President Roosevelt Tells the Young Soldiers What Their Duty Is. Private Titus Honored. The celebration ot the one hun dredth anniversary of the establish ment of the West Point Military Academy reached Its climax Wednes day. President Roosevelt was the chief guest, and there was a brilliant crowd, Including army and navy offi cers, cabinet officers, ladles In bright costumes and handsomely-uniformed diplomats. The day's activity be Ran with the arrival ot the President, and then came a review of the cadets, a reception at the home of the super intendent ot the academy. Colonel Mills, the formal exercises and speeches In Memorial hall after lunclieuu, and the dress parade at sundown. The "centennial" ban quet, with more than 500 guests, was held In the evening. When the Presi dent reached the crest a salute of 21 guns was fired. The cadets were drawn up on the parade ground. The President was driven to the home of Colonel Mills and then he walked across the street to the parade ground anil reviewed the cadets. In the course of the review Cadet Calvin P. Titus was called from the ranks to fare the President, who pinned a medal for bravery on his breast and spoke a few words to him after the following order had been read: "Sir: I have the honor to Inform you that by direction of the President, and in accordance with the act of Congress, approved March 3, 18G3, providing for tho presentation of medals of honor to such ofilcers, non-commissioned of ficers and privates as have most dis tinguished themselves In action, the Secretary ol War has awarded to you c medal of honor for gallantry at Peking, China. August 14, 1900." Colonel Mills made an address of wel come and then Introduced President Roosevelt, who said in part: "This Institution lias completed Its first hun (bed years of life. During that cen tury no other educational Institution In the land has contributed as many names as West Point has contributed to the honor roll of the nation's cltl zens. I claim to be a historian and 1 speak simply as a reciter of facts when I say what I have said; and more than thnt not merely has West Point contributed a greater number of the men who stand highest on the nation s honor roll, but I think be yond question thnt, taken as a whole the average graduate of West Point during the hundred yea 13 has given a greater amount of service to the country through his life than has the average graduate of any other Insti tution In this broad land. The de velopment of warfare during the last few years have shown that In the fu- tura the unit will not be the regiment, nor yet the company, but the unit will be the Individual man. If he does not know how to shoot, how to shift for himself, how both to obey orders and to accept responsibility when an emergency comes, when he won't have any orders to obey If he Is not able to do all of that you had better have lilm out of the army. In a battle hereafter each man Is going to be to a considerable extent alone. It will be so that the youngest officers will have to take much of the responsibility that In former wars fell on their sen iors, and many of the enlisted men wlil have to do most of their work without any supervision of any of ficer. You want to realize that more than ever before the honor or the shame of the country depends upon the high average of character and ca pacity In the enlisted men can to a large degree only be obtained through you, the officers," The orator ot the day was General Horace Porter, am bassador to France, who reviewed the history ot the academy since its foundation.

Demands of Industry and Trade Is Not Impeded by Strikes Crop Prospects Good. R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: No diminution In business Is apparent from labor con troversies, owing to the prosperous condition of the agricultural sectl? and the bright outlook for this yeJr crop. Retail distribution of light weight apparel has felt the stimulus ot higher temperature. Railway earn ings in May were 8.7 per cent, larger than last year and 21.7 per cent above those of 1900. There continues to be a wide discrepancy between the amount ot business offered and the contraots closed In many branches of the Iron and steel Industry, owing to tho inability of producers to assure delivery at a special time. Con tracts running well Into next year indicate that the end of activity is not near. Pressure is still most conspicuous for railway and struct ural supplies, and agricultural Im plement works are crowded with or ders. Sales of Bessemer pig iron at Pittsburg for delivery next year were recently made at $16.50, while Imme diate shipments command about $5 more. Limited stocks are still the cause of steadiness In all branches of textiles. Holders are not urging sales and buyers show a disposition to wait. Purchasers ot cotton goods are influenced by the prospect of cheaper raw material after the new crop begins to move. Cotton rose fteadtly on a few unfavorable weather reports, but the outlook is ery bright In many States. Tardy deliveries ot sample pieces by the woolen mills have caused complaint among the clothiers and fall orders are not placed freely. Wool sells more freely at leading eastern mar kets and quotations are steady. No change ot Importance has occurred in leather. - Hides are again strong with Texas steers leading the market and foreign dry hides do not yield to lower bids. Grain markets have shown the effect of conflicting crop estimates and weather reports. Fail ures for the week numbered 162 in the United States against 179 lost year, and 20 In Canada compared with 22 a year ago. Bradstreet's says: Wheat. Includ ing flour, exports for the week aggre- gate 3,400,314 bushels, against 4,600. 055 last week and 4,791.107 this week last year.
