St. Ions Mo October 10.
The proceedings In connection w.th
the twelfth annual reunion of Mexican
Veterans cf the 131C-4S war were contin-
ued yesterday morning. The Inaugural
meeting on Wednesday was held at Pope's
Theater but as the theater was not
available for tha subsequent gatherings
they were h;ld In Druid's ITall. There
were about 500 of the veterans In attend.
ancc. Several ladles wer! also present
and a number ot visitors.
General M. D. Monson presided. The
proceedings la the morning were ct a
business character. Nearly three hours
were occupied In going through the roll
of the veterans. Several attempts were
nude to take the list as read but the
meetii g In.-istcd on the roll being called
and each man having an opportunity cl
seeing that his name and address and
the company and regiment iu which he
served were correctly set fcrth on the
muster-roll.
Alter Secretary A. M. Kenaday had
completed the reading ot the list Gen
era. Johl D. Stevenson of this city
de' vered an oration in which he
sraphically recounted the details of
the war and the exploits of the volun-
teers under Generals Taylor Winfle d
Scott Doniphan Harney and Price
lie said tie record ot the Mcx-cia
war was one of ublch those who took
part In it might well be proud. The
National Leg! lature had failed to
properly recognize their services and
rightly they were amar-d and Indig-
nant at the repeated rejections of their
demand. No National cum teries con-
tained the bones ot their dead comrades.
They were moldcring oa the fields where
the heroes fell. The Mexicaa war
soldiers had received few testimonies
ot their country's gratitude but they
had raised an Impcri-hable monument
In the shape of the territory which
was added to the country by their
valor and endurance. The address was
enthusiastically received by the veter-
ans who accorded General Stevenson
a hearty vote ot thanks at its clos:.
RESOLUTIONS.
The committees then reported. Oa the
recommends! I n ot the committee four
resolutions were unanimously accepted
by the meeting. The first congratulated
the association on ths attendance of so
many veterans at the reunion and ex-
pressed sympathy with the telatlves ol
veterans who had died since the last
annual gathering at Washington. The
others bad reference to the pension ques-
tion. The first was to th fleet that ths
services ot the soldiers ol the Mexican
war entitled them to ths rams recognl
tion at .he hands of the Government as
those n ho had borne arms In th defense
of the honorand Integrity of the country
oo other fields. Toe second set forth
that the veterans regarded is unjust the
discrimination schlch had been made
against them In the matter ol pensions
and asked Congress to comply with the
demands of tha twenty-eight States by
placing the few survivors of Jhe wsr
upoa the pension roll on equal terms
with the pensioners of the war ot
ISIS. The last resolution declared that
wbde the bill passed the House ot Rep-
resentatives last session was acceptable
to the veterans they protested against
the Senate amendments manr of which
it was asserted wero outrageous and of.
fcred for th: sole purpose ot defeating
the bill.
There was some discussion as to th-
dcslrabillty of passing a vote thinks to
Martin L Townsheud Congressman ot
Illinois for his eifurts to pass the pen-
ston hllL It was however general y
deemed inadvisable to pus a special vote
to Mr. Townshend and a resolution was
adopted thanking all the members of
Houses who stood by the cause f the
veterans In the effort to pass the pensions
bilL
A resolution was next passed expres-
sive of the egret of the veterans at the
death ot Mr. Reynold. ot Philadelphia
who for some years h.d acted as Mar-
shal at the annual reunions.
Oa the recommendation of the Com-
mittee on Organization General J W.
Denver of Ohio was re-elected Presi-
dent; General M- D. Monsou ot Indiana
Vice-President; A. M. Kenaday of the
District of Columbia Secretary and Ma-
jor Sam I- McFadln Marshal. It was
further decided that two veterans from
each State be added to the list of Vice
Presidents.
The Secretary In his report stated that
there were in thorgatlzttion4lU7 mem-
bers and 3000 tner comrades who were
nominally membersof the bodr although
not entered a lodge members. The Na-
tional Association phulogruph album con-
tained photographs of 350 of the com-
rades. Dunng the year about seventy of
the veterans had died. " Ths report was
adopted and the meeting adjourned until
three o'clock.

tend th reunion. Among th: corre-
spondence was a letter from the Presi-
dent of th: Mexican Republic In r-rplv to

grams ot greeting were also read from

WAsmaoTOS. D. C October U.
Mr. Mm too Chief ot the Bureau ot Statis-
tics yesterday handed In his annual re-
port to the Secretary ot the Treasury.
The matter of chief Importance treated
of Is the emrmous magnitude ot our
internal commerce. It Is shown that
the value of the products of the various
Industries of the United States Is seven
times the total value ot our foreign com
merce; nearly three times the total value
ot the foreign commerce of Great Brit-
ain and Ireland and fire times the to-
tal value of the foreign commerce ot
France Including ln.each case both Its-
ports and exports.
The total value of the products of in-
dustry In the United States is also shown
to be a little more than twice the total
value ot Imports ot merchandlzo from
all the countries of Europe. The United
States Is now the largest manufactur-
ing country on the globe. The value of
products ot American manufacture con-
sumed at home Is fire times th: value ot
the manufactured products ot Great
Britain and Ireland exported to all other
countries and more than fourteen times
the value ot the exports ot manufactured
products from Franco to all other coun-
tries. The relative value ot the Internal as
compared with the foreign commerce ot
the country is also Illustrated by state-
ments shotring that 93 per cent ot the
coal mined in this country 95 per cent
of our Iron and steel products 95 per

irony her. her parents rageily accepted his
oiler. They said nothing to the girl about
their intentions towanls her and Mines
never alluded to It In his dally conversations
wiih her. The Oberts at once began to pre-
pare for the wedding which was set down
for the evening of October 1. Week before
