CLOSEOFTHEJUBllEE A Successful Termination of th! Philadelphia Celebration. AT INDEPENDENCE HALL The Postponed Parade of Civic Societies Was a Grand Success. A Large Number of Floats Attradted Much Attention. The Mayor and litany Distinguished Guests Review the Demonstration. Philadelphia. Oct. 29.—The fourth and " last day of the peace jubilee in this city opened yesterday with good weath. er. There were two events of almost equal importance arranged for the final day of the jubilee. One. the rededica- tion of Independence Hall, where May- or \‘L’nrwicl: delivered the oration. and the other the civic parade, which was postponed from Wednesday, owing to , bad weather. The procession yesterday very much the same line. of'march as that of the military parade the prev— ious day. The line formed on Broad street, the head of the column resting on qu- Eterland street. The parade was form- ed in ten divisions, comprising all 10- cal labor, civil and social organizations, as well as many Masonic lodges and other fraternities from nearby towns. The policemen, firemen, létter carriers and all branches of the city govern- ment had men in line. Volunteer fire- men from all parts of Pennsylvania were represented in the procession. The. most imposing feature of the parade, however. was the great num- 1 her of elaborate floats built especially . for the occasion. . -. The city of Philadelphia. built foun- teen floats, which were said to surpass anything of the kind ever before con- structed in this country. They were entitled “Columbus at the Court’. of Spain," "The Landing of Columbus,” “The Birth of the American Flag," “VVashlngton Crossing _ the Delaware," "Our Reunited Country," "United Blue and Gray," "Liberty," “Dewey'at Ma- nila,” "United We Stand for Civiliza- tion and Peace," “Hobson's Raft,” "A Lesson in Humanity," “Proud of Her Boys," “After Many Years," “A Triile Embarras‘sed,” and “Our Heroes.” The art schools of the city prepared a number of floatsvrepresenting differ-7 ent periods of art. Among-the insti» tutions having floats in line were the Philadelphia. School of Design fo‘r‘Wo-’ men, the Philadelphia Commercial Mu- ‘seum, with four. floats representing our new colonies, “The‘ Philippines,” .“Ha- waii,” “Porto Rico” and “Cuba.” and the Master Builders' Mechanical Trades School. The parade was reviewed by the may- or and other city officers from the re- ‘ Viewing stands in the court of honor. The streets were almost as croivded as they were Thursday, although thous- ands of persons left the city after the departure of the presidential party. The warships served to draw many peisons away- from the down town dis 5 tricts,,and all the morning the landing at the foot of Chestnut street was crowded wih visitors to the war vessels remaining in the river. The Dolphin left for Annapolis and . the New Orleans started for New York yesterday morning. The Texas is still here, however, and was the Mecca for the majority of the visitors. The exact date for the depart- ure of the Texas has not been determ- , ined. She will probably not leave here, however, before Monday or Tuesday of next week, when she will return to New York. Cargo 0: Coal for Havana.‘ Norfolk, Va., Oct. 29.——The schooner Charles K. Schull has cleared from this port with a cargo of Pocahontas . This is the first ship- 1 coal for Havana. ment of fuel to Havana from any Ani- erican port since the war and the first from this for a number of years. Others will follow. The. expansion of Norfolk’s coal trade since war with Spain was declared has been marked. Coal is now shipped to far distant ports which never' before received fuel from this source. ' The development of trade with Span- ish and South American ports is espec— ially great of late. Appointments by the President.

New York, 00?. 29. —Busine.ss has been more affected by foreign affairs than many realize. London’s apprehen- sion of war first caused advance in ! Wheat and fears of monetary pressure here. Then came confidence in Lon- ! ion, with a. flight of French money I 1 across the channel, and stock markets . here advanced, while wheat fell. Mobs in Paris did not mean to influence Am- , eric-an interests from New York to San ’ Francisco, but electric wires have made 3 the-world small. So the wires moved a cargo of wheat from the Pacific coast, . started $2,500,000 more gold froml Aus- tralia to this country on London ac-- count, ‘and the selling of American se- i curities one day and buying the next. There has been no domestic change of much importance, and the rise in prices of western railroad stock indicate that the supreme court decision against the 5 Trunk Line Association is considered ; helpful to railroads. ! Wheat rose three cents from Friday I to Monday, and then fell 4 1- 2 cents to Friday. But such changes do not represent actual conditions, and with western receipts for the week 9,558,205 bushels against.6,996,487 last year, no- body can pretend that holding of stocks by western farmers is an important factor. The Atlantic exports, flour in- cluded, amount to 3,796,830 bushels, against 3,864,649 last year, and Pacific exports 825,994 bushels against 1,326,808 last year, making 16,607,362 bushels in four weeks, against 19,418,847 last year. when the foreign demand was far be— yond all precedent. In four weeks the western receipts have been over 40.150,- 699 bushels, against 30,723,288 last year, and yet prices are 250. lower. Corn refused to follow wheat, but slightly advanced. Cotton rose to 5 1-2 cents last week, but has fallen to 5 3-8 in spite of heavy frosts in parts of the growing region. This expresses strongly the belief that no curtailment of pield is possible that will affect the surplus more than the closing of eastern mills one month in three, and the reduction of consump- tion abroad. Wool dealers have reached the con- clusion that, with the heavystocks on hand, it is no longer a. question of profit but of avoiding losses, and con-1 sessions have brought a big increase in sales for the week, though for four weeks the aggregate has been only 14.- 898,900 pounds. against 36,394,098 last week, 28,320,100 in 1896, and 25,538,503 in 1892. The volume of business reflected by clearing house returns’in the month of October thus far has been 2. 9 per cent. larger than last year, and 4. 9 per cent. larger than in 1892, the increase for the last week being 10.8 per cent, compar- ed with last yea1, and 15.1 per cent. compared with 1892. Foreign trade con— tinues to show larger gains in exports ‘han in imports over last year, the in- rease for three weeks being about $2, — 110,060, or 9 per cent. in exports, gainst $760, 000 or 3 per cent. in im-' )orts, which/ indicates another heavy palance in favor of the United States or the month just closing. Failures-for be three weeks have been 810,665,955 Jgainst $6,570,496 last year. RE”OF11P«.ENDAT'ON FOR DREY FUS- BE. Bard Advises .the Court of 'Cassation to Pronofince inEFavor of Revision ‘ Paris, Oct. 29.——The proceedings 'in l the case of Dreyfus were resumed here 3 before the court of cassation yesterday, I the scenes within and without the court 1 being similar to those of the previous . day. ' I Counsellor Bard concluded his f01- ' mal statement to the court as the 1e- ' sult of his investigation of the avail..~ ble evidence, finall: contending that the elements of evidence actuallyb trust— worthy 111319. insufficient for the con- viction of Dreyfus. He declared that if the so-called secret evidence was not produced immediately he would ask the court to conclude the inquiry and pronounce in favor of Dreyfus. At the close of M. Bard's speech M. 'Mornard. counsel for Mme. Dreyfus, addressed the court dealing with the conclusions contained in M. Bard’s ad— dress. ‘ M. Manau, the procureur general, at the beginning of his part of the discus— sion, exclaimed: "Let us go 011 with revision!” This utterance created a sensation in the court. M. Mana then declared that revision was a legal necessity. The false statements that had been made by Colonel Henry and various other matters which came to light in 1897, he went on to say were of such a nat- Lire. as to establish the innocence of Dreyfus. The Prccureur general asked the ,court of cassation suspendw the pun— ishment of Dreyfi pending the de- cision of the court upon- the question of revision of his tilal. the Central News says that a striking change is already evident in the'aspect of the Dreyfus case, and the acquittal of Dreyfus is no“ regarded as beinr quite within the realm of possibility.

Since ongCress gave authority to the secretary of the interior to cut deed and down timber on the reservations. With the intended purpose of furnish- ing work to the Indians, the Indians have complained that the white cor.- lractors are getting all of he benefits. This work has gone on for some time,’ and to it is partly traceable the dis- satisfaction that caused the late trou- ble with he Pillager lndians. bances seemed to indicate 111.1,. 1L1e En- dians wanted the present system 11f cutting the dead and down timber rlis- continued. Ancnrrlingly the secretary of the in. terior ordered that. the. work he sus- pended. This petition from a majority of the. braves of the Pillager band on the Leech lake reservation leads an en— tirely different aspect to the situatiOn, and will require prompt action by the. lndian bureau.

The use of soaps containing a dis- infectant of some kind has become so general that observations on the prac- tical value of such combinations can- not fail to be of interest. Dr. Reith- offer has'recently published the re- sults of some experiments carried out by him with various kinds of soap, . having for object to determine their . value as microbioides. He used the or- captains and a guarantee of legitimate ' For Dumaguete, Camiguin 1. dinary mottled soap, white almond scalp perfumed With nitrobenzine, and hard porous-h soap. He found that these soaps were very inimical to the cholera microbe, a one per cent. solu- tion killing them in a short space of time, while a five per cent. solution of the potash soap killed them in five minutes. We are, therefore, at liber- gty to infer that. as in washing the bands, the strength of the soap solu- ‘tion is never less than five and may :7 go as high as forty-five per cent, this amethod of disinfecting the hands, as : Well as thecl-othes, etc., is fairly trust- 'Worthy.
