Will Not Stand BY and
See Their Officers
Turned Down.
sunday q Zig Day at Camp
NJ L. Estimated That 10000 People
Visited the Brigade From Lower
Michigan on sunday Last.

.e CAMP EATON. May 2, 1898.
The feelins among the members OF tht
Fifth Regiment in their determination
not to stand by and see their colonel OF
other officers turned down is just az
strong as IL was when the question first
came up and every one of the boys is de-
termined to return TO Calumet rather
than see the regiment absorbed and the
officers thrown down.
The whole trouble is simply this: The
war department has determined to make
tour regiments out OF the Michigan
troops. Colonel Petermann is the junior
colonel OF the four regiments and would
OF course have to submit to the reduc-
zion il il were not for the fact that the
Fourth is without a colonel, it having
been unable to elect one as the result OF a
fractional fight. But even il they had
elected one he would have been theiunior
colonel and the Fourth is. any way it
can be figured. the regiment that should
submit TO the division to gil out the
Others. But now Captain Gardner OF the
regular army, the officer who has been
assisting the inspector general for the
past year or more, steps in and is to be
given the colonelcy OF the Fourth by the
governor and the Fifth must be divided,
sim ply because il has not power enough
with the powers that be TO hold It's own
with the governor, with whom it is said
Captain Gardner's word ia law ip military
matters.
Nobody doubts that the Fifth ia the
best OF the entire outfit and that it's men
are better able TO stand the hardest kind
of work far better than the other regi-
ments, and especially the Fourth. who
have always been known for their riotous
dying IN camp and their inability TO
stand even the hard work on the field
But il must not be assumed that it has
been determined to cut up the Fifth. The
governor says he don't know anyt hing
about it aud the same is true OF the
other officers.
The examining board is expected this
afternoon, when the officers will frat
undergo the examination. GUCK

In the final hour there a move all along the line which effectu- ally broke prices, leaving only few small net gains in some of the low-priced stocks that had been pushed up in the earlier trading In all the prominent stocks, even Sugar which was the leader of the market, gains were practically wiped out, and in some cases net losses amount to over points, The bear drive was accom- panied by considerable beating of tpm-toms and d diffusion of rumors and ostentatious fears Of the effect of the @enate's vote for the coin age of treasury silver

CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS.

NEW YORK. June 8.-The Journal of Con- merce says: The demand for California Dried Fruits from consumers was light and no specu- lative interest whatever was manifested. How ever as spot stocks of all descriptions in the first hands are light and jobbers are said to be carrying small supplies even at this season a steady feeling prevails.
 Stocks of California Prunes in first hands con- sist almost entirely of 6O@7os and 7OQSo's. but these sizes do not seem to be wanted. Jobbers are carrying very small supplies of 4o950's and 50960s. and of sizes below sos they re- ported to have little. There is, however. little consuming demand at present and prices are nominal. Apricots are quiet, but offerings limited and prices firm with upward ten dency. General quotations 9G12c in boxes, but for some extra fancy fruit up to 141ac Is demanded. Peaches are slow of sale, but un- der small supplies of desirable goods the mar ket is firm California loose Muscatel Raisins are quiet but there is little offered, spot or to arrive. The market remains firm. California seedess are limited in stock and firm but we hear of little demand. Foreign Raisns are scarce. There Is, however little demand and prices nominal. Currants firm. though the inquiry is light Dates and Figs remain quiet with prices nominal and unchanged.

rNANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Bradstreet's Financial Review tomorrow will say: strong tone has been shown in last week speculation, and generally advancing tendencies in prices have been accompanied by increased activity, though a sharp reaction on Friday followed the news that the United States Senate had adopted the measure for the coinage of the silver seignior- age The upward movement in prices has at tracted considerable outside interest, but in the more prominent stocks manipulative influences and the work of bull cliques can be detected
 The strength of Government bonds (the new fours advancing from 121& bid to 123): the im- provement in railroad bonds indicating renew ed activity on the part of the investors, and more or less buying by London have all been sustaining. factors, while in this connection the ease of money must not be forgotten. The principal influence continues to be the war; and the street this week has been favorably in huenced by expectations that the bockading of the Spanish squadron at Santiago will end in its destruction and capture and bring about a restoration of neace.

Al though the sales in this market for this week will only amount to about 100, GOO pounds, there Is more looking around and by small conces- sions some large sales could be effected.
