the most sanguIne and enthusiastic friends
of the new building.
Long before most people were astir
lusty corps of brawny house-movers was
on the scene, and IN a few hours one of
the old iwo-story houses that has stood as
landmark for many years was on the
rollers and on It's way toward the Mis-
sion, where it is to be placed for the re-
mainder of its career. In few minutes
more a band of hatchet men and ak
wielders was demolishing two or three of
the little shanties that have stood at the
west end of the lot for many years.
The superintendent of the grounds, who
has had charge of the work for many
years, and who has patiently overseen the
boring of holes and driving of piles since
the early nineties, said that the work un-
der way meant that there would be q gen.
uine start for new Postoffice, and that
the policy of delay was about at an end.
Within few hours there was a great
crowd around the lot and soon the electric
light men put enough slack IN the wires
10 admit of their being lifted so that the
buildings could be carried forward under
them without contact. Though the wires
were all alive and hanging quite low the
work went forward ali day without inter.
ruption and by an early hour to-day all
the buildings will be either moving or
under way to complete dem clifton. The

scene presented yesterday afternoon dur
ing the passing of the old structures was
one that cheered many who live in the
vicinity and many from all parts of the
City who have been eagerly waiting for
the sound of hammer and troweI and for
the opportunity to earn living by honest
work.
Eight old buildings in all were being
taken down or moved away yesterday,
and when they are gone the ground will
be ready for the excavations of the found
alton, which will be one of the most SUBJ
stantial known to modern engineering.
II the appropriations go forward without
delay 1t is believed there will be work for
a few hundred men within the next six
months. Those in Congress and else
where. who are doing ali they can to
hurry the work, saw that there is no good
reason why the active construction should
be much longer delayed. San Francisco
has already been put at the end of the
Federal procession for many years and
the people have been so patient that even
those who have been responsible for the
delays begin TO take pity on her and they
will probably not stand in the way much
longer.

NOTES FOR THE
NATIONAL GUARD
The Change in the Small
Arms Firing Regu-
lationS.
A New Departure in the Matter
OF Furnishing Rations at
Encampments.
Reports Abcut the Signal Corps-The
Naval Battalion Preparing for
Its Cruise.

The members of the National Guard who are
to be drilled under the new regulations next
month are anxiously awaiting the distribu-
tion Of the manuals. General orders issued
recently announced that three copies would be
distributed 10 each company, but the distribu-
tion is very slow.
Owing TO the changes in the small-arms fir-
Ing regulations and the change in the law re-
quirlng the National Guard to parade more
than once year for target practice, there will
be no State shoot in June. Between the law
and the regulations there has teen such a
variance that the guardsmen were at q loss to
know what they had 10 do in the matter of
target practice, and they concluded not to do
anything until after the end of the current
month, when the new firing regulations will
go into effect, and then commence all anew
again. The members of the National Guard
VIII practice on silhouette targets, which rep
resent men al certain distances in various atti-
tudes, and which gives the mRrksman better
opportunity TO determine the object sh OF at
than ring target, and will give the judges an
opportunity to determine If the marksmen ap-
preciate the value of the instruction "shoot
low"
Colonel Fairbanks of the Fifth Infantry, Sec.
ond brigade, in recent orders expressed him
self in favor of silhoueites, and announced
that such viii be used camp. Such targets
viii also be used at all the camps this year,
At the camps this year there will be de-
parture from the system of the past in the
matter of furnishing rations to the men.
There Will be issued 10 each company an oven,
such as is used in the regular army, and each
company will have 10 arrange to prepare the
raw material fur nished by the commissary
1t is expected tn at under this arrangement
and the furnishing of rations very similar to
hose issued in the regular army will do away
with much OF the complaining that prevailed
in the past under the contract system.
