ton will base bis judgment on his own
observations as to the performance of
military duty by officers of the guard.
Four years ago, when a similar request
was made, Captain Barry, the inspector,
consulted with regimental commanders
as to tie efficiency and qualifications of
the officers in the various regiments of
State troops.
Captain Darlington will not follow this
precedent. He has been on duty as in
spector of the guard for very nearly two
years, and has therefore had opportunity
TO judge for himself as to the merits and
dement's of the commissioned officers of
the guard.
While the demand for this supplemental
report does not signify the War Depart
ment apprehends an lmmediste call for
service in the field of more officers than
the regular army can supply, it does indi-
cate that preparations are making for an
emergency. Should the emergency arise
the officers who are listed as competent to
command troops will receive first consid-

requisite number of men to entitle it to be
recognized by Colonel Fairbanks and
draw the necessary 500 per month from
the State for armory rent. But all is not
plain sailing yet. Lieutenant Simpson. in

Chipman resigned in September, has been
unable to draw the State money. Already
two months have slipped by, and his
creditors are beginning to get impatient
at the delay.

Zaisler Recital.
They Begin to Realiza That Great
Artistic Is in Their
Midst.

There was q better attendance at the
Temple yesterday afternoon on the occa-
sion of Nine. Bloomfield Zeisler's third
piano recital. Possibly San Francisco is
beginning TO realize that unless it bestirs
itself and gives art the "glad hand" in
somew hat less gingerly manner, there
might be possibility of its losing the ex-
elusive reputation it fondly reserves for
itself that OF being city of cart connois-
seurs." OF course there Is an exonerating
contention not to be lost sight of. Nine.
Zeisler did not chance to be the '.fad,"
consequently genuine unalloyed art has
been lost upon serried ranks of empty
chairs instead of gladdening the heart of
the traditional San Francisco Emusic
lover"
The programme yesterday was as fol-
lows:

The pianist's rendering of the Beethoven
''Sonata" was warm and richly colored.
The minuetto and trio were especially
pleasing, and for an encore she played the
dainty little Minuet in 4 fiat major by the
same composer.
Under her manipulation the "Warum"
Dy Schumann was a living, palpitating
question. One almost wonders If the COM
poser himself could have made the mean
ing palmer.
The laughing, coquetish little Caprice
OF Paganini, transcribed by Schumann,
was given with sparkle and vivacity and
upon an enthusiastic demand Mime. Zeisler
obligingly repeated it.
The Chopin "Mazurka" was played with
Characteristic brio, and the "left hand"
Etude, Op. l. No. II. brought out her
marvellous technical power more bril-
liantly perhaps than any number on the
programme. After an intensely SYM
"Ballade" Top. 23), madame delighted her
auditors with the popular Minute Valse"
Chopin, Op. 81, No. u. as an encore.
hszts we'll known "Liebestraum"
Cloves Dreamy was played so tenderly
and plalntively that its familiar theme
assumed new meaning to the ears of its
many admirers.
The recital was brought to close with
the wedding music from the midsummer
Nights Dream" This artistic possesses in
marked degree the faculty of painting a
musical picture so that net an idea is lost
or the light and shadow blurred by a
single false stroke, and the Mendel sohn
music brought out this gift vividly.

sponded p with dainty little piece entitled

Instead OF stopping here. however, the bill fur-
ther provides that under sucg iesisarye 9c'od od

constitute Board for the leasing OF lad sad lands, n

declared that 1t sha not De neSes5ay % N 10 for

longer term than five years nor for term M extend e.

Under these provisions the lands reserved for the

feited TO the State 10000 acres Of farming land In

Oglesby OF London. England. who in time disposed
OF IL 10 Engishmen whose names are not known,
but who live mainly In Kansas City. Suit Is brought
under a law passed by the Legislature in 1884, which
declares forfeited property held by corporation not
Incorporated under State laws. Inquiry at the capi-
tai Yesterday shows that the company has never
been Incorporated. This is the first suit begun
under the law. and much interest attaches to II.
The property is valued at S,000000.
