The victim was Nig Rusich, who arrived ew Zealand Fri- morning, on_his way to Idaho. He was accosted at Kearny and Clay streets Friday evening by Fuhrman and Peters, who pretended they were strangers In the city. They started up an acquaintanceé and had several drinks together. The de- tectives were going along Market street and noticed the trio, and suspecting that something was wrong followed them. They placed them under arrest, but not without a struggle on the part of Fuhr- man and Peters, during which Peters threw a bottle on the street, smashing it. Fuhrman also attempted to throw away a bottle, but Dinan snatched it from him. Four bottles were found upon them which contained a mixture of chloral, aconite, fusel ofl and glycerine, the !nqredienu' that comprise “knock-out drops.”’ Rusich was so much under the influence of the drops that when taken to the City Prison he sank into a stupor and could not be aroused. Yesterday morning he was still feeling_the effects of them. Fuhrman and Peters were yesterday charged with vagrancy, and the police will see that they get the full limit, six months. . —_—— ‘Will Shoot at Clay Birds.

The fight was precipitated yesterday when Treasurer Truman refused to pay an order for stenographers’ fees unless it was first audited by Mr. Wells. there is in prospect orders of courts, writs of mandate and political jugglery without end. Heretofore it has been the practice of each Judge of the Superior and Police courts to glve to thelr stenographers an order of court directing the Treasurer to pay the per diem and transcript fees sup- posed to be properly due. These orders }wem presented direct to the T surer | and were paid by that officlal. This or- der of things is to be changed, and be- e of the change the stenographers nave declared war on the Auditor. A few days ago Auditor Wells held conference with Treasurer Truman as a result the Treasurer agreed to refuse to pay any demands made by stenograph- ers unless such demands were properly | indorsed by the Auditor. a majority of the demands herétofore made by stenographers by order of court contained no further specifications tk that of * in court.

Fifth and Seventh Regiments Are Al- most Ready to Be Mustered In. The Encampments. Ever since Governor Gage, who ap- polnted General John H. Dickinson to the position of major general of the National Guard of California, withdrew that gen- tleman’s name from the Senate, to which body it had been sent for confirmation, military people have been wondering what position if any he holds. Among those interested was General R. L. Peeler of the adjutant general's office at Sacra- mento, who in order to be informed as to the legal status of the case wrote to the State Attorney, Tirey L. Ford, for an opinfon. The substance of his letter Is set forth in the reply of Mr. Ford, who says: In your communication of the 5th inst. you say: ““Major General J. H. Dickinson was ap- pointed and commissioned major general com- manding of the division, N. G. C., on Feb- ruery 12, 1895, by Governor James H.

C., commanding, and to be recognized officially as such by this department? No successor to him has been appointed.”* In your subsequent communication of the 6th inst. you say: “In connection with the letter of yester- in re the present standing of the major day neral, N. C , I wish you would include vour answer thereto the term of the brigade gener- als appointed under and by virtue of said section 1918, Political Code. The term is usually accepted as meaning four vears (if_confirmed by the Senate) from date of commission. Is this correct, or do they hold at the pleasure of the Governor?' Referring to your question ax set forth in your letter of April 5, namely: *‘Is John H. on now the major general, N.,G. C. ding and to be recognized officially as such by this department?” permit me to say that upon the factsaas set forth in your communication and in view of the provis- fons of sectlons 1815, 1000 and §79 of the Po- litical Code, and following the rule lald down in the case of People vs. Tyrrell, 87 Cal. 475, 1 am of the opinion that General Dickinson was the lawful major general un- til the adjournment of the Legislature on the the 1Sth day of March, 1809, and that he will continue to hold sald office until the appointment and qualification of his suc- cessor in the manner prescribed by law. Referring to vour question set forth in of April 6, permit me a matter of courtesy d be first presented to vernor. ery truly yours, REY L. FORD, Tilorney General. of the National s reorganization Guard of the State of California has been The he m going on under the provisions of Chynoweth bill passed at the last se | of the Legislature for the purpose of de- fining the status of the officers and men who did not volunteer during the war with Spain, and that of those who did volunteer and have since been either mus- | tered out or are still in the service of Uncle Sam. There was a_tangle such as never was in the guard before and it is believed that the operation of the new law will adjust all | differences ¢nd make the guard what it was before the war, except as §o the First Infantry Regiment, which wlil not be reorganized until Colonel “Jim’ Smith and his men return from the Philippines. During the past week Lieutenant Colo- nel Whitton, Captain D. A.

Ali nies of this regiment have more men, the minimum number, read expected ¢ by next Saturday they will be ready to be sworn in. The men and officers of the Seventh Regiment of Infantry will be ready to be mustered in by the Ist of May. Notwithstanding the fact that no one has been named as major general since the commander in chief withdrew the name of John H. Dickinson, the general is still acting at division headquarters and week he issued general order No. 1, relative to the organization, and sent out the muster rolls. In this order the fol- lowing named are detailed to make the necessary examination and report to their ctive brigade commanders: Second Regiment, Major F. L. Atkinson and Cap- tain L. P. Tool-~* Fifth Regiment, Major James P. Dunn and Captain O. Hamlin; Sixth Regiment, Captain P. N. Russell {and Captain Charles Rodgers, and Sev- enth Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel J. J. Choate and Captain W. R. Roblee. Brigadier General W. M. Muller is ai- rected to proceed at once to organize a company at Woodland, Yolo County, to be known as Company F, to replace the one that was disbanded during the war. General order No. 4 from the office of the adjutant general gives all the recent legislation in regard to the Guard. One provision is that the commander in chief may annually order an encampment for discipline or drill, either by division, brig- ade, regiment, battauon or unattached company, and that all encampments shall be held at the State camp of instruction for the National Guard of California, un- less otherwise ordered by the commander in chief. This means that au encamp- ments shall be held at Santa Cruz. 8 The members of the Second Brigade Sig- nal Corps, located in this city, jointly with the Veteran Corps, celebrated the tenth anniversary of the organization of the corps by a banquet on the night of the 1st inst. An excellent supper was served, and in lieu of toasts there was an after- Ginner programme which was directed by George Daly of the Old Guard, the mas- ter of ceremonies. There were presented as features of the evning: “'Just a Few Remarks,” bv Colonel E. A. Denicke, the father of the Signal Corps; vocal selec- tions by the Veteran Quartet; remarks by Captain C.

Grabbing him from behind he threw him on to the side- walk, and then reached for Officer Fin- neley.
