FIRE.JI •HELLING OF ANCIENT CH|NE8E CAPITAL 18 BEGUN BY REBEL8. LOSS ON BOTH SIDES HEAVY Hundreds of Imperialists Are Slain In Battle In Which Revolutionaries Advance Irresistibly--Commander of Besieged Forces Flees. Nanking.--The bombardment of Nanking, the ancient capital of China, by the revolutionary forces who have, surrounded the city for several days, has begun with an apparent determi­ nation that the last stronghold of the Manchus south of the Yangtse must eventually fall. From the Tiger Hill fort for several hours big guns spoke repeatedly, while further up along the northeast­ ern range, from the top of Purple mountain, overlooking: the Ming tombs for a fifteen mile semi-circle west­ ward to the Yangtse, smaller forts scattered shells Into every section of the city. General Wong, second in command of the defenders. Is among those killed and it is believed General Chang, chief in command, has quit the city, con­ vinced that its defense is doomed to failure. In the engagement the rebels exhib­ ited superb disregard for the perils of battle and fought with irresistible fury, crowding onward over the bodies of dead and dying comrades. The imperialists are known to have lost 1,000 men and it is reasonably certain additional hundreds of the gov­ ernment troops fell. Losses on the rebel side were enor­ mous, but these did not deter the furi­ ous advance of the attackers. The im­ perialists, never for a moment given opportunity to launch a crushing re­ taliatory movement, finally fled into the city for shelter. During the earlier part of the day the imperialists attempted a sortie against the attacking forces, with a view to recapturing their positions and guns, but were driven back in­ side the walls with heavy losses. The Tiger hill batteries, meanwhile, were pounding shells into Lion hill. They succecded in silencing the Manchu batteries there, which it is suspected were of little value. The object of the first seizure of Tiger hill was shown by the early ap­ pearance of four rebel cruisers, and later in the day of other warships. Although pillage and slaughter Is sternly forbidden by the revolutionary leaders, there is danger of a massacre In Nanking when the city falls.

Kenosha, Wis. Tortured by the men­ tal picture of his headless wife and her paramour, whom he slew at his home in Kenosha, Pasquale Marchesl, twenty-seven years old, a merchant, went to a priest and confessed the dou­ ble crime, which had theretofore not been discovered. The young avenger of his honor was turned over to the Kenosha police, who are closely guard­ ing him for fear of possible mob vio­ lence. According to Marchesl, he went home earlier at night than usual, and found his wife, Rosaria, ahd his cousin and namesake occupying Mrs. Mar- chesi's bedchamber. The younger Marchesl, who was not of age, had been a favorite of the husband, and the scene drove him mad, he said. Without allowing his presence to be­ come known Marches! went to a wood shed, procured a hand ax, crept to the bodroom and chopped off the heads of the two lovers. Taking his baby, two months old, from the arms of his slain wife, Mar­ ches! washed the blood from its face, carried It to the home of his brofcher and said his wife was ill. He returned to the house, dressed his daughter Jo­ sephine, four years old, and took her to his brother's house. Marches! then returned to the house, concealed the hatchet and began wan­ dering about the city. As morning be­ gan to dawn the specters that had haunted Marches! all night as he slunk through back streets drove him to hide in the basement of an Italian church. As the music of the morning mass came faintly to his ears from the audi­ torium above, he said, he thought he distinguished the words, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord." Then he rushed from his hiding place, went to the home of the parish priest and sought relief in confessing what he had done. After the priest had turned Mar­ ches! over to the police the slayer told a connected story of the crime, plead­ ing that he had felt justified in killing the pair at the time the deed was com­ mitted, but that later he was sorry.

"Jt was about a suit for $25,- 000 damages which Mr. Patterson had filed against Mr. Strouss for aliena­ tion of my affections." ^ "Did Mr. Patterson say anything then?" "Yes; he said be would drop the suit if I would deed the bungalow to him, turn my bank stock over to him and drop my divorce suit. " 'I'll do nothing of the kind,' I re­ plied. Then he struck me a blow full in the face and I staggered." "WThat then took place?" "He struck me again and knocked me to the ground and kicked me." "What then?" "I was struggling to my feet and he was kicking me." "And then?" "I opened my bag and got out my revolver and fired." "How many times?" "I dont know." "Do you remember anything after that?" "No." "Till when?" "Not until I awoke in jail the next day." STEAMER ASHORE ON ISLAND Liner Prinz Joachim, With W. J. Bryan Aboard, on Rock--Pas­ sengers Taken Off.

The boy himself made that plain before he went to the electric chair. Welcoming death as a relief from the torment he declared he was suffer­ ing, he walked bravely to the death chair, scorning the thirty-day reprieve Governor Mann had promised as a re­ ward .for confessing., his guilt. Beattle's confession was made pub­ lic following a conference between the ministers who counseled the pris­ oner in his last hours and Henry Clay Beattie, Sr. The ministers and the aged father decided that the confes­ sion should be made public, and this was done. The confession was as follows. "I, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., desirous of standing right before God and man, do, on this, the twenty-third day of November, confess my guilt of the crime charged against me. Much that was published concerning the details was not true, but the awful fact, with­ out the harrowing circumstances, re­ mains. For this action I am truly sorry and, believing that I am at peace with God and am soon to pass into his presence, this statement Is made. (Signed) "HENRY, CLAY BEATTIE, JR." To the confession was appended a note from the clergymen: "This statement was signed in the presence of the two attending minis­ ters and Is the only statement that can and will be made public by them. "Mr. Beattie desires to thank the many for kind letters and expressions of interest and the public for what­ ever sympathy was felt or expressed." Beattie went to his death calmly, showing not a trace of a breakdown in the iron will which had sustained him since he was arrested for the slay­ ing of his wife. Just one minute was required to snuff out the life of the condemned man. THIRTY KILLED IN PLUNGE Weds Before He Enters Prison.

AID TO PATTERSON DEFENSE Witness Tells Denver Jury Husband Knocked Wife.Down Before She Shot Him. Denver, Colo.--The defense in the trial of Mrs. Gertrude Patterson has rested its case. The most Important witness was F. J. Easton of Tacoma, Wash., who swore he saw Patterson knock his wife down and that she was lying on the ground when she shot him. The witness said he then got on a car and came down-town, not telling anyone of what he saw, and a day or two later went to Laramie, Wyo., to work. To substantiate Easton's story the defense called In rebuttal Witness Shugart, the prosecution's eye witness to the tragedy. Shugart admitted he saw Witness Easton in the vicinity about the time of the shooting. An­ other witness, who was employed to make a map of the scene of the shoot­ ing, testified that one bullet had en­ tered the wall surrounding a house on a straight line about eighteen inches from the ground. This, defense con­ tends, shows that Mrs. Patterson was on the ground when she fired it. JURY HOLDS MRS.

OFFICIAL INVIMTIOH TO AUEJUGAHS HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME OF AM&RICAN8 TO WEST­ ERN CANADA. During the course of a reply to an address presented to Hon. Robert Rog­ ers, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior of Canada at a banquet given at Winnipeg In his honor that gentleman spoke on immigration. Th« tone of his remarks was that he Intend­ ed to pursue an aggressive and for­ ward policy In the matter of immigra­ tion. In part, he said: "The most Important branch per­ haps of that department (Interior) is that of immigration. "If there is anything more than an­ other we want here It is a greater pop­ ulation, and it shall be my duty to pre­ sent to the people in all parts of the world where desirable emigrants are to be found the advantages and the great possibilities of this country. We have received in the past a reasonably large immigration from south of the international boundary, end in thle connection let me say just a word for our American cousins who have found happy homes amongst us, and those whom we hope to welcome in greater numbers in the years to come. There are hundreds of thousands of them In our prairie provinces, happy in the en­ joyment of a freedom as great as they ever knew, and all contributing in a material way towards the development of Canada. We are not blind to their value as settlers. They come better equipped with scientific farming knowledge than most of our emi­ grants, and constitute* without doubt the wealthiest class of emigrants any new country has ever known. As head of the immigration department it will be my privilege to offer them a welcome hearty and sincere, and to •o contribute to their welfare that un­ der the protecting folds of tho Union Jack they will enjoy as great a degree of liberty and happiness as under the Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov­ ernment cherishes nothing but the kindliest feelings for the people of the great republic to the south, atM will do all in its power to increase the bonds of kinship and neighborly good feeling that has so long existed. (Hear, hear.) "While we adopt a vigorous emi­ gration policy in that country, we will also adopt the same vigorous policy in other p^rts of the world. We will go to England, Ireland and Scotland, and every other country irrespective of race, creed or nationality, where wo can find suitable and desirable emi­ grants for this great country. I think much good work can be done In those countries, and especially perhaps at the present time In England, Ireland and Scotland. Now, then, it will be my duty to stir up that policy in the most vigorous manner possible." A DIFFERENCE. m1 ^ Tes8ie--I suppose you won't marry unless you find one girl in a million.

A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician who at once pro­ nounced the disease eczema. The lit­ tle fellow was under treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I be­ came discouraged. I dropped the doc­ tor's treatment, and commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly bet­ ter. When he was about seven months old, all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in bolls which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old be was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beauti­ ful, and his head a mass of silky curls. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and<t feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies."'
