NATION TO GIVE
 THANKS NOV. 2S

Washington. November 2-President Roosevelt today issued hiS proclamation fixing November 2s as a day of national thanksgiving. It follows:
 A Proclamation.
 ''The season IS ysll nigh here and ac- cording to the time hailowed custom of our people, the President appoints a dey as the especial occasion of praise and thanksgiving to God.
 This thanksgiving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good President We mourn President Mckinley because we so loved and honored him; and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people keen anxiety for the country and at the same time resolute purpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of strong, orderly. popular lib- erty, which as a nation we have thus far safely trod J.
 Yet in spite of this great disaster, it Is nevertheless true that no people on earth have such an abundant cause for thanks giving as we have. The past year in par dcular has been one of peace and plenty. We have prospered in things material and have been able to work for our own up- lifting in things intellectual and spiritual. Let us remember that as much that has been given us much will be expected from us, and thorough homage comes from the heart as we'll as from the lips and shows itself in the deeds. We can best prove our thankfulness to the Almighty by the way on this earth and at this time each of us does his duty to his fellowmen.
 Now, therefore. I. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiv- ing, Thursday, the 18th of this present November, and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their wonted occupations and at their several homes and places of worship reverently thank tine Giyer of all good for the countless blessings of our national life
 '.In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the City of Washington, this 2d day of November, in the year of our Lord 1901. and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twen- ty-sixth.
 (signed.) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
 (SeaI)
 By the President.

Gadsden. November 2-(Special) Since the reported drowning of Mrs. Bettie Collier of Union Grove. in the Tennessee S,yer near Paint Rock, many sensational repce3s have been current, based on the facts that $5oOo life insurance policy had been taken out by her only short while ago.
 The Union Central Insurance Company through it's general and special agents. has investigated the case and obtained affidavits from charles Amos ana wife of Charlottesville. sister of Mrs. Collins. The affidavits go to show that q con- spiracy had been formed to collect in- surance on a disappearance and that Amos was to have been paid portion
 Charles Amos says that he took Mrs. Collier in a skin a short distance, landed her safely, rowed across and threw out some of her wearing apparel and both their hats, reached shallow place near the bank. got out and overturned the skin and cried for help. Will Barber was waiting on the bank. He met him and together they spread the alarm. Mrs. Collier has been seen at the Amos home since the alleged drowning.

Predicts Majority for Shepard Near 5O,OOO in Greater
 New York
LOWE CLAIMS II BY 10000
Both Candidates Make Their Last Speeches at Immense Meetings.
 Betting Odds Favor the Dem- < oeratic Standard Bearer.

New York, November 2.-After a meet ing today of the Tammany Hali executive committee, Sec, etary Thomas Smith an nounced that according to the reports of the leaders of the various districts in Manhattan and the Bronx. Edward M Shepard, Democratic candidate for Mayor would have majority of 47,s2s. The ma jority in Greater New York is placed at more than 5o,000.
 Robert c. Morris. chairman of the Re- publican county committee, tonight esti- mated the majority for Seth Low and the other fusion candidates at 29,70O in Man ,hattan and the Bronx, and 10000 in Greater New York.
 Both sides in the contest in Greater New York tonight practically closed the cam paign ss far as speaking is concerned. MT. Shepard and MT. Low made their last speeches, and the fusionists have an nounced no more meetings. The Demo- crats, however, have several meetings scheduled for tomorrow (Sdnday) night.
 Tonight, immense meetings were held by both sides all over the greater city.
 Betting Favors Shepard.
 If today's betting is any criterion of po- litical results in the election which is to take place on Tuesday next it is all over but the shouting and Democracy will again hoist their roosters to announce to the world that Tammany is still on top. It may not be the Tammany of old, for Edward Nj. Shepard has declared that he will control Greater New York and no one shall say him nay.
 A pool of 5000 at even money was bet tasss through Mcintyre & Marshall. the wtlllRnownes financiers, that Shepard would win. Many bets were made, aggre- gatihe in the whole several thousands of dollars, all favoring the election of the Democratic candidate.
 Kings County appears to be the great factor and is claimed by both sides and by various majorities. A careful canvass of the county, however, indicates that the Democrats will win by the majority of from 7500 to 10000.
 Must Have Honest Elections.
 A bomb was thrown into the police de- pertinent today in the form of a com munication from Governor Odell, inform ing them that an honest election must be held. He had been made cognizant of the fact that wholesale frauds in reg istration had been committed, which he did not propose to permit He has in structed his superintendent of elections to resort to extreme measuI es in prevent ing the votes being cast by those regis tered illegally. The police department in turn has accepted his communication in good grace, and promise to assist in the matter.
 Candidate Shepard declared today that if elected he would work fer the de- struction of all influences that obstructed the cause of good government In Greater New York He specifically declared it made no difference what those influences were. and instead of excepting it, he de- liberately included Tammany Hall in his statement. Thus 1t will be seen that the Democrats have nothing O fear in cast ing their votes for hir1.

CZOLGOSZ, SAY THE
 DOCTORS, WAS SANE
OFFICIAL REPORT STATES THAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE AT THE TIME HE PLANNED THE MUR- DER OF M'kINLEY.

Buffalo. N. r., November g. = Doctors Fowler, Crego and Putna, the specialists who were required by District Attorney Penney to examine into the mental con- dition of Leon F. Czblgosz, the assassin of President Mckinley. have made public their report in which they state. as a result of frequent examinations of Czol- gosz, the reports of his watcher and his behavior in court, that they have con cluded that he was sane at the time he planned the murder, when he shot the President and when he was on trial.
 His first examination was but a few hours after the commission of the crime and while he was still uninformed of the fate of the victim. During the first three examinations Czolgosz answered ques- tions unhesitatingly. After that, how ever, he became more cautious and less communicative. He had a common school education, the reports say, and read and wrote well. During the first days examf- nation he said he had planned killing the President three or four days after he came to Buffalo The report then recites in Czolgoszs own words the assassin's story of the murder of President McKin- ley. The sanity of Czolgosz was held. the report says:
 from the history or ms lire, aB it came from him. he has been sober. industrious and law abiding. Till he was 21 years of age he was as others of his class, be- liever in the government of this country and of the religions of his fathers. After he cast his first vote he made the ac- quaintance of anarchistic leaders. who invited him to their meetings. He was a good listener, and in a short time he adopted their theories. He was consist ent in his adherence to anarachy. He did not believe in marriage because he did not believe in law. He killed the President because he was ruler, and Czolgosz believed. as he was taught, that all rulers were tyrants; that to kill a ruler would benefit the people. He re- fused lawyer because he did not be- lieve in law lawyers OF courts.
 These facts tend to prove that the man has an unimpaired mind. He has false beliefs, the result of false teaching and not the result of disease. He Is not to be classe6 as a degenerate, because we do not find the stagnata of degenera- tion. Physically he has not history of cruelty or of perverted tastes and habits. He is not the product of anarchy, but was sane and responsible"

GOVERNOR DURBIN REFUSES TO HAND OVER TAYLOR AND
 FINLEY TO KENTUCKY COURT

publican side, predicts a larger vote than
 at the Gubernatorial election two years ago, when 920s7s votes were cast. Gen
 sral Grosvenor will not be surprised if the Republican plurality reaches 75.000 and he will be greatly surprised if it runs under 25000. He figures out as sure of election eighty Republican and thirty five Democratic members of the Legisla- ture. with tventy-eight doubtful. This would make the Legislature stand with sure Republican majority of seven on joint ballot for Senator and a probable majority of fifteen. He regards the re-
 election of the Republican State ticket and Of Senator Foraker as ''sure things"

TRUSTS ALARMING
 KAISER WILLIAM
HE FoREsEEs THE FUTURE NE cESSITY OF FORMING A EURo- PEAN CUSTOMS UNION AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

New York, November AM. Pierre De Segur gives highly interesting account in the current number of the Review de Paris of the reception given by the Kaiser on board the Hohenzollern, to a party of French tourists at Odde, says the Heralds Paris correspondent.
 His conversation with us'' writes M. De Segur, was chiefly about America To hfm there Is a menace for the future in the colossal trusts, so dear to the Yankee millionaires. which tend to place an industry or a national exchange in the hands of 8 single individual or group of individuals,
 Suppose he said in substance, that MT. Morgan succeeds in combining under his flags several of the oceanic lines. He does not occupy the position in his coun- try outside of the influence derived from his wealth. It would. therefore. be i'm possible to treat with him if 1t should happen that an international incident or foreign power were involved in his en- terprise, and neither would 1t be possible to have recourse to the state, which. hav- ing no part in the business, could decline any responsibility. Then, to whom could we turn?'
 'Tn order to obviate this danger the Kaiser foresees the necessity of forming 6 European customs union against the United States on similar lines to the con- tinental blockade devised by Napoleon against England in order to safeguard the interests and assure the freedom of continental commerce at the expense of Am erica's development. and he declared to us without oircumlocution. that in such an eventuality England would be forced to choose an alternative of two absolutely opposite policies-either to ad- here to the blockade and place herself on the side of Europe against the United States, or else join the latter against the powers of the continent"

electric railroad storm centre is now clearly

dletown Valley, the disturbance manifesting
itself principally in the shape of newspaper
quips and repartee.
1t appears that the new owners having
failed to provide themselves with a new
board of directors, the old board entered into
ten year lease of the Myersville road to the
Frederick and Middletown; that as result.
ant of that action the Hagerstown people
have decided not to connect Myersville with
Hagerstown, hence the hoped for competi'

Climate and Crop Service.

In this state, for the week ending August
18th, the temperature averaged slightly a.
bove normal. The rains that visited this
section on Tuesday and Tuesday night Of
that week were also general throughout the
state.
Wheat has been threshed generally in the
southern counties and much has been
threshed in other sections of the state; the
yield has been light and the quality inferior;
rye is also below the average and the oats
harvest has been completed and is likewise
very unsatisfactory.
The hay crop has been an agreeable sur
prise, having everywhere been much heavier
than was anticipated during the spring; the
set for the coming crop of both clover and
timothy is reported to be good in everv Sec
In frst.class condition.
But the best reports are thoee concerning
the corn crop; from every section OF the state
comes the word that this will be a great year
for MARYLAND corn and as the great western
drought has put fancy price on this cereal,
our MARYLAND farmers are feeling kindly to-
wards this crop, which does not always pro
duce as desired in this State.
Rotting continues in all kinds of fruit, es-
pec,al damage being done to the peach. APP
Piles are scarce and are bringing splendid
prices
The potato crop has been Disappointing;
all vine and small tuber; in eastern sections
the tomato has run to vine with little fruit
on them
Sugar corn is doing well in every section
The recent rains having helped 1t materially.

The Great Steel Strike.

The strike ordered by the Amalgamated
Association of Steel Workers against the
policy of the big steel trust that requires non
union men employed by them to agree that
they will not join the Association, , is Intended
to be fight to the finish, on the Fart of the
workmen and the trust is probably willing
that the final test shall be made and this
vexed question settled.
The strike order went into effect on Satur
day night last and each day since then, each
side has made claims OF success. The reports
up until Wednesday were O! a character that
made things look pretty blue for the men,
but on that date matters seemed to be turn
ing in their favor, although in the main, the
advantage was still with the trust.
Figures have been given, showing the
comparative strength of strikers and non
striking union operatives; while the number
on strike is large, the number who have re
fused to come out is larger, and when the
non union men are added, it would seem
that the hope to be able to cripple the trust
is a forlorn one. 1t is probable, however,
that some act on the part OF one or the other
of tue two antagonists will be done that will
bring about sudden crisis, when, either the
strike will collapse, or it will spread rapidly
and include both union and non.union men.
1t needs only that some overt act calculated
to move men deeply shall occur, to inject
anger and excitement into the situation to
have widely different condition of affairs
from the present cool business like proceed
ings Thus far there has beenno riotlng nor
has any hector or martyr been forthcoming,
wherewi,h to move the feelings Of either side:
this cannot endure and someone will turn
tyrant and say vicious things, or incite
trouble and die for the cause and then will
come the avalanche: either this, or the strike
will peter out i'll a very few days and the
great steel trust will haye demonstrated its
ability to crush opposition.
