land, President of the United States.
do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the Both day of the present
month of November. as q day of thanks
giving and praise. to be kept and observed
by all the people of our land. On that day
let us forego our ordinary work and en-
ployments and assemble in our usual
places of worship, where we may recall all
God has done for us. and where from
grateful hearts our united tribute of praise
and song may reach the Throne of Grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoy
ment to duty, and let generous gifts of
charity for the relief of the poor and needy
prove the sincerity of our Thanksgiving.

The Cry That Rang Through the
Streets of Vienna.
Riots That May Eventuate i'm Serious
Disaster to the House Of
Hapsburg.

VIENNA, Nov. 3.-There was fierce fight
ing in this city tonight. caused by an at
tempt of the socialists to invade the hall
where meeting of Liberals was being
held for the purpose of passing a vote of
want of confidence u DR.. Kronawetter and
the representatives OF Vienna in the
Reichsrath. The meeting was originally
fixed for Friday last, but was prevented by
the action of the Radicals in refusing to
allow the Liberals to proceed. Further
interference was anticipated tonight, and
a strong force OF police was on hand.
BY 80 o'clock the street leading to the
hall was thronged with clamorous mob
of socialists and workmen intent upon mis-
chief. They shouted Down with the Lib
erals Down with the cowardly enemies
of the people!' and sang the labor song,
He'd Arbeit." The mob finally made q
charge upon the police and the officers
were roughly handled and the commanding
inspector was knocked down and trampled
upon. His men in trying to save him
welded their sabers right and left with
great ferceness.
The scene for time was fearful one.
Both sides fought savagely and the result
was that there were many bloody heads
among the mob, while the police were
bruised and beaten and their uniforms
torn. The fight caused panic among the
people in the vicinity and houses and
sbops were closed The police finally tee-
phoned for Ie-enforcements, which soon
arrived. and the mob was then driven out
of the street and at last dispersed, but
later gathered in different parts of the
city and listened to violent speeches. At
o'clock the excitement continued, and
the police in strong force were engaged in
breaking up different gatherings. Three
rioters were arrested. including the man
who ledithe attack.
At 10:30 p NJ. the streets were quiet, but
the socialists afterward made a demon
stration In front of the palace of the Arch
duke Wilhelm, shouting, ''Long live the
republicP The police made number of
furious charges before they succeeded In
scattering the mob. and many rioters were
wounded

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-"The adjourn
ment of this long to be remem bered ses-
sion of Congress brings with it a great sense
of relief"
Senator VOORHEES, had been asked by an
Associated Press representative for an in
terview, and il was with the above state
ment he began. Continuing. he said: 1--WE
met amid the crash of business disasters,
bauk failures and all the distressful incl
dents of one OF the worst financial panlcs
ever known in this or any other counry; we
adjourn with quiet business circles and a
fair degree of restored confidence prevail
ing in all parts of the country. 1t will. of
course, take time for the various business
pursuits to fully recover from the oveI-
whelming financial shock and depression
which has afflicted the country for the last
six months, but the signs of healthy i'm.
DToVement are now visible on every hand
and good Omens for the employment of
labor cheer US from all quarters"
When requested to state his views about
future legislation the Senator only con-
sented to say: "The revision of the tariff
ought now to follow. The regular session
is only thirty days distant and / predict
that we will enter upon solid and lasting
career Of prosperity for the laboring and
producing masses in every section OF our
beloved union"
VOORHEES, said further, In reply to ques-
tion: "On the Democratic side of the
Chamber. while there are very strong diff
ferences of opinion, / do not know of a
single unfriendly feeling left By the pro-
tracted discussion. Neither party organi-
zation nor personal relations have been
disturbed. We will take up our work on
the tariff aud other great questions when
we meet here in December as if nothing
had happened to mar our peace with one
another. or to impair our strength for the
public good. Our faith in the present able
and thoroughly patriotic administration
has never been greater than now. and to
my mind the future wears bright and
promising aspect"

THEY FOUND A BOMB.
1t Created Something of a Scare
in Scotland Yard.
Only an Old Shell Picked Up on a
FranCosPrussian Field of
Battle.

LONDON, Nov 3-The Globe this after
noon prints report to the effect that a
bomb was found Wednesday upon the
buttress of Westminster bridge, close to
the houses of Parliament. II was put
under examination at Scotland Yard to
determine whether it was loaded.
The shell. which was found by water
men, Is conical iron bomb. weighing ten
pounds, with fuse screwed into the little
end. There was with it mum Der of large
cartridges loaded with bullets.
When the rumor of the find got out the
police at first made light of it when ques.
toned, but now they admit these imple.
ments of death and destruction were con.
nected with dynamite plot. though they
insist it is one of small importance. Ii i:
the general belief. however. that it is 8
very grave matter, and that it was the in.
tention to damage the bridge. if not tc
blow up the House Of Commons. The
she'll was found on the side OF the bridge
furthest from the House of Commons.
The Graphic prints the following, which
1t received from news agency: "The Scot
land Yard detectives traced the shell found
on the buttress of Westminster bridge to
its late owner, who explains its presence in
the place where it was found. The man
says he picked it up on one of the battle
fields after the Franco-Prussian war, and
that it had been in his possession up to a
day or two ago. He at last made up his
mind that 1t might be dangerous, and con.
Guiding to get rid of it he dropped it from
Westminster bridge, as he thought, into
the river"

LAST STAND OF THE IMPI.
There Has Been a Second Great
Battle in MatabeleIand.
SOME TROUBLE IN PARLIAMENT.
Gladstone's Government Has Some
Rough Sailing in the Matter of
South African Conquest.

LONDON, Nov. st is reported that a
heavy battle has occurred between the
British and the Matabeles, and that King
Lo Bengula has been captured.
In the House of Commons to-day Par
liamen tary Secretary of the Colonial Office
Sidney Burton, replying to question on
the subject, said that no information ad-
ditioDal to that contained in the press
dis "a tches had been received from Mata-
beleland. and be was not in position to
state what the Governments future policy
would be in connection with the Matabele
dispute. Continuing. Burton said he was
glad 10 say that only 500. and not 40O0
men had been slain in the decisive en-
gagement which took place between the
Mata beles and the colopisls.
Morton asked whether the Government
approved of the murder of the Matabeles
for the purpose of pluDdering and selling
their lands, and the Speaker called the
questioner to order.
1t was further stated on behalf of the
Government that the recent firing upon
King Lo Bengula's envoys near Goold
Adams camp had caused the Government
considerable annoyance and will lead to
an inquiry into the action of the British
commander on the spot The officer re-
.erred to says the envoys were mistaken
for hostile natives and that they were fired
upon when they resisted arrest after their
temporary detention had been ordered.
Be this as it may, two of Lo Bengula's
ENJOYS were undoubtedly shot and killed
while they were running away from Goold
Adams camp and there does not seem to
be any justification for the shooting. Sir
Henry Loeb is determined to probe this
| matter to the utmost, and is said TO have
ordered the arrest of the officer in CON-
mand at Goold Adams camp pending an
inquiry into the shooting. The facts in
| the case have been communicated TO the
Marquis of Rpon. Secretary Of State for
| the colonies. who has ordered strict in
qairy to be made into all the circum-
stances. The shooting of King Lo Ben gula's
ENJOYS, it is understood. has caused the
Colonial Office to send still more explicit
instructions to the High Commissioner. Sir
| Henry Loeb, to prevent il possible any
further bloodshed.
A dispatch to the Daily News from Fort
| Victoria says: From native runners it was
| learned that the Matabees lost 200 men in
skrmishing on the march, 500 in the bat
| tie at the lager, and $50 in fighting on the
following day. The news respecting the
| capture of Buluwayo is awaited with some
anxiety, as it could scarcely have been ac-
| complished without severe fighting.

CLOSING ITS WORK.
The Senate Finished Up Promptly All
That 1t Cared to Do.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Senate to-
day passed the House joint resolution for
fnal adjournment at o'clock this after
noon, so at that hour the extra session will
close. The resolution was not passed with
out opposition. Coke. Dolpb, Harris, Call,
Berry. Mills, Allen and PETER spoke
against adjOurning, on the ground that
there was important business which onght
to be transacted promptly. Allen declared
that the Populists were prepared for work
They were in Congress 10 assist in passing
proper tariff bill and enacting other
needed legislation. Cockrill said it was
futile to attempt 10 keep quorum in the
Senate until the opening of the regular
session, and Gray agreed with him. Gull
iom said he would vote for the resolution
because he believed the majority desired to
adjourn, and added. if Congress would, be-
fore adjoCrnlng, announce to the country
that it did not intend to either repeal the
election law or the tariff law, 1t would be
doing very good piece of work. Black
burn favored the resolution, which was
then passed.
The House bill in aid Of the Worlds
Fair prize winners exhibition to be held
in New York City was passed.
After appointing members of the join t
committee to wait on the President to in
form him that Congress was ready to ad-
journ, the Senate went into executive ses-
sion, and confirmed james z. Roosevelt

following Postmasters: Abram B. Hawk

at Cheyenne. Wyo. The nomination of n
C. As,wood of New York to be Consul at

adjourned without confirming the nomina-
ton of Horn blower for the United States
Supreme Bench. This has the effect of
rejection. The President, therefore, will
be compelled to send in his name again or
nominate a new man.
When the Senate opened its doors after
the executive session Ran som informed the
Senate that the President had no further
communications to make, and the Vice
President then made an acknowledgment
for the resolution of thanks and then ad-
