General Merriam Has
So Stated.
TRANSPORTS NOW EXPECTED
THE ORDER OF DEPARTURE
NOT YET DETERMINED.
Colonel Smith Of the Tennessee Regi-
ment Turns Over the Money
for the Thomas Fam
.ily's Damages.

, There is yet possibility that the Sew
enth California Regiment may go to Ma
Mia
The above statement was made yester-
day afternoon by Major General Merriam
at department headquarters: Beyond
this the general would not discuss the
matter or give out anything for publica-
ton, but he intimated that he had re-
ceived news from Washington that
showed that the mastering out of the
Seventh may be ordered stopped at any
moment, and in fact 1t is believed that
the orders have been received and will
be communicated to Captain Pratt to-day.
Late yesterday afternoon, when Cap
tain Pratt closed his office for. the day
and left for his home at Fort Mason, he
declared that he had received no orders
10 cease mastering out the regiment. but
he stated that result of what he had
seen in the papers he had stopped giving
any of the men their discharges. The
captain said that he had found the regi-
ment in excellent shape and that there
was no better in. the service. AS far as
Captain Pratt's work is concerned he will
have. the regiment ready to go to Los An
geles tomorrow.
The transports are daily expected to be-
gin arriving here. The Senator should
get here this week for a certainty, and
there may be two more vessels in If Ii
is found that they do not have to go into
drydock, then the first of the detach-
ments of the troops may get away in
about two weeks time. Quartermaster
Thompson had an interview with General
Merriam, in which the latter stated that
the men must be supplied with ponchos
as. they had been found more service
able than overcoats, for the latter had
proven of no use to the troops in the
warm climate, AS to the order in which
the troops will leave no one at present
knows anything. 1t is probable that Cen
eral Merriam will ask General Miller for
MS recommendations or he may turn the
probable.
Private Harry E. Goodrich, Company
NJ, Seventh California Regiment, died at
the. Division Hospital late on Sunday
night of typhoid fever.
Colonel Smith of the Tennessee Regi-
ment yesterday turned over to Assistant
Adjutant General Woodward. of General
Miller's staff, the money for the dam
age done the property of Zero Thomas

money will be given to Thomas to-mor-
row. This formally closes the affair.

The TiXOli.

Gounods lyrical masterpiece attracted a good
audience to the Tivoli last night. 1t seems to
me that there is hardly another opera in which
composer is better reflected. Gounod's mar
veously composed music stands upon a pure
and platonic plane Like Chopin, Grieg WaS-
ner and perhaps Saint-Saens, he sets his indi-
vidual seal upon his work in a way that can
scarcely be mistaken. But Gounod, as an ex-
ponent of pure music, untinged-I will not say
tainted-by mundane considerations, seemed to
swim aloft with the eternals. and to view mere
human praise or blame with the fine indiffer-
ence of Olympian Jove.
The performance given in excellent style.
1t is almost bordering over-criticism to
point to fault at all, but If may be limited
at 1t is that the conception of Signor Zerni is
entirely in the key of Indifference How
ever, his rendering of the beautiful duo won
him we'll deserved applause. Miss LIGHTER is
flower of girlhood as 1t ought to be shown, and
she certainly has studied this congenial role
with dauntless zeal. Nothing more impressive
has ever been shown at the Tivoll than the ia
nous balcony scene Miss LIGHTER has very
mobile features. This is the perfection of real
art, where it Is not always the voice alone and
where acting has it's due weight and it's proper

inferred atmosphere which by great
stretch of the imagination recalled the aureole
of the painter.
The breezy Mr. Pruette helped very much
to make this opera a success. Would that

WANT TO GO HOME.
Soldiers of the Seventh Do Not
Want to Remain in the
Service

1t being almost a certainty that or
ders have been received here at depart
ment headquarters for the retaining in
the service. of the Seventh Regiment, the
men of the organization have given ex-
preston to their feelings in the matter
They want to be mustered out. At least
50 per cent of them declare themselves as
anxious to leave the service
When 1t became known yesterday that
there was possibility that the regiment
would not be mustered out, several of
the companies held meetings and ap-
pointed committees, who were instructed
TO invoke the influence of their friends
and the press in having the regiment got
ten out of the service as soon as posi-
Bile. The men declare that they do not
want to do garrison duty, and. they bring
up the charge against their officers that
they have been working on General Mer-
Ram since his return to have the regi-
ment retained simply because they want
TO continue to draw the salaries that
they are getting now. Company was
one of the companies. that appointed a
committee, and the members of it de-
clare that positively so per cent of the
men want to get home and out Of the
service at once. They say that even If
they are the first to be sent to Manila
they still desire to leave the service.
They intend to use every influence in
their power to be mustered out If 1t should
happen that orders have been received to
retain the regiment in service.

OUT FOR A LARK.
Jennie Wallace Arrested for Mas
uueradinp in a Soldiers Uniform

Jennie Wallace, handsome young
woman, was arrested by officer Sylvester
at an early hour yesterday morning while
entering 211 O'Farrell street, for masquer-
aiding in male attire
Jennie is a friend of some Of the Ten
nessee soldiers, and several of them
called on her Sunday night. For a lark
she was induced to don the uniform of
Private E. M. Higgins of Company A.
and, accompanied by three soldiers, she
went to q restaurant on Eddy street to
have supper, Higgins being left behind,
as he did not care to rig himself out in
Jennie's clothes.
They were returning from supper when
Sylvester thought there was something
unusual in Jennie's carriage for a man,
and as they were entering the house he
stopped them and Jennie admitted her
sex. She was at once placed under ar
rest
Friends brought her clothes to the pris-
on yesterday morning and Higgins uni
form was placed in charge of the prop
erty clerk. When the case was called in
Judge Lows court Higgins predicament
was explained to the Judge, and he made
an order on the property clerk for the
delivery of the uniform to Higgins COM
panions, and continued the hearing of the
charge against Jennie until this morn

ARMY SUPPLY DEPOT.
The Largest West OF Phila-
delphia Is Likely to Be
Established Here.


There are bright prospects that San
Francisco will have the largest depot for
army supplies west of Philadelphia. The
quarters for supplies have already been
5welled by the addition of the old Ex-
Aminer building on Mission street This
was secured for the purpose of storing
the arms, equipments, etc, released by
the Sixth and Seventh California regi-
ments when mustered out.
Colonel Long, speaking of the matter at
the quartermaster's department yester.
Jay. said: II have no doubt that the
large increase TO be made In. the forces
now stationed at various points in the
Pacific will cause corresponding In
crease in the capacity. of the army store
houses in It's city. 1t is very probable
that the department has under contem-
plation the establishing of a very large
aepot for supplies In San Francisco. Thus
tar ! have received nothing official in the
matter"
1t has been said that the building now
occupied by Wells, Fargo & Co. will be
utilized as soon as the company moves
10 their new location.

standard. OF the four acts there is not
weak in the lot The clever little comedy

and Mrs. r. ]. Dustan, and all the parts were
ably handled. AS the Irish servant girl Miss
Maggie Weston was exceedingly funny, in fact
her 1rishisms and mishaps tended to divert
attention from the more delicate comedy work
of Mr.. and Mrs Dustin, who In their way may
be classed among the best that have appeared
on the Orpheum stage. Lew Hawkins was
favortte from the start. He returns with lot
of new material which he delivers in catching
style

Nicaraguan Canal CONGRESS.

Since the proposition to hold Nicara-
guam canal congress was first suggested
the greatest of interest has been mani
fest by people from all parts of the coun-
try. This congress is to be held in Chi
cago on November Is, 16 and II. It's pur-
pose is to secure favorable legislation for
the big waterway between the two oceans
and for its construction, operation and
control by the United States The call
for this meeting was made by a combine
ton of the Chicago and San Diego Cham
bers OF Commerce and the American
Nicaraguan Canal Association. Invita-
tons were sent to the President of the
United States. and State, county and mu-
nicipal officers, and to the presidents of
all commercial bodies, to send representa-
tives. None of these bodies have been
more interested in the project than the
local Chamber of Commerce. Now comes
Santa Barbara, one of It's influential citi-
zens writing to Secretary Scott that the
people of that county are becoming in
terested and desire to be represented in
the coming meeting in Chicago
