The Star and the G. A. Fl.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

A word relative to your editorial in Sat-
urday evenings Star on "a Raid on Com
stoner Evans" The word Is not on the
merits Of the issue between the G. A. R.
and Mr.. Evans. 1t has to do with facts
You refer to Mr.. Evans as "a wall between
the public treasury and plundering
schemers," by whom you mean those who
desire Mr.. Evans removal. These are not
as you claim, pension agent Sharks, 1"
but the survivors-more than a millton-of
the grandest army that ever faced foe in
battle. l am conVerSant with the points at
issue In the controversy. l am familiar
with the sentiment of the old soldiers of
this community, and know something Of
the feeling among these men throughout
the country My knowledge is confirmed
and emphasized by contact with their rep
reSentatives at national encampments of
the G. A. R., and l assert that fully nine
tenths of the survivors of the Union army
not only believe that Mr.. Evans should be
superseded, but feel deeply aggrieved that
this has not long since been done. 1 am
confident my assertion would be found to
be under rather than above the fact could
a poll of their candid views be had
Whether these views are right or wrong,
do not wish here and now to discuss. What
I do wish to say, however, is that 1t Is
these men, the veterans of the civil war,
whom you characterize as "plunderng
schemers." From this conclusion there is
no escape. Whether the characterization is
due to ignorance, transformation or mis-
representation does not in the least alter
the fact of it's being an unnamable SIAN

HOW TO AVOID sUNsTRokE.
Several Practical Suggestions for
Ones Conduct I'm summer

From the New York Herald.
Now that the mercury is rising steadily
| toward the top Of the thermometer too
much care cannot be exercised in the
| avoidance Of sunstroke.
The first thing for the feeble and the
anaemic to remember is that they need
tonic. Just what that tonic is may best be
told by the family doctor
Due regulation-also under medical ad-
vice-of the excretory organs is another
most important consideration.
Select your diet with regard to the alb
sence of heating properties.
Take daily sponge baths. Avoid excess
sive exertion.
Sleep eight hours daily. Use an umbrella
when walking in the sun.
Have your outer garments OF material as
light as possible and your underwear of
gauze or linen mesh, which Will facilitate
perspration.
Avoid stimulants
The Red Cross Book" gives these symp-
toms of sunstroke: Headache dizziness,
faintness. seeing double" nausea, weak
ness of the knees. labored, noisy breathing,
groaning, sometimes delirium and convul-
sions pulse full, strong and rapid, face red
and skin Intensely hot TO the touch, the
latter always a marked symptom.
Treatment: Take the patient 70 a cool
place, strip. sprinkle with iced water (com-
mon garden sprinkler is the best thing to
use). Also rub body with ice simulta-
neously. If pulse grows weak give stimu-
lants Avoid the use of whisky. When
temperature falls to i0l degrees discon-
tinue sprinkling. Put patient to bed Cover
lightly; u"e ice bag for head. If tempera-
ture rises again It may be necessary to re-
peat the treatment. During convalescence
keep the patient in a cool room and give q
light stimulating and easily digested
diet.
DR.. Cyrus Edison approves Of these treat
ments and adds that If the heart action IL
bad and faintness comes on aromatic spir-
Its of ammonia-a half teaspoonful in q
wine glass Of water-should be given.
Three or four doses within two hours
should be the extreme amount given. An
tipyretics given to reduce fever are useless
In sunstroke, and harmful in most cases.
ITO relieve the victims OF sunstroke as
quickly as possible is the imperative neces-
sity." says DR.. George F. Shrady. They
should be removed to the shade, the gar
ments should be loosened and cold water
dashed on head and neck. Lumps of ice
wrapped IN cloths are sometimes useful as
local applications and often mild stimu-
latton to maintain proper heat power is in
dicated. Further than this 1t is not sate to
go without medical advice as to particular
requirements. Even before all this is done
a ring for an ambulance may bring further
assistance in time to be available"

"A recent examination Of the City Ma
tional Bank of Buffalo, NaY., made by a

er examiner. to Buffalo to make a careful
re-examination of thefo condition OF the

the controller that the former report was
sustained in all particulars, and thereupon
the controller wired him as follows:
The condition Of this bank is SO seri-
GUS that 1 cannot consent to its reopening
for business Monday morning unless suffi-
Client assets to pay the depesitors In fun
are satisfactorily guaranteed. The bank
Is certainly insolvent, and 1 have no right
under these circumstances to permit the

and l will appoint receiver Immediately
In accordance with the tenor of this dis
patch and reports from Buffalo the con-
bEolleF Has appointed j. vaughan,

Origin of "Yellowhamm

who belonged to Company A of n. b. For

when the company from Huntsville. Ala.
the captain of which was the Rev. ID. c.
Kelly, who became one Of Forests majors.
and which was afterward commanded by
Lieutenant Nance, arrived at Hopkinsville
the officers and men were handsomely uni
formed, and on their sleeves and the tails
of their coats were bits OF brilliant yellow
cloth. Forests troops all turned out to
receive the Alabamaians. As they marched
past us-I was in Company A-Win Arnett,
who was a great wag, cried out at sight of
their yellow trimmed coats: 'Yellowham-
mers, yellowhammers Flicker, flicker

this apt wit and from that moment we
spoke of the Huntsville soldiers as yellow
hammers. term that quickly spread
throughout the confederate armies and was
applied to all soldiers from Alabama. SUBJ
sequently II was applied to the state OF
Alabama, and SO today we have the Yell

Marked Increase During the Last
Calendar Year.

Marked Increase During the Last
Calendar Year.
A marked increase in the trade of the
Philippine Islands during the calendar year
of 1900 over the commerce for the previous
year is set out in a statement made public
today by the division Of insuar affairs of
the War Department.
The value of imported merchandise. gold
and silver, for 1900, is Set down at ST.
765. 100 This, according to the War De-
partment's statement, was the greatest
importation for any single year in the his
tory of the archipelago In 1899 the i'm
ports amounted in value to 500 440,0T4, thus
showing an increase of nearly 80 per cent
in favor Of 1900.
According to an estimate based upon
data collated by the British consul at Ma
Mia, the approximate value of imports into
the Philippines for 1895 was S7.91b, 600; for
1896, SO, ,292, 800 and for 1897, SO, 10000.
During the five years. 1ss7-1s91. the aver
age annual value of imports from the
United States amounted to $13O, 1862; dur
ing the five years. 1S92-1S96. the average
annual imports amounted to $135, ,22S: in
1899 the imports were 81, ,35l 1854, and in 1900,
$2 153. 1893.
The total imports from China and Hong
Kong for 1900 amounted to So, ,536, ,443, and
for 1890, $9,O91, ,6S5.

wheat -four, meat products. cotton manu-
factures and many other articles A large
proportion OF this trade is recorded as i'm
ports from Hong Kong. which are un-
doubtedly re-exported from that port to the
islands
The Imports from the United States direct
for 1900 show an increase Of $SO1 ,344 over
those of 1899, while the imports from Hong
Kong in 1900 show a material decreass
from the estimated figures of 1880.
This would indicate that. as the shipping
facilities in Manila harbor are being i'm
proved, direct shipments to Manila are in
creasing, and that there is corresponding
decrease in the re-exportation of merchan-
| disc from Hong Kong to the Philippines
The imports into the Philippines from the
United States direct in 1900 show an in
crease over 1890 of 80 per cent: from the
| united kingdom, 72 per cent: from Ger
| many, II per cent; from France, 235 per
