STOCK MARKET ANIMATED.
Trading shows Notable Discrim-
mating sense

New York Aug l5.-The dealings in the
stock market yesterday We're conspicuous
in number of respects The trading was
exceedingly animated and interest was
well diffused throughout the market
Furthermore the trading showed a dis
eliminating sense that was noteworthy in
view of the general buoyancy of the mar
ket and the enthusiastic speculative feel
ing that was prevalent. Trade condi-
tions and prospects and the money mar
ket were the substantial foundations of
the movement, and there could be aone
more logical and trustworthy. In the
cases of the granger shares, which were
the actual leaders of the market, there
was the additional incentive OF the pros
poets for enlarged dividends. ST Paul
led the market today in an advance of
noteworthy proportions for so sober a Sc
curity. The directors will declare the
semi-annual dividend on the stock within
a month, and there are strong expecta-
tions that the stock will be placed upon
a regular per cent annual basis. Aside
from the granger stocks, interest was
most largely evident in the Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific shares, Missouri
Pacific, Rapid Transit, and the Industrial
stocks. In the latter division there were
many pronounced advances. in which
American Tobacco. American Mailing and
the United States Rubber shares were
conspicuous. Sugar was active, but the
stock moved in rather an eccentric fash
ion.
The American stocks in London advanc-
ed over closing of Saturday. Apprehen-
sions of an Anglo-Russian war IN Chi
ma were still reported as tending to re-
tard activity.
There was no change in the rates OF
money for time loans.

A GREAT NAVAL REVIEW
Battleships From the Scene Of
Victory in Parade.
NEXT SATURDAY In NEW YORK
The Line of March Will be Up the
North River. Passing the Grant
the Largest of the Kind That
Has Ever Taken Place I'm America.

The glory of the strength of the fleet
which forced the fire of the enemy off
the coast of Cuba all through the war
is to be exhibited in New York on Sat
urday next when seven of our biggest
warships will pass up the North River In
review.
The big battleships and cruisers which
have so grandly sustained the prowess of
the American navy won by Jones. Perry,
Farragut, and Dewey, and the towering
machines of dread which startled the
world by their complete annihilation of
Cervera's fleet, will swing through New
York Harbor and pass up the river 20
Grants tomb at Riverside Park, where
they will fire a salute and return TO their
anchorage.
The warships which will take part in
the view are the armored cruisers New
York and Brooklyn and the battleships
Massachusetts,, Oregon, Iowa, Indiana,
and Texas.
In response 10 the popular demand the
naval authorities have agreed 10 adopt
the proposition for the review and Acting
Secretary Allen will issue the necessary
orders this morning.
This will not be a mere steaming over
a few miles of calm water. 1t will mark
the closing of the wonderful round OF
noble service accomplished in this war by
this fleet and will be an opportunity
granted TO a grateful and hero worship
ing people to express their gratitude to
the boys who manned the fleet and stood
by the guns Flags and bunting will be
everywhere. The joyous yelling OF two
millions of eager American throats will
sound ttle pean of welcome to the VIC
torious heroes The strains of con-
quering hymns will bring new light and
life to the weary tars and the booming of
cannon, the din of whistles, will cause the
riveted decks to thrill.
The New York, Brooklyn, Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, and Oregon will arrive
in New York on Friday and will pass
through all the glory in the grandeur of
their battle scars. The Texas alone will
present a shining front as she has been
in drydock for over a week.
Great enthusiasm is already displayed
over the coming review and although it
was hoped to have the officers and men
of the fleet march in parade down Broad
way, the whole interest will be centered
in the bulwarks wherein the boys faced
death without fiinching.

THE WALTER MORRIS CASE.
The Interior Departments Ruling
on the knap Claims Reversed.

Webster Davis. Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior, handed down a large number
of decisions yesterday in pension cases
among them being the following. which
is of especial interest, as it settles the
pznsionable status of all soldiers who
served in Knap's Battery, Pennsylvania
militia.
The claim IS that of Walter Morris
who was a private belonging to the bat
terry. While in the service and line OF
duty, az Hancock, Nd, in July, 1863, he
sustained an injury Of the left foot by {
cannon running over ii. His claim was
rejected in February 1896, on the ground
that the organization in which he was
serving when the injury was incurred
was not mustered into the service of the
United States.
In deciding his appeal to the Secretary
of the Interior. Assistant Secretary Davis
in his opinion says:
1T appears that the organization tC
which the soldier belonged was called int
the service by the authority of the Presi-
dent; that ii was turned over TO the
United States officers, and by them or.

Yesterdays market gave every indiea-
ton that the trading public has at last
realized that the war is over and the
boom is due. There was a rapid advance
all over the board and the tone of specu-
fation even at the higher prices was ex-
cellent. There were large purchases of
stocks by investors and spectators alike.
Mail orders over Sunday were plentiful in
the commission houses. The cessation Of
hostilities is a great thing in itself, but
1t is no greater than the confidence of the
people that there is to be an era of pros
perity of long duration all over the coun-
try. Even when tthe belief in this condi-
ton for several weeks has been the cause
of large advances in prices already until
they are at present on a high level, there
is still faith enough in the future to
make the street believe in several points
more rise The advance yesterday ranged
from one to four and probably averaged
two points in all the active stocks. There
has not been such a boom in prices for
several months. The only exceptions were
the unsafe and insecure properties. The
street is divided as to the probabilities for
today after this large advance. On the
whole, however, 1T is very likely that it
will be held and that there will be still
further boom.
