He arrived at. 8 o’clock this morning over the Pennsylvania line from Chicago. Although the exact time of his arrival was not known, ‘he was greeted by a throng that tendered him an ovation befitting the home-coming of one ‘of the greatest heroes of the war. The lad ‘was almost an hour working his ‘way from the Union depot to his parents’ home at 76 Pike street. only a few blocks distant.. The re- ception under the parental roof was simple, but earnest. It was the heppiest moment-of their lives for Patrick McDermott and his wife. The news of “Boots’” arrival spread rapidly and in a few minutes the MéDermott house was crowded almost to suffocation by people anxiops.to get a glimpse of the lad. The doors had to be locked to prevent a further jam, for nearly every boy in the ward was there. “Boots” was loud in his praise of the people of San Fran- cigco, especially The Call. The citizens of New Brighton, the head- quarters of Company B, will give “Boots” a public reception. He says he will not sell papers any more, but wants to engage in business. o 0000000000000 00000000000000000000 GILLETT LVING IN CHIHUAHUA Cattle Plunger Located in Mexico. oOCCOOCO0000000000000 0000000000000 0000000 special to the State Journal from Lima says: The severest storm in years has prevailed here to-day, doing many thousands of dollars’ damage to tele- graph, telephone and electric lizht companies.

He remained only a short time in Durango, when he bought a return ticket to Chihuahua. Two prominent business men of this city came up from Durango on the same train with him, and said that he bought a first-class ticket and rode in a second-class coach as far as Ror- reon, where he took the Pullman.

He was well dressed, and wore several beautiful diamonds. At Jiminez he was met by his attor ney, C. R. Troxel, and the two entered into low conversation and remained to- gether until they reached Chihuahua. They arrived here last Monday and went to the leading hotel, where they registered. The man was undoubtedly Gillett, as his signature corresponded with his signature to a document held in this city. Troxel left on Tuesday on the stage | for the West, presumably to the min- ing camps in the Sierra Madre. Gil- lett is still in the city, but his where- abouts are unknown except to the de- tectives, who are closely shadowing his every movement. The report that Gillett had been ar- rested and held in custody here is un- true. The Jefe Politico says the Mex- jcan authorities have not seen him, and | know nothing of his whereabouts.

This is one of the best places in the Government service and pays a salary of $5000 per annum. Mr. | Loud's candidate is Dr. McGraw of San Jose, while Senator Perkins and Repre- senlatlv@s Barham and Hilborn, as well as the California State Central Commi: tee, some months ago, indorsed “Bill Hamilton. y The Call correspondent understands, however, that the President's disposition at this time is to retain Colonel Frolsh in office, and he has intimated as much to | the frlends of other candidates. Colonel | Irish’s services in behalf of the gold men | in the last Presidential campaign are a; - | preciated by the administration.

The speculation in the Cuban and Philippine debts on the bourse has . seriously displeased the Cabinet.
