Standard Of excellence both as to quantity

IN ordinary share Of credit.
The charge of drunkenness which has
placed liquor houses in disfavor with so
many people has been the outgrowth of
the sale and consumption of adulterated
and impure liquors which have previously
been tempered with by the ''middle-man. :;

It was learned from the Chief Sur
geon's headquarters that the largest
per cent. of sickness in camp is in the
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois reg
iments, and that the percentage of
sickness among these regiments is very
small and inconsequential. The health
of the camp, considering the conditions,
is remarkably good, and it is believed
that, aside from the usual slight COM
plants incident to these seasons, the
worst of it is over now with the men
who have made such a radical change
in temperature, water and diet.

These troops complete the regiment Of

have arrived and will be distributed to-
morrow.
The complaint about lack of water
has been quieted.
Pipe lines have been completed to
those regiments from a stream remote
from the water supply.
1t is understood that the two army
corps, the First and Third, now being
formed, will be the only troops to oc-
cupy park territory. Negotiations are
now proceeding to lease a tract of g.
600 acres just outside and north of the
park near what is known as Grimes
Lake, a body of fresh water supplied
by never-failing springs, and that the
Sixth Corps, to be commanded by Cen
eral Wilson, will occupy this side. The
ground is high and rolling and it's close
proximity to water makes it a most
desirable point for the encampment of
such a large body of men.

Secretary Alger Knows Nothing
New Concerning the Fleets.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secretary
Alger was at the Navy Department
about an hour this morning, and on
leaving he stated that no official re-
ports had been received from the fleets
and that he knew nothing more posi-
tive than yesterday in regard to their
location. He thought it likely, how
ever, that something would be received
this evening.
Secretary Alger spent some time at
the War Department in consultation
with General Miles regarding army
matters. From an intimation from a
high army source, it is regarded as al
most certain that there will be no i'm

Linton who is riding in America this

first man in the world to ride thirty
miles and subsequently, thirty lone

Up in New York they have wheel
ways under the local government COM
mission, and riders on them have to
wear and pay for wheel badges. A
police patrol is maintained on these
paths. Here in Sacramento wheelmen
work like slaves to collect money and
build fine paths, costing nearly S2,0'O,
and when they issue badges and beg
riders to take them at a nominal sum,
and thus become partners in the paths
they find but a handful willing to pay
for what they enjoy. It is graVely sug-
gested, as the 1000 riders in the coun-
ty who use the wheelways appear to
be content for the other fellows to foot
the bill and pay the cost of keeping
the paths in order that the other fel-
lows plow up the paths and let the
whole business go to the dogs. Why
not? To this date a beggarly 500 worth
of badges have been sold for 1898, and
the year nearly half gone, but fully
1000 wheelmen and wheelwomen have
thus early enjoyed the pleasures of the
Folsom wheelway. Plow it up, gentle
men, and let riders take to the dust and
the cobbles It is bitter injustice that

LONG FIGHT ON REVENUE BILL.
SENATE LIKELY TO DEVOTE ALL
THIS WEEK TO 1T.

Considerable Debate Probable on the
Lodge Amendment Providing for
the Annexation of Hawaii-Predfc-
tiOn Made Tint senator Lodge VIII
Refrain From Pressing Amend
ment to n VOte-TO-day a Holiday
in Both Branches.
Washington, May 29.-Having decided
at the last moment Saturday to observe
Memorial day, the Senate will not be in
session again until Tuesday.
The finance committee will, however,
meet on Monday in an endeavor to perfect
the revenue bill in minor details. There
is stiIl no certainty as to when the vote
may be taken on the revenue bill.
It looks as if the entire week would be
spent upon it. and none of the members
of the committee undertake to predict the
exact date of the Senate's conclusion of
its work.
There are still number of speeches to
be made on the bin and upon amendments.
1t is probable that there will be more
or less debate upon the Lodge amendment
for the annexation of Hawaii and the Nor
gan amendment relating generally to the
government of annexed territory.
Both Senators Lodge and Morgan an
nounce their intention to make speeches
on the subjects involved, and senators es-
pousing the opposite view declare their
purpose to reply if the subject is opened.
Republicans generally predict that Sen
ator Lodge will refrain from pressing his
amendment, and it is the general opinion
that he will at least not go to the extent
of asking a vote upon it, and thus subject
ing the measure to a motion to lay upon
the table.
Whenever the final vote is reached on
the revenue bill there is no longer much
doubt as to the shape in which it will be
passed by the Senate. The decisive vote
of Saturday on the corporation tax amend
ment renders it quite certain that all the
Democratic amendments will be eliminat-
ed from the bill, and that the Republican
suggestion for the issuance of $4,000 ),
900 in bonds and $lOO,0O0OOO in time GER
thcates will be substituted for the House
bond and certificate provision.
The general impression about the SEN
ate Is that the House will accept the ma
jority of the Senate amendments and that
consequently the bill will not be long in
conference.
With the revenue bill disposed of, there
may be an effort to secure an independent
expression on Hawaiian annexation, but
this will depend upon future developments.
| The conference reports on appropriation
bills will also be in order There will be
several of these the sundry civil being
the most important.

contends, il would preciptate a fight there
that would prolong indefinitely the ses-

Especially is he opposed to forcing the
