A PROCLAMATION.
It has pleased the Almighty Cod to
bring our nation in safety and honor
through another year. Tho works oi
religion and charity have everywhere
been manifest. Dim- country through
all its extent ha.s been ble?sed with
abundant harvests. Labor and tho
great industries of tho people havo
prospered beyond all precedents Our
commerce bus spread over tho world
Our power and influences in tho cans.1
of freedom and enlightenment have ex
tended over distant a jus and lands. The
lives of our cfll -ial representatives and
njany of our people in China have be in
nnirvelonsty preserved. Wo havo been
generally exempt from pestilence and
other groat calamities, and even th *
tragle visitation which overwhelmed
the city of (Jalveston made evident tb<>
sentiments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we arc on :
united people.
Now, therefore, T, William McKin
ley, President of the United States, do
hereby appoint and set apart Thurs
day, the !iftth of Novernb'-r next, to !>*
observed by all the people of the United
Slates, at home or abroad, as a day of
Thanksgiving and praiss tr> Him who
holds the nations in the hollow of His
hand.
I recommend that they gather in
their several places of worship and de
voutly give Him thanks for tho pros
perity wherewith lie ha^ endowed u-?,
for seed time and harvest, for the val
or, devotion and humanity of our ar
mies and navies and for all IPS bene
fits to us aa individual* and as a na
tioij^ ?nd that they humbly pray fo;
the contlntianeo of His divine favor,
for concord and amity with other na
tions, and for righteousness and peace
in all our ways.
in witness I have hereunto set. my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this

Lord, one thousand nine hundred, and

A Sober View.
Berlfn, l?y Cable.? More sober view.j
about ChinA now prevail here, owing,
doubtless, to the fact that Count Von
Bnlow is known to entertain reason
1
able ideas about Germany's tangibly
interests therein, and that his influ
ence, as Imperial Chancellor, upon tlio
impetuous Emperor, and ?specially in
foreign affairs, is deeidedly greater
than Prince Hohenloe's. It is now
generally believed here that the Chi
nese muddle will .slowly but surely
unravel itself and lead to a satisfac
tory iFStic without necessitating any
furtiier large amount of actual hos
tilities, or nn elaborate strategic eain
paiin. All the utterances o/ the s?mi
ofi'lclal 'prt'-s this week j*fiow tliis be
ifef Only the military party is dis
satisfied with this view. Douts aro
ft 111 entertained here though regard
ing the value of the credentials of I-l
Hung Chang and Prince Ching, aud
their ability to enforce the t?vns of
any agreement reached. The alleged
latest edicts a" Emperor Kwang Su
are also regarded here with suspicion
and even the possibility that Id Hung
Chang himself is their 'author or In
stigator, to ?facilitate the negotiator's
task, is considered.
Barbarities of Novlco.

matter very fully:
lion. D. J. Griffith. Superintendent
Stftto .J'enltentlary, Columbia. H. C.
Do.tr Sir: On tho 22d inui. you
Wl'Olo to this office as followu
"When the present board of <11 r?-v
tors entered upon tho discharge ci"
their duties, they Jouud unite a num.
her of convicts, hired out hy tholr
prodocoiaors In office, who had heen
convicted of nuirdi v. rapo. arson ami
manslaughter. Upon reading tuvtiop
fi(!5 (2729) of tli? revised statutes, 1
find that It la forbidden to hiro out
convicts eonviciod of 'any of tluvo
ofTvnftos. Tho present bonisl k? In
doubt, however, whether It la now itn
duty to recsll nurh of thtwo iirldonor*
who are etiil In confinement and keep
them within tho Jurisdiction of the
pimtentiary nutnoruies proper. or
whether the action of the previous
board Is final In tho matter. . nd bind
ing upoh\tho presont board. 1 there
fore write to auk tU.it you will kind
ly nl\e ine your offielal opinion upon
(his nuittvr, and advice mo what ao
t.lon the hoard should tako, if any, in
regard U> the tuine."
I beg to reply as follows:
Section SG&, criminal statutes 1b as
follows In part: "The board of direc
tor of the penitentlary are hereby
authorized and empowered to lease, or
hire out any convicts In the peniten
tiary, except convicts under scnteuco
for murder, rape nrson and num
tJuughter * " You will notice that
the use oi the words "authorized and
empowered" evidently Implies that
but for this provision tho board woute.
not have the authority and power to
lease convicts and that such authori
sation and ompjwoiing is limited ex
pressly hy the word "except pieced lug
t>e naming of certain clnssm not por^,
fflnittod to bo hired out. Ho that to my
mind It follows that no attempt on
the part or any preceding beard to
hire out theso convicts would or could
bo construed to bo a valid contract,
but. on the contrary, would bo con
strued ultra vires and of none effect.
Such being the case these convicts are
beyond U.o limits of the penitentiary
in violation of the law and it becomes
the duty of the pie-ent board to have
them return to the Avails of the prill
tent lary or property exclusively under
the control of the authorities of tho
penitentiary such.as the farms. It is
clou- that th^ action of tho previous
hoard is not final in the matter, nor
binding upon you.
Section <>T;i of tho "criminal s'atutos
directs "no convicts rfiall bo hired
out, as provided in the foregoing sec
tion, unless such convicts shall be and
remain under tho supervision of a
sworn officer and guards appointed by
the superintendent of the penitentiary:
? * * such offlcrr and guards to bo
responsible to the superintendent of
the pel)itentlary and to hold their of
flce >;ubje< t to removal by the sui>erin*
tendent; * ? * The superintendent and
<1 hectors of the penitentiary shall pro
j;crihe the rulus and regulation* to b?
observed by s.vld officer and guarus In
all <a6^s:" and art. xil. sec. 9 of the
constitution of 1895 reads c.b follows:
"Tho pcuiten..ary and the convicta
therein sentenced shall forever be un
der the supervision and control of
ficer^ employed by tho State, and In
?a'o any convicts are hired or farmed
out. as may be provided by Iuav, their
maintenance, support, medical attend
ance and discipline shall be under the
direction of officers detailed for tliw.;o
duties by tho authorities of the peni
tentiary." If tho requirements of the
ktatuto Jaw yipl tho constitution have
beeil t^a^ectoduy the present and pre
ceding boards then these convicts are
<lircctly under the control of ofileers
and guards appointed by .he superin
tendent, which oflicers and guarus are
r-ubject to your orders, ?and in my
opinion, it is your duty to order these
to return to'the penitontiary the con
victs who are serving sentences for
any of the crimes mentioned in section
506 of the criminal statutes.
While one convicted and duly sen
tenced by law is deprived of bis liber
ty to a certain extent, he still has cer
tain rightK under the law, and among
i tln-i-o rights is the one to be punished
| only as prescribed by the law in forco
at the time of his conviction and wn
j tome, and the hiring out of a pepon
sentenced to imprisonment in thfl pen
| ]j^*rTTffri -fpr tho crimes of "murder,
' rape, aison and manslaughter" Is a
violation of the law and (It may he)
in derogation of the rights of tho con
victs so hired out..
Very truly yours.
