Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The state de,
partment has issued the following:
BY the President of the United States of
America.-A Proclamation
1t has pleased Almighty God to bring
our nation in safety and honor through
another year.
The works of religion and charity have
everywhere been manifest
Our country through all its extent has
been blessed with abundant harvests.
Labor and the great industries OF the
people have prospered beyond all prece-
dent.
Our commerce has spread over the world.
Our power and influence in the cause Of
freedom and enlightenment have extended
over distant seas and lands.
The lives of our official representatives
and many of our people in China have
been maWelously preserved.
We have been generally exempt from
pestience and other great callmities, and
even the tragic visitation which over
whelmed the city of Galveston made evi-
dent the sentiments of sympathy and
Christian charity by virtue of which we
are one united people.
Now, therefore, |, William Mckinley,
president of the United States do hereby
appoint and set apart Thursday, the 10Th
of November next, to be observed by all
the people Of the United States at home
and abroad as a day of thanksgiving and
praise to Him who holds the nation in the
hollow of His hand
! recommend that they gather in their
several places of worship and deyoutly
give Him thanks for the prosperity where
with He has endowed us, for seed time
and harvest, for the valor, devotion and
humanity of our armies and navies, and
for all His benefits to us as individuals
and as nation; and that they humbly
pray for the continuance of His divine
favor, for concord and amity with other
nations and for righteousness and peace
in ali our ways.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

Politics Warm I'm Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Probably the largest
outdoor political mass meeting ever or
ganized in Chicago was held Saturday in
the half mile of street known as the
Court of Honor The great thorough
fare, nearly twice the width of any other
street in Chicago, was thronged from Van
Buren, to Randolph street with cheering
jostling, perspiring mass of people Chair
man Jones of the national democratic
committee had designated this as flag
day" and the national banner played an
important and spectacular part in the
celebration. Portraits of Bryan and Stew
enson were also numerous along the broad
street. The weather was perfect for an
outdoor demonstration. Along both sides
of State street speakers stands had been
erected at short distances apart, and from
these points democratic orators of national
prominence addressed the portions of the
multitude nearest at hand

Mount ST. EIias shaken.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. 2S.-Two
steamers have arrived from Nome, the
General Seglin and South Portland, the
latter having l52 passengers. Both sail
ed from Nome on October IA.
A report has reached here from Yakutat
to the effect that Mount St. Elias was
badly shaken up by the recent earth
quake that did so much damage at ka-
diak Indian trappers and hunters who
were in the vicinity of the mountain re-
turned to Yakutat and say that the noun
tain was almost broken to pieces. The
shocks were so severe that acres of ice
broke loose near the top of the mountain
and came crashing down, carrying every
thing before it, Indians state that from
where the avalanche started clear to the
base of the mountain it made track
about half mile wide where no snow or
ice remains. All the Indian trappers had
not returned, and some fears are enter
tanned that they may have been caught by
the avalanche.

To Assassinate Loubet.

Lyons, Oct 2S.-The Nouveliste Ee Licen
says a plot to assassinate President Lou
bet has been discovered.
1t appears, that a working electrician
named Couturier burglariously entered
the electric company's premises at Mines,
stealing $500 francs. He was traced to
Orange, near Lyons, where he was arrest
ed. Documents found on his person re-
vealed, the paper says, an anarchist con
spiracy to assassinate President Loubet on
his coming visit TO Lyons to unveil the
monument erected to the memory OF Pres
ident Carnot.
Couturier is said to have committed the
burglary in order to obtain funds to carry
out his project. He has, it is added, con-
fessed to the police, who are now tracking
his accomplices and watching anarchists
in order to prevent any attempt to carry
out the scheme.

Charged With Cowardice.

Washington, Oct 29.-AIinister Con
ger has preferred charges of cowardice
against Capt. Newt L. Hall, L. S. NJ c.,
the second in command of the marine
force at Pekin during the siege. The de-
tails are closely guarded, the regulations
of the war and navy departments strict
~ forbidding publicity at this stage. 1t
is gathered, however, that Mr.. Conger
questioned Captain Halls courage be-
cause of the latters declination to carry
out certain military operations suggested
by the minister The charges in the or
binary course passed into the hands OF
General Chafee, the commander-in-chiet
of the forces in China, who examined
Them made AN inquiry on his own account
and then, concluding that the whole mat.
ter rested on the difference of Judgment
between the minister and the captain
sent the papers to Washington with a
recommendation that no further proceed.
ings be had, a finding vindicating the cap
tain.
From the war department the papers
went to the navy department, and after
some consideration it was determined that
the high moral effect of the marine corps
required the most formal and complete
acquittal of an accused officer from such
a charge in order that he might not in
after years suffer from its repetition. Con
sequently, the papers were referred to Gen,
eral Haywood, the commandant of marines
who is taking steps to have a thorough
investigation by proper court. 1t hap
pens that the only report of the conduct
of the marines at Pekin was from Captain
Hall, the senior officer, Captain Miles
being too i'll to report.
