Both the Imperialists and the Rebels Have Adopted the Most Barbarous Prac- tices in the Conflict in China.
MEN, WOMEN, AND
 CHILDREN SLAIN
Manchu Soldiers Have Now Broken From All Re straint and Have En- gagged in Indiscriminate Killing at Hankow.

PEKING, Nov 2-The massacre of natives at Hankow. news of which reached both the war board and the German legation. may prove a serious hindrance to negotiations which Yuan Shi Kai has been endeavoring to me- gotiate with the rebel leaders. Imps- rialist troops apparently got beyond control and further fighting is feared. In such case it may be difficult to protect the foreign concessions, as they are divided from the rest of the city only by streets fifty feet wide.
 It is reported that the war board in Peking refused to accept the offerot foreign doctors to form a Red Cross society along the line of the Geneva convention, taking the stand that the rebels are not deserving of humane treatment.
 The exodus from Peking continues. Missionaries have had a conference with the legation and decided that the soldiers now stationed at each of ths mission compounds are sufficient 10 prevent any ordinary outlawry and footing which is expected to begin any night Should there be a general out break. all will take refuge in the Methodist mission, which is immedi- ately east of the legation quarter. and easily defended.
 An official dispatch from Shih Kaf Tan, in the Shan Si province, says that a regiment of soldiers sent to assist the imperialists. mutined. killed the commander and then bombarded the Manchu city and massacred nearly a thousand Manchu inhabitants in- cluding the governor and his family. Letters from the Associated Press cor respondent with the Imperial army at Hankow, dated October 30. sav most of the Hankow fight was kand-t0- hand. The rebels are inexperienced with bayOnets and were driven back with a loss of 700 dead. The Imperi- alist loss is thirty killed and 1so wounded. The rebels captured alive were shot or decaDitated.
 The German legation today received a wireless message from the vicinity of Hankow. stating the imperial forces are burning the native quarters of the city and confirm yesterdays dispatch es that the imperial troops have mas sacred men. women and children. It is evident the Manchu soldiers are fu- riOus over the early successes of the Chinese. and have broken from the control of the officers

SOUNDS SENSATIONAL
Former Turkish Grand Vizier Says His Policy Was Based on As
 surances From Germany

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Daily Tele- grams COnstantinople correspondent says a sensation has been caused by the revelation of Hakka Bey, eX- grand vizier, that if he is impeached for the defense of Tripoli he would declare that the German ambassador repeatedly assured him Italy never would send a regiment or ships to Tripoli For that reason his cabinet did not consider it necessary to dis patch troops, or war munitions to Tripoli.

For These Things We Give rbank,.

Thanksgiving day we should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things:
For clean name, unsullied by ques-
uonable transactions, honorable in
human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished us before birth and made
careful preparation FOR our coming.
For wholesome food, sufficient cloth
Ing, and comfortable shelter until our
coming of age, or during the lifetime
OF our parents.
For education. according 10 the best

own livings.
For such knowledge OF our bodies
and minds, and such reverence for
them as makes intemperance impos-
sible.

words are not only hortatory, but
