The events Of the war confirm what
Admiral Dewey said in recent inter
view, TO the effect that "Torpedoes
and their appliances are good in their
way, but are entirely of secondary i'm
portance." The admiral believes above
everything in good guns. the best
craftsmanship. high-gradc men and
thorough inspection. All these essen
tials can be justly claimed by the
American navy.

The most dilapidated military or
ganizations the country has seen are
the two crack" regiments in New
York and Brooklyn that undertook to
dictate to the government the terms
on which they would respond to the
call for volunteers. One OF the rcgi-
ments has been disbandcd and little is
left of the other except its gold lace
and useless equipment. Its services
are declined, although it has realized
its mistake. The lesson Is severe, but
salutary.

rather peculiar game case came up

in Kewanee who makes speciality of
shipping to the east prairie chickens,
quail and other game birds, and does
business on very large scale. Unfor-
tunately for him at the present june
ture he is not particular where or
when he gets the birds and the game
warden is after him. Each bird killed
In the close season is violation of the
law, and this man has shipped 13,O54
birds. On this transaction the mini.
mum fine is $65,O00. and the maximum
fine S325,OOO. The warden is willing to
take the lowest amount and call it
square. but the dealer objects. How
ever, he will have to pay heavy fine
for his defiance Of just law.

TO TRANSPORT TROOPS
The City Of Peking Docked to Be
Cleaned


SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-The work of
discharging the cargo of the 0ity of Peking
was begun Immediately after her arrival
last night and will soon be completed. She
will be docked, cleaned and turned over to
the government, when she will be prepared
for use as transport.
She will be able to take at least 5000 SOL
diers in addition to about $500 tons OF
freight. By Saturday it is expected she can
be loaded and ready to sail. Captain Ire.
maine Smith and his officers will remain in
charge of the steamship. While in Hong
Kong a cable was received from Washing
ton ordering the American Consul to de-
tain the Peking, but Admiral Dewey cabled
back to the effect that she would probably
be Of more use here and that II vessels were
required they could be bought in Hong
Kong. After some little cable correspond
ence the Peking was allowed to sail with
orders to make the best time possible to
San Francisco.
Under arrangements with the War De-
partment at Washington the Southern Pa
cific Company is preparing to move abou.
1000 troops from Portland and 5000 from Og-
den. These troops will be modified here
preparatory to removal to Manila.
Preparations are being made to supply
the Police Department of San Francisco
with Gatling guns and four hundred Spring
field rifles. AS there are about 100 Spring.
field rifles and 200 Krag Jorgensen rifles in
the arsenal at Benicia there will be no diff.
Guilty in securing all the arms required
here.
Governor Budd win at once proceed to
reorganize the National Guard of Califor.
mia, which 1t is proposed to make much
stronger than heretofore.
