A PRECOClOUS YOUNGSTER
SYSTEMATICALLY RoBS THE MAIL
Applicants for Passports the Losers-ElIett's Futile Visit to Secretary Herbert.
 That Reported Split.

Washington, June 2S.--A messenger in the state department has been detected robbing the mails directed to the pass port bureau, and although the investi- gation is still being conducted secretly enough has leaked out to prove a case of precocious rascality which affects hun dreds of persons in various parts of the country. Just at this time of the year when so many people are going abroad the passport bureau does a thriving busi- ness in furnishing documentary evidence of nationality, principally to persons born abroad who have secured their American citizenship through our naturalization pIiocess. Applications for passports must be accompanied by S1, and the Knowledge of the fact has led to a sys- tematic robbery of incoming letters by a 15-year-old boy named Kirk McMur- tey, employed in the state department to distribute mail. This youth, 1t appears, has not only secured $400 or $500 within the past few weeks but to cover up his thefts has destroyed all the applica- tions that came into his hands, together with their inclosures, including natural ization papers so priceless to adopted citizens.

WARRIOR GUARDS WIN THE GOLDEN CUP
With the Gulf City Guards Second Camp in Good Order -Redistricting Takes Place Today Sunday May See
 the Breaking of Camp.

Mobile, June 2S.-(Special Staff Corre- spondence. )-Today was governors day at Camp Clark and it will certainly go down as a memorable one in the his tory of Alabama state troops. No such magnificent programme has ever before been carried out. A stand had been built at a central point on the. drill grounds for the benefit of the governor, his staff and the ladies of the party, and the troops marched by in regimental batal- lions in review, the colors flying and the bands playing. The 2000 young soldiers. composed of the flower of Alabama 8 young manhood. presented a spectacle of unequalled brilliancy and never to be forgotten by the 5000 spectators.
 Among the distinguished gentlemen who stood on the platform with the gov crnor were Congressman Dick Clark, State Senator McRea, Col w. B. Jones, Hon. A. A. Wiley and others, besides the ladies and uniformed staff
 Just before the review the competitive drill for the golden cup, offered as prize for the best drilled company in the state corps by the citizens of Mobile, was held and the gallant Warrior Guards. Second regiment, of Tuskaloosa. under commond L. Inspector-General Peyton Bibb, Lieuten- ant Smith and Lieutenant Charles Led better acted as judges.
 The Gulf City Guards won second hon- ors.
 The camp near the close has become much better organized, the officers in command having reduced everything connected with it to system, and 1t IS essentially camp of instruction.
 Lieutenant Sam Jones, United States army. detailed with the Alabama state troops, has endeared himself to the Ala bama soldiery by his good fellowship and soldierly qualities and has covered him self with glory.
 The rediStrlcting of the troops on the plan published in the Age-Herald some time ago will probably be gone into to- morrow by the officers No radical changes are expected. The Second regi> ment headquarters will not be removed from Birmingham.
 Col Louis " Clark transferred the command of the Second regiment today to Lieutenant- Colonel Foster and went over to Selma on a business trip
 Many hundreds of beautiful Mobile girls are out at the camp this evening and dozen or more receptions are being held. The camp will break on Sunday morning. as the appropriation is almost exhausted. ALEX.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE BradStreet and Dun Give an En- couraging Report. VERY PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
  Iron, SieeI, Wool, Tgat, Pork and Lard on
 js e Rise
FLOUR, CORPS ATS, coffEEAND COTTON
Take TuI x x the Opposite Direction-In- crease $ nk olearinEs With Mark ed-- .rease in Failures Sum-
 mer Trade Holding Up.

New York, June 2S.-Bradstroet's to- morrow, June 20, will say; Dominating business conditions of the week are con tinued large demand and further in- creases in prices for iron and steel, which have surprised even the trade The jump in rail prices and scarcity of and higher valuations for nails have tended to produce temporary scarcity
 With the further advances in prices of iron and steel should be coupled the gain of l cent per pound for wool which apparently began its journey to a higher level about fortnight ago. Better quo tstions have also been made for cheaper grade woolen goods, 2ls cents per yard fol prints, Bessemer pig, billets wheat, pork, lard hogs, shoes and copper while declines in prices are recorded for flour, corn, oats, coffee, coston, naval stores and cattle. Sugar. coal and lumber are prac- tically unchanged.
 The total bank clearlngs, $1, OH, ,000, ,000, while less for all cities than a week ago by 6.5 per cent, are 32 per cent larger than in the last week of June 1894, 6 per cent larger than in that week in 1893, a month after the panic had gotten fully under way, but per cent smaller than in the corresponding week in 1892
 Business failures in the United States for six months, as reported to Brad streets, show a marked falling off in the second quarter of the past six months, as was expected but not such a decline relatively as the second quarter of 1894, which resulted in a total for six months of 6597 or l per cent more than last year; 6 per cent more than in 1893, and 3 per cent more than in the first half of 1891, after the Barring crash But the total liabilities have shrunk more than $3,000,- 900 from last year and more than one half within two years, pointing to the eX- cess of the number of failures being due rather to continued effects from the re- cent business disturbance on smaller en- terprises than to new and unfavorable conditions.
 At New York there is nearly the usual volume of midsummer trade in staple goods At Philadelphia the improvement of demand for staples and for iron and steel as well as at Pittsburg, is again conspicuous. There is relatively less gain at Buffalo, but at Baltimore the outlook for fall business is regarded as excel lent. This savers of a general revival of business at the south, but the mer- chants of most of the leading cities in that region report that the demand con tinues very moderate and collections are slow.
 Cotton and fruit crops in the south At lantic states promise well and the busi- ness outlook is reported encouraging In- cessant rains in Texas have hurt the crops. Increased shipments by Calves ton jobbers are reported, due rather more to the freight war than increasing de- mand.

A Peremptory Demand to Be Made.

Constantinople, June 2S.-The first dragomans of the British, French and Russian embassies had a long confer ence on June 26 with Tukhan Pasha, minister of foreign affairs. The foreign representatives insisted that the porte should indicate what particular points in the proposals in regard to the admin istration of affairs in Armenia the Turk ish government desired to have dis cussed. Tukhan Pasha was very dila- tory in replying, and the answer he final ly made was equivocal and altogether un- satisfactory. Now it is expected that the powers will present a note to the porte asking for specific reply within fixed ifd

Jones is a negro, and it is alleged that he ruined his daugh- ter and killed her when she threatened to expose him. The girl was cut all fo pieces.

It is expected the Atlanta will relieve the Raleigh of the duty of trying to prevent illegal expeditions in aid of the Cuban insurgents, as it is deemed that one war vessel, in addition to the revenue cutters now engaged in patrol work, will be sutf- cient. The Raleigh will probably come north soon for minor overhauling. after which Captain Miller will report to Ad- miral Rnnce

San Francisco, June 28.-The fire which started at o'clock last night destroyed four blocks in the heart of the manu- featuring district of the city, involving a loss of $1, ,500. 900 in property and sacri- ficing one life. 1t ragged unchecked for over four hours feeding on a succession of wooden buildings, and might have been beyond control for many hours long CT but for lucky change in the wind
 The burned area is bounded by Town send, Bryant, Third and Fifth streets. The flames made occasional invasions outside these limits, but only to the ex- tent of a few houses.
 Miss Gilroy was burned to death. This was the only fatality reported. She was attempting to save some belongings and was covered with burning oil.
 The people who lived in this district inhabited wooden houses scattered among the manufacturing plants. They are mostly of the poorer classes. They worked heroically to save their house. hold goods, but were successful in only a few instances.
 During the progress of the fire steam boiler exploded in a French laundry. The force of the explosion sent about a ton of the boiler flying through the build ing. A piece lodged in Shirley's hotel So great was the shock that all the win dows not destroyed by heat were blown into the streets.
 There was a thrilling scene while the convent and parochial school at taohed to St. Roses church was in flames. A few minutes before the roof fell in a boy was seen at one of the upper win dows. A cry of horror went up from tho crowd, and the firemen yelled to the boy to jump. A blanket was held out, but just then the flames and smoke envel- oped the building. and the next moment the roof fell in with a crash. Every body thought the boy was lost, but he jumped into the blanket held by the firemen and escaped unhurt

Dun's Report.


 New York, June 2S.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 The half yearly report of failures next week will include about 6900, against 7O39 for the first half of last year. and liabilities of about $SS, 100000, against $10l .57S152 last year. But for the Cordage concern the aggregate would be nearly 23 per cent less, but including it the man. ufacturing liabilities will be about $40,- 0OO'oOO, against $41376102 last year and the trading $45, ,000 000 against $52 345.- 97S last year. while miscellaneous lia- bilities were only $2,700000 against S,S56,072 last year.
 Failures for the past week have been 25e in the United States, against 214 last year, and twenfy-two in Canada, against thirty-five last year.
 Business is better, although the crop reports affecting prospects in the near future are little less distinct Cotton has fallen 3-16c to 7c, in spite of reports of serious injury by rains in Texas and Louisiana.
 little buying by northern spinners surprises the market, for their takings have been more than enough for the years consumption, and British returns snow a great increase in exports of cotton goods. The labor troubles are passing with frequent advances in inc rate or wages paid. Iron still advances. Bessemer selling for S12.90 at Pfttsbury anu gray forge at Sl0.SO. A further ad- vance in structural forms is expected The western demands for steel rails at the advance of $2 per ton is quite good the rise in bar is -maintained and pIa te and sheet mills are crowded so that if ia difficult to place orders at current prices.
 The closing of its contract by the sym dicate raises the treasury reserve above $l0o,0O0,0G0, but the certainty that no more gold is to be imported by the bankers makes foreign exchange stronger, and if large part of the bonda taken abroad have been resold to this country, deliverable as soon as possible. as some believe, the heavy merchandise imports for June at New York, being 4Ss per cent larger than last year against exports about per cent smaller. will rem der exports of gold altogether probable. Money still comes hither from the west in amounts averaging about $250.000 daily. ard commercial loans are enlarging, par tieularly on iron and other manufacture ing paper. The volume of business re- ported by exchanges through the princi- pal clearing houses is for the past week 35S per cent larger than last year. a really surprising gain. and only 2 of 1 per cent less than in 1892, while the average for the month is 2S.S per cent larger than last year and Fl per cent less than in 1892. The return is highly encouraging in spite of the comparative magnitude of speculative operations.

That Reported wheelman's Split.

Washington, June 2S.-Secretary Pugh of the Washington Young Mems Chris tian association, says that the telegram from Bridgeport. Conn, to the effect that the Young Mems Christian association branches had decided to buck the League of American Wheelmen either misstated the attitude of the Bridgeport officials, or else they spoke most un- wisely.
 'Our association he said. "has con ducted it's races under the sanction of the League of American Wheelmen, and will probably continue to do so. There has been some talk of the Young Mems Christian association organizing an asso- ciation to control their own events, not with any antagonistic spirit between the League of American Wheelmen. but that organization may not, and sometimes does not, see things as they are viewed from our standpoint. Should the League of American Wheelmen arbitrarily or un- justly use it's authority over Young Mems Christian association events or wheelmen, the two might come into con flict, but that contingency is remote.
 We have 250000 members in the United States" said MT. Pugh, "and if all the bicycle riders in that membership with drew from other organizations with which they are now connected I imagine they would easily make a larger organi- zation by themselves than any existing"
