THE SAN FRANCISCO -CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1896. 5 </ The proposed emergency callisthe chio topic of talk at the armories. It is said the troops are not to be cajled out to as- certain the number of men that can be * rallied within a given time, but rather to show the condition, so far as equipment is concerned, of the men responding to _the call. Take for example Major Sime's battalion of the First Infantry. When his troops are formed in line ready for duty,’it may be noted here many of the .men have serviceable overcoats, blankets, ‘canteens and baversacks. The same ob- servation may be made in the other bat- talions. One would suppose that ordin- ary inspection of equipment would im- part the information desired in this re- spect, but the emergency call may pre- sent the deficiency in the light of an ob- ject lesson. The election of a Legislature largely publican leads men of “the National rd to believe that a fair appropriation of public money for the guard will be made at Sacramento next winter. ever may be the political opinion of the men 1n the guard, it is generally acknowl- edged that the Repuplicans are more liberal in supporting the military arm of the State than the opposition, composed of Democrats and Populisis. There does not seem to be any demand for an increase in the numerical strength of the guard, yet there are many men of good, sound judgment in military _matters who con- iend that the Secoad Brigade, located in San Francisco, should have a battery of light artillery. Others still entertain the notion tnat the First Infantry should be organized as an artillery regiment and in- structed in the handling of the modern | guns now mounted in the batteries to de- fend the harbor. The same idea was in vogue when the oid Second Artillery, N. G. C., was or- ganized, but auring the entire existence of that organization no instruction was given in other than infantry drill. Itis conceded by many who are weil posted in military affairs that a mistake was mude wh n the light artillery of the brig- - ade was reorganized out of existence. A brigade of infantry ought to have at least one battery of tield artillery. Considering that California has been so liberal in allowance of money to build up and sustain a creditable division of State troops, tue Congressional delegation from this State should manage to procure from the War Depariment five or six of the new rifled breech-loading guns, such as are now used by the light batteries in the reg- ular service. Next to New York and Pennsylvania, California is the most enterprising State of the Union in the duty of maintaining a well-organized military force. The con- stitution requires this maintenance from every State, but many have observed the letter rather than the spirit of the require- ment. On a proper submission of the facts to the War Department, California *should be able to secare from the Govern- ment a proper equipment of arms for the National Guard. Concerted action on the part of the Governor, the United States Senators and the Representatives in Con- gress should be able to obtain what the sbeen officially transmitted S8acramentc to indicate whether Governor Budd, the commander-in-chief, has accepted the resignation of Colonel George B. Sperry, inspector-general of Tifle practice. Colonei F. 8. Chadbourne, paymaster- " general on the Governor's staff, has re- turnea from Chicago and New York. Dur- ing his absence he sustained the loss of his mustache.

G. H., 10 £hoot a maich &t 200 yards with 100 men against a like pum- ber of men from the First Regiment Iniantry, N.G. C., was duly received, and 1 Fave the honor to inform you that at a special meeting of the officers held last evening it was unani- mously voted to accept said challenge, pro- vided you will permit us to make a slight change in reference to the rifle used by one of ihe companies, whic ) is armed by the Govern- ment with the Lee-Remington, all the other companies being ermed with the Springfietd. As you have asked us to name the date, We would suggest that it take place between the 1st and 15th of January, 1897; captains of the respective teams to_notify representatives of opposing teams of date sclected by his team. Consul-General C. T. Wilder will represent our team in San Francisco, and will also rep- resent us in the matter of the trophy. We will communicate with him by this mail. The interest that will attend such an inter- national match is sure to result in good shoot- ing for both regiments. May the best team win. I have the'honor to be, very respectiully, your obedient servant, . H. MCLEAN, Colonel First Regimeat, N. G. H. Colonel Macdonald of the First Infantry was seen last evening and asked if the modification desired by Colonel McLean of the Harrison Guard weould be accepta- ble. He replied that no objection would be interposed to the use of the Lee-Rem- ington rifle. The challenge is now ac- cepted and the California guardsmen may heve to do some first-class shooting to win the trophy. There was a good deal of talk abouta day’s outing this month for the First R-egiment,butas the holidaysare approach- ing and requiring the constant attention of many of the men of the regiment at their places of employment, the field-day may be postponed until February 22. Now that the match «ita the Harrison troops isno longer a conjecture, but an assvred fact, it will require some active work to retone hundred men in good shooting form by the middle of January. Colonel Macdonald asserts that there is ¢ misanprehension as to th2 re-enlistmen the ¥irst Regiment. He maintains tha he regiment is stronger than it was im- media‘ely after the reorganization, and thatitis gaining, rather than declining in strength. Apart from the strength in numbers, the Colonel contends that there is a vast improvement in the material now enlisting, Officers are working to- What- | gether in harmony, and the enlisted men are taking a deep interest in the welfare of | the organization. Thirty members of the Signal Corps, under command of Lieutenant Phil Per- kins, all in fatigue uniiorm, left the armory on Ellis street yesterday morn- ing at 9 o'clock for a mounted practice drill. The signalers presented a fine ap- pearance, each naving secured a first-class borse. They rode west and turned into Point Lobos avenue, continuing until the ocean boulevard was reached. The march was then to a point on the beach near where the roed leads to Ingle- side, and there the members of the corps were driiled for more tnan an hour; and, while the evolutions were very commend- able, the drizzling rain interfered in a measure with the comfort of the men. After a rest and lunch the cor{m sprang into the saddle again, rode to Ingleside, from there along the Alms:ouse road ana through Golden Gate Park to the armery, arriving there at 3:30 o'clock. | Colonel D, B. Fairbanks, Fifth Infantry | Regiment, has recently made experiments with reloading tools,” and is convinced that cartridges can be reloaded with high- grade ammunition for §13 50 a thousand. Captain Charles T. Poulter, Company A, Fifth Infantry, will provably be re-elected as captain of the company. An clection will soon take place in Com- pany G of the Fifth to fill the vacan caused by the resignation of Captain Wil- liam F. Chipman. Gossip is going around to the effect that Lieutenant E. 8. Heller, inspector of rile practice, Fifth Infantry, may accept a po- | sition on the Governor's staff. Third Brigade. H MERCED, Car., Nov. 8. —Now that the election and the excitement and interest attendant upon it are things of the past the members of Company H are again turning their attention to matters mili- | tary, and the winter’s armory work will be prosecuted with vigor. Especial att n. tion will be paid to the setting-up exer- | cises, bavonet exercise and the details of | execution in the manual of arms and foot | movements._ The last regimental orders announce the | discharge of SergeantiChristopher Sehrt, | Corporals Jonn F.

PUNCHING HOLES FOR MEDALS Lively Rifle and Pistol Contests at Shell Mound. Strecker Leads for the Diamond Priz: Donated by W, Unfred. SHOOTING FOR BEST BULLSEYES The Blanding Trophy Causes Spirited Rivalry in the Columbia Club. It was a great day for the rifle and pistol shooters at Sheil Mound yesterday. From 9 o’clock in the forenoon until as late as the targets could beseen there was a lively rattle of muskets and sporting rifles inter- spersed with the spiteful crack ot the 22- caliber pistols and rifles on the fifty-yard range adjoining. Taken on a whole the light was good. 1In the earlier part of the day there was a stiff breeze from the west that kept the marksmen shifting there wind gauges. The marksmen were the Nationals, Veteraus of the National Guard, Independent Rifl s, Germanias, 8an Fran- cisco Schuetzen Vereir, Norddeutschen Verein and the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. The latter club held its regular monthly medal and prize contests. As the end of the year approaches the interest becomes more intense, as there are a number of valuable medals hanging in the air, so to speak, which at present no one can lay very much claim to. A. Strecker is in the lead for the fine Unfred diamond medal. Yesterday in three shots he made 7, or an average of a two and one- third inch circle. On another re-entry in the same match he made 10 points or an average of three and one-third inches to a shot. This pats him 11 points ahead of F. O. Young. D. W. McLaughlin is a close third and promises te pull deeper into the contest now that he'has increased the weight of his 38 Ballard by encasing the barrel in a scction of bicycle frame tube. The medal is worth the effort. The Glindermann rifle medal filled the stand with muskets, and those who did | not really enter into the competition did | considerable practice for an effort before the season closes four weeks hence. There is another reason for the practice. A St Louis rifle and pistol club, compossd of several hundred members, is carrying & | chip on its shoulder, and at the last meet- ing of the Columbias the secretary was in- structed to see what kind of an all-round match for fine rifle, musket, pistol and revolver could be arranged. On the 50-yara pistol range the contests were even more exciting. The Bianding pistol medal, presented by Gordon Bland-, Tie man making the best ten scures of tbree shots to each score takes the prize. Asitis a re-entry maich, there are sey- eral who spend their entire time shooting in this contest. When the target closed last evening, Charlie Daiss was in the lead on the total of ten scores with 66 points, His best score was 2, 1, 1—4, which was a dupvlicate of one made by F. O. Young pre- uiously. A. H. Pape is next highest, with a total of 72, J. E. Gorman third, with 77, F. C. Young fourth, with 79. There is no hittle interest in the 22-cali- ber rifle contest.

Under suck auspicious circam- stances the 'comparatively poor scores made would seem to indicate that both men were a trifle nervous. Woenne was undemably in that condi- tion so disasirous to marksmen, seeing that he ruined a performance of average | merit by firing no less than three wides. J. Wollmer, the former hero of a dead center, is older and more seasoned; the | result, therefore, is no reflection upon Woenne’s ability. The latter is a promis- SAW PARIS IN ALL HER GLORY Rev.

Rev. John Hemphill, pastor of Calvary Presby terian Church, occupied his pulpit yesterday morning for the first time in two mounths. Dr. and Mrs. Hemphill returnea last week from a rather hurried trip to Europe. The long journey across the continent and the Atlantic was made for private business purposes only, but in his flving itinerary Dr. Hemphill caught mental snapshots of many beautiful and wonderful scenes which he reproduces in vivid and enter- taining description. “We went to New York by the old over- land route,” the doctor said to a CALL rep- resentative, ‘‘and stopped for afew days in Philadelphia, where I preached. I did not occupy my old church, but the doors of that place of worship were closed in the evening and the pastor and congregation came to give their old minister a royal welcome. Being a loyal American, who believes in patronizing home industries, I took the steamer VYaris of the American line at New York. It was aspeedy and pleasant trip, just seven days being con- sumed. “We immediately crossed the Channel to Paris, where we stayed twelve days. “We were fortunaie in being in Paris when the Czar of the Russias was feted. We were further fortunaie in having a balcony on the Champs Elysees, where the grand procession was at its best. We were delighted to have Henry L. Dodge and his wife, oid California friends, on the balcony with us. Paris is always beauti- ful, and the Parisians have a happy faculty of decorating, so we saw it at its best. It was a sight worth going all the way to Paris to see. ‘‘We crossed over io London and stayed at the Cecil Hotel, one of the newest of London’s great hostelries and owned and controlled by an American syndicate. *‘Paris and London are as unlike each other as can be.

From the appended scores it will ‘be seen that Wolimer nearly re- peated his feat of two weeks azo. His ninth bullet wentclean through the second figure 1n the 25 ring: J. Wollmer—9, 19, 18, 23,22, 13, 19 10, 6, 14, 20, 16, 15, 16, 14, 11, 17, 16, 15— 8. Emil Woenne—13, 16, 12, 0; 20, 14, 12, 16, 14, 9, 0, 17, 23, 12, 0, 18, 4, 18, 19, 14—251. Both the foregoing scores were beaten by Hampel, the referee, and C. Peach, a new member of the club, though neither verformance was on the programme. Mr. Hampel, however, intimated -that such eminently favorable meteorological con- ditions deserved a more ‘grateful recogni tion on the part of C. 8. C. marksmen than bad been accoraed them, and forth- with made the following excellent scores, which may be left to speak for them- selves: 19, 21, 23, 18, 19, 19, 18, 22, 18, 19, 18, 19, 18, 19, 17, 20, 21, 19, 18, 24, 17--386. C. Peach's twenty shots were as follows: 18,.20, 39, 22, 21, 20, 19, 17, 18, 21, 23, 23, 21, 22, 16, 18, 9, 19, 15, 19—380.

The gold procession in New York on the Saturday preceding the election was supberb. Philadelphia was a sight never to be forgotten. An American flag hung out of almost every building. I counted fifty magniticent flags over the Union League. “‘We stopped election day in Chicago. The- feeling there was very intense, yet everything was quiet and orderly. “On my journey I heard services and preachers of all sorts, but Joseph Parker of the City Temple, London, was the great- est of them all. Although an Independent, or what would be calied a Congregational- ist here, he paid a glowing tribute to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had diea that day. “I am tired of globe-trotting,” con- cluded the Doctor, “and I am ready to settle down again to hard work.”" Y AWAITING A MESSIAH. An Apostle of Apostles Predicts Dark- ness and Light. Mr. Davenport, who announced himself as an evangelist of the Catholic Apostolic church, preached in Oad Fellows’ Hall last night on “'Our Lord’s Second Coming.”” He comnienced his discourse by saying that he wus not opposed to the orthodox churches and ministers, but sustained them. ‘He was obposed toall that tends to divide the church. He explained that the second coming of Christ meant the re- turn of the same man Jesus who was upon the earth almost two thcusand years ago. Almighty God, he saiq, is about to allow society 10 fall into confusion and disaster, becanse men refuse to look to him and to his son. Men will fail so low that they will be willing to turn for help to God, and heip will come in answer to the cry of those who sea they have failed to help themselves. The dark cloud which now ihreatens the world is to burat and sweep away all institutions which oppose God, making way for the coming of Christ, the savior of the world. The church is the instrument by which Christ will help to rule the world. She must suffer terribly, even to persecution, in the great tribulation which is about to try all men who dwell upon the earth, to prepare her for her Bavior's personal presence. Not only is a time of trouble and deso- lation close upon us, but there is a ray of bright light. God has sent help to the church. He bas sent her an offer of help and has commenced to reorganizs if. He has restorea the gifts of the Holy Ghost and the office of apostle. Mr. Davenport was very explicit that he himself is not an apostie, but was sent by restored apostles to declare to the reople of San Francisco that God has sent help to prepare for the coming of our Lord. ———— Extraordinary quaiities are possessed by the River Tinto, in Spain.
