NEW YORK, May 30.—In spite of wet Streets and lowering skies Memorial day was observed very generally throughout this city. The principal event of the day was a parade of military organisations, ich was reviewed at Madison Square Governor Odell, Mayor Van Wyck, .-Gen- John Brooke, Brig.-Gen. J. W. Clouse, Col. M. V. Sheridan. Rear Admirala Higgtnson and Barker and Gens. Francis V. Greene, Anson Q. McCook and l^fartin McMahon. The parade was made up of G. A. R. posts, discharged soldiers of the SpanishAmerlcan war, four companies of coast and heavy artillery, with the Eighth band of the artillery corps, marines from the battleships Kears&rge and Massachusetts and the First and Fifth brigades of the National Guard. An interesting feature of the parade was the tiring of a salue in Itson Square in front of Admiral Farit’s statue from a gun mounted on a iture ship carried on a float in the parade by Naval Post No. 61C. Thousandp visited Grant's tomb, where a naval salute was fired from the Hudson. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, was the orator of the day. BOOKWALTER AT FT. WAYNE.

Local Affairs Ignored for Benefit of National. [SperUkl to The ladlanapotts News.] FT. WAYNE, ind., May SO.-Charles A. Book waiter, of Indianapolis, delivered the Decoration day address in this city sy on invitation of the general committee. In concluding his address he said in part; VOv? State and municipal governments have, apparently, in many instances, been turned over by the people to .men with ■ seitlsh purposes to serve. Our local lawmaking bodies have gradually encroached upon the rights of the common people; efforts to secure reform have been defeated through sinister Influences, and corporate Interests, ever alert, have through legislation and the control of municipal governments, secured advantages and concessions greatly to the injury oi tho general community. National government, to be administered to the best interests ot all, must be founded upon good State and municipal government Whatever operates to secure good local government, at the same time operates in favor of good National government The obligation resting upon every citlsen is plain. Every believer In government by the people owes a patriotic duty to this country, and that duty is to do his part by active participation in local affairs toward securing a better administration oi both local and State governments. I believe the American people, when once aroused to these new dangers which now threaten our local forms of government, will prove capable of dealing with such questions In times of peace as they have proven able to deal with all problems arising in times of war.'* THE DEAD IN ARLINGTON.

It Is the belief of conservative people at Minneapolis and Duluth that It Is far coo early to get alarmed, because a good rain now. or even In a week or ten days from ! now, would restore the most promising situation."

Not Forgotten by the Living—Cere* monlee at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 30.-The weather to-day waa delightful and the exercises at the different cemeteries where soldiers are buried were largely attended. President McKinley expected to visit Arlington, but was delayed by a visit of doctors to Mrs. McKinley. Not only were there many contributions of flowers from individuals for the purpose of decorating the graves of the soldier dead, but the resources of the national Government were added to these and all of the rich spring blooms of the botanical gardens! the parks and the other Government conservatories were freely placed at the disposal of the decorating committees.

Thousands of Federal Gravea Decorated at Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. May 80.—The graves of the 13,600 Union soldiers and the 400 Spanish-American war soldiers buried In the national cemetery here, were decorated to-day with fitting ceremonies. A marked feature of the occasion was the fact that the program arranged by the G. A. R. committee made the Spanish war men most prominent, with a view to filling out with them the fast thinning ranks of the older veterans. GOV. CUMBACK THE ORATOR. Science of Sciencea It Knowing How

Disarmed by Editor Marah After Sharp Struggle. (Special to The Indianapolis News.] COLUMBUS. Ind,, May 30.-Another chapter has been added to the bitter feud between the School Board and Professor Cantagey, culminating in an attempted horse-whipping of editor J. Newt Marsh, of the Times, by John Stobo, of the School Board. Last evening Mr. Stobo, accompanied by his wife, drove to the Times office and called Mr. Marsh out. In hot words the trustee accused the editor of publishing a point-blank lie in connection with the diploma difficulty, in asserting that after the commencement exercises Mr. Stobo locked himself in bis office, in front of which men and boys congregated, making threats against him and daring him to come out. Mr. Stobo asserted that he was only in his office for a moment, and that no threats were made. When accused of publishing a lie, editor Marsh advanced close to the carriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Stobo. and then Stobo began lashing him with his buggy whip. Marsh grabbed the whip, and at this point the horse took fright and ran away, preventing what might have been a worse fight. Mr. Stobo checked his horse and returned to the scene; his buggy whip was tossed to him by editor Marsh, and the matter ended after a few additional words by the principals. Yesterday afternoon Trustees Stobo and Otto held a special session to select a corps of teachers. No important changes were made, although radical moves had been anticipated. Miss Grace Price, who taught at the North school, and Charles F. Finkie. at Maple Grove, exchanged places at their own request. Mine Minnie Strassner, who has had charge of the colored pupils since Prefewsor Jackson s death, was substituted for Miss MacCoy, of the North school, who has resigned. Miss Lacey was dropped from the Cei school because of a superabundant' _ teachers. The Misses Imogene Dtpboyhe and Bertha Watts were named as substitute teachers. Among the resolutions waa one imposing dismissal of teachers who evinced disloyalty to the school board or the new superintendent. The alumni banquet was held last night, and Professor Cam age y, retiring superintendent, presented the diplomas

selected by himself. The Official diplomas, signed by himself and the board, are still unclaimed.

N THE MUET WORLD

A NEW GERMAN PARK.

South of Garfield Park—Five

with Beech Woods.

An organization affected by the affiliation of forty German societies of the city has purchased five acres of welltimbered land two blocks south of Garfield Park, between East street and the J., M. & L tracks. Work Is under way inclosing this land. . Material for several buildings ‘ is there, and work on them will be pushed rapidly. Frederick Francke is president of the organization and Jacob W. Loeper is secretary. The purpose, the projectors say, is to provide a high-class German family resort, and the land bought is one of the most picturesque woodland spots about the city. It is a heavy beech grove, the trees being of

great growth and beauty.

President Francke said to-day that the uses of the park were to be determined at a meeting of delegates from the forty societies, to be held soon, and until that meeting had been held, he said, the organization did not care to announce its plans. It is understood that the park will receive street car; facilities by the extension of the Shelby-street line across Southern avenue to the south entrance to Garfield park, thus brtngfhg the line close to the north entrance of the new park. It Is the purpose to keep the park open as a resort during the summer season, to have concerts and other features of entertainment, to which the general public will be welcome. On Sundays, however, the park Is to be used exclusively by the members of the organization or the societies affiliated with it. DAILY CITY STATISTICS.

BOSTON, May 30.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the wool trade; There is as yet no increase to be noted in amount of business in progress in the wool market. In fact, the market has ruled quieter the past week than during the previous week, and we figure the sales at only 2,290,000 pounds, against 3,527.000 pounds a week ago. Some of the large mills reported in the market, but with only one exception they have taken very smah quantities of wool- The trend o. the goods market Is apparently toward an improvement, but the clothing trade is still buying goods In a very conservative way. which is reflected in a very quiet demand for wool. Prices continue in favor of the buyer, except on fine wools, which are pretty firmly held in view of the strength shown in the country and the relative firmness of fine stock at t»»e London sales. The excitement in the west has abated. Two of the largest <Yaters m the market have bought no wools in me wist, believing that the pr ees which ..ave been paid there are not warranted. Not over 25,000,000 pounds of new wools thus far this year have been bought out there, and conservative dealers are of the opinion that new wools can be bought at more favorable prices later on. At any rate, they are willing to take their chances of securing their wools later at as favorable terms as are now quoted. Sales for the week in Boston amounted to 2,135,000 pounds domestic and 156.000 pounds foreign, making a total of 2.229,000 pounds, against a total of $3,527,000 pounds for the previous week and a total of 1,160,000 for the corresponding week last year. The sales since January 1 amount to 91,127,900 pounds, against 61,466,900 pounds for the corresponding time last year.

favorably with earlier arrivals. Prices at the close average the same as a week ago for prominent markets, and 60 cents per 100 pounds higher than & year ago. There has been considerable interest manifested in the provision market the past week. The liberal hog supply Is held up to view by one class of traders, while there are those who believe that supplies of the speculative articles are small, and the genera] consumptive demand Is good. The trend of values has been . toward easiness for the most part, but at the close yesterday there was some recovery In lard, while ribs and mess pork were steady. Compared with a week ago, mesa pork is 10c a barrel and short rib sides be per 100 pounds lower for July at Chicago, while lard, after a decline of 10c per 100 pounds, recovered yesterday and closed 2%c higher than a week ago for July at Chicago. The export clearances of product were about the same as the preceding week ( and show a gain as com

The big bull argument on Southern Pacific, apart from the enormous earnings of the company, are the Texas and California oil fields. The latter are said to be of far greater value than is understood by the public and to have also been the incentive which led the Standard OH magnates to acquire some time ago large lines of

Total western packing, 545.000. compared with 510,000 the preceding week and 480.000 two weeks ago. For correspohding time last year the number was 483.000, compared with which

current demand.

GRAIN CONDITION.

Winter Wheat Unchanged — Spring Wheat Vigorous and Healthy. CINCINNATI, O., May 30.-The Price Current says: The general condition of the winter wheat crop has not been materially changed during the past week. Some instances of chinch bugs working in wheat fields are reported from scattering localities of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, and some impairment to the crop has probably been done by these and other insects and dry weather In parts of Missouri and Kansas, but reports received from other parts of the winter wheat section are so favorable that the general condition has not been lowered much, if any, by the week's progress. Spring wheat is in more uniformly good condition than usual; the plant appears to be in vigorous and healthy condition, and well rooted; rain would be welcome now; especially In North Dakota, but it is not suffering for It. The condition of the corn crop has improved some during the week, although the cool weather over much of the area pievemed rapid growth. The general condition is fairly good, with a largo acreage planted. On the other hand, the oats crop does not show any improvement. In some of the most important sections it is reported to be thin on the ground, heading short, or lacking in proper vitality, and altogether the prospects ere unfavorable for more than a fair crop at best. The clover crop is in very good condition. In regard to the interior movement of grain, reports are so irregular that It Is difficult to come to any conclusion except that there is no general tendency either tc hold stocks back or to market freely. Supplies of wheat remaining In farmers’ hands are not believed to be large. There appears to be extensive feeding of corn; during the last several months many reports were received that there was enough corn for feeding purposes, but none for shipping, so that, while it is likely that there are sufficient supplies to meet the reeding demand until the new crop without much inconvenience, the surplus to be carried over will likely be small.

May 30.—The Corn Belt, issued by the Burlington, will print to-mor-row exhaustive crop reports received from 900 correspondents throughout Nebraska, Iowa, northern Kansas and northern Missouri. A brief summary folNebraska—Corn above the average; winter wheat above the average; spring wheat fair to good; oats good.

Northern Kansas—Corn good to excellent; winter and spring wheat even better than last year. France to Raise More Wheat. WASHINGTON. D. C., May 30.-Consul Skinner, at Marseilles, says: "The French tepublic is preparing to join the sisterhood of wheat-exporting nations, and to resume a position abandoned In 1860. A no less able authority than Professor de I.aroque inform* me that ten years hence France will have from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 tons to spare annually for export.” Grain Notes. —May 30.— “The crop ouuo*,*. is excellent,” said an officer of the Rock Island railroad today, "and the situation with farmers throughout our entire system is one of unprecedented confidence. The tonnage movement is ahead of last year and Is ample to keep every department of the road busy. I think If the big crops are harvested, railroads in the Southwest will sh w better earnings than last year, which is saying much.” The Modern Miller says: "The oats cron season Is the most backward one observed in years, and that stirred the market from its old-time lethargy and increased the commission house trading in it. In the last two weeks Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Kansas have been sending In damage reports of the most serious character, In many instances accom-

For Speculator* and Others. —May 30.— 1 Milwaukee & St. Paul railway report* April net earnings increased $13,341. Union Pacific April net earning* increased $78,086. Southern Pacific reports for April, including Houston & Texas Central and hoes subsidiary thereto: Net, $2,484,444; Increase. $729,897. From July 1: Net, $23,698,032; increase, $3,458,794. Directors of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad have declared the regular quarterly dividend on preferred and 2 per cent, semi-annually on common stock, with an extra dividend of 1 per cent, on the latter, all payable July 1. Books close June 12 and reopen June 17. There Is authority for the statement that the Missouri Pacific transfer books show that the Rockefellers are the largest individual stockholders. The Gould and allied interests, however, are still in control, and furthermore, there has been no spirit of antagonism manifested by the Rockefellers against the Gould management. The Rockefeller* are also large holders of Lackawanna. Drugqiats’ Rubber Sundries. NEW YORK, May 30.—The recent advance of about 12 cents a pound In fine Para rubber, although followed by a decline of approximately 5 cents, has given rise to speculation as to its possible effect on druggists' rubber sundries, and it has been reported that manufacturers are prophesying a rise in prices very soon. Investigation does not disclose any likelihood of such action. On the contrary, there were many expressions of belief in a decline in prices next fall in druggists' rubber sundries. Druggists and manufacturers’ agents could ascr'be no reason for an advance, in the light of the quiet business which has prevailed for the past two months, and the practical dissolution of the rubber combine, which kept prices "boosted” for some time.

May be Week Before It la Awarded— Many Contractors Interested. The directors of the Claypool Hotel Company and their architect, Frank M. Andrews, of Dayton. O., held another meeting at the Bates House, to-day, for the purpose of considering the bids that were opened late yesterday afternoon. Henry W. Lawrence, president of the company, said it would probably be a week before the awards were made. It is not likely that It will be known publicly before then whether or not the contract will be let as a whole or In parts. It Is said that the letting of this contract brought together the largest number of prominent contractors from throughout the country’ that has met here since the bids for the construction of the State House were opened. Several are still here In the hope of learning something of the action of the directors. The latter, however, refused to-day to say anything concem'ng what action they have taken or will take. The directors, it is said, will decide, after carefully considering the estimates, whether the building will be six, seven or eight stories high and Just what materials will he used tn its construction. It has been the general understanding that the hotel would be seven or eight stories high, but the contractors, it Is said, made separate bids for buildings of six. seven and eight stories. Several Ind'anapo'is contractors entered the competition and it is understood that the William P. Jungelau* Company and the John A. Schumaker Company presented estimates foe the entire contract. The bids for the entire contract proba-
