Day-WfII Read Articles of War.

Captain W. s. p. Mayo, Of Company b.
blues Battalion. will resign his command
tomorrow. When the battalion was ex-
an:ined physically yesterday morning
by Major Adair, of the United States
army. that officer recommended Captain
Mavo not TO exercise his prerogative and
go 10 Cuba contrary to the advice Of the
army physician. For eighteen months
past Captain Mayo has been under the
treatment Of Dr. Ross. and 1t was against
the latter's advice that he volunteered
his services upon the call OF the Presi-
dent. The verdict of Major Adair yes
:erday confirmed this advice OF Captain
Mayo's family physician. and In view Oh
the opinions of the doctors, which did
rot disagree, Captain Mayo determined
that discretion was. after all. the better
part OF valor.
ONLY ONE FAILS TO PASS.
Only one member OF Company A. Of the
Blues. failed to pass the examining ply
stefan yesterday morning. and Company
b passed to a man. 1t Is uncertain when
the companies win be mustered into the
Fourth Regiment. as Companies II and
NJ. respectively. both are still short
of the necessary quota. Each company
requires six men. 1t Is believed, now
ever. that these can be enlisted al any
time. and for the present the men are
completely satisfied with their present
quarters.

at the Armory last night for the purpose
of perfecting arrangements for the organi-
zation of a new company, which has been
undertaken by Mr. Charles Gasser, but
owing to some misunderstanding as TO the
admittance Of prospective members the
meeting was postponed untn Wednesday
night. The meeting will then be held in
Company DIS room, and all those desiring
to become members are invited to be pres
ent.
Nothing of special interest occurred
around the First Regimental Armory yes
terday, and the three companies quar-
tered there spent the day very quietly
Squads were detailed under lieutenants
and sergeants. and were drilled In the
streets adjacent to the Armory, and by
night were eager enough to seek quarters.
BLACKSBURG BAND MUSTERED IN.
After the Blacksburg Band had been
mustered into the United States service
at Camp Lee yesterday afternoon, they
returned to the Armory, and were given
nnarters. Captain Masurier provided
them with bed sacks, and they took sup
per with the company men. There are
twenty-four men in the band. and already
the musicians are great favorites.
The three companies, being b Ind NJ

sioux, commanding and NJ, of the Third.
under Captain Masurier, will leave their
present quarters tomorrow morning after
breakfast and march to Camp Lee, where
they will go under canvas.
TO READ ARTICLES OF WAR.
To-day will be marked by consider
able relaxation of duties. except during
the morning hours. After the morning
roll-call the Articles of War will be read
TO the men. and following breakfast an
inspection will be held at o'clock. After
that, however. the men will be practically
given their liberty until night
At o'clock this afternoon Rev. j. T.
Mastin, pastor OF Trinity Methodist
church. will conduct a service for the SOL
diers in the drill-hail. and the Blacks
burg Band will furnish the music. II was
decided that II would be better TO
hold the service at the Armory than at
the church, owing 10 the Inconvenience
which the men are naturally under, and
the decision will doubtless have the effect
of making the attendance quits large.

public law.
4 Ny friends, dare you risk anything
to the good business judgment Of this
country. You need have no fears that
any bill will be passed that does not
meet with the approval Of very large
per cent Of the business men, both east
and west, without regard to party.
When it comes to these questions
among business men, there is no such
thing as partisanship. The fact that
present conditions are SO subject to
evil, wrought by political agitation,
is sufficient to require the best possible
effort to avert other calamaties. IL may
be we'll to refer to a few of the provis-
ions of these several bills. First. No
one of them proposes to contract the
currency. The volume of currency
under each and every one of the pro-
posed measures will be fully equal at
all times, and largely in excess when
needed, to what we now have. Second.
No one of these bills provide for any
bank currency, except that which is re-
deemable, on demand, in gold, and its
parity abundantly secured. Third.
Each of all these schemes provide for
an elastic currency. so that when there
is special demand for money in the
west, it shall no longer be necessary to
send to New York and borrow it collat-
teral; but that it may spring into exist
ence, backed by local securities, to be
used during the existence of the de-
mand and then be retired. Under these
conditions it is hoped to make the rate
of interest in the west as low as it is in
the east. The business men of this
country will not jump at conclusions.
The business world is conservative.
And no man in business fails to recog-
nize that the country never prospered
except under conditions favorable to
the labOrer and the farmer. There
never was time my friends when the
people of Crawford county prospered
that the business men of the world did
not prosper. You never accumulated
except under conditions when labor
was able to find employment at good
wages. To go into details of the pro-
posed legislation would require moro
time than one evening would afford.
leave the question with you, hoping
that you will rise above prejudice, and
recognize that the men interested in
the movement of currency reform, are
interested in the same way that you
are, and what would prove harmful to
you would be ruinous to them.

The Saginaw smiled from Port de PAX,
Hayti, on November 3. and passed with
in 80 miles Of Cat island the next day.
Capt. Garvin said that when OF the
the island he encountered feet Of
~reckers, or sponge fishermen, who arc
constantly on the lookout for wrecks,
especially after such gale as swept
over the Bahamas during the first OF
the week. If the Teresa had been ashore
on the island at that time, every one
OF those daring fishermen would have
hocked around her, within few hours
after she grounded, and would not
have gone hunting about the ocean
with such prize SO near at hand.
Nassau, N. p, Nov. 10.-The steamer
ashore off Cat island, supposed to be
the abandoned cruiser Maria Teresa, is
now described as being disarmed war

signs of having been on fire and hav-
ing leaked slightly. She stranded in
