' The Rev. Father Slattery, pastor of the church, welcomed the regiment on behalf of the Catholics of the city. He sald the Mayor would welcome the organization at the public reception to-morrow even- ing. He took occasion to give the young men advice as to their conduct while in | Napa. He appealed to them not to vio- late their pledges and not to disgrace the regiment by conduct unbecoming soldiers of the cross. The camp was open to visitors during the day and hundreds of friends and resi- dents passed through the streets of the camp. Company L’s crack baseball team played an exhibition game with an ag- grogation of Napa ball players. The cadets won the day by a score of 15 to 10. The teams lined up as follows: Company L. Positions. Watson; P The cadets spent the rest of the day roaming through the country. Many visit- ed the Napa Insane Asylum, while others went on drives to nearby towns and places of interest. In the evening the band of the regiment gave a secred con- cert in the courthouse square. The park | was crowded with people and the music rendered was greatly ‘enjoyed. To-mor- row evening there will be a dance in the avilion which adjoins the camp grounds. he Mayor of the city will welcome the regiment and formally turn over the town to_the visitors. There are a number of secret socleties in the camp, and they have peculiar names. J. Fitzsimmons, F.

Dr. Morrisey will be met at the depot by the hospital corps. There are very few boys sick. Some have suffered bruises, but trivial scratches do not prevent them from eating well and k'ee :ng their neighbors awake during the night. 'he “Buligines” of Company D are F. Sullivan, George Winters, ‘‘Bob” McDer- mott and “Billy” Dillon. They eat well, sleep well and have no desire to do guard duty., Dr. Meagher has been asked to prescribe a few nights in the guardhouse for the quartet. Leo L.

Leo Glennon, the dimunitive mascot of Company B, is be- loved by the regiment. He travels all over with Company B and is up with the lark and asleep before taps.

Stein himself escaped in his shirt sleeves, with one other man only. The so-called ‘Orange River Government' and papers | were captured.'” Lord Kitchener also reports that' Scheeper’s commando (as announced in | press dispatches early last week) burned { the public buildings in Murraysburg, Cape Colony, and some farm houses in the | vieinity. According to further advices from Lord Kitchener, the column under Feather- stone and Colonel Dixon has reached Zeer- ust, Western Transvaal. It met with op- position and made some captures. The British casualties were one officer killed and three officers and twenty-four men wounded. “General Broadwood.” says a dispatch | to the Daily News from Bloomfontein, “surprised Reitz due east of Lindley at! dawn Thursday, July 1.

Chicago and the Pacific Coast are abbut to be merged into a single property. The principles employed in industrial com- bines are being used to bring about the unification. Stock in the new corporation will be issued to the individual theater proprietors in amounts proportional to the valuation placed on the respective thea- | ters. The largest interests involved in | the coalition are those of the Kohl and | Castle theaters of Chicago and of thea- | | ters of the Orpheum circuit of the West. | The only vaudeville manager in a city | east of Chicago to be a party to the ar- | rangement is M. C. Anderson of Cincin- | nati, controlling Hueck’s Opera-house and | the ‘Walnut-street Theater in that city. The twelve theaters which will tecome the property of the combine are: | Chicago—The Chicagn Opera-house, the | Olympic Theater, the Haymarket Theater, Hopkins’ Theater and, indirectly, the Ma- sonic Temple Roof Theater. Cincinnati—Hueck's Opera-house the Walnut-street Theater. San Francisco—The Orpheum Theater, Maurice Meverfeld, proprietor and owner | of the Orpheum Theater Company. Los Angeles—The Orpheum Theater, owned by the Orpheum Company. New Orleans—The Crescent Theater. Kansas City—The Orpheum Thea | Omaha—The Creighton-Orpheum ter. Denial of a vigorous sort was given to- night to a question asking if the union was one either of offense or defense against the East. “The stock company,” sald Manager J. | J. Murdock of the Masonic Temple Roof | Theater, acting spokesman, “will be formed on business lines alone. It is not meant as an-instrument for fighting any one. The question simpiy is to join a number of enterprises into a single con- cern. The present managers will remain undoubtedly, but they will remain as di- rectors of the larger corporation instead of owners of the separate theaters. “The coalition of the Western theaters will mean a saving of much money in operating expenses. _Salaries, however, will not be cut, and I think the combine will be to the Interests of the performers. It will give them a_continuous engage- ment of a number of weeks.” DISSENSIONS INVOLVE RECLAMATION DISTRICT Contingent of Yolo County Land- Owners Objects to Paying an Assessment. WOODLAND, July 14.—The land owners of Reclamation District No. 108 met here yesterday. Of the 72,000 acres comprising the district more than 60,000 acres were represented. Recently an assessment was levied, to which many of the small land owners are bitterly opposed. The big land owners, such as E. B. Pond, the Falr es- tate and others, generally favor the as- sessment. A committee consisting of E. B. Pond, L. R. Poundstone, W. R. Mumma, C. 8. Neal and James Baldson was appointed, with instructions to make a report as to the past, the present and the probable future of the district and to suggest plans for future reclamation to a meeting of the land owners which will be held in this city on the 3d of August. The district comprises some of the most fertile land in the State, but a great deal of it is subject to overflow, and no sue- cessful plan of reclamation has yet been devised. There is a great divergence of | views among the land owners. The small holders defiantly announce themselves as opposed to all reclamation schemes that have been or are likely to be proposed, and announce their intention to fight the Bosessment to the bitter end. Most of them claim that their land is high and dry and that they are included in the dis- trict for assessment purposes. The litiga- tion is likcly to be expensive and long drawn out.

Torrents of lava and hot mud flowed on towns and there were showers of ashes and stones. Seven hundred na- ;(;e; and about a dozen Europeans per- shed. Amid a tremendous downpour of stones the Eurgpean manager of one of the large estates fled from the stream of Java in a carriage, into which he had placed his wife, two children and a nurse. It was a race for life with every advantage in favor of the lava stream, which came roll- ing down_the hilisides in ever-increasing volume. In thirty minutes the lava over- took the carriage. The nurse and chil- dren perished and the parents saved themselves by jumping into a clump of bamboo trees. The superintendent of this estate and twenty-five coolies perished. Several score of great coffee estates were de- R e i i S PICKPOCKETS IN JAPAN ROB SAN. FRANCISCANS Money and Tickets Taken From Tourists Are Recovered by the Tokio Police. TACOMA, July 14—Mr. and Mrs. J. McNald of San Francisco, who are traveling in Japan, have learned that pickpockets are almost as numerous in that country as in America. Several weeks ago while traveling between Yoko- hama and Haneda they were robbed by pickpockets of several small articles, in- cluding a handbag belonging to Mrs. Mc- Nald. In this were six checks for $300, two steamship tickets between Hongkong and London and Japanese money. The matter was reported at two police sta- tions and the metropolitan police of Tokio at once detalled detectives to investigate. Twelve days later two pickpockets were arrested and all of the valuables were Special Dispatch to The Call. stroyed. For fifty miles around the vol- cano the country was strewn with corpses. e ACCUSE CLERES OF ROBBERY. Fourteen Persons__A.rrestad for Al- leged Bank Breaking. TACOMA, July 14—Fourteen arrests have been made at Singapore in connec- tion with the recent robbery of the Hong- kong and Shanghai Bank of notes amounting to nearly $300,000. A small por- tion of the money was recovered. The prisoners are bank clerks and money changers and include two women. The robbery was effected by means of a dupli- cate key to the bank’s strong vault, the key having been stolen from the Char- tered Bank of India, which used the same vault. The principal thief escaped to Madras with $250,000. Statistics show that 21,000 foreign tour- ists visited Japan last year, spending about 20,000,000 yen. The tourist business is now regarded as an important source of revenue, and efforts are being made to recovered. They were returned to Mr. McNald at Yokohama. Los Angeles Elks Victorious. SPOKANE, July 14—One thousand peo- ple saw the Los Angeles Elks’ baseball team defeat a nine made up of members of the local lodge this afternoon. The score was 4 to 3. A large proportion of the local Lodge of Elks, which has 550 members, were in attendance and rooted indiscriminately for the home team and the visitors. The line-up follows: Position. Los Angeles. Shortstop ..Hart Luhr and Rosenhaupt..... Right field Drzher. Pitcher .. more thoroughly advertise Japan in Amer- ica_and Europe. Many protests are being made because the Russian authorities at Port Arthur are opening all letters to and from the Amgrican and European residents there. Nothing is permitted to be sent out that contains any allusion to Russian military affairs or criticism of Russian methods. Yokohama papers publish a story to tne effect that an American subject two months ago posted a letter to relatives in the United States at the Imperial Rus- sian postoffice at Port Arthur. The letier was opened and its contents were found to include details regarding a number of troops at Port Arthur and the naming of the forts. The American was arrested and imprisoned for three weeks. being finally released on orders from St. Petersburs. Newspapers of all kinds are absolutely barred if any copy is found to contaia a criticism of Russia or Russian methods. The harbor at Port Arthur is watched every night with searchlights and ths strictest vigilance is paid to visits of foreign men-of-war. occasional MANAGER IS SELECTED FOR MANILA EXCHANGE John Taylor, Formerly of This City, ‘Will Conduct the New Stock Institutiou.
