MASSACRE THREATS AS MANCHU RULER BOWS TO REBELS More Concessions to Chinese and Governing Princes Are i Stripped of Power. LATTER TO STRIKE BACK. Hankow Recaptured by Rebels in Hard Battle All Nation in a Ferment. Pt.KIXd, Oct. 31.

Coincident with thlr action of tha throne comae the newa that the rebela have recaptured Hankow after a hard battle. The transfer even of the Cabinet offices to native Chinese Is ordered In one edict an.l the Throne swears that "hereafter Manehus and Chinese shall be regarded eiiually," meaning that the elaborate system of Manchu pension! which are now paid to practically every member of the race will be discontinued and the Manehus left to earn a living by their own enterprise PRINCE READY TO LEAD IN MA.aAOW OR WgVCWGg. The announcement that most of the 1Unchu officeholders must go and that " tne Manchu pensions will be cut off Immediately produced a pronounced disaffection In the ranks of the Man ehus, and many members of this race at once began talking- In favor of a massacre of revenge. There were Indl cations already to-day that these pro posals would find support, particularly among me yuuiispr m.iitu prrineesji JJ , ow be , offices and unable longer to exploit their 9fSHl . . uncials ruwiu.uL Mitvia uv hvm. Chinese profess to have Information that Prlnoe Tsal Tao, nnole of tha baby Emperor, la willing to lead the massa cre party. Prince Tsal Tao is wall known In Europe and America All to-day's edicts, like that of yes terday, are written In the first person, as coming from the Infant Emperor himself. This Is unusual and is appar ently a devise adopted by the Throne's advisers In a pathetic attempt to creuti among tho people a feeling of personal loyalty for their sovereign. Th edicts make a complete capitu lation to the demands of the National assembly and even go ao far aa to offer aatravagast praise to th rebels for bringing about the great reform which are promlaed. The throne ab jectly acknowledges It Incapacity, pleads Ignorant of affair, asks that It lap be pardoned, and reqnaats the assletauc and advice of all cltl sens. Finally it makes a hysterical effort to rally Chinese und Manehus alike to the royal standard by hinting at grave foreign dangers which It thinks should be faced by a united China. In his struggle for existence the Infant Em peror even condemns many of his own closest relatives. The present officialdom, he deelare. has not sought the interests of the people, but only its own pockets. REBELS DOUBT SINCERITY OF THE THRONE. The revolutionists are unimpressed by the Hood of edicts from the Emperor. They declare that the dynasty's partial surrender has come too late. Moreover, they do not trust the throne, regarding their present position us too strong foi yielding to promises which they fe ire insincere. The revolutionists point out that such edicts a these, wherein the throne's own appointees and relatives are called thieves and scoundrels, do not tend to encourage c ontldefice. What thu edicts slate regarding the methods of the pragant administrators is of course ad mitted by th revolutionist, but the throne's plea of ignorance hitherto Is regarded as Incredible. But while the eritets have sp:rentiy failed of their hoped for affect In con ciliating the rebels, they have stirred up a most formidable opposition' from the Manchu Princes, who aro egpeoted to retaliate as slated.

Mj ' fcfttiL DELAYS PLEA TO MUROERCHARGE Arraigned for Poisoning Girl, Pastor's Hearing Goes Over for a Week. BOSTON, Oct. SI. rale and gaunt from his thirteen days' Incarceration In a cell In murderers' row at Charles Street Jail, the Hjtv. Clarence V. T. RlehaBOn was taken Into City POllO Court before Judge Michael M. Murray to-day. Klcheson, through former Judge Dunbar, his counsel, made no plea to the charge of murdrtng Avis Linnell by poison. The hearing was postponed until Nov. 7 by consent of the District Attorney. It was believed the Orand Jury would return an indictment before night against the Baptist pastor. To-day was the date set for the mar riage of Rloheson and his wealthy fiancee. Mies Violet Edmands. The Orand Jury suddenly adjourned yesterday until this afternoon "because ,.,.ov discovered evidence." tho na- Ul .lull ' J ture of which is being concealed by the orosccution. Soon afterward. Police Capt Armstrong. Assistant District At torney Uivelle and a stenographer set out In an automobile for Hyaiinispori, where they spun two hours In the t.tnnell home. Just What the new evidence is cannot ha learned. Rumor says it has to do ' ith the telephone conversation Hlciie- eon Is alleged to have had with Mlas Unnell on the Thursday belore her death. In which he made a luncheon en- gagemengtfor Saturday. The conversation lusted fifteen min utes, and it Is asserted that a telephone operator "out n" several times and heard part of the lalk and that her report "f "llM ' "f startling importance. About tnirty vtitneses have been heard ' ""' iUfy thus far. Among those yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. B, A. Long of the Trinity Court Cafe, No Dartmouth street, one of he places nentionea as naving seen tre- auented by Ih pregoher' ana" Miss uin- nell. Whether or not any conclusive testimony was obtained that the couple lunched together the day of the girl s death can DOt be ascertained. It negins to look as if the defense of Hlcheson will " a piea oi insanity. There have been suggestions that he was addicted to the use of drugs, and much of yesterday was occupied hy the Grand Jury in examining two physi cians who have attended him and thus who have known hlui most intimately, but it Is stated on good authority to day that no witness testlilud that he hud seen the minister take drjgs of any kind.

President Tail will review the great war ileet in the North River Thursday, and late in the afternoon the lo2 vessels composing the fled will steam out ot New York Harbor all in a line. The sight of more than one hundred vessels of war, flanked by scores of other craft, steaming down the North Kivcr, past the Battery and out through the upper and lower bays will be worth while. The problem of navigation confronting the officers of the battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, destroyers, submarines and other craft is one that Is causing them some anxiety, for such a great tleet has never been moved before through such ;i crowded mass of shipping as cls the harbor of New York. $ Tha resolution adopted by the aVgaagf HAMMERSTEIN S IE TO "PROTECT" HIM Takes Big Bundle of Five Qners to Head ( fl Wiles of lilmiJ Beauties Btslla Hammsrstln, loyal daughter af tin- only oecar Itammerateta in the world.
