McKinley’s premier, pronounced a eu

before national memuiial services for
presidents who have died in office have
been held in this hall, two of them
like this, in commemoration of chief
magistrates who htfte fallen by the
hand of an assassin.
George Bancroft, the historian, pro
nounced the eulogy on Lincoln and
Blaine was Garfield’s orator. By a
strange coincidence today was the
twentieth anniversary of that on
which Air. Blaine was in the same ball
and delivered his eulogy on Garfield,
and stranger still, the subject of to
day’s memorial service was the chair
man of the committee who had charge
of the arrangements f«i that occasion.
Oniy one year ago, lees five days, at
the head of an imposing civic and
military procession, McKinley passed

months later the tragedy occurred at
Buffalo and another but different sort

the streets to the rotunda of the capi-
tol, where the tributes of the nations

expressed its living grief.
Market Conditions For the Past Week
Show Activity.
Cleveland. Feb. 27.—The Iron Trade
Review referring to market conditions
this week says:
-The heavy import movement in
steel and a further burst of activity in
foundry iron are the features of the
Iron market for the wt“ck. The buying
of steel in Germany and England now
promises to grow to very considerable
proportions in spite of recent ad
vances abroad. ^ *
“The independent manufacturers at
their meeting in Pittsburg last week
decided to send a commissioner to
England and Germany to buy sheet
liars and he is now on the way. The
amount of the contracts as talked of
will Ik? about 40,000 tons, but it is h?-
lieved a larger tonnage will be need 1.
d liveius extending over the next sr
months. German steel has advance ! j
$1 to $5 since December, and German
bidets are now quoted at $31.50, Pitts
burg, while $34 is asked for sheet bars.
It is believed from 150.000 to 200,u00
tons ot foreign steel will be needed
this year to supplement the domes
tic output, in the foundry iron mar
ket the business closed has been very
heavy. This has been almost entirely
for delivery in the second half of the
year. A variation of fully $1 a ton
appears in current transactions.

GALVESTON SAVED THOUSANDS.
City Not Responsible for Private Prop
erty Seized.
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 27.—By a
decision of the court of civil appeals
the city of Galveston is relieved of
responsibility for private property
seized for public purposes immediate
ly after the great storm of Sept. 8,
190b.
This decision is of great importance
to the city, as following the storm
property of considerable value was
pressed into service by the city au
thorities and if the city were financial
ly responsible for the same an obliga
tion would be created which would
cost the stricken city hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
in the case in point a pair of horses
belonging to A. A. Brown were seized
by the mayor and chief of police and
were driven until one died. Brown
sued for ^20’), the alleged value, and
the lower court found for him. The
court of appeals finds that the seizure
was without authority of the council,
and that the city is not liable.

noon was delightful.

At 9:15 o'clock the cavalry escort gal
