q. A. R. TROUBLES
Lyon Post Hembers Threatened With Court
7artial

OAKLAND, April 27.-The troubles in
the G. A. r. camp are by no means
settled. The feeling against the alleged
ring by Lyon post is more bitter since
the action of the Santa Cruz encamp-
ment than 1t was before, and it is pos
sible that the post will surrender it's
charter.
There is some talk even of court
martialing the veteran commander of
Lyon post, Capt. George A. Norton, for
the part he has taken in the trouble,
and this talk Is simply setting the Lyon
members wild.
One of them said today: 1.-The ring
might as well go to the limit. 1t ought
now to court-martial all our members
and recall the posts charter 1t has
done all it could to destroy the spirit
Of good citizenship and comradeship
that existed in the order this side of the
bay, and thus made itself more solid in
its schemes to rule or ruin.
Il want to call your attention to the
point that the tail wags the dog. At
the department encampment there are
five veterans selected as members of the
council of administration to act with the
elective officers. OF these five ap-
pointees four were selected from San
Francisco, leaving only one member to
represent the state at large. OF the four
San FranciscanS two are taken from
Thomas post and one from Garfield
post. Thus three members out of five
are taken from the two posts which
Lyon post, in its charges, says usurped
nearly everything"

MAGNIFICENT SCHEME
Engineer ed Ia the Interest Of the Hy-
drauIic Miners
Electric and Water Power and Irrigation
Right to Be Secured at the Expense
of the Government

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-The
Chronicle says: An able bodied Job"
has been discovered in the appropria-
tion for the construction of a restraining
barrier in the Sacramento and Feather
rivers
If it succeeds it will result in the gov
ernment building a dam at Daguerre
point in the interest Of private parties,
while the hydraulic miners will be COM
pletely ignored Rather than this
should happen, says telegram from
the State Miners association to Tirey
L. Ford, it's agent at Washington, "the
hydraulic miners would prefer that no
appropriation at all should be made at
this session"
In another dispatch the association
repudiates Assemblyman "Dick" Tho
mas. who has been at Washington for
several months. and who is credited with
working the project through in the in
terest of himself and coterie of promi-
nent capitalists and politicians.
The scheme is said to be a magnifi-
cent one. Thus far it has been very
cleverly worked. 1t comprehends the
acquisition of electric and water power
and irrigation rights at the expense of
the state and federal governments. the
value of which it is difficult to estimate.
The figure is placed at 81 900, 900 by John
NJ. Wright, who has been investigating
the subject for the executive committee
Ol TIE CdlllOTIllst Miners aSSOC1aL1On..
The job has been under way ever
since the act appropriating $250,O00 out
OF the state treasury for the building of
restraining dams, providing the United
States government would set aside a
like amount for like purpose. The
opportunity was then offered and at the
legislative session of 1896 the first step
was taken.
Section 1416 Of the Civil Code, relat-
ing to water rights, was amended so as
to provide that If the erection of
dam has been recommended by the CAL
ifornia debris commission at or near the
place where it is intended to divert the
water the claimant shall have sixty days
after the completion of such dam in
which to commence the excavation or
construction of the works in which he
intends to divert the water"
The object of this addition to the law
was to enable those interested In the
scheme to postpone work until after the
government had built the dam and then
to take advantage Of its presence.

NEW YORK, April 81. = The second
days convention of the Theosophical So
ciety of America met in the assembly
room at Madison Square garden this
morning, DR.. Buck presiding. c. F.
Wright, the chairman Of the committee
on revision and bylaws, submitted
the report Of the committee. In relation
to the occult successor to the late Mr..
Judge. the newly elected president, Ern-
est T. Hargrove, said it was mistake
to suppose his election as president car
ried with 1t occult leadership. MIR. Judge
was the occult leader and president of
the external theosophical organization.
The occult body has no official connec-
tion with the theosophical society. He
said that after Mr.. Judges death, papers
were found naming the person who
should succeed him as occult leader but
that the name must be kept secret for
year.
Chairman Buck announced that 1t was
the intention of Mahatmas. through the
theosophical society, to revive the an
cient mysteries. For that purpose col
lege for occult leading was to be built in
this country. The meeting adjourned
sine die at noon.
