Juvenile Patriotism.

Robert Parsley, a student in the high
school in Chadron, Nebraska, whose
mother is a SpanIard, incurred the
wrath of the patriotic lads of the school
few days ago by saying, "if the Spani-
ards really did blow up the Maine, that
he was glad of it." The remark SO
incenssd the boys that they proceeded
at once TO give him severe beating,
after whicn they dragged him with a
hondkershief about his neck to post
near by, and had he not been rescued
by some of the older boys he would
have experienced suspension sof
breath, for time at least.

The Site Undetermipsd.

There is little room for doubt, SAYS
the Black Hills Mining Review, that the
dead " ood and Delaware smelter will be
rebuilt Immediately, but just where the
site will be is still speculative. One
thing is reasonably certain, says that
paper, that it will not rebuild upon the
old foundation In the first place the
area upon which the Stag ia dumped is
about consumed. and to build a large
smelter, of greater capacity than the
first. must be considered by the princi-
pals as impractical. However. the CON-
munity will not be held long in sus-
penss, as Or. Carpenters purpose is to
expedite matters as rapidly as possi-
bic.

At no time in the history of this
country have the newspapers been more
eagerly sought, or more generally read.
1t is absolutely astonishing to contem-
plate the measure Of knowledge acquired
by the masses concerning the real status
of the war situation. Nearly every man
you meet upon the street is familiar
with it, and 1t is openly claimed that
there are a few men in this city that
have even better understanding OF it
than has Mckinley.

Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., son of Consul Gen

ten days visit with his father I'm Hsv-

with Spain is imminent, notwithstand-

to its uttermost limit to prevent it. The
Maine disaster and the attitude of the
United States government upon the
beligerency question, he claims, will be
the chief incentive.

In the recent purchase of the two
powerful war vessels built for the
Brazilian government, Uncle Sam sue
ceeded in making very decided scoop
on the Spaniards, heading off their
pending negotiations by putting up the
spot cash. Talk is all very we'll in its
place, but it takes cash to buy war ships
in these exciting and tickish times.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks.

New York, July 27.-Nearly all the
strength and activity in today's stock
market We're confined to the first hour $
trading. At the opening there was a
rush to buy as a result of orders placed
with the commission houses on the an
nouncement that Spain had addressed
the United States government with a
request for peace. This early demand
WAS fed quite freely by realizing sales,
which held prices back to within Il
small fraction above last night ana
even dragged them below last night
level on active profit taking.
But these offers to realize We're quite
confidently and aggressiVely absorbed
and the demand was still unsatisfied.
The market was apparently embarked
on substantial upward movement
when Sugar began TO pause after an
advance of nearly two points which re-
suited in dislodging heavy covering or
ders. Very large blocks of the stock,
many of them of 1000 shares and up
wards. We're taken on the advance.
After touching 141, however, support
seemed to be withdrawn and a steady
stream was poured upon the market for
the rest of the day. Several times the
prices steadied and rallied slightly,
only to make a renewed downward
plunge, each successive loss dislodg-
ing heavy stop loss orders. The price
dropped over four points from the TOP
and rallied only feebly at the close.
The decline in the general market WAS
desult0ry and was not accompanied by
| heavy offerings.

| manned unchanged. Railroad bonds
