wise Course of the United states.

Wise Course of the United States.
There is no hesitation in energetical-
ly denying the European implication
that the United States government is
moved in its Chinese course by senti-
mental and unbusinesslike considera-
tions. On the contrary, it is pointed
out that, while sentiment is on the
side OF our government in this matter,
it is accompanied by the soundest bust
ness considerations. The animating
purpose of the state department. now is
to prevent the destruction of Chinese
integrity upon pretexts; to maintain
the open door, for which our govern
ment long has contended, and to secure
indemnities for the past, and guaran-
tees for the future.

Veterans of the Third Army Corps Re-
via3f GettynburR.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, May 22-General
Daniel E Sickles of New York entertained
the visiting veterans of the Sd Army Corps
with interesting "reminiscences of the battle
Of Gettysburg last evening at the campfire
held in the court house. General Sickles
said:
Il have often heard criticisms of my
work during the second day Of the battle of
Gettysburg, but 1 have always held that If
1 had that days work to do over again
would do it In the same way and would use
the same tactics. I am sure that the time
will come when historians will agree with
me in this
This declaration was Endorsed by many
veterans Of the corps who were present
when General Sickles made the fam Gus
move which has been so much criticised
Major Robbins of Statesville, N. c., the
confederate member of the national park
commission. also entertained the veterans
with pleasant "reminiscences of the days
when he was in the confederate service
General Sfckles playfully alluded to Major
Robbins as 1.-The man who shot off my leg
The major said: I'VE in the south got
over the war great deal sooner than you
northerners can understand We were
thoroughly reconstructed long ago. 1t took
the Spanish-American war to show you
that we were truly back in the Union
again"
The veterans today went over the battle
field in carriages, many Of them visiting
the scenes of the Sd Corps famous move
Considerable favorable comment was made
on the work of the park commission in
identifying the battlefield, and the opinion
was expressed that it will be made the
most beautiful one in the world
Tonight the veterans and their friends

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


SpeNtai llspdtcn 10 ne Evening Star,
NEW YORK. May 22-Declines in the
London market varying from " to X per
cent were followed by a weak opening in
the local stock market this morning The
decline did not extend to any material con-
cessions. however. owing to cautious de-
mand from the short interest and few
special movements In the Industrial depart
ment. Early in the day the strength of
American Tobacco attracted attention and
later an urgent demand forced the price
we'll above u, a gain Of about per cent
The short interest and some inside support
were responsible for this movement \

lean Sugar was noticeable during the first
two hours of the session.
The depressing party forced the pric.
from III down to 100 and a fraction and
the opposite account bought actively until
the loss was regained. During the noon
hour it became apparent that the demand
was superior to the selling. and after re-
peated failures to renew the decline the
short interest was forced to cover on a
rapidly advancing market. The execution
or an order for 1900 shares forced the
price up from ITO to 116 Small accounts
We're frightened by the advance, and the
latter price was advanced on beated COW
ering. Rumors of an early settlement of

the advance. The buying during the final
hour was especially good in these shares
and at the highest point of the day.
In the railroad list the movement was
narrow and largely professional Selling
was abandoned in view of the strength In
the shares noted. but there was only a
moderate demand from the short account.
The dullness in the railroad list is only ex-
planned by the failure to persuade the pub
lie into the belief that the bargain time
has come. Banking interests are not ac-
tive and are not predicting activity \
few special movements seem likely when
ever a short interest gets unwieldy in Il
stock of improving merit. For instance,
Atchison preferred is lending at rates
clearly indicating an extensive short ac-
count, and the predicted advance in its div

The strength of Northern Pacific may run
into more pronounced upward movement,
although the increased dividend is less con-
tidently predicted. With the exception of
special movements the larger interests are
disposed to look forward to a duh and I'M

REGARDED AS A Ns1AKE |
DONATION Ofr-s4EREOTYPE PLATES
TO MIR. RICHARDSON.
Views of the Committee on Printing
ON "The Messages and Papers of
the Presidents."

The Senate committee on printing today
made a report of its investigation Of the
compilation and publication of the Mes
sages and Papers Of the Presidents under
the resolution Of April 49, The committee
find that Representative Richardson de-
voted four years to compiling and index
ing the papers.
"It Is not to be doubted" they say. that
his labors were most assiduous and that
they consumed during this period a great
amount Of his time
1t also is stated that he expended So, 800
of his own funds in obtaining assistance
in the preparation of the index. With ref
erence to the claim Of copyright the COM
mittee say that Mr. Richardson does not
claim that it operates against the govern
ment, but only against all other pub
lisherS-that 1t protects the form of the
publication, the illustrations and the origi-
nal matter, though none Of the documents
themselves.
Intention of the Act.
On this point the committee express the
opinion that 1.-The prohibition in the print
ing act was intended to cover every publ
cation authorized by Congress in all pos
sible FORMS and they add that, 'in view
of the debate. it is clear that Congress in
tended to prevent precisely what has hap
book. Your committee think that copy
right should not have issued in behalf of
the messages, and that the law as it stands
is sufficient to deny copyright to any and
every work once issued a government
publication. If the services of any author
or compiler employed by the government
require to be compensated payment should
be made in money. frankly and properly
appropriated for that purpose. and the re-
sulting book or the publication in whole
and as to any part should be always at the
free use Of the people. and this without
doubt was what Congress intended"
Donation of the Plates.
The committee review the donation of the
plates Of the work to Mr.. Richardson. but
they say that this was mistake and
placed Congress in false position.
With reference to Mr. Richardson's con-
tract with Publisher Barcus the committee
pronounce the contract unobjectionable, but
they criticise Barcus' methods as question
abe, leading to the belief that the gov
eminent was identified with the publica-
ton and sale of the books Mr.. Richard
sons receipts have amounted to $11, $50.
In conclusion the committee says that nc
additional legislation is necessary. but they
recommend that in the future Congress
shall net place the control of the plates of
government publications In private hands
Mr.. Richardson Satisfied.
Speaking of the report of the committee
Mr.. Richardson said today:
"lnasmuch as some persons sought to in
volve me with the view Of criticism for
political purposes I am satisfied with the
report and gratified that the committee
took SO broad view as not to permit IT.
self to be used for small political ends
