CALIFORNIA MILITIA.
Court of Inquiry Deals With Failure Of
Troops During the Strike.

Court of Inquiry Deals With Failure Of
Troops During the Strike.
SACRAMENTO, October 26.-Although
unusual reticence is displayed by every
body about the Adiutant- Generals Of
fee, twas learned from a pretty reliable
source that the report of the court Of
inquiry investigating the militia deals
with officers all the way down the line,
and particularly as to who was at fault
in the failure of the troops to capture
the railroad depot July 4. Concerning
this affair the court deals severely with
Ma ior- General Dimond and Brigadier-
Generals Dickinson and Sheehan. OF
the three officers General Sheehan is
most severely handled, but Generals
Dickinson and Dimond need not fear
that they are entirely escaping, for they
come in for good share of attention.
In other words, the report does not blame
any one man for the depot farce. The
court has seen fit to compliment only
one officer, but it is impossible to learn
which one, although the surmise is that
it is Colonel Sullivan of the First In
fantry. The report also deals with the
much-needed Improvements in the Ma
tional Guard. It recommends the I'M
mediate reorganization of the State
forces, dispensing with severa. over
balanced brigades, and also suggests that
other steps be taken toward advancing
the interests of the military forces.

THE NAVAL EQUIPMENT.
A Great Increase In the Coal Bills OF
the Navy.

A Great Increase In the Coal Bills OF
the Navy.
WASHINGTON, October 23.-According
to Commodore Chadwick, chief of the
bureau of naval equipment, the coal bills
of the navy are steadily increasing, ow-
ing to the greater consumption OF coal
by modern war vessels. The annual re-
port of the bureau shows there will be
deficiency of $50, 900 in the appropria-
ton for equipment, owing to the fact
that $191 POI more was expended Tor coal
in the past year than in the year previ-
GUS. There were purchased at home AZ, :.
100 tons of coal, costing SITS, l63, OF
which 9,505 tons were purchased on the
Pacific Coast at an average cost OF $7.O2
per ton and 81, 635 tons on the Atlantic
Coast at cost of 1884 per ton. There
was spent abroad for coal 1852, 1872 at an
average cost of 1886. The report shows
that during the year great improve
ment has been made in night signals. A
new boat compass has been adopted, ana
aluminium has been successfully substi-
tuted for bronze in pinnacle fittings.
Under the head of the naval observatory
attention is called to the fact that, un-
less the corps of professors of mathe-
mates is recognized, the observatory
will in the near future have but one as
tronomer available for duty, the others
retiring in the course of few years.

Account of the Outrages on q French
Officers Family.
SAN Francisco, October 24.-Chinese
papers received by the Peking bring
news that there is likelihood of COM
plications between France and the Chi
nese government because of the outrages
on the Tonquin border by Chinese land
pirates. The details of the latest attacks
by these marauders, of which meager
accounts have been printed, are also re-
ceived. M. Chaillet was French Com
missioner of Customs at the town of
Moncay on the Tonquin border. He re-
sided there with his wife and daughter.
Some months ago band of Chinese
marauders entered the town at night,
attacked M. Chaillet's house, carried off
his wife and daughter, and on M. Chail-
let's pursuing them, shot him down,
after which they left town with their
two captives. Madame Chaillet has
been allowed to communicate with Co
lionel Dumont, commandant at Moncay,
and she and the little girl are well
treated. The pirates demand ransom
of $2O,0 1t is proposed to levy on the
Chinese merchants of Tonquin for this
ransom, but the feeling is general that
the Peking officials must be appealed to.
A customs employe named Carrere has
been for many months in the hands OF
bandits,

RETURN OF GERONIMO.
Strong Protest Comes From New
Mexico Cattleman.

SAN Francisco, October 25.-Dean
Duke, superintendent of the Deer Creek
cattle and horse ranch, which takes in
parts of New Mexico and Chihuahua, is
in the city. He says the recent move Of
the authorities to return Chief Geronimo
and band to San Carlos reservation has
filed the people of the frontier with
alarm. They expect that what has hap
pened before will happen again-that is,
marauding, killing and robbing. Sew
eral crimes have, in fact, occurred recent
ly. Duke added:
"The people are not bit pleased
about it. They have no doubt that Ger
onimo will take to the saddle again.
There are about sixty warriors with him,
and these, with the chief, women and
children, are all to be thrust back on the
country whence they came. For long
time the Apaches that were left at San
Carlos have been going on marauding
expeditions. Last week they stole
twenty-five horses from the Deer Greek
ranch, and started to run them into the
wild regions of Mexico. A lot of the
cowboys went after them, and after
few days succeeded in capturing all but
four. Had they not been very skilled in
the ways of the Indians they would never
have got single animal. The Indians
who did it were the Chiracahua Apaches.
But this is not the worst. Friday Phil
Hotter of the San Simon Cattle Com
pany was killed while on the way to
Deer Greek ranch to attend roundup.
If, on top of this and the abandonment
of such forts as Bowie, Geronimo and his
band are to be brought from Fort Sill,
there will be rough time ahead. In
stead of Withdrawing any troops they all
should be kept at their posts"

He Is Minister and Not versed In the
Ways of Cities.
New YORK, October 25.-The follow
ing is published in this mornings World:
The Rev. James Sotlee, full-blooded
Indian, who ministers to his race in
Manitoba, started from his Northern
home week ago to visit Archdeacon
Kirkley of Rye, N. Y, whom he met
when the Archdeacon was missionary
in Canada. Mr.. Sotlee is "a years old.
On the way to Chicago he met stranger,
who relieved him of his cash and left
him penniless and friendless in that
wicked city. The Indian preacher ran
across the Rev. Mr.. Rawson, whom he
had met before, and was supplied with
money enough to reach this city. When
he arrived here Saturday evening, he did
not know the way to the Grand Central
depot. He asked policeman, and was
directed to the station-house, where, he
says, he was promptly locked up until
morning. The next day man accom-
panied the guileless preacher to the de-
pot, bought him ticket and gave him
80 cents, taking his watch as security.
The man promised to return the watch
to the Rye rectory, but has not done so

She Was Given Ten Years for Poisonin g
Her Sixth Husband.
SPOKANE, October A.-Helen -Grier,
the old woman convicted of poisoning
her sixth husband, was taken before
Judge Moore to-day for sentence. When
asked if she had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced, she
said:
Gas sure as there is God in heaven,
did not poison my husband. did not
have fair trial. The jury was preju-
diced against me; my two daughters
swore falsely; this is the fifth time they
have tried to take my life. It would be
an outrage to punish an old woman for
a crime she is not guilty of"
As she spoke tears trickled down her
furrowed cheeks. The court sentenced
her to ten years in the penitentiary. On
her way back to Jail she met her daugh-
ter, Florence Shirley, and shrieked at
her:
"You hussy; you vile dirty wretch.
You and your sister both perJured your
souls. Go, confess, to the Judge and set
your old mother free.
Mrs. Shirley said not word, the dep
uty urged his prisoner on, and the heavy
iron doors again closed behind the
wretched woman.

Manager Mcneil Figuring on Trans
pacific Route.
PORTLAND, October 26.-It is probable
that some time this winter or early in
the spring a steamer line will be inaug-
urated between Portland and China and
Japan. Mr.. Mcneil since his appoint
ment as receiver OF the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company has seen the
advantages that his road would have in
possessing such a line, and he has been
earnestly working to bring the mat
ter to a satisfactory conclusion. As yet,
however, the line can be said to be only
under consideration. None of the de-
tails have been arranged, and it is not
even known to a certainty that the line
will be established. This matter came
up on Mr. NcNeill's former visit here,
and was suggested by the large output of
flour from this section and the ready
market Tor the product on the Asiatic
side Since the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company's alliance W h the
Great Northern the project has been
presented in different light. An East
EN- outlet is thus afforded for Asiatic
freight, and there is also the assurance
that tie connecting road will further the
scheme to the fullest extent in its power !;
something the Union Pacific did not do
lor the Upton line of steamers. The
treat Northern would have an advan-
t2ge IN connecting with Portland line
Of steamers, as there are already two
Ines established on the Sound to divide

MUST PAY JUST DEBTS.
The Spokane Case Reversed by the
Court of Appeals.

The Spokane Case Reversed by the
Court of Appeals.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 25.-Four de-
cisions were rendered by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day.
In the case of G. F. Weber ct al,
plaintiffs in error, VS.. the Spokane Ma
tional Bank and Hiram L. Chase, re-
ceiver, the judgment was reversed, and
the cause was remanded for a new trial.
The plaintiffs in error brought suit
against the bank to recover on three
promissory notes given in payment for
furniture supplied to the company. The
receiver pleaded that at the time of pur-
chase indebtedness had accrued against
the bank in excess of its paid-up capital
and it was therefore prohibited from in
curing further liabilities. The jury rem
dered a verdict in favor of the defend
ants under instructions of the court.
The evidence showed that at the time
the furniture was purchased the liabili-
ties of the bank amounted to $516, 900,
while its paid-up capital was only $780,
600. It was held by the Court of APP
peals:
"That an indebtedness which ma
tional bank incurs in the exercise of any
of it's authorized powers, and for which
it has received and retains the consider
alton, is not void from the fact that the
amount of the debt surpasses the limit
prescribed by the statute, or which is
even incurred in violation of positive
prohibition of law in that regard"
Judgment was also affirmed in the
case of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, appellant, against the City OF
Spokane, appellee. The action was to
enjoin the city from extending certain
street across the right of way of the
company. The court below held that
the street had been dedicated to and for
public use as thoroughfare, and dis
missed the bill.
