VICTORIA'S APPEAL.

THINKS Oueen REGENT SHOu1u HOSoo0
Her Son by Peace.
New York, May IA special to the
World from London says:
Ouenn Victoria has personally appealed
to the queen regent to sue for peace, on
the ground that the longer war continues
the more her sons prospects will be jeop-
ardized. There is a general feeling here
and on the continent also that a contlnu-
ance of the war by Spain will be nothing
short of criminal lunacy, but it is clearly
understood that the European powers VIII
not intervene unless they are invited by
Spain and on conditions acceptable to the
United States.

A DISTINCT SERVICE.
How to Keep Your Friends In
Alaska Posted.

(From the Alameda Encinal)
On Sunday the Sacramento Record
Union printed history of the present
war to date, which is model of COM
pleteness and brevity. We had been
looking for something of the kind to
send to Alaska, where newspapers are
a rarity and those sent through the
mails never reach their destination.
This history occupies but small space,
can be cut out and put in an ordinary
letter, and the recipient will be able to
post himself thoroughly upon all the
important occurrences that have so far
transpired. In publishing it the Rec
ord-Union' has rendered a distinct
service to those at least who have rel
atives or friends in Alaska whom they
desire to keep posted on the war. 1T is
to be hoped the paper mentioned will
keep on in it's good work and publish a
chapter every week or so. Lit saves
lot of letter writing, at all events.

to the sun. They played baseball for
two hours in the sun yesterday, rested
one hour and then drilled an hour and
three-quarters from g to 7:45.
1.-The men are all right and Battery

ed on. Seventeen were rejected on ;.c
count of faulty eyesight, hearing and
chest expansion; six deserted to 60 20
Manila (via Canby), and forty-two re-
main in camp. There are some eighty
more who have not been sent for to

forenoon demonstration There Will be
at least / 800 men in Line under the
marshalship of Master Mechanic L. w.

thereafter the exercises at the Pavil
ion viii take place on schedule time
and the people will be dismissed in time
to procure lunch and prepare to attend
the afternoon events.
The procession has been SO arranged

of decorated private vehicles, an en-
tirely new feature, in which will ap-
pear many beautifully trimmed equip
ages.
Another of the many attractive feat

On Friday afternoon some one left
the embers of a campfire in the hills
near Latrobe. and these set fire TO the
dry grass. The fierce north wind drove
the flames in a southeasterly direction,
and soon the fire spread over wide
stretch of country.
Buildings and fences on the Prothero
ranch were destroyed, and the national
holiday celebration in the Prothero
Grove was broken up by the fire, the
pavilion barely being saved.
The hills and fields were covered with
dry grass and brush, and the fire was
swept onward with frightful speed by

in buildings, fences, cordwood, live
stock and pasturage will run up into
