United States Consuls to seek protection at the seaports.Dr.Williams encloses a leter from the Sia Huei Reform Society of Kutien, setting forth briefly in characteristic Chinese style the measures the Chinese themselves had taken to protect missionaries.The letter says: \u201cWe have just heard that the honorable church missionaries, on account fo the uprising of the New Association (the revolution) with their just issue, have been called by your honorable Consul to the capital to be protected in peace.This is a good plan, arising from a good purpose.However, the people of Kutien have become very much enlightened and their customs changed.The people and the church are all at peace.Your honorable church has opened schools, hospitals, \u2018orphanages and similar good things.Not one of these but is gratifying to the hearts of the people.Although the people of Kutien are a simple foik, still they have seen and appreciated these things.If you (missionaries) should suddenly go from Kutien, ve greatly fear that the people would/be alarmed, and then matters would be worse than they are.If you stay, this will not be the case.This society humbly requets that you permit them to persuade you to remain.Should anything unfore- feen occur, we should, of course, exert ourselves to protect you and your property.We are quite sure that we can afford efficient protection.We await your views and wish you peace and happiness.\u201d Dr.Williams adds that the Chinese Reform Society has organized home guards under the leading men of the surrounding towns for the protection of life and propesty, and is doing much other useful work, including almost the entire banishment of opium.NEW YEAR HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS FROM NEW ENGLAND TO MONTREAL AND QUEBEC.Arrangements have been made

Rice and his associates in the firm of B.F.Sheftels & Co., charged with defrauding investors all over the country through a chain of alleged hucket- shops, was relieved to-day by the ar- test of a man
