The ceremony of dress parade and
review of the Sumter High School
battalion at the Liberty Street Park
Monday afternoon was probably the
most successful which has ever been
held by the high school boys and they
and their commandant deserve much
credit for the brilliant and faultless
manner in which every movement was
executed. The boys went through
the ceremony with the precision of
soldiers. to whom it is a part of their
daily routine.
large crowd, probably the largest
which has ever attended any dress
parade of the battalion, was on hand
to witness the ceremony and to cheer
the young soldiers for their excellent
work. The companies entered the
park shortly after six o'clock headed
by the Sumter Band. The battalion
was formed by the adjutant and the
various parts of the ceremony car
ried out, winding up with the battalion
passing in review before Major Scott,
acting as reviewing officer The mu.

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.
GOVERNMENT FORCES EXPECT
To SECURE SONORA BY
WEEKS END.
Rebels Repulsed by Federals I'm At
tack--No Dispatches Received from
Monterey or Tampico, Where Amer
leans Reside, and Much Anxiety Is
kelf.

Mexico City, May 25.-The war de-
partment expresses the belief that be-
fore the end of the week the govern
ment will be i'm possession of Hermo-
zillo. capital Of the State OF Sonora :.
that much will be accomplished to-
wards reopening the Mexican Central
railway between Chihuahua and Tor
reon and that fair progress will be
made In the campaign now being
made from Monterey.
The attack on Morelia, capital OF
Michoacan. late Saturday was re-
pulsed by the federals. Rebels are
still occupying positions near the
town. but the forwarding of federal
reinforcements makes their success
Improbable. 1t Is not considered likely
that any State capitals now held by
the government will fall into the
hands OF the rebels who seem con-
tent to occupy the small towns i'm the
rural districts. II is regarded as more
likely they will continue their tactics
OF weakening the government by Grip
pling the railroads and there is reason
To believe their plans include isolation
OF the Mexican capital itself by cut
ting the two trunk lines just to the
north and the two lines to Vera Cruz,
one OF which is owned by American
capitalists.
No dispatches were received today
from Monterey or Tampico. Much
concern is felt regarding the situation
at Tampico. which is the centre OF a
district quite thickiy populated by
American oil drillers and farmers. IL
In realized that the garrison at Tam
pico Is not able to do more than guard
the city. Eight hundred troops were
dispatched from here today 10 that
district but they must penetrate a
region alive with rebels.
Reports from rebel districts say
the rebel ranks are rapidly being
hiied. The government, however. is
also bringing up it's force, many of
the recruits being former prisoners,
until there are now more men under
arms In Mexico than ever before. The
character of these recruits and their
lack OF discipline makes operations
with small bodies almost impossible.
The rebels are moving in small mo-
ohe bands. which for the past week
have been active in the States OF
Jaiisco and Hidalgo. where hereto.
fore there has been little trouble.
They have also penetrated the federal
districts. A small government force
was repulsed a few miles from the
capital anu rebels raided ranch near
san Angelo. a suburb.

Washington, May 24.-Attorneys for
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison applied to. the Su-
preme Court today for a review OF
their sentences for violating a court
injunction in the Bucks stove ana
Range case The court is in recess.
Twelve grounds were urged upon
the court for a review That upon
which most stress was laid was that
the punishment was barred by the
statute of limitations.
ITO permit the punishment of men
for alleged contempt years after the
time of the act supposed TO have been
committed" cOntended Jackson H.
Ralston, the attorney whose name
was signed to the application, "is to
lay the foundations for future injus-
tice. If the position taken by the
majority of the Court of Appeals is
correct, the courts in this country
possess the unrestrained right ar any
distance of time after the commission
of a supposed offence against their
dignity to pursue the offender"
The application will be brought to
the attention of the court Monday,
when probably it will be taken under
consideration until the next session.
