Governor Budd came down from Stockton yesterday ai had a con- ference with General Barrett regarding the formation of the new regiment.

OAKLAND, June 19.—The Astor Light Artillery arrived to-night, six days out from New York city, with all and eager to sail for Manila. Peyton C. March, late of the Fifth Artillery, is captain. Captain March is a warm personal friend of Mr. Astor, and it was at his solicitation March was put in command. Second Lieuten- ant Koehler and Second Lieutenant Willlams, late of the Sixth Artillery, are first and second lieutenants re- spectivel Among the non-commis- sioned officers are Sergeant Crimmins, of the Fifth Artillery, U. S. A.; Sergeant Burton Holmes, who has seen actiy service in the British army in lia and Africa; Sergeant Young, a member of the famous Young family of well lat falt Lake city and identified with the | Mormon settlement of Utah; Sergeant Sillman, of late a commander of a bat- talion stationed at Detroit, Mich. All commissioned and non-commis- ioned officers are mounted. Among the vocations and professions represented are eight lawyers, several ors, the late superintendent of the Presbyterian Hospital, New York city, a United States marshal from Texas, a barber from the West and over half a dozen boys whose fathers rank high on the list of United States million- afres. Private Dan Prybis Is worth $1,000,000 in his own name. Mr. Astor has been most generous in giving orders for the personal equip- ment of the men. Kach man received two uniforms, one the blue cloth of light weight of the regular ar- tillery, & brown campaign hat, brown canvas leggins and gauntlats. The other uniform is brown canvas stuff, known as Kakl cloth, trimmed in scar- let, pockets and shoulder straps in- cluded. The outfit further includes three suits of under clothing, three blue woolen shirts, six pairs of socks, three pairs of canvas leggins, two pairs of tramping shoes, six handker- chiefs and & pajr of buckskin gauntlet gloves, The men enter for three years’ pervice and recelve $15 60 a month, ton will be | aff will in all probability be | none but National | aced three | wuch as a cam- | rumor has it that the day the battery moved each man received $100 in gold. The field equipment includes twenty horses and one hundred mules and six Hotchkiss rapid-firing guns. The guns are known as three-inch mountain guns, throwing a twelve-pound shell. These guns are a very powerful little weapon, especially designed for moun- tain service. The horses anc mules, which were purchased at St. Louis and were at- tached to the train, were cut off and left when word came that General Mer- ritt would not transport them. In case they are allowed to take them they will be hurried on West. s Y SUNDAY AT THE CAMP. Attorney General and Mrs. Fitzgerald Dined by Brig- adier General Otis. Yesterday was beyond doubt one of the most disagreeable days that the soldiers at Camp Merritt have been subjected to.

Washington Volunteers Want a Fair Show, Even if a New Colonel Is Necessary. The Washington Volunteers have been at a loss to know why they have been overlooked in the assignment of troops for Manfla, and are consfderably worked up over an alleged explanation given in a Seattle dispatch, which states that no | opportunity will be given them to do bat- tle with the Spaniards. The dispatch states that “Colonel Wholley's elevation from a second lieutenancy in a colored company to the command of the Wash- ington troops has so embittered the men who formerly served with him at Van- couver In the Fourteenth Infantry that they have leagued themselves against the Washington volunteers and have sufficient influence to prevent them from going to B hilippines. Eolonel Wholiey was appointed from the regulars by Governor Rogers. Some of the Washington officers at Fontana bar- | racks are much agitated over the situa- tion and think it unfair to punish a whole regiment on account of Colonel Wholley. ““Let them call Wholley off and giye us a chance under some one else,” said a prominent officer last evening. “‘We had nothing to do with Wholley’s appoint- ment.” R TS S WITH MILITARY HONORS. Private Frazer of South Dakota Buried in the Cemetery at the Presidio. Samuel Frazer, a private of Company L, First South Dakota, died early yesterday morning from spinal meningitis. The body was burled yesterday afternoon in the plot at the Presidio with military honors. The band of the Fifty-first Iowa headed the funeral cortege, and the entire South Dakota regiment turned out to do honor to their dead comrade. — Christian Endeavor Work The Mothers' Christian Endeavor Club, whose object it is to assist and co-operate with the young people, will hold a meet- ing at the Christian Endsavor headquar- ters at Camp Merritt next Wednesday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock.

Fish Warden “Joe” Mogan has been on the watch for consignments of striped bass weighing less than three pounds, so he overhauled Petrick’s shipment. The twenty-six boxes contained five thousand two hun- @ dred pounds of young striped bass, not one of which weighed a pound.

Towa's crack band serenaded Brigadier General McArthur at his headquarters on Saturday night. They were given a royal reception by their popular brigade com- mander. The South Dakota camp is always a busy one. When the troops are not doing their daily six hours at drill they are oc- cupied at’something else that keeps them |{ out of mischief.

The Expert Rifleman Makes an Ex« ceptional Score at Schuetzen Park. A. Btrecker of the California Schuetzen Club stands crowned to-day as not only the king of that club’s monthly bullseye cash prize shoot, but in a friendly contest with E. W. McLaughlin he was the victor by 18 points, though laboring under a han- dicap of 20 points. Andrew, Charles Ander- son’s youngster, proved too powerful a mascot for the forces of shootwide to con- quer. In this shoot only one bullseye was counted, and the one making the smallest score proved the happiest rifleman. A large number shot, the principal scores being as follow: . A.

Didn’t Threaten to Kill Her Husband and Never Had a Quarrel With Him. “Did I threaten to kill my husband? No, never!” 8o said Mrs, 8. H. Seymour last evening in her apartments at the Baldwin Hotel when asked if she had any statement to make in regard to the published an- nouncement that Mr. Seymour had de- cided to institute divorce proceedings. “I was very much surprised upon read- ing the article in The Call,” said she. However, she did not seem very much dis- turbed over the publication, and had evi- dently recovered from the 'effects of the shock, “I have been holding a levee all day,” she continued, “answering the ques- tions of sympathizing callers. There is no truth in the publication. I don't believe Seymour ever said what he is credited with saying in that Los Angeles dispatch. He will be here Monday evening, and then T'll find out. I got a letter from him on the I5th. We never had a quarrel sines we were married nineteen years ago. have no grounds for divorce and I know he hasn't. People have been trying to separate us for years. About four years ago they had us separated in a weekly paper. We are still together, and there is no more truth in the present story than there was in the other one. It may be possible that this rumor started from a divorce case brought by another man of the same name as that of my husband. It may be a case mistaken identity.” SIS Sy SCIENTISTS ARE IGNORED. Professor Winston Sets Aside the Theories of the Masters. Professor Willlam Windsor lectured at Metropolitan Temple last night on “The Sun.” He had a good audience, and his address was {llustrated copiously with photo-opticon views. The professor is quite dogmatic in his views. He set forth that all scientists are wrong in their theories of the sun’s heat. “It is not caused by gases or by heat on the sun,” said the lecturer, ‘‘but by elec- tricity, which generates no heat until it strikes the atmosphere of the planets, Beyond our atmosphere there is neither heat nor light, which shows that my theory is true. Let me tell you, also, that all the scientists are wrong regarding the cause of meteors and the danger from comets. There never was a comet that has struck this earth and there will never be such a thing happen, for the reason that the magnetism of the earth will re- pel all such gers.” In a like way the professor differed from the views of all astronomers, mental phil- osophers and physicist in the realm of chemistry, physics and general science.
