the Administration. 1.-the troops
to which he belonged had been left
in or near this city, or If they had
been left near Mobile, this splendid
young soldier and gentleman would
be we'll and doing service for his
country to-day. But there were
no millionaire landowners in the
vicinity of Mobile or New Orleans
to be placated, coddied and obliged,
and so the Louisiana soldiers were
sent to a sand bank belonging to a
p1utocratic Republican and friend
OF the administration, there to
camp and march and drill III sand
and to drink rotten water. The
consequences are that typhoid
fever has broken out among these
troops, hundreds OF them are sick;
some of them seriously i'll, and
many have died. Among the latter
is this fair and heroic youth, who
was general favorite in this city,
and whose untimely. death is
mourned by this whole commu-
nifty.

Weekly Market Review.

Cotton was lifeless pretty much all the
week. After sundry moderate huctua-
tons the market closed with a rather
heavy undertone at a decline of about 4
points; August &c and October $3.50. The
bureau report on Monday gave the condi-
ton 91.2 which while a favorable report.

expected. II had little or no effect, as the
July condition is always high. Complaints
of damage generally come later, but so

pretty extensive short interest in the new
crop months, and a change for the worse
in crop adVices will cause a smart upturn
Wheat was quiet and for the most part
easy; but for some sympathetic support
derived from the strength in corn. it
would probably have declined materially
AS it is, September closed at 671ld67Ssc

between the demand for spot wheat, and
the arrivals Of the new crop. The latter
while increasing rapidly, have not vet
grown large enough to prevent the former
from further materially reducing existing
stocks. The crop condition was somewhat
lower than a month ago, but is stilI high
enough to offer reasonable assurance Of
the largest yield on record by a considera-
BILE surplus.
Corn was rather easy early, but develop-
ed decided firmness later and closed near

for a good advance in corn.

ened by reports Of yellow fever among the

The Finan ciaI Outlook as Seen From
wall street.
New York, July 1--we have had an
other week Of dullness in Wall street. At
the moment the elements Of a really act
i've market do not appear to exist. This
is one Of the months Of recreation; and all
though comparatively few are INDUCING
in European travel. the summer hotels
are full Of visitors, including an unusual
representation Of The financial class. The
operators in stocks appear to have reach
ed the conclusion that, after such an ex-
cited market as we have had during re-
cent months, a reaction Of quiet was to
be expected.
While the stock market is compare
lively stagnant and speculation Is lifeless,
there is no abatement Of its Intrinsic
strength. Stocks are wen held, and hold
ers appear confident in a higher range Of
prices when the summer absentees return
and the war has entered on the peace
phase
The latter condition may easily prove
TO be much nearer than is now generally
supposed The surrender of the Span
ish army at Santiago and It's transporta-
ton home by American vessels Is most
significant event. 1t is a humiliation TO
Spain which tells more plainly than
words can the weakness Of her hold on
Cuba and her despair Of military sue
cess.
il is to be- hoped that Spain is under no
Illusions as to the terms Of peace she must
finally accept at our hands. The United
States must absolutely occupy Cuba and

pie are prepared for a selfgovernment
that will be satisfactory to this country.

There was not much breakfast for the
boy after that. He gave the dog all he
had left of his breakfast and ordered
some extra meat for him besides. Mean
while the owner of the dog came upon the
scene, and learning facts from the
son of his old friend, consented to have
the animal returned where for SO long a
time he had enjoyed a comfortable home.

sAGACITY or A DOG.
Most striISingIy Displayed I'm Chick
amauGn Camp.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A wonderful story is told Of the sagaci-
ty of a dog IN connection with the warlike
incidents Of Chickamauga camp. This
dog has been adopted in a wealthy Column
bus (Ohio) family. He became great
favorite with all the members Of that fam
ny, especially with the youngest son.
Meanwhile the war with Spain broke out
and the eldest son, a member of one of
the regiments 0. ". c., went to the front
and reached Chickamauga camp. He had
been away from home but a short time
when the owner Of the dog called and
claimed his property.
IL was reluctantly given up, and the
youngest son especially was 10th to part
with his pet. For pet he was, although
by nature fierce, for he was black eyed,
fun blooded bulldog. The other day this
youngest scion Of the family left for

Ptth OF Indian Corn in War.

The American consul general at st.
Petersburg gives this account of a trial
of %cornstalk pith made by the Russian
admiralty board on the proving grounds
at Poligon. near st. Petersburg: "a cof-
fer-dam six feet long, siv feet deep and
three feet broad was packed with
blocks of cellulose made from the pith
Of Indian corn stalks. The material
was supplied by the Marsden Company
of Philadelphia. A sixsinch solid shot
was fired through the dam, striking it
about twenty inches from the bottom.
The shot passed clear through both the
iron walls and the cellulose packing.
Less than half a pound of the %cellulose
was carried out by the projectile. The
water compartment of the dam was
filled. giving a pressure of nearly five
feet of water on the perforated surface.
In just half an hour n moist spot began
to show oil the outer surface of the
dam. hut it was evident that the mois-
turc had come along the bottom of the
packing and not along the path of the
shot. In four hours no water had come
through the sho.'s path. The expert
ment %conclusively demonstrated that a
ship provided with a Golfer dam, pack
ed as was the one used in the expert.
