Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, March 20. To-morrow evening the City Council will take up the Mayor's veto, but it is not likely that the matter will arouse much discussion. The committee has al ready decided to refer it back to Council without recommendation, Mr. Henneberry, of resolution fame, w prabably produce the little typewritten paper that he excitedly brought up at the t meeting and which ‘“resolves” that the Mayor has nothing at all to do with the matter, and that his veto be laid on_the table indefinitely. n a few days the Council will have to elect a_new president for the coming year. This means that the personnel of the standing committees will be changed, as each president names his own cholce. It is rumored that the solld six may decide to make Woodward their choice, and as there are but eleven votes they | can do as they please. Buch an act would, of course, ba an insuit to the commun- | ity, but such trifles cut no figure with | men who play into the hands of the | water companies. The manner In which the Water Committee was treated, after its thorough Investigation of the question, letely nullify any work that may be done y any commitiee during the present dministration, for no committee is go- a | ing to dig into any questuon and report | ignored and | |on it, only to be ‘slighted, | voted down, and the solid six has shown | to_what lengths it can and will go. City Attorney Dow will probably be | asked tv g on the question @s to whether it be necessary or not for the Mayor to sign a water-rate ordinance, but if his opinion_does not suit the six Heltmann can be depended upon to state that he is better informed on law than Mr. Dow, and the other flve will fall in | | line. Mr. Henneberry has already given no- | tice that he intends to quote the const- tution of the State to support his con- | tention that it {s impudence on the part of the Mayor to interfere with water | rates.

These meetings are open to all, and Christians from the various churches are invited to be present. They are unsecta- rian. C. H. Yatman, the well-known evange- list, began a series of revival meetings in the First M. E. Church this evening that will” continue for some week: | also give Bible readings at 3:30 daily.

OAKLAND, March 2).—The five-mile | bicycle race between J. Olympics and George Wyman of the Re- | liance Club at Elmhurst to-day resulted | in a victory for the former. At the start Wyman took his position behind Wing and let his pacemakers follow, so that if he should be unable to hold the pace they could pull him up again. The first mile was ridden in 2:18 2-5. In the third lap of the second mile Wing shook Wyman, who was picked up by Egan and Linu but he could not hold the pace, and was soon caught by his clever opponent. In the fourth mile Wyman punctured both tires and retired, leaving Wing to ride {t out alone. The time for the five miles—11:31 4-5. | was very good, considering the | wind with which they had to contend. The baseball gamé was won by Olympic_team with a score of 9 to 4.

The Naval Militia—The Fifth Division at Eureka Celebrates an Old Time Day. Owing to the absence from the city of the division commander, the division headquarters, g0 far as news of the guard is concerned, was closed during the past week. Since last Monday the members of the local companies have been interested in 1[]]& inspections that have been held at | t he regimental armory by Brigade Inspec- tor Major Jansen and Captain Carring- . 8. A., inspector and instructor’ of the National Guard of the State of Cali- All the companies of the First Regiment have been inspected | except C and that are to go through | the ordeal to-night, and Company B, the | inspection of which has been courteously postponed until some future date on ac- count of the absence from the city of the commanding officer, Captain George Fil- mer. Of the nine companies inspected all but Company H made a good numerical showing. That company, commanded by Captain Frank W. Warren, had nine ab- sentees at roll call on Wednesday night. None of the'other companies had an ex- cess of three. Still the showing made by Captain Warren's company was much better than at the previous inspection. Generally speaking all the companies made a good showing, and in appearance | there was a decided improvement over the | inspection of the previous year. Their service uniforms, though much the worse | for age ana wear, showed that they had | been brushed up and made to look as well as they could under the circum- stances, and that they dad been put on with the idea that the uniforms should fit the men and not as in the past, the men forced into uniforms fit or no fit. That ter ich to improve the soldier- appearance of the men. The orders .quired that the men at inspection | should wear the regulation tin cup, as | well as haversacks and canteens. The inspection both by day, when the property was examined, and' by night, when the men were examined, developed the fact that the armory, while a decid- ed improvement on anything in that line previously had in this city, is not what is required for a twelve company, or even eight company, regiment. 'The company rooms have not sufficient space to admit of closet room in which to properly ar- range the uniforms. The drili room, while it is large, is so small that when, as the other evening, onc of the companies was called upon to_drill in extended orders, but one-half of the company could take ments, that is only thirty markable thing that the t the men shall be sol- diers, s to provide them with a proper place, in the shape of an armory, in which théy can learn the duties of & soldier and the vements they are, by the regulations, red to execute. The inspection also disclosed the fact that while the store rooms provided for the eight companies the regimental ar- mories are kept neat and the property therein apparentls well cared for, the space allotted to cach company s much too small. With more room the State property -could be better taken care of, and at each inspection there would be less | property to condemn. The inspection, as far as it has gone in this regiment, aiso hows that there is a deficlency in over- coats and that the men are still armed with_a poor lot of rifles of the pattern | of 1573. "Had the authorities been as ac- tive as they ought to be, the guard at this time would be armed with the mod- ern rifles, thousands of which are now | at the Benicia arsenal, and have been | there since the regulars were furnished with the Krag-Jorgensens. Recently, | Ilinois and Nebraska r applications | for an exchange of the 1573 rifies for the | members of the National Guard, and in a | few weeks they obtained them, because | the men at the head of the guard took an active interest in its welfare. This afternoon the cadet company of the First Infantry will be inspected and to- | morrow night the field and staff officers | will appear before the inspector. The | brigade orders say that the medical corps | will be inspected at the same time, but | that is a mistake, for the inspection of that branch of the service has been left to the discretion of the surgeon-general to name the time, and he has not yet fixed it. Troop A and the signal corps will ¢ inspected on Wednesday. The brigadier inspector, when he has finished with the first regiment, will have a number of recommendations to make. As soon as he has finished the inspec- tlons here, he will proceed to inspect the companies of the First Regiment of In- fantry. | | | THE NAVAL MILITIA. At the election held last Monday at nta Cruz, and over which Lieutenant- Commander Nerny, acting captain of the militia, presided, resulted in the pro- motion of Carl E. Lindsey to the posi- tion of lleutenant, vice Morey, resigned, | 3. C. Doyle, lieutehant junior grande, vicé | Lindsey, promoted, and Thomas Arm- strong, ensign. The order of the Board of Harbor Com- missioners that the Marion shall cast her moorings and go into the stream is not relished by the members of the Naval Militia stationed at this port. Lieutenant- Commander T. A. Nerny, commanding the miiitia during the absence of Captain Turner, who is in Alaska, when informed the other day of the action of the Har- bor Commissioners, and asked what he proposed to do about the matter, made reply in words that were as expressive as the famous answer of Cambron on the field of Waterloo, when told by an ‘English general that the guard must sur- render, The ground for asking the re- moval is_that there is a lack of wharf room. Now the officers of the battalion are at a loss to understand how there can be a lack of room when there were two berths empty for several days just above the Marion. The matter will' be called to the attention of the Governor and it is asserted that the Marfon will not be moved until the order to do so | comes from the commander-in-chief.

EUREKA, March 19.—On the 15th of March, 1879, Company A of the inen Tenth Infantry, N. G. C., was organized at Eureka, Humboldt County. and was assigned to the then Sixth Brigaae. On each 15th of March subsequent to the or- ganization Company A gave a grand ball, and that was continu until 1895, when on a reorganization of the National Guard Company A was merged into the Fifth Division of the naval militia stationed at Eureka, ‘With the change the annual ball was discontinued, but this year it was decided to revive the memories of days gone by, and the members of the division decided to_celebrate the 15th just for old time's sake. On the evening of that day Ar- mory Hall presented a most beautiful and interesting appearance. Early in the evening the hall was filled with people. The men of the division ap- peared in white uniforms, and for half an hour went through the approved drill of the naval militia. After a short inter- val at the conclusion of the drill a blank cartridge was fired from the one-pounder by Chief Petty Officer Caldwell and al- most_simultaneously the orchestra began to play and the engagement was on. About 100 couples appeared on the floor and dancing began. The Fifth Division is under the com- ably supported by Lieutenant Smith and Ensigns McLaughlin and Barnum. The fon is quite ready for service, having received from the Government E magazine rifles, the re- quired belts, pistols and other equip- ments, and_a rapid-fire one-pounder Hotchkiss. They are expecting at any time to receive from the Government new uniforms—the regulation blue of the div recently enty new Lee | eommander and officers has reached a high degree of efficiency; and since the Jate crisis both officers and seamen are taking an unusual interest in their work. —_————————— Si Perkins at the Oakland.
