Washington, Nov. 3. President
Roosevelt bas issued his proclama
tion naming Thursday, November
30, as a day ot Inankseiviog as
follows:
By tbe president of the United
States of America.
A. proclamation:
Wnen, nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to tbe coun
try which bas now become this
great republic, they faced not only
hardship and privation but tembl
neks to their lives. In those grim
years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for
special service thanksgiving to the
Almighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorialusage.
We live in easier and more plen
tiful times than our torefathers, the
men who with rugged strength
faced the tugged days, and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time
in our history. It is. eminently fit
ting that once a year our psople
should set apart a day for praise
and thanksgiving to the giver of good
and at the same time they express
their thankfulness for the abund
ant mercies received, should man
fully acknowledge their shortcom
ings and pledge themselves solemn
ly and in good faith to.slrive to ov
ercome 'hem: -During5 the past
year we have been blessed with
bountiful crops. Our business pros
perity has been g-eat. " No other
people has ever stood on as high a
level of material wellbeiog as ours
now stands.' We are not threaten
ed by foes flam without. The foes
from whom we should pray to be
delivered are our passions, appetites
and follies; and against these there
is always need that we should warn.
Therefore,1 1 now set apart Thurs
day, the 3oth day of this November
as a day of thanksgiving for the
past and of prayer' for the future,
and on that day I ask that through
out the nation the people gather in
their homes and places of worship
and, and in rendering thanks unto
the most high for the manifold
blessings of the past year, consecrate
themselves to a life of cleanliness,
honor and wisdom, so that this na
tion may do its allotted work on
earth in a manner worthy of those
who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof I 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 second day of November in the
year of Our Eord, One Thousand
Nine Hundred and Five and of the
Independence of the United States
the One Hundred and Thirtieth.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
By the President.
ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of State.
Washington, Nov. 4. For obvi
ous reasons, no member of the ad
ministration can be Quoted on the
matter of Mitchell's case, but if the
president s views and those of his
various cabinet officers could . be
printed, the peeple of Oregon would
have no doubt as to the position of
the administration. So far, the ad
ministration has done nothing to
force Mitchell, Hermann or Wil
liamson out of Congress, though
some officials of tbe department of
uctice bave been urging the atior-
ey-general to ask for an advance
ment of tbe Mitchell case on tbe
docket of the United S ates supreme
court. If this is done, and tbe su
preme court sustains tbe findings
of the lower court, Mitchell will be
eprived of his epat some time this
winter and Governor Chamberlain
will bave an opportunity to appoint
bis successor to serve until March
1907.
Warsaw, Nov. 5 Great patriot
ic demonstrations were held in the
street today. by crowds estimated at
2oo,ooo persons. Processions head-
d by the clergy and singing "God
Save Poland," paraded the princi-
oal streets, which were elaborately
decorated. The balconies and wind
ows of the houses were filled with
pectators. A citizen guard kept
exemp'ary older, and tbe military
ma-sed in the eide streets had no
reason to object.
Loyalists endeavored to organize
a demonstration, but it was a com
plete failure, barely 45oo persons
taking part in it.
A Jewish military, armed with
revo'vere, is guarding Jewisn nous
es iu tbe outskirts of the city. Tbe
militia shot and killed four dieguie-
ed detectives fouod trying to pro
voke disturbances.

Three children are dead and 13
DeoDle are imured. one fatally, as
tbe result of an explosion here to

The victims were all church at
tendants on their way home. An;
derson and Peterson, stearxfitters,
had been engaged to make repairs
to tbe heating plant, and as they
entered the building they detected
the Bmell of gas. They thought lit
tle of the circumstance, however,
and as they passed into the furnace
room they struck a match to a gas
tet.
Ihere was a terrible explosion.
The eteam-fitters were thrown
through the doorway at tbe rear of
tbe building, while the building
collapsed, falling into a mass of
ruins. A crew was switching cars
on a sidetrack near the bank and
tbe cars blocked the crossing when
tb explosion occurred. Many per
sons were standing on the walk,
aw iitingthe passage of the cars
an ' thus were within reach of the
e plosion.
('here was a number of narrow
e- apes from dtath or serious injury.
