Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. "A Pugi-
listic encounter took place near here
yesterday. The matter was kept very
quiet, so that the officers would not at
tempt to stop it. The entire party went
to the scene of the battle in boat
chartered here. George Fitzgerald of
St. Louis bested Professor J. J. Miller
heavyweight of Los Angeles, Cal, in
limited contest of FIVE rounds. Had
they fought three more rounds, Fitz
gerald would have put Miller out for
keeps. The mill took place five miles
west of this city, near Claysville on
sand bar in the middle of theIMissour'
river.

London, Nov. 2.-The Daily News
will tomorrow publish a letter from an
English merchant in the Philippine
Islands that was dispatched to London
on September 80. The writer alleges
that horrible atrocities have been per-
petrated by both the rebels and the
Spaniards, and more especially by
the latter, who torture their prison
ers, particularly when they are
prominent men, with a view to fore
ing them to confess completely in the
rebellion. He declares that in some cases
prisoners hands have been nailed to
walls, while in other cases thumbscrews
have been used. A hundred prisoners
were thrown in one night into a dun
geon in the fortress at Manila, where
there was hardly room for thirty. The
place was worse than the Black Hole of
Calcutta. The poor wretches were up
to their knees in filthy, putrid mud. A
reign of terror exists in Manila and
elsewhere in the islands. Wholesale
arrests are made daily of innocent and
guilty persons.
The writer adds that the rebellion is
due solely to the rotten and corrupt ad-
ministration of the Spaniards, which the
natives are unable to endure any long
err. The outlook is of the blacklist de-
scription, and business is at complete
tandstill. The writer was compelled to
leave his estate, the government refus
ing to guarantee his safety there.
Prisoners are executed by the whole
sale. In treating of this subject, the
writer describes the shooting of four
men on the public promenade. The
troops held their rifles SO close to the
heads of the condemned men that when
the weapons were discharged their
heads were blown to atoms. Crowds of
Spanish women went to see these four
rebels executed.

Los Angeles, Nov. AT Buena Park
yesterday morning Harley R. Moon was
killed by bull About Z O'Clock he
undertook to lead the powerful beast on
to pasture. The animal, which is horn
less, suddenly knocked him down. Mr..
Moon tried to rise, but IKE beast charged
upon his half-prostrate form and paved
him furiously. Moon screamed in his
agony, but no help was at hand, and his
life was sooa stamped out.
Moon was an old soldier, having
served in the civil var with the One
Hundred and Sixteenth Indiana infanZ
try. He came to California some time
ago from Logansport, Ind. He was s.
years of age and highly esteemed in his
district.

THANKSGIVING.
Annual Proclamation by the Presi-

Annual Proclamation by the Presi-
dent.
MWashington, Nov by the presi-
dent of the United States:
The people of the United State should
never be unmindful of the gratitude
they owe to the God of Nations for his
watchful care which has shielded them
from fire disaster, and pointed out to
them the way of peace and happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to acknowl-
edge with contrite hearts their prone
ness to turn away from Gods teachings
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, 1t is fitting that on a day
especially appointed we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and snpplication.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
10th day of the present month of No
vember, to be kept and observed as day
of thanksgiving and prayer throughout
our land On that day let every people
forego their usual work and occupation
and assemble in their accustomed places
of worship; let them, with one accord,
render thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our preservation as a nation,
and our deliverance from threatened
danger; for the peace that has dwelt in
our boundaries for defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year that
has passed; for the plenteous rewards
that have followed labors of our hus-
bandmen, and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through the meditation of
Him who has taught US how to pray,im
plore forgiveness of our sins and
continuance of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
Thanksgiving the poor and needy; and
by deeds of charity, let our offerings of
praise be more acceptable in the sight
of the Lord
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States, which have caused to
be hereunto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
4th nay of November, in the year of
our Lord, 1896, and of the independence
of the United States of America the

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The returns from
the entire country, although incomplete
in some states, are of nature to insure
the election of Mckinley. A sufficient
number of states have declared for the
republican party to make certain 264
votes for It's leader
The returns show some interesting
features, and in some respects have
been a surprise to leaders of both politi-
cal parties.
The New England states have, as was
expected, given heavy pluralities for Nc
Kinley without exception. The repub-
lican ticket was successful in Massa-
chusetts beyond what was claimed for
it by the most enthusiastic prophet Of
Republican success.
New York and Pennsy vania We'd
with each other for the largest plurali-
tv, and the figures at hand do not indi-
cate which one of them has surpassed
the other. Each state has given the re-
publican candidate a plurality of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. To these
states Illinois is a good third in its plu-
rality for the winning candidate. 1.-THE
percentage of gain over the presidential
election of 1892 that mas so far been
maintained continues to the end it will
give plurality of not far from $4,000.
In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has
been badly beaten, but is not buried so
deep, and is probably about 10000 ahead
of the national democratic ticket. There
has been evidently a large vote cast
through the state for Mckinley and
Altgeld.
In Indiana, if any of the rules for es-
timating the vote of a state which pre-
vious to the present election held good,
are still to be relied upon, there is no
justification for the democratic claims
of having carried the state. If the
ratio of republican gains continues to
the end of the count, Mckinley will
have approximately 10000 plurality in
the state
In Iowa, as far as can be seen from
the returns at present, the republican
plurality has been very large, not far
either way from $4,000.
Ohio, which has all along been claim
ed by Chairman Jones as a state in which
Bryan would push Mckinley very close,
has given the republican candidate an
overwhelming plurality.
In Michigan the election has resulted
in very heavily reduced vote for the
republican ticket. The free silver pa
pers of Detroit concede the state to Nc

California wheat Abroad.

Calcutta, Nov. 1.-The arrival of
thousands of tons of California wheat at
this port has had the effect of causing
reduction in prices IN some parts of the
district affected by the famine. 1t is be-
lieved that a total of 10000 tons of
wheat have been purchased for imPor-
tation into India. The government is
doing everything possible to alleviate
the distress. It has employed $1,000
persons on works which have been
started in order to furnish work for
those who without it would probably
starve to death. The effects of the
failure Of the crops are not felt at seri-
ously now as they viii be later. The
worst distress will be in the middle OF
December.

Administration Delighted.

Washington, Nov. 4.-There was I'M
concealed satisfaction in Administration
circles this morning over the result of
the election. Yet from the President
down to the lowest officials there was an
indisposition to exult over the defeat of
their old-time political associates. Mem
bers of the presidents official family
maintained dignified silence in hope of
making easier the task of healing the
breaches in the party.

Howell Brute.

Zanesville, o., Nov. William o.
Munson, editor of the Evening Press.
and also a republican member of the
city board of elections, was knocked
down to-day in the city by City Engin-
eer AL Howell, a republican, and beaten
and kicked almost to death. Howell is
a young man of nearly 200 pounds
weight, while Munson is a cripple sol
der, nearly 90 years old, and weighs
only 125 pounds. The assault was in
duced by some criticisms in the Press
concerning HowelPs discharge of his
official duties. There is great indigna-
ton over the outrage all over the city,
and Howell will be impeached and pro-
secuted to the full extent of the law.
