ClNCINNATI, Sept. 6.- The Commercial Gazette prints a letter dated Shanghai) China, Aug. 9, written by Rev. E. T. Williams, six years pastor of the Central Christian ohurch of this city, and now secretary of the Foreign Mission Society of the Christian church, and on a tour around the world visiting missions.

Condenins Minister Deuby's Course. He says that within two months riots have emptied twenty cities in China of European and American missionaries, and yet the American minister entrusted the interests of Americans to a junior British consul and to a commission composed of Chinese officials implicated in the riots. He says these riots are anti-missionary, instead of anti-foreign - that the government blue book against foreigners contains lies so indecent that it would be a violation of law anywhere in the United States to repeat them. He writes that tracts containing blasphemous lies and illustrated with horrible pictures, written by mandarins in 1890, are still in circulation, and are niisleading the ignorant and inciting riot. Riots All Flanned in the Yamens. No American or British authority has uttered a word of protest against these monstrous lies. He says furthermore that all the riots have been planned in the yamens and winked fit and assisted by the officials on the plea that the ofneers were unable to prevent riots. He says that this is a mere subterfuge, for during the late war they did protect foreigners and made it safer for thom than ever before, whereas now their jöurnalg are urging tlie Chinese' to wipe out tho disgrace of defeat in war by murderous riots on unarmud missionaries.
