BRApsTREET,s REVIEW.
Volume of Business ThrOughOut the
Country Is Very Large.

Country Is Very Large.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Though rather quieter
conditions are reportabe in a number of
lines of trade, the volume of business do
ing the country over is a very heavy one,
slightly smaller, so far bank clearings
would indicate, than in September one year
ago. but comparing very favorably with
corresponding periods in all preceding years.
While the edge appears to have been taken
off the active demand for some time noted
in the West and Northwest, and the inn
position of yellow fever guarantees and the
low price of cotton in the South have hurt
trade in that section, there have been, on
the other hand, rather better reports re-
ceived from the leading Eastern and Middle
States cities, pointing to a fuller develop
ment of the long expected fall trade. Ac-
companying this slight shifting of activity
from one section of the country to the other
has been a continued heavy export move
ment of leading cereals, unprecedented
activity in the manufacture of nearly all
lines of iron and steel and continued good
reports as to gross railway earnings. COM

able in the price situation. Wheat, after
quite heavy bulge early in the week on
undoubtedly good export demand, foreign
buying and nervousness of September shorts,
has quoted down slightly and prices are a
few cents lower on the week, the result
mainly of increased deliveries by farmers
taking advantage of the tempting premium
existing for cash wheat. Sympathetic weak
ness in other cereals Is likewise noted. Pork
products are lower, partly because of less
favorable Southern advices. Cotton is weak
er on continued heavy movement, and cot
ton goods, especially print cloths, are there
by Sympathetically affected. Crude rubber,
after a long period of advances in price, Is
lower on the week The feature of the sit
uation in iron, steel and. in fact, nearly all
metals is the strength of values, which re-
fleets unprecedentedly heavy consumption
now going on throughout the country,
though new business is quieter penang
progress making on orders already booked.
Export trade in iron and steel is reported

BLOW TO LUCY LEE HILL.
With Winnie Davis Passed the Title
of "Daughter of the COnfederacy."


REYNOLDS, Ca Sept. 3O.-Gen. John B.
Gordon, commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, is at his plantation
near here resting, and at intervals pur-
suing his literary work The general was
shown a dispatch from Chicago in which
Miss Lucy Lee Hill claims to have had the
title Daughter of the Confederacy," con-
ferred upon her by her Southern friends
since the death of Winnie Davis. The gen.
eral was asked If the title could be thus
transferred and replied with great earnest
ness: "Emphatically no. Miss Winnie was
the only daughter of President Davis. born
in the Confederate White House during
the life of the Confederacy. AS Jefferson
Davis was the only President of the Con-
federate government, no daughter of any
other official could truly represent the Con-
federacy For that reason it would not be
appropriate to call even the daughter of
Gen Robert +. Lee the Daughter of the
Confederacy. To designate anyone else as
Daughter of the Confederacy would not
only be inappropriate and meaningless, but
would deprive the title of all its value. In
the very nature of the case no one except
Miss Winnie Davis is entitled TO be called
the Daughter sof the Confederacy. That
title was unique and peculiarly. her own,
and is very properly to be placed upon her
tomb TO designate anyone else by that
title would be almost sacrtlege. As with
JEFFERSON Davis passed the. title Of Pres
idenf Of the C0nfederacy.' so with Miss
Winnie has passed that or Daughter Of the
Confederacy

DENVER, Col, Sept. 30.-Slow progress

of Rev. Joseph P. Mcintyre, chaplain Of
the battle ship Oregon. Almost the entire

questions. Judge E. N. Bonfils, who testi-

Benjamin H. Bayles, of Denver. a re-
tired business man, testified that nothing

wording of the lecture, the witness said his

The National Industrial Commission,
which has just held it's first meeting at
Chicago, has the approval of organized
labor and is expected to evolve something
of value in the course of its inquiry, which
is to extend ever two years. The iron Age,
a leading trade paper, thinks this may be
expected, both because of the scope of
the work which has been marked out for
it, the time given in which to carry on its
labors, and because of its personnel, and
the presence of such labor representatives
as F. p Sargent, president of the Loco
motive Ffremen, and NJ. d. Ratchford
president of the United Mine Workers of
the United States" OF the nineteen mem
bers of the commission ten are senators or
representatives and nine are outsiders spe-
cially interested in organized labor.

The War Department, while seeming to
grant a special favor TO Governor Holcomb
of Nebraska. and Colonel Bryan in permit
ting the former to choose whether he will
have the First Nebraska Regiment, now in
Manila, or the Third Regiment. now at jack
sonville, mustered out has put these gentle
men in an awkward position. In all other
States the first regiments mustered have
been selected for muster-out The First Ne
braska has been under fire in Manila and
has had some trying service, so that it
may be assumed to have done its part. The
Third Nebraska was created specially for
Colonel Bryan, Governor Holcomb and
vile at the request Of Colonel Bryan and
his friends that it might see service in
Cuba. The War Department would retain
it to see service in that island. but now
Colonel Bryan, Governor Holbrook and
other friends of Colonel Bryan are impor-
tuning the President to order the immediate
muster-out of the Third. The order will not
be given, but the Governor will be permit
ted to name the regiment that will be mus
tered out. If he should name Colonel Bry-
ans regiment the country will assume that
the wish of Colonel Bryan and his friends
has more weight than the wish of the First
Regiment, which has right by usage to
be first mustered out 1t is very doubtful
if Governor Holcomb and Colonel Bryan
will care to put themselves in such an un-
favorable light before the country.

Consequently, if the ticket for the Assem-

sound currency and desire a continuation
of the present conditions will vote against
the Turpie legislative ticket. On the other
hand, men who desire to reward the man

sire such man in the Senate. can make no

To judge from the Democratic platforms
now being adopted everything would have
been very different if that party had had
the management of the war. An army of
100000 volunteers would have been raised,
mobilized and equipped in few days time
without any friction or delay; the rusty ma
chinery of army organization, unused for
thirty years, would have worked to perfec-
ton; the regular army officers, staff, field
and line, who are said to have done so bad
ly under President Mckinley, would have
done splendidly under Democratic Presi-
dent; the sanitary condition of all the camps
would have been perfect; there would have
been no typhoid fever, the soldiers would
have had three square meals day served
hot, they would have got to Cuba and Porto
Rico and back without any discomfort-in
short the whole campaign would have fur
nished undisputable proof of the great re-
sources and administrative ability of the
party which fights all it's wars on paper
and gains all its victories by resolutions.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-10-01

In an informal interview yesterday with
a delegation from South Carolina Presi-
dent Mckinley spoke in warm terms of the
patriotism of the soldiers from the South
and said he had not heard murmur or
complaint from that section. There is some
thing suggestive in this. OF course, the
volunteers from the South are no more pa
triotic than those from the North, neither
are they more hardy capable of endur-
ing hardships, yet the President says he has
rot heard a single complaint from that Sec
ton. while, as we all know, there has been
a great outcry from the North. The differ
ence cannot be so much in the men as in
social and political conditions. 1t goes to
show that the sensational correspondents
and Democratic editors and managers of
the North have had much more to do with
working up the clamor than have the SOL
diers of either section.
