This ended the exercises at the court

They Don't Like the Defeat of Cap
tain Hope .a..
The announcement in yesterdays
Ev ening Telegram that Captain Hope,
OF the Peninsula Guards. had failed to
secure the appointment of major of the
Fourth regiment was read with bitter
disappointment by the people of this
city. The election OF Captain Norvall,
of Norfolk. is looked upon as the re
suit of a piece of political tricllery and
1t will take arguments stronger than
any man who had any part in the mat
ter Is able to make to dspel that opin-
ion.
Not only has Norfolk sobblcd up the
hons share OF the honors since the
troops We're summoned to Richmond,
but she has succeeded III doing sc. it
Is charged, at the expense of honest
consideration of other towns. Captain
Hope. being the senior captain of the
Fourth was, 1t is alleged. entitled to
the honor conferred upon Captain Nor
vail. 1t was expected that the govern
or would take interest enough in the
election to see that there was fair play,
but It is believed here that he made no
effort in that direction.

NEW YORK, May 26The movement
of prices worthy OF particular note in
today's stock market was confined to a
few special stocks, as was also n large
part Of the activity in the trading.
The majority of the list was somewhat
dull and neglected. This was i'll part
due to the contradictory movement of
the few stocks that showed pronounced
activity and also to some Scepticism
over the quoted present of the Spanish
fleet in the harbor of Santiago. and Is
it's consequent sealing UP. There We're.

The mainstay of the market was
Rock Island, which rose at one time
9 1-2 points. Late profits taking in this
stock had no small part i'll the final
reaction in the market. Its early rise
was supplemented by buying for Lon
don account of the International stocks
and by commission house buying of the

In that excellent series OF Short Histories of

mund GOOSE is editing. which is being pub

and scholarly volume ON Italian Literature 10
contributed by DIR. Richard Garnett. tho biog.
rapher Of Emerson and Carlyle. and one OF the
most eminent of the men VI letters connected
with the British Museum. Attempting to deal
with italian literature as a whole, rather than
with writers as individuals, DIR. Gsrnett, within
the narrow limits Of some 400 pages, succeeds
in putting before the reader a clear and inter
esting biography, so to speak, of his subject,
written In narrative form. and exhibiting step
by step the growth Of Italian literature from
the thirteenth century TO the present day.
