WOULD RUIN THE EMPIRE.
China Unable to Pay 45o,ooo,ooo Taels
in Gold. H.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Minister WI
is hopeful that China will be the power
to submit the second case for the arbi-
tration of The Hague tribunal; He is
working hard to induce the powers
parties to the treaty of Peking to con-
sent to arbitrate the important ques-
tion as to whether the indemnities to
be paid them shall be paid on gold
or a silver basis. The issue is of the
utmost Importance to China, in fact
it is said that the insistence of the
powers upon the settlement on the
gold basis would mean the ruin of the
Chinese empire which is totally un-
able to pay the vast sum of nearly 450.-
100000 taels in gold.

NAMES THANKSGIVING day.
President Appoints Thursday, Novem-
Der 27, as Day for National
Thanksgiving.
Recommends that People Render Heart
felt Thanks for Year Of Peace
and Plenty.
Deeds as Well as Words Should In
dicate Thankfulness Of People
for Gifts.

y Washington, Oct. 30.-President
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
designing Thursday, Nov. 27, as day
of Thanksgiving. The proclamation
is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
Over century and a quarter has
passed since this country took it's place
among the nations of the earth and
during that time we have had on the
whole more to be thankful for than
has fallen to the lot of any other peo-
pie. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur
dens, each to face its special crises
and each has known years of grim
trial, when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign levy;
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drouth or flood or pesti-
lence; when in bodily distress and an
guish of soul it paid the penalty of fol-
" and forward heart. Nevertheless.
decade by decade, we have struggled
onward and upward; we now abun-
dainty enjoy material well being and
under the favor of the Most High we
are striving earnestly to achieve moral
and spiritual uplifting. The year that
has just closed has been one of peace
and overlooking plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed greater prosperity
than we are now enjoying. For this
we render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Giver of Good; and we seek to
praise Him, not by words only, but by
deeds, by the way in which we do our
duty to ourselves and to our fellow
men.
Nov, therefore, I, Theodore Roose:
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gener-
al thanksgiving, Thursday, the TWEEN
ty-seventh Of the coming November,
and do recommend that throughout the
land the people cease from their or
binary occupations and in their sew
eral houses and places of worship rem
der thanks unto Almighty God for the
manifold blessings of the past year.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed"

NO SIGNS OF WELDING.
Breach Widening Between Michigan
Students and Teachers.

Students and Teachers.
Lansing, Mich, Oct. 30.-The strik-
ing Michigan Agricultural college stu
dents held another mass meeting DUR
ing the morning and decided that in
case any paper appears from the fac
ulty for students to sign it shall not
be signed until it has been brought UP
and passed on in mass meeting Of the
students. This only widens the breach
between the students and faculty. A
Halloween resolution was also adopted,
by the provisions of which every stu
dent binds himself to stay in his room
that night and not to cut up capers.
There are no signs Of yielding on,
either side as yet. #

has been received by the immigration
officials that in addition to the 1900
Doukhobors who arrived here Tuesday
400 more are on the road and 800 are
preparing to desert their villages and
farms. The leaders of the fanatics
have no practical nor definite idea as
to future action, They desire, they
say, to convert people and find the

religious-crazed settlers look much

HUNTING FOR HEIRS OF
MRS. HANNAH BlAYLOCK

Judge Adams has received a letter
from j. l.. Cameron, president of the
board of trustees of the Ohio Sol
diers' and Sailors Home, inquiring
after information concerning one
Mrs. Hannah Blaylock. who is sup
posed to have died in this city some
few years ago.
The letter relates that a small es-
tate has been left her and some trace
of her is desired on account of the
fact that she is supposed to have left
a couple of children who are entitled
to the property. a search of old di-
rectories and death records fails to
disclose anyone bearing the above
name.

since the train robbery, and incl

upon no less n charge than that he
was one of the very train robbers
he was trying to capture. Things
looked black for time, but Ben fin

association an informal gathering
was held in the gymnasium last even
ing by the members of his classes.
About fifty of those he has in

lily form and vigor met at 5 o'clock
and donned their gymnasium cos
tunes. For half an hour they were
led through the old PAGES by Mr..
Pcntland. Then j. +. Penny, vice
president of the association, in be-
half of the others, presented him
with complete outfit of gymnasium
apparel TO use when he assumes his
new place. Mr.. Penny expressed the
regret that all felt at being called
upon to sever the pleasant relations
that had existed between the instruc-
tor and his classes and gave assur-
ancc of the good wishes that accom-
panied the present. Mr.. Pentland in
his response touched upon the pleas
ure he had experienced in his work
here owing to the spirit of coOpera-
ton shown by the members of his
classes. and conveyed his thanks for
the token of appreciation of which
he had become the recipient.
The session ended with period of
