It Is tc be feared that recent horrible
example has operated already TO demorslize
the military spirit aad to decompose ideas
of good order and discipline in this eoun-
try. We are grieyed to learn that the ca
diets Of Afabama's Military University are
in open rebellion, have barb-wired the en-
frances to their barracks. and are even
now ieaving chunks Of coal at their faith
full ard devoted pastors and masters The
cause of the revolt IS understood to be a
slight difference between the faculty and
the battalion on the subject Of drills The
occasion may be small. but results are Sc
rious and even alarming. Those in author
ity should not hesitate for a moment at
drastic measures. They should promptly
arrest the ringleaders, bring them before
a eourt-martial, require them TO read
statements denouncing the president and
professors and calling them Tars-includ-
ing the camp Iatrine specifications de-
nanded by the regulations-and then grant
their requests, promote them, and give
them any leave they want on account OF
mitigating circumstances" Only in this
way. probably. can peace be restored, and
the offenders pIacsted. The way it is done
IN the regular establishment ought TO be
good enough for military colleges in States.

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

Nellie McF7enry scored a complete sue
cess in ~Msliss" at the Academy of Music
last night, if the generous applause Of the
we'll filed house is any criterion. Al
though, of course, she was the star and
consequently has the most attractive role
in the play. nevertheless the supporting
company was a good and well balanced
one and shared an the favors Of the audi
ence. After the death scene in the sec
end act when Miss adopted father dies
and at the close of the third act when
John Gray, the schoolmaster. makes 3 tru-
" meiedramatie eseape from his enemies
the applause was 20 generous and pro-

the sketch OF the -Four CohaEs. in which

their good comedy work. The sketch is

John Kernen has not fallen into the
ways of the average irish comedian, lor
he brings some new material IN his

so well that ne is compelled to take an

best acrobats that have been seen On The

act is an excellent one. The Olympia

Of comedy in the Independent CoIored

be fully as well pleased were they to sing
more, for they are remarkably good Yo-
ealists. Fake and Semon's musical Of

STOCK MARKET
 NEAR STAGNATION Distress on Part of Speculative
 Interests. DAY DEVOTED TO SELLING The Reduction of Bank of England Rates of Discount Was Expect ed and Produced Little Effect
 in the United States
DAY DEVOTED TO SELLING

New York May 24.-Interest was still further constricted in the stock market this morning, and the market had fallen near the point of stagnation when premo- nitary symptoms began to appear of dis tress on the part of some speculative in- terests. The market sold off sharply on larger volume of dealings than for some time past. This was explained soon after noon by the announcement of the suspen- sion of Prince Mccormick & Co.,, which was manifest on the cotton exchange and soon afterwards from the rostrum of the stock exchange.
 According to the rule of the exchange the suspension was followed by the closing of outstanding contracts of the suspended firm on the floor of the exchange. The rest of the day was practically devoted to this selling and buying under the rule, their operations being almost entirely given over.
 The reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount was expected and pro- duced little effect either in the London stock market or here. Rates for money continue very easy, and the passage today of checks for $35, 100000 through the clear ing house for the Third avenue bond pay ment caused not exen ripple. The pro- ceeds are supposed to have been promptly redistributed among the banks
 In view of the foreign exchange situation and outward movement of gold much in- terest attaches to the question whether Liverpool will buy cotton heavily after to- days severe break, while the Liverpool ex- change was closed owing to a holiday. A feature of the day was that of a sale of Standard Oil in the outside market at 566, compared with $50 yesterday, which was then the highest price on record.
 The bond market was exceedingly dull and changes were mixed. Total sales, par value, $1,360000. United States As advanced 2s and the 5s, new, coupon, 4s and 3s cou- pon A, and the 2s IS in the bid price.

 The action of the Bank of England in re- ducing its minimum discount rate from to 31h per cent hardened the markets here but failed to increase business. The Cath olic bourses were closed on account of As tension day observances and the provin- cial changes had a half holiday because of the queens birthday.
 Americans were more idle than they have been for years and fractionally off on New York offers of stock. The bank bought f50,G00 gold in bars and got part of the Australian parcel of f1S0,0OO.
