THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation. The pro-
clamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people it falls upon the President
at this season to appoint a day of fes-
tival and Thanksgiving to God.
over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took it's 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 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 mauce, domes-
tic or foreign when the hand of the
Lord was heavy upon it in drought or
flood or pestilence, when in bodily dis
tress and anguish of soul it paid the
penalty of folly and a froward heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade. we have
struggled onward and upward and We
nationality enjoy well-being and under
striving earnestly to achieve moral and
spiritual uplifting. The year that has
just closed has been one of peace and
of overlooking plenty. Rarely has any
people enjoyed greater prosperity than
we are now enjoying. For this We
render heartfelt and solemn thanks 70
the Giver of Good, and we seek 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, I, Theodore Roosevelt
President of the United States, do here
by designate asa day of general thanks
giving Thursday, the 9th Of the COM
ing 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 l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
9th day of October in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
two, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
twenty-seventh.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
BY the President: JOHN HAY,

The EVACUATION
OF SHANGHAI
GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND
GERMANY HAVE COME TO AN
AGREEMENT ON THE SUBJECT

PARIS, Oct 23.-From authoritative
sources the correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press has learned that France,
Great Britain and Germany have con-
Cluded an agreement providing for the
military evacuation of Shanghai by
their forces. The negotiations have also
brought about an important extension
of the open door policy as urged by
Secretary Hay. The agreement affects
not only Shanghai, but the entire
Yangtse- Kiang Valley, which the pow
ers are seeking to develop for CONNER
cial purposes. The date of the eva
cuation is still open, but leading Off
cial of the foreign office expressed the
belief that it Will undoubtedly De ac-
cOmplished by January %. About 700
troops will participate in the eVacua-
ton.
In the evacuation each power having
furnished about an equal number Of
troops since the Chinese crisis became
acute, France initiated the negotia-
lions, as it was felt that there was no
further need for maintaining a mill
tary establishment at Shanghai. The
first stages of the negotiations result
ed in agreement on two points, the
first was favorable to the evacuation;
the second was that in case any power
intended to resume the military occu-
pdHCy VI ondlSndl the OlncI powers
We're equally entitled to resume its oc-
cupancy.
Germany then proposed that China
be asked for assurances of equality Of
treatment of the powers. China gave
these assurances and the officials here
say this branch of the agreement
amounts to extension of the open door
policy in the Yangtse-Kiang region.
Although the nature of the commercial
equality is not specified, the agreement
IS that the military and other rights
of the powers shall be on an equal foot
ing. The United States is not a direct
party to the negotiations but has been
fully advised of the intention Of the
three powers. At one stage of the ne
gotiations Secretary Hay advised For
eign Minister NJ. Delcasse through En-
Dassador Porter that the United States
Government was in fun sympathy
with the plan and hoped for an early
agreement on the subject. The officials
here say the United States shares in
the benefits of the agreements as to
equality In treatment. The date of the
evacuation of Shanghai is expected to

GIANT POWDER Is STORED UNDERGROUND
IN NEARLY ALL OF UTAH GREAT MINES

Never in the history of precious
metal mining in the vest was there a
mine accident SO destructive of human
life as that now being chronicled. and
during the forty years of progress of
the Industry IN this state this is the
first time that more than three men
have lost their lives in any one metal
mine disaster.
In tie latter part of May. 1891. a cage
hFnke loose from its fastenings to the
cable in the shaft at the Daily mine,
adjoining the DAILY West. and three
men. including Chief Engineer Greeh-
leaf. were dashed to death in the bot
tom. That accident occurred within
few days after a thorough inspection
of the cage and its connections to the
cable had been made by the engineer
who lost his life Numbers of acct
dents have. of course occurred in
various metal mines in different parts
az the state and many close calls and
haiti breadth escapes have happened
in nearly all prominent properties.
Fully realizing the dangers of delv-
ing in the earth for the precious
metals. Utah's mine managers have
been uniformly careful of the health
and lives of the miners and probably
no other feature Of the business has
received more attention than the dues-
ton of placing safeguards about the
mysterious explosive known and des-
ignated as giant powder.

DEATH WAS PAINLESS
Faces of Man Wore Expressions
of Peace and Repose, Some
Almost Smiling.

The corpses as they were brought to
the surface We're brought down the
canyon in all sorts of conveyances. the
necessary permission for their removal
having been granted by the coroner at
an early hour. AS the bodies arrived
they were taken TO the two undertak-
ing establishments of the camp and
laid out in long, gruesome rows in the
cver-hlled charnel houses. The bodies
were washed and dressed as quickly as
possible and a number were made
ready for shipment, in accordance with
telegraphic instructions from relatives
1t is a remarkable fact that not one
Of the corpses brought down town was
mutilated, except that of the powder
boy, who was blown all to pieces. The
expression on each dead face was one

gle in any case. The men sueeumbed

In Park City the question has long
been a mooted one as to whether it is
safer to keep powder underground in
quantity or whether it would be bet
ter to send il into the mines as ocea-
sion demanded. That the former
method has been generally adopted in
the great mines of that camp is re-
garded as proof that it is considered
the safer of the two. The basis of
this opinion is found in the expression
of James ID. Murdoch, formerly chief
engineer at the Ontario, who stated
yesterday that il was considered the
better policy 10 always handle the
stuff as little as possible The danger
in sending it down on the cages with
the men has always been considered
as a most risky business and when the
mines became thoroughly opened the
practice was abandoned in most of the
mines.
.IEe Ontario and Daily mines each
keep the bulk of their powder on the
surface a practice that was inaugurat-
ed at the time when the former mine
was not connected with tunnel open
ings and when the closing of its shaft
through any cause would have meant
the inevitable drowning of every man
caught underground. These mines
have not since resumed the practice
of storing powder beneath the sur
face, but, generally speaking, it is the
rule all over the state.
