By the President of the I'uitod States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
It has pleased Almighty God to bring
our nation in safety and honor through
another year. The works of religion and
charity have every where been manifest.
Ourcountry has been blessed with abun
dant harvests. I.ahor and the industries
of the people have prospered beyond all
precedent. Our commerce has spread
over the world. Our power and in
fluence in the cause of freedom and en
lightenment have extended over the
distant seas and lands. The lives of
our official representatives and many of
our people in China have been marvel
ously preserved. We have been gener
ally exempt from estilence and other
great calamities, and even the tragic
visitation which overwhelmed the city
of Galveston made evident the senti
ments of sympathy and Christian char
ity by virtue of which we are one united
people.
Now, therefore, I, William McKinley,
President of the United Mates, do
hereby appoint and set apart Thursday,
the 29th day of Noycniler next, to !
observed by all the people of the United
Slates, at home and abroad, as a day of
thanksgiving and praise to him who
holds the nations in the hollow of his
hand. I recommend that they gather
in their several places of worship and
devoutly give hint thanks for the pros
perity wherewith he has endowed us,
for seed time and for the harvest, for the
valor, devotion and humanity of our
armies and navies, and for all his tiene
tits to us as individuals and as a nation,
and that they humbly pray for the con
tinuance of his divine favor, for concord
and amity with other nations and for
righteousness and eace in all our ways.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to lie attixed.

I Guilty Chinamen Die to Escape
Punishment for Their Crimes.
The Chinese Minister at Washington has received a dispatch stilting
that Kuug Vi, a member of the Cabinet with Hung Lu, and one of the
intense anti-foreign lenders, whose punishment was demanded by the
Powers, died of illness on the IHth instant; also, that Yu Sicn, the late
Governor of Shan Si, who Is said to have been resonsible for the death of
many missionaries, has committed suicide by swallowing gold leaf. Min
ister' Wu regards this act us a sign of the disfavor they have received from
the throne. Kaug Vi was one of the ringleaders and held the position of
Assistant Grand Secretary ami President of the Civil Hoard, and also was
one of the statesmen making in the Privy Council or Cabinet, which is
the body nearest the throne. Following the demands of the Powers for
his punishment, an edict was ismed handing him over to the board of
Censors to consult and decide upon a penalty for his misdoing. The same
edict ordered the punishment of Prince Tuan, but it was thought that the
Tuan influence would secure leniency for Rung VI and for others. The
dispatch shows, however, that Kung Vi himself recognized that there was
no hope of imperial favor. Although the dispatch to Minister Wu says
that only Hang Vi "died" on the IHth instant, it is thought that his
"death was the natural result of the disgrace which has overtaken the
anti-foreign ami li oxer element. Governor Vu's method of suicide is
iieculiar to ('tiiua. It is a means by which high personages take their
lives, the gold leaf being representative of their high station. The leaf
forms a ball in the canals of the body and brings death from suffocation.
Minister Wu's advices also show that Prince Tuan had been visited with
severe censure from the throne, and to such an extent that it would lie no
surprise if he followed the course of Kung Vi and Yu. He has been pre
vented from accompanying the imperial court to Siting Fu and remains at
Shan Si, cut off from further influence on the throne. It is expected that
he will be banished, which, to a Prince of the blood, is worse than decapi
tation, and under the idea of propriety, suicide is likely to he his end.
Minister W'l laid his dispatch before Secretary Hay, And, still,
these reported deaths may be u lake.
