GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE
sashes Worn by Army Surgeons and Their
History.

sashes Worn by Army Surgeons and Their
History.
A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
1t Is not so much an insignia of rank as
it is protection to the wearer Accord
ing to the code of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To DELHI
erately shoot surgeon while he is
wearing his sash is considered viola.
tion of tho code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons of
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army if it is posi-
BILE for them to do SO. During the civil
war it was often the case that after a
battle the field hospitals would contain
almost an equal number Of men dressed
in blue and gray. The Federal army
had the best surgeons and the best
stores, and wounded Confederate con-
sidered himself in great luck if he was
removed to Federal hospital to be
cared for by Federal surgeons and ply
sicians.
But III the heat Of battle a green sash
is not much protection, and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But this
did not keep the surgeons at the rear
until the battle was over. They were
often found in the thick of the fray,
dressing wounds and sending the wound
ed to the rear. Theirs was Il perilous as
well as noble duty, and they perform
ed it we'll. Omaha World Herald.

THE MARKETS.
wan street Review

New York, May 2j.-On the Sstock eX
change today the market was irregular
An early reaction did not go far and was
checked by the vigorous support and
stimulated rise OF Il number of the lea l.
ing specialties including Manhattan and
Metropolitan Street railway on revived
rumors of consolidation Sugar, Peoples
Gas and New Jersey Central were all
strong and sustained the market. Most
of the Wander bilt stocks and a number
of the trunk lines and cOalers developed
strength, but the railroad list rs whole
continued very sluggish. The sudden de-
mand proved very light and prices
dropped and the bears were thus encour-
aged to more vigorous measures TO bring
about n decline. This they succeeded N
doing in Metropolitan Street railway, To-
baCCo and one or two other specialties.
Declines in these stocks ranged from to
4 points and in some of the railways cX-
tended to a point. No general liquidation
was induced, however, and there was
some covering at the decline so that the
market rallied and closed dull and firm.
Manhattan showed good resistance and
retained a good part of its advance. In
the railroad list some of the Vanderbits
and the coalers also closed higher. 9th
erwiSc net losses were the rule. Total
sales of stocks today were 37O,6Oo shares.

BOATS LADEN WITH GOLD.
A Big Corgo OF Precious Metal from
the kIondikp.

San Francisco, Cal, May 25.-Before
the declaration of war by congress, the
news from Alaska was awaited with
keen interest, and every fresh strike
increased the desire of prospectors to
start as soon as the Yukon river navi-
cation opened. Now reports of the
richest strikes receive little attention,
and it looks as though the expected
rush to Dawson City and other places
on the river will not take place.
The latest reports show that on
Little Manook creek, on the. Yukon,
halfway up to Dawson, rich placers
have been struck, and that this new
district will pield $1,000, 900. What the
springs sluicing OF the Klondike will
produce is uncertain, burt the first
steamer is pretty sure to bring to San
Francisco more gold than has been re-
ceived here on any vessel for many
years.

The International Law Association
VIII Not Meet at Saratoga,

Philadelphia, May 25-The Interna-
tional Law association, composed OF
leading European jurists, will not send
delegates to this country to meet their
American brethren of the bar this
year. The association had accepted
the invitation of the American Bar as
sociation to hold its biennial meeting
at Saratoga in August, in connection
with the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can association, and a large number Of
foreign lawyers of distinctions were
expected to be present. Today Francis
Rawle, of this city, treasurer of the
American Bar association, received a
cable message from Mr.. phillimore
secretary Of the International Law as
sociation, stating that it will be impos-
sible to hold the conference. Apparent
ly the cause of the change in their
plans is the existence of the war with
Spain, and as a possible feeling that, as
the International associations is for the
discussion Of International subjects, they
should not meet on the territory of
either belligerent. The cablegram
reads as follows:
London, May "a. 1S9S.-Rawle, Philadel-
phia: Regret impossible to hold proposed
conference. Please cancel arrangements
