spect to the reburial of the Confederate

with the requirements of a special act

ton of $500 for marking the new graves
with headstones.
Soon after the law took effect opposl-
ton was manifested toward it's provis-
ions by the representatives of certain
Confederate organizations. The result
was that the authorities suspended action
in the matter.
Considerable correspondence then took
place between the officials OF the War
Department and ladies representing GER
tain Confederate organizations at Rich
mond and elsewhere.
A few days ago Secretary Root instruct
ed the quartermaster general to carry out
the law, at the same time informing all
the parties interested of his action.

ed in this matter on representations made
by Senator Cockrell.
1t is further stated that the action of
the department is in line with President
McKinleys policy of giving the same care
and attention to the graves of the Con-
federate dead as is given to those who
fell on the Union side. In a telegram to
the quartermaster general Mrs N. V.
Randolph of Richmond protested against
the proposed action in the name of the
women of Virginia" and added:
I'VE have no right to place our dead
against the protest of the G.. A. r.
In reference TO this II said that no pro-
test has been made by the G. A. r.

terious. The persons entered banks with

Pekin, April 80, Tuesday-F'ield Marshal
Won Waldersee, in the letter which he
sent to the ministers to-day as the reply
of the generals to the views of the minis
ters regarding military questions, says a
garrison of six thousand men should be
left at Tien Tsin and the adjoining dis
trict, Great Britain, France, Germany and
Japan TO contribute fourteen hundred men
each, and Italy to contribute four hundred
men. To garrison Shanghai Kwang
France, Russia, Great Britain and Ger
many are to contribute three hundred
men each, and Italy one company until
the forts are razed. So long as any forces
occupy Chinese territory the foreign mill
tary commanders must exercise the full
authority of a civil administration, ac-
cording to the principle established at
The Hague in 1899. The Chinese may re-
main in office, as in the case of Pao-Ting
Flu, and partly, Tien Tsin.
Beside the 5000 men in Tien Tsin dis
trict, warships, which must always be in
the Pei Ho will preserve communication
with the international feet at Taku.
To allow this administration to depend
in any respect on the mandarins would be
an utter impossibility. Frictions would
arise Immediately which would lead to
difficult conflicts, which will be better
avoided.
When the troops at Tien Tsin are re-
duced to two thousand by the granting
of possibly a quarter of the concessions.
then the question of an absolute Chinese
administration may be considered.
A Commander-in-Chie
The creation of a chief command in de-
sirab.e for purely military reasons, as in
cases of disorder or troubles of any kind
military measures will be required. These
measues must take place where these
troubls occur and the authority of the
commander-in-chief must also extend to
the legation guards at Pekin.
Concerning the question of evacuation,
opinions were divided. The British, Jap
anese and German commanders were of
the opinion that the evacuation could not
commence until China had accepted the
prescribed conditions and paid the total
indemnities.
Dangers of Hot Season.
The question of evacuation is most diff
cult, on account of the approaching hot
season, which is very injurious to the
health of the troops and which also will
increase the costs of the war indemnity
immensely, result in the loss of hundreds
of soldiers and probably mean the reten-
tion of the troops for the winter.
The generals are convinced that 1000
men at Pekin, 1900 at Shanghai-Kwa
and 5000 men on the railroad and alto
gether 1880 men, with the fleets at Taku
and Shanghai will be a fully sufficient
force to compel China to accept the de-
mand for and manner of payment of the

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 5.--Tne holiday III Lon
don today accentuated the dullncss here
and tended to relax the selling pressure,
as London has been a constant seller in
this market of late. The fact that there
is no loan market at the stock exchange
On Saturday also tended to relax the
pressure upon the market. Perception is
growing of the fact that the question
OF the effect of the interior demand for
money upon the stock market has passed
the stage of argument and has resolved
itself into question of how much furth-
er the stock market liquidation may have
to extend. While there has been no,
stringency of money during the week, this
has been due TO the fact that in reducing
their outstanding loans bankers have
been discriminating against industrial
collateral rather than marking up the
ruling rates for call loans. Owing to the
continued firmness OF sterling exchange,
in spite of a larger supply Of cotton bills
this week. relief by gold imports does
not appear imminent. Demand continues
from bankers short of exchange, and ex
perts in that market declare that large
short interest remains to be covered dur
ing November. 1t is said that some fresh
sterling loans have been negotiated this
week. The loan increase in the bank
statement revealed that other forces are
still at work in the credit market which
Offset the stock market liquidation. This
and the renewed pressure against Anal
samated Copper depressed the whole
market.
Money market conditions have con-
tiaued favorable. but the termination OF
the interior demand for currency is
awaited to insure future conditions.
