THE RETURNED SOLDIER.
Corporal Pfaus Reaches Home and a Date for
q Public Lecture Has Been Arranged.

Rev. Albert Pfaus, former pastor of
the Presbyterian church here, and
more recently corporal Of Company
/, First Montana Volunteers, reached
Lewistown last Thursday after a
long, hard trip from Great Falls.
: The great change IRON the salubri-
Gus climate of the Philippines to
30-below weather in Montana was a
severe strain upon his constitution,
but he is feeling quite well notwith-
standing, and since his arrival has
been kept busy visiting with his
many friends and those interested in
the affairs Of Company |.
Mr.. Pfaus left Manila December
18th and remained INT week at Ma
gasaki, Japan, where he wasenabled
to get a glimpse OF Japan life and
make some purchases, though the
latter were very limited, for after serv-
ing at $l5.60 per month a man has
little left to invest in curios. His ac-
count OF the experiences of the boys
is very entertaining, but not wishing
TO anticipate him we will serve a
resume Of his story until he shall
have had an opportunity to address
the public, which has been arranged
by the ladies OF the Presbyterian
church for Tuesday evening next.
At this time at Culver's hall Mr..
: Pfaus will lecture on the subject OF
the Philippines and his address will
be OF ever greater interest because of
his familiarity with the locality OF
the recent conflict, when one of our
brave boys was killed and another
wounded.
- The lecture will be in the nature Of
a benefit for the Presbyterian so
ciety and an admission OF so cents
for reserved seats and 80 cents for
general admission will be charged.
Thursday evening Of this week
Mr.. Pfaus will participate in the
I regular mid-week services at the
Presbyterian church, when he will
confine his remarks to the religious
aspect OF the Philippine question.
OF his future plans the clerical cor
poral is not prepared to make an
nouncement, but it is hardly prob
able that he will remain in Lewis
town more than a fortnight.
OF one matter in which he is very
much interested we are requested to
speak. While In camp at Manila
nearly every member OF Co. |, and, In
fact, the entire regiment, thirsted for
reading matter, and while the boys
may now be more engrossed in fight
ling than i'm doing tiresome guard
duty, nevertheless Mr.. Pfaus will en-
deavor to supply this want and re-
quests that any n who may have
magazines or periodicals which they
can spare will notify him and he will
see that they are at once shipped to
the authorities, to be given to the
members of the company and regi.
ment. Mr.. Pfaus says that while he
was there reading matter was SO
scarce and time so plentiful that he
80
actually committed to memory sew
.eral columns OF advertisements, a
striking proof OF the necessity for ad.
ditional books and papers.
The gentleman's lecture will be in
: teresting to all, and the hall will
doubtless be pressed to its full ca
: pacity.

HARDWARE DESTROYED.
San Francisco Fire Burns $500, 900
Worth of Property.

San Francisco, March S1.-The whole
sale hardware house of Miller, Sloss &
Scott was almost entirely destroyed by
fire tonight, the total loss being esu-
mated at about 100000. The firm oc-
cupied four-story and basement orlcK
building at 1922 Fremont street, near
Market, and carried one of the largest
and finest stocks of hardware on the
Pacific coast. The origin OF the nre is
unknown. 1t was first discovered IN the
TOD story, and within a short time the
entire building was enveloped in names.
Almost the entire fire department was
soon at the scene, and by hard work
succeeded in combining the confiagration
to the structure in which il originated.
The building was located in the heart
of the wholesale business district, and
for a time great alarm was felt, lest
the flames should spread 10 other es-
Establishments in the neighborhood. The
stock of hardware on hand was valued
at $500 900, and was insured for 1886, 900.
The building was owned by w. S. Foy,
and was worth about $4,000. 1t is all
nosl a. total loss. as it will have to be
rebuilt before being again occupied.
The loss of Miller, Sloss & Scott is not
far from S350,000. The firm is incorpo-
rated and employed 12S men. It's pres
ident is C. E. Miller, and the other di-
rectors are A. l. Scott, A. W. Multi
gan. Joseph Sloss and Leon Sloes.
other losses include that of the Pa
cific Paper Box factory, estimated at
s15. 900. and the Hicks-Judd company,
about Sc, 600.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
San Juan, Porto Rico, March "a
new political party has been born
1.-THE Republican party of Porto Rico.
Though the party was organized by
the radicals under the leadership of
Manuel Rossey, it has for its object the
association of all political elements ON
this islands, and they have agreed upon
a platform which is pronounced fault-
less in its Americanism. the PLATFORM,
in part, is as follows:
THAT it is the highest duty of every
citizen to uphold the integrity OIL the
country and the laws of the land, Ihat
we pledge ourselves as men, anlmateu
by a common cause, aiming at COM
mon object, to do all in our power Tor
our government. We endorse and COM
mend the able, patriotic and true
American spirit manifested by Hon
William Mckinley, president of the
United States, in releasing us from the
misrule of Spain, and we pledge our
faithfulness to adhere to the new prln-
ciples of our new country and have for
our aim harmony, untty and good gov
eminent, delying with confidence upon
the hope of a speedy settlement OF our
national affairs.
THE name of our party shall pc Inc
I'VE declare our sineere loyalty to the
American flag and American ideas and
hereby pledge ourselves to strive to be-
come worthy Of the great nation OF
which we are part.

Dor; express devotion 10 liberty OF

ing the freedom of the press, and dep
recate any union of church and State
Free schools and the teaching of Eng
lish are demanded. A change in the
present system of taxation and Tree
trade between Porto Rico and the Unit
ed States are advocated. The exchange
of the provincial money for money OF
the United States is advocated on
gold basis, las it is right and proper
that every dollar, paper or COM, lsSueu
by the government, be as good as any
other" The establishment Of am Amer

platform concludes thus:

emblem of liberty, and will lend every
effort TO advance civilization, to teach

and honor Washington. Lincoln and

party that the name Republican is

It is understood that General Henry

Boston, March S1.-The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool

dispelled by the increase in sales and de-
crease in receipts 10 date from 1898 More

and not only the dress goods but the
trust mills have been buying leeces and
territory.
The fact that warehouse men are solicit
ing wool for storage and that most OF the
public warehouses are bare of II IS good
evidence that the big stock of 1897 wool
stored by mills has at last been consumed.
The sales of the week are 3,O3S.O Oo pounds
domestic and $4,000 pounds foreign, total
of 600 pounds, against 2.Slg,OO1 pounds

marked by the return to New York of
the funds which, on the completion of
April disbursements, will no longer be
required there. Among the incidents
which contributed to increase the bull
ish feeling was the fact that the Feb
ruary revenue statements of a number
of important railways, while exhibiting
decreases in net earnings, fail to show
such heavy losses as have been eX-
pected, and upon which more or less
bearishness, principally in connection
with the granger stocks, had been
based during the preceding fortnight.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Money Stringency Failed to Check
the Bull Movement.


New York, March S1.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Expectations of a more active and
higher money market We're verified,
call loans having touched u per cent
this week. while much of the borrow
ing of money at the stock exchange
has been at 5 TO per cent. These
tendencies, however, have been no OBJ
stacle to the development of q strongly
bullish speculation in stocks, with ad-
Vances in different parts of the list
carrying prices in some instances to
the highest levels yet reached.
The leaders in this movement were
the Vanderbilt stocks, together with
certain specialties and industrials,
though other portions of the market
were more or less favorably affected.
Signs O. active manipulation by large
interests were abundant. but the fact
that the market had taken an upward
course, and that leaders of Wall street
were quoted as saying that fears about
money Wee needless. had a decided
effect or he speculative public. Com
mission houses were large buyers, and
the daily volume Of transactions swol-
len as it was by the increased public

succeeding days. This evidently in
VolVed the transfer Of large holdings
OF stocks into the hands of marginal
spectators and prepared the market
for a reaction. Money naturally be-
came harder, and as the end Of the
month drew near, and the fact that the
stock exchanges are closed on Friday,
created a disposition to wait on
Thursday money rose to u per cent,
while the news Of the troubles at Sa-
moa caused some temporary fears of
internal complications. The result was
a decline which, in some stocks, al
most took the form OF breaks. though
before the day ended the leading ma
nipulated stocks We're rallied sharply
and the close was generally steady at
a recovery.
London has shown a disposition to
purchase the Vanderbilt stocks and
other specialties, but has not been a
permanent factor in the speculation
here. Our market has disregarded the
decided advance in foreign exchange
rates, and attributes the rise of de
mand sterling to preparations for the
remittance of $4,000, 600 which the
United States treasury is to pay to
