R. OUNNINGHAM & BON. Punxsutawney, Pa. 1 On Sunday, the governor of the county oame to see us in person, which, to the Chinese mind. Is a great honor to us, an<% assured us we should have I no trouble In the future. Whenever ! any mote troops come, he will promptly order their general to forbid their coming to our residences, or molesting us in any way. He has called the lower officials of the city and given them strict orders to suppress any rising of the people. He tells us to go about our work as usual, and have no fear, but not expose ourselves unnecessarily on the streets when soldiers are in town. Yet we are not on this account to desist from going to the street, chapels and hospitals. He has also issued a proclamation perfectly satisfactory to us. copies of which are posted in front of both our city and suburban premises. We could not have worded the proclamation better for our own Interests If we had written It ourselves. Evidently the governor Is determined to do everything he can for 3ur safety. On Monday a still higher official called to fee us, the governor of the department consisting of twentythree counties. He visited each of our houses, talking in a most friendly way and assuring us of protection and safety. Both he and the governor of the county went Into the chapel and read the ten commandments on the chapel in large, handsome characters. The- governor of the department then asked me—"Is that the kind of doctrine you teach?" I said "Yes," and he said, "That is good." His younger brother, his assistant In office, called tihe next day, with two of the governor's sons. After all that happened, we nil feel that we are safer now than we would be If the trouble had not occurred. rlble afternoon.

They presented a written statement of which the Telegraph will print a copy. The statement mentions that the cross and a bible were flung at the feet of an Armenian priest, who wns ordered to trample on them. He refused, and thereupon, the Turkish soldiers gouged out his eyes and flung him into a pit with others who were dying. Of the 300 persons who were taken at the same time with the priest, only one, a merchant named Avak, escaped. He saved himself in an almost miraculous manner. The correspondent say# that the statement has impressed the delegates powerfully, but does not mention tile day on which It was presented. Another dispatch, dated at Kars, gives tihe testimony of Kurds who saw Turkish soldiers take children by the feet and dash them against stones. "A Turkish soldier," says the dispatch, "bound an old Armenian, head downward, to some branches and slowly cut ihis throat with an axe. The same Kurds saw the soldiers take pregnant women, offer bets on the sex of the children, and then cut the women open. The money was paid to the man who guessed correctly."

I Boston, March U.—Since the Japanese-Chinese war began, numerous dispatches have been received relating to possible attacks on American Congregational missionaries. Such an attack as was feared has been made on the missionaries of the American board and an account of it has been received from the Rev. James H. Roberts, of Kalgan, who was In Paotingfu, the scene of the mob. Mr. Roberts writes: On Wednesday, Jan. 2, some soldiers who were here in Paotingfu, on their way from the southern or western provinces to the seat of war, entered the street chapel of the Presbyterians while Rev. Joseph Walter Lowrle was preaching, knocked over the benches, tried to get his watch and spectacles, and seemed ready to make an attack upon his person, when an outcry In the street, either/ a street fight, providentially occurring, or a call to others to come and join the fracas in the chapel, led the soldiers to run out Into the street, and Mr. Lowrie closed the chapel. The mob raged outside the door till sunset, but could not get in. Those soldiers went on their journey the next day but the city roughs evidently planned to plunder our houses When more soldiers should come, for on the arrival of a few thousand soldiers on Friday noon they promptly piaid us a visit, and were extremely menacing and Insolent awaiting an opportunity to plunder the mission houses. Among them were ten or more women. One'of them, on being asked why she was standing there, replied that she had heard that our houses were about to be pulled to pieces, and she did not know but that she might get something. There were many young men In the crowd, mostly with dissipated and villainous lookssome of them well dressed. Of these last, some were heard to say that the destruction of these mission houses cannot be postponed any longer, and that they would upset Dr. Noble'B cart the next time he should go Into the city. Soon afterward word came that the general had come to the south suburb. The soldiers ail started to leave. It was growing dark, and that is the time of day when Chinese mobs generally end. All through the afternoon we had longed for sunftet and darkness, to end the trouble. But a new danger arose, as the soldiers, who had been guarding the gate, started to go, and the c4ty mob could see that we were helpless against them. Then a native preacher named Kao Jung, who had come from the country Just in time to help us, told the soldiers that if the mob should steal anything, the boIdiers would be held responsible. The latter had wooden clubs in their hands. They asked Mr. Kao "shall we beat them?" to which he answered, "yes." Then they gave It to the city fellows right and left, knocking them down, drawing blood from some of them, and clearing the street, with wonderful quickness. After their supper, three soldiers came and guarded our gate tttl late at night, and the civil officers sent men' to Are guns around our premises, to worn all persons that these place!
