THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
ny the President of the United
States.

ny the Ffe01Qenb OF the United
~ States.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--The following
was issued this afternoon:
It is very glad incident OF the marvellous
prosperity which has crowned the year now
drawing to close that its helpful and reassuring
touch has been felt by all our people 1t has been
as wide as our country and so special that every
home has felt its comforting influence
1t is too great to be the work of mans power
and too particular to be the device of his mind.
To God, the beneflcent and the all-wise, who
makes the labors of men to be fruitful, redeems
their losses by his grace, and the measure of
whose giving is as much beyond the thoughts of
man as it is beyond his deserts the praise and
gratitude of the people Of this favored nation are
justly due.
Now, therefore, L. Benjamin Harrison, presi-
dent of the United States of America, do hereby
appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November
present, to be day Of joyful Thanksgiving to
God for the preservation OF those institutions Of
civil and religious liberty, which he gave our
fathers the wisdom to devise and establish, and
us the courage to preserve. Among the appre-
pirate observances Of the day are rest from toll,
worship in the public congregation, the renewal
of family ties about our American fresides and
thoughtful helpfulness towards those who suffer
lack of the body of the spirit.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my
~ hand and cansed the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city
( LIS. of Washington this 18th day of Novem-
Der, in the year Of our Lord, 1891, and
of the Independence of the United
States the 10th. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

A City Enjoined From Fixing the
Price of an Article OF Consump.
ton. -..-- 81
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1S.-An important
decision affecting the authority of cities to
control and regulate corporations enjoy
ing street franchises was rendered by
Judge Jackson in the United States court
to-day. Some time ago the city council
passed an ordinance reducing the price of
gas from 81 to Coo. thousand. The Gas
company went into tie United States
court and asked for relief in
equity, claiming that the pro-
posed reduction meant virtual con-
fscation of their property, which was
contrary to the clause of the federal consti-
tuition preventing the taking uf property
without due process of law The city de-
INJURED on the ground that the federal
court had no jurisdiction. Judge jackson
to-day overruled the demurrer and granted
an injunction against the city. He held
that the city had no right to fix the price
of an article of which it was consumer,
and that the action of the council would
impair the validity of a contract made
with the gas company in 1916.

Discovery of a scheme to Create a
Representative Assembly.
LONDON, Nov. ia st. Petersburg
dispatch states that short time ago the
police discovered that conspiracy was
under way there. They found the con-
spirators in St. Petersburg were only a
part of very numerous band, the head
quarters of which was in Moscow. They
learned also that the conspirators had
been very active in securing adherents and
that the conspiracy had ramifications
which spread to all the principal cities of
the empire. -.
The object of the conspiracy was the or
ganization of a movement having for its
end the creation of a representative as

dream of many Russians for years. Sixty
members of the nobility and of the upper
and middle classes who, are charged with
completely in the conspiracy have been ar
rested, The discovery of the plot and the

THE BARNABY MURDER CASE.

THE BARNABY MURDER CASE.
witnesses on Their Way to Denver
The Trial to, Begin n Week From
Tuesday-Testimony Taken In Prov
fdence.
PROVIDENCE, Nov. 13.-District Attor-
ney Stevens, of Denver, and Mr.. J. b. Con-
rad, son-in-law of Mrs. Josephine A. Bar
naby, for the murder of whom DR.. T.
Thatcher Graves will be tried in Denver on
the Oath inst, left this city tonight for
New York, having occupied two days in
the examination of witnesses from Connec-
ticut and this state to appear for the pros
ecution. Superintendent Cornish of the
Boston Pinkerton agency has been in con-
sultation with them, and as the result of
their investigation it Is said the govern
ment will introduce forty witnesses. Con-
siderable additional testimony has been
obtained from Danielsonville and neigh
boring towns in Connecticut which, it is
claimed, reflects seriously upon DIR.
Graves reputation while residing there,
based upon allegations of malpractice.
District Attorney Stevens says that the
trial will probably occupy four weeks and
that Judge A. j. Rising, one of the Oldest
and most prominent jurists in the west,
will preside over the trial. The counsel
for the government will include District
Attorney Stevens, Judge Bedford and
Thomas Ward, jr., chief assistant in the
district attorneys department, while DR..
Graves has retained the law firm of Wells,
Macon & Furman. Colonel Daniel R.
Ballou of this city, who will be assisted by
the defendants counsel, has sharply crit
cised the course of the district attorney,
in giving his personal attention to the pro-
curement of evidence, in newspaper in
this city and has reflected severely upon
the character and methods of the Colorado
people. Messrs. Stevens and Conrad
pronounce the statement as breach
of professional ethics and promise SEN
sational developments in the trial,
pointing to collision between Colonel Bal
lou as attorney recommended by DR.. Graves
and the other as agent and physician rec
commended by Colonel Ballou in obtaining
possession of Mrs. Barnaby's property.
They claim that Colonel Ballou may well
feel in honor bound to go to Denver to de-
fend one with whom he was so intimately
associated in transactions which can ill
bear the light of judicial investigation.

The Recollection of John sherman
Apparently Assured.

The Ae.elec1On OF John Sherman
Apparently Assured.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.-Notwithstand-
ing rumors to the contrary, there is good
evidence here that Senator Sherman will
have large majority of the republican
caucus in the Ohio legislature for senator
and be reelected without serious opposi-
sion. The buster of his enemies cannot
conceal the fact that the drift since cleo
ton has been all his way. Many members
of the legislature who were rated as Fora
ker men are declaring unequivocally for
Sherman.
The Leader has undertaken to get direct
expressions of opinion from all the repub-
lican members elect, and prints the Sec
ond instalment of replies this morning.
Thus far 46 of the 81 members have re
piled, and the poll stands: Sherman "a,
Foraker 2, Mckinley 1, non committal 10.
OF the last, at least one-third are for
Sherman, but will express no preference
yet.
A shrewd and conservative political OBJ
server gives it as his opinion this morn
ing that Foraker will not go before the
caucus in opposition to Sherman, and
that, if he should, he will not receive half
as many votes as will be cast for Sherman.
