CALIFORNIA RANGERS.
The First Battalion Drilled an d Inspected on Van Ness
 Avenue

The First Battalion of the California Rangers was put through number Of evolutions on Van Ness avenue yesterday afternoon, and considering the fact that they have just been organized, they made a most creditable showing. They are a fine body of men and have been selected for their horsemanship and marksman- ship The four companies are in com mand respectively of Captains Waller. Lewis Lockhart and Ross. After being put through their evolutions they were in spected by General Hart and Colonel George W. Fox.
 The Second Battalion has its headquar- ters at Healdsburg and the Third Bat talion at San Luis Obispo. The regiment could be mustered In for service in five days, and as it has been recommended by the California delegation General Hart expects to receive orders from Washing ton this week to have the regiment in readiness for active service.
 The Rangers will be really mounted rifemen and an effort will be made to have them armed with the Lee rife. They will be serviceable as cavalry, artillery or infantry. Each company will consist of 100 men. Colonel Fox and most of the officers of the regiment have seen service in the civil war.

the two batteries for such men as 1t was intended. Saturday, at the suggestion or Captain Young, the men held meeting. The captain submitted the proposition that the money should be used as a com pany fund and kept for cases of emer- gency, and that such men as were not beneticiaries of the purse under the reso- lution of the committee should at the next two pay days put in their pro rata ia amount and all have an equal share ln the purse. The men. after considering Captain Young's proposal. stated tate that that purse and pay it back out of their money at the next two pay days This Captain Young refused to consider, as he was empowered to disburse the purse as he thought best, and he thought the l.. men 13Il not need, and that the batteries would be without funds when they left here.
 However, he gave each man in his company s, and Captain Grant distrib- uted s2 among his men. There IS no dis satisfaction among the men and they are well fed and have plenty of fresh meat
 This statement is made by The Call at the request of Captains Young and Grant
 who desire that the truth may be known.

SOLDIERS WILL PAY FARE
Why Men at the Presidio De- cline the Union Street
 Roads Offer.

There is not a man in San Francisco so thoroughly enthused over the good work of the Red Cross Society as J. B. Stetson. the millionaire merchant and street railway magnate Day after day he spends many hours at the headquarters at the ferry depot, cheering the ladies, the arriving troops, the bands, and in fact every body and everything. Every time a shout goes up MT. Stetson's voice is pitched above all the others; whenever there is a waving of hats the shining silk tile that adorns the merchants head swings higher and more frantically than the rest.
 And the California street cable road waxes fatter each day on the scanty nickels of the boys in blue.
 Perhaps it is not MT. Stetson's fault that this condition still exists, but it does exist, and the men at the Presidfo, as shown by the following statement, are 10th to accept the generous offer of the Union street line, while its ally reaps all the profit
 street branch of the California street line exchange transfers, and the only way by which the men at the Presidio can reach the center of the cIey is to transfer at Union and Hyde to the California street line.
 The Union street road has issued an or der that all soldiers in uniform shall r1de free but of course 1t does not issue transfers to it's connections. When the men board the Hyde street car they must pay full fare and as they object to that road receiving all the money at the eX- pense of the Unlon street line, they will insist upon paying fare upon that road until the other gives them permission to ride free. When fare is paid and trans fer given each road receives PIP cents The communication calling attention to this condition is as follows:
 Presidio, San Francisco, May 2s
 TO the Editor of The Call-Sfr: On behalf of the enlisted men stationed at this post, regulars and volunteers. l wish to state that while we are profoundly grateful to the Pre- sidio and Ferries Cable Company for having extended to us the privilege Of riding Tree on is cars we feel that under the present condi- tions we would be doing it a great injustice to accept it's offer; Our only means or Teacnlng Market street is by that line to Hyde street and transferring to the California street sys- tenn which lands at O'Farreu and Mar
 At present we are charged full fare on the latter road after riding free on the Union have one company take it all, we shall insist upon paying fare on the Union street cars
 The men in the regular service do not mind this hut it is hard the volunteers who have received no pay yet and in consequence most of them are broke" Those men have nayer seen the objects of interest in San Fran cisco and they could spend their leisure hours in sightseeing were they enabled to get down town but as it is they must either walk or remain close within their quarters.
 Trusting that upon having its attention call ed to this matter the California street company viii follow the example of the Union street line at least so far as the volunteers are con- ceiiieN' '''- F H. MORRELL.

MORAL FORCES ALERT.
The Christian EndeaVOr Union Begins Good Work In
 Camp.

The Christian Endeavorers have found large numbers of their members among the various Eastern regiments of volun- teers now at Camp Richmond. In one of the Kansas companies forty out of the eighty-three men belong to the organiza- ton and have formed Christian En- deavor Society of their own. One of the Minneapolis companies has thirteen young men from one small Baptist church of that city, headed by Sidney Pratt, son of Mayor Pratt of that city.
 The California State Union has seized the opportunity to institute a system of reading and writing rooms in the camp, where the men, regardless of religion, creed or color, may gather to read or write letters home. These tents are fur envelopes to be used free of charge, and keep supply of stamps and postal cards on hand for sale
 General Merritt and General Otis have sanctioned the plan and allowed space in each regiment for the erection of tents. The work is in direct charge of Miss Min dora L. Berry, State superintendent of missions, and she Is ably assisted by a large corps of workers from Golden Gate Christian Endeavor Union. During the day ladies will be in charge of the tents. The tents may also be used at certain times for praise services if a desire is expressed by the men for such at any time
 The general headquarters have been es- tablshed in the tent of the Kansas Regi- ment, but Monday will be transferred to Scott &, McCIoudS warehouse, where the citizens of San Francisco may send all the reading matter they have at hand, and it will be distributed from time to time in the various regiments aS needed. There is a large demand for reading mat ter by the 5000 men now in camp, and it will take large quantities to fill the de- mand.
 The expense of this work will be con- siderable. but the State Union feels that the demand Is one not to be overlooked, and the officers have no doubt but that the local members and societies will give freely to the work. A call will be issued to Miss Berry at 760A Harrison street.
 Mrs. c. s. Wright has issued a call for a mass meeting of Christian mothers, to be held in the Endeavor headquarters Tuesday at D. m., to assist the young people in their good work. The older vited to attend and see the need and ap- preciation of the soldier boys for all of the efforts being put forth in their behalf by the citizens of California
 One of the surprising features of the big army camp being established in the supply the demands for cheap editions of the New Testament The demand has been simply enormous Not only in the city, but from all over the State orders are pouring in from dealers who have numerous calls which they cannot supply At present it is said there are none to be had in San Francisco.
 The greater demand for these Testa- ments comes from the makers of the com fort bags, as each of these has a Testa- ment along with the other useful articles and the cheap edition is desired, as they any pocket without the least inconveni- ence.

The yellow journal is at 1t again. After publishing a blood-curdling fake on Sat urday morning regarding the poisoning of men in the First Nebraska Regiment, yesterday 1t published an article regard ing the distribution of a company fund in the Light Utah Battalion In which the facts were so distorted that the officers and men of the battery are placed in the position of being at loggerheads over the division of the company fund, the men mutinous, i'll treated and half starved, and the officers painted as unsympa- thetic and merciless autocrats.
 The facts in the case are as follows:
 The battalion left Salt Lake City with purse of $500 raised by a committee for the benefit of the men enlisted from that city and county. Captains Young and Grant were empowered by the committee to distribute the money equally among

A COLORADO KICK.
Yellow Journalism Gets That Regiment Mixed Up With
 the MinnesOtanS.

The Editor of The Call: The Examiner of Saturday morning stated that the Min nesota Regiment would give a dress pa rade that evening, the first ceremony or the kind to be held in camp. This morn ing it said 'the dress parade or the Min nesota Regiment was the feature of the day" and highly praised the appearance of the troops and execution of the move ments and manual. The above state ments are correct and very satisfactory except that the word Colorado" should be substituted for Minnesota" and 1t should be explained that instead or be- be- ing the first parade in camp 1t was merely the regular parade given daily by the Colorado Regiment since it's arrival.
 We are here for work, and not especi- ally seeking newspaper notoriety, but as the Examiner saw fit to speak in such complimentary terms of our parade we would like to have the above correction made as a matter or justice ana lllloi- nation to the public.
