The day’s operations were in excess of 1,200,- 000 shares. Secretary Shaw's visit to the street and his talks with the leading banking inter- ests helped in no small measure to Te- store confidence.

It was’the first time in the history of the reservation that an active leutenant general had inspected the officers and men comprising the garrison of the post and it was indeed a pgala event. The review was witnessed by several thou- sand townspeople, the smart folk of the Four Hundred, who, by their presence, lent an air of social gayety to the proceedings. cial act of Congress, passed in 1500, was made lieutenant general of the United States army, was the hero of the day. The veteran of many a hard-fought bat- tle, an Indian fighter, who achieved fame and distinction in the days of Custer and Sitting Bull, a dignified, stately, grim- visaged warrior, who has passed through the turmoil and strife of many bloody campaigns, sat—dignified and erect—the personification of all that one expects of a commanding general, reviewing the men in uniform as they swung by in imposing manner. Flanked by General Hughes, command- er of the Department cof California, and his staff, Colonel Maus and officers and Colonel Rawles, commandant of the Fresidio, General Miles sat on a hand- some black charger, doffing his hat to the colors and saluting the various regimental officers as they passed by in parade. The review itself occupied less than sixty minutes. “I am, indeed, much pleased with my observations to-day,” said the general in talking with a Call reporter, ““The troops are in fine condition. They are a good, strong, active body of men and their maneuvers to-day show them to be in excellent fighting trim."” CHEERS FROM THRONG. Although programmed for 9:30 it was nearly an hour later before the review- ing party, headed by General Miles in fa- tigue uniform, black, close-fitting breaches and high-top boots, followed by General Hughes and Colonel Maus and their staffs, all mounted, came through the south gate of the grounds and swung into the links. THe grounds back of the hollow square formed by the troops were alive with people, some mounted and not a few in smart equipages, while others—the fami- les of army officers—lounged in hospital ambulances and quartermasters’ wagons. A hearty cheer arose from the assem- blage as it caught a view of the general and delivered a warrant for $50,000 to the ment for the Sequola SBempervirens State Park.

In polite appreciation of the honor the general un- covered time and again as he passed as door knobs, stair rods and railings, including many of | General Nelson A. Miles, who, by spe- | ajong the line toward the reviewing sta- tion. The reviewing party first rode complete- 1y around the assembled troops, now in front, now in the rear, each regimental band playing a patriotic air as the party passed by. The civilian spectators kept up a continuous hand-clapping as the officers passed over the fleld. The troops were arranged in simple formation, with the light artillery batteries at rest at the head of the parade grounds and the infantry on their right, massed in sharp lines that would later permit of their - quick formation into review- ing columns. Nearly all of the artillery- men were in full uniform and the waving, bright red plumes which floated grace- fully from their helmets could be seen from a great distance through the In- dian summer day. The “thin blue line,” outlined by the snow white gloves, the shining brass helmets and the bright red stripes, loomed brilliant in the hot morn- ing sun. COAST ARTILLERY PASSES. ‘When the reviewing party took its place just below the brow of the little hill, with the lleutenant general astride his coal black horse well toward the front, General Hughes and Colonel Maus and their respective staffs massed in the rear, the word was given for the parade to start. With the sound of the bugle, which echoed clearly from the distant hills in the morping air, the troops formed in marching column and the par- ade began. First came the Coast Artillery band and fleld music of about fifty pieces, dressed in bright-colored uniforms, their hat plumes nodding and the drum major strutting proudly. Passing, the band countermarched, and massed in front of the reviewing station, where it remained antil the succeeding band came a few moments later to take its place. Follow- ing the first band came the Coast Artil- lery, a most imposing body of men, drilled to the hour and full of dash ¢ad action. Next came the Thirteenth United States Infantry from across the bay, a most erect and smart-looking body of nqhters, whose ranks were cut to pleces in'the bloody battle of S8an Juan Hill; the Seventh Infantry, well disciplined and at- tractive; a detachment of men from the Hospital Corps, commanded by Lieuten- ant Greenleaf, and finally the four bat- L e MAY BUILD ELECTRIC ROAD INTO BIG BASIN| . Projectors of the San Jose-Saratoga Line Plan a Scenic Ex- tension. SAN JOSE, Sept. 30.—Now that the State has closed the purchase of the Big Basin forest, the building of a road from this city into the park is being urged by citizens. A short time ago the Board of Supervisors of this county passed a reso- lution instructing the County Surveyor to run a survey into the Big Basin by way of Saratoga. From San Jose into the heart of the Big Basin is a distance of twenty-five miles. About fifteen miles of this road is already built, Besides the wagon road, there is a pos- sibllity of an_ electric road being built into the basin within the next year. The syndicate that has § obtained a fran- chise for an electric road to Saratoga from this city is said to have such a'plan in mind. The road to Saratoga will be completed by next March. This is a dis- tance of eleven miles and from there into the Big Basin will be but fourteen miles. An electric road into the forest from this city would not be over | twenty-five miles in length, but about would be required for the trip. the money is already in H §ad teries of fleld artillery, under command of the veteran, Colonel G. 5. Grimes, who also saw active service during the cam- paign before Santiago. “BLACK HORSE” BRIGADE. By far the most imposing spectacle of the exhibition was the performance of the fleld artillery. Four baffalions, at the tail of the procession, phssed before the reviewing party, each guncarriage and ammunition box drawn by six horses, their drivers and off-riders sitting erect and stately, attracting no special atten- tlon—but when the first of the battalions | countermarched and passed again in re- view at a jog-trot the spectators began to wipe their eyes in anticipation of some- thing more gnore thrilling. And it came, too! The next battalion, known as the Black Horse Brigade, was busy wheeling and forming in reviewing column, away off at the south end of the parade grounds when suddenly a bugle sounded and away the horses dashed full speed, lashed by their riders, and the batteries rolled out of the dust past the reviewing stand, while pulses throbbed and even the lleutenant general was forced to show his enthusiasm by turning to his alds and displaying a smile of pieasure. This was the finale. The general afid his party, still thrilled by the. feats of daring and horsemanship of the Grimes battery, rode slowly to the clubhouse, where an informal luncheon and reception were tendered. Everybody expressed the utmost pleasure with the developments of. the day. Colonel Rawles was especial- ly pleased, as was General Hughes. “It was a grand success,” sald ‘Colonel Rawles. “T wish we could have had more room to parade, but the troops did ex- ceptionally well. I am proud of them. I would like to see a larger parade ground and hope it will be possible later to have this. My idea 1s to fill in the sea from Harbor View to Fort Secott.

The Porte’s alarm is partially attribut- ed to the maneuvers and other incidents of tho Shipka Pass fetes, the political importance of which, however, is consid- ered to have been greatly exaggerated, in view of the aproach of the winter, ‘when the movements will necessarily be stopped. It is not thought that the threats of the Macedonian committee will foment a general revolution or develop into anything very serious. —————— Rail Rates Reduced Via Santa Fe.

Secretary of War Among the Visitors at the Camp. FORT RILEY, Kans., Sept. 30.—Deeper quiet even than prevails upon a Sunday existed throughout the day at Camp Root. The only events were the arrival at the camp of Governor Stanley of Kansas and later in the afternoon Assistant Secretary of War Sanger and Brigadier General Carter. At daybreak this morning the ground was in such a condition after the storm of last night that it would have been im- possible to carry out the day’'s pro- gramme with much probability of success. General Bates determined last night to call off the programme for to-day and conditions this morning proved the wis- | dom of his course. General Bates Issued orders in the morning for all commands to hold them- selves in readiness for a review by the Assistant Secretary of War if he should accept it. General Sanger, however, de- cided that the troops would hava suffi- cient work without marching out on re- views and declined the ho:or offered him. General Sanger and General Carter were met at the train by an escort of cavalry and after being received by Colonel Carr. the commander of the military post of Fort Riley, rode out to Camp Root, where General Bates received him with the cus- tomary honors. A short reception was held, all the leading officers at the camp calling to pay their respects to General Sanger and General Carter. The officers of the National Guard were also present. The invitation of General Bates to inspect the camp was then accepted, and after listening to a short concert by the band of the Eighteenth Infantry General Bates and the Assistant Secretary of War head- ed a long line of horsemen which started on the ride through the camp. They rode over the entire ground and both General Sanger and General Carter expressed themselves as greatly pleased with what they saw. An hour previous to the arrival of the distinguished army officers Governor Stanley of Kansas and party, among whom were a number of ladies, called at General Bates' headquqarters. The Gov- ernor spent several hours at the camp of the Kansas-National Guard. To-morrow the war problem originally scheduled for to-day will be carried out. The State Medical Society of Kansas Is now in session at Junction City and to- morrow its members in a body will visit the camp, where the workings of the army medical system will be fully ex- plained. Mysterious Shooting Affray. OXNARD, Sept. 30.—A Mexican named Rodriguez is now lying in the County Hospital with a bullet wound in his right side. Rodriguez was walking up East Sixth street last night, when a man ran across the street near him. At the same time another man on the opposite side drew a revolver and fired, the bullet hit- ting Rodriguez. The officers failed to find any clew to the identity of the shoot- irg. Rodriguez is of the opinion that the bullet wa3 intended for the man whom he saw running in his direction. Rodrigues will recover. IRRIGATIONISTS GAIN PRAISES Encouraging Reports for Colorado Springs Corngress. Expenditure of Eight Million Dollars to Be Con- sidered. R T COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 30.— The committees in charge of the arrange- ments for the tenta National Irrigation Congress, which convenes here October 6, have recelved encouraging reports which promise a large attendance of noted men from all parts of the country. Large delegations from the commercial clubs of Omaha and St. Paul will come in private cars. New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska cities will also send large delegations. The subjects to be handled, affecting, as they do, the proper expenditure of $8,000,- 600 of public money now avajlable, and the proceeds from future land sales for the reciamation of millions of artd acres and the making of homes for millions of people now crowded In the citles have at- tracted the highest minds of the natiom, from eaptains of industry to the leaders of the labor organizations. Letters of indorsement of the possibilities of the congress are pouring in every day from these people. One notable communica- tion was received to-day from John W. Ela, the prominent lawyer and civil ser- vice apostle of Chicago. In part it was as follows: “No project of equal importance has been launched in fifty years. The action of Congress has transformed our dream of two years ago into a concrete system. The vital thing is that those who shall be engaged in its execution shall realize that the schemse is now »t its prac- tical stage, and shall so manage the work and apply the funds as to justify the Gov- ernment in assuming the responsibility at our request. We were once an agricul- tural country, but for several years now the farmers have ceased to be one-hailf of the population, It is an axiom in poltical economy that a country is at its best stage when agriculture is the dominant industry. Anarchy starves in an agricul- tural country. So do most of the evils which threaten the perpetuity or peace of & community. With 50,000,000 new farm- ers, on farms that will be not only as fertile as anywhere In the world, but whose fertility will be practically perpet- ual, the agricultural character of this country will be fixed for—well, say, an- other century.” Child’s Burns Prove Fatal. PALO ALTO, Sept. %.—Little Grace Cotter, the three-year-old daughter of James Cotter, a mason’s assistant on the Stanford University building, was fafaliy burned at the Cotter home, 631 High street, this morning. The mother of the girl wls seriously burned in attempting to save her child. Little Grace died this afternoon, after lingering through several long hours of intense suffering. The girl was playing with matches in the back yard, when her clothing caught fire and she was soon enveloped In flames. Mrs. Cotter rushed from the house, picked her up and carried her to a nearby hydrant, where she drenched her with water. Mrs. Cotter, herself, was frightfully burned, but from latest reports her recovery is assured. Physicians who were called to attend the child found their efforts of no avail.
