He met the Governor of this State yesterday for the first time, and upon Governor Pardee’s inviting him to join iIn the parade sald that as he was not a member of the G. A. R. he might be excused. Governor Pardee would not listen to anythifig of the kind and Informed his friend that if he declined to accept the in- vitation there would be danger of civil war between California and Nevada over the boundary line question. ———— Letter Returned After Many Years. SAN JOSE, Aug. 18.—On the 30th of Jan- uary, 1578, a letter was malled In the San Jose postoffice, addressed to a person in New York, in care of a sailors’ home.

Comrades to Name Him for Second in Command. ———— OLONEL C. MASON KINNE, a member of Lincoln Post No. 1 of San Francisco, who is ‘prominent in the administration of the af- fairs of the Department of Ca fornta, is to be the mext senlor vice com mander in chief of the Grand Army the Republic. The selection of this well known veteran was made yesterday. His name will go before the convention of delegates to-morrow and will be accept- ed without opposition. For years, with two exceptions, it has been a custom of the encampments to name for the posi- tion of senior vice commander in chief a delegate from the city in which the en- campment is held, this as a mack of ap- preciation of the courtesies extended to the veterans during their stay in the city. The only exceptions have been on two occasions when a strife was devel- oped, and a number of contests arose. Com. Since there is © fe this year, mander in Chief Stewart notified the lo- cal posts that it would be well to unita on a man for the position. Following his suggestion the representatives met yesterday and voted to accord Colonel C. Mason Kinne the honor. The giving to California of such a prominent place in the national director- ate of the organization is deeply appre- clated by the veterans of the State, and it is certainly appreciated by the distin- guished soldler upon whom the honor falls. Colonel Kinne has a brilllant war rec- ord. It began with the famous Califor- nia Hundred, which was eventually mus< tered into the Second Massachusetts Cavalry and designated as Company A. With that organization he participated in some of the flercest fighting of the war, beginning with a chase after Mosby and his men and ending at Appomattox Courthouse, where the last shot was fired and Lee surrendered to Grant. After the grand review at Washington, Colonel Kinne, who had already received promo- tion from first sergeant to the rank of captain and assistant adjutant ge: volunteers, returned to this city, he re-entered the National Guard, which he had resigned at the out the war. He has since held pe that organization ranging rom and judge advocate of the Second ade to Heutemant colonel apd adjutant general on the division staff. He has occupied offices in the Califor- nia G. A. R, and was department - mander for two years. He is a member of the Military Ordér of the Loyal I glon, of which he has been treasurer f a number of years. Candidates for other positions w the next commander in chief of the A. R, General John C. Black, are ing mentioned very frequently, r variong Statss are walting 18 solection of the chief before making known their favorites for subordinate places. Two candidates are sald to be seeking the nomination of chaplain in chief of army, one being Winfleld Scott, who Is the candidate of the Department of Ari- zona, and the other is Chaplain Bross of the Department of Nebraska. The first mentioned 1s said to have the strongest backing. At the national headquarters yesterday General Stewart and his assistants wers kept busy the greater part of the day issuing credentials to the delegates of the convention and arranging for tha opening of the annual session to-morrow. During the forenoon General Miles paid a friendly call on the commander in chief and remained with him for about ten minutes. Later several of General Black's friends called at headquarters and after departing one of them remarked that there was no further doubt that General Miles would be foremost among those who will support the nomination of Blaclk as successor to General Stewart. —_————— PLANT HEIRS CHARGE EXECUTORS WITH WASTH Custodians of $20,000,000 Estats File Their Answer in the Probate Court. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 18.—The ex« ecutors of the will of the late Henry Bradley Plant to-day filed in the Probata Court their answer to the application of Charles T. Hoadley and Horace G. Hoad« ley of Waterbury for the removal of the executors. The Hoadleys, who are malie ing a legal fight for recognition as cole lateral heirs of the Plant estate, which is said to amount to about 320,000,000, al« lege that the executors were wasting the estate and that the probatng of the will was wrongfully removed from the diction of the Connecticut courts to New York. In their reply, the executors, who are Morton F. Plant and Margaret J. Pl son and widow of the late million: and_George E. Pilley declare that plidants have no pecuniary the will, and that the application Is brought in good faith. They, mov the petition be dismissed.
