soon as 1t was learned they were to

that city became very indignant and
proposed to forcibly prevent It At
Philadelphia the frowning attitude OF
the Monumental City was communi-
Gated to the soldiers en- route, whose
good time was suddenly interrupted by
the order to load their guns with ball
cartridge. This meant an ugly recep-
ton.
The troops arrived In the hostile city
In a crowded station filed with angry
men who hurled excavations at the ar
irving soldiery. Finding this did not

into the street a fusilade was begun,
and soon the air was flied with flying
missiles hurled at the invaders. Sew
eral were struck and then the regiment
turned and faced its assalants. This
did not deter the unorganized foe and
the command was given to fire. When
the smoke lifted several Of the dead
and dying rioters were stretched on the
ground and a panic-stricken mob was
hunting a place Of safety. A running
fight was kept up until the regiment
reached the depot on the other side Of
the city, when 1t was found that FIVE
of the members had been shot to death
and many wounded. The ride to Wash
ington was without interruption. The
bodies Of the dead soldiers were con-
veyed to their homes and great ft-
neral procession took place In Boston.

population of London is approaching
100000, and for purposes Of sanitary
supervision the area Is divided into for
ty-three districts, each having its med
ical officer Of health. Sanitation and
medical science are graphing success
fully with disease, and the illustrative
diagrams by means of which DR.. Muir
ply reduces numerous bewildering bat
talions Of statistics to a striking COM
prehensive impression OF that contest
tell on the whole a fairly satisfactory
story.
Marriages are certainly found to be
declining when we take long survey,
even If we are not able to say that the
diminution is all under the head Of I'M
provident unions. The marriages dur
Ing the forty-fve years from 1851 to
1896 show mean rate Of 1870 per 1000.
But from 1851 to 1879 the marriage rate
each year was above that mean. There
was indeed brief period-it covered
the '6Os-when marrying In London
burst forth with exceptional ferror, but
the abnormal effort seems to have had
the consequence Of all abnormal ef-
forts In q remarkable reaction, and
since then making a "nuptial Of two
hearts has gone steadily downward,
though, we may add, to reassure the
timorous, that In actual figures the
diminution on the quarter Of q century
Is from 1915 to 1870 per 1000. Last year
S9.6S9 marriages were made Ia Lon
don, and the number Is probably ample.
The birth rate too Is on the down
grade, the turn In this department be-
ginning about 1856, and continuing IN
til now. Last year births were most
numerous In the combined eastern dis
tricts and lowest In the western, and
we notice. furthermore, that, although
the fewest children were born In the
western part Of London, more infants
died there than In any ether group Of
districts. The fall In the London birth
rate corresponds strangely with q fall
over the whole Of England and Wales.

Professionals are now OF the opinion
that there are but two considerations in
the market, the crop prospects and the
stocks. They believe that the price OF
July will be particular " affected by
the conditions likely to make the win
ter wheat harvest an early or late one.
The general sentiment is rather bearish
on the price, but it is borne in mind
that with less than 1000, 900 bushels
contracted at Chicago. CONGESTION. even
without any manipulation, could easi-
ly be created. A rainy night might
delay the harvest 80 as to cost a July
short seller good deal Of money. The
feeling as to September and December
is that anything around 80 cents will
be high price unless the crop pros.
pect is disturbed In an important way.
With these futures II will make little
difference whether the harvest Is late
or early. If a crop of 100, 900, 900
bushels, or even 600, 900, 900 bushels is
secured, 1t Is taken for granted price
anywhere around so cents Is too good
to expect. Wheat spectators know
very we'll that crop conditions abroad
are as important to the price as the
conditions at home; and 80 when
they talk of 80 cents as high price
they presume the continuance of good
harvest prospects the world over.
That is the outlook now, although
there are some complaints of unseason-
able weather on the continent, just as
there are of rust and cinch bugs in
Kansas" There never has been year
without some complaint from some
quarter or without some crop mishap.
So far, however, the harvest outlook Is
in a general way fine one the world
over. Each week now finishes large
wheat area, and in three weeks the re-
suit of the entire winter wheat crop
will be settled.
