tribunal. In other words, the Supreme
Court has affirmed the principle that it
is lawful in this jurisdiction to take

without regard to the measure of bene-

it is maniiestly the part OF wisdom to

MARKED BY INSURGENTS.
Plot 10 Wipe Out Another American Garrison
Woman Revealed Scheme.

Manila (By Cable) A plot to massa-
ere the American garrison at Moncada,
Province of Tarlac, Island Of Luzon, has
been revealed by the wife of one of the
consprators.
Several of the town officials are impii-
Gated in the murderous scheme. The
woman who revealed the plot hid de-
tective beneath a house in which the
leaders of the conspiracy were meeting.
Arrests followed and many incriminatlng
papers were seized.
The plan was to set fire to a house
close to the barracks, after dark, and
when the soldiers came out to assist IN
cxtinguishing the flames, $50 conspira-
tors, armed with bolos, we're to rush on
the guard, capture their arms and pro-
ceed to massacre the garrison.
Advices from Tacloban, capital OF the
Island of Leyte, reported that the presi,
dentes of various towns in the island
have waited upon Brig. General Smith
and complained to him that the people
were unable to procure food, because OF
the blockade that is maintained along
the Strait of San Juanica. General
Smith replied that the strctest KIND OF
blockade would be continued until the
people of Leyte brought in their guns
and gave the authorities full information
concerning the insurgents who intest the
country. All the arguments Of the Off
cials of the towns were unayailing.
General Smith has ordered the depor-
tation OF the wife of General Lukban,
leader of the Samar revolutionists. The
wife of General Lukban was the main
cause of the refusal of the Samar insur-
gents to surrender. Some of the princi-
pal men who have been captured are
willing that their wives be held as hos
tages while they go into the field for the
purpose of persuading their relatives to
surrender.

DAY OF THANKSGIVING.
President Theodore Roosevelt Fixes Thurs
day, November 70.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD D,-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Saturday issued his
proclamation fixing Thursday, Novem-
Der 28 as day OF national thanksgv-
ing. 1t follows:
"A PROCLAMATION.
THE season is nigh when, according
to the time-halowed custom of our peo-
pie, the President appoints a day as the
especial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow Tor the death oil
a great and good President. We mourn
President Mckinley because we so
loved and honored him, and the manner
of his death should awaken in the
breasts OF our people a keen anxiety
for the country and at the same time a
resolute purpose not to be driven by any
calamity from the path of strong, or
derly popular liberty, which, as a ma
tion, we have thus far safely trod,
Yet, in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
Thanksgiving as we have. The past year
in particular has been one of peace and
plenty, We have prospered in things
material and have been able to work
for our own uplifting in things intellec-
tual and spiritual. Let us remember
that, as much has been given us, much
will be expected from us, and that true
homage comes from the heart as well
as from the lips, and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by the way in
which on this earth and at this time
each of us does his duty to his fellow
men.
Nov, therefore, I, Theodore Roose
welt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day Of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the 18th OF this
present November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people
cease from their wonted occupations and
at their several homes and places OF
worship reverently thank the Giver OF
all good for the countless blessings oi
our national life.
"In witness whereof ! have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the

Pekin (By Cable) Lii Hung Chang,
the great Chinese diplomat and states
man, died Thursday morning at II
o'clock
When the physicians visited him at 10
o'clock Wednesday night they found him
in good spirits, though extremely weak
as the result of sitting up and working
in defiance of their instructions When
they called in the morning they found
him unconscious and sinking rapidly.
Before his death the courtyard OF the
Yamen has been filled with life-size
paper horses and chairs with coolie bear
ers, which his friends had sent in accord
ance with Chinese custom to be buried
in order to carry his soul to heaven.
Ii Hung Chang was born in Ho Fei
Sheiun February 10, 1928. He rose from
the common people. From the Chinese
point of view he is one of the greatest
scholars in the world. He was gradu-
ated first in an examination of $4,000:
He could recite 10000 lines Of verse and
write poetry.
He entered public life early, and came
into international prominence in 1860,
when, as governor of Thiangsin, he en-
listed the aid of Charles Gordon, then
Colonel in the English Army and sup
pressed the Tai Ping rebellion. He was
made viceroy of the Omitted Countries
in 1865 and was minister plenipotentiary
in 1866.
He suffered degradation after the Ii
entsin massacre in 1870, but was restor-
! ed to favor in 1879.
He was chief of command of the Chi
nese forces at the beginning of the Chi
ncse-Japanese war, but was superseded
when reverses were suffered. He was
restored to favor again quickly, and at
ter the war was sent to Japan to negoti-
ate a treaty of peace.
He represented the Emperor of China
at the Cars coronation in 1896, and en-
route to St. Petersburg and return he
made a tour of the world visiting the
United States aud Canada. .--
In 1903 he was decorated with the
Chinese order of the Double Dragon
(third degree, first class), an honor
never before bestowed on Chinese sub
ject.
After the Boxer uprising and the flight
! of the Chinese court from Pekin, Ii
Hung Chang was employed by the En-
press Dowager as Intermediary with the
| foreign powers, and subsequently, with
T Prince Chung, he conducted negotiations
for peace, which ended in the acceptance
of the protocol, the terms of which have
! Just been made public.

How They Mourn in Korea.

In Korea mourning is a very lengthy
matter When a parent dies the mourn.
ing lasts for three years or more, and
for other relatives the period is shoter,
but never short. AS during a period OF
mourning marriage is not allowable, it
is easily seen that a goodly number
of deaths in the families Of each of the
betrothed pair may delay their mar.
riage far beyond the limits of human
patience, as We understand it, though
western people have no conception Of
the patience Of some Orientals. In
Korea it is not unusual for a wedding
to be delayed ten years on account of
mourning, and betrothed couples have
been kept waiting for upward of
thirty years.
