Thanksgiving Proclamation BY
The President of the United
States.
"A PROCLAMATION.

"The American people have al
ways abundant cause to be thank
full to Almighty God, whose watch
full care and guiding hand have
been manifested in every stage of
their National life, guarding and
protecting them in time of peril,
and safely leading them in the
hour of darkness and danger. 1t is
fitting and proper that Nation
thus favored should on one day
in every year, for that purpose
especially appointed, publicly
acknowledge the goodness of God,
and return thanks to Him for all
His gracious gifts.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the Goth day
of November instant, as a day of
public Thanksgiving and prayer,
and do invoke the observance Of
the same by all the people OF the
land. On that day let all secular
business be suspended, and let the
people assemble in their usual
places of worship, and with prayer
and songs of praise devoutly testify
their gratitude to the Giver of
every good and perfect gift, for all
that He has done for us in the year
that has passed; for our preser-
walton as united Nation, and for
our deliverance from the shock and
danger of political convulsion for
the blessings Of peace and for our
safety and quiet while wars and
rumors of wars have agitated and
afflicted other nations of the earth
for our security against the scourge
of pestilence, which in other lands
has claimed its dead by thousands
and filled the streets with mourn
ers; for plenteous crops which re.
ward the labor of the husbandman
and increase our Nations wealth
and for the contentment through.
out our borders which follows in
the train of prosperity and album
dance.
"And let there also be on the
day thus set apart a reunion OF
families, sanctified and chastened
by tender memories and associ.
atoms, and let the social inter
course Of friends, with pleasant
Renaissance, renew the ties Of
affection and strengthen the bonds
of kindly feeling.
"And let US by no means forget,
while we give thanks and enjoy
the comforts which have crowned
our lives, that truly grateful hearts
are inclined to deeds of charity,
and that a kind and thoughtful re-
mem brance of the poor will double
the pleasure of our condition, and
render our praise and thanksgiving
more acceptable in the sight of the
Lord.
"Done at the City of Washington,
this second day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty
five, and the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
tenth.

A PANAMA OUTRAGE,

Americans Seized and Imprisoned by
the Rebel Leader.
Washington, March 3l-United States
Consul-General Adamson, at Panama,
telegraphed the secretary of state this
morning as follows: Preston, the rebel
leader, has seized the Pacific steamship
ut Colon and imprisoned the captain,
purser, Consul Wright and other
Americans. I urged Commander Kane,
Of the Galena, to rescue the citizens and
property at all hazards. Instructions are
desired. Upon receipt of the dispatch
the secretaries of state and navy had
consultation. Secretary Whitney then
ordered by telegraph Admiral Ianett,
now at New Orleans, to proceed to Key
West with the Tennessee and Swatara and
await further instructions. An order was
also sent the commander o: the Alliance,
now also at Key West, instructing him
to proceed at once to Aspinwall. The
secretary also telegraphed Commander
Kane, of the Galena, at Aspinwall, and
asked why he had not protected Ameri-
can citizens and property in the trouble
yesterday. He directed him to afford all
protection possible while the difficulty
continues. 1t is understood the matter
is now under consider alton at cabine9
meeting.
The following is the dispatch sent by
Secretary Whitney to Commander Kane.

One OF the incidents of the late legis
latlve session is recalled by the visit
here of Hon. E. II. Mcintyre, OF Plank
inton. The bill making an appropriation
for the Plankinton reform school (after
wards vetoed by the governor) was ur
for passage in the council. A membe,
from the Plankinton district was urging
its passage among the loyal southerners
He was finally told that they
would vote for it, not because of any re.
gard for present representatives of the
Plankinton element, bat because the re.
form school was located in the first in.
stance through the efforts of its then
member of the council, E. II. Mcintosh

against the corruption of the session OF

Washington correspondence states
that in answer to suggestion that the
re-appointment of Pearson might create
dissatisfaction in the ranks of bis party,
the president is represented as saying
the democratic party is neither hypo-
critical, uapatriotio nor ungratefnl. A
gentleman very near the president. and

A Washington special to the st. Paul
Pioneer Press says:
Charges are to be preferred against
the Yankton postmaster, Wheeler Bow.
en-, on the ground of violating civil
service orders by engaging in political
work of a reprehensible sort.
This information is not unexpected te
the Yankton postmaster. He has twice
been invited to reslgn-once by the
democratic aspirant for his place, L. d
Farmer, and again by Mr.. Parmer'l
friends. The last request was accom-
panied by threat that unless he re
signed charges would be preferred
against him. As he could not accep
the terms of this humiliating proposl
ton, it is probable that the threat viii
be carried out.
