THEY HEED DIJTY'S CALI.


Captain George Pegram was called out
and with unaffected and earnest words
told that he and his comrades had sim
ply responded to what they conceived to
be their duty. They hoped to keep bright
the record already made by the Rich
mond Light Infantry Blues as an organi-
cation. They were not unmindful that
they were making some sacrifice, but
duty TO them was paramount to personal
interest. He thanked the club for its
consideration and kindness to them.
Mr.. Joseph Young was next called for,
and 1t was shown that the boys were not
only soldiers. but speakers as well. Mr..
Young said they could not tell how much
they appreciated the action OF the club
Said he: REST assured you will not be
ashamed Of us. The Blues Is a time
honored organization, and we will do our
part TO keep its record up"
Just here Mr.. Wyndham Meredith
arose and offered a toast 10 "The Blues"
Captain Joseph Willard, also a member
of the club. arose from his seat. and
with well-chosen and patriotic words
said he was proud OF the Blues. and that
the army might be congratulated upon
having such men in IL. Their bearing
and character would have it's effect. Lieu
terant Daughtrey and Sergeant Spencer
were called for and responded. Messrs
Mclean and Buert sang songs, and so
the evening was spent.
The reunion was timely and was
graceful thing on the part OF the Com
monwealth Club. The club proposes 10

wherever they may be sent. The only
invited guests were the colonel OF the
Fourth Regiment and his stan.

NEW YORK. June 4--There was no
trace left to-day OF the reactionary ten
dency nnanifeet in the stock market late
yesterday. The change might be ac-
counted for in two ways. First. the adop-
ton by tho Senate OF the. section Of the
revenue bill authorizing an issue Of bonds
and Treasury certificates may have re-
Heved tho expected apprehension for the
care OF the Governments finances.
Second, the professional spectators who
sold stocks and took their profits early
IN the week. and were anxious to get
back at low prices, may have been salts
fed with the extension OF yesterday
reaction, and glad to buy back stocks at
the lower level. The second objection is
the more likely TO be true.
1t was evident before the. opening OF the
market to-day that II would be difficult
TO effect any further decline in prices.

bank statement first appeared there was
some pressure 70 sell by traders who make
II a rule TO always sell stocks when the
banks surplus reserves show a decrease,
but better analysis of the returns soon

The close was active and strong, near

most active stocks ranging between i

The final blockading Of Admiral Cervera
in Santiago harbor has given strength TO

large buying.

made known to the Spanish people Of
Cuba that Spain, had through the in
tervention of foreign powers, been
forced to the disgraceful issue OF suing
for peace, and that there would be no
more war and no further use for SOL
diers. He offered pardon to all
Cuban political prisoners, and over
$50 were released in Havana.
Havana, Gen. Blanco says, will be
given over to the Americans and
Cubans and the Spaniards will be
forced to evacuate. He assures the
soldiers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain or go to other
Spanish possessions that they will be
given free transportation by their
mother country to their destination
and will be protected from inter-
ference on the part of either Cubans
or Americans. He suggests that the
Cubans be forgiven and no longer re-
garded as enemies and that no unkind
feeling be cherished.

New York. Aug. e.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S

OF peace stimulate many kinds of busi-
ness. In spite of records. the Impression
prevails that delay and hesitation have le-
ultimately resulted from war, and larger
contracts are in fact coming forward for
iron products. with better general de-
mand in most industries. The volume of
payments through all clearing houses was
the largest ever known in July being 8
per cent. larger than in 1892 for the month
and for the past week III per cent larger
Most industrial works have resumed after

call attention to the fact that this season
has been remarkably free from such
hindrances.

the IS white and red stripes of our flag
represent the IS original states The
flag is the creation of Gen. Lopez. who
led the Cuban insurrection of 1851, and

been won, and for that reason adopted
