Gauzy Circulars Being Seat Out | , Freely in Alameda County. A Hard Fat: Certainiy Waits for P ople Wto Make Such Crezy C-uises. OARLAND OFFICE 908 E The old bark Mermaid whic: off the mut the is st 1 was towed 2 few days ago who have watched it its moorings for so long a time. Circulars are being freel ated all over the city setting forth that by yment of $100 one share can be ob- tained in the South Eea Islands Minin, aud Colonization Company of San Fran. cisco. These circulars set forth in ing terms the prospect of wealth and a happy life on the Solomon Island, eight degrees south of the Equater, and inter- ested parties are invited to correspona with A. 8. Lowndes of San Francisco. Itis stated that there is a pranch otfice in this city, but so far no one has been able to locate it. The announcement says that the ‘‘fast-csailing bark Mermaid,” which expression causes all Qaklanders who nave lately been around the estuary to smile, has been fitted out for the expe- dition and will sail in a few days. The de- tails of the affair are much the same as those set forth in connection with the Reinhardt fiasco, which sailed some time | ago for the manlass isles of the South Sea. The great objects of the expedition as noted in the prospectus are on arriving at the islands “'to erect a sawmill, carry on ship-building, stock-raising and agricule ture, the latter including cotton, coftee, sugarcane, tobacco, rye and indigo."” Henry Walton, the first mate of & British ship now in port, wito_is well ac- quainted with the Solomon Islands, re- ceived one of these circulars. The specu- lators could hardly have placed itin less ofitable hands, for Mr. Walton makes | no secret of the probable future of any such expedition. “The class of men that are likely to bite at such a prospectus as this,” 'he said, “‘had better commit_suicide before tiey sail. The Solomon Islands are about the most unlikely place for white men to set- tle in that [ know of. A iarge portion of the population are savages, “pure and and men who go on such schemes as this' are not likely to do much ship- building or agriculiure eight degrees south of the equator. *It is from these islands that tne blackbird’ catchers employed by the sugar-planters of New South Wales and Victorfa procure the men who work on their sugar fields and they are known to be a treacherous, lazy lot of fellows, who are only valuable because tiey can work 1n the bot sun. “These islands are already partly pro- tected by two European governmenis and | even under them it is not at ail easy to prevent fierce tribal fighting. The Solo- mon Islands is a locality where a man is just as likely to be eaten as not and cer- tainly the portions of the islands whera such cranks wonld go, who would take part in such an expedition as this, would naturaily be the wildest and least safe.

Will Money B2 Appropriated for Brigade Encamrments in the South? The Guardsmen Will So:n By Armed With the Improv d Springfiz d Rifl s—Inspactions Needed. There is in existence for the use of the National Guard of the State of California a book that is commonly known as the | “red book' from the color of the cover. It purports to be & book of instruction for that it was published in 1899 and sinc: | then a grea: number of changes have been made in the guard, one of which was its entire reoganization, the red book as it is now 1s of no use except to confuse those who read it. Several months ago a num- | ber of prominent National Guard officers greed to revise it and make such changes s would bring it up to date and make it accord with the changed laws, but beyond the promises nothing hus been done. The that will give the men an opportunity to know, as & phrase of the day goes, “where they are at.’’ the State certainly ought to have suffi- rules and regulations that will give every member of the guard a clear understand- ing of his position and duties. The matter of filling the vacancy in the | office of judge-advocate on the staff of the division commander is not yet settled., The major-general has mada his selection, but the nominee, Colonel H. P. Bush, re- tired, has expressed a determination not to accept unless it is with the rank on which he was retired. Whether this can be done or not is another matter. One section of the law is very positive in as. serting that a retired officcr must hold the rank atiached to the position to which he is assigned, and in this case the rank of the judge-advocate is lieutenant-colonel. There is another section which may be construed by a stretch of it as allowing a retired officer to be detailed for a specific duty on his rank. For the good of the sorvice, and to avoid the setting of a precedent that would give every man in | the guard the right to say “If the supe- | rior officer can quibble with the law why cannot I do so?” the retired colonel, if he wishes 10 take an active part in the guard, | | shou!d accept the pousition tendered him | with the rank it carries, and if he feels that he cannot afford to be disrated he ought to give some one else a chance. The great need of the guard at this ti is inspections that should be made by offi- cers detailed lor that purpose at times when the inspec.ing officers are not ex- pected. Such officers could, unannounced, visit the armories on drill nights and see how the men drill when the inspector is not looked for. By such visits the inspec- tor could discover exactly what tbe men doand suggest reforms that would re- dound to the benefit of the guard. The adjutant-general has consented to allow the First Infautry and the Fifth In- fantry of the Second Brigade to hoid regi- | mental encampments as asked for, but no amount has yei been apportioned for such. The brigades in the southern part of the State want brigade encampments, but if such, instead of regimental or battalion encempments, are allowed, it will, for cost of transportation, make a tersible inroad in- | to the camp appropriation,without it is the expressed opinion of National guardsmen, | producing any beneficial results, for the | reason that for several years the men have | had but little opportunity to come to- | gether as regiments and are not as weil up in regimental drill as they might be. In a seven-day regimental camp they could learn something that would be of benefit to them, while 1n a seven-day brig- ade camp they would have to go through maneuvers that toey know little or noth- ing about, and by the time they acquired the first principles of it it would be time to return home. The money appropriated for camp purpose shou!d e used 50 as to do the greatest good to the surrd. The adjutan -general bas sent arequest to the War Depsrtment at Wasnington, | . C., for the Btate’s quota of the Spring- | field "rifles that were discarded for the Krag-Jorgensens. A number of canteens and haversacks jor the use of the guard are on the way to the distributing point and will be ready tor delivery in due time. Itis probable thai the First Infantry, Becond Brigade, will be ordered to parade on Memorial day with George H.

It isexpected that within thirty days the members of the First Regiment will be armed with the latest issue of the Springfleld rifles, which have been called for by the adjutant-general. They will also receive the Webb cartridge belts that have been ordered. There will be a meeting to-night ot the board of officers of the First Regiment In- fantry, which will be the first since Colonel Swith assumed command. The election of captain of Company D, First Regiment, was held last Friday night. Major Wagner presided, and as Second Lieutenant Thomas J. McCreagh was the only candidate his election was made unanimous. Then followed the election of second lieutenant. The candidates were Frank W. Newbert. first sergeant, and Charies J. | White, second sergeant. After a spirited contest Sergeant White was elected by a vote of 32 t025. Tha new captain has been in the guard for nine years, three ears of which he has been lieutenant. eis very popular with his company. The new second lientenant has served for seven years in the company as private, corporal and sergeant, d he will no doubt be an efficient assistant to the new captain. | "'Lieutenant-Colonel Duboce, while ou: | yachting a week ago last Sunday on the i{vum ings, met with an acc'dent by which one of his knees was wrenched and he was in consequence confined to his home for a week.
