NATION'S GRATITUDE

It is deemed appropriate

Universal Demand For a Day (Jenciat Tlianksiriviiijr. Nov,' York, Sept. .12.—A day of special thanksgiving for the preservation of the life of President McKinley is being urged by representative men in all walks of life, and it seems probable that Vice President Roosevelt will soon issue a proclamation appointing such a day. As tlie bulletins from the president's bedside have become more and more encouraging, the happiness and thankfulness of the people have been manifest on all sides.

That

the

vice president should issue the pLutlamation, and scores of telegrams nmn heads of tinaneial institutions here, from prominent clergymen of all do nominations here and elsewhere, and from officials in Washington, have been sent to the vice president asking him to appoint a special thanksgiving day within the next It) days. It is confidently believed in -New York that the vice president wjll welcome such an opportunity to express his own friendship for the president and the people's joy over the recovery.

A New York business man, in speaking about this, said: "1 have been in communication with the official Washington and representative en In New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Baltimore all day. You can hardly imagine the sweeping impetuosity of the demand for this day of special thanksgiving that is bring made on the vice president. 1 believe that within 2t hours the entire nation will be joining in it. "The more eneonragiiV- the bullet ins from the president become, the stronger the sentiment grows. It seems to be swelling over the land like a gigantic wave of joy and happiness. The nation wants to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the averting of a great calamity. If seems too long to wail until the annual thanksgiving iii November. The demand is instant, as the threatened loss was great beyond words to express. The vice president. 1 am sure will grant the nation's insistent desire."

He TiiIked Too Much.

Banbury. Conn., Sept. 12.—A warrant for broach of the peace has been issued for the arrest of Hanicl Weber, who, it is alleged, declared at the lac tory of the O. Millard •company, where he was employed as a hat maker, that he knew before the shooting occurred that President McKinley was to bi. assassinated. When "Weber reported for' work the other workmen in that department of the factory left the room, and told the superintendent that they would not work with the man Weber denied that he was an anarchist. Tlie police have not. found him to serve tlie warrant for the arrest,.

Mtiiuiit.ini Circumstuoecs. Springfield. Ills., Sept. i2.-Privafe Michael Lynch was arrested here and turned over to Captain Oscar Charles, In charge of the recruiting otliec here, who will send him to Fort Sheridan for trial. The case is a pitiful one aifd'may result in a mitigation of sentence. Lynch at Fort Leavenworth received a letter from his mother, living here, stating that her other son, John, was dying and that she would then be without means of support and asking him to return home. In consequence Lynch deserted and arrived home two days before his brother died.

Ail Kxtra Thanksirivinj Day. Chicago, Sept. 12.-lf the plans and hopes of Chicago clergymen and prominent laymen are realized then will be two great national days of thanksgiving this year instead of one. It is proposed that as soon as President McKinley's recovery is cerrain beyond doubt, a day be fixed as a national holiday, when i..e people of tli*1 United States shall lay aside business and gather in the churches to return thanks for the restoration of their president and afterward, possibly have a secular demonstration.

Foul Play Suspected.

Minneapolis, Sept. 12.—The body of a

man badly decomposed lias been found in the river. From papers on his person he is supposed to have been Thomas Denny, 20 years old, whose home is at Bellefonntaine, O. Denny came to Minneapolis last May and has been working as a tinsmith. I-Ie disappeared Aug. 24 and every effort to find him has been futile. 'The coroner will investigate the case to learn, if possible, if the young man met a violent, death.

A Trival Matter.

Paris, Sept. 12.—The special dls patches published in London an noivnclng riolious demonstrations on the part of a number of reservists at Mouteeau-Les-Mines was evidently grossly exaggerated. The incident at Mouteeau-Les-Mines. which was of a trivial nature, has absolutely no bearing on the general spirit of tlit French army. The affair occurred Sunday evening and passed almost unnoticed. Only three Paris papers alluded to it.

An Old Soldier D.^rade 1 Danville. Ills.. Sept. 12.—.Tolin R. Leffer, an inmate of the National Soldiers' home, was degraded by having the buttons cut off his coat, lie was then drummed out of the grounds for having manifested elation at the attempt upon tlie life of tlie president.

HOWISON CHALLENGED

An Alleged Interview Given In a Boston Papor Criticising: Schley Made Basis of Challenge.

The Competency of One of the Members of tlie Court Is Brought Into Question.

"Washington, Sept. 12.—What is looked upon as one of the greatest naval trials in history was opened today at noon. The only sensational feature of the opening was the formal challenging by Admiral Scliloy's counsel of the competency of Hear Admiral Howison as a member of the court. Evidence in this direction is occupying the court's attention this afternoon.

BKAIt ADMIltAL U0WI90N.

Tlie challenge was a very brief docu ment and is supported by several witnesses. including Mr. Frost of the Bos ton Record. which printed the alleged interview of Admiral Howison criti cising Admiral Schley, upon which th challenge is based.

Precisely at 12 o'clock the member of the court were seated, Admiral Dewey at the center of the table plac ed cross-wise of the room, with Rear Admiral Benham on his right and Hear Admiral Howison on liis left. The witnesses stood at the left end Of tlie table next the otlieial stenographer and the judge advocate, Captain Lem1 assoc ot bet represent certain naval officers not of ficially named as yet.

Mr. IIulz as the official stenographer. Next came the most interesting part of the day's proceedings, namely, the challenging by Admiral Schley's coun sel of the competency of Hear Admiral Howison as a member of the court.. They reiterated the charge that Ad miral Howison had expressed an opinion adverse to Admiral Schley. The expectation is that several hours will be consumed in argument, by counsel directed to the two members of the court whose competency is not ques tioned. Admirals Dewey and Benham I

Lesson That Waa Heeded.

A Philadelphia railroad contractor, who has racently returned from abroad, tells of an experience that befell him in Munioh illustrative of the difference in prevailing customs, Armed with a number of lettfers of introduction to European railroad officials, lie made it a point to inquire into the Avorkings of the various systems, and was treated with uniform courtesy. At Munich he thought he had acquired all the information lie was after, and as he passed out of the office of the man with whom he had been talking ho put on his hat. He had scarcely been ushered out when it occurred to him that there was one matter about which he had forgotten to inquire. "I immediately retraced my steps,"eaid thePhiladelphian, "and again entered the office, neglecting to remove my hat. I saw the same official with whom I had been talking, and, apologizing for taking up so much of his time, I put the question to him.

Without a word he reached up, took off my hat and placed it In my hand. Then ne answered my query and bowed me out It made me feel rather cheap."
