EXPOSITION CLOSES.
End of Buffnlo's Big show-A Net Loss

By the President: John Hay, Sec
of State"

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Standing at
the triumphal bridge at midnight Sat-
urday, John G. Milburn pressed an
electric button which extinguished
the lights at the Pan-American exposi-
ton. Bands played and thousands
cheered as the lights faded to red
glow and then to darkness. Around
Mr.. Milburn were the men and women
who, as managers, investors and em-
ployes, had worked for the success of
the fair, only to see it result in a loss
of over $4,OOO,OOO.
The total attendance, exclusive of
farewell day, was s,179,674, which in
cluded passes. How far this fell be-
low the expectations of the exposi-
ton promoters may be judged from
the fact that the exposition paid pre-
miums on a blanket accident policy
on 100000 paid admissions for the
season Many wagers were made
that the attendance would exceed 16,-
100000, and others that it would ex-
ceed 25,000,000 and 30,OO0,O0O.

because the fair had no assets to pay
their claims. Concession holders lost
money, with two or three exceptions,
and several were ruined. The notable
money-maker was the cyclorama of
the Johnstown flood, despised and
scorned by investors, which closes the
season 100000 to the good.

A nag Di.mond Robbery.

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-Burglars broke
the big show window of the Duhme
Jewelry Co.'s store on Fourth street
early yesterday and stole $4,000
worth of diamonds. In their fight
they left trail of diamonds indicat-
ing the direction they took. The
diamonds stolen were loose on tray.
The night watchman says he heard
no noise and saw nothing of the rob-
bers, and it is supposed they took
advantage of the noise of passing
wagon or car to break the glass, seize
the tray and run.

CALL TO GIVE THANKS.
President Roosevelt Issues His First
National THANKSGIVING Day
Proclamation.

Washington, Nov. 4. - President
Roosevelt Saturday issued his procla-
nation fixing Thursday, November 2s,
MS day of national thanksgiving. 1t
follows:
A PROCLAMATION
"The season is nigh when, according TO
the me-hallowed custom of our people.
the president appoints day as the espe-
cial occasion for praise and thanksgiving
to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people sti1l
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 liberty which
as nation we have thus far safely trod.
yet In spite of this great disaster. IL Is
nevertheless true that no people on earth
have such abundant cause for thanksgiving
as we have. The past year in particular
has been one of peace and plenty. We
have prospered in things material and have
been able to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let us
remember that, as much has been given
us, much will be expected from us; and
that true homage comes from the heart as
we'll as from the lips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thankful
ness to the Almighty by the way in which
on this earth and at this time each of US
does his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, I. Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, do hereby
designate as a day of general thanksgiving.
Thursday, the 2Sth of this present Novem-
Der, and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their wonted
| occupations, and at their several homes
"a nj Of nj ba
| Giver of all good for the countless bless
| ings of our national life.
I'm witness whereof 1 have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
Second day of November in the year of
Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and
One and of the independence of the United
| States, the One Hundred and Twenty

ticut chose delegates to the first con-
stitutional convention to be held in
the state since 1918. OF the 16s towns
in the state, 1875 have been heard

PENNsYLVANIA,

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-Pennsylva-
mia voted on three proposed amend
ments to bhe constitution which pro-
vide for personal registration and
voting machines. The amendments
carried. The propositions, must,
however, be acted upon by the leg
islature which meets in 1903 before
they can be embodied in the consti-
tuition.
Returns indicate the election of the
entire republican state ticket, Frank
G.. Harris for state treasurer and
William p. Potter for supreme court
judge, by from 10000 to 10000 plural
ity. The vote in favor of the pro-
posed constitutional amendments in
the interest of ballot reform is over
whelming.
Notwithstanding the intense inter-
est, the election throughout this city
was conducted generally in an orderly
manner. There were, however, nu-
merous disputes at polling places,
and in a number of instances the dis
putants came away with broken
heads, but no very serious rows oc-
CURED anywhere. The regular re-
pubicans and the fusionists charge
each other with wholesale frauds and
promise to make numerous arrests.
There were many arrests for viola
tions of the election laws, but in near
ly every case the offender was bailed
out by political friends.
Estimates from the 67 counties OF
the state give Frank G. Harris, repub-
lican, for state treasurer, an apparent
plurality of 51,o1s; william P. Potter,
republican, for supreme court judge,
44,s07 plurality.
In Philadelphia Rothermel, the fu-
sion candidate for district attorney
was beaten by 43,47s plurality. Har-
ris' plurality in this city was 34,961
and Potter's was 31,921.
Harry Davis, fusion, was elected
judge of common pleas court, run.
ming nearly 1000 votes ahead OF
Henry Budd, his associate on the
ticket.
Pittsburg, Nov. 6.-State Senator
William Finn estimates the election
of Harris and Potter, republicans, by
$4,000 majority in the county and Is,
900 in Pittsburg. Republican County
Chairman Robertson's estimate is %,
900 for the county and $4,000 in Pitts
burg.

KENTUCKY.

Louisville, KY, Nov. e.-The gen.
eral assembly, that was elected in
Kentucky yesterday, with the excep-
tion of half the senate, which holds
over, will be democratic on joint bali
lot by an increased majority, accord
ing to the latest returns. This gen.
eral assembly will elect successor
to United States Senator William j.
Deboe, republican, for the term be-
ginning March 4, 1908. The returns
indicate that the senate will stand 20
democrats to ~ republicans, the same
as the old senate, and the house n
democrats to 23 republicans, dem
ocratic gain of II.
In addition to electing a United
States senator the new assembly will
redistrict the state as to senatorial,
representative, appellate court and
circuit court districts for ten years.
In the city of Louisville the demo-
Gratis elected Charles F. Granger,
mayor over John A. Stratton, repub-
lican, by about 5000 majority. The
democrats also elected the city, coun-
ty and legislative tickets.

VIRGINIA.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-Although
the democrats polled only about rs
per cent. of their vote, the result sur
passed their most sanguine expecta-
tions. The negroes took little inter-
est in the contest, and the indica-
tions are that the democratic major
ity for the state ticket will be more
than $4,000.
The democratic majority on joint
ballot in the legislature will be over
whelming. On the Legislative ticket
the democrats made gains in the
southwest, where they feared they
were weak.

plimentary vote of the democratic
minority in the present Legislature.
In Hamilton county, which includes
Cincinnati, there was mixed delega-
tion in the last legislature, when
John R. Mclean, democrat, carried
that county for governor. The dele
CATION then had only two republicans.
This year the delegation consists of
13 republicans. Lucas county had
two republican members in the last
Legislature, but under the new census
1t has four members, all republicans.

LED BY BOTHA.
The Famous BOer Commander Per-
sOnaiIy Engaged I'm the Recent
Battle with British.

Pretoria, Nov. 4.-Further details
have been received regarding the at
tack by the Beers under Commandant
General Louis Botha last week upon
Col. Benson's column near Braken-
laagte, eastern Transvaal. 1t appears
that Gen. Botha, who had been joined
by another big commando aggregat-
ing a thousand men, attacked Col.
Benson's rear guard October 80 on
the march, and captured two guns,
but was unable to retain them. Col.
Benson fell mortally wounded early
in the fight. Maj. WoolsSampson
took command, collected the convoy
and took up a position for defense
about 500 yards from entertainments
prepared by the Beers. The captured
guns were so situated that neither
side could touch them. The Beers
made desperate efforts to overwhelm
the whole British force, charging re-
peatedly right up to the British lines
and being driven back each time with
heavy loss. The defense was stub
bornly and successfully maintained
through the whole of the following
day and the succeeding night, until
Col. Barter, who had marched all
night from Bushman's kop, brought
relief in the morning of November L.
The Beers then retired. Their losses
are estimated between 800 and 400.
Col Benson did not long survive. Not
only did Gen. Botha direct the at
tack, as already cabled, but he per-
sonally shared in the fighting.

Trenton, n. j., Nov. 6.-Returns
bear out the earliest Indications that
Franklin Murphy, republican, has
been elected governor by about 10000
plurality. Partial returns from the
different counties show that most of
them gave about the same pluralities
as was given three years ago when
Voorhees,, republican, was elected
governor by 5,499 plurality. One of
the exceptions is Essex county, which
Voorhees, 1857 and is expected to
be carried by Murphy by from 5000
to 10000. Both branches of the leg
islature will be republican.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nov. Ga conservative
estimate based on about half the vot-
ing precincts in the city and unoffi-
cial returns from the state made at
B a. IN. indicate that the democrats
will control the legislature and will
have probably OF votes on joint bal
lot, which is six more than major
ity. In order to attain this result it
will be necessary that they carry the
Second legislative district in Balti-
more city, which seems probable. Not
more than half the returns from the
city are in and these show an unu-
sually close contest. 1t is not be-
heved that the majority for either
party in Baltimore city will exceed
1000.
