jority shown by Worcester county.
The stay home vote in the coun-
ties was phenominally large. The
day was favorable to corn husking
and rabbit hunting. In Washington
county, for illustration, 1867 voters
did not go to the polls. In Anne
Arundel county the vote was the
smallest for the county in years, be-
nearly a third less than that of the
Congressional election of 1900. With
a voting population of $500, only
about $500 or a fraction over half,
voted. The small vote was due to the
entire lack of campaign funds. This
latter is almost necessity in Anne
Arundel, especially to the Democrats,
who cannot bring their vote out.
The total Republican vote polled in
Hartford county was 2,207, whereas
the resistered vote is about 3, 100. The
Democratic vote polled was 2,617,
while the registered vote is about
$500. A lack of interest in the cleo
ton is assigned as the reason for the
voters not turning out in large num-
bers. While the county gave Talbot
a majority of 40 oyer Page, still the
Republicans are somewhat encourag-
ed over the tact that they gained in
every precinct, with the exception of
Jarrretsyille precinct, which place
gave Talbot his largest vote in the
county. This precinct has been his
stronghold from the start, the dele
gates exhibiting decided preference
for his nomination in the convention
held here in August.
In Cecil county nearly 2,4OO of the
total 6,700 registered voters failed to
cast their ballots. This is the largest
slump ever known in the vote of Cecil
county. By majority of IS Cecil
voted against license.
To Colonel Pearre one gratifying
feature of the day was the vote cast
for him by the miners in Allegany and
Garrett counties, and this, too, in
face of the assertions OF the Demo
Gratis that the Republicans were re-
sponsible for the coal strike.
The Democrats contracted their fight
in the Second district, and the result
shows for itself.

Now that the election is over and
the wishes of the people have been
expressed at the polls on the great
national issues we feel that another
milestone has been passed by fleeting
time in making the history of this
great nation.
Had the Democrats obtained a ma
jority in the House eff Representatives
1t would have been a great calamity
to the country, for the reason that all
legislation would have been blocked
and neither party could have been
heldSresponsible for the failure to pass
legislation. As it is, we may look for
the continuance of wise and con-
sentative administration of the affairs
of the Government, and prosperous
condition of our people.

GARRETT COUNTY.

1t is with commendable pride that
we are able to place before our read
ers this week an official return of the
election held Tuesday showing that
every district in the county without
exception was carried by Col. Pearre.
This fact is surely gratifying to the
ColonePs friends in the county and
the efforts put forth by them by which
this result was achieved, is, we are
sure, appreciated to the fullest degree
by the thrice honored choice of the
voters of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict.

MANY REASONS TO BE GRATEFUL
Set Forth in President RoOsevelt's PrOcia
nation For Thanksgiving.

Set Forth in President RooseveIt's Procia-
nation For Thanksgiving.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama-
ton designating Thursday, Novem-
Der 81, as day of Thanksgiving. 1t
follows:
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the President
at this season to appoint day of fes-
tiYai and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had on
the whole more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people. Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear its pc
culiar burdens, each to face its special
crisis, and each has known years of
grim trial, when the country was
menaced by malice, domestic or for
eign levy, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it in drouth or flood
or pestilence, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the penal
ty of folly and forward heart. NeY-
ertheless, decade by decade, we have
struggled onward and upward; we
now abundantly enjoy material well
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing. The year that has just closed
has been one of peace and of over
flowing plenty. Rarely has any peo-
pie enjoyed greater prosperity than
we are now enjoying. For this we
render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Oliver of Good; and we seek to
praise Him not by words only, but by
deeds, by the way in which we do
duty to ourselves and to our fellow
men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the TWEEN
ty-seventh of the coming November
and do recommend that throughout
the land people cease from their ordi-
nary occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks unto Almighty God for the
manifold blessings of the past year.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Wash
ington, this Goth day of
October, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine
[Seal. hundred and two, and of
the Independence of the
United States, the one
hundred and twenty-sev-
enth.

Baltimore American.
More complete returns verify par
tial returns published in all editions
of the american yesterday and show:
That Messrs. Jackson, Wachter,
Mudd and Pearre, Republicans, are
reelected.
That Messrs. Talbot and Denny,
Democrats, are elected.
That the Republican majority in
the State is 8,201 and 800 in the city.
That the Republicans made enor-
nous gains in the First, Fifth and
Sixth Districts of the State, which
are rural districts, and lost ground in
the city, the first three of the new
four legislative districts going Demo
cratic.
Later returns also show that a small
vote was cast in both city and State.
That in the CITY was 50 per cent. of
the total registered vote. In the coun-
ties the total vote polled was about
70 per cent. of the registered vote.
Included in the difference between
the vote registered and the vote poll
ed is the rejected vote. The size of
this vote is not furnished with the
election returns, but reports from the
polling places in both city and coun-
ties indicate that, while it does not
assume the same proportions as at
the election last year, it was consider
able. The rejected vote in the Fourth
District, the Republican leaders claim.

The Flag on the New Stamps.

A Washington correspondent says:
For the first time since 1869 the Post
Office Department, with the issuance
of a new series of stamps now in pre-
paration, will make use of the Ameri-
can flag in one of it's designs. This
will be a part of the two-cent stamp,
which, by the way, will bear little re-
semblance to the one now in use.
The portrait of Washington, which
has long appeared on the popular
stamp, will be succeeded by photo
graph taken from Gilbert Stuart's
famous painting. The familiar bust
of Washington, so long known to the
stamp-using public, was drawn from
Houdon's profile cast.

MARYLAND GOES REPUBLICAN.


Four Congressman Elected.
Maryland went Republican at Tues
days election by more than 5000 plu-
rality, and the Republicans elect four
of the six Congressman in the State.
William H. Jackson, Republican,
carried the First District by 1,500over
Ellegood, Democrat.
In the Second District J. F. G. Tai
bolt, Democrat, defeats VIM. Tyler
Page, Republican, by about 1000.
In the Third District the result
seems somewhat in doubt because of
a dispute in one of the precints of
Baltimore City, but the chances favor
Wachter, Republican.
Congressman Charles r. Schirm,
Republican, is defeated in the Fourth
District by James w. Denny, Demo
crat, by plurality of 523.
Sydney E. Mudd carries the Fifth
District by about $500.
In the Sixth District Col. George A.
Pearre, the Republican candidate is
elected for the third time by the I'M
precedented majority of nearly 1000.
Every county in the District gives
him a largely increased vote, a iatter-
ing compliment to a worthy and able
representative of the people.

RIOTS AT PROVIDENCE.
Ssrset.car Strike Takes Violent PORN
Several Arrests Made.


Providence, R. l., June THE
street railway strike took violent form
tonight. Crowds Of men blocked the
streets and hooted and ieered at the
officers and passengers on cars, hurling
missiles through the windows, cutting
trolley ropes and defacing the inner
fittings of the cars. The officers freely
used their clubs in half dozen indi-
vidual riots, mounted men charged the
crowds, and 25 arrests were made.
The initial cause of the disturbance
was the parade of about 800 striking
conductors and motormen. The line of
march led up the main thoroughfare,
where crowd soon gathered. Motor
men and conductors on the cars which
followed were Kissed and jeered at until
q blockade gave opportunity for dem-
onstration. There was instant re-
sponse. The trolley was pulled of,
missiles filled the air, and for half an
hour thousands shouted themselves
hoarse. The police were unable to
gain the mastery until number of ar
rests we're made. which started the
crowd in another direction. Similar
outbreaks occurred, and they grew go
serious that all the available police in
the city were called into the business
section Of the city.maEe9 ass
Towards midnight e4the excitement
ceased and the crowds dispersed, the
absence of the cars eliminating the
chief cause of irritation.

Leadville, Col, June 4.-A daring
Jail break took place here today. The
jailer was in the front office when q
trusty notified him that some Of the
prisoners were missing, and an investi-
cation showed that five had escaped
by an underground tunnel. They had
sawed off the lock to trap door lead
ing to the sewer, broke the sewer wall
and then crawled to the outside OF the
Jail through small hole in the found

Blame for Giving Out Philippine Reports 10
Be fixed.

Washington, June 7.-FolIowing up
the intimation which Senator Beyeridge
made that General Miles was furnish
ing reports from the war department,
an investigation is in progress. II is
possible that this viii not bring the
matter home TO Miles. In fact, some
subordinate will probably have to
shoulder the responsibility II It is
traced to the headquarters Of the army,
although Il may be said beyond all
question Of doubt that when Official
documents come out from the headquar-
ties that the commanding general winke
at them. This was the case with Miles
furnisbing the newspapers all corre-
spondence between himself and the sec-
retary Of war when he was in Porto
Rico. This was never brought home to
Miles, although he no doubt understood
perfectly well that the correspondence
was being obtained.
II lie very annoying TO the secretary
and 10 the president to have a high
officer Of the army, having access to all
papers, use bis position Ito injure the
army and the administration. The
matters which leak out from some at
present unknown but suspected source
are those which the war department is
investigating on its own responsibility,
but which used separately are detri-
mental to the army. There is no doubt
now that if the president could fix this
matter upon Miles beyond question his
threatened retirement would follow
very speedily.

UPRISING IN SIAM.
Fearful Slaughter Continues Along the River
MekORs.

pAehVHAs
Victoria, B. c., June 9-The Siam
Free Press, copy of which has just
been received here by steamer, says the
rising along the right bank of the Me-
kong river has assumed grave proper
tions and adds:
"Rumor has reached Bangkok that
fearful slaughter continues there and
that the regulars from Bangkok, who
have been sent to subdue the rebels,
are giving no quarter. Upwards of
200 persons have been recently shot
and many others wounded, it is said
but this slaughter has only excited the
people to desperation, who vow ven
geance on the soldiers of the king.
The gravity of the situation can be
judged from the fact that more troops
are to be dispatched. It is fortunate,
however, that the rising is confined to
the right bank of the Mekong and that
the trouble up to now is limited to
Siamese territory. But should the OPP
posite bank catch the flame, then the
situation might become grave indeed
and the result might prove disastrous
for Siam, as the French authoritie
would be bound in such an event to
take active and stringent measures to
protect their own interests and insure
the safety of their own people,"
Excessive taxation and unscrupulous
and exacting officials are held response
BILE for the rising.

wATER N rhE MINEs.



Wilkeebarre, Pa, June 7.--More en-
gineers, fremen and pumprunnera
obesod the call Of the miners union
and struck today, but in most instances
the coal company officials were able 10
fill the places Of the strikers.
The Associated Press correspondent
was informed by mining oEicial who
has poeitive information on the subject
that most Of the mines in the echuyl-
kill region are accumulatIng water.
The Residing Company's coIlisries. lo-
cated n that region. are the e1isI
sufferers. The colIieries Of the LehIgh
Valley Company and individual COM
panies in the same territory are also
slowly filling. In the Hazleton,
WiIkesbarre and Scranton districts tbs
condition Is not 30 bad, only one mine
here and there showing water.
The Susquehanna Coal Company's
colliery, No. 5, ct Eanticoke. was
forced to shut down its engines, al the
fremen refusing to go TO work. This
company furnishes the power for the
water supply Of Nanticoke, and unless
the engines are again started the bor-
ough will have water famine to con-
tend with. There was slight fire IN
the town today, and az the fire alarm
is sounded by means Of the eoIliery
whistle, there was much trouble and
delay before the volunteer firsmen
could be collected to the scene Of the
FIRE. The company, it is said, will
allow its mines to fll with water, ana
let the borough get its water supply as
best it can.
It was comparatively quiet TODAY in
the Wyoming valley. There was the
usual gathering of crowds at several
collieries at starting and stopping time,
but nothing Of a serious nature occurred.
Some men we're stoned on their way to
and from work and several were thrown
into pools Of water. The fear Of bodily
harm is causing more men TO quit work
than are the arguments Of the strikers.
President Mitchell was kept busy eli
day at his headquarters. The national
president had no comment to make
when informed that the New York
board Of trade had decided ta .aal-sn=a~~-
great struggle.
A systematic boycott Of all persons
and establishments that in any way
supply the wants Of non union men has
been inaugurated and is having It's
effect in bringing men out Of the mines.
Men of all callings, including bartend-
ere, butchers, grocery clerks. ETC., are
organized in the coal region. A non
union man in most places cannot bs
served, and il he is, the establishment
is Immediately boycotted. Families Of
non union men are consequently having
much trouble in buying the necessariss
of life.

MITCHELL JOKES WITH HANNA
Tells Him He Win Puneturs His Panama Ca
nal Argument

Washington, June There was a
iocular exchange between Senator
Mitchell and Senator Hanna yesterday
before either Of them began to talk.
Mitchell told Hanna that he had raised
the price Of red ink in marking eruptive
volcanoes around the canal route, and
Hanna retorted that he could net na-
derstand why Mitchell should go wrong
on an important question like this,
adding he was wrong on the Chinese
exclusion question.
