MARINE ANNIVERSARY.
Secretary Long Commends the Corps
on It's One Hundredth Year.

Washington, Aug. S.-Secretary Long
on July 80 issued the following order
commencing the marine corps:
On the 11th day of the present month
the United states marine corps which
had been a part of the establishment
of the government for one hundred and
twenty-three years, completed the one
hundredth year of its existence as a
corps. During this period the many oc-
casions on which it has received the
thanks of congress for distinguished
conduct in conflict with the enemy, and
the numerous instances in which it's
duties have been performed in such a
manner as to bring it prominently into
notice, have served to impress upon
the public and especially upon the
naval service the great worth of the
corps. This order is issued in recog-
milton of the centennial anniversary of
this important and useful arm of the
government which, occurring as it
does, in the midst of the war with
Spain, and at time when the marine
corps has added new glory to its al
ready gallant record, affords the de-
partment an added pleasure in an
nouncing this anniversary to the SER
vice.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. Sin the stock mar
ket today profit taking began from the
start in some of the recent favorites and
held them back even while the rest of tie
market was rising buoyantly on the OUT
side orders which had come into commits
sion houses during the Sunday interval
The volume of these orders was large and
indicated a growth of confidence by the
outside public In the value of securities.
But the disposition TO take profits on the
strength of this outside demand caused
feeling of doubt in the minds of room
traders, and the rumor got into circula-
uon that the large moncyed Interests
which bought stocks last week were SELL
ing out. The professional bears these
upon rushed to sell at about the time
when the accumulated commission house
orders had been executed. Earlier gains
were wiped out In practically all cases, the
market falling below Saturdays level. AT
this point very lage blocks of stocks be-
gan to be taken again and before the
close there was almost complete recov-
cry. number of the industrials, notably
Tobacco, Leather, preferred, the mailing
stocks and the stocks of some of the iron
and steel companies showed conspicuous
advances. The late trading showed q de-
cline in animation and a slightly yielding
tendency In prices. The toal sales were
4SS,600 shares.

Quoted from a sanitary point Of view,
together with suggestions as to food
and clothing of the soldiers. 1t Is the
opinion of the surgeon general that
these conditions have not been carried
out and in his circular today he says:
The extensive prevalence of typhoid
fever in camps Of instruction indicates
that the sanitary recommendations
made in this circular have not been
carried out. If medical officers have
failed to make the proper recommen-
dations as indicated, the responsibility
rests with them. If the recommenda-
tions have been made and not acted
upon by those having authority in the
various camps. the responsibility is not
with the medical department, but these
recommendation should be repeated
and commanding officers be urged to
move their camps at frequent intervals
and to maintain strict sanitary pol

General Sternberg hopes to have
more favorable reports and to hear
soon that the epidemic of typhoid fever
has been checked.

morning from Washington, spent three
hours here and left again for Wash
ington at 1910. Lieutenant Hobson
took carriage on his arrival and went
directly to call on Admiral McNair, the
superintendent of the academy. After
a few minutes chat he went over to
see Admiral Cervera, who is occupying
a house in the same row with the
superintendents residence. Here he
and the Spanish prisoner exchanged
"reminiscences of their former meeting,
when Hobson was rescued from the
waters of Santiago harbor by the ad-
miral. Lieutenant Hobson afterwards
called on Commander Edwin White and
other officers.
Quite a crowd of people gathered at
the station to see him off, and he went
through the usual routine of hand
shaking and returned thanks for con-
gratulations.
