Many mothers, fathers. wives and sweet
hearts are anXiously looking for news from
the great military camp at |Chicamauga
Park, where nearly 60, 900 of our stalwart
boys are preparing for the great conflict.
Climatic changes, the hazard of great
change in drinking water and the general
exposure in camp are fraught with consid-
cradle danger. That these dangers can be
overcome is a matter of general gratitica-

He then jumped on her and threatened to kill her if she did not re- veal the hiding place of her money. Fear ing that they would kill her their aged victim pointed to a bed In the adjoining room as if to indicate that her money was hidden there.
 While one of the brutal robbers stood over her to prevent ner from making an outcry his accomplice searched the bed. securing s47, which was hidden under the pillow. They then left the house, after threatening to return and kill her if she notified the police.
 The pitiful screams of the injured woman attracted the attention of several neighbors, and they went to her assist ance. While they were endeavoring to force an entrance to the house the aged husband of the unfortunate woman ap- peared. A police officer named Peshon, evidently anxious to swe.. his record. promptly placed him under arrest He was taken to the City Prison and his name entered on the small book Mrs. Bonnet, covered with blood, was subse- Quently taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that she had re- ceived lacerated wound of the forehead. a confusion of the face and also wounds of the nose and cheek.
 For some reason the police did all in brutal assault. A patrolman named Knight, who, through his influence with Chief Lees has been assigned to odutyin the City Prison on account of the absence of Desk Sergeant Bidwill. even went so far as to prevent the reporters from obtain ing Bonnet's statement. He declared that he was running the prison and would do as he pleased. Captain of Detectives Bohen. on hearing of his Czar-like meth ods, promptly sent Detective Dillon to call him down.
 said that the first he knew that his wife had been assaulted and robbed was when he walked along Stark street on his way home. He saw crowd standing in front of his house, and fearing that something had happened, he became excited and started to elbow his way through the throng. Just as he had reached the steps leading to his house he was seized by an officious policeman, who placed him under arrest for assaulting his wife.
 Bonnet, who Is S years Sdo Of age, was very Trahs wheh to institute eckeo up ns against the city for false imprisonment immediately upon his release from cus- tody.

the new committee met secretly to perfect a plan of campaign.
 The first business to be determined was the permanent organization of the City and County Committee. This was speedily disposed of, 1t being decided that at the meeting to be held this evening John P Dunn shall be elected chairman Since Dunn graduated from the sand lots un- der the tutelage of Denis Kearney he has been a persistent off1ce-seeker and has established for himself a reputation that comments him to such politicians as now have control of the governing body of the local Democracy.
 Thomas Walsh, member of the Iroquos Club and one of Phelan's most ardent supporters. An attempt was made to in duce Harry Kelly to become a candidate for the position, but he was apprised of the fact that his candidacy was desired for no other purpose than to give to the proceedings the semblance of a contest, so he gracefully declined the honor.
 Some progress was made in the prepa- ration of a local slate, but for obvious reasons the work of the caucus in this Harry Creswell for the office which he now holds was decided upon. Ex-Senator Finder is to get the nomination for Coun- ty Recorder and Tax Collector Bloch is to be given an opportunity to be re-elect- ed to the office which he now holds. There was a difference of opinion as to who should be given the nomination for Public Administrator, and for the pres ent the place is still open. It was agreed, however, that no matter who the nominee may be M. C.. Hassett is to secure the ap- pointment as attorney for the official when he shall be nominated and elected. Superior Judges Wallace and Seawell, whose terms expire with the present year, are to be rendered a renomination.
 So far as the office of Auditor is con- cerned Phelan is firm in his determine tion that Broderick shall be left off the list of eligibles. Who the lucky man Is to will not be Frederick
 This is as far as the new Democratic dictators have gone with the local slate. As to what part the new powers are to take in State politics there seems to be an entire unanimlty. The chiefest con- sideration, and one upon which all are agreed, is the defeat of Mcguire. Not only are the Congressman late guber- material aspirations to be nipped in the bud, but the powers have decreed that he shall even be defeated for the Congress sional nomination. To attain the first named object Phelan is to be put for ward as the Democratic candidate for the place at the head of the ticket and every effort will be made to secure for him the nomination. To prevent Mcguire from securing the Congressional nomina- ton another plan has been agreed upon. This Is to hold the Congressional conven- tion before the State convention, con- trary to the ordinary custom, and to give the nomination to another man, possibly Joseph Kelly. The success of this scheme depends upon its secrecy, the motive of

 TORS MEET DEFEAT.
BY JOE CORBETT.

Recreation Park was the scene of rather unique game of baseball yester- day, in which a picked nine representing San Francisco met and defeated a club composed of the Minnesota Volunteers It is not often that lovers of our national game are given an opportunity to see real live soldiers play it, and those who failed to put in an appearance yesterday most assuredly missed a great treat. The crowd was hardly as large as it might have been, and this scarcity of fans was undoubtedly caused by the very threatening weather. The "boys in blue," however, turned out in great numbers, bringing with them the Thirteenth Min nesota Regimental band, and swelled up the small attendance caused by our pe- culiar climate. The stands were liter ally covered with them, and how they

HEARTY COOPERATION. Chamber of Commerce Wants Sailing
 Ships Inspected,

That the idea of having sailing vessels properly inspected before they are al- lowed to carry passengers has taken the fancy of the Chamber of Commerce is shown by the following communication sent to the Board of Supervisors in an- swer to one informing the Chamber of the appointment of committee to pro- cure such legislation.
 John A. Russell Esq, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors San Francisco-Dear Sir: It Is with much pleasure l acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 7th inst, in regard to taking action to restrict the practice of sending out unseaworthy vessels from this port.
 I am directed by president, MT. hugh Craig, to say that in hea.ty acccrd with tie movement for the furtherauce If which you have appointed committee en- sistng of Messrs. Clinton, Morton and Lack mann.
 It Is only necessary to walk along the water front south of Market street and the class of vessels advertised to sail for Alaskan points, to have 1t impressed even upon the n-nauti- cal observer that many of them unfit for the trip and should the vessels be seaworthy in themselves the manner in which cargo Is placed on them renders them exceedingly dan gerous. This is confined to vessels, but many of the new ones so built and so laden as to be entirely unfit for ocean voy- age.
 We will be most pleased to cooperate with your committee and the Collector of the Port The next meeting of our Board of Trustees will be held Tuesday, June IA. at p. m. Yours very truly, E. SCOTT,
 Acting Secretary

and the two contesting teams. On com ing to a halt in deep center field they circled around the tall f1ag-pole, and while the band played in loud and beau tiful strains the "Star-spangled Banner" an immense copy of the stars and stripes was unfurled amid a tremendous out burst of enthusiasm among the specta- tors. After this most patriotic in- cident Umpire Creamer-who very kindly volunteered his services-yelled play ball" and in very few moments all was over with our gallant soldier boys save the shouting, as the San Franciscos immediately piled up eight runs. After this brief bombardment the game was chance for the Minnesota team to win was concerned, as it was quite evident that they were outclassed However, the game proceeded, each inning lessening the chances of our Eastern friends, until after two hours of good and poor play ing the San Franciscos came out victorf- ous by score of 26 to 5; This big score, however, does not signify that the game was devoid of brilliant plays and other interesting features. The simple fact of the soldiers having. days recreation those present, and the gallant manner in which they cheered and rooted for their colleagues, even when defeat was star ing them in the face, added additional rendered some very charming and stir ring music. It even went so far as the midway in its selections, accompany ing MT. Tucker in his rendition of 'She never saw the streets of Cairo"
 This very amusing incident occurred when Tucker succeeded Scallon in the box. His walk appealed to the band. who had been inhaling the fumes of cigarettes, having decided Turkish odor," as be- ing characteristic of the poor little with the muscle dance music, which, 1 must confess, was not entirely out of place, for If ever fellow had that "sus- picious muscular movement in his work 1t was MT.

Each of these gentlemen made brilliant individual plays, Mosler, however, outshining the others, his running enchanted catch of a long drive to the left field fence, and was about the best seen at Recreation Park this season. MT. Mosier should feel very proud of his work. The Minnesota team, although badly defeated, should not feel discour- aged. To be sure they did not play the best kind of game, yet their work was excellent, when one considers that their facilities for practice are lacking in a good many respects. Then, again, their team was composed for the occasion without an opportunity to practice team work. and this certainly did handicap players outside of those who were con- spicuous in yesterdays game, and with a little more team work, intermingled with practice, they undoubtedly would give, some of our city teams hard of s25o will be turned over to the society of the Red Cross.

 Ambitions.
THE CITY AND COUNTY COMMIT
 TEE IS THEIRS.

The men who are to rule the destinies of thenew Democratic City and County Com mittee met in secret caucus yesterday and began the making up of the slate that in due time will be handed out to the public as the true expression of the will of the local Democracy.
 Other things than the preparation of a slate were developed at the back-door meeting. There no longer remains doubt that the Democratic party, through the new governing body brought into exist ence by McNab, Gould and Afford, has fallen into the hands of combination composed of Governor Budd, Mayor Phe- Ian and Boss Buckley.
 The fact that such combination was formed was suspected by shrewd poli- ucians when Buckley joined with Phelan to secure the adoption of the new char ter, and Budd, as a member of the com mittee having in charge the pacification of the local Democracy. went back on the Rainey- -Harney faction and pooled issues with the powers that brought the pres ent City and County Committee into exist ence. This suspicion became a certainty yesterday when the controlling spirits in

the plan being to keep Mcguire in ignor- ance Of what is intended and secure Tn the belief that if he fails to stampede the convention in his behalf for Governor he can then fall back on the Congressional convention. By holding the Congressional convention first the statesman will be taken by surprise and he will not be left leg to stand on.
 James H. Barry is to have the Con- gressfonal nomination in the Fifth Dis trict. Hinton will be nominated for Rail- road Commissioner, and John H. Grady will be put up as candidate for place on the Board of Equalization.
 Budd. Phelan and Buckley believe that they are in a position to dictate their own terms to the party, and there is little doubt their ability to do so if they can retain their hold on the new City and County Committee In this they have the assistance of such able lieutenants as McNah and Gould of this city. Fitzgerald of Oakland and Corporal Braunhart. AL f,I, ford will probably retire to the wilds. of Tulare County when he finds that he has been made catspaw of to haul the chestnuts of more astute politicians out of the fire.
