PRESIDE PROMOTIONS.
Change of Station Not In
volved by the Advance
ment.
for Three of the Ten.
Inch Disappearing
Guns.

There is money now available for work
on the harbor defenses of San Francisco,
but very little activity is shown at pres
ent. Word comes from the East that an
other twelve-inch breech-loading rife has
been finished. 1t will soon be tested and
sent across the continent by rail.
Some progress has been made recently
toward the completion of the ten-inch dis
appearing batteries on the bluff near Fort
Point. The equipment for three of the
guns is on the ground.
Experiments at the twelve-inch rifles
near Fort Point have shown that the plat
form space for loading is not sufficient,
hence an extension is being made.
The managers of the powder company
at Santa Cruz are still experimenting,
with the confident belief that powder fully
up to the requirements of the department
will soon be produced. The authorities at
Washington are exceedingly anxious that
a powder plant ON the Pacific shall attain
the success desired.
A board for the examination of gunners
will be convened at the Presidio in Sep
TENDER. Excellent progress has been made
during the past year in artillery practice,
hence the annual examination is awaited
with more than ordinary attention.
Captain Henry J. Reilly now commands
Light Battery F, Fifth Artillery. The as
signment under the rule is for period of
four years. He came over from Alcatraz
last Thursday, and is now on duty at the
Presidio. Captain Morris has gone to
Alcatraz to command Battery K.
Captain Reilly is veteran officer in the
artillery service. He served on the gun
boat Benton at Vicksburg in 1853 ard
participated in all the notable engage
ments IN the Mississippi River in which
Admiral Porter's fleet was engaged. The
Benton had a remarkable history as q
fighter.
Lieutenant Charles E. Treat, 'EBa artery e.
Fifth Artillery, has been detailed as adj
jutant of the Light Artillery Battalion at
Fort Riley, Kans. Major Randolph, the
commander, was authorized to select a
capable officer, and he designated Lieu
tenant Treat. While the assignment is
not promotion, it is high compliment
to Mr.. Treats special ability as an officer
of artillery.
There were two promotions at the Pre-
sidio this week, and. fortunately for the
officers promoted change OF station is not
involved. First Lieutenant Oliver E..
Wood, Battery @, Fifth Artillery, is pro-
NOTED to captain, and Second Lieutenant
William G. Ham is promoted to be first
lieutenant.
First Lieutenant P. G. March will leave
for two years course at the Fort Monroe
Artillery School.
Captain Frank Thorp, Light Battery d,
has been on the sick list for several days.

tor-general of the army, recently inspected

DON'T WORK ON SUNDAY
Rev. DE-: Birch Calls Upon the Trades
Unions to Protest
Against 1T.

The Rev. DR.. Birch preached at the
First Christian Church, Twelfth street, on
the s'Sinner's Friend" He said every one
needed supernatural friend. At election
times the workingman had many APP
parentiy fervent sympathizers, but when
their need of him had passed their friend
ship departed like dog from a picked
bone and their 'dear friend, the working
man," might go anywhere for all they
cared. In the time of failure, poverty or
glaring sin into which he might fall where
could either the rich or the poor man or
woman find a friend to hold their hand,
saying II am touched with your sorrow
or grieve over your sin as God is touched
and grieved for mel? Were the churches
preaching creed rather than manifesting
Christ?
II the latter, then, as q human object
lesson of God, there would not be 800 or
400 broken-hearted suicides in this City
every year. No honest widow need keep
in her house on Sunday because her gar.
ments were not sufficiently decent for
Goods house."
It was painful to see workingmen toll
ing in the dirt of a building on Sunday,
and he appealed to the trades unions to
stand up against il. He advocated that
the building and iron trades should cease
weekly work on Saturday at noon, since
this was done in many, if not all, the big
towns of England and Scotland.
