Pekin, Nov. 4.—^
-The Chinese gov­
ernment is greatly disturbed at the
reoccupation o f Mukden, the capital
o f Manchuria, by Russian troop*. The
foreign office is appealing to friendly
foreign legations for help and advice,
admitting its own helplessness in, the
matter.
The communication relating to Mnk-
den is as follows:
“ The Russians employed a noted
brigand, who was accused of many
crimes against the Chinese, as chief
o f one of the Irregular bands of po­
lice that are organising in Manchur­
ia. The authorities repeatedly re­
quested the surrender of - this man,
and the Russians recently consented
to give him np.
“ Thereupon a Chinese officer decap­
itated the brigand without giving him
a trial. When this became known,
the Russians demanded the execution
of this officer within five days, giving
aa an alternative the seizure of Muk­
den. ..
“ The Chinese foreign office was ne­
gotiating with Paul Lessar, the Rus­
sian Minister, on the matter, and of­
fered to banish the officer, pleading
that he had exceeded hla Instructions,
and to remove the taotai, his super­
ior. from office.
<
"There was a misunderstanding as
to the time limit set for the*e negoti­
ations. The Chinese thought it ex­
pired yesterday. Before the negoti­
ations were completed the news was
received here that Russia had ful­
filled her promise to reoccupy Muk­
den.”

Washington, Nov. 8.—The presi­
dent today issued his annual Thanks­
giving proclamation in the following
term«:
By the President o f the United
States of America—A Proclamation:
“ The season 1« at hand when, ac­
cording to the customs of our people,
it falls upon the president to appoint
a day of praise and thanksgiving to
God. During the lash-year, the Lord
has dealt bountifully with ua, giving
us peace at home and abroad, and the
chance for onr citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war,
famine or plague. It behooves ua not
only to rejoice greatly because of
what kma been given ua, but to ac­
cept It with a solemn sense of respon­
sibility. realising that under heaven
it rests with ourselves to show that
we are worthy to use aright what has
thus been entrusted to our care.
“ In no other place, and at no »ther
time, has the experiment of govern­
ment o f the people, by the people and
for the people been tried on so vast
a scale as here In our own country in
the opening years o f the twentieth
century- Failure would not only be
a dreadful thing for all mankind, f6r
it would mean loss o f hopes for all
who believe In the power and the
righteousness o f liberty.
“ Therefore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended to na In the past,
we beseech Him that He may not
withhold them In the future, and our
hearts may be aroused to war stead­
fastly for good and against all forces
of evil, public and private. W e pray
for strength and light, so that In the
coming years we may, with cleanli­
ness, fearlessness and wisdom, do
our allotted work on earth In siich
manner aa to show that we are not al­
together unworthy o f the blessings
we have received.
“ Now, therefore, ir Theodore Roos­
evelt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day o f gen­
eral thanksgiving, the 26th o f the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land people cease
from their wonted occupations, and
in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks to Almighty
God for his manifold mercies.
“ In witness whereof, I have here­
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States tp be affixed.
“ Done at the City of Washington,
this 31st day o f October, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand nine hun­
dred and three, and o f the Independ­
ence of the United States the one
ìundred and twenty-eight.

Pueblo, Colo., Nov. 2.— By an act of
train wreckers, east bound 8anta Fe
passenger train No. 6, known as tbs
Colorado-Chicago flyer, in which wsa
one car filled , with Eastern bankers
homeward bound from California, wa»
derailed at 1 :30 o'clock this morning
at Apishapa creek, 35 miles east of this
city, snd breaking down the steel
bridge, the engine and four cars follow­
ing plunged to the bed of the creek,
where they were piled in a mass of
wreckge. Thirty or more trainmen
and passengers were injured, snd that
none were killed outright is regarded
ss almost miraculous.
But for the accident of a hot box on
the .express car, a large amount o f
money would have been in the safe on
the wrecked train, and this, it is be­
lieved, is the plunder the desperados
hoped to secure. Valises were rifled
by the robbers during the excitement
following the wreck.
The express car in which, according
to report, the money was being trans­
ported, was left in Colorado Springs
last night for a later train.
The wrecked train was made up at
Denver last evening, and at Pueblo tho
special car Del Rosa, in charge of A. S.
Kimberly, and carrying 18 Eastern
bankers, was attached to it. The train
was bowling along at a speed of 50
miles an hoar as it approached Apish­
apa creek. At the west end of the
bridge, the rails spread, derailing tho
engine, and when-it struck the bridge,
one span, 100 feet long, went down.
The engine, two baggage cars, and a
chair car aiid a coach rolled over on
their sides to the creek bed, a distance
of only about 16 feet.
Fortunately,
but little water was running in the
creek at the time. One Pullman stop­
ped with the forward end projecting
over the embankment.
The bankers'
car was the only one in the train that
was not derailed. The engine rolled
over and Engineer Walker was pinned
under his cab» and. he was immediately
enveloped in a dense cloud of steam.
Some time elapsed before he was res­
cued.

and Ftftoen Persons Killed.
Indianapolis, Nov. 3.— Fifteen per­
sons were killed and 51 injured, soihe
aftally, at. 10:20 today in a collision
between a special passenger train on
the Big Four Railroad, and a freight
engine with a cut of coal cars. The
accident happened in the edge of this
city. The passenger train of 12
coaches was .carrying 964 persons,
nearly all o f whom were students of
Perdue University and their friends
from Lafayette to Indianapolis for
the annual football game between
Purdue team sad the Indiana Uni­
versity squad for the state champion­
ship, which was to have been fought
this afternoon.
In the first coach back of the en­
gine were the Purdue football team
subplayers and managers.
Three
players, the assistant coach, trainer
and seven subplayers o f the univers­
ity were killed, and every one of the
53 persons in the car were either
fatally- or seriously injured.
From the 12 coaches were coming
the joyous cries of a thousand rooters
trained to the hour, on whon hopes
colors streaming, while In the front
coach Bat 20 great muscular fellows,
trained to hour, on whom the hopes
of a grilliant victory on the gridiron
were confidently placed. Rounding a
curve at the Eighteenth-street cut.
Engineer W. H. Schumaker found di­
rectly in front of him the freight en­
gine and - coal cars moving slowly
from a switch leading to a gravel pit.
He reversed his engine and jumped.
The crash hurled the passenger en­
gine and three front coaches against
the steel freight cars loaded with
coal, that plowed their way through
and buried under a pile o f wreckage
weighing many tons fully 60 human
beings.
The first car, in which were the
players, was completely demolished,
the root being torn away and falling
across a car o f coal, while the body of
the car was reduced to kindling wood
against the side of the steel freight
cars. The second coach, containing a
brass band, was partly telescoped, and
the third coach was overturned and
hurled down a 16-foot embankment.
The other coaches did not leave the
track.
Torch Applied to Pino Collage.
New York, Nov. 3.-^Men who guard
the New York City watershed at Ama-

plied the torch to the $100,000 college
of the Christian Brothers, a Catholic
Institution, where boys were*' being
educated.
The brothers

months ago obtained an injunction
against the watershed commissioners
to prevent the destruction of the
building.
The
injunction expired

the building. The Brothers, having
received their condemnation award,

Washington, Nov. 2.— In accordance
with his plan to permit the house tt
have more to say concerning the run
ning of its affairs at the coming sessior
of congress, Congressman Cannon, wh<
has enough votes pledged to elect hin
speaker, will make some changes ir
the rules committee, which last sessior
consisted of Payne, of New Y ork ; Dal
sell, of Pennsylvania; Grosvenor, o
Ohio; Speaker Henderson, of Iowa
and one Democrat, Richardson, of Ten
nessee. Mr. Cannon desires that th«
committee be more representative of all
parts of the country.
Two plans now present themselves tc
him. One is to remove some of th«
old members, which might canse som<
hard feeling, and the other is to in-
crease the membership to seven men.
With the retirement of Speaker Hen
derson, not a single member of th«
rules committee would come from weel
of the Mississippi river. There hai
been some talk of the displacement oi
Grosvenor and Payne, by Hemenway
of Indiana, and Burton, of Ohio
Hemenway does not want the place, at

Hpeburn, of Iowa, has been suggested
as an alternate. It is generally be­
lieved, however, that the committee
will consist of seven members at the
coming session, and two well known
friends of the new regime will find
place on the committee, one perhaps
coming from the far West and one
from the middle West. This could
place Cannon and his friends in control
of the committee with less friction
than possibly by any other method.
Crank at White House.
(¡W ashington, Nov. 2.— Edward S.Tan­
ner, 33 years of age, a native of Switz­
erland and a crank, tried to see the pres­
ident today, but he did not get far be­
yond the doors of the executive office
before his condition was discovered.
He was taken- to the police headquar­
ters, and later to St. Elizabeth Insane
asylum.
His delusion was that he
was being, pursded by airships. He
thought the president would make
them stop bothering him.
