(By Associated Pratt.)
LONDON, Nov. 2. A dispatch to
tfhe Evening Standard from Odessa,
dated today, says:
"The city pings with the reports of
rifles and revolvers and occasionally a
volley It fired. Every house and tene
ment It bolted and barred. The In
fantry patrols ai doing: their duty
.perfumhorlly, dedlnlg to fire on the
mobs unless they themselves are at
tacked. The Cossacks are said to have
lost over a hundred men by bombs and
shot from, windows. Co-sack patrols
carry carbines and 'have thslr Angers
on the triggers. The streets are ab
solutely unsafe for civilians.
"The casualties yesterday are be'
tteved to have amounted to 5,000 killed
and wounded. In the Jewish quarters
bodies still strew the (streets and side
walks. Jeiwlsh women and children
were strangled and hacked to piece
In the streets where the mobs gained
the upper band. A Red Cross doctor
tells me that the Kislinleff honors were
repeated a hundredfold. The students
alone saved the city from wholesale
sack and massacre. The military are
now placing a hundred machine guns
ftt various points. Twenty-silx arts
fuJl o. wounded. 'hve Jujrt passed.
"Gea. Kaulbanswaa-called to the bai
cony of the palace this morning by
five thousand loyalists carrying Imper
ial portraits and Ikons and singing the
national hymn. .The general earnestly
entreated the assemblage to disperse
and go home, but with ringing cheers
the loyalists resumed marching through
the streets. r
"The sound of firing its again mov
ing "westward towards the Jewish
quarters. The mobs swear they will
not leave a single Jew alive."
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 21. 12:10
p. m. The Imperial decree creatine: the
caDinei ministers under the Imperial
mannesio granting a constitution to
Russia, was gazetted this morning and
has alreudy aroused criticism as the
machinery is extremely complicated
ana smacks of the old-fashioned bu
reaucraiic regime. The relations of
the cabinet to the council of the em
plre, or upper chamber, and the Im
perial douma. or popular chamber, are
not clenr because the powers of these
bodies are yet to be defined udder the
manifesto. Two features are especially
unsatisfactory.
While the cabinet has no authority to
decide matters within the competency
of the leglsliitive bodies, no measure
of "general importance" can be intro
duced Into the chambers without the
sanction of the cabinet, and another
provision requires that when the cab
inet Is not unanimous the nremler
ust go to the emperor and receive
nstructlons. This would seem to make
he final authority go back to the em
peror.

RAIN STOPS RIOTS
AT ST PETERSBURG
(By Attooiated Press.)
ST. "PETERSBURG, Nov. 2. A
drenching downpour today was a more
effective means of preventing a re
newal of the demonstrations than the
police and military patrols. The crowds
had no desire to appear on the streets
in the torrents of rain. The police have
arrested three members of the strike
committee. The committee sent a dep
utation to Count Witte, upon whose
recommendation Gen. Trepoff ordered
their release.
It is now definitely established that
the whole student movement is prac

Royal Arcanum Members Ask
AttyGen.to Bring RateQues

(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 2. Attorney
General Parker of Massachusetts, has
been asked to petition the Supreme
council for an Injunction restraining
tha Supreme council of the Royal Ar
canum from enforcing the assessment
rates adopted at the convention at At
lantic City. The question, was. brought
before the Massachusetts officials fee-
cause the Royal Arcanum 'wa organ
ized In this State In 1877. The pe
titioning members contend that the ac
tion of the Supreme council in adopt
ing the new rates were unreasonable,
unnecessary, Inequitable, unjust and
illegal.

NASHVILLE Tenn., Nov. 2. The
Injunction asked for to prevent the
Supreme Council of the Royal Arca

adopted at the Atlantic City meeting,
was denied by Fed?ral Judge da"rk to
day and the :blll of the complainants

not sufficiently clear, under the law
of Massachusetts. In which State the
order was Incorporated', that this plan
of assessment and the effect on mem

tract, and x-ntll It did so appear, ob

MOUNT VERNON, O., Nov. 2.-
Buried beneath a culvert, 200 feet from
the spot where Stuart Plerson, the
Kenyon college student was ground to
death by a train, the authorities have
found three lengths of blood stained
rope and a wad of absorbent cotton,
also saturated with blooA.
Coanty Prosecutor Stlllwell expresses
the firm belief that the boy was chlor
oformed, the cotton saturated, bound
across his face and that that he was
then tied across the tracks as a part
of his Initiation Into a college f rater'
nlty. The authorities believe that tne
cotton was removed later and the boy
left stupefied. On these grounds the
prosecutor will carry the case to the
grand Jury on November 13.

that several persons are 'under sur

NEWS BROKEN TO
THE PEOPLE GENTLY
The Annual Proclamation
Breathes Spirit of Gratitude.
Year of Great Prosperity. y
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Tha presi
dent today Issued his proclamation,
naming Thursday, November SO, next.
as a day for Thanksgiving. . The proc
lamation follows:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF TH1C
UNITED STATES A PROCLAMA
TION. .-
When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came to the country whlca
has now become this republic, they
fronted not only hardships, but terrible
risk to their lives. In those grim year
the custom grew of setting apart one
day In each year for a special service
of thanksgiving to the Almighty for
preserving the people through the
hanging seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by im
memorial usage. We live In easier and
more plentiful times than our fore
fathers, the men who wHh rugged;
strength faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national lift are
quit as great now aa at any previous '
time In our history. It la eminently
fitting that once a year our people
thoutd set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the Giver of good and,
at the tame time that they express
their thankfulness for the abundant
mercies received, should manfully ac
knowledge their short earnings and
pledge themselves solemnly and In good
faith to strive to overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bus
iness prosperity has been great No
other people have ever stood on as
high a level of material well-being as
ours now stand. We are not now be
Ing threatened by foes from within and
without. The foes from whom we
should pray to be delivered are ous
own passions, appetites and follies and
against these there is always need that '
we should war. ' , -
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs- r
day the 30th day of this November as
day of thanksgiving for the past and .
of prayer for the future, and on that
day I ask that throughout the land
the people gather In their homes and
laces of worship, and in rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to lives of piety, ..
honor and wisdom, so that this nation
may do Its allotted work on earth in"
a manner worthy of those who founded
It and of those who preserved It ...
In witness thereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal ot the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
2nd day of November, In the year of
Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and five, and of the independence of .
the United States, the , one hundred
and thirtieth.
