After the Parade Presidential Party Vis ited Every Regimental Camp and Was Loudly Cheered—Fourth Missouri in Line—Three Companies Had Neither Arms Nor Uniforms. Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va., May 30.—-—President McKinley reviewed thir- teen thousand men of the Second Corps of the volunteer army here Saturday. There were three full brigades, consti: tu'ting the first division of the corps, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Missouri. The First Rhode Island was also in camp, and the Twenty-Second Kansas arrived late Saturday evening, but both were too late to take part in the pa- rade. Gen. Graham’s headquarters’ guard, of New York cavalry, under command of Captain Clayton of Troop C, met the presidential party at Dunn Loring. In the party were President and Mrs. Mc- Kinley, Vice President and Mrs. Ho- bart, Senator Lodge, Secretary Long and Miss Long, Secretary Porter, Rep- resentatives Fowler, Swanson and oth— ers. ' Meanwhile, every-thing had been pre- pared ’Dhe regiments had been order— ed to move to the parade grounds at 1 o’clock, but the heat of the day was so terriffic that this order was coun- termanded and 3 o'clock set instead. Even with this change ,the men suffer- ed severely, there being numerous pros- trations, but all of those who were overcome soon recovered. Considering that the men were all newly recruited the parade was a won- derful one. The First division was com- manded by Colonel Campbell of the First New Jersey, General Guenither, the regular division commander, being ill. _ The First brigade was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Ham- ilton, of the Eighth Ohio; the Second under Colonel Foster of the Sixth Illi- nois, and the Third under Colonel J. B. Corbell of the Twelfth Pennsylvania. Colonel Coursen being ill The unat- tached regiments were commanded by Colonel Barnett cf the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana. The rear of' the line was brought up by the Fourth Missouri, which was in- cluded in the parade at the special re- quest of its colonel, who wanted the president to see how poorly his men were equipped. Three companies had neither arms nor uniforms, while mos-t ‘of the others were little more than half provided. The grounds were picketed by the Ninth battalion of Ohio troops, a. negro organization of three com- panies, under Major Young of the Uni- ted States army. After the parade the presidential par- ty visited every regimental camp and was loudly cheered at each. The pres- ident expressed himself as much pleas— ed with the appearance of the men and with the manner in which they bore themselves. HOW MADRID GETS NEWS. Says the American Ships Have Gone from Santiago. Madrid, May 30.—It was announced here in a dispatch from Havana that the warships of the United States; which have been blockading Santiago de Cuba, disappeared Saturday from off that port. It is added that their destination is unknown to the Spanish authorities. Advices received here yesterday from Havana say that a big sailing ship from Barcelona, having on board a car- go of provisions and arms, arrived yes- terday at Nuevitas, the northern port of the city of Porto Principe, capital of the Cuban province of that name, after running the blockade. A dispatch to the Imparcial from Manila, dated Tuesday last, May 24, says the town of St. Thomas is in a state of insurrection. The rebels, it is (added, have burned a number of hous- es and have murdered the commander of the ,volunteers, a priest and other Spaniards. The dispatch also announ- ces‘that the cable to Iliolo has been :ut. VOLUNTEERS AT CHICKAMAUGA. Enter] in Wooded Portion of the Park Leaving Open Field for Drill. W'ashington, May 30.———Genera. H. V. Boynton, chairman of‘the Chickamau- ga. Park commission, has returned to the city after a visit of several weeks to the park. He says there are now about 45,000 volunteers encamped at Chickamauga, and these are expected to be supplemented by the early arri- val of 30,000 more. In addition there is some United States cavalry, which act as a provost guard, but they are few in number. There are 15,000 horses and mules also on the park grounds. The men are all tented in the wooded portions of the park, leaving the open fields for drilling purposes. The .or- dinary accommodations at the park are for 50,000 men, and in view of the ex- pected arrival of 30,003 more, it has been decided to lecate one corps of troops on some of the, adjoining grounds. Sound Steainur D‘sabled. New London, May 30.—The steamer City of Worcester, one of the palatial vessels owned by the Norwich & New York Transportation company, on her regular trip from New York Saturday night, made her way through the thick fog out' of the harbor into Long Island and was run upon the mud flats at Green’s harbor, an inlet north of the Pequot colony, about two miles from the Norwich line’s wharf in this,city. About 100 passengers were on board the steamer, bound fzr Boston and. ad- jacent cities. The exact cause of the Worcester's mishap is not yet known,,but it is re- ported the steamer brushed against a. ledge and sprang aleak and the cap- tain was obliged to beach her. and three unattached regiments from. I Sound, but in a‘few minutes returned. THE-EVEN in G GAZETTE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. Dec aring Against Biennial or Triennial Meetings of The Assembly. W’inona Lake. Ind.,‘May 30.-—The at- tendance at the Presbyterian general assembly was deplete Saturday on ac- count of the depart N or the eastern commmissioners. Thefirst item of bus- iness was the approval of the action of the Presbytery of New York in eras- ing from the roll the name of Dr. Chas. A. Briggs, at his request. It was or- dered that this be made a matter of record in the general assembly. A sup- plementary resolution was adopted de- claring the loyalty of the Presbyterian church and pledging its prayers for the chief magistrate of the nation and for the National Guard. Overtures con- cerning organic union with the South- ern Presbyterian church was answered to the effect that no further action was needed than to refer to the deliverance of the assembly of 1894. Dr. William H. Roberts, from the committee on polity, reported against. biennial 'or triennial meetings of the assembly, which had been asked for by a dozen Presbyteries, on account of the great cost of each meeting amount- ing to about $50,000. After a discussion the assembly decided against the pro- posed change, but directed the appoint- ment of a. committee of nine to consid- er the question of a reduction of the number of commissioners by changing the ratio of representation. TROOPS POORLY‘EQUEPPED. Some Of the San Francisco Volunteers in Need 0f Clothing. San Francisco, May 30.——The First regiment Montana volunteers, number- ing 1,030 men, under command of Colo— nel Aessler, arrived Saturday and went at once to Camp Richmond. Many of the soldiers camped at Fort Richmond are greatly in need of proper clothing. Private enterprise has done much to remedy the deficiency of the commissary department. Were it not for the contributions of food by the Red Cross society and others, there would (have been real suffering in more than one of the camps at Fort Rich- mond. . It is generally understood that Gen- eral Merritt will issue orders to have all the volunteers fully, equipped at once, and that if the government can- not supply the necessary articles, pri- vate concerns will be called upon. No orders to prepare to break camp have been received by any of the regi- ments, and the statements of what command-s shall be assigned to the next transports are founded upon specula- tion. It seems certain, however, that the four troops of the Fourth United States Cavalry now here will be among the lucky ones chosen to embark for Manila. The men are fully equipped for active service. . MEN FOR ASTOR’S BATTERY. Enough.Applicant¢ to Fill Several 0r- ganlzations of the Kind. New York, May 30.—Enlistments were suspended at noon Saturday at the re- cruiting office of the Astor Battery af- ter enough men to fill at least five bat- teries had been registered as aspirants for service. Up to the time of closing no less than 342 men, the pick of many hundreds, had been provisionally ac- cepted, in addition to sixty odd who were known to be eager to join the bat- tery and who were to be communicated with either by wire or letter. . When the cream of this lot has b‘éen skimmed by the surgeons the Astor Battery will have a complement of men that, for perfection of physical and sol- dierly qualities, will be unexcelled the world over. There will be hardly a man in the battery who has not seen service either in the National Guard or in the regular army of the United States, with a. good sprinkling of foreign veterans. RED CROSSWORK IN SAN FRANCISCO The Fund Now Amount! to 831,170— Free Hospital Treatment for Soldiers. San Francisco, May 30,—The Red Cross fund now amounts to $31,170. The benefit given'to the society at the Oak- land race track netted $1,500. The San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Railroad has turned over to the society a check for $460, the amount realized by carrying passengers to witness the departure of the troops-for Manila. The officials of the German Hospital have informed the Red Cross that its doors are open to the United States sol- diers who are ill. All the resources of the hospital will be placed at their dis- posal. No charge will be made for med- icines or attendance. The directors of the French Hospital have placed a ward at the disposal of the Red Cross. The sick soldiers cared for by the French Hospital for the last week have averaged twenty-five a day. PENSYLVANIA THE WINNER. ' Her Athletes Again Bear Away the Annu- al Championship. New York, May 30.—The twenty—third annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Association was brought to a. success- ful close at Berkeley Oval Saturday, and the athletes from the University of Pennsylvania. duplicated their success of last year by carrying off the cham- pionship honors with a. score of 50 3-4 points out of a possible 154. Princeton was second, with 28 points; Harvard third, with 25 5-6; Yale. fourth, with 22 2-3; and Syracuse led the remainder with 9 points. Columbia got 5 on cy- cling. Five Men Drowned. New London, Conn., May 30.—The 'two-masted schooner James Williams, Captain Williams of Boston, put in here Saturday night and reported that five of her crew were drowned while trol- [ing in a small boat off Fisher’s island. Explosion in a Powder Mill. Penns Grove, N. J., May 30.—By the explosion of a mixing mill at the smokeless powder works of the Dupont Company at Carney’s Point, near here, Saturday afternoon, one workman was killed and three mills destroyed. _______,___..,._..._ Biz Lumber Fire at Stamford. Stamford, Conn., May 30:—Fire Yes- terday morning destroyed the lumber plant of vGillespie Bros., causing a loss estimated at $30,000. The .origin is un- known. The fire department was at 0 work seven hours. , $3,782,344 last year. 5% DUNN’S WEEKLY REYIEW. The Business Barometer Indicates an In- creasing Volumn of Trade. New York, May 30.——The nation faces war with reviving volume of business. The West is doing its part and more, but at the East also the volume of business is now expanding. Without abatement in any important line, the great outgo .of wheat and corn con- tinues to stimulate business at the West, and railroad earnings show an increase over last year of 15.1 per cent. ger roads 22.5 per cent., and in other western roads 14.6 per cent., while east— bound shipments from Chicago in three weeks have been 388,808 tons, against 150,812 tons last year, and 164,923 tons in 1892. This is largely because of the enor- mous movement of breadstuffs. Official and all other accounts agree in esti- mating that the wheat yield will be re- markably large this year, in spite of the fact that the California crop has been much damaged by want of rain.- It is in the presence of such extraor- dinary movements that transactions in stocks show remarkable strength in spite of occasional heavy selling by for- eigners. On the whole the foreign. de- mand has been highly satisfactory. , Starting this month with the greatest consumption ever known, the ircjn in- dustry has made surprising progress in new orders, which reached about 100,000 tons in bars alone, over 50,000 having been placed at Chicago and 15,000 at Wheeling, mainly resulting from the extraordinary demand for agricultural implements. A better demand appears for textile' goods, with slight advance in print cloths and a substantial gain in sales of staples. It is too late for the ques- tion of cotton supplies during the cur— rent crop year to affect the market much, and the rise of an eighth on raw cotton this week makes no important difference with the manufacturers, but there is a distinct increase in the de- mand for goods. Wool is also slow, the sales during the week having been only 3,748,100 pounds, of which 2,489,100 were domestic, against 6,842,400 a year ago, and 4,211,000 in the same week-of 1892. The manufacturers‘are largely supplied with materials, although some who have heavy government con-tracts are obliged to buy different grades of wool than those they have in hand. Activity in the market is prevented by the fact that western holders almost universally believe in higher prices than can yet be realized in eastern markets so that pur- chasing is very light. Foreign exports from New York for the Week have been about $2,000,000, or 20 per cent. larger than last year, though for three weeks past only about 7 per cent. larger. But imports at New York have been $2,800,000 smaller, or about 25 per cent. for the week, and $15,300,000 smaller, or about 40 per cent., for three weeks of May These figures indicate another enormous excess of imports of merchandise during the month, and give fair reason for the in- creased demand for gold to be shipped to this side which is reported from Europe. ‘ Failures for three weeks of May, ow- ing to one of considerable importance, are larger than last year, amounting to $9,174,563, against 38.253664 last year, and $9,503,468 in 1896. Manufacturing have been $4,334,605, against $3,750,570 last year, and trading $4,075,275 against It is gratifying that at such a time as this no increase is seen. Failures for the Week have been 245 in the United States against 214 last year, and 21 in Canada against 22 last year. NEW SENATOR FOR MISSISSIPPI. Congressman Sullivan Succeeds the Late Senator “’althall. ' Jackson, Miss, May 30.—Governor McLaurin has appointed Congressman Sullivan to the United States Senate to succeed the late Senator Walthall. Will Van Amberg Sullivan was born on December 18, 1857, near Winona, Miss. He was educated in the county schools, the University of Mississippi and Vanderbilt University, graduating from the latter institution in .1875. He was a delegate to the Democratic Na- tional Convention in 1892 and is a mem- ber of the Democratic national execu- tive committee. His home is in Ox- ford, Miss, where he practices law.

On! is’the Cry— No More Time to Be Wasted. The War now being waged on land and sea. with the forces .of Spain, is duplicated by the conflict eternally gomg on 1n every human body with the forces of disease and death. Mucous diseases, resulting from colds develop- ing into catarrh, have for years been steadily increasing in the United States. Their increase has been spec- ially marked ,in Norwalk. But these d1seases have met a conquerer. For seven months California. Catarrh Cure has fought for the health and comfort of N orwalk citizens. The wonderfully rapid decrease in catarrh, tonsilitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, diptheria and catarrh of the internal organs, during these months, is traced directly to Cali‘ fornia Catarrh Cure. Norwalk citizens can be no longer deceived. Old and useless methods of treating this disease have had to give way before the mar- velous suCces's of California Catarrh Cure. The people who want health w1ll no longer waste time and money on other treatment when California Ca.- tarrh Cure gives results like the fol- lowing :. Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of l Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stuifed up, and the quantities of matter that run into my throat at night, would cause me to hawk, spit,and often gag in the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California Catari-h Cure at Plaiste‘d’s drug store, and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my whole head feels much clearer.” Do not sneeze and suffer from head and colds or hay fever. ‘ California Catarrh Cure cures one; it will surely prevent the other. PARENT’S TTTLES. I Family of Children That Dropped Pap. and Momma for Father and Mother “I was brought up," said a. fond lather, “to say father and mother. I never dreamed of saying papa. and mamma when I was a. child, and I chould have made awkward work of it 13 I had tried. My children until lately lave always said papa and mamma. I lon’t know how they got started that vay, but at the outset and for a long lime they never thought of saying tnything else. Then the older ones mok to saying father and mother. They iked these titles better, and they \hought they were better form, too, md they taught the younger children llSO to say father and mother, and tow they all say father and mother. “The older children soon accustomed :hemselves to the change; the younger :hildren were a. little shy over it at irst, but they soon got pretty well used :0 it, and now. we rarely hear in my, mouse papa and mamma; it. is father md mother. . “And I must say I like it better. ’ d i don’t think it is because that is t 0 way I was brcuglit up, ‘though t o :‘itles certainly do have to me an ind familiar and affectionate sound ti: _ 3 very pleasant; but I think I like hther and mother better nyway." ‘L‘it’emféiT The sailor tie is the latest thing i? neckwear. It has broad ends, which are so cut that they show the full pat- tern of the silk. Very narrow turn. down collars of white linen are Still w with dark cloth and satin stock.

It has a: trace of mirlor velvet in it, and yet with a decided silk surface. ,Black has come into its own again, and nothing. is more fashionable for the skirts that women are wearing with. the fancy bodices; that they have by, no means given up wearing. The newest thing in belts and stocks is a. coll 7.- band and waistband to match of WWE plain or embroidered, passed t oug slides of paste or jewels, th né‘c band being beneath a high the ici collar. White gloves are no longer so popul as they were; pearl gray and delica fawn are now the favorites. Fancy'WOi-k. A very dainty bit of. pick-up work is the covering of yokes, impes, nar- row vest-fronts, cuffs, and standing collars of fine white ladies' cloth With French arabesque or vermicelli designs in braiding, or merely edging th with rows of very narrow gold 51 i. or cord.

Heinrich Heine, the poet, was terri- bly jealous. One day he poisoned a. parrot belonging to his lady love, for fear it should claim too much of her attention. “The Rivals" is a true story of Sher- idan’s courtship, the character of Lydia Languish in the life play being taken by Miss Linley, who afterwards be- came the author’s .wife. Thomas Moore was always in love. If one loolfs through his poems, one may find the names of some sixteen different ladies i to whom he swore eternal fidelity.
