Chicago Did Well.

CHICAGO July 4.-The people Of Chicago
took unique and patriotic manner of cele-
brating Independence day. A week ago
everything was we'll advanced for one of
the largest pyrotechnic displays In the his
tory of this city. Everything had been ar
ranged on an elaborate scale. Speeches
were to have been made by ex-President
Benjamin Harrison, United States Senator
William Mason and numerous other prom
inent men. All the preparations came to a
sudden stop several days ago when the
Army and Navy League sent their mission
aries among the men and argued that the
money expended for fireworks and other ac-
cessories could be put to better use by do
lilies Of the soldiers fighting before Santiago.
AS a result the treasury of the Army and
Navy League has been enriched by some
thousands of dollars. No organized celebra-
ton was, therefore, held in Chicago to-day.

CAMP ALGER, Va. July 4.-There was a
noisy and enthusiastic Fourth Of July cele-
bration in camp to-day which was not down
on the programme. 1t was about s o'clock
when the first nsws Of the success of the
Sampson fleet came and in a very few
minutes the band was out playing patriotic
airs Company after company dropped in
behind the music makers, cheering as only
Americans can. The spirit of enthusiasm
spread to the other commands and soon the
sound of noisy approval came from every
regimental camp. There were some parades
in which the men appeared in grotesque
costumes. The best one was by the First
Rhode Island, which is slated to leave for
the front tomorrow. More equipments for
the regiment were received by Ordnance
officer Gebhart to-day. 1t is now thought
there will be no rapid movement from Camp
Alger, but this is only conjecture. Captain
Appleworth is still very i'll at Fort Myer.
The troops are being paid very rapidly and
it is thought the work will be completed
this week. B. w. B.
