PRESIDENT HARRISON has issued the annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation., It follows: The gifts of God to our people during the last year have teen so abundant and so Special that the spirit of devout thanksgiv­ ing awaits not a call, but only the appoint­ ment of a day when H may ha*e a common expression. He has stayed tbe pestilence at ohr doors; He has given us more love for the free civil Institutions in the creation of which His directing providence was so conspicuous; He has awakened a 'deeper reverence for law; Ho has widened our philanthropy by a call to succor the dis­ tress in ot^er lands; He has blessed our schools, and Is bringing forward a patriotic and God-fearing generation to execute His great and benevolent designs for cur coun­ try; He has givon us great increase in ma­ terial wealth, and a wide diffusion of con­ tentment and comfort in the homes of our people; He bas givon His grace to the sor­ rowing, Wnerefore.

The fact that even under such circum­ stances trade bas been of enormous volume shows how powerful is tbe impetus toward activity and expansion.

Ucpublicans gain three, und the Democrats lose two. Congress­ men in the State, the Republicans elect­ ing four and the Democrats six of the ien. In the last Congress the Wiscon­ sin delegation stood eight Democrats and one Republican. Umur the appor­ tionment law of 1890 Wisconsin in-, creased its Congressional representa­ tion from nine to ten. The Congress­ men-elect by districts aro as follows: First, H. A. Cooper,* Rep., by 3,000; Second, Charles Barwig, Dem.; Third, John W. Babccck, Rep.; Fourth, John L. Mitvhell,v Dem.; Fifth, George H. Brickner, Depn.; Sixth, Owen A. Wells, Dem.; Seventh, Geo. B. Shaw. Rep., by 2,755; Eighth, Lyman E. Barnes, Dem., by 1,800; Ninth, Thomas Lynch, Dem.; Tenth, Nils B. Haugcn, Rep., by 4,500. The legislature is Democratic in both the Senate and Assembly. With thxsir fifteen hold-over Senators the Demo­ crats will have twenty-five of thb thirty- three members of the State Senate, and thej will have a majority of thirty-one on joint ballot. The Surprise In Illinois. Illinois elves Cleveland a plurality of over 25,000, and elecss a Demowatic Governor. Altgeld, by several thousand. There is little doubt that the next Con­ gressional deiega ion from Illinois will be composed of the following: First District, J. Frank Aldrich, Republican; Second District, L. E. McGann, Demo­ crat; Third District, A. C. Durborow, Jr., Democrat; Fourth District, Julius Goldzier, Democrat; Fifth District, A. J. Hopkins, Republican; Sixth District, R. R. Hitt, Republican; Seventh Dis­ trict, T. J. Henderson, Republican; Eighth District, Lewis Steward, Demo­ crat; Ninth District, H. K. Wheeler, Republican; Tenth District, P. S. Post, Republican: Eleventh District, R. F. Marsh, Republican; Twelfth District, J. J. McDannold, Democrat; Thirteenth District, W. M. Springer, Democrat; Fourteenth District, Owen Scott, Dem­ ocrat; Fifteenth District, J. G. Cannon, Republican; Sixteenth District, "G. W. Fithian, Democrat; Seventeenth Dis­ trict, Edward Lane, Democrat; Eight­ eenth Di-trict, W. S. Forman, Demo­ crat; Nineteenth District, J. R. Will­ iams Democrat. Twentieth District, G. W. Smith, Republican. Indiana I* Democratic. Indiana gives a safe plurality fat the Democratic electors, and from the latest returns it is ligured that eleven Demo­ cratic Congressmen are chosen, with the First still doubtful. The delegation will probably be made up aS' follows: First District, A. Hr'faylor, Dem.; Sec­ ond, John L. Brje{z. Dem.; Third, Jason B. trown, -flem.; Fourth, William S. HoJmkn, Dem.; Fifth, George W.Cooper, Dem.; Sixth, Henry U. Johnson, Rep.; Seventh, William D. Bynum, Dem.; Eigath. E. V. Brookshire, Dem.; Ninth, Dauiel Wau?h, Rep.; Tenth, Thomas Hammond, Dem.; Eleventh, A. N. Mar­ tin, Dem.; Twelfth. William F. McNag- ney, Dem.; Thirteenth, C. G.' Coon, Dem. The Legislature will be Demo­ cratic by about 3 i majority on joint ballot, insuring the re-election of Tur- pie to the U nited States Senate. How Michigan Split Things. The following are the Congressmen- elect in Michigan and their approximate majorities: First District, J. Logan Chipman (Dem.), 2,500; Second, S. Gor­ man; (Dem.), 750; Third, Julius C. Bur­ rows (Rep.), 5,000; Fourth, Dr. H. F. Thomas (Rep.), 250; Fifth, George F. Richardson (Dem.), 600; Sixth, D. D. Aitkin (Rep.), 500; Seventh, Justin R. Whiting (Dem.), tOO; Eighlh, W. S. Linton (Rep.), 1,200; Ninth, John W. Moon (Rep.), 200; Tenth, Thomas A. E. Weadock (Dem.), 700; Eleventh, Dr Jonn Avery (Rep.), 800; Twelfth, 8. M. Stephenson (Rep.), 2,000. The Demo­ crats have elected Presidential Electors In the eastern district and in the First, Becjnd, Seventh, and Tenth Congres­ sional Districts. They hope yet lor the Eighth District. Weaver Ahead In Nebraska. It is too early to give the exact vote of Nebraska. If the ratio keeps up, Weaver will carry the State by a small plurality. The entire Republican State ticket is undoubtedly elected by plu- alities ranging from 1,000 to 2,100. It barely possible Bryan is defeated the First District by Field, Rep. Bryan claims 270 plurality. Mercer, Rep., defeats Doane, Dem.,< the Second. In the Third, Micklejohn, Rep., defeats Helper, Dem. Haines, Rep., Is elected in the Fourth. McKeighan, Pop. Dem., is elected in Fifth over Andrews, Rep. The Sixth District is doubtful, with the chances favoring Kern, Ind. The Legislature will stand: 54 Populists, 33 Democrats, and 46 Republicans. ' Iowa for Harrison. Harrison's plurality in Iowa will reach about 22,000. The entire Repub lican State ticket is elected by about the same plurality. The Congressional delegation will stand ten Republicans and one Democrat, as follows: First District, John H. Gear, majority, 500; Second, Walter I. Hayes (Dem.), ma­ jority 8,000; Third, D. B. Henderson, malority 1,500; Fourth, Updegraff, ma­ jority 1.300; Fifth, R. B. Cousins, majority 400; Sixth, J. F. Lacra, ma­ jority 1,200; Seventh, J. A. T. Hull, majority 4,500; Eighth, W. P. Hepburn, majority 1,100; Tenth, J. P. Dolllver. 3,500; Eleventh, G. D. Perkins, majority 1,500. Both Dakota* Probably Republican. Harrison has carried North Dakota by 2,500. Johnson, Rep., is elected to Con­ gress by 3,000. The Republican State ticket receives average pluralities of 2,500, while the Legislature is in doubt. Scattering returns at hand indicate that Harrison Electors have carried South Dakota. The Republican State ticket is certain. Pickler and Lucas, Repa., are elected to Congress. The Legislature is probably Republican. Chairman Peemiller, of the Democratic State Committee, still claims the State for the Weaver Electors. HarrUon ttoliu in Minnesota. Harrison has undoubtedly carried Minnesota. Nelson, Rtp., Is elected Governor by a plurality of 12,000 to lfi,- 000. The following seem to have been elected to Congress: First District-- Tawney, Rep.; Second--McCleary.Rep.; Third--Hall, Dem.; Fourth -- Klefer, Rep.; Fifth--Flctchpr, Rep.; Sixth-- Searie, Rep.; Seventh--Feig, Rep. Sufficient returns have been* received to show that tbe Republicans will have a majority of twenty-eight in the Legis­ lature on joint ballot, thus Injuring the re-election of C. K. Davis to the United States Senate. Hut tu«k at Ohio. The greatest surprise to the Repub­ licans of Ohio Is tbe miscarriage of the gerrymander which las met the fate of all former efforts of previous legisla­ tures, Republican and Democratic, ex­ cept that by the latter party, when the districts were changed In 18«i>. The bill of last winter was designed to give the Eepublicans fifteen nnd the Democrats tlx <- ongressmen. The Democrats have In certainly gained three, and probafejjr four;of tho districts, and claim eleven members. It is believed the delegation will stand as follows: Republicans, Bel­ lamy Storer in the First District, John A. Caldwell in the Second, George W. Hulick In the Sixth, George W. Wilson in the Seventh, Luther M. Strong In the Eighth, W. II. Enochs in the Tenth, Charles H. Grosvenor in the Eleventh, H. C. Van Voorhls in the Fifteenth, S. A. Northway in the Nineteenth, W. J. White in the Twentieth. Democrats: George W. Honk in the Third, F. C. Lay ton in the Fourth, D. D. Donovan in tho Fifth, Byron Ritchie in the Ninth, J. H. Outhwajte in the Twelfth, D. D. Hare in the xhirteenin, A. J. Pearson in the Sixtoenth, James Richards in the Seventeenth, George P. Ikert in the Eighteenth, and Thomas L. Johnson in the Twenty-first. ^ Upturn* from Many States. Pennsylvania-- The Republicans made a clean sweep, by 85,000 majority. Wyoming--The Weaver electors 'and the Democratic State tloket have been elected. Vermont--Returns received from fifty Vermont towns give Harrison 12,765; Cleveland. 5,606. New Mexico--Joseph (Dem.) Is re­ turned to Congress. Republicans con­ trol the Legislature. Mississippi -- Cleveland carries the State by 20,000. The Democrats elect ail their Congressmen. Oregon--The Democratic State Com­ mittee concedes the electoral vote to Harrison, except one. Maine--Harrison's plurality in Maine will be less than 13,000, Republican loss of 8,000 since 18 33. Montana--Has chosen Harrison Elect­ ors and the Republicans elect a major* ity of their State ticket Rhode Island--Harrison's majority in Rhode Island is less than 3,000. Capron (Rep.) is elected to Congress. New Jersey -- Cleveland's majority will fall little short of 12,000. Werts, Dem., for Governor, is chosen. Maryland--Cleveland's majority will be over 20,000. All six Demo^iatio Congressmen have been elected. Virginia--Virginia is Democratic by nearly 30,000. A solid Democratic del­ egation has been returned to Congress. Idaho--This state has elected Weaver electors, but the Republicans have elected Swee; and McConneli to Con­ gress Georgia--Full returns show the elec­ tion ot the entire Democratic ticket. The majority for Cleveland may reach 70,000. Louisiana-- TJie entire Democratic delegation to Congress Is chosen and the State goes for Cleveland by more than 50,000. . North Carolina--The Democratic ma­ jority will probably be reduced by the People's party vote, but not enough to hurt the ticket. New Hampshire--The majority for Harrison in New Hampshire is about 3,000. The Legislature will probably elect the governor. Florida--Democrats claim 22,000 nfjli- jority for the Cleveland electorSv There was no Republican ticket, and the third party vote was light Alabama--Returns indicate a majority of at least 25,000 for Cleveland. Ail the Democratic candidates for Congress have safe majorities. Delaware--The Republicans concede I,000 Democratic majority. A Demo­ cratic Legislature is chosen, insuring the re-election of Senator Gray. Missouri--The entire Democratic ticket has beea elected by a plurality of 17,0u0, and the Democrats have carried thirteen out of the fifteen districts. Arkansas--Cleveland's majority will not fall below 20,000. The Democrats have elected five Congressmen and the Populists claim to have returned one. Tennessee--Cleveland has 65,000 plu­ rality and Peter Turney is elected Gov­ ernor by 50.000. Buchanan, the third party candidate, polled only 20,000 votes. South Carolina--Cleveland's zhajorlty will not fall much below 40,t)00. Demo­ crat s have elected Congressmen in every district except the Seventh, which is in doubt. Washington--ILarrison has at least 5,000 plurality. McGrew, Rep., for Gov­ ernor, leads, while the vote on the two Congressmen is close, favoring the Re- {mblicans. No* estimates on the Legis-ature. Connecticut -- Cleveland's plurality, 5,417. Four years ago it was 336. The entire Democratic ticket Is probably elected. The State Senate is a tie, and the Republicans have about 20 majority in the House. West Virginia--The Democrats confi­ dently claim tbe election of all four Congressmen. Cleveland will undoubt­ edly be given ine Electoral vote, and the election of the entire Democratic State ticket is generally conceded. Colorado--Weaver ha^ carried the State. Both the fusion candidates for Congress have been elected by safe majorities. The Legislature is in the hands of the Populists and Democrats, which insures the election of a Demo­ cratic Senator. Texas--Cleveland has earried the State, but the race between Hogg, Dem., and Clark for Governor is very close, with indications favoring the former. The Populists have probably captured two and the Republicans one Congress­ man out of thirteen. Kansas--The Democratic State Com­ mittee says the Weaver electors will have a majority in the State of 22,000; that Lewelllng, for Governor, wlli have 17,000 majority, and that the Democrats and Populists will get soven out of the ten Congressmen. Massachusetts--The Republican ticket was completely successful by pluralities from 2,00o down, except Ru sell, Dem., who has 2,000. The Legislature is heavily Republican in both branches. Of the thiiteen Congressmen the Re­ publicans carried ten. California -- The Democratio State Committee announces that the State has gone for Cleveland about 7,000 m i- jority. Chairman Myers, of the Repub­ lican Committee, concurs. The Con­ gressional delegation is probably five Republicans and four Democrats. Kentucky--The Democrats have elected Congressmen in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Districts, and the Re­ publicans In the Eleventh. The Second is doubtful. Cleveland receives about the same plurality as four years ago. Nevada--It is conceded by all that Weaver has carried Nevada by 1,600. Newlands, silver party, is elected to Congress. As to the Legislature, it is generally believed the sliver party has a majority, which will insure the re­ election of Stewart to the United States Senate. New York--Cleveland's plurality in New York State is about 44,000. In New York City it is 75,800, and tn Kings County about 25,000. The New York State Legislature will be Democratic by 14 or 16 on joint ballot, thus Insuring the election of a Democrat to succeed United States Senator Frank Hiscock. The Assembly will probably be made up of 70 Democrats and 58 Republicans. Elected President; of United States. I ' 'i} * NEW YORK GIVES GROVER .,v 42,900 PUURA14TY, i|i .

The complexion of the House of Rep­ resentatives will be materially changed, all three parties having made important gains and losses. The returns of Con­ gressional districts, while not absolutely complete, are sufficlent'y full to Indicate that the Democrats will have a large majority in the House, but probably not as large as in the present one, which is divided among the parties as follows: Democrats. 235; Republicans, 88; Al­ liance, 9; total, 333. The next House will contain 354 members, of whom the Democrats will have, as now appears, 317, the Republicans 1*8, aud the popu­ lists 9. The politlcardlvUions by States are follows: « States. Rep.

I have bunted coyotes on the West- erti pltfins and wolves in Canada and the Northwest, says a waiter in the S-'portsmon's Review, and I always thought a conflict with Siberian blood­ hounds would be as terrific as any, but for real work there is nothing like a pack of starving Norway wolves. It is something beyond the imaginative ability of the American hunter. Although we were told we mitrht possibly meet an attack: we braved the ride, however, all being well armed in case of need. The offi­ cers of the Mira carried the Hickla rifle. This is the military repeater of Norway. Morton had a four-bar­ rel Sharp's Ristol, while I carried a four-barrel'hamnjerless Charles Lan­ caster 45-caliber pistol, one I had re­ cently purchased while in London. We proceded about twenty miles without any serious incident, when just as we were crossing a l .ttle frozen creek some forty yards wide a strange sensation seemed to take possession of our deer; they shivered, trembled, and the hairs on their backs stbod on end. "Wolves!" yelled my driver, and he began to lash the deer, one of which promptly slipped on the ice, fell down, and tangled himself up in the harness, thus seriously impeding our coveted progress. F was'on the second sled with Lieut Bjornstan, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Cory. ••Boys," said I (common danger makes fast fiiends), "send every bullet home," Just at this moment six fierce* hun­ gry gray wolves came galloping to­ ward us about twenty yards away. 1 he deer regained his footing an<| away we dashed. Wolves can run as fast against the wind as with it, so can the deer, but they had a heavy sled, Ave people, and a foot deep of. frozen crusted snow to contend with. The Lieutenant began firing as the wolves gained on us. Robert, and Lieut Thrash were tiring rapidly, for the pack had been augmented and had divided forces. We had now run about half a mile, a wolf dropping once in a while, but on they came in increased numbers on our tfank. You wonder, perhaps, why I did not shoot. Well, I will tell you. A running wolf, while the shooter is in a sled behind trotting dder, is dif­ ficult to hit 1 had only 100 car- tr.dges and knew it would be mad­ ness to waste them. If the driver would only stop, but that was impos­ sible, as he and the beer were frantic from fright. At this moment one of the wolves juniped upon the deer's flank and was promptly killed by the Lieutenaut; but-this kind of game could not last long, so I prepared to dismount some of our pursuers. Straddling the dash­ board I pulled ray Lancaster, and every time a wolf jumped for the deer I shot at it and hit hard or killed about seven. Just at this mo­ ment, as we were making progress in our defense, our deer who had hurt his hip by his fall came to a stop, and the rear sled dashed into us. The collision was frightful, tumbling and spilling us all out, and the confusion was great. I called out to the drivei to save the deer, as we were instantly surrounded by tne maddened, beau tifully furred wolves. Deer, drivers, wolves, and we travelers were soon in a terrific melee for life; the officers fired their rifles with admirable pre­ cision and rapidity, and owing to the smokeless gunpowder we could sec well for flits. Lieut. Bjornstan wrapped robes about Miss Cory and Mrs. Wilson and placed them between us, we with oui backs toward them. I threw a blan­ ket over my left shoulder, using it as a shield. My Lancaster, in forty- eight rapid shots, did not miss fire once. 1 killed eighteen wolves, but my left leg is frightfully lacerated, having been caught bv two of the wolves. The ship doctor, however, assures me 1 need not fear hydropho­ bia. He feels confident in his opin­ ion, but I, as I own the leg, am cor­ respond! ngly doubtful Miss Cory was caught on the horns of one of the deer, and would have been instantly killed had { not promptly shot the deer. Morton fought like a true American, but his pistol clogged af­ ter the seventh shot and he was forced to use one of the sled runners. Just as I began to despair all at once the wolves, that is, those that were alive, ran awav as fast as they had come. Lieut Bjornstan fought gallantly and twice pulled Mrs. Wilson from the savage herd of animals Miss Elsa Cnamberlain sustained a great mental shock, but Morton accom­ plished wonders in,/her lestoration. We lost two guides, one driver, and three deer, but through assistance from the Lapps have returned to the ship and are in a fair way in body and mind. He Had Been There. A boarding house in this city ad- rertised for a hallboy. Among a host of applicants was a raw-boned, lanky youth, who rung the doorbell and was met by the landlady herself. "Want a boy" he asked, shifting from one foot to the other. "Yes,*' said the landlady, takingan inventory of the applicant "House run by a missis?' "Yes." "Be you she?" "Yes." "An'you want a boy to tend door, ran errants, trot to the grocery, sit in a cold hall, say you're out sixty times a day, and keep agents and tin ped­ dlers and kids often th' steps?" "Yes," said the astonished woman, •Hhats just what I do want." "Much money in it?" queried the boy. "Two dollars and fifty cen^ a 'week."

Paul Road Wednesday night at Highland Center, a email station north of Ottumwa, Iowa. . , A f«,ftfc froioht train riashod into th«- j* cabcose of the local freight, which was standing on the track, telescoping the-*" caboose and four cars. The caboose i caught fire and with several cars was t burned. The scene was heart-rending. Four people perished in the flames, and a number of others had narrow escapes. The caboose was split in two by a car • of grain, wedging in four people on the ? right side. The most pitiful sight was ^ that of Miss Lizzie Butler, of Ottumwa, who got her head out of the window, ? and piteously pleaded with those about the wreck to eave her, but her body was pinioned by the freight car and it was impossible to extricate her. Mrs. Samuel .tones, also of Ottumwa, tried to escape through a window, but ! , she was an unusually large woman an# could not get through. The other vie- 2 tims were an unknown woman and man. ^ The latter is thought to be a butcher of 'i > i? 5 vem a Hise B3TMEB S FATE, Oskftlossa. The injured "Sr# -Mrs. Clyde MilUsack and Mrs. C. D. Pickett of Ottumwa, and Miss Lizzie Corey of Sigourney, who are badly burned, but not fatally. A curious incident o? the accident was that one of the passen­ gers was disguised, and, in the crash, his disguise came off, revealing a noted erook. He quickly disappeared in the excitement. The cause of the accident, seems to have been due entirely to criminal careless­ ness on the part of the crew of the fast ^ train. The local train was standing at - the standing unloading freight. For four miles away the tra?k is perfectly level and straight, so that the danger lights of the standing train could easily be seen by the engineer and fireman of the fast train, and everybody saw it ap­ proaching but nev£r dreamed of a col­ lision. In fact, the company's rules are so strict that when trains enter station, yards if they are not under such abso­ lute control ks to be brought to a stop before striking another train, even through accident to switches or any­ thing else, heavy penalty attaches to the employes gftilty of violating them. The conduct of Engineer Richardson and Conductor Wood, who had charge of the fast train, in this distance, can­ not be accounted for by the officials of the road. No report has been made as to whether they were placed under ar­ rest, but an investigation is being made. In the fire one car load of barley and two ear loads of merchandise burned... I.ihermlist Gathering Dispersed. At Brussels thore was a big Liberalist demonstration Wednesday night, 3,500 v-:/ being present. M.
