Frederick K. Day OF Elizabeth, n. j.,
has been appointed receiver for the
American Electric Supply Company, a
combination of plants and factories
supplying nearly everything needed for
the complete equipment of electric roads.
The Increase in the price Of raw material
which made it impossible to deliver
goods on long time contracts at the
prices at which the contracts were taken
is said to be responsible for the trusts
failure after a brief career. This trust
was Incorporated last June with a capi-
tai of $7,00O,0O0. The trust acquired
eight large electrical manufacturing con-
Germs.
Consolidation of all the stockyards in
the country under one management ia
contemplated by leading interests in
those properties, aud plans will prob.
ably be carried out for the completion
OF the deal to merge the beef packing in
dnstries. There are different reports as
to the amount of the stock the combi
nation will have, figures on the total
running from $3OO,000,OOO to $780,
100000. 1t is understood the preferred
stock will represent the book value of
properties and common stock the good
will and other intangible assets.
The seven commissioners appointed
by President Roosevelt to adjust the diff
ferences existing between the anthracite
mineworkers and their employers have
made tour of some of the coal fields
and saw every step taken in the produc-
tion of coal from the time it is blasted
from the ground, hundreds of feet below
the surface, up to the point where it is
sent to market ready for the consumer.
The trip was a novelty to some of the
commissioners who had never been in
the hard coal regions. They spent eight
hours under ground and emerged from
the mines black with dust and mud
Their eagerness to learn the true con
ditiOns of the workmen is commendable.

When asked regarding the proposed
cOaling stations in Cuba, ,Senor Quesada,
Cuban minister to the United States, said
that, four days before Mr.. Mckinley was
shot he had at the instance of Mr.. Palma
gone to Canton and secured from the
president solemn promise that while he
was chief executive he would not give his
consent to the establishment OF a naval
station at Havana, and that President
Roosevelt knew of the promise. This
statement was made while discussing the
reciprocity treaty and the commercial
treaty between Cuba and the United
States.
A sensation occurred at a political
meeting in the public square at Cleve-
land in which Mayor Tom johnson
struck William Mylcrane, republican
tax boerd official, in the face with his
fist. 1t seems, according to the state
ments OF bystanders that the Mayor
overheard Mylcrane say that johnson
was a liar. Mayor johnson in explain
ing said that he only intended to slap
him in the face.

Happenings and Matters of Interest
Reported from all Sections
of the Country.
Wednesday, October %

An outrageous scene marked the re-
turn OF the soldiers of the Fourteenth
regiment from the anthracite region to
PIttsburg. While passing down Fifth
avenue they we're assailed with chunks OF
concrete; blocks of wood as large as
bricks and even tools, thrown from the
twenty first floor of the new Farmers
Deposit ban4 building, a distance of 275
teet, by workmen. No one was seriously
hurt.
ID. E. Chrstianson, president of the
Farmers Il Merchants bank at Sharps-
Durg, Iowa, has been missing since Sun
day morning. The funds of the bank
are said to be depleted in sum vari-
ously estimated at from $35 900 to
$4,000. Sunday morning he had called
up Cashier S. l.. Bungan into his private
office and stated that he was going to
Omaha to make a showing before the
banks of that city OF the cash OF the in

Demands of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen for increase in wages will
be replied to by the railroads entering
chicago before the end of the week. The
local committees of the brotherhood
have met and made their reports. All

the demands and that they would prob
ably settle with the union before the first
OF the month. 1t is the general impress
sion that the increase granted will be in
the neighborhood of II per cent, which
will be accepted.
President Roosevelt will make a trip
through part of the south, if official
business should not make his presence in
Washington necessary at the time. The
primary object of the trip will be to en-
able the president to attend the recep-
ton to be rendered by the citizens OF
Memphis to General Luke Wright. vice
governor OF the Philippines. Subse-
quently, it is expected the president will
accept an invitation to participate in a
bear hunt in the canebreaks of Missis.

The election.

The election is over and like those
that have followed before it has made
enemies of those who were friends
and which will take time to heal,
and it has also brought about good
feeling between many who did not
feel any too kindly to each other.
The papers throughout the state
have given up political mud throw
ing and have got down to legitimate
news again. Politics will be rele-
gated to the past until another two
years roll around when the same
strife for office will be enacted over
again.

THANKS GIVING DAY.

Washington d. Q. Oct 29-Presi'
dent Roosevelt today issued his pro
clamation fixing Thursday, Noyem-
her 9th, as a day Of thanksgiving
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom Of
our people, it falls upon the Presi-
dent at this season to appoint a day
Of festival and thanksgiving to God.
Over century and quarter has
passed since the country took its
place among the nationsof the earth
aud 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
Qeueration mas grog1 to manhoo /
and passed away. Each has had to
bear its peculiar burdens, each to
face its special crisis and each has
known years of grim trial, when the
country was menaced by malice, de-
mestic OF foreign, when the hand of
the Lord was heavy upon it in
drought or food or pestilence when
in bodily distress and anguish Of
soul it paid the penalty Of folly and
a forward heart. Nevertheless, do
cade 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
achive moral and spiritual uplifting
The year that has just closed has
been one of peace and overfowing
plenty. Rare has any people enjoy
ed greater prosperity than we are
now enjoying. For this we render
heartfelt and solemn thanks to the
giver of Good and we ask to praise
him not by words only, but by deeds
by the way in which we do our duty
to ourselves and to our fellow men.
Now therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
welt, President Of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of
general thanksgiving Thursday, the
9th day of the coming November.
and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their
ordinary occupations, and in their
several homes, and places of wor-
ship, render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of
the past year
In witness whereof / have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed
Done at the city of Washington,
this 29th day of October, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hum
dred and two, and Of the indepen-
dence of the United States, one
hundred and twenty-seventh.
(Seal. Theodore Roosevelt.

John Hay, Secretary of State.
