The three brigades of the Second Division
of the First Corps, commanded by General
Poland, engaged in sham battle this morn
ing, reviewed by General Breckenridge and
staff, who expressed satisfaction at the
movements of the men. The details of the
engagement were carried out with remarka-
BILE precision. There were no accidents, and
the men bore the fatiguing exercises re-
markably well. In addition to this sham
battle there were a number of regimental
drills. in which there were very few men
compelled to retire because of their exer-
lions General Brooke and his staff state
that the army here is becoming more rap
idly Injured to camp life and the require
ments of the service than was thought pos
sible
One of the most important points about
which General Breckenridge has been very
particular in giving instructions in sham
battle maneuvers Is that volunteers are too
prone to expose themselves to the eneIny's
fire in their close-order formations. The
failure on the part of officers to take adj
vantage of the inequalities of the grounds
and the cover furnished by the field of
operations was criticised rather severely by
General Breckenridge who said that had
the battle been IN actual warfare portion

Mail FaciIit,e. for soldiers.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Six additional
postal clerks have been detailed to the
camp at Chickamauga, making twenty-five
in ell at that camp. The mail is delivered
there three or four times a day, and as
many as 5000 letters have been delivered
at one time. 1t is estimated that the Post
Office Department service there is equal to
that required for community of 2S6,O0O in
other places. Three additional clerks have
been appointed to serve at Camp Alger. 1t
was found that considerable delay in the
delivery of mail at camps resulted from the
stoppage of mail wagons by guards. These
conveyances, being of different characters
service of the United States, and hereafter
mail delivery wagons of the regular type
will be used for this purpose. Another in
novation on account of the soldiers is a
postmark stamp for use in the field with
movable type. so that the names and loca-
tons of camps can be easily changed on 1t
as the troops move from place to place.

BERLIN, May 2S.-An article in the Post
says: '1t is declared semi ffscially that the
recent rumors as TO the transfer of the
Philippine islands to France or to Germany,
or to their partition among the European
powers with the interests in the far East,
have no foundation whatever. America is
not yet in possession, it is true, and it is
quite possible she may never occupy them.
But any laying of hands on the islands at
present would be a hostile act against
other European powers having interests
there
This utterance may be taken as explicit
proof that the continental powers have
come to an agreement on the subject to
await further action by America.

Glass Makers Early Meeting.

Special 10 tue Indianapolis JOurEal.
ANDERSON. Ind, May 28.-Window
glass manufacturers have called national
wage conference with the workers for Pitts
burg, June g. for the purpose of taking pri-
mary steps in settling the question of scale
for the coming year. The workers will make
heavy demands owing to the splendid mar
kets and the top notch at which glass is SELL
ing. 1t is thought the manufacturers will
grant a good increase in wages without
much controversy. The demand for glass is
heavy, stocks are low, and the manufac-
turers are anxious to get to work on the
scale. The first conferences are seldom held
before July 20 or later, and this action of
the manufacturers indicates that they are
anxious as to the future and they may even
sign up and ask the unions to withdraw
their protests against summer vacations of
two months and work, or at least cut 1t
down to one month. It is not likely the
workers will do this. To-nights summary
shows that 1,9W pots have been in steady
operation in the United States during the
past week.

it's Realized.

In most lines of business the trade of the week
ending May % was very satisfactory and fair
margin of profit realized. Some articles how
ever are being sold very close, sharp has been
competition. The grocers had very busy week,
in fact. for the last ten weeks they have had a
very large trade. The is true with the
leather dealers and the druggists, the tendency
to hardening in prices on these lines of goods
stimulating the demand. The dry goods houses,
hardware merchants and confectioners all report
their trade handsomely in excess Of last year in
May but no boom. On Commission row for the
entire month business has been the most salts
factory in years The market has been kept well
cleared and fruits and vegetables and other ar
prices than last year. Business with the produce
men has been active. Prices have ruled about as
usual The provision market has been active,
but prices have ruled easy. Flour is unsettled.
Hay is easier on the outlook for fine crop.
