Royal Descendant Opposed.

Trouble is said to have beset the aris-
tocratic New York dame who has been
striving to establish the Order of the
Crown" a society to be made up of per-
sons of royal descent. This ambitious
lady. with a king for a great ancestor,
hoped that the new society would be
the most select i'm the world" and in
it's glory and exclusiveness she was TO
have part and lot.
'All people" observed the lady Of the
crown, are of the two classes-either
they are descended from kings, in
which case ii is an easy matter to trace
their ancestry. or they are descended
from servants, in which case they do
not wan To know about their fore
fathers"
But this worthy troubles are
not limited to her royal affairs. She
combined with her royal craftsmanship
a devotion to the republic. and enjoyed
an eminent position in the Daughters
OF the American Revolution. Recently,
however. there have been signs of sedi-
ton among her followers and an ILL
concealed attempt on the part of GER
tain members of her chapter to turn
her down when the annual election FOR
regent comes on, as IL Will in a few
weeks.
All kinds of things a v been said
or limited at about the present regents
lack of executive ability, tact and other
qualities essential to a successful pre-
siding officer. Temperamentally and
politically there are differences also
between the leader and the rank and
file of this chapter of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, which Is said
to be quite as militant as the larger
body of which it is a part or as the
ancestors TO whom they owe their ex-
istence. There are illusions, too. to a
certain ONprbp9ring attitude DISPLAYED
during the last Washington convention
and sights put upon certain members
in attendance. All her old friends
however. have not disappeared. and the
tinsel royalist expects to ultimately tri-
umph over her detractors.

ACCURACY OF GUNNERs.
A Test With the Ten-Inch Guns at Fort Point Yesterday
 Afternoon.

The accuracy of American gunners, to- gether with the irresistible destructive force of the modern high power gun, WAS never better illustrated than in the test ing of the three big 10-inch guns at Fort Point yesterday The guns were hred py Battery E. Third Artillery, under com mand of Captain Pratt This battery a disappearing one. was fired for the pur- pose of testing xhe carriages recently ad- justed by Captain Rabbit of the ord nance Department. The weight ot the shells was 575 pounds each, and the charge of powder to each was 2SO pounds; The velocity was 2025 feet per second, ana the range was at Q target o1 Polnt DO nita. a distance of 4630 yards, or over three miles Both the first and second shots were liners and would have struck a vessel the first 20 feet above the water line and the second 15 feet above The third fell ten yards short, but would have struck on a ricochet. The test was eminently satisfactory to the artillery or ficers It was witnessed by the soldiers of the Sixth California Regiment and the First Battalion of the First Washington. and a large number of officers. The noise caused by the shells in the course through the air was deafening. When they hit the water they threw the spray into the air to the height of a hundred feet and then made ricochet distance of 15G0 feet beyond, where they hrst struck.

W00DMEN TAKE AN
 OUTING ON THE WATER
PLEASANT EXCURSION ON SAN
 FRANCIS co BAY.
Harbor and Points of Interest on the City Front.

The head officers and delegates to the camp of the Pacific Jurisdiction of the Woodmen of the World were the guests of the reception committee of the local camps yesterday, and they enjoyed the, hospitality of the committee in the nature of an excursion on the bay on board of the steamer Caroline, Captain Leale In addition to the officers and delegates there were large number of ladies, many of them delegates to the Grand Circle of the Women of Woodcraft
 There were about 200 persons on board :, and the trip was enlivened by music by a brass band The steamer cast off at 10 o'clock and steamed from Pacific-street wharf along the front to Fort Point giy- ing the excursionists good opportunity to view all points of interest. Then the steamer was headed for Sausalito, after through Raccoon Straits to within req sonabIe distance of the quarantine sta tion on Angel Island, where they had an opportunity to obtain distant view of several hundred passengers from China who are quarantined there. Then they were taken along the line of the eastern shore of Marin County as far as San Quentin, the steamer going close to the landing place, from which point all had an opportunity to see the State prison and surroundings.
 At noon the steamer slowed down and the guests were treated to a fine collation..
 Then a course Southward was taken, the steamer on the way uOWu clTcllHB round the United States ship Bennington, the excursionsts cheering the men on the war vessel. After that they were taken to the drydock at Hunters Point, where they were allowed to land and view the dock, a great curiosity to many of the delegates. They were. also taken close to the Onion Iron Works, where they had an opportu- nifty to see the torpedo-destroyer Farra- gut and number of vessels on the ways undergoing repairs.
 Members of the local camps and the committee were kept busy explaining all points of interest which could be seen from the deck of the steamer. The ex- cursion was most pleasant one, and the strangers were loud in their praises of the committeeman who had provided such an interesting days outing for them. They were also praiseful of the beauty of the bay and the surroundings.
 Tn the evening there was an exemplifi- cation of the work of the woodcraft be- fore the delegates in Odd Fellows Hall by a team in costume.

SEVENTH CALIFORNIA.
Now Located at the Presidio. Denial That It Has an Epi-
 dennic of TVphoid

:: The Seventh California Regiment moved over to the Presidio yesterday morning and went into camp to the west sof the First New York upon the cavalry parade ground The report of an epidemic of ty- phoid fever in the regiment is denied by Colonel Berry and his medical officers. Captain Roblee. one of the surgeons, said yesterday: There Is no epidemic of fever and the general health is good The facts are that Companies I and H, when we went into camp upon the site formerly occupied by the North Dakota were so unfortunate as to locate over some gar bage sinks, not known to. us at the time. Several cases of fever developed among the. men of these companies, and the fe- yer was entirely confined to them. Only fourteen cases in the whole regiment were. sent to the division hospital. Some of these are now convalescing, while ~others have the disease in a mild form This fever was caused entirely by the local trouble, and 1t was deemed best, as the regiment was not to be Immediately sent away, that it should be moved. The fever would have appeared under like circumstances in any regiment, and 1t Is mot an epidemic"
 Colonel Berry confirms Captain Rob- lees statement by saying that the fever Is not an epidemic. but the result of local trouble, and he further states that his command Is fit and ready for service.

COL. BARBER's DAMPENER.
A Story to the Effect That His Adverse Letter on Camp
 Sites Played the Mischief

The men at the Presidio are thoroughly disgusted and especially so are the sol diers of the long ill-treated Seventh Cali fornia in finally being turned down. The disappointment of again being ordered to remain here is especially hard on this regiment. and it would appear that it is destined to see all of it's service in San Francisco. There is story back of the order for the sending of no more troops to the Philippines that is worth telling, as it again brings forward the long talked of and much discussed pull of Colo mel Barber, of the First New York Regi- ment The facts as given out by prom inent officer at the Presidio show that the aforesaid pull of Colonel Barber is respon- sible for the temporary delay in getting the troops away.
 General Merriam was in receipt of let ter from Colonel Barber after he reached Honolulu, in which that officer expatiated at some length upon the difficulty he had experienced in finding suitable site for a camp. It is said that Colonel Barber was somewhat embittered because he was unable to secure a particularly choice sit- uatfon. Whether true or not, he threw such a damper upon available camping sites, in his letter to General Merriam, that that officer deemed 1t best to leave at once for Honolulu to look into the matter himself This explains the gen. erals sudden departure.

 Suit in Jail.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 


 Mary S. Lawrey has brought suit for divorce from Edward c. Lawrey, the author of the song which has frequently brought forth applause in San Francisco theaters-"Boys, Remember the Maine" The couple have not been married many years, but the wife alleges that there Is a sad lack of patriotic feeling on the part of her husband. as shown by his treat ment of his wife. A peculiar incident in connection with the suit was discovered when papers were served on Lawrey. He has two names, and when he gets into trouble he appears as J. Yareveli. Under the latter name he is now serving a short sentence for drunkenness in the County Jail, and his identity would not have been discovered had not his wife brought suit for divorce just at the time when 1t was so easy to find her husband.
 When told of the action to which he is defendant this afternoon Lawrey cried like a child "It is all due to drink drink, drink" said he. My wife has charged me with attempting to choke her and with throwing her against the furni- ture and similar acts of cruelty, and guess they are all true 1 have been rem dered so unnatural by drink that I do not know what I might have done.
