EXHIBITION DRILL
PICTURESQUE SPECTACLE PLAN
NED FOR DEXTER AVE.
Infantry Companies to Manoeuvre
in the New Extended Order.
Sham Battle at Ball
Grounds.

Preliminary arrangements were made
yesterday for an exhibition extended
order drill on Dexter Avenue and Skin
mish drill and sham battle at the ball
park to be participated in Jointly between
mephers of the Montgomery Gerys and
Blues.
The extended order drill will be given
on some afternoon of next week, at $3.50
in order that all members of the two
companies may take part after business
hours.
The exact date of this exhibition drill
will be announced later
1t is intended that the first drill shall
give the people Of Montgomery an idea of
the extended order and skirmish evolu-
lions of a troop to arouse interest in the
skirmshe drill and sham battle which is
to follow at the hallpark.
In the ball part 1t Is proposed to build
a sort of fertilization near the south fence
which Is to be defended by detach-
ment from the Blues and Greys.
The Notifications will be the object OF
an attack by the remaining members of
the two companies.
The extended order or skirmish drill
which is to be illustrated in the attack
on the Notifications is perhaps the most
in ,portant feature of the army tactics of
the United States.
1t is used to Offset the destructiveness
of the modern firearms.
In the face of the modern rifles to adj
vance in close formation Is to invite des-
truction. At the distance of mile or
even more the rifles used in any army
could literally NOV down a oody Oh
troops aligned in close rank
1t was because of this failure to APP
preciate this fact that the British losses
were so disastrous in the early days OF
the Boer war.
In the service of the United States army
no one thing so is insisted upon as con-
tinued practice in extended order move
ments The old close formation move
mcnts in times of war are almost entirely
neglected in the training of the troops in
the skirmish drills.
The principles of the movement were
trained into the Alabama troops as we'll
as in all volunteers and regulars during
the Spanish-American war
The open order drills are insisted upon
now at all practice camps of the Natlonal
Guards. +.
The Montgomery troops are well up in
tho drill and they gave an instructive
special exhibition of it at Camp Foster
In the proposed drill and sham battle
at the ball park blank cartridges VIII
be used and the exhibition will be as
near the real thing as mimic warfare can
make it.
A joint meeting of the two companies
will be held some day during the latter
part of the week at which the final ar
rangements for the exhibition will be
made.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
CONFIDENCE IN FALL TRADE
NOT DIMINISHED.
Crop Conditions, Particularly as to
Corn and Cotton, Have Further
improvisation and Steel
Continue Their Activity.

New York, July 25.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Crop conditions, particularly as to corn
and cotton. have further improved. and
the confidence in fan trade shows no d.
minution, but rather an increase. the
best advices come. as heretofore. from
the Northwest and Southwest Weather
conditions in the East have been de-
pressing to trade in seasonable goods, and
fall trade in dry goods promises to be
late. as heretofore indicated in this col
umn. A further improvement is, how
ever, noticed in shoes and leather and
wool is again higher in price. despite
manufacturers holding back buying.
Among the industries iron and steel
are easily first in activity, and relief from
the so-called pig iron famine is sought in
freer importations. The fruit season is
now in full swing and sugar consumption
is at its full and promises to be very
heavy. Anthracite COAL stove sizes, has
reached the pinnacle, produce Is still
high. despite iattering crop prospects,;
oats have suffered the predicted squeeze
and passed the highest price of gen.
grafton, range cattle and Texas hides
have surpassed all records and fine to-
bacco has also reached the best in record
quotations
On the other hand. the cereals. cotton
and hog products rejecting the improved
crop reports. are lower Coffee. though
galvanized by speculation, drags painful
ly owing to existing large stocks and
good Brazil crop conditions.
Railroad earnings show gains of over
per cent. so far for July, and bank
clearings have begun to show the gains
earlier predicted over last years totals,
reduced as they were by hot weather and
drought effects on speculation.
With pig iron consumers clamoring for
supplies, the balance of this years pro-
duction already booked and free buying
for the first half of next year at only 81
per ton less than at current rates and
foreign iron imports large, the iron and
steel trade in the cruder forms possesses
exceptional elements of strength. Buyers

of structural are engaging far ahead.
steel mill orders are large and bar and
sheet sales are large, though not as
heavy as last week. In hardware the
activity is notable and the change of
season appears to bring no let up in the
demand.
Tin and copper have weakened under
freer offerings.
Wool Is not especially active, but is
held higher at leading Eastern centers
Some improvement IS noted among New
York dry goods jobbers, but the feeling
grows that the season Will be rather
later than usual.
Cotton goods are practically unchanged
in price. Reports of Southern mills I'M
der bidding Fall River for print cloths
attracts some attention.

ing they did not want any more camp al
Sans Souci. They found 1t altogether
foo lonesome The camp was far from
Mobile and there was no place for the
soldiers to visit and no diversions OF any
sort Out of this fact grew the dissatis-
faction of the soldiers with the camp on
the beach.
The surroundings were naturally pleas
ant The water was good, the purest
artesian. The camp was cooled by sea
breezes and the shade was all that coulo
be desired. Under the discipline Oh Colo
mel r. B. DuMont the camp was strictly
military and instructive ,
The Dothan company was highly elated
over the record which they made on the
others in rife shooting. Lieutenant J.. J.
Crazy of Dothan proved to be tho best
marksman in the LIST and he made score
of 50 out of a possible 100. 1t was an
nounced that Colonel DuMont would pre-
sent him with a gold medal as the best
Individual marksman.

POLICE PROTECT KITCHENER.
The General Assailed by a Mob OF
Admirers,

London, July 25.-Lord Kitchener, who
has been largely lost from public view
since his triumphal re-entry into London
July 12 received an unexpected demon
stration of London enthusiasm today
when a cab in which he visited the city
was actually mobbed close to the Bank
of England and the conqueror of South
Africa had to be rescued by the police.
Lord Kitchener drove to private bank
near the Mansion House. He was in
stantly recognized and such a crowd col
lected outside that he had to escape by a
side door. He was detected, however,
and drove of amid frantic cheers, which
he smilingly acknowledged with a salute.
While passing through Queen Victoria
Street Lord Kitchener was again recog-
nized. and the cab was held up by a
cheering crowd. The police had to open
a way for the vehicle.

HAS NOT HAD ENOUGH.
Fairbanks Does Not Intend to Re
tire from Politics.

tAIC AAQ1A @OA4b4S8s
indianapolis, July 26.-The Indianapolis
Journal today makes authorized denial
editoriaIly of the statement in New York
newspapers that Senator Fairbanks Is
likely to Fetire from politics at the end
Of his present term in the Senate.
Says The Journal Senator Fairbanks
is a candidate for re-election, and he will
be reelected. The party Is united on
him. In fact. all intelligent men in both
parties realize that Mr.. Fairbanks, has
served the people of Indiana with mark
ed ability and success. The fact that he
is a candidate for reelection is q con-
tribution of positive force to the Repub-
llcans in the campaign. Indeed. The
Journal is warranted in saying that few
men in the Senate are so fortunate as to
approach a reelection with the entire
confidence and unanimous support which
Mr.. Fairbanks is receiving from his party
in Indiana. His candidacy insures the
utmost harmony in the party ranks"

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
L. & N. officials Come South for Sup
posed Conference.

Important developments In railroad
circles are shortly looked for.
Yesterday morning President Milton H.
Smith and Vice President Hines OF the
Louisville and Nashville came south or
train No. /, Mr.. Smith stopping in Birm-
ingham where he spent the day, and Mr.
Hines coming on to Montgomery. arriving
here at 11:15 a. m.
What the visit Of these two officials
means remains to be seen-two important
things being up in Louisville and Nash
Vile circles just now.
One of them is the free drayage fight
that the Louisville and Nashville. South
ern, Illinois Central, etc, are mixed up
in.
The other is the merger of the Louis
Vile and Nashville with the Southern,
and it is thought that this last is what
brought Mr.. Hines to Montgomery.
