MILITARY SERVICE MEDALS.
Joint Resolution Authorizing Presen-
tation to the Soldiers.

A matter in which all of the army is in
terested, as well as a great many persons
now in the National Guard. or in civil life.
in fact, all persons who served In the Span
ish-American war or Philippine insurrec-
ton. is Senate document No. 3S3, the joint
resolution authorizing the President Of the
United States ito cause medals to be
struck and presented to officers and soldiers
and others who have served in the Spanish
war. ard for other purposes" The navy
has received medals for the Santiago cam
paign. The joint resolution in question re-
wards the army, and at the same time es-
tablishes the principle of service medals for
future campaigns, as well as giving one for
the Philippine Instruction and one for the
China relief expedition.
Further, 1t provides a special medal for
distinguished services not in action, and
which therefore cannot be rewarded with
a medal of honor
This bill was strongly recommended by
the Secretary of War as being one that will
add greatly to the efficiency of the army
and reward notable services. 1t seems to
have been temporarily lost sight Of within
the last few months.

RIGHTEOUS BILL REPORTED.
It's Operation Limited to Contracts
With the Government.


The eight-hour labor bill as amended by
the Senate committee on education and Ia
Dor today was reported to the Senate from
that committee. accompanied by a written
statement of the committees reasons for
its action. 1t is stated that the bill Is SUBJ
stantiaily the same as the House bill. and
that 1t is favored by majority of the SEN
ate committee. The report contains a re-
view of former federal legislation In favor
Of the eighth hour system. and also a sum-
mary of state enactments on the same sub
ject.
A large portion of the report is taken up
with an amendment limiting the operations
OF the proposed law 10 contracts with the
government. This is done to meet the OBJ
lection that the act would apply to work
other than that done for the government In
cases in which the government contractor

gress to extend the eight-hour day. The
majority approves the policy of extending
the eight-hour day, believe its results will

homes OF workingmen will be greater and
brighter. the intelligence of the people in
creased and civilization advanced by such
legislation. A majority OF your committee

rious and careful consideration, Is not
radical, but conservative, and therefore
recommend its passage"

REQUEST FROM VINCENNEs.
That Name Desired for One Of tn,
New Warships,

An eneTgestic delegation from the city Of
Vincennes, Ind, called on Secretary Moody
at the Navy Department today to obtain
promise from him to name one of the
new warships after their city. The dele
cation was composed of T. H. Adams, post
master; Mayor Roush. Mr.. Kessinger, Mr.
Charles Bierhaus. James A. Emison, ]. A.
Matthews and T. r. Shipp
The delegation recalled to Secretary
Moody the fact that the first warship to
be launched in New York for the American
navy bore the name of Vincennes, and
her record was so creditable that they felt
justified in asking that it be perpetuated
in the modern navy.
1t SO happens that there are at present no
unchristened cruisers for the navy in the
shipyards and the rules of the department
would not permit a battle ship to bear the
name of anything less than a state, so that
about the only craft which Secretary
Moody would have chance to name within
the class contemplated in the request of
the delegation would be one of the two
handsome steel training ships. plans for
which have been roughly outlined, which
Secretary Moody has asked Congress to
authorize. The Secretary listened with in
terest to the delegation, and promised to
do what he could to meet their wishes.

Sugar Was the Feature in
Stocks Today.
HELPED WHOLE LIST
MARKET WAS STRONG, DESPITE
BEAR NEWS.
Closing Figures Showed Gains Over
the Last Quotations of
Yesterday.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 20.-American
shares In the London stock market were
quiet, with Union Pacific, United States
Steel issues. Baltimore and Ohio and Atchi-
son fractionally higher. The disposition
there was to restrict dealings until after
the holidays.
In the local stock market the opening was
quiet and somewhat Irregular. but initial
prices averaged fractionally higher than
yesterdays closing figures. Louisville &
Nashville was up q: Norfolk and Western.
"; ST. Paul. Reading and Union Pacific, y
to y better. Baltimore and Ohio, on the
other hand, showed a three-eighths per cent
decline at the start.
After the first few minutes OF speculation
the general list enjoyed little rally, at
tributed to the strength displayed by sugar
which quickly gained over a point and
the strong rally in the Gould southwestern
group, led by Texas and Pacific The United
States Steel stocks, too, displayed a firmer
tone
There was not much animation, though,
In the general list and before the end OF
the first hour of trading prices generally
yielded to realizing and possibly some short
selling.
In this decline st. Paul acted little
heavy. Sugar lost about q per cent
from its early advance, and Texas and
Pacific reacted nearly two points from Its
highest.
The strength In sugar was attributed to
reports that an understanding had been
reached between the cane and beet sugar
interests regarding the Cuban tariff Sues-
ton. The movement in Texas and Pacific
was engineered by one of the Gould brokers
and appeared to be purely manipulative as
there were no rumors Of any kind to ac-
count for the strong advance and the sharp
decline that afterward occurred.
n ha ~ ha NH Tot
ment, which was considered very fair. was
the signal for another attempt to rally the
market. This effort was helped by a re-
newal Of the strength In Sugar. which gain
ed In price q. per cent above the earlier
high figure, the stock touching 129 as
against 125 at the close yesterday. The
general list gained fractionally on some
bidding up Of prices by the traders.
Good Judges OF the situation agree that
the market has gone about far enough In
its recovery from the lower level that OBJ
tafned in the past week or so. They argue
that while the money situation is easier,
there Is as yet no basis in this respect for
a bull movement, and the market is likely
to show less activity next week on account
of the coming holidays.
While there was nothing new In regard
to the Venezuelan matter, II Is still de-
terring influence upon speculative temper,
and clearing up of this affair will be a well
come piece of news to all.
The market closed fairly active at frac-
tionally higher figures than last evening.

WAR CLAIM DENIED.
q. S. Court Decides Against Claim Of
the Eagles Commander

United States Judge Edward B. Thomas.
in Brooklyn. handed down a decision yes
terday declaring invalid a claim Of 81 600. 900
against the United States, entered by Lieut..
Commander William H. H. Sutherland of
the navy. The amount was asked as prize
money. The commander and his crew Of
the Eagle. a converted gunboat, destroyed
the Spanish steamer Santo Domingo during
the Spanish American war. Lieut.. Com
mander Sutherland demanded the value Of
the sunken Spanish vessel and her cargo
the contention being that Admiral Dewey
and his men were granted large booty
prizes in Manila bay for similar work
The government maintained during the
trial of the case that only the sum of 81, 100
could be recovered by plaintiff. The differ
ence between the suit instituted by Com
mander Sutherland and the case of Dewey
and his men is that the Santo Domingo was
grounded and burned on the sands Of south
-ern Cuba. while the ships sunk by Dewey
were in condition to be restored to their
normal shape. The government claimed
that only such sum as it had received an
equivalent for should be paid out.
