Army Report.

Surgeon General Sternberg has made
his annual report to the secretary of
war. He says the health of the army
has been unusually good during the
calender year 1900. The admission
rate to hospitals for all causes in the
army-volunteers and regulars, with a
mean strength of 1O0,389 in 1900. was
2311.S1 per 1000 of strength, as COM
pared with 2178.06 in the previous
year, but during 1899 only SO, 2SO men
out OF total of 105,546 were serving in
the Philippines, while during the past
year 1882 out of a total of 100,3S
were thus serving. In the Philippine
Islands, with a mean strength of sc 1872
the admission rate was 1921. 90, as COM
pared with 1896 so in the previous
year, this increase being mainly due to
sickness among the volunteers. The
regulars. on the other hand, showed a
marked decrease in the ratio of admis-
sion for disease, which fell from
245410 to 2197 10. Two-thirds of the
admissions from disease were caused
by malarial fevers and diarrhoeal dis
eases. The deaths from all causes
amounted to 2S.75 per 900 of strength
as compared with 30.5 in the year
previous. Disease occasion 20.26 deaths
the principal cause being dysentery
which with other internal diseases
gave ratio of 9.0S. The rate from in
jury amounted to $40. The death rate
in China was large, 47.76 per 1000 OF
strength, 1916 from disease and 2414
from injury. Since the close OF the
calendar year 1900, the health of the
troops in the Philippines has been
steadily improving. The health of the
troops in Cuba during the year was ex
cellent. AS a result Of American oc
cupation, nearly every city and town
has had its sanitary conditions i'm
proved.

THE MIRACLE.

The bells of hope to him rang clear,
The pride of youth reigned in his heart
He scoffed at failure, dread, and fear.
Valiant was he to serve his art.
"My pen shall speak to all mankind;
The world shall know my fame" he
said.
He wrote. The world to him was blind,
His message, from its birth, lay dead.
Mature, he labored on in faith,
While kindness took the place of pride;
His dream of fame became a wrath
That Knocked him in the eventde.
"My pen shall speak but to the few
The few that value WORTH" he said.
He wrote. The little world he knew
Spoke fair, but left his words unread
When years had stolen faith and hope,
When fame seemed worthless in his
eyes.
The aged man, a misanthrope,
Forsook his quest of honor's prize.
"My pen shall speak to one alone
I'll write but fer myself" he said.
He wrote. And from his heart the stone
OF failure vanished as he read.
And then a miracle was done.
The thing he wrought for secret store
Went to the world. and one by one
Elusive honors sought his door.
Il wrote the tale my heart found true,
Unmindful of the world" he said.
And as he passed from mortal view
Fame placed her wreath upon his head.
Success.

Cotton Letter.

A. Brittin's Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Go.
 New Orleans, June 25-New features in the cotton market today are entirely wanting. Manipulation of the summer months in New York Is greatly in evil dence and indications accumulate to con- vey the opinion that the battle between the longs and shorts Is to be fought out to a finish. Our market to some degree acts in sympathy in that a demand has arisen here for spot cotton for shipment to New York and delivery against July sales in that city. While some scattered showers have fallen within the past ten days In Louisiana and Mississippi, no general rain has come to relieve the sit- uation In the Southwest where needed and especially so as to relates to South ern Texas.
 The indications still point fairly good for moisture and yet 1t fails of realiZa- tion. With it's coming free selling on the basis of present plane of prices would doubtless follow As 1t Is, appearances indicate that the demand for fall months is pretty we'll satisfied on the basis of current values and continued unfayora ble seasons essential to hold the market.
 The weekly crop summary was con- strued here rather bearish, but to our thinking did not give advantage to either side.
 The leaving off showed gain of s points on July and unchanged on deliver les beyond October.
 Spots are quoted firms and advanced Mc on. sales of 6200 bales including the amount to arrive.

Murphy 0 CO.'S craIn Letter.

Chicago, Juhe 25.-The market opened , quiet and weaker on cables which were lower and there was a sharp decline Paris closed firm.
 The weather was fine for harvesting all through the winter wheat states, clear and hot, and the market slowly sold off AcQ5sc, steadied at the decline and ral- lied. In the Northwest S~re were some rains. A Paris dispatch quoted Score tary Green of the American Chamber of Commerce as saying that present condi- tions indicated very short crops there. Wheat was weak in the afternoon, led by spring wheat markets on fine weather and favorable crop bulletins, closing steady. The official Indiana crop esti- mate was 270.00O. 900, or 64,0O0. 900 bushels more than last year.
 Co-n-There was moderately active trade with prices slightly easier at the start, then an improvement with light offerings The cables were rather disap- pointing but the most important factor was the weather, which was hot and forcing through the great corn states. Yet this did not seem to have a favora- ble effect. Corn was dull and about steady later The crop bulletin showed moderate improvement.
 Provisions-There was very quiet trade again with prices steady both for spring and winter. Clearances are large but mainly through bills.

New York Cotton Futures. By Private Wire to Fl. D. Cothran & Co
Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Com. Co.
 Birmingham, June 25.-Liverpool cables were fully up to expectations. with an advance of two to three points in futures and 1-16d on spots, on sales of 1000 bales, butt New York opened unchanged to lower on the indications of rain in Texas and heavy selling of July. Shortly after the call, however, July offerings were with drawn and a lively scramble of shorts ensued which run this month up twenty nine points, Angst, Il, and October, 8, the latter advancing in sympathy. The bu- reau report, however, was bearishly con strued and caused the whole list to re- cede. The close was three to sixteen points up on the old and one to three points off on the new crop.
 The bull clique has reported that 1t will take all cotton rendered tomorrow, first notice day. Should this happen the policy formerly advised, that of letting these months alone, should be pursued Should the notices not be stopped. a decline may be expected. Later reports today in dicated that Texas was cloudy and that scattering showers were falling as that state is the critical one now and general rains there will be attended by general selling of the new crop positions. How ever, until rain does come, buying on the reactions will likely prove the more profitable policy.

At the opening the market was steady and unchanged to 5 points lower. despite fairly encouraging news from European markets and light foreign buying As the session progressed room traders sold quietly and in the af- ternoon were rewarded by cable from Rio stating that the talk of smaller crop, late yield and refusal of farmers to sell at the low prices prevalent was unfounded in fact.
