in carriage, led the line. and following
him came nearly every prominent man
in the city. After passing through the
principal streets, the procession headed
for the armory, where reception was
held. After the reception the players
were escorted to the Hotel Rennert,
where a banquet wound up the feRtivi-
ties.
During the baseball procession q seri-
GUS accident occurred. Six hOrseB. et-
tached to heavy bus in which q num-
ber OF people were riding, became fright

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-Next Monday
the military court of inquiry will re.
convene to review the testimony and
place the responsibility for the blunders
st Sacramento on July 4th. A member
OF the court OF inquiry says that the
testimony taken is particularly dam
aging to the officers. He said:
"Our investigation developed the fact
that there can be no military reason
why the troops did not take possession

room in the depot. the troops
were left standing in the aun
at q temperature of 1O2. This
treatment would discourage any troops.
Had the command been turned over to
United States Marshal Baldwin on the
arrival OF the troops the result would
have been different. The court of in
quiry intends to find out why the COM
msnd was not given to Baldwin. We
have made searching inquiry, which
will be q great benefit to the N.
G. c., and we will locate
the blame without whitewashing. 1t
has been demonstrated to us that the
National guard of California is today the
most defective organization in the United
States. The troops were called out par
TALLY equipped with rifles 80 yeGrs old,
and without ammunition. The mon had
no blankets and no oyercoats. The re-
sponsibility lies in the staff. Many
of tha officers have not the
faintest conception of military training.
They have acquired their positions on q
staff through political pull and not on
their merits. The ultimate re-
nult will be reorganization of
the N. G. O. with the elimination
of the political and incompetent OIL
GERS. No one has been shielded by the
court OF inquiry. Governor Markham
will insist upon a court.nartial for those
responsible for the Sacramento blunders
and this will affect officers high in

London Pspers.
LONDON, Dot. 3.-All the afternoon
summons OF cabinet council. 1t is
generally accepted ss being connected
with some serious difficulty with France
The Liberal organ, the Westminster
Gazsite. handles the subject tendsrly,
evidently anxious not to excite public
opinion and thereby embarrees the
government. On the other hand the
Conservative mouth piscse discuss the
matter more fearlessly and warn France
against enoroaching upon British rights.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The
crises which necessitates the converting
OF the cabinet council must be very sud
den, as the ministers were dispersed on
their holidays. 1t is quite possible,
however, that propositions have been
made to settle the various differences"
Tho Pail Mall Gazstte refers to an
article printed today in the Politique
Coloniale, Paris, which reflects the
views of Minister of Colonies Delicaess
and which gives, exclusive of the ques-
tions of Egypt and Madagascar, a list of
eleven outstanding difficulties between
France and England connected with
frontier and eimilar disputes in the
African colonies. The Politique de
Coloniale, however, Gays many OF these
have practically been settled and none
of them would justify a rupture unless
one country was bent on picking quar-
rel with the other, which, the paper
adds, is not the case.
The Pail Mall Gazette. in spite of this,
says the article in the Politious Colo
male is unfriendly to the verge OF die
courtesy, and ''if it reflects the spirit in
which the French ministers intend to
discuss the difficulties with England, we
may prepare for trouble some time. We
do not wiah to quarrel with France. but,
on the other hand. We are indisposed to
permit trespassiug upon onr 1noues-
tione6 rights. The bullying spirit which
tells Frenchmen they have only to brsg
and bluff enough to force Eagland to
surrender, may easily lead to that be-
lief"
The Pail Mali Gazette then continues /:
'The Daily Chronicle says war between
France and England must be regarded
az inconceivable madness. 1t may be
madness, but it is not inconceivable.
France must be told courteously, but

to attack or provoke her, but, if et-
tackled. we shall defend ourselves to the

The Globe also expresses the belief
that the hurried calling of the cabinet
council ia due to the disputes with
France, adding: I'VE belevs there ia
no ground for public alarm or suspicion,
but we cannot surrender any part Of
England's rights or ahirk any part Of
her duties. Our strained relations
with France are not matter of day "a
