has been re- ported.

Father Eugene Sheehy of LimerIck , Ireland , Is the guest of Archbishop hlornseasy. Father Sheehy was ana of the fifteen then , including Parel , who met In Dublin In 1879 and organized - ganized the Land League , with a program demanding fair rent , fixity of tenure , and free sales , and In 1881 , followIng the passage of the coercion act , or law of suspect , he sharell Klmalnham Jai for twelve months with Parnel , Dillon and Brennan Speaking of the prospects of legislation for Ireland un- der the tory government , Father Sheehy sId today : "Tho torIes have already Indicate a purpose - pose of satisfying the judgment and con' : science of England , Scotland and Wales , of raisIng up n conservative clement In Ireland , and of destroying the liberals' hope of returning . Ing to power on the home rule Issue. They have already Indicated that we may expect a land purchase bill , n Caliolo university bill , and a bi substituting county go- omment for the grand jury system , The land ) court , established under the Gladstone act 01 1881 , couples landlord and tenant whose Inter- est are opposed to each other. I has sat- lathed neither , but has sho"n that peasant ownershIp to bo acquired by the govern- ment's advancing the purchase money to the tenants. Is the only solution 01 the land quesHon.

The Presby- terians north of the Doyne , and the non-con- tenUous party , generally feel n particular Interest In these evicted tenants , but the 'rebols' of Cork - and LimerIck will Insist on their reinstatement. " 1'10 establshment of a Catho'lc ' university , which would have saved the Gladstone government - ornment In 1873 , Is a growing demand In Ireland , and tile demand for county government - mont Is supported with the cry : 'No representation - lentnton , no taxation. ' The taxes are paid by the farmers and . shopkeepers and dIspensed - pensed by n grand jury , appointed by a lord tenant , appointed by a lord'chancellor. This grand jury represents the lords who pay 10 part 01 the tax , and not the people who In- sIst that their funds shall be administered by their own representath'es. The seventy- two JcCarthyltes and the eleven ledmondles will bo united In support of these measures. If , as has been indicated , Lord Salisbury accepts - cepts them , they wIll pass the Lords. The tories are not disposed to enter upon I temporIzing - porIzing policy , but aim at , , fnaly In deal- lug with 111/.1 affaIrs , nnd , with the agrarIan , the educational and the local autonomy ques- tons retted , they look forward to an Indef- nile lease 01 power "Tho land league movement was inaugurated - rated In 1879 , on the theory that the agr- nan question lies at the bare of the coun- try's prosperIty , and that It should take precedence - cetlence of political questiqns. The Irish party , therefore , having the prosperity of the people at heart , Is willing and anxious to assist - slat the tory government In the settlement of this qucstion , and wi abide with equal con- fdenco the erect of this settlement on the home rule movement.

AhclHI ot 1'orlilcr ' 'lle , Yesterday morning The Dee started an- other enterprise that will be of great servIce - - ice to the people of the eastern and southern central ' IJart of the etate.

Waverly , Greenwood , Ashland Davy , Cer- esco , Swedenburg , Wahoo Colon , Cedar Bluffs and Fremont may have The Dee for break- fast ly means of this train The Bee reaches these places many flours ahead of any ether Omaha paper I Is so arranged that the latest news of the night 1s printed In the edition , thus giving the people the completest paper published In the wet at the earliest possible hour. I Is on evidence of the advance In modern methods to de- liver at the doorsteps 01 a resident of on In- land town or village at an early hour In the morning a complete metropolitan news- paper , containing In detail and at large the history of the world of the day before , gl\- Ing the rural distrIcts the advantages 01 city life In the way of keepIng posted And The Bee proposes to keep right In line and at the front at just such movements , I Is not alone In the train itself that The Dee has matle special preparations for this service For years I has been recognized that The lIce's news gathering facilIties were the most complete of any paper In the west This has lone without dispute even on part of competitors and would-be rIvals , who have time and' again attested their \ tmo and ateted appreciation ot appreciaton The Bee's enterprise by either imitating or trying to belittle It. But with each succeeding week The Dee has gone ahead Increasing its service , and even during the stringent times 01 the last two years , when almost every other business enterprise In Nebraska has curtailed expenses and prac- tcod retrenchment In every avenue , this paper has Increased Its outlay for news steadily till today It Is paying more money for the purpose at securing daily the news of the world than any paper between Chicago - cage and San Francisco , and Is giving Its readers lay by lay better . accounts of cur- rent events. lAS EVERYTHING IN IT. On this new train The Dee Is sent out com- plete. All the news of the world , political , re- lgious , sporting , state local , sensational and depressing , Is contained In the most accsl- blo form , No other paper printed In Nebraska can do this for the reason that no other paper In Nebraska has or can obtain the 'same facilities for gathering the news In addItIon to its special service , whIch covers every point In tile states of Iowa , Nebraska , South I Dakota , Colorado and \Vyoniing with corre- spondents In every Importrt city In the United States from Doston' toazj-Francieco , The Dee has the use of the New York \Vorh's foreign news service , the best ever organized , and the exclusIve use for- Nebraska 01 the ' great AssocIated press service which Is furnished - nished over a special leased wire. This latter feature Is one 01 the wonders of modern jour- nalism , and would require columns to adequately - quately describe. I Is only one of the feat- ures that combine to make The Dee a perfect paper Such comprehensive arrangements for securing the news of the world are possessed po&seaE by none of The Dce's rivals While the route covered by this traIn Is net In Itself a most extensive one , It Is such as enables close connections for points covering a great scope of territory reached by early trains , and thus The lIce Is enabled to get Into towns hours before they could be reached by regular mal routes Yesterday morning the train loft Omaha on time , at 3tO : , In charge 01 Conductor Prince of the MIssouri l'aciflc's .

'Now , on tile other hand , suppose you go to a more innocent appearing roulette wheel , where you invest a nickel and get a chance of winning from one to six cIgars , which are tile cheapest on the market and wilolesalo from $7 to $10 per 1,000.
