March forecast in Word and Works
says the first regular storm
period will be from the LIST to the
4th. Beginning in the far west wide
areas OF rain and snow will pass
eastwardIy across the country. All
night gales that blow from the west
should not be regarded with appre-
hensiou.
From the 7th to the 9Th the e'e-
ments will react into a falling barom-
eter snow toward northern and rain
in central and southern states.
Tropical hurricanes on the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts may touch on
the 9Th.
A possible rush Of polar air from
the northwest should be kept in
mind from the Sth to The 18th.
No one should be caught unawares
by heavy sleet aud snow storms in
the North and West about March IL

Wild storms may develop from the

$1,000, 900 Worth of War ProjectrIes

Washington, d. c., March q
The most significant development
which has yet transpired in connec
ton with the recent preparations
for an emergency was the award by
the War Department of contracts for
S1,0O0,000 worth of proiectiles for
the new high-power guns mounted
on the coast Notifications. An un-
usual feature of the award 10 the
fact that it has been made in advance
OF Congressional authority and it
can, therefore, be considered in DO
other light than as an emergency
step.
The MidvAle Steel Works of Phila-
delphia, the Firth-Sterling Company
of Reading, Pa, got the contracts.

United States Supreme Court Decides That He Must Meditate and
 Work for Ten Years.

mandate was received yesterday from the Supreme Court of the United States confirming the judgment of the lower court in the matter of A. J. Sylvester Sylvester was a prominent politician of Pitt Valley, Shasta County and was chairman of the Populist county conven- tion of that county, a position which he filed with great dignity and satisfwStion, if not to his constituents at least him. self He did not approve of the financial system of the Government, and bitterly denounced all monopoles, including that of manufacturing the coin of the realm. He came to grief, however, by turnins out a large quantity of counterfeit half dollars, which the unfeeling and sordid public, including even the Populists, re- fused to accept at par. The tyrannical Government which at that time. accord ing to Patriot Sylvester's teachings. was under the control of millionaires, syndi- cates trusts and bond holders more or less bloated, seized Patriot Sylvester and cast him into prison.
 He was convicted In the United States District Court and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the penitentiary, and to pay a fine of 5000. Sylvester has been in Jail since June. 1896, and under the de- cision of the Supreme Court he must serve the full term.

GETTINGs REPENTANT.
The Shoe Clerk Promises to Support His Family and the Case Is
 Dismissed

Two days sojourn in the City Prison had softening effect upon George H. Gettings, the shoe clerk who was con- victed Saturday by Judge Mogan of fail- ing to provide for his two young children. When he appeared in court yesterday for sentence he faithfully promised the Judge to return to his wife and family and SUD- port them, and the Judge, for the chil- dren's sake, dismissed the case.
 Rose Finch, the woman whom Gettings lived with, failed to appear yesterday to answer to the charge of vagrancy, and a bench warrant was issued for her ar- rest. Judge Conlan. who granted the order to Attorney Martin Quinlan for her release Saturday is indignant at the way in which he was hoodwinked in issuing the order. He has ascertained that the woman was visited Sunday night by Get tings' two sisters and man, who pre- vailed upon her to leave the city by tell ing her that she would be arrested for Is determined to sift the matter to the bottom and punish those who caused the woman's disappearance. Her attorneys promise to have her in court this morning, as they do not believe she has left tha city,

THE NEW REGIMENT
 OF VOLUNTEERS
Park HenshaW to Be Colonel and Captain Darlington Lieutenant
 Colonel

It is settled, as published exclusively in The Call yesterday, that Park Hen shaw of Chico is to be commissioned colonel of the twelve company regi- ment of volunteers from California to fill the quota from this State under the second call Colonel Henshaw is a man of ability and an officer of experience and good judgment in military affairs He brought the old Eighth Regiment of the National Guard up to a high standard of merit during the years that he had command of that organization
 It has been suggested that the next regiment to be mustered into the Unit ed States service from California be numbered the Eighth in compliment to the excellent regimental organization that lost it's number by reason of the readjustment of the National Guard.
 It is accepted as a fact in military circles of the State that Captain Car rington, First United States Infantry, will receive a commission as lieutenant colonel of the new California regiment Captain Carrington's long service on the staff of Governor Budd has brought him into close touch with the military organizations of this State.

last batch of recruits and to-day the 300 men will be marched out to Camp Merritt and turned over to Colonel Berry of the Seventh, who will take them to Manila with his regiment.
 Captain Darlington had no difficulty in filling up the regiment; there were scores of applicants for enlistment at the Page street armory yesterday, hopeful that somebody would back down at the last moment and give them an opportunity to join the regiment.
 A large quantity of quartermaster stores were sent to the armory and as fast as the men were sworn into the service they were uniformed and equipped throughout, from underclothing to shoes and ban-. kets; After they go into camp they will be thoroughly drilled by officers of the Seventh detailed for the purpose, so that by the time they reach Manila trey will oe fitted for the hard duty before them. Ma1y of the recruits are former national guardsmen. consequently they will have little trouble in rounding into shape.
 The recruits from the south for the Seventh are expected to arrive tomorrow or Thursday. They will be taken to the Page-street armory and kept there until they are mustered into the service. This will take not more than two days, so that by Saturday Colonel Berry will have 1900 men under his command.

to the effect that Major A. K. Whitton of the Fifth Regiment of the National Guard will be commissioned as one of the two majors allowed to the new regi- ment. Major Whitton lives in San Jose and has been identified with the Fifth Regiment for many years.
 John A. Roster, formerly lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, accepted a commission of a lower grade in order to get into active service. There is talk that he will command one of the battalions of the new regiment. Only two majors are to be chosen, but the applicants are many. Colonel Roster has an excellent record so far as Ma tional Guard service is concerned. He is well up in military tactics, and fully capable of commanding battalion.
 Captain George B. Baldwin, another National Guard officer of distinction, may be commissioned in the new regi- ment. He possesses qualifications for service as regimental adjutant or quar- termaster.
 The selection of regimental surgeon has been made. The appointment of Dr. George F. Shiels is semi officially announced. Dr. Walter s. Van Dyke is likely to be one of the assistant sur geons, and pr. F. w. Dudley another. These three surgeons were ordered be- fore an examining board last evening Should the report of the board be fla vorable the appointments will be made without delay.

THE ORDERS TO EMBARK
Troops Designated for Each Transport of the Third Fleet.
 Seventh California Paid.

As far as can now be ascertained, pro- vided the vessels are ready and no fu- ture orders are issued changing the date of departure, the third expedition for Manila will leave Camp Merritt Thurs day. That is the troops will break camp on Thursday and go aboard the trans ports, but it is hardly probable that the vessels will sail before the beginning of next week.
 The following orders were issued yes terday morning from Third Brigade headquarters reassigning some of the troops to different transports from those on which it had been intended to ship them, as a result of the Seventh Cali fornia being thrown out and the regulars substituted:
 The troops of the command herein desig- mated will be placed in readiness to embark for the Philippine Islands the steamers hereinafter named, by Thursday next, the 2Sd instant. They are assigned to transports as follows:
 To the steamer Morgan City-All of the First Idaho Volunteers and the enlisted men of the First Nebraska and Second Oregon Volunteers awaiting transportation to those regiments
 To the steamer City of Para-AlI of the Thir- tion of the recruits for that regiment which have not yet arrived in camp

Major General Merritt, U. s. A, Gov ernor General of the Philippines, has fully decided to sail for Manila with the third fleet of the expeditionary forces, and with that end in view he is having matters connected with the ex- petition closed up as rapidly as pOssi- ble. The members of his immediate staff and all other officers assigned to duty on this flotilla are getting every thing in readiness for authorization. The date of sailing has not yet been definitely fixed It is not likely that the transports will get away before Saturday of this week, and the sailing may be deferred until early next week. General Merritt has not yet selected his flagship, but it is thought that it will be the Indiana.
 Should the sailing of the fleet be post poned General Merritt may sail on the cruiser Philadelphia, which, according to an army officer holding a high position, can be fully equipped for the voyage by that date. The general is in com municatiOn with the War Department regarding the Philadelphia, but has re- Ceived no definite reply as to the cruiser conveying the fleet of transports.
 | HG Sl6dUlSHip Ndl6nCld, lHe ldIeSl addition to the fleet, will go to the dry dock tomorrow morning and come out on Thursday, and under the supervi- sion of Major Long. the depot quarter master, will be made ready in time to sail with the other four vessels of the squadron.
 The Signal Corps under Major R. E. Thompson, which will sail with General Merritt, will consist of five officers and 55 men. A recruiting officer, however, will remain in San Francisco to enroll enough expert telegraph operators to fill the corps to it's maximum and to forward them to Manila, together with a large quantity of supplies, including a cable now being made in the East, to connect Corregidor Island with the mainland
 All the officers of General Merritt's staff must be vaccinated before they sail for Manila, and an army surgeon at the depot quartermaster's building on New Montgomery street is now per forming that operation as fast as the officers make their appearance.

GOING WITH A RUSH.
Active Operations in Getting the Third Fleet Ready for
 the Troops.

The work of getting the transports ready for the voyage to Manila went with rush yesterday. It is not settled whether not the Newport will go out with the third fleet, as 1t may be impos- sible to get her ready in time. Judging from the manner in which the Ohio, In diana, Morgan City and City if Para are being put in readiness they should get away next Saturday. Stores from the commissary department of the army be- gan to arrive at the various wharves yesterday, and the work of coaling all the vessels will be finished to-day. Last week it was thought the transports would be ready to sail on Thursday, but it can now be plainly seen that every body will have to put their foot foremost in order to get the vessels away by Sat urday.
 On the Ohio, at Lombard-street wharf, and the Indiana, at Pacific-Street wharf the work of coalng is still going on. In the forward part of each vessel $50 of Turner's patent hunks are to be put In, and then there will be accommodations for over a thousand soldiers on each ship. On the Morgan City 700 of the same kind of hunks have been put in, and a steam kitchen has been built on deck The boys will find the Morgan City very comfortable vessel. On the City of Para a hundred men were put to work yesterday, and Captain Howard says the .carpentering work will go through with a rush. The owners of the vessels say it will not be their fault if there is any delay, and the Govern ment is already rushing the supplies into the ships, so that no blame can lie at its door.
 The next fleet to get away will be com posed entirely of pressed vessels. The Newport was taken last Saturday. the City of Puebla two weeks ago and the Alameda, Acapulco and Valencia will make up the expedition. The Peru, which will be due here on the 24th inst, will probably also be pressed into service and sent to Manila.
 It is not from any want of patriotism that the owners of these vessels compel Uncle Sam to take them All of these steamers are in urgent demand by the various companies, and the Oceanic and by the taking of the Alameda, Peru, New

DIPHTHERIA IN CAMP.
Four Cases Sent From the Min nesota Regiment to the
 Marine Hospital

Diphtheria has finally made its ap- pearance at Camp Merritt. Four cases hearing all the earmarks of that dread disease were discovered yesterday in Company M of the Thirteenth Minnesota. They were immediately removed to the Marine Hospital and every precaution will be taken to prevent the spread of the malady.
 The number of cases of sickness in camp is rapidly decreasing. The measles epidemic is practically under control, but of the number of cases remaining many are of decidedly serious character. Ce- rebro spinal meningitis has made its ap- pearance and has spread so alarmingly that Major Owen has seen fit to report the matter to Major General Otis for gen
