What life remained within the city’s walls when the Man6hus sheat- ed their swords and returned to Purple Hill this morning was stamp ed out during the day by detach ment of the imperial army left at the scene for that purpose. Those inhab itants who escaped the butchery ol last night and yesterday, and the summary executions of Thursday, were hunted down among the char red ruins and put to death. The walls of Nanking surroupd an uncovered grave. The Manchu army of 12,000 men. The rebels, at least 25,000 strong, are encamped within a few miles of the walls, without ammunition with which to avenge the massacre. Boats and pack horses are enroute from Shanghai with great quantities ' ot cartridges and arms , but their exact whereabouts is unknown. The arrival ^of ^^this^ amjnunitlon, however, will probably - result»in an other massacre,'no less vicious than that of last nig^t but with the scene shifted to Purple Hill. The thousands of inhabitants who fled Nanking be fore the Manchus descended upon it; have joined the revolutionists, aug« menting the rebel army until it out numbers the Manchus twenty to one. This foi^ce will advance oh Purple Hill, where a desperate battle ^wiii be fought. All foreigners at ^Nanking are t>e- liev^d to have escaped with ^ their lives.

Opening Services. Bishop Hoss conducted the opening devotional service this morning. The basis of his remark^ was the account of the transfiguration as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. He said that this lesson presented three lines of thought; 1. The transfiguration itselg, 2. The coming of Moses and Elias, 3 The voice out of the cloud. Bishop Hoss emphasized also -the. importance of prayer in the life. ^He said in this connection that the Lord Jesus Christ could not get along with' out prayer and surely His followers cannot get along wlthou t prayer. “When the element of prayer fades out of ojir life,”^ he said, “there is not much left.” Five Preachers Received.
