The prince proposed the health of President Roosevelt, and Ad- n1iral Evans the health of King Ed ward. 1...... !
 The dinner tonight was the conclud- ing feature of the second day of Prince Louis visit to America. The official programme of entertainment did not begin until the afternoon. . The morn ing was given over to an informal ex- change of visits between the command. ing and junior officers of the several squadro Perfect weather prevailed and the sea was smooth. The spectac- ular feature of the day was the review of the brigade of midshipmen on the parade ground this afternoon, followed by sdress parade. Then came the re- ception of Admiral Sands for the Brit ish and American officers, a brilliant affair, after which the prince returned to his flagship to shift into evening dress for Admiral Evans dinner.
 Prince Louis found time between the dress parade and the repection to re- turn the call of the mayor of Annapo- lis, who called on board the Drake yes terday afternoon to offer the admiral prince the. freedom of Maryland's cap ital.
 A special review of the midshipmer is always a sight alone worth the, triI to Annapolis. The beautiful parade ground is covered with a carpet ssi green, the center of a quadrangle, three sides of which are formed by the off cers' quarters and the fourth by the Severn river But this afternoon was g gala occasion.

BRIDE SLASHED IN FACE
Disappointed Lover Attacks Her ms She
 is Entering Hall.

New York, Nov. 2.-Surrounded by a gay wedding party, and leaning on, the arm of her intended husband, Marguer- ite Aulitte, an Italian bride-elect, was terribly slashed about thu" face with a razor in the hands of a disappointed lover as the party was entering the city hall to-day for the wedding cere- mony. Angelo Paslora, a barber, who was former sweetheart of Miss Au- litte, stole up behind the wedding party on the steps of the city hall, reached over the young woman's shoulder and made several deep .slashes in her neck and cheek, evidently with the intention of cutting her throat. Before Rocco Tenare, the fiance of Miss Aulittle, could reach the barber he fled across City Hall park, pursued by several of the wedding party. As the barber dashed through the crowd he waved the razor so threateningly that no one dared to stop him. He was finally overtaken and disarmed by a police man. The bride tainted and was sent to a hospital. The wedding was post poned.

NEW SPEED RECORD FOR
 AMERICAN BATTLESHIPS
MADE BY RHODE ISLAND IN oF- RICLAL STANDARDIZATION
 TRIAL.

steams Mile at the Rate Of l9.ss
 Knots an HOur--HighIy Satisfactory
 Performance'Both to the Contractors
 and the Trial Board-To Make Four-
 Hour Endurance Run To-day-con-
 neeticut to be Tried in January.
 Rockland. Me, Nov. 2.-A new speee record for American battleships was es- tablished to-day by the Rhode Island on her official standardization trial trip over the measured mile course of Owls Head, during which she steamed one mile at rate of 19.S3 knots an hour. Another mile was made at the rate of 1927, while the mean time for twelve runs over the course was 1893 knots ak hour
 The contract of the builders, the Fore River Shipbuilding company, called for speed of nineteen knots, and the showing made by the vessel was most satisfactory, not only to the trial board. but to her builders.
 It was demonstrated by the trial that l25,74 revolutionists would give the Rhode Island her contract speed of nineteen knots, and as 126 revolutions were attained during the runs to-day. it is expected that in the four-hour en- durance test which will be made to- morrow in the run back to Boston the contract speed will be reached without difficulty. The Rhode Island will leave at 8 o'clock in the morning and will probably begin her test when off Mon began.
 The trial to-day was made under fairly good conditions. The sea was quite smooth, although a stiff breeze from the northwest blew diagonally across the course, which runs about north and south.
 The Rhode Island started out at S:20 o'clock this morning and for an hour ran up and down the bay in order to set everything running smoothly. with her propellers making 120 revolutions A minute, the big warship was headed for the course at about 9:SO and made tbe first mile at the rate of 18.42. The speed was gradually increased until at Ethe fourth trial, with 126 revolutions. d speed of 1893 knots an hour, the maxi mum, was attained. Eight other runs followed, several of which were over nineteen knots. There was very little l vibration and the turns were made cas- l fly. The condenser. which bothered thu l3engine room gang during the past few days, gave no troilhls tod i,a fac:s everything worked with great smooth A ness. Rear-A dmiral Francis T. Bowles I (retired), the president of the Fore Riv- CT company, was on board. F. o. WeI- lington was in charge of the ship, while E. E E wards looked after the engine room.
 The trial board expressed themselves as being pleased with the Owls Head course and stated that four other bat tleships now nearing completion would be sent over the same course during the next three months. The Virginia will be tried on November IS, the Lou isiana on November 2S, the New Jersey in December and the Connecticut in January.

Just the Same as McAdoo Did to ssNIrs. Warren's"-says There Are Pro-
 fessions That Cannot Go on in New
 York Any Longer--Jerome Confines
 His Efforts to One speech-Great Demonstration for Hearst.
 New York, Nov. 2.-With the election but few days away the three mayor atty candidates in, Greater New York quickened their pace tonight, each be ing intent upon getting in as much work as possible in the remaining hours of the campaign. Mayor Mcclellan spoke at no less than eight meetings; William M. Twins, the republican candi- date, spoke at a like number, and Will liam R. Hearst, the municipal owner ship candidate was heard at six differ ent gatherings James ". Osborne, democratic nominee for district attor- ney of New York county, spoke at nine meetings while District Attorney Je- rome, who is standing independe for reelection, confined himself to one address.
 Mayor Mcclellan asked for votes on the record of his administration during the past two years. He declared he would not ask for support on promises he could not fulfill. At one of his meet | ings Mayor Mcclellan was greeted by several hundred students of Columbia university, who gave him an ienthusi, astic reception. s which he attacked the democratic ad- ministration and boss rule'' declared:
 T will put an end to Mr. Mrphy's profession, as the police commissioner put an end to Mrs. Warren's Profes- sion.' There are certain professions that cannot go on here I will inquire whereare the misapplied public funds. I will not ask where he got it.. but will find out, and will do m ybest to make him drop it."
 At one of MT. yHearst's rallies to- night the candidate, at the conclusion of his speech, was caught upon the shoulders of his hearers and conveyed to his waiting carriage, great cheers following him as he drove away to
 keep his next engagement.
 District Attorney Jerome in his one speech of the evening, continued his at tack upon the democratic adninistra- tion, and dwelt especially upon the po-
 sition occupied by Charles E. Murphy
 leader of Tammany Hall. MT. Jerome said 1t was impossible for him to hire a hall in Mr. Murphy's district. Fin ally trucks had to be made use of in order to get at the voters in that sec- l ton.
 Mr. Osborne, Mr., Jerome's democrat 1 ic opponent, in one of his speeches, as- serted that Mr., Jerome as district at torney discrirninated between the crim-
 inaI poor and the criminal rich. If he
 had not done ttis," the speaker de-

ISSUES HIS PROCLAMATION
PRESIDENT EXPORTS PEOPLE TO OBSERVE THANKSGIVING.

Throughout the Land They Are Asked
 to Gather in Their Homes and Places
 of Worship and in Rendering Thanks
 Unto the Most High for Manifold
 Blessings Consecrate Themselves to a
 Life of Cleanliness, Honor and Wis
 dom.
 Washington, Nov 2.--The president to-day issued his proclamation naming Thursday, November 30, next, as a day for thanksgiving. It is as follows: By the President of the United States
 of America: -4 M
 A Proclamation.
 When nearly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great republic, they fronted not only hardship and privation, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for special service of thanks giving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing sea- sons. The custom has now become na- tional and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plentiful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the rugged days, and yet the dangers to national life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It is erninently fitting that once 8 year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanks giving to the Giver of Good, and, at the same time, that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their short comings and pledge them selves soleGnnly and in good faith to strivelto overcome them. During the past year we have been blessed with Ibountiful crops. Our business prosper ity has been great. No other people has ever stood on as high level of material well being as ours now stand. We are not threatened by foes from without The foes from whom we should pray to be delivered are our | own paSSlOn, appetlLeS atlu EIollIeS3 dIlu against these there is always need that we should war.
 Therefore, now set apart Thursday, the thirtieth day of this November, as day of Thanksgiving for the past and of the prayer for the future, and on that day ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship, and in render | ing thanks to the most high for the manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a new life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that this nation may do it's allotted work on the earth in manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it.
 In witness whereofsI 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, 1905, and of the independ- ence of the United States the 130th. 1 (SeaD Theodore Roosevelt.

 St. Petersburg, Nov. S.-The council of the workmen's delegates at midnight issued a notice pointing out the neees- sity of arming workers for decisive struggle for the convocation of a con- stituent assembly, based on universal suffrage, with a view to the formation of democratic republic.
 The council decided to suspend the political strike at noon to-day, but on the condition that it be resumed if their demands were not granted. The council decided also that only those newspapers may appear whose editors will entirely ignore the censorship. Competitors have refused to work ex- cept under this condition, and neWspa- pers not complying with it will be con- fiscated, their presses destroyed and their workmen boycotted.
 The Railway Mems union, however, has decided to continue the strike, mainly through a desire to prevent the transport of troops to Finland. The Union of Unions has resolved to de- mand complete amnesty for political prisoners, the immediate withdrawal of troops from St. Petersburg and their replacement by militia drawn from the people. ....A. ..
 The proceedings of the workmen' s council daily, appear in a secretly printed newspaper, which to-day con- tains an article, saying.
 Freedom of meeting, but the meet ing surrounded by troops; freedom of speech, but the censorship remains; freedom of learning, but the university occupied by troops; inviolability of per sons, but the prisons full; Witte given, but Trepoff remains; constitution giv- en, but autocracy remains; all given, nothing given"
 It was, officially announced last night that the censorship of press telegrams had been abolished.
 It was stated that officers and pri- yates who met at the university on oc- tober 30 formally resolved to use arms against the autocracy, which was striv- ing to strang1e the proletariat, who had now reached the last act of the revo- lution. %.s.. s-
 Despatches received here last night report anti-Jewish rioting at Romny and at saratoff, where synagogue was burned to the ground. The disorders still continue.

CRITICAL CONDITION OF
 ENGINEERING IN NAVY
ATTENTION CALLED TO IT BY ADMIRAL RAE, CHIEF
 ENGINEER.

Points Out the Disastrous Explosion on
 the GunbOat Remington as FOrcibIy
 Emphasizing the Necessity of Serious
 and Immediate AttentiOn-WhoIe
 Corps of Specialists Abolished by the
 Personnel Bill and Their Duties
 Transferred to the Line.
 Washington, Nov. 2.-Rear-Admiral Charles W. Rae, engineer-in-chief of the United States navy, in his annual report calls attention ito the critical condition of engineering in the navy" |" and points to the explosion of the gum boat Bennington in San Diego harbor, which, he says, most forcibly empha- sizes the necessity of serious and inne- diate attention. Speaking of the oper- ations of the personnel bill which merg- ed the corps of engineers into the line of the navy, he says whole corps of specialists was virtually abolished and its duties transferred to the line. As all midshipmen at the academy had been given excellent practical instruc- tions instructions in engineering, he adds, no examination other than that required for promotion was demanded of them for qualifying for the perform ance of the joint duties imposed by the personnel act. The intent, however, he continued, was that they should be or dered at once to the performance of engineer duty in subordinate capacities, as assistants of the older engineer off, cers. ." 5
 Owing to the absence of specific instructions in the personnel bill, com bined with powerful adverse influences within the departmsnt,' he continued, flor three years absolutely nothing was done by the younger line officers in acquiring engineering experience, and later, owing to the, large number of ships kept in commission, and the scarcity of officers, but little in that direction was accomplished, But for the availability of certain retired Ila- val officers. the bureau, the report says, would experience great difficulty in finding officers for the various re- sponsible positions. both on shore and at sea- .@-N-.. e5
 ''So few officers of the line are talk  ing up engineering seriously that the situation is becoming alarming" says the. engineer-in-chief, and he adds: Were the country suddenly plunged in war the navy would find itself in no condition to win battles.
 As necessary as mark ksnaanship k the ability to carry our guns to the fir. ing line and to keep them there amidst the havoc created by modern ordnance and this will never be done with anna. teurs in charge of the machinery. Thai line officers can become good engineers has already been proved but they mus have experience to become so, and that Isexperience must be. acquired in subor. dinate positions. No young officer out the the academy but a short time, who would not be given charge of the deck except under the supervision of seniol officer, should be placed in charge oi the engineer department of a ship, aE has been done. Engineering logically belang to the line and the line should be made to perform tisat duty earnest, ly. :..
