New York, July 1S.-The bull party
desistad from the efforts to advanc
prices to-day and the recent appear

promptly gave place again to some thins

was not severe as the recent profession
hold their purchases for a better oppor-

that the recent demonstrative buying
by the bull party has failed utterly to
sources, so that no market is offered for
the taking of profits. 1t Is not difficult
under these circumstances, of the SELL
ing out of recent speculative purchases.
Apparently the principal reason for the
cessation of bull manipulation was the
demonstrated futility Of the attempt to
attract outside buying The market
also lacked an available stock leader
on which to center bull operations The

ton OF the money needs of foreign

some and valuable souvenir.
The sword was sent by Mrs. Rock
well, who row lives in Aiken 8. c., tc
Major Spencer, together with sword
! which Surgeon Rockwell himself car
| ried during the war. 1t was her desire
to have both swords preserved by Clark
commandery. In a letter to Major Spen-
Ger she says that at the battle of An
| tietam her husband assisted in caring
| for q wounded confederate officer who
had been left a prisoner in the Union
lines. 1t was necessary to amputate
the officers leg and DR.. Rockwell per-
formed the operation. Notwithstanding
the careful attention which the confed-
crate received he died Before his death,
however he gave the sword to DIR.
Rockwell to show his appreciation of
his kindness and attention. The doc
tor cherished the gift till his dying day
and his widow has preserved it till now,
when she turns it over to the Clark
commandery to be hereafter preserved
by the knights.
At the .ime Of the battle of Antietam
DR.. Rockwell was not a Knight Tenn

of the confederate officer is not known
or else his friends would have been COM

the opinion that the confederate officer
must have belonged to one of two com
manderies Of Knights Templars which
were in Virginia at the time of the war
Having no other sword at hand it is
the majors opinion that the officer girt
on the sword of his commapdery
Major Spencer thinks there may be
some mistake about DR.. Rockwell's car
rying the other sword during the war,
as that kind of sword was not then in
service. He believes that the sword was
carried by DR.. Rockwell while he was
surgeon general on General Hawley's
staff after the war. He has written to
Mrs. Rockwell and suggested that if
there is proper place in the Bronson
library for keeping such relics it would
be the proper place to keep the sword
in which the general public as well as
knights Templars have an interest. It
is probable that the disposition of the
sword will be made while the Knight
Templars' sword will be kept by Clark
oommandery.

Antietam to DIR. Philo G. Rockwell,
surgeon of the Fourteenth Connecticut
Volunteers, and afterward mayor of
Waterbury. has been sent by the Wild
ow of the ex-mayor TO Major Frederick
A Spencer of this city to be given to
Clark commandery, X. t. of which the
late Mayor Rockwell was charter
member. The relic is hardly more in
teresting because of its known history
in the war Of disunion than to the touch
of mystery attaching to it because of
the BIS nee of all knowledge of its con-
federate owner and the reasons which
induced him 20 carry the weapon OF
peace into a bloody conflict, The sword
is of the usual Knight Templar design,
though somewhat ancient. The hilt is
of silver plate and the blade bears i'm
bedded in it the distinguishing red cross
of the order. The weapon is rather
heavier than the swords now in use by

The sentence was imposed Friday. and in

Major Sylvester yesterday morning In an

an eleven year-old boy In the abdomen
and robbing him OF s1.25.
When he appeared in court Blanchard
announced that he was possessed of hyp-

acquiesced to a request that an oppor-

OUR INSULAR POSSESSIONS.
Mr. Ross Views Upon Their RcIa-
tions to This Government.

Mr.. Ross of Vermont. in accordance with
previous notice, delivered an ..ddress in
the Senate yesterday on the subject Of the
| Philippines The text of the subject on
which he spoke was a resolution introduced
by him a few days ago, declaring that the
provisions Of the Constitution do not, un-
aided by act of Congress. extend over Porto
| Rico and the Philippines; that the United
States take sovereignty over Porto Rico
and the Philippines unrestrained by the
provisions of the Constitution, and that the
successful discharge of this duty demands
the establishment OF separate department
of the Government to take charge of all
outlying dependencies of the United States.
and the passage of a general law making
appointments therein non-politicai.
This was Mr.. Ross first speech since he
entered the Senate, and was largely legal
and constitutional discussion of the sew
oral questions involved.
He said he did not propose to discuss
what relations the United States sustained
TO the islands. further than to observe that
the ceding power had imposed no condi-
lions, or reserved any rights. defined and
secured by the Constitution, TO the inhab-
itants of those islands. They had not
been guaranteed the rights of citizenship
regarded as citizens OF the United States.
Only by act of Congress could these rights
be conferred upon them.
Il think" said Mr.. Ross the United
States, upon the surrender of sovereignty
over the Island OF Cuba by Spain, imme-
ditely following the signing of the proto-
col, took sovereignty over the island, not
as her own, nor for her benefit. nor for the
people of the United States. but for the in
habitants of the island. for the specified
and particular purpose of pacification of
the island. What is meant by the paciica-
tion OF the island may be difficult TO de-
termine.
1T is urged that this nation should an
nounco the policy OF its purpose in the adj
ministration Of sovereignty.
The successful solution of this problem
demands accurate knowledge of the pres
ent conditions of the entire population and
o. the different classes, OF their respective
habits, customs, and laws. The second step |
to be taken is TO remove all civil appoint |
ments in the islands from the realm of |
politics.
1t is also true that the laws and Gus |
toms now prevailing must neither be push |
ed one side nor changed too suddenly. |
They must be perIneated gradually by the |
loaven of civil and religious liberty until |
the entire population is leavened.''
