minutes Of the last meeting were
read and approved.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
After annual dues were collected
from those present, the following
resolutions, introdu, ed by Captain
V. II. Wells, were adopted;
Whereas, The present national
militia law Is extremely defective,
and was prepared to meet condi-
tiOns that do not now obtain, and
whereas the necessity of 80 amend
ing the law that the enlisted and
trained militia of the several states
shall be recognized as national mill
tia subject to the call of the presl-
dent and congress, for duty as sep
arate organizations, distinct from
the general body OF the unrecog-
nized militia, and
Whereas. The present appropria
ton of $400, 900 per annum is made
quate for the proper arming and
equipping of the organized militia,
and should be increased to 81 900, 900
per annum; and
Whereas, The present method of
apportioning the appropriation,
based upon the population of the
various states, instead of the strength
of the force maintained by the
states, il inequitable and does in
justice to those states that recognize
their duty to the nation by main
tanning strong National Guard or
ganizatioDs; and
Whereas, The state of Oregon,
under the system of opposing the
national appropriation in accordance
with the strength of the force main.
tained, would receive much larger
sum than under the old system, be II

The Japanese Elections.

YOKOHAMA. Feb. 25.-The elections for
members of the Japanese diet are prac-
tically finished, but the exact result
is unknown. Government newspapers
claim majority of about
twenty, but this figure is reached by
counting all the independents as govern
ment supporters. The elections have
been distinguished by riots and
assaults, there having been twenty
persons killed and wounded at
various times during the campaign. 1t is
reported that Count Ito. president of the
privy council, has given in his resignation.
Intelligence received from the polling
places show that very small pro-
portion of those entitled to the
elective franchise exercised the privilege
of voting in the metropolis, fully
% per cent of the voters re-
framing from casting ballots, The
papers ascribe this chiefly to indif-
ference and fear of violence. General
charges of intimidation and bribery have
been made in some sections, and in one
precinct ballot box was surreptltiously
made away with.

Escorting Admiral RaIknan

Escorting Admiral Belknap.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4-Among the
passengers by the Oceanic today was
Rear Admiral George E. Belknap,
U. s. N, and Lieutenants L. L..
kemy and s. s. Wood. Rear Admiral
Harmony, who succeeded Rear Admiral
beiknap, started out on the United States
steamer Alliance to see Belknap off. The
Alliance went stem on to the breakwater
now being built at the en-
trance of Yokohama harbor and
stuck hard and fast. As the
Oceanic steamed away barge with forty
men from the British man-of-war Mercury
and three tugs were trying to pull the
Alliance off, but apparently not succeed
ing. One of the passengers said:
The Alliance was piled upon the breakwater
when we left, and the chances were that her
back would break when the tide went
out. She was under command of Captain
Felix McCurley, and Lieutenant Macintosh was
navigation officer. Rear-Admiral Harmony,
who had just assumed command of the station,
was on board with his staff and the
vessel was to accompany US to sea
and there give Rear-Admiral Belknap a
farewell salute. The man-of-war was
to pilot the way, and in order to keep ahead of
us, Lieutenant Mcintosh, suppose, took short
cut, and in few minutes the vessel was piled
up on the breakwater. The latter is partly
built, and was covered by about three feet of
water. The Alliance must have run up until
hall OF her was on the breakwater
When spoken to about the matter, Ad-
miral Belknap confined himself to the as
sertion that he thought the Alliance
would get off.

the cargo was discovered on fire, and
though the crew fought the flames four
days they were finally obliged to leave the
vessel, which was burned to the waters
edge. Nineteen men under Captain
Kuhleman were picked up by the Califor-
MIA and brought to this city, but up to the
time of the Tropic Birds arrival it was
supposed the other boats crew was lost.
After many hardships. however, they
landed at Tai-a-Tai, where they were
found by the Tropic Bird and taken to
Tahiti, whence they shipped on different
vessels, one of the crew, John Nelson,
