The Americans were in a big majority, however, and the only question was as to which city in_Cali- fornia should be selected. The next Grand Lodge will meet on the fourth Tuesday of next January. The opening of the ballots for the vari- ous officers placed the Grand Lodge in a delicate position with regard to the in stallation of M. H. Dunn, the recently de. posed State gardener, who was declared elected to the office of grand vice presi- dent of the order. Dunn saved the Grand ge any difficulty in this connection by forwarding his resignation, which was accepted. W. H. Fuller of San Francisco was elected to fiil the vacancy so created.

Attack on the Camp. Lieutenant Coionel McGloin tried to sur- prise and capture the camp this morning, ut was foiled by the alertness of Captain F. J. Grimley, cfficer of the guard; Lieu- tenant Coligan and Drill Instructor An- dy J. Gaughran. The attack, repulse and capture of the attacking forces formed a clever piece of military strategy. For fif- teen minutes the camp and the rolling plain in front were the scenes of exciting incidents. The plan to attack the camp originated with Colonel McGloin. He had o~ avo AT 2 THE WATER.WAGON o CADETS DO VAUDEVILLE STUNTS BEFORE A DELIGHTED AUDIENCE Camp Power’s Garrison Scores a Hit in an Entertainment Given House for the Benefit of St. John’s|Cripple Creek Delegates 7}25 LANL TRog, Gy Hegoms. 7 O Tmer _Sors /rm_p/,/.,,,ma =S — < - taken the regiment out, and after in- structing it in battalion formations di- vided it into two baifalions. He then sent scouts out on both Tlanks of the camp to discover the best mode of attack. Gaugh- ran was in his tent and happened to spy the scouts. He immediately surmised that an attack was imminent. He ordered the buglers to blow the assembly, and this was followed quickly by the call “To arms.” The guards were drawn in within a few minutes. All the convalescents were ordered to repulse the attack. Gaughran assumed command of the squad of sev- enty men. After formation he deployed a line of skirmishers, divided in two sec- tions, consisting of two platoons in each section. One section was sent to the west of the camp, in command of Captain Grimley, ard the other moved out on_ the plain to meet the enemy. McGloin had ordered one battalion to enter from the northeast portion of the camp, so that the cadets would be shielded by the trees and hospi- tal tents. The other battalion, command- ed by himself, crept in from the south- east and was shielded from view by a big winery. A deep ravine in the center of the plain and the tall grass made the spot an ideal one for carrying out the at- teck and defense. Gaughran brought his men through the tall grass and concealed them close to the ravine. The cadets lay in ambush and awalted the coming of the enemy. McGloin rushed his men across the fleld and down the ravine and as they dashed up the slope they were met and repulsed. There was a terrific_clashing of_sabers and hand to hand scuffiing. Sergeant Daye Torres deserved a medal for bravery. He captured the colors car- ried by the enemy. Within a few minutes McGloin and his entire battalion were prisoners. The second battalion, commanded by Captain Kennedy of Oakland, rushed through the camp and attempted to take the colors, but were defeated and made prisoners. The fighting around the flag- staff was highly exciting. Blood was shed in the excitement and the hospital corps, under command of Major Mor- risey, had three_litters on hand to carry off the wounded. The defenders of the camp formed a solid bulwark at the base of the tall Eole and with sabers uplifted prevented the attacking forces chopping away the halyards. The band was in camp practicing at this time and hurriedly took up a position near the pole and rallied the defenders with patriotic music. When victory was as- sured it played “The Star Sgangled Ban- ner” and the victors cheered incessantly. A number of the cadets suffered slight scratches in the melee. The maneuver was extremely exciting and was enjoyed by all who watched its outcome. Colonel MecGloin__ reluctantly surrendered his sword. He afterward said he was beaten by overwhelming numbers.

PR A1 CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., July 17.— Festivities connected with the Trans- Mississippi Commercial Congress began to-day with a flower parade at 10 o’'clock. A large number of carriages, handsomely decorated, were in line. At the morning session of the congress ex-Secretary Noble expressed himself as opposed to a department of mines in the Government on the ground that the laws re%ulming mining are made by the States and not by the General Government. He favoréd a bureau of mines to test and dis- | seminate information regarding mines and treatment of ores. A department of commerce, whose head should be a mem- ber of the President’s Cabinet, he declared to be a necessit. The address of Robert Graham of Crip- ple Creek was in favor of a department of mining whose head shall be a member of the President’s Cabinet. Colonel Ed_F. Browne of Aspen, Colo., made an address on the same lines. He gave many statistics to show the impor- tance of the mining Industry, and de- clared that it had been misrepresented in Government reports; that more than 10 per cent of the exports of the coun- try last year were the unmanufactured products of mining. Sidney Story of New Orleans made an interesting address on the question of building the Nicaraguan canal.

July 17.—A week has elapsed since a resolution introduced by Governor Gage was passed by the Capitol Commissfoners, removing State Gardener Dunn from office and requiring that the facts of his case be laid before Attorney General Ford for such legal action as he might deem proper. The resolution bore every evidence of having been carefully framed, with the idea of political effect uppermost. It expressly “passed up” the responsibility of Dunn’s presence in of- fice to former Governors Markham and Budd, and represented that he was kept in office during the Gage regime only upon the earnest solicitation of the two ex- Governors and others high in the councils of state. In fact, Governor Gage was exhibited before a sympathetic constit- uency as one whose confidence had been grossly betrayed and when the typewrit- ten_and_carbon-copied resolution closed with a direction that the Attorney Gen- eral be given the facts of the State Gardener's misdeeds, it seemed that be- fore Dunn loomed ghe penitentiary and I Dispatch to The Call. 1 | behind him stalked the turnkey.

Heuer, United Statas engineer in charge of the improve- ment of rivers and harbors in California, has sent his annual report to Washington. It contains the annual recommendations that are the basis of work when the Com- mittee on Rivers and Harbors takes up the question of improvements for the wat- erways of this State. It will be found that the recommendations do not include any for large new improvements. From this it should not be inferred that Colonel Heuer is not advocating many things that are earnestly desired and were strongly recommended by Congressmen and others when the Committee on Rivers and IHar- bors was here recently. In fact, all”the work that he has specifically mentioned in earlier reports, upon which action has not been taken, is still under consideration with Colonel Heuer's favorable reeom- mendations. x “Until a recommendation is disposed of " said_Colonel Heuer yesterday, “it is still Congressmen can_turn back to the files. As a matter of fact there are several large and important matters that have been brought to the attention of Congress which ‘may be possibly taken up at the next session. Among these arel the improvement of the channel to Mare Island to enable the passage of large war vessels to the navy yard to be rePahed or for other purposes: the deepening of the water above the Suisun flat, the flat being five or six miles long; the construc- tion of a canal around the city of Stock- ton; the Oakland harbor improvements, including the tidal canal, etc. These are just as much before Congress as if they were included in the last report. The estimates have been made and the works have been described in connection with earlier reports. “A recommendation has been made for an appropriation for the snagging of the Upper. Sacramento River, the amount asked being $25,000. There is a large ton- nage that moves on the river above the city of Sacramento, something like half a miilion tons per annum. The failure of the river and harbor bill in the last Con- Tess has left snagging to be done by the tate or not dome at all. A contract has been recently entered into by the State for keeping navigation of the upper river open by the removal of snags. When there is high water it is possible to go to one side of a_snag, but not so when the water Is low. Our aim is to keep the water seven feet deep at low water to Sacra- mento, four feet deep to Colusa and three ese are the present depths and they enable barges to move freight above Sacramento.” The pain of parting is experienced by | | in | commissioners. de- | jdea of Gage holding his predecessors re- | and he fled on Saturday night and is by The following are the officers | some believed to be in British Columbia.

C. Remick, a well-known meat merchant of Sacra- mento, that Governor Gage either knew all about Dunn's dishonesty when he took office or had ample opportunity to find it out. Remick was a deputy in the office of State Treasurer Rackliffe up to the latter's death.

The facts have been communicated to the Foreign Office at Rome and the Italian Embassy here has made representations to the State Department. At the same time the Ital- lan authorities are pursuing an investi- gation of their own through their Con- sul at New Orleans and their Consular Agent at Vicksburg, Miss., which is not far from the scene of the alleged trouble. Thus far the reports received from these officials establish the essential points in what is considered a rather serious condi- tion of affairs. First, it is reported posi- tively that the Italians were killed by lynching. Second, the Italian authorities nearest the scene of the trouble have established to their satisfaction that the persons killed are Italian subjects in the full sense, not having taken out natural- ization papers. There is every indication that the facts will constitute an interna- tioral incident similar to that with Italy growing out of the killing of Italians in Louisiana. The first report of the trouble at Erwin came in a brief press dispatch four or five days ago. The Italian Consular of- ficers at New Orleans and Vicksburg have since made telegraphic reports, and the Itallan Charge d’ Affaires, Carignani, took prompt action in advising his Government and in laying the matter before the State Department. The department has rem- dered every assistance possible. although this again has disclosed the difficulties of Federal action in a matter occurring within the jurisdiction of a State. The Governor of Mississippi, it is reported, will proceed In person to Erwin to investi- gate the matter. Best Routes to the Yosemite Valley Are via the Southern Pacific.
