KILLS HIMSELF
Yu HsieD, Governor of Shansi, Swal-
lows Gold Leaf.
MANY MISSIONARIES SLAIN THROUGH HIM
Tuan, Banished From the Imperial Court, May
Follow Yu Hsien's Example, as Such
Banshment is Death to Prince
of the Blood.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Chinese
Minister has received dispatch stat
ing that Kang vi, a member of the
cabinet with Young Lu and one of the
intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded by the
powers, is dead, also that Yu Hsien,
the late Governor of Shanghai who is
said to have been responsible for the
death of many missionaries, has COM
mitted suicide Minister Wu regards
this act as the result of the disfavor
which the high officials have received
from the Throne.
The text of the communication is
as follows:
"Cablegram from Niceroy Chang
Chi-Tung, dated October 25th., states
that Governor of Shanghai has report
81 that Yang Vi died on October 18;
that Yu Hsien (late Governor of Shan
sD has committed suicide by swallow
ing gold leaf; and that Prince Tuan
has not been permitted to accompany
the Court"
Cablegram dated October GATH, from
Director General Shen states that an
imperial decree has been issued di-
recting Prince Ching and Earle Ii to
fix and submit for approval the several
penalties 10 be inflicted on those
princes and ministers that ought to
be punished. He adds that Kang vi
has died of sickness. and that Prince
Tuan and Prince Chwang have not
been allowed to accompany the Court
Ito Shansi.)
The death of Kang vi is an import
ant event, as he was one of the ring
leaders whose punishment was de-
manded by the powers. He held the
position of Assistant Grand Secretary
and President of the Civil Board, and
also was one of the six Chinese states
man making up the Privy Council, or
Cabinet, which is the body nearest the
throne. Although the dispatch to Mr.
Wu says that Kang vi died" ON the
18th inst, it is thought that this
death was the natural result of the
disgrace which has overtalen the an
ti-foreign and Boxer element. Gov.
Yu's method of suicide, by swallowing
gold leaf, is unique to China. 1t is a
means by which high parsonage take
tiINii iiIN. itiC SOINl INttI bNiiiS ~ m
sentative of their high station. The
leaf forms CONCEALED ball in the
canals of the body and brings death
from suffocation.
Minister Wu's advices today also
show that Prince Tuan has been Wis
tied with severe censure from the
Throne. and to such an extent that it
would be no surprise if he followed
the course of Kang vi and Yu. He
has been prevented from accompany
ing the imperial court to Sinan-Fu,
and remains at Shansi, cut off from
further communication with the
throne. 1t is thought that he will be
banished, which to a prince Of the
blood. is worse than decapitation, and
under the Chinese idea of propriety,
suicide is likely to be his end Min
lister Wu laid his dispatches before
Secretary kay today.

JOINT DISCUSSION AT MT. AIRY.
Mr.. W. Pearson Makes Great Speech to
Mixed Gathering.
Especial to tNews and observer)

Especial to tNews and Observer)
Mount Airy, N. c., Oct. 26A joint
discussion between the Democratic and
Republican electors for the Eighth Con-
grcssional district, brought out large
number of voters last night, and we
count it good fortune that Mr.. w. S.
Pearson has the opportunity of speaking
to Republicans on the issues of this
great campaign. He devoted sufficient
time to the paramount issue to seriously
impress and convince the people that
Imperialism is more than a present
menace TO the republic, that the Con-
stitution is being ignored and that the
flag is fast becoming an asset Of CONNER
cial greed. This arraignment of trusts,
the pit of the Mckinley administration,
was powerful, and farmers who have seen
the price of tobacco absolutely fixed by
the American Tobacco Company readily
endorsed his utterances of denunciation.
He urged all voters to aid in the cleo
tion of Hon. j. G. Buxton to Congress
from the Eighth district and said that
there was no doubt that he would be
our next representative.
There are numbers OF, Republicans in
these mountain counties who happen to
know Mr.. Buxton, and Mr.. Blackburn as
we'll, and many of them are going to
show their appreciation of Mr. Buxton,
personally, by casting their votes for him.
He is a friend of the people, plain and
unassuming, and has a heart big in
proportion to his body.
