THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY
General Improvement Reported by
 SurgeOn-General

Washington, Oct. 3.-In his annual report Surgeon General O'Reilly says that the general health of the army has improved. During the past year the admissions per thousand have been 1,451.1S against 1,616.51 in the preceding year. This marks a gradual improve ment in the condition of the troops. which has been noted since sanitary matters have been given increased at tentiOn, notwithstanding a large pro portion of the troops has been on prac- tically war service in the Philippines since 1898.
 From an average strength of 19.O29 American troops in the Philippines, 1,074 were invalided home, a rate ef a6.44 per thousand. There were 271 deaths among the troops in the Phil iDpines so that the losses by death and invaliding amounted to 70.67 per thous- and. Contrary to what might be ex- pected in view of the general belief in the prevalence and severity of malarial fever in the Philippines, it was found necessary to send only 59r such cases home. All of this number subsequent ly returned to duty, none dying.
 Filipinos showed the highest rate of admission for disease and they also led the disease death rate with 1S.17 per thousand, compared with six per thous- and for white and 9.42 for colored.

HE COMMERCIAL WORLD
Yesterdays Movement of Stocks Was
 a Puzzle.

New York, Oct. s.-The motives prompting operations in stocks today were extremely difficult to fathom ow- ing to the conflicting movements n different stocks in the same groups and supposedly under the same influences, but it was discernible on general lines that the sales to realize were rather heavier than at any time heretofore on the present advance and sufficient to stagger the market and carry 1t back ward for a time.
 The forces in the market were able to rally themselves, however. appar- ently refreshed by the extent to which realizing had been carried, and to make headway toward recovery. Early trad ing had the advantage of a strong close last week, and a still higher range Of prices in London before the opening here.
 The usual Monday morning expres- sions from railroad traffic officials were particularly sanguine of the future growth of traffic and reported a good actual increase in the freight move ment as the result of the passing of the corn crop scare. A prominent feature of the reports of the railroad business was the revival of improvements and betterments which had been laid aside owing to the need of retrenchment of extraordinary expenses.

HEARST IS HEARD FROM
He Issues a Call to National Demo-
 cratic CIubs.

New York, Oct. 3.-William Ran dolph Hearst has issued an address to the National Association of Democruti. clubs of which he is president, remind ing the association of the great oppOr- tunity presented to democrats in the coming election and urging upon them special activity and untiring energy.
 There are no special reasons why the democrats of the Unitde States should not assert themselves and work ener-. eeticalIy in this campaign. First ana foremost, there is Q permanent dut:- before us all. We must restore the government of this country to the hands of the people for whom and by whom the government was created. The president of United States, in his formal letter of acceptance, calls all democrats hypocrites and time servers. He says they are compelled to impro- wise their convictions, and that il is no wonder they forget their convictions over night. It is the duty of the mem bers of the National Association of Democratic clubs and all democrats to unite in proving that democrats have principles.
 The democratic party stands for the

freedom of the press, of conscience and speech. The democratic party has great respect for vested rights. It has also a great hatred of vested wrongs. De- mocrats believe in the statement of their platform that the rights of labor are certainly no less vested, no less sacred and no less inalienable' than the rights of capital. Democrats de. nounce e7yportation without process ot law of workinEm and women from the state of Colorado or from any other part of the American soil. Democracy detests all kinds of anarchy and espe- cially that which puts the executive Of at2ise. backed by the militia above the laws and above the courts.
 Democrats believe in handling the peoples money as carefully as an indi- vidual would handle his own The democracy believes in putting thieves out of the postoffice and all other branches of the public service. Demo- crats believe that public property is public property, and that not even the occupant of the White House should turn men-of-war into private yachts or make of officers or sailors of the navy. domestic servants of the presi- dents household. The democratic par ty believes ir expansion. But it is op-
 
 those who come under the American flag should be treated as Americans and not treated as conquered subjects to he ruled by personal favorites of a personal president.
 Democrats, if elected, will find a way to pull away from the trusts their pro tecting cloak. the tariff. The democrat ic party believes in spending national money to increase the wealth of the nation and of the individual in the l building of the isthmian canal. Dem l ocracy believes in national improve ment by the reclamation of the arid i lands. The democratic party favors l the election of United States senators 1 by the direct vote of the people.

HitheEto he had found it to the inter est of the territory to send him rather than anyone else there, to secure stats- hood. Now t behOoves Arizona to de- legTte him to prevent statehood. The democratic members of the senate were swaiting with bated breath the result of the election in Arizona. All other public questions lad been put into the back ground. If Mir. Smith should be defe1ted his democratic friends of the senate would add their impelling force to the strength already behind the joint statehood bill and 1t would become n law. If on the other hand Mir Smith should be elected his democratic friends would stand before the passage of the bill Cntill hell is congealed or until the Colorado freezes at Yuma.
 NJ. Smiths address was not up to che standard. There was plenty of firt. in it but it was not the old time fire. It was lacking in smoothness and el- oquence and was quite disconnected, merely an index to the speech he is going to make at some future time But as has been remarked the presence of MT. Smith was accidental.
 He was followed by E. E. Ellinwood chairman of the democratic territorial committee. He ran almost exclusively to s.atehodd and showed the uphlIl work which Afr. Smith had failed to ac- complish. Mir. Ellinwood knew for he was in Washington at all critic 3l periods He knew all the time what Mark wanted to do for he had been ! with him and had seen him want to do things but there was always some body in the way.
 Then came the introduction Of the county candidates. the real business for which the meeting was held. Tn, speakers had been chosen but they had
 been displaced by Mir. Smith It was
 also intended that eaich of the cand-- dates should make a little Low before the audience and inform it that the voters of the county would make no mistake in their election and that 4 elected they would perform their drtie. to the best of their ability, "thankinc
 you for the honor you have conferred upon me, am yours truly" etc.
 This arrangement having been neces
 sarily cancelled Eugene Brady O'NeiI
 was delegated 10 introduce the demo.
 cratic county ticket. The members o 1t sat in semi circle i. the rear of the stage and MT. O'NeiI
 presented them in due form. The de pression eugendered by the dry an,
 formal proceeding was relieved in par by an address at the close by Georg Pury Bullard who had been presente ? as the Little Giant"

GRAIN.

Chicago, Oct. 2-At the outset the wheat market was decidedly weak. Opening quotations on December were down T. to % at 1121s l1125k. May was off 1zG5s to %G% at 112Ss SsIH27s. The factors that contributed to the initial weakness were lower cables. liberal world shipments and heavy receipts ia the northwest. For a time commission houses were free sellers and with only a scattered demand prices declined sti1 further. December sold off to 1f1.s and May to 112A. On the decline a com mission house became a heavy buyer and this support started an active GOV ering by pit traders who had sold tCo freely on the opening weakness. Tce final quotations were: December at 113BGA; May at 1139sGk.
