Fitting Tribute Paid the Memory of
Lee by Local Troops.

No truer compliment 10 the memory of
the brave and noble Lee could have been
paid than that of yesterday afternoon.
the anniversary of his birth, when all the
military commands in Savannah were rep
resented in the parade, marching in rain
through mud and water and ignoring the
miserable weather in their determination
to testify to their veneration and love for
the Souths great hero.
In view of the bad weather II was a
surprise to many that there should have
been so many men in line Some of the
companies suffered considerably by their
members faHing 20 appear, but many of
them now have their rolls 50 full that
they can afford to parade fifteen or TWEEN
~ men less than are on the rosters, and
yet make an admirable display.
Ten commands Were represented in the
parade. They were the Irish Jasper
Greens, under Lieut.. e. A Leonard; the
Savannai% Cadets, Capt j. T. West; the
German Volunteers. Capt. C.. H. Kone-
mann, the Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
Capt. G. A. Gordon; and the Republican
Blues Capt. W, l.. Graysou. all comDris-
ing the First Battalion, First Regiment,
under Capt. p. f. Gleason of the Gre ems;
a detachment of the four companies Of
u. y. VI
Company A; the Lawton Cadets, undo
Capt. Ralph Meldrim; The Third Division,
Naval Militia, under Lieut.. J. H. kinzle;
the Chatham Artillery, under Capt. g. b.
Walker; and the Georgia Hussars, under
Capt. Henry McAlpin.
The Oglethorps Light Infantry led
all other commands in the num-
hfty-three officers and men. the
Republican Blues ranking next with
hfty-one 1t was remarked that all the
companies had more men than had been
expected, and the applause that greeted
them at several points along the line Of
march testified to the approval Of the
small groups Of spectators who had BRAY
ed tho weather TO witness the parade.
The commands were all formed on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, west of BuI, the march
being in readiness to start at about 4:30.
Col A. r. LAYTON was in command of the
entire body of troops as senior officer in
the city. The command of his regiment
devolyed upon Capt. ]. Ferris Cam of the
Guards, who was senior captain.
,Ponchos were worn by most of the troops
on account of the rain and the rubber
clad soldiers had a look of service as they
trudged along on Bun, Congress, Barnard,
Broughton and Bull again, passing
through che rather thin lines of spectators
drawn up on the sidewalks. 1t is seldom
that so little interest is manifested in
parade, though it was readily attributable
TO the weather, as the many men who
turned out testified to the vigor of the
military spirit at this time
The band of the First Regiment appear
ed on parade. The bass drum had a
split in it that sent forth the widest dis
cord. but otherwise there was no fault to
be found. Prof Leon gave the band his
assistance William Bradley who pounded
the bass drum in the First Regiment band
during the Spanish war. was with the
organization, and was a familiar figure TO
the war members of the regiment.

DID NOT TAKE A HOLIDAY.
City OmciaIs Were at Their Posts as
Usual Yesterday.

Although yesterday was a legal holiday
the officials at the C.ty Exchange did not
take advantage of it. The miserable
weather and the accumulation of work at
the beginning of the year accounted foc
this departure from the usual custom at
the exchange.
The meeting of Council in the afternoon
kept the officials and employees at the
Mayors office at their posts The city
treasurer's force was busy catching up
with the books of the office, and Tax As
SCISSOR Osborne was glad of the opportuni-
ty to get in a little quiet work on the
books of his office. Director Gadsden ana

take a holiday anyway, and just to be So
ciable City Marshal Power remained on
deck with his brother officials, while the
Council meeting kept Col Winn AMI

Try for the Captaincy.

The election of Capt. w. L. Grayson of
the Republican Blues TO be major of the
First Battalion will mean a warm compe-
titior in the company, as both lieuten-

strong with the men, and the preliminary

contested. II is expected that it will be
held on Monday night.
Several of the old members of the COM

Pedestrians in Clark Street yesterday
afternoon witnessed an impromptu museum
attraction on a different side of the thor

tame monkey that has sat with content

ledge of his mistress window, mistook a

He bounded from his station to the big

cries of Joy over the sport.
For a minute or so the exhibition anus
ed the animal more than the few people
who gazed upward at the dangling figure.
Soon the ice, warmed by the monkeys
body, began to melt and the long-tailed
creature found il much more difficult to
cling on. He endeavored to reach his win
dow. but the distance was too great Pig

cries, but She gazing over the ledge. be-

A crowd of men and boys on the other

to tragic ending when he managed to
wind his tail around an icicIe that had
been least affected. Then someone in the
crowd thought OF rescue and hurried for a
fire ladder. Within ten minutes the mon
key was returned to his mistress.

TEE BANK STATEMENT
Stock Traders Disappointed at the
Weekly Showing.
The Increase of Lawful Money Only
The Market Opens Firm With Rail-
way shares Active-Sucar Refin-
ing and Rapid Transit strong.

NEW YORK. April 7.-Today's bank
statement did not fulfill popular expecta-
ton. The increase of one and three
quarter millions in lawful money was only
half as large as the street had been led
to expect from the known movement Of
money The increase of nearly $l3.000.0o0
in the loans was a surprise.
A moderate expansion was looked for be-
cause of greater activity in the stock
marl-et, but comparatively few persons
had taken into consideration the proba-
bility OF heavy borrowings in connection
with the payment of SIS 600, 900 for the
new issue of New York Central stock that
was made Monday.
For the first time in many weeks the in
crease in cash and loans are accurately
reflected in the deposits. AS the increase
in that item calls for more than three and
a half millions reserve, the net results is a
decrease in the surplus reserve Of nearly
81, 600, 900.
Until the statement was made public the
market was strong. London changed its
attitude over night and bought freely.
particularly Of Chesapeake and Ohio. That
and Missouri Pacific were the leaders in
the railway list There was also fair
demand for Southern Pacific on Mr.. Hunt
ington's denial of current reports of
lack of harmony among the larger stock
holders of the company. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit began to respond to the tips that
have been current all the week that the
stock would be advanced. They are doubt
less based upon expectations of increased
earnings as soon as the usual summer
travel over the system begins.
Sugar Refining was also exceptionally
strong on the growing belief that inter-
ests other than the management of the
American Refinery Company will even
tually settle the Improbable war in the
refining industry.
The reactionary tendency in the late
trading was most pronounced in Peoples
