Her bunk CTS carry coal enough to give her a Steamlng capacity of upward of 5000 miles at a. good cruising speed. At pres- ent she is on the way back from Unalaska and is expect ed in port at any hour. She went north towing a vessel to Dutch Harbor, a haul of 2Ioo miles. The vessel is very stoutly constructed. Ship builders say her hull is stronger than that of the cruiser Charleston. The an gle bars are of the same weight as those of the cruiser but they are closer together in her hull. The Fearless could be used to advantage as a ram should the occasion present itself.
 She is fitted with powerful Wrecking and fire pumps and an electrlc-light plant. Above her pilot-house she has a powerful search light, and with little change to her fittings will become a great adjunct to the fleet of battle ships now in Rear Admiral Miller's command.
 The Vigilant was built at Cramps shipyard in Phila- delphia. She was known on the Delaware as the George w. Pride, and she was at the time of her pur- chase the largest tug on that river. She was launched in 1890. She is of I55 regis tered tons. She is I22 feet long, p feet beam and I2 feet 7 inches depth of hold. Her engines develop 55o horse power and are capable of driving the tug along at a speed of I3 knots. She, too, is fitted with powerful fire and wrecking pumps. Soon after she was launched she was brought to this coast, and ever since she has been doing duty as a tugboat in this harbor.

TH1RTY-sECoND DISTRICT CLUB. Democrats Pass Resolutions Against the Appointment of the Com
 uittee of One Hundred.

The Thirty-second District Democratic Club held its regular weekly meeting last night. There was large and enthusias- tic attendance. James Boylan made a vigorous speech denouncing the action of the Democratic State Central Committee in appointing the committee of 100 as un- Democratic, un-American and without pre- cedent The following resolution was adopted by acclamation:
 We. the members of the Thirty-second As sembly District Democratic Club. in regular meeting. deprecate and denounce the action of the Democratic State Central Committee in the appointment of the committee of 100, there noring the wishes of at least 1000 Democrats of this city. and furthermore, giving tn. power of perpetuating themselves in office without tenure or term. which is certainly unAmerican, unwise and unDemocratic.
 We therefore ask that the secretary of the Democratic County Committee address a let ter to the president of the Democratic clubs in each of the Assembly districts, and there by get consensus of opinion, and that there after you regular mass meeting of the Democrats of this city to be held at the very earliest and convenient date, for the pur- pose of harmonizing the Democratic party. so that victory may be ours at the next general election; and
 That 1t is the sense of the Thirty-second District Democratic Club that the chairman and secretary of the Democratic General Com mittee be notified to call a meeting of the general committee on or before the Eth day of June 1898.

THE FIFTH REGIMENT.

The Fifth Regiment Infantry expects to be included in the quota of California on the second call for volunteers, and 1t wants to go as a regiment. To complete it it will have to have four companies added and the existing companies will have to be recruited up to the maximum. This the officers say they can do at very short notice. Last week, in anticipation of being called to the front, the board of officers held a meeting and discussed a plan of action. It was decided that if called upon to be mustered in the regt- ment will present itself in such a man ner that it will be credit to the State. All of the men who have been members of the several companies for some time and are well up in the tactics will be furnished with the new uniforms pro- vided by the State, and those who come under the head of recruits will be fur nished with uniforms that were in use prior to the issuance of the new ones, and these recruits, instead of being dis tributed throughout the company, will be placed at the rear, in order that the we'll drilled men may, in marching, show that they are soldiers and not have their movements interfered with by men who in time will be their equals, but who are not yet sufficiently well drilled to under stand the execution of each command. It is the intention of the officers to be designated "the Dandy Fifth of Califor- nia." Colonel Fairbanks has the ma- terial to make 1t such and he will take

? Reorganization of the
 Guard to Be Delayed.
A POINT AS TO THE STANDING
 OF ENLISTED MEN.

It is uncertain now when the National Guard of the State of California will be Teorganized as it is not known at this time the precise number of men to be fur nished from the Guard to fill the second call for volunteers. If the number re- Quired is to be that given when it was first announced what California; s second quota would be, namely, 1922, that would allow the requisite number to fill the sew eral companies up to the maximum and then allow the Fifth Regiment to go as an organization, as was done in the case or sthe First and Seventh Infantry, but If the quota is to be reduced to 1076. as an- nounced in the dispatches oflast Saturday, then the members of the Fifth could not go a regiment that could preserve It's organization. Until that is definitely set tied il will be impossible to go ahead with the reorganization. d. ::.:
 The plan of reOrganization is still being worked upon, and 1t Is probable that Aconclusion will be reached this week. Then, as soon as the disposition of the troops shall have been a thing of the past, the work of organizing new guard Tor the State will be vigorously prosecuted

 sos Broadway, May 31.
 The. resignation of Rev. W. Sawyer of the Central Christian Church will prob ably end in the long desired union of the two churches of that denomination in this city. The Central Church was brought up to a paying membership through the efforts of Rev. Edwards Davis, and since he left the pulpit that branch of the or ganization has been gradually dwindling away.
 On "Wednesday evening the church off, cials will meet and 1t is stated the resig- nation of MT. Sawyer will be accepted The Central Church agreed to give him stipulated salary when he came here couple of months ago from Montana. So far, however the money has not been paid, and the church is not in a condition to keep its promise. A large part of it's former membership, which was attracted mainly by the peculfarities of Rev. Ed wards Davis. has fallen away, and there Is now revival of the effort to unite with the First Christian Church and to worship under one roof. The two branches could support one pastor and be free from financial pressure, but now there is not enough membership to support two
 During the palmy days of Rev. Ed wards Davis the finances of the church were in such good condition that Rev. Ed wards Davis frequently gave away on Sunday evening l-le whole of the collec- ton for the purpose of advertising his church. The getting of money did not seem to trouble the pastor in those days, and as he was single man, his personal requirements were very slight. Now, how ever, with decreased membership, the expenses are greater, and there is a prob ability of the union, which was upset about six months ago solely through the efforts of MT. Davis, just at a time when it seemed to be certain of being consum- mated.

The organization will be kept up and the divisions kept recruited up so that there will always be number of willing men on hand to meet any call that the Navy Department may make within the limit of the militia's numerical strength, and those who will remain be- hind will perfect themselves in all the de- tails of the duties to which they may be assigned.
 There is only one branch of the militia that feels agrieved at the course of events and that Is the meocal corps which was not included in the call.
