UNIQUE MANNER OF SUICIDE
One of the Antf-F Foreign Chinese Prfn-
ces Swallows Gold Leaf-Another Re-
ported ssDead''

Washington, October 26.-The Chi
nese minister has received a dispatch,
stating hat Kang Vi, a member of
the cabinet with Yung Lu and M of
the intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded by the pow
ers, is dead, also that Yu Hsien, the
late governor of Shan ST, who is said
to have been responsible for the death
of many missionaries, has committed
suicide.
Minister WI 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:
"A cablegram from Viceroy Chang
Chi Tung, dated October 25th, states
that the governor of Shan ST has re-
ported that Kang vi died On October
18th; that Yu Hsien Qate governor of
Shan SD has committed suicide by
swallowing gold leaf, and Prince Tuan
has not been permitted to accompany
the court.
The death of Kang vi is an impor-
tant event, Is he was n 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
! men making up the pTlNy COOiNCil, VI
I cabinet, which is the body nearest the
| throne.
| Although the dispatch to MIR. WI
| says that only Kang vi died" on the
J 18th instant, it is thought hat this
! death was the natural result of the
| disgrace which has overtaken the anti.
| foreign and Boxer element.
Governor Yu's method of suicide, by
swallowing gold leaf, Is unique to Chi
ma 1t is a means by which high per
sonages take their life, the gold leai
' being representative of their high sta
tor The leaf forms a CONCEALED bal
in the canals of the body and bring:
death from suffocation.
Minister Wu's advices today alst
show that Prince Tuan has been visit
ed with severe sensure froa III
throne and to such extent that it woult
be no surprise if he followed the cours'
of Kang vi and Yu. He has been pre-
vented from accompanying the Inn
perial court to Sinan Flu, and remain
at Shan ST, cut on from further infu
ence over the throne. 1t is expected
that he will be banished which, to
prince Of the blood, is worse than de
capitation, n under the Chinese ide;
Of propriety, suicide is likely to be hi
end. Minister WI laid his dispatche
before Secretary Hay.

ETHICAL STANDARDS.
Sermon Preached By Rev. NJ SelIeck
al Church Of The Mediator.
Soma Of tha Encouraging Signs Of the
Times Evils 10 Be Suppressed.

Rev W. c. srlleck last evening spoke
on Ethical standards in American So
ciety. or Morality IN Public and In
Private Life" at the Church OF the Me-
diator. and ne saA in substance: An
encouraging sign OF our times Is that
our growth in moral scnsitlveness cor
responds to our great material and in
dustrlal advancement There is dis
tinct moIalizing influence IN religion
This may appear an odd assertion, but
today more than ever before religion
and morality are regarded as inde-
pendent. The ethical quality dominates
for righteousness after all is the real
living clement. In many cases ana at
various times rengion has been mere
formalsm Il has been neither moral
nor immoral. but immoral. Now loftier
religious conceptions are entertained
and morality and religion go hand in
hand.
our ethical standards at present I'm
many directions are not near our ideals.
For instance. we. are unduly subject
TO the Influences OF wealth. Mutitudes
are enamored OF riches for the position
and comforts they bring. 1t Is a defect
in our social system when wealth is
considered as of more Importance than
morality, religion and education. 1t ~ "A
distinct sign OF moral imperfectiOn.
The higher the civilization. the more
general is the appreciation OF virtue
and education. In this age OF news
papers there Is also sn overweening de-
sire 10 gain notoriety. There rs too
great a public anxiety 10 have mat
ters published. Such is a serious ten
dency. especially when reports are per-
verted. II Is far better 90 be modest
and truthful than 70 have your names
mentioned In newspapers when the
facts cannot properly be sustained.
Another great evil today Is ahat OF
adutera ticn. dishonesty i'm trade and
also I'm workmanship IL is n tendency
against which we must strive. for
trade and workma nship so viuatcd
east reflection upon our civilization.
Righteousness is a concrete reality 1,
be sought 1T lis Just as essential 10 b"
honest I'm business i'm religion. We
NUT mOralze our ideals: outgrow our
moral adolescence. This moraliZation
must extend 20 all phases Of life. The
man OF blunted moral perceptions
should not be allowed 10 become a
legislator. And I'm society the man who
violates the laws OF morality and viz
tue should be regarded in the same
light as the unfortunate woman.
