Eve, and which concerns the public, as others
may have suffered similarly, ought, in nv judg-
ment 10 be noted in the press. the custodian and
best champion that ! know of OF the peoples
rights, if the common, everyday citizen Of this
great and rapidly-expsnding Republic has any
rights which entitled to respect.
Having been notified that a package would be
sent me several days before Christmas. per United
States Express, and it not having arrived at
late hour, went to the company's office at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot 20 merely ascertain if
it had been received, either at shipping point
or city warehouse. Ny inquiries We're rlidelv in
terrupted by young man, somewhat affected by
premature indulgence in liquor. who notified the
other clerks to give information whatever to
anyone, other than that all goods received would
be delivered some time other. The order was
given in insolent manner. and, as one of
the clerks remarked, / ''hsard what the boss
said that was all the satisfaction I could get
of my DELAYED package, which. To nv great an

Christmas.
Whenever difficulties arise between corporations
and their employees. the latter always look to the
general public for sympathy, and yet much OF
the pFeiudiee against soulless corporations is
caused by the insolence of employees themselves

Street, in the rear of No. s04 Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, about 10 o'clock last night,
and began a playful scufie which resulted
in serious injuries to Max Buehing, one of
the number.
Buehing is thirty years old, German,
and a man of powerful physique. From
his own statement given on the operating
table at the hospital. it appears that the
artillerymen We're tugging at each other,
exchanging hats and in sundry ways appro-
priating each others minor wearing ap-
parel. Buehing was kicked in the groin
by Charles Cone, fellow artilleryman, and
fell to the floor. Policemen Sampson and
Oriani were in the vicinity when the rum
pus occurred. and. entering the restaur-
ant, placed Cone under arrest. Two
other artillerymen, members of Battery E.
Sixth Artillery, eluded arrest. Cone was
lodged at the First precinct police sta
tion and hurry call sent in for the Emer
gency Hospital ambulance. At the hospital
1t was discovered that Buehing had sus-
tanned injuries which were of a serious
nature. He was unable to stand or sit
and was given medical attention and plac-
ed in a ward at the hospital The exact
nature Of his injuries could not be ascer-
tanned by the physicians last night, but
it is feared that they are internal and
very serious. The police will make other
arrests.

THEIR INITIAL REUNION.
EASTERN High school Alumni Form "a
Permanent ORGANIZATIONS.

The first reunion of the alumni of the
Eastern High School was held at the school
building. corner OF Seventh and C Streets
southeast, last night at o'clock. The
members of the various classes assembled
in the exhibition hall, on the third floor,
and perfected the organization of the East
ern High School Alumni.
Heretofore the association has only in
cluded one class. but that organization was
so depleted by the removal of its members
from the city that il was decided to open
the doors and allow all the graduates of the
school to become members. The meeting
last night was for that purpose, and includ-
ed banquet and dance. II was decided 10
let the matter of constitution and by
laws rest in the hands of an executive COM
mittee, one member of which shall come
from each of the classes represented in the
organization. II was also decided that re-
unions should be held each year and the
most appropriate place to hold them will
be hereafter decided.
The officers of the association We're elect
ed last night and are as follows: Presi-
dent. J. V. Kelly; vice president, Miss Alice
Irwin; secretary. Clifford C. Church, and
treasurer, Clair s. Hillyer. At the con-
clusion OF the exercises in the exhibition
hall the meeting adjourned to the corridor
on the first floor, where bounteous repast
was served, during the course of which
toasts were responded to by the Misses
Robinette. Weide and Yoder, and Messrs
Williams, Foster and Bethune. After the

FEWER military POSTS.
The War OGce Decides to Abandon
E Number of stations.

a. NGmDtr Oh StutiOns.
The extension of American authority to
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico will
lead TO the abandonment of some military
posts in this country. While the abandon
ment will be only temporary in num-
Der OF cases, few Of the posts will prob
ably not be re-established when the
standing army has been increased to a
hundred thousand men. or whatever num-
ber Congress makes provision for.
The intention Of the military authorities
to garrison places in the Philippines as
soon as possible and the necessity for
troops that will come OF mastering out
large number Of volunteers when peace is
formally declared, will compel the War
Department to send practically all its reg
ular infantry and some of the artillery
and cavalry out Of the country.
Nearly all the regiments at infantry
posts are under orders to prepare for ser
vice abroad and as soon as transports can
be secured for carrying six regiments TO
the Philippines. the infantry stations of
Fort Smelling, Fort Sheridan, Jefferson
Barracks, Columbus Barracks, Fort
LeayenwOrth and Fort Cook will be de-
serted.
Several smaller posts, garrisoned by
from one company TO a battalion OF these
regiments. will be deserted at the same
time Posts adjacent to Indian reserva-
tions will be maintained for cavalry de-
tachments and practically all the batteries
of the seven artillery regiments, certainly
all the heavy batteries. will be kept at
the coast stations. The artillery will be
very much scattered howeve- Probably
no regiment will be kept intact at one
post.
The plan of the War Department has
not been perfected, but it is said TO con-
template the withdrawal of troops from
stations where their services to suppress
rtoting or Indian outbreaks have not been
required, exclusive of coast defense posts.
After the American Railway Union riots
in Chicago and other places in the West
the War Department began to establish
posts and to increase the garrisons OF
those already near big cities. number
OF the small posts in the West were aban-
doned
Many of the permanent 100 army sta

New York. Dec. 2S.-The most salient
characteristics of the stock market Of yes
terday were again present in today's
dealings, though to a lessened extent. To-
days market was also broad and very act
i've and 1t showed in the main good un-
dertone. The fact that 1t did not advance
with the uniform rapidity witnessed yes

fact that 1t held its own SO well as 1t did
| The realization of profits was again In
progress in, immense volume. hut there
was nowhere any appearance Of concerted

! the noted profit realizing sales came al
most wholly from the continued purchases
of commission houses.
The professional board room traders took
quite an aggressive position upon the bear
side of the market. alleging disappoint-
| ment at the showings made by the West
ern Vanderbilt lines, and they also derived
some inspiration from the days advance
in the rates for call loans. With only
/ three business days remaining before the
close Of the year, 1t, was to be expected
that the call loan market should work
somewhat closer but 1t was significant
that the time loan division of the money
market was not. affected in any way.
The enormous disbursements of January

of money, and 1t was owing to this that

Vanderbilt lines, there were other state
ments OF earnings submitted of which that
of the Burlington and Quincy was the most
interesting.
The company increased its surplus. after
charges, in November, by over S237 200,
which is gain OF nearly 40 per cent as
compared with last year. AS regards the
other features of the situation, the grain
market halted along with the stock mar
ket, though enormous exports Of both
wheat and corn were reported for the day
The foreign exchange market was shade
easier and an advance OF 25 cents a ton
in anthracite coal at Buffalo and Chicago
was announced with salutary effect upon
the stocks directly concerned.
The London market for American stocks
was again strong and active, notwith stand
ing the high rates of 1896 per cent
prevailing there. On balance foreign
houses were fairly large buyers OF stocks
in this market. For the most part, the
highest prices OF the day were made at or
near the opening OF business. and subse
quently the markets tendency was a sig
ging one.
The initial dealings were much less ami
mated than yesterday. but the trading con-
tinued active throughout the day. and the
total transactions fell away but little In
consequence. In the granger shares the
net losses on the day averaged about one
point The Union Pacific shares and the
Industrial stocks reacted rather sharply.

called at the hotel Office and, accompanied
by Mr.. De Alley, returned to the room of
Bell. Mr.. De Alley forced. the door oLen
