A CHANGE OF UNIFoRM.-The mill
tary board of Virginia has decided to
order that the uniform of the Virginia
volunteers be changed and that the SER
vice or fatigue } uniforms now in use
in the United States army be adopted
in their stead. The Virginia button,
however, will be retained. This uni,
form consists of a dark blue blouse and
lighter blue trousers, blue cap, with
the insignia of the army thereon. The
main motive for this action is one of
economy, AS these uniforms can be drawn
direct from the government so far as
the limited fund will allow. The order
which the Governor will issue relative
to this change of uniform will provide
for the adoption of distinctive full-dress
uniforms by regiments or battalions, sub
iect to the approval of the commander
in-chief. The uniform Of the Governors
staff has been ordered changed also, to
conform to the uniforms of the troops.
The gray dress coats will be abandoned
and the staff will appear hereafter in
full dress uniforms identically similar
to those worn by the officers of similar
rank in the United States army.

SAN FRANCISCO, SACRAMENTO AND

All OF the wholesale Trade North of Ts-
=. hzchapi to Be Directed TO San
Fran cisco Los Angeles Gets
the Southern Part.

San Francisco Examiner: The prac-
tical effect of the Southern Pacific COM
pany's new freight rates aroused uni
yersal interest in commercial circles
yesterday. The beneficial results to be
reaped by San Francisco were discussed
by members OF the board OF trade. by
members OF the Wholesale Grocers' as
socistion and by all others who have
made study OF the material condition
of the city and state.
At the corner of Fourth and Townsend
streets an army of clerks are working
day and night making up rate sheets to
show the rates between the various inn
portant points in the state.
The policy of the Southern Prcifc
Railroad company as disclosed by the
tariff sheet issued ia apparently based
ON the proposition that San Francisco is
entitled to the business of the San J oa
quin valley and all the country north OF
Tehachapi, that the Sacramento valley
wholesale trade ought to go to Sacra-
mento, and all south OF Tehachapi
should look to Los Angeles as its dis
tributine center. This is made mani
lest by the figures on the staple grocery
aftlcl6b emu n6tdUSu III buo ptoiHihnAy
announcement OF the rates.
As merchants will buy from the point
at which they can secure the lowest
rates OF transportation for their goods,
difference OF few cents per hundred
pounds will determine the market from
which the supplies for each section shall
ne drawn.
So far as the San Joaquin valley is
concerned the difference in rates from
San Francisco and Sacramento to
Fresno is considerably in favor of San
Francisco, notably in the case oil coffee,
where the differentisl amounts to 4
cents on each 100 pounds. In regard to
some other staples the differential 10
still greater.
FAvoRs FOR SACRAMENTO.
The differentials in favor OF Sacra-
mento are still more marked whore Sac
ramento valley points are involved, as
the following comparisons will illus
