LADIES OF THE G. A. n. MAY PRO-
VIDE A HOME
SOME PLACE IN THE STATE
Where the Soldiers Descendants
Win Receive Deserving Attea-
tion-Have Lately Required Aid.
Showing tho Necessity Of Such an
Instftutfen-An Interview with
One of the Members.

1t is learned that the ladies of the
g. A. R. Of this city are contemplating
establishing home at some point in
the State for the care OF the mothers,
sisters. wives and daughters OF depart
ed soldiers. Such an institution in the
opinion of the organization has be-
come a necessity, owing to a number
OF cases of destitute circumstances
among the descendants of the soldiers
that have lately required their atten-
ton.
A we'll known lady Of The South Side
who is actively engaged in the work
OF the organization, stated to Reg
lister representative last evening that
the State was greatly in need of such
a home, and that this fact was never
so plainly demonstrated to her than
recently, when lady in very poor cir
cumstances, the mother of a dead SOL
der, applied to her for aid. All the
lady possessed of any value was gold
watch, which had belonged 10 her son,
and though she treasured 1t for this
reason, she suggested that efforts be
made to sell 1t for her She was will
that she might not become dependent
for the time being at least upon any
one. However her suggestion was not
accepted and she was properly cared
for. The informant further stated that
this was not the first case that has
lately appealed to the sympathy of the
organization. and that steps would be
taken with the hope of securing a
commodious and comfortable home
where such unfortunate descendants Of
the soldiers can he continually cared
for.
1t is intimated that the Wheeling
Ladies of the G.. A. r. hope to soon
raise the necessary funds for such a
benevolent institution and that it will
very likely be located in this city.
The movement being of such char
itabe one, win certainly appeal to the
sympathy of the public in general, and
no doubt will receive liberal encour-
agement and support.

The engineering work in London
is admirable and lthe rolling-stock

The middle of August finds London
in the apogee of the season, while the
Exodus of Returning Tourists
ds limited only to the carrying ca
pacity of the outgoing steamers. Mr..
G. A. Gillig, who is an expert at cal
culatlng American travel in Europe,
said to a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press:
1T IS nonsense to talk about 100 900
Americans crossing the Atlantic this
season. Their numbers are always
exaggerated. There Is only a certain
number of transatlantic lines, each
limited to number Of ships of we'll
known capacity. Going over the ques-
ton with a little care l estimate that
there will be about $1,000 Americans
in Europe during the season. The tide
OF travel is western now and until Oc
tober LIST will be tremendous. The
Oceanic took 800 passengers
Wednesday and the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Gross $50 to 300. The fact thar
sc Americans left the Carlton Hotel
that day shows how strong the home
ward procession is
1t is not often that any American res
ident in England secures a place in

Referring to the status of the Chi
nese ambassador here a foreign Office
official said:
The ambassador is still received at
the foreign Office whenever he has any
thing 20 communicate. But the for
eign Office does not regard him as quail
flied now to carry out serious political
negotiations.
The foreign Office has no news from

Count Won 0olms, the imperial COM
missioner for voluntary sanitary work
in China, wrote to Mr.. ]. B. Jackson,
secretary OF the United States embassy
here, recently. thanking him for the
offer of the American hospital ship
Maine, to accommodate the German
wounded and sick in China. In return
Count Won Solms tenders the use of
all the German sanitary arrangements
there to the United States army and
navy.

NO WORD FROM Ii.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-The Chi
nese government has been entirely silent
since the capture of Pekin, except in the
two communications from Ii Hung Chang
and to the present time Minister WI has
received no word responsive to the Amer
lean answer sent TO him by Mr. Adee last
Wednesday Three days have elapsed and
there has been ample time for Ii Hung
Chang to formulate his next move In
the circumstances II is felt that he ac-
cepts the American and German answers
and such others as may have reached
him, as negatlving any present prospect
of negotiations along the lines he pro-
posed, The opinion is expressed that THIS
will prolong the uncertainties of the dip
lomatic situation, during which Earl Ii
will seek to meet the requirements laid
down by the United States and other DOW
ers. while the latter will endeavor to
reach some commin ground of understand
ing for the future.

NEW YORK, August 25.-The Stock
Market is waiting; waiting for absen-
tees to return; waiting for develop
ments in the Presidential campaign;
waiting, in fact, for any event that is
likely to infuse action or influence
values. No change in general condi-
lions can be noticed since our last re-
view.
The Chinese situation is now scarce
ly factor in the market; though it.
might easily again become 50. The al
lies are IN possession of Pekin, and fu-
ture military operations will probably
be chiefly confined to the restoration
OF successful organized resistance on
the part OF the Chinese. AS soon as
responsible heads of government can
be found, diplomacy will succeed force;
and It certainly looks as If the begin
ming Of the end were at hand, al
though thai end may be beyond our
present vision
The money market will bear watch
ing. AT present rates are very easy,
but the surplus reserve is down to 500
100000 compared with $15,000,OG0 this
time last year. There is an abund-
apce of money In the country, and the
treasury IL not likely to be the disturb
ing element that was feared a few
months ago. The interior banks are
also we'll supplied with funds;
but as crop and trails requirements as
sert themselves during the next four
months these will be deple+cd. and the
demand will then fall upon New York
banks. Just now bond redemptions
and Government disbursements contri-
butte to general ease. Gold exports
have ceased for the present, and there
is no anxiety concerning their resump-
ton. Europe has had distinct relief
through American shipments, and now
that the Transvaal war is drawing TO
close and the prospects of war in
China are very remote there is decid
eddy less apprehension in European fin
ancial centres. This is fortunate for
the New York market, as any increase
in the tension over there would GER
tainly have led to a more rapid return
Of our securities, which, if coupled
with close money here later on, would
have effectually checked any bull
movement. Other conditions continue
favorable. The corn crop will be large
and is almost out OF danger. The
wheat harvest is progressing; railroad
earnings are satisfactory, and general
trade shows a reyiving tendency now
that prices are coming down to more
normal basis There is no reason for
taking any but a hopeful attitude re-
garding the future. The Stock Market
however has the appearance OF sag
ging to lower prices, which is the best
thing that can happen TO take it out of
the present stagnant rUt and thereby
create activity, which is now sadly
lacking.
