An Order Issued for the Annual In
spection in April.
Adjutant- General Allen issued a gen
erai order yesterday announcing that the
annual inspection and muster of all or
CARNATIONS comprising the National
Guard of California, will be held during
the month of April. The tone of the
order indicates that the General proposes
to have thorough inspection made and
an exact report submitted to him. He
says:
inspections will be made only by off
GERS OF the general staff, and by such
only as are competent and prepared to
thoroughly ascertain the actual condition
OF organizations as to their drill, disci-
pline, and efficiency; the arms, uniforms,
equipments and other State property in
their possession; their finances and re-
cords, and the quarters occupied by them,
as also to make such suggestions and
recommendations as may appear neces-
sary to remedy deficiencies in the above
particulars, and when it may appear to
the satisfaction of the Major General COM
| manding division that such officers are
| not available within the limits of any
brigade, he may make details from other
localities.
BLANK inspection books have been
prepared by this office, one for each COM
pany, and will be furnished on reousi-
ton of brigade commanders. All the in
formation called for therein will be care
fully ascertained and noted by inspectors
| and the muster rolls compared with and
verified from the same before being certi-
| fed. These books will be signed by in
spectors and transmitted to brigade head
quarters, where they viii be retained for
reference. Brigade inspectors will COM
pile from them careful general report of
all information noted or ascertained,
and after incorporating with it such rec
| concentrations and suggestions as appear
proper TO them. forward the same with
muster rolls.
A rigid Inspection will be made of all
State property claimed or appearing to be
unserviSeable, and particular report
made OF same, in order that it may be
turned into the State.
THE Major-General commanding di-
vision and the commanding officers of

ton of this order and its strict execution.

During the consideration of the general
road bill yesterday in the Senate many of
| the members were in an unusually hi
larlouS mood, and voted down an i'm
| portant amendment offered by Senator
| Eraser. When they found what they had
done, permission was asked to have the
| question reopened. President Reddick
refused, however, and said that if Sem
ators preferred to monkey" with a bill,
rather than attend to their duty, they
| must bear the consequences. Senator
Carpenter moved that further considera-
| ton of the matter be postponed until this
| morning, when the Senate might be in a
condition to consider it seriously. 1t was
SO ordered.

pointed Mrs. Shanahan select commit
tee of one to name the baby, and when
the name was announced Frank
Coombs Shanahan''-a perfect thunder of
applause sounded which would have
frightened the child to death if it had not
been foreordained and predestinated

serenely from the Speakers desk and
captured its multitudinous adaptive

is in preparation. The Assemblyman

At $50 o'clock Sunday morning
fire was discovered in the roof of the

promptly on the grounds and doing
their utmost to extinguish the flames,
but on account Of the scarcity of water
could not save the depot building,
and turned their attention to the ware
rooms and other buildings c'ose to tbs
depot, which were saved.
The fire was thought to have origi-
mated from the sparks Of . freight
engine which passed a short time be.
fore the alarm was given. The entire
depot, with its wareroom, was con.
sumed, with part Of the platform.
There was no freight or other valua.
bles lost. Everything was taken
from the building, with the exception
of the cafe.
During the progress of the flames
much anxiety was given for the large
grain warehouses owned by the
Windsor Storage Company and Liv-
ingston L. Sons, but fortunately these
escaped without damage. The fire
compsny exhausted water in all the
cisterns adjacent, but the flames hav-
ing caught between the roof and the
ceiling, it was impossible to reach it
in an effective manner, with the mea-
ger quantity consumed.
The railroad company sustained
quite a loss in the building. 1t was

CONDITIONS IN MISSOURI


Columbia, No., August 1.-THE
August crop report of the Missouri
state board of agriculture saws: "rhe
rainfall 10 July was very unevenly
distributed, adjoining counties, and
even localities of the same counties,
showing different conditions. The
sunshine was little above the normal
for the month, but the temperature
five degrees below. Counties of the
southeast are needing rain, the corn
already beginning to fire from the
drouth. Owing TO excess Of rain in
the Spring the ground readily bakes
and little drouth will materially
affect all crops.
While for the state as a whole the
weather HIS been too cool for corn, the
northeast section has an excellent
prospect for all things grown. Corn
on the uplands and where we'll cult
waited in other sections of the state has
made wonderful growth and prom
ises a good crop. Many fields Of low
fiat land can not mature even should
the most favorable conditions pre-
vail.
Early oats were secured in good
condition, but the late sown we're af-
fected with the rust, and in many
counties could not be harvested on
account Of excess Of rain. The south
east section had good oats, but the
area was small.
Buckwheat promises we'll. Tobacco
has declined during the month, but is
in a very fair condition. Irish pota.
toes are prime. Sweet potatoes,
grown for little other than the local
market, in condition do not equal
that of the staple vegetable. Timothy
was of such abundant Yield and fine
quality in most sections of the state
that the counties in which it was
damaged while being harvested did
not materially decrease the average
for the state. Clover was damaged
by too tank growth and becoming
over ripe. Where sown with timo
thy it stood better and is of better
quality. Pastures are excellent.
Cotton is in good condition. Sorg.
hum declined during the month, but
it is considerably better than last year
at this time.
Apples continue to drop, but the
fruit marketed will probably be su-
perior in quality to that of last season.
Peaches, heavy yield and fair quality.
Grapes are abundant, but affected by
rot.
The limited returns from thresher-
men indicate a yield of fifteen bushels
Of wheat to the acre, but of not 60 |
Fine quality as that of last year.
