Governor of Shansi.

Washington, Oct. 27.-From an in
dependent source Secretary Hay has
received confrmatory evidence of the
reported suicide of Yu Hsiang, the
fanatical governor of the province of
Shansi, whose punishment was de-
manded by the powers for the mas
sacre of large number of mission
aries. This message came from Spe-
cial Commissioner Rockhill, as fol-
lows:
shanghai, Oct. 22.-Have reliable
information to the effect that Yu
Hsiang committed suicide 22d.
"ROCKHILL."
1t is regarded as probable by the
state department officials that Mr..
Rockhill was unacquainted with the
fact that the Chinese government it.
self had communicated information
to this effect to the powers before
he sent his message, SO that, coming
from another point than Pekin,
whence the Chinese report emanated,
Mr.. Rockhill's advice is regarded as
strongly corroborative.

The works of religion and chari-

extent, has been blessed with
abundant harvests. Labor and
the great industries of the
people have prospered be-
yond all precedent. Our commerce
has spread over the world. Our
power and influence in the cause
of freedom and Enlightenment
have extended over distant seas
and lands. The lives of our Off
cial Representatives and many of
our people in China have been
marvelously preserved. We have
been generally exempt from pes
thence and other great calamities
and even the tragic visitation
which overwhelmed the city of
Galveston made evident the senti- Z
ments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we are
one united people.
Now, therefore, ], William Nc
Kinley, president of the United
States, do hereby appoint and set
apart Thursday, the Goth of No
vember next, to be observed by all
the people of the United States at
home or abroad, as day OF
Thanksgiving and praise TO Him
who holds the nations in the hol- !
low of His hand. / recommend
that they gather in their several
places of worship and devoutly
give Him thanks for the prospect. ;
ty wherewith He has endowed us.
for seed-time and harvest, for tho
valor, devotion and humanity Of ,
our armies and navies and for all :
His benefits to us as individuals ,
and as a nation, and that they
humbly pray for the continuance
of His divine favor, for concord
and amity with other nations, and
for righteousness and peace in all
our ways.
In witness whereof 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.
Done at the City of Washing
ton this twenty-ninth day of Oc-
tober, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred, and
of the Independence of the Unit
ed States the one hundred and
twenty-fifth.
