EVENING BULL -Wednesday. November 17. 1889. thanksgiving day. Uo paper will»be issued from the office of the Evening Buli.ktin to-morrow, in order that all persons connected with the establish ment may be enabled to comply with the re commendation of the President of the United States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, con tained in the following proclamation: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania— Thavkhgvv jno Proclamation —John W. Geary, Go vernor. “The year -which is drawing to a close lias been free from pestilence; health has pre vailed throughout the land; abundant crops reward the labors of the husbandman; com merce and manufactures have successfully prosecuted their peaceful paths ; the mines and forcsts bave yielded liberally ; the nation Las increased in "wealth and in strength j peace has prevailed and its blessings have advanced every interest of tlio people in every part ot the Unjon; harmony and fraternal intercourse restored are obliterating the marks' of past ■conflict and estrangement; burdens have been lightened ; means have been increased; civil and-religions liberty are secured to every in habitant of the land, whose sod is trod by none but freemen. It becomes a people thus favored to make acknowledgment to the 011- preme Author trom whom such blessings flow, ot their gratitude and their .dependence, to render praise and thanksgiving for the same, • and devoutly to implore a continuance of ■God's mercies.' « Therefore, I, Ulysses S, Grant, President of the United States, do Tecommend that Thursday, the 18th of November next, bo ob served as a day of thanksgiving and of praise to Almighty God, the Creator and Killer of ihe'Universe. And Ido further recommend to all the people of the United States to as semble on that day in their .accustomed places «f public worship, and to unite in the homage suqc| praise due to our bountiful Father of all •mercies, and fervent prayer for the con tinuance of the manifold blessings He has vouchsafed to us as a people. "In Testimony whereof,! have hereunto-set •my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to he affixed, this fifth day of October, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the‘United States of America the ninety lourth. U. S. Grant. "Bv the President: “Hamilton Fisn, Secretary of State. The President of the United States having issued the foregoing proclamation, I do most earnestly advise that the people of theCommon wealh of Pennsylvania, for the reasons therein given, strictly observe its recommenda tions. , „ ■ Given under my hand and the Seal ot the Commonwealth, at Harrisburg, this twenty fifth day of October, iii the year of our : I,OTd one thousand eight hundred and sixty nine, and the Independence of the United States the ninety-fourth. . John \V. Geary. By the' Governor. y. Jokdan, Secretary of the Commonwealth, The • Governor has set an example, which ether Governors might wisely follow, in adopt ing the President’s proclamation, which is comprehensive and well-written. There is scarcely a sentence in the principal paragraph that does not furnish a text for a sermon or an editorial for the day. The themes for Thanks giving Day have expanded with the expansion of our country. There is more to be thankful for, and there are more people to be thankful, every year that this nation exists. Indeed the bounties of Providence to this country grow faster than its population. Its' health, wealth and prosperity,-which are all gifts of Provi dence, increase in a greater ratio than do those of all other countries. But it is to be feared that the feeling of religious gratitude does not grow at the same rate. Strictly good and unworldly people are con x stantly thanking the Divine Being for the blessings bestowed upon them, and for them there is no need of a Presidential Proclamation to obtain an outward show of the feeling. But for the vast, worldly, mercenary, thoughtless, conceited and selfish mass of the people, it is ■ very well to be reminded, at least once a year, by the President or Governor, or both, that the happiness, healthfulness, peace and prosperity they enjoy, are not their own work, but are gifts from Heaven,' for which they should unitedly return tliankß. It will; not do, however, to be too boastful in the thanks that are to be offered to-morrow. The Pharisee who, in his prayers in the tem , pie, said, li God, I thank thee that I am nbtas . oilier, men,” was thought less worthy than the bumble.pubiican, who simply prayed for mercy. And tlie preachers and editors, in their thanks giving efiorts, should ; all try to impress the .moral of the parable upon their hearers and readers. Outside of church, before and after ibe loimal duties.of the service, the real work . of, thanksgiving-should he done by /those who have been prosperous above afiy others. Tlie less , prosperous deserve to share their blessings.; and if jiuy one. day is better than .another for bestow ing charity, it is Thanksgiving Day. So, let .every .one give of his means to-morrow,'to those whom he knows -.to be deserving and needy. A barrel .of flour, a ton of coal, a pair of blankets,,a good turkey, or a dollar or two in cash, and all, symbolical, and there fore appropriate Thanksgiving presents. The demands upon us are not half so great as they were a few years ago, when the country was suffering from war, and there were sick and wortfluted soldiers in hospitals, and poverty stricken wives and children of dead or suffering soldiers everywhere. The sacrifices made by these soldiers brought to the coatitry the peace under which the plenty we are now .enjoying has been obtained. We are better able to give than/we were in the war time, arid liberie are., happily, not so many with \ elaiona upon hr. But there is not one family, even moderate means, that cannot find some worthy object ©f charity who ought to be thought of and made happy at least on Thanksgiving Day, - -This is onr sermon for the occasion, and in trying to impress it on the miruls of the read ers of the Bulletin, we trust they may all have i«»'!wed cause lor gratitude to Provi dence when another Thanksgiving Day comes around, 3 'E. GOWtd>, No. 923 Ohoatnut Btroot. ■ ■ tub Bl)MOKE» *> ■ ' We published yesterday a special despatch from; St, Petersburg to the New York Times, of a very extraordinary and startling character. It declared that the Russian Govemtnerit had submitted to Fi ance a project fir a treaty of al liance between Russia, Austria and FrßacC, to endure for three years, for offensive and de fensive purposes, each party to maintain a standing army. It is very possible that this story is not true; leports of a similar character concerning other nations have been circulated recently, and as quickly denied. The Times, however, inclines to accept it as correct, and as the foimation of such au alliance is by no means impiobable, we will consider the state ment to be true until we have information to the contrary. The formal announce ment of a league of this kind between the powers named, will cause profound agitation throughout Europe. Its objects "cau only be of an offensive character, and its result may possibly be a war in which all the great nations of the continent will be involved. Hatred of Prussia is the inspiration of the, scheme; thirst for revenge and anxiety to check the growing influence of Prussia will furnish the motives for the devel opment of the designs of the allies. Austria still smarts under the humiliation heaped upon her by Pmssia in the late war; a&d although we can see that her defeat at that time has been of use to her, in compelling her Emperor to liberalize his government so that it now has v a stronger hold upon the people than it ever had, she still looks anxiously for an op portunity to retrieve her lost position as one of the most powerful nations of Europe. In her hatred of Prussia she has the sympathy of Nagoleon. who, despite his pacific speech of yesterday, is jealous of Prussian influence, and of the power which checks his schemes for enlarging his boundaries., It has been believed, for a long time, that a secret understanding existed between France and Austria, upon the Prussian question. French influence has been 'clearly- visible in many of the movements made by the Austrian government, as for in stance in the abortive scheme, proposed some time ago, for the formation of a South German Confederation, with Austria at its head. But these two nations alone dared not assume the responsibility of breaking the peace of Europe, while the possible attitude of any other one of the great powers remained a subject of conjec ture. Russia, indeed, held the balance, and in the event of conflict could have turned the 6cale either one way or the other, as would have suited her purposes. But with Russia pledged to support the other malcontents, Aus tria and France will be able to assume a very threatening altitude, and to excite gravest fears for the safety of whatever power they chsose to select for their antagonist. .What special in ducement was held out to Russia by the other parties to this league, can only be conjectured remotely. Liberty to follow his own sweet will in Turkey, has long been coveted by the Russian Emperor, and it may be that France and Austria have promised a policy of non-in terference with Russian operations in this di rection, as the reward for Russian support in other quarters. This would be a gross viola tion of French pledges to defend the Sultan from aggression, but it is not probable that Napoleon would hesitate to break faith with Turkey, if he could gain substantial advan tage by such perfidy. The possible attitude of England in the presence of such a complication is very uncer tain. Tli . 1 British government, at present, is , allied with France in its protectorate of Turkey; and it would be likely to regard with indigna tion any violation on the part of the Emperor of his promise to preserve the balance of power by keeping the Sultan upon his feet. This feeling would be intensified by the fact that this treachery was bom of a desire to inflict injury upon Prussia, a nation with which England is united by ties of kindred, of Protestant faith, and of liberal sympathies. It is a matter of doubt, however, whether even such provocation would induce any British government to inter fere actively, if a war should result. The policy of England for a .long time past has been peaceful; arid the disposition to avoid expensive foreign coiuplications"has become stronger than ever since the voice of the people lias been heard more distinctly in public affairs. Of such little importance, in consequence, has English opinion of continental polities come to he regarded, that it is likely her sentiments upon this subject have not even been con sidered. The attitude ofltaly will probably be worthy of more important consideration. Although the French Imperial family is closely allied to that of the Italian king, the people of ltaly, their ministers, and even the heir apparent to the throne, incline rather to a Prussian than a French alliance. Italy will never be satisfied until she includes Home and the papal domin ions in her domain. France alone prevents the consummation of her wish; and French' interference upon inore than one occasion when Rome might have been absorbed byTtaly, lias excited a feeling of intense bitterness against France, jf Prussia is placed upon the defen sive by this alliance, she will be quick to tempt Raly with a premise of the coveted Imperial city, and Italy will he likely to yield her support to Prussia for the sake of the prize. Even then, Prussia, with all her own great strength and the assistance of her ally, will light to a disadvantage with such powerful adversaries; and a wav may end most disastrously for her. We sincerely hope that such a conflict will never be beaun. Wliatr river the ultimate consequences to the relative positons of the nations that participate in it, it will he attended by frightful loss of life, awful suilering, devastation and misery, for which there will be no reasonable gain to the people of any country. Where great principles are at stake war is excusable; in this instance it would be wicked and atrocious, for at the best it can only he a contest between jealous rulers for .power, influence, revenge rind the un profitable honor of holding a commanding po sition in Europe. Tin; roou women. With all the enlightenment of this latter end of the Nineteenth Century; with all the eman cipation that has been wrought from the ancient fetters of ignorance and prejudice, the women still have a hard time of it in proving their right to live as decent and respectable equals of the other half of creation. At what ever point they seek to break through the old barriers that hem them in, they are met bjr some doughty old knight, armed cap-a-pie in the rusty cumbersome aririor of past traditions, ready to drive them back into the cooped-up pen in which they have suffered so much in all i he pj&t generations. When the poor wome - ——•■-■- ■. ...~ .. .I,—-nn I ' ■' 11 in. ■'■vt! 11' ■'l ■ ■ i wi'ii'w. ■'» ■■ ' i ■»»»*— . ... ~—i ■■ ■ '•• , ;■ j; -;'f ■,?;) vj’ j -4 .. j if : i ,7 v 'i'•.'f'X | -f,-.; v. .. f ; v l ';. *THB DAILYEYEMG BULDETIffriPH* I 'ADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMI resolved, that they would, be doctors,: and came forward, quietly and modestly,* to peer into the mysteries, of medicine, the brave men of the lancet,.the mortar and pestle and pill-box, rallied bravely to the defence of their sacred rights, and “charged with all their chlvalryf’ upon interlopers. And now, when the poor women who slave in our public schools for poorer pay than we give to our cooks, or coachmen,—if we happen to own such.luxuries,—put in a piteous, plea for a little bettor pay, champions of the male sex are not wanting to break a lance in defence of those good old traditions by which man held woman as , - . I ‘Something better than his dog, a little dearer than nis horse.” In this gallant raid upon the half-starved women of our public schools, at the Board of School Controllers, yesterday, we are glad to say, hilt three men were found willing to deny to them a chance for a scanty living. By a vote of 19 to 3, the report of the Special" Commit tee, proposing an increase.of about twenty-five per cent, in the salaries of the public school teachers, was adopted. Mr. President Stein metz opposed the increase. Here is bis crush ing argument: . / “So with the lady teachers. They wore un dergoing an apprenticeship, and should re ceive pay accordingly. He' believed that the young ladies were abundantly supplied with spending money, He knew men who paid hut five dollars a week for board. Certainly the woman should get it for three dollars and a half. Women nowhere were paid as much as men. A woman can perform for herself, in reference to her clothing, • what a man could not do ; and, generally speaking, the -respon sibility of a family, where there bo a family, rests upon the man. ,So it is that Vie male should receive more than the female. The women in the schools of onr city are better paid than are tlio employees of any private or public establish ment. Ho did not believe in that' sentimental ism which hold that, these women teachers were not amply paid. Slany of these teachers were, in reality, children apprentices, and the pay they received per week was better than they could get in any store.” Fortunately for these extravagantly-paid young women, with their abundant spending money, their cheap board, (President Stein metz actually knows men who pay but five dollars a week for hoard; we know some, down in Bedford street, who only pay seventy five cents a w.eek), their light and pleas ant work, there was but one Steinmctz, but one g,Elkin, hut one Green, among the Controllers, and we do not believe there will be even that many.in Councils when the question of appro priation comes up. -Mr. Steinmetz’s speech, yesterday, takes care of itself so completely that it is not worth while to answer it; but we do wish that that gentleman would, just for one week, take board somewhere at five dol lars a week—or three-and-a-half, if he prefers it—and then take a class of restless children in one of our public schools, for six hours a day, with two hours extra, at his five-dollar hoard ing hoßse; preparing for the next day’s work. Meanwhile somebody else might be made President of the Board of Controllers of the Public Schools; Mr. Elkin, for instance, or Mr. Green. The Controllers of the Public Schools made an admirably sensible report, yesterday, on the salary question; hut we object to such a bad example being set for the children in the pub lic schools as is found in the vicious habit of putting adverbs between the preposition to, and the verb in the infinitive. “To carefully review at home,” and “to carefully investigate the subject,” are specimens of an ugly trick of bad writing, which do not look well in the official communications of an erudite body like our Board of Controllers of Public 'Schools.

Errolnr Bulletin. 1 Washington, Nov. 17.—Secretary Eobeson and Admiral Porter are to visit the Navy Yard this afternoon, to inspect the various machine shops and the war vessels now fitting out for sea. - Btmt9 of T»Mnaeaewr TU* Day at tb« Bulletin omee. 1 A.M.

' The New York Times says: The work of completing the Spanish' flo tilla,now lying at the Delamater Iron Works, is proceeding rapidly, and there is every prd3- peet of the vessels’ Completion by the first week in December. Moored in tiers, side by side, in the Delamater basin, the little craft present a busy scene. On their decks, joiners and ship carpentens are engaged in putting finishing touches to the houses, companion ways and rails; sail-makers and rig gers arc bending sails, rattling down and palntiDg rigging, and setting up shrouds and backstays; below: aud in the cuisine, cabinet-makers, upholsterers and tin smiths devote themselves to rendering the , future homes of the nautical Dons as comfort able as possible. Still all this work and trouble may be of little service to Spain, inasmuch as the United States Authorities are fully deter mined, for aught any one yet knows to the contrary, to hold the craft perpetually. The little armed steamer Maria, from the Navy Yard, watches faithfully over them while thoy are being worked upon. When ready for sea there is every probability that the authorities will remove the fleet to the Brooklyn Navy Y ard. A startling rumor is abroad, to the effect that the vessels are to be burned and scuttled by the enemies of Spain, while iying at their dockß on the Hudson. There is good reason to believe that the friends of Cuba and Peru: have long regarded them with anxiety. Fear ing that our Government may bo prevailed upon to release the craft, they will probably strike a desperate blow at them while yet there Is time to do it. Dark Novem ber nights, when the storm-clouds hide the moon and stars, it will be very easy for, some expert Hudson river pirate, in the pay of these enemies of Spain, to creep Subtly along shore, enter the basin in Ins ght shallop, daub the sides of the iirst two or three vessels in the tier with benzine, apply the torch, and in a few minutes the whole •would be ablaze. Tney are built of wood, moored sldo by side, aud should afresh breeze be blowing, a seaman knows at which end of the tier to start tho fire so that it will burn rapidly and well. In such an event the fleet .would be destroyed long before assistance could arrive, and if any vessels were saved from the devour ing element, it would only be by scuttling and sinking them,which would attain the object of the Incendiaries just as well as the destruction by fire. The rumor may be groundless, but it is exceedingly probable. .A strong guard of watchmen will be immediately placed on board tbe vessels, who will watch at night carefully, and suffer none to approach them. The BpatiisU transport Euterpe, which re turned from Havana a few days ago, is also at the Delamater Iron Works, undergoing re pairs FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Wednesday, Nov. 17.—The local money narks t con tinues to oxhiblt the anomalous features which have characterized it for some wcoks past. On “oaU" money Is abundant and easy of access whether on government or Btock collaterals, but time contracts are very, unpopular among lenders, and the class of mercantile borrowers, who are ih strong force from day to day, find it difficult to force their paper into circulation even at the usurious rates now current. This extreme caution of discounters lcokt very like distrust, but it probably proceeds less from a want of confidence In business credits than of the future of the market. Lenders are, we surmise, a little over anxloua to hold theif“balances well in hand for any emergency in the future. Oall loans are easy at 6 per cent., but discounts are nominal, and it seems usoleßS to quote. Gold continues quiet but firm. Opening premiums, IZJH ; at noon 127.

[prcm the New Orleans Picaynne, Sot. 12. J The public were apprised, through the Picayune, of the arrest, last Sunday morning, on hoard Of the steamer Great Republic, of the notorious Colonel J. H. Alexander, Who has been obtaining largo sums of money in various places by palming himself off as a gov ernment agent, who it Is believed is really possessed of many important secrets of pow erful rings formed for the purpose of defraud ing the United States revenue. Wo have just .learned that he escaped last night from the' custody of a Deputy United States Marshal. Itseems that previous to Alexander’s arrival in the .'city Mr. Max Dinkenspell made an affidavit before United States Commissioner War Ten charging him with receiving from him ,as a compromise $5OO for an alleged vio lation of the revenue lawß. A warrant for his arrest was at once Issued and placed in the hands of Deputy Marshal W. F. Loan, who madetlie arrest as soon as the Great Re-„ public landed, which was at five o’clock Sun day morning. . The prisoner was carried before the Com missioner on Monday for a hearing, and granted until Thursday- to 2nd bonds—to be, however, under the charge of the Deputy Marshal, who put up with his prisoner attho Gity Hotel. On Sunday afternoon, it seems, Alexander, while enjoying the freedom of the hotel,was arrested by special Officer Cunning ham, of the Metropolitan Police, on a tele gram from Jackson, Miss., but .Deputy Mar shal Loan effected his release. While Deputy Doan and Superintendent Cain were con versing on the subject Alexander slipped awav, but was rearrested on Baronne street, in about an hour, by Doan, who retained him ip custody uniil ten minutes to eight o’clock last evening, when he again escaped and has not since been found. Deputy Marshal Doan states that the pri soner had been in low spirits, weeping and evincing the most poignant grief, and they entered their room together preparatory to taking a walk. While the officer was chang ing his apparel Alexander mode some excuse to go out a moment, and, leaving the room, incontinently absconded. About five minutes after the prisoner’s de parture,a servant carried up to Loan two letters, one addressed to Alexander and one to him self ; the latter bad been picked up in tho ball, and upon the envelope were a few lines say ing that his (Alexander’s) body would bb found in the Mississippi river, at the foot of Canal street, and the letter itself contained in structions as to the disposition of his body and effects, which were to be sent to his residence on Fifth avenue, New York, where ho is said to have lived in elegant stylo. Alexander is about forty-five years of age, five feet eight inches high, has a ruddy com plexion, head partly bald, black liair, heavy black moustache, and a Jewish cast of counte nance., He is a German, speaks broken Eng lish, and has a fine address. It is believed those parties who were largely interested in defrauding the revenue, and who fear damag ing disclosures, have spirited the prisoner on. He stated to the Marshal that he was here on a $62,000 transaction. One of his favorite dodges was to pass himself off as a brother-in law of Vice President Colfax. FRANCE. The Plot to Assassinate the Emperor The Paris correspondent of the New York Times savs: The cable will have probably transmitted the rumor of the discovery of a plot against the Emperor’s life. When the police get hold of anything that can be magnified into the semblance of a conspiracy, you may be sure that it loses nothing in the carriage, even though the distance be only from Compiegn e to Paris. As the first account of- the affair is that which has, no doubt, reached yau, let me redace it to its proper proportions by giving you the facts. In the first place the is not the slightest evidence that there was any 1 thing|Oia plot in question, and I think it wil be even difficult to make Out that there was any design on the part of the individual ar rested to barm his Majesty at all. The facts are simply these: About nine o’clock in the evening a Zouave who was stationed as a sen try on the terrace of the gardens, detected a man stealing toward the palace under cover of the.trees. lie challenged him,and finding that he could not give the password, arrested him. being questioned, he' stated that his name was Philippe, and that he had come from Com piegne to kill theJEmperor. He allowed him self to be passively conducted to the Police Station, and, on being examined by the In spector his replies were found to he so inco herent that lie was at once set down as insane. This impression was still farther confirmed by the fact that he bad neither; arms nor papers of any kind on his person. On Monday he was subjected to another interroga tory by M. Nez, the Procure!® Impe rial, and M. Scotel, a Judge d’lnstruction. Nothing has transpired regarding the result of this second examination, and the man still continues in prison. It is hardly to be sup posed, from what I have stated to you, that anything can be made out of the affair to damage the political opponents of the Govern ment. Even the “ irreconcilables ” would not be likely to resort to such clumsy means to ac complish their ends. THE INDIAN PEACE COMMISSION. Tfcelr Beport. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: The Indian Peace Commission meet here to morrow to hear the report of Messrs. Welch, Brunet and Bishop, a sub-committee sent out to examine into the condition of the Indians. George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, and Felix B. Brunet, of Pittsburgh, two members of the Commission, arrived this evening; tho others are expected in tho morning. The report of the sub-committee, after being approved by the other members of the Commission, will be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior and by him embodied in his report to Congress. The report is quite lengthy, and goes into details not-only of the present condition of the Indians, hut of their past history. Among the recommendations made is one that the Witcliitas, a friendly tribe, be assigned a" reservation of their own. It appears that they have been among the most illy used of the Indian tribes, both by whites and|tlie Indians, and according to the terms of a recent treaty all their lands have, been given away ' to other tribes, leavfhg the Witcbitas homeless. The committee were among the Indians thirty six days after they left railroad communication, and were treated with great consideration by the military authorities. "'Messrs. George H. Stuart and Brunet called upon the President this evening. It is under stood that he cordialty approves of what has been done by the Commission, and is anxious to have their plans carried out. It may be stated here that there is no foundation for the stories which have been circulated relative to differences between the Commissioner of In dian Affairs and the Peace Commission. They have worked together in entire harmony from the beginning. ORNAMENTAL IRON WORKS. WIRE WORK.

"0 E NTRA L RAILROAD OF lOWA. SEVEN PER CENT. GOLD FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, Free of Government Tax, At 95 and Accrued Interest; This riiad runs through the richest and most thickly settled portion of this magnificent State, and is the only link, wanting to connect St. Bonis and St. Paul by , a direct line, 147 miles shorter than any .other. It runs through tho great coal fields of Southern lowa to the North where coal is up dispensablo and must he carried. It mm from the great lumber regions of the North, through a district of country which is destitute of this prime necessity. . ‘ It does not bun through a wilderness, where it would wait for years for a population to give it business, but through a tier of, coun ties which are now producing about twenty million bushels of grain, most of which; is freight for railroads. Forty-five miles are just finished, and the Superintendent reports that on the portion open for business the net earnings are more than the interest liabilities. Sixty miles more are graded, and a million and a . half, of dollars have already'been ex pended on the work. The mortgage is made to the Farmers’ Boan and Trust t'o., and bonds can be issued only at the rate of $16,000 per mile, or only half the amount upon some other roads. Special se curity is provided for the principal and for the payment of interest. First mortgages upon most railroads are the very safest investments, and so far as we can learn, there is not a single completed line in the Northwest which is not only paying its interest, but a good dividend upon its stock. The immense grain and other freights to be carried away, and the domestic supplies to be brought in, insure a profitable business. First Mortgage. Bonds for so small an amount upon a road running through such a rich and already well-settled part of lowa, can well be recommended as a perfectly safe as well as very profitable investment. At tha present rate they pay about ten per cent, on jhe investment. Over $400,000 have already been taken by the Company’s officers and others interested in the enterprise.
