to the investigation of Mr.. Cassidy,

your Company manufactured and
sold impure material which went into
these candies and that, when the
various dealers were arrested and
fined, at the instance of Mr.. Cassidy,
your Company paid the fines.
Upon Investigation, l have ascer

against your Company and to ex-
press my sincere regret hat I should
have fallen into this serious error.

Recent Massacre at Hankow Likely
 Hinder the Negotiations
IMPERIALISM TROOPS IN MUTINY
Kill Their Brigader General and Bombard Manchu Cit
 Beyond Control of Their Officers Soldiers Who Show the White Feather, Shot Dowl by Commanding Offcers-Hand to Hand Fighting

Picking. Nov. 2.-The massacre of na- tiVeS at Hankow by imperialist troops, intelligence of which has reached both the war board and the German lega- tlon, may prove a serious hndrancc to the peace negotiations which Yuan Shi Kai has been endeavoring to begin with the rebel leaders. The popuia- ton of Han;xow is estimated ordinarily at 500.000 but it is believed that every non -combatant who was able to es- cape proceeded into the country prior to the conflict The Hankow streets are very narrow and the houses are closely packed. There are many veal thy Chinese merchants and manuiac- turerr in gold and silver. Undoubted- " much of their valuables have been removed to the foreign concessions and down the river by boats.
 ImPeriaist Troops Beyond Control.
 The concessions are divided from tte native city by streets fifty or sixty feet wide and it will aDe difficult to protect the foreie.. nouseE from fire or even from attack, for the imperialists have evidently got beyond the control of their officers. The foreign defend CTS include marines from twelve gun boats of eight or nine nations and also volunteers from among the mis- sionaries and business people.
 Massacre Feared at Picking.
 The exodus from Picking continues, the doors of many shops as well as tl Dt4fdAS uOuStS DtiIiS tiOSth III ar ticipation of a in 1ssacre. The Ameri- can missionaries who have consulted with the legation, have decided that few soldiers placed in each of the four large mission compounds would suffice to prevent ordinary outlawry and loot ing which is expected to begin any night. But should there be q general outbreak. ali the others could take refuge in the Methodist mission, which is immediately east of the legation quarter and could be easily defended.
 lnperiaIist Troops Mutiny.
 An official despatch from Shin Kia- Tan. shan Si province. says that regiment of Shan Si troops which had been despatched to aid the imperial ists, has mutinied The mutineers kill ed their brigadier general and then bomp rded a Manchu city, massacr3ng thousand Manchus, including the governor and his family. The gov ernor's yamen wis destroyed.
 Awful Slaughter at Hankow.
 Letters dated October 29 and so from the Associated Press correspondent with the imperialist army at Hankow say that in the struggle for the pos session of the city there was hand to hand fighting in the streets, the quar- ters being too close for shooting. The rel bels mostly raw recruits, did not un- dersten nd the use of rifles, and were 6riveL back with much slaughter and their dead piled up on the quay. The casualties among the impe-ialists dur ing two days, October 25 and 29, were thirty killed and 160 wounded. Tho rebels had about 700 killed or wounded.
 ImreriaIists Poorly Provisioned.
 The fighting until the last three days,
Norwich bulletin., 1911-11-03

had not been serious, the correspon- dent continues. The rebels had the advantage in number of guns but their shells did not explode. The imperial fists had the advantage in troops, but they were poorly provisloned.
 Troops Run Trains.
 Trains come and go at all hours. The military and railway authorities are consistently cmbroiled. The railway emplcyes complain that the soldiers and officers beat them and many Of them have taken to flight. As a con- sequence some of the trains are run by soldiers who do the work badly
 CowardIy Soldiers Shot.
 General Wong Chou Yuen, com nlanding the Third brigade, and Cen eral Wong Yih Chat, commanding the Fourth division, stood bravely under fire and with reVolvers shot the sol- diers who refused to fight The casual ties in the first days engagementa were officially reported as 40 killed and 15O wounded They were prob ably much larger than that. The reb- el losses were 400 killed or wounded. only eight guns were captured from the rebels two of which had previously been rendered useless.
 RekeIs Hold ImPresnabe Pass.
 Dispatches received in Picking to- night say that the rebels occupied Chih- -Hsin on Monday last, but on tho IcllOWinE day the lmpeflaliSl6 drove them to Liang- Tze- -Kwane, an inn prcgnable pass in the mountainous country The rebels have torn up a half-mile stretch of railroad and block ed the tunnel and now hold the paER with a small body of men.
 Native City of Hankow Abla7b.
 London, Nov. "A special despatch from Shanghai says that the imperial troops set fire to the native city of Hankow on Monday night to drive ont the rebels. The city has been burning herceiy ever since.

TAPPING
 WAS NOT ILLEGAL.
Telephone President Testifies in Saeal
 Divorce Case.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 2.-That the tapping of a telephone wire for the purpose of securing evidence to be used by Louis M. Sagal, a theatrical man. in his suit for divorce against his wife Rachel, now before the superior court, was not a violation of the stat utes was stated by President John W. filling of the Southern New England Telephone company today. The testi- mony given in court. to the effect that an extension was run from MT. SaR-aPs telephone wire into the office of an at torney, by means of which a stenogra- pher secured verbatim reports of con versations said to have been carried on by Mrs. Sagal and Lee Mann, ohauf- feur, named as correspondent, has been the subject of considerable dis cussion. President filling today point ed out that the statute provides a penalty of $500 fine for any person who taps a telephone wire not leased by him. Tn the Sagal case he said the situation was different and did not come in contact with the law. as the tappin~~ was done by the lessee, and he says that any subscriber may have as many extensions as he desires for his wire so long as the requirements are met.
 Tn the divorce proceedings today Mir. Sagal was on the stand most of the morning.

CORNELIUS BLISS MIGHT
 HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT.
Mckinley Urged Him to Be Candidate
 for Vice President.

New York, Nov. 2.-That Cornelius N Bliss, former secretary of the in- terior. might have been president of the United >States had he yielded to the pleas of William Mckinley was the declaration made~to the New York chamber of commerce today by John CIafiin of this city. This interesting bit of political history was revealed at a memorial meeting of the chamber at which resolutions eulogizing MT. Bliss, who died recently, were adopt ed. MT. Claf1in, an intimate friend of the former cabinet officer, delivered the principal address at the meeting.
 He said: Tn 1900 Mckinley urged him to signify willingness to accept the nomination for vice president. If he had allowed his name to go before the national convention it Is almost certain that no other name would have been presented and he would have been elected with MT. Mckinley in that year. Two years later. on Mir. McKinley's death, he would have succeeded to the presidency of the United States.

The Iltaria reached here today from Beunos Ayres bringing him, and hi1 condition since his rescue has tul- proved materially.

The Tlsaria sighted him on Oct. 27. when, two days gut of Trinidad a small boat with @ monde script sail set was seen off the steam CTS port bow As she bore down the craft was found to be rowboat with a broomsticlS shipped as mast and @ tattered shirt set as sail The man aboard on the verge of collapse, was taken on the steamer and when he was able to speak 1t was learned that he was Arrange Rodriguez a Spanlard. from Algeria, Spain.
 Rodriguez said he was employed on the Panama canal as a labor CT and afterwards went to Caracas, Veiiezuela. While stopping in that city he hired small boat in which to go fishing and, a storm coming up, he was blown off shore in a northeasterly direction.
 Fortunately he had on board a devni- john of drinking water. For food he had to depend upon the fish he was able 70 catch, and after the demijohn of water was exhausted he managed to trap enough rain water to assuaga his thirst.
 As the days went by and grew into a month Rodriguez despaired of rescue and he, was almost too weak to sit mp when the IlSaria sighted him.
 Rodriguez was covered with sores and encrusted with salt from exposure to wind and water, but excellent care on shipboard brought him around.
