First Annual Reunion of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry. A 6AU DAY AT US VISAS, NEW MEXICO. Tfcr Breat of the Day the Keeej»tlem Accorded Cel. Roosevelt, the Idol of the Orgaalntioa-dUar Other Prowtoeat Personages Present— Roosevelt's Medal. Las Vegas, N.M., June 26.—Memorial service was the first thing on the Rough Riders* programme. They were held at 11 o’clock yesterday morning at the Dunan opera house, and Rev. Thomas A. Uzzell, pastor of the People’s tabernacle of Denver, preached the memorial sermon. He said that the soldier who is forced to remain behind is worthy of recognition as well as the man who is at the front. The Rough Riders, he declared, have, by their acts at San Juan, and in the fighting around Santiago, succeeded in writing one of the brightest pages in American history. Their deeds would be read by coming generations, and would enkindle a new love of country and an admiration of true heroism. Dlitiasnlihed Visitor*. Gov. Otero and staff, and Gov. Murphy of Arizona, are here. The governor of Colorado is represented by 'ormer Gov. Alva Adams and by his

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, military staff. The governor of.ChiaaLua, Mexico, has sent his magnificent band. Oar National Christmas. Mr. Young, editor of the Iowa State Capitol, then delivered an address, Mr. Young served with the Hough Eiders, and his recital of the regiment’s experiences at Tampa and Santiago found responsive echo in the hearts of the assembled Hough Eiders. “The Fourth of July, he said, “is our national Christmas, commemorating the birth of the nation, but the Rough Riders’ celebration should be its Easter, for it marked the resurrection. It remained for the Spanish war to bridge the chasm; to put Old Glory everywhere; to round up the late unpleasantness with the new battle hymn of the republic: “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-Night.’’ All Americans Look Alike. He concluded, “When I saw the sons of veterans marching beneath the flag which their fathers died to save, and the sons of confederates clothed in the same uniform, bearing the same arms and marching under the same flag, and the sons of former slaves, accoutred and armed like the others, with the flag above them and the same purpose in their hearts, and 100 na-tive-born full-blood Indians selected in the same lines and aiding the same cause—when I saw these I made a vow to high Heaven never to be a partisan again, and henceforth and forever all Americans should look alike to me.’’

The Regimental Pamtfe. The regimental parade took place ■ yesterday aftenoon at four o’clock. The regiment formed at Camp Cochran, and marched to the tournament grounds, six blocks away. Col. Roosevelt rode as a commander, accompanied by a staff of officers. At. the tournament grounds Col. Roosevelt occupied a box reserved for him and the guests of the regiment. As the Rough Riders passed-and repassed the grand stand in performing their evolutions, Co. Roosevelt stood with bared head. Rich troop was preceded by its respective captain, as far as they were present. The scene was witnessed by fully 10,000 people. Col. Teddy Taken by Surprise. While the review was going on, rain clouds were banking heavily in the jicrth, and Chairman Whitmore, of the local committee on arrangements, requested the colonel to hurry the movement of the Rough Riders, ostensibly on account of the approaching shower. Roosevelt complied with the request, and in another, instant the troopers were standing at “Attention!” in front of the grand stand, This was a neat bit of strategy, and before Col. Roosevelt could realize why he was being spoken to, Hon. Frank Springer, acting on behalf of New Mexico, began his speech presenting Col. Roosevelt with a medal. After warmly eulogizing Col. Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, Mr. Spring, er said: Mr. Springer’s Speech. “It is in recognition of the honor ire enjoy from being thus associated with your name, that I am commissioned by the people of New Mexico to offer yon a testimonial, which shall bear witness in permanent form to the esteem in which we hold yon; their appreciation of yonr character as an American citizen, and their admiration for yonr gallantry in bat

tie. They also wish to tndb cate their devotion to your fortunes in whatever civiic honor* the future has in store for you— whether they come from the imperil 1 state which claims you now, or from a call to yet higher duties and responsibilities by the nation it - self. This token, of which I am abou ; to beg your acceptance, is the produc ; of humble contributions from every part of this territory, f it con es fron no man or set of men, hut it is the united offering of* your old comrades ir, arms and their brothen.fatiiers and fellow citzens, who sent them forth to battle under your leadership. “Permit me, therefore, in the name of the people of New Mexico, to present you with this medal of honor. Its intrinsic value is but a trifle, but we venture to .hope that as a memorial of the affection, admiration and esteem which it represents, it may have for you a value not measured by such a standard, and that you may cherish it as an agreeable souvenir of your visit among us.” The presentation was a genuine surprise to Col. Roosevelt. Mr. Springer handfd the medal to his young daughter, Miss Eva, who pinned it on the lapel of Roosevelt's Rough Rider blouse. The recipient was visibly affected, and responded as follows: Col. Respoaic Judge Springer, and to Miss Springer, and to you, my fellow-Americans of New Mexico, I want to say I cannot express in words how deeply I am touched by what you have clone. I prize this gift more thdn anything else that could have been given me, coming as it does, and in the way il does, from those whom it comes. Foi it comes on the anniversary of a day ; fateful in the annals of the west. Twenty-three years ago Custer rode tc his death with his gallant men at the Rosebud, adding his share in “the winning of the1 west” in the upbuilding oi the west which you have all of you up- j built—bringing up your section level ! in patriotism, level in highness of purpose with all that there is in this nation. I cannot say how glad I have been to come here. I never was in j

i>ew mexico Deiore, dui i nave nevei felt like a stranger for one moment i among you. (Applause.) I claim the same right that each of your sons claim of glory, and take pride in the name and fame of New Mexico. I am an American, as you are Americans; and you and I alike have the right to claim as our own every acre and rod of the country from Maine to Oregon, from Florida to California. (Applanse.) All I shall j say, is, if New Mexico wants to be a state, you can call on me, and I will go to Washington to speak for you, or do anything you wish. (Great applanse.) Col. Roosevelt’s address was cut short by the rain, which put a stop to the amusements of the daylight programme. Description of the Medal. The medal is of solid gold. The medal is pendant from a bar by chains V-shaped, with the ends attached to the bar and joined to the medal at the center. On the bar are the words “Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.” Between the bar and the medal the eoat-ol-arms of New Mexico is engraved. On the medal proper are crossed sabers, and above them is the monogram “KRR.” Below the sabers is the wording: “Presented by the citizens o ' New Mexico, Las Vegas, N. M., June 1899.” On the circular edge of the medal proper are the words: “San Juan,” “Las Guasimas,” “Santiago.” In the center, just below the crosses sa bers, is a brilliant diamond. The Evening Programme. Aside from the presentation, the evening programme consisted of the rendition of a part of Hayden’s “Creation” by the Las Vegas Oratorit society. \ At midnight Col. Roosevelt left over the Santa Fe road for Chicago. He will arrive there at nine o’clock this evening. He will go direct to Milwaukee, and after a brief participation in the carnival exercises there, will eave for New York.

CLOSE OF A SUCCESSFUL YEAR. "i _ n>»» ta Wh»t Ui« Forthcoming Report •f the Ftah CommlMloa It EiWashington, June 26.—The work of the fish commission is practically completed for this year. According to the officials of the commission, when the reports are sent July 1, they will show that it has been the most successful year !n the history of the commission. The great bulk of the work has been in. the collection and distribution of the eggs and fry of commercial food fish, and this year more cod, pike, perch, bass, flatfish and lobster hove been planted than ever before. Fully as many shad'have been planted this year as last, when the high-water mark in shad propagation was reached. The great commercial value of the work done by the fish commission can best be illustrated in the case of shad. The catch of shad in 1885 was 5,000,000. The sys- \ tematic collection of eggs and distribution of shad fry.since that year have increased the catch annually until this year it reached 13,000,000. At the same time the cost of shad has been decreased to the consumer more than 30 per cent. The value of th# catch this year was upwards of $800,000. This result has been obtained by the commission with a total expenditure of $42,000. A Successful Experiment. So successful "was the experiment, made several years ago for the introduction of shad and striped bass on the Pacific coast that the planting of those two food fishes on that coast has been suspended. The shad catch on the Pacific now ranges between one and two millions annually. The total cost of introducing the shad into the Pacific waters was but $5,000. So plentiful have the striped bass become in the Pacific coast streams since their introduction that they can be purchased in the market of the coast cheaper the year around than in the eastern market. When they were first introduced they brought one dollai

At the California Stations. The work at the California stations this year, has been confined to the propagation of the commercial salmon and the sock-eye and steel-head trout, Oved 40,000,000 eggs hare been distributed from these stations. From the five Oregon stations on the Columbia river 20,000,000 fry have been planted in the Pacific coast streams. The new station at Baker’s Lake, Washington, established for the propagation of blueback and silver salmon, will begin operations July 1. In the Rock Mountain Region. j In the Bocky mountain region there are stations in Montana, Colorado and South Dakota for the propagation oI eastern brook trout, grayling,- and mountain or black spotted trout. From these stations 6,000,000 fry were distributed in the streams of Colorado, Washington, Idaho, Montana, SoHtli Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and Indian territory.,, From the middle states stations in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Texas for the propagation brook and rainbow trout, black bass and erappie, 1,000,000 fry of all kinds were distributed in stocking private ponds and streams and some public waters. From the stations on the great lakes where the white fish, lake trout, herring, perch and walled-eyed pike are collected, 730,000,000 eggs of all kinds were taken, and 500,000,000 of fry planted. At the shad stations at Bullockvillle, Ga.; Edenton, N. C.; Bryan’s Point, Va.; Havre de Grace and Gloucester, in the Delaware, 300,000,000 shad eggs were collected, and 230,000,000 fry planted in all the important streams from Florida to Massachusetts. There are stations in Virginia and Tennessee for the propagation of black bass and trout, but these have done little this year.

Largeit stations In tne World,. In Massachusetts there are two the latest marine fish culture stations in the world. At these the cod, pollock, flatfish (flounder) and lobster are propagated. Over 3,000,000 cod eggs were collected here and between 150,000,000 and 200,000,000 fry distributed. Over 40,000,000 flatfish were planted. The lobster season has not yet closed. Over 100,000,000 eggs have already been taken, and it is expected that 50,000,000 more will be taken before the close of the season. JUMPED FROM EADS BRIDGE. 4 Fool’s Venture, oh a Bet for Beer* Nearly Costs Him His Life. St. Louis, June 26.—Miles McDonald, a youth of 20, living at No. 3023 Magazine street, dived from the top of the south railing of the Eads bridge about 10 a. m., yesterday, to win a wager of beer, which ha had banteringly made with some of his fellow workmen. The distance was 115 feet; He alighted on his shoulders, and the upper part- of his back, and had it not been for the prompt assistance of a beat crew, which was in readiness, he would have been drowned. As it was, he sustained injuries which yjill be with him for some time to come. Demies the Charge* of Bribery. Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—A special to the Constitution from Anniston, Ala., says: “Judge J. H. King, of this city, was receiver of public moneys at Perry, Ok la., under the last democratic administration, and is probably the J. H. King referred to in the dispatch frern Guthrie as being charged with bribery. He denounces as wilful and malicious lies any charges connecting him with bribery or an official corruption as receiver of th*' United States land office. He asserts that his record is clear. _E

TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS. «udrc4i of R«iporim to Uvitotiona to Attest the Peopoeed t oofereac* In Chlearo IsSeptenber. . Chicago, June 26.--Secretary Easley; of the civic federation of Chicago, under whose auspices a conference will he held in Chicago September 13-16 to consider trusts and combination and legislation for their control, has received hundreds of letters from prominent men all over the country accepting invitations to be present at the meetings. <*• Sterlin* Mort«»’a View*. In acknowledging the receipt of an invitation to attend, ex-Seeretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska. said: “Trusts which are overcapitalized are born of the' machinations of shallow and impractical men. They will fail, and no one be harmed except those whose credulity led them to invest in their seeurjtpil. Mach Misapprehension Exists. “There is much misapprehension as to incorporated capital incite United States. Oratorical vagari&ts have endeavored to make common people belive that incorporations are not subject to the economic laws of competition, and that the relation of supply to demand is not the sole regulator of value. The fact, however, remains that money invested in manufactories or railroads belonging- to im-orpora-tions is no stronger, no better, and no more exempt from the operation of commercial laws than money which is owned by individuals. There need be, in my judgment, no aprehension as to the trusts crushing out all competition. With the exception of the oil trnst and the sugar trust, failure among trusts has been universal The whisky trust, the- tobacco trust, and all the other trusts of importance up to date, except those that have been formed very recently, have been complete failures. "

taniei Leuuc to These failures hare come; firstly, from over-capitalization; and, secondly, from mismanagement. Intelligent competition can enter the field against any trust on earth except one which has a natural monopoly (by this I mean one which, like the Standard Oil Co., owns the only oil-producing lands in the country), and puts its products upon the markets with the sympathy of the consumer all- on its side. By this I mean that outside of the trust, co-partnerships and stock companies may be formed with eapital^energy and ability to successfully take the market against any and all tirust products except those which are the results of a natural monopoly. So Remedy im Legislation. “What can be accomplished by legislation or regulatory laws I can not see, nor do I look to such Jaratments for a remedy for any evils that may grow out of trusts. Of course, it is fashionable, it is epidemic, to denounce all large aggregations of capital as s ‘trusts.’ This mania will at last exhaust itself, and the country will find that those who have been damaged by trusts were those who bought their securities for more than they were Dr. Lyman Abbott, of New York, says: “I think what we most need on the subject of industrial, commercial, labor and transportation combinations, is just what your letter indicates this meeting will endeavor to secure: Light, not heat. What we need to understand, and what only experience can teach us, is the relation between competition and combination, the one the centrifugal, the other centripetal force of society. He who belives only in combition will logical!/ be led to socialism; who believes only in competition, will logically be led to Nihilism. Neither of these results can furnish the solution of the problems which now confront us. Wmmt] must learn how to secure the advantages of combination without destroying the individual to maintain the brotherDr. Lyman Abbott Ham View*.

Sympathy with the Movement. Hundreds of letters have ‘been received, the writers in nearly every case expressing sympathy with the purposes of the conference, Attorney-General Monett of Ohio fears he may not be able to be: present on account of having to attend the Ohio courts, but he says he will try to be present and participate in such a way as “I may be able along the lines that I am especially interested in.” ■ :.-0m Cannot Bind the Board 1m Any Way. Frank S. Gardner, secretary of the board of trade and transportation of New York, writes concerning the appointment of three members of the board which the president has .been authorized to make: “I beg to say, however, that this hoard has never taken any action on the subject of trusts and combinations, and the fact that we send three delegates cannot, nor can the views that may be expressed by our delegates commit this board in any way.** _i_ Bmrmed to Deatk in Hi* Home. Jamestown, N. Y„ June-.-m>,—The house of Andrew Johnson, a lake engineer at Mayville, was burmed this monring. Johnson burned tar' death. Alder Will Wot-Go to Europe. Detroit, Mich., June 26.—In an interview yesterday, Got. Pingrse stated that Secretary Alger would not leave the cabinet to aecept a foreign appointment. Said the governor: “He knows better than to go over to Europe when he,has a senatorial light m> in Michigan.” Preparing; for tfce Won®,; London, June 26.—The government at the South African republic, ing to a dispatch to the Daily Mail, from Borne, is ordering large ^uanti ties of rifles from Italian firms for immediate shipment.
