OnerOus Duties.
When eX-Postmaster General Gary re-
turned TO the Post Office Department yes
-ts-=day he found his desk covered with
flowers. the remembrance of some of the
clerks. To reporter OF Tire Star he said
he was glad to get away from the onerous
duties of the office. He had never worked
so hard in his life. and 1t was his purpose
now to get a good long rest As for the
future. why. that would take care of itself.
He did not intend to sever all his business
connections. His own business was in good
hands His son was conducting it even
better than he could. He was thinking
seriously of going abroad. Some time ago
he made preparations for such a trip. but
the campaign came on and he was so much
interested in the success of MIR. Nc ckinley
that he stayed and fought for the party.
The published rumors of a disagreement
between the executive and himself were
false. He desired to reiterate that his sew
erance from the cabinet the result of
his poor health. and nothing else The dG-
ties of the Postmaster General are al their
best hard and onerous The first few
months of a new administratio made the
work very much harder. The incoming
head of the Post Office Department would
find the office in good shape. A large ma
jority of the knotty problems of post Office
appointments had been settled, and every
thing was working smoothly.
During the conversation the general sub
ject of abinet changes was being discussed.
when the reporter called attention to the
statement that other members of the cab
met would shortly resign
Where did you hear that?" queried Mr..
Gary full of interest. ''Oh we'll il doesn't
matter he said, as the reporter hesitated.
That is cabinet matter and L cannot
discuss it,"

from the Army AMI Navy Journal.
1t is matter of national pride that such
a satisfactory showing has followed the
war excitement as to center the attention
OF the world upon the fact of the enormous
resources of this country. One thing ~
surely accomplished convincing OF
ether nations Of our great power in pro-
ducing everything needed in the event OF
hcstiiitics being prolonged. Not only are the
Spanish army ana navy now eating our
flour. but We can feed several other ma
tions al the same time.
All of the material as We'll as the
supplies for our army and navy are pro-
duccd here. and ny citizens whose patriot
ism is we'll known. Our armor plate is the
best in the world. and Russia is 50 far con-
ViI.ced of this fact that she has recently
placed an order with American manufac-
turers for a quantity sufficient for two bat
tieships. Japan is also buying The armor-
piercing and deck piercing shot and shells
made here are not equaled the face OF
the globe. Other countries understand this
and purchase literally. Our dynamite guns
are so far ahead OF the rest of the world
that they practically stand alone Ask the
struggling Cubans about the destructive
ness of these guns. The automobile tor
pedoes made in the United States after the
whitehead pattern are SO much more ef-
fectiVe than the original that the English
and Austrian manufacturers are desDond-
ent. Our dirigible torpedoes eclipse every
being
sought after by foreigners
everything Is produced here Nothing is
lacking, from hard tack to thirteen-inch
guns and from armor-piercing shells to a
simple lanyard and the great credit is due
10 American genius and enterprise and cap
tal, which should be patronized in prefer
ence to all others.
While this government has been. of late.
ouying vessels for the navy to meet an
emergency, nobody questions our ability
to build warships as good as the best Our
shipyards are well equipped to turn out
Iast and powerful fighting ships And
whiie we are congratulating ourselves on

GERMANS TN LINE.
San Francisco SchuetZen Vepein Rifles to Offer
 Their Services.

The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein will hold an important meeting at Califor- mia Hall, 620 Bush street, on Friday even ing next. This organization has 1l5 uni- formed men, armed with the best and latest improved rifles. 1t is the sense of the body, 1t is said, that they offer them selves to the Governor for active service as a. home guard. The question is to be decided by a resolution, which is expected to pass at this meeting. This Is the oldest German military organization on the coast When Lincoln was aSSaSSinated the mem bers took up their arms and went on duty in the streets of this city to assist in pre- serving order and preventing bloodshed When it was decided that no foreign flags should be carried in procession, by order of the Governor, the San Francisco vereins dropped their beloved German flag for the stars and stripes, and Cali fornia flag, to which their allegiance was pledged. Hence they claim to be as loyal to Uncle Sam as any troops in America
 As the organization is composed or men whose heads are crowned with locks Of gray, they would not be accepted as vol unteers in the regular service. Realizing this they hope to take the place of the younger men who have enlisted under the call for troops from this State. Though old in years, they still feel able to defend the homes of those brave men who have departed for more active fields.
 The company is composed of some of the wealthiest and most influential Germans Their captain is John F. Bolts, who has been elected to the position for the eleventh time He Is heart and soul in tha movement.

 Whereas.

Upon their re- furn we will extend to them all the kind ness that is in our power, and, further, that this resolution be spread upon the minutes and a copy be sent to the press:
 The California Commandery of the Loyal Legion will give a reception at the Presidio Club next Saturday afternoon pe- tween the hours of 1:30 and 4:30 to the volunteer officers and the officers of the Fourteen United States Infantry en- camped on the reservation. There will be music and refreshments. The Companions of the Loyal Legion conduct the function. using the Presidio Club rooms through the courtesy of the officers of the garrison, as it would be inconvenient for those to whom the reception is rendered to come to the Occidental Hotel.
 Captain F. de l.. Darlington, mastering officer of the California United States Volunteers, has finished his work in the field and established headquarters at the California Hotel. The mastering in of fifty men to-day will complete the full quota called for from this State.

THE "HEAVIES"
 NOW AT WORK.
They Have Taken Pos session of the Old
 WOOIen Mill.

The battalion of heavy artillery which has been Quartered at the old First Reg fment armory ever since the battery rolls were opened there for volunteers, was astir bright and early yesterday morn ing, for the order had come to proceed to the new quarters at Fort Mason, where the battalion will remain until the Gov ernment can equip 1t properly.
 The men had nearly all been provided with blankets, and these slung over the shoulder fin military fashion, besides the few uniforms brought along with the men of the Sacramento cavalry troop when they took service as heavy artil- 1ery, were the only claims to military dis tinction which the battalion could boast
 It was 10 o'clock before the batteries were started but the men soon dropped into step and marched steadily up Van Ness avenue, winning cheers of encour- agement as they went along. They were all assigned to places in the Fontana warehouse before the call for dinner came, and before the afternoon had gone the men had had their first drill and had all been sized by their battery com manders, and the temporary non-commis- stoned officers had been chosen.
 The building in which the troops are quartered is the old woolen mill, which lately has been used as warehouse for Fontana, the commission merchant; It is large, clean, airy and well lighted, and there is ample room for the 600 men who make up the batteries. Three floors have been given over to the bat teries, and the business of the warehouse has all been confined to the lower floor. On the second floor are Captain Denis Geary and his battery, A; also Captain John Cooke and Battery C. On the third floor are Captain Theodore Hay and Battery B, and Captain Henry Steere and Battery D. On the fourth floor are the cooking outfits and the mess tables. The adjutant, Captain John Kos ter, has a room by the entrance, and just across the hall is a room for Major Rice, commander of the battalion.
 The men are still being fed by a caterer, but it is expected that as soon as the or ganization gets into shape the caterer will be let go and battery cooks will be de- tailed from the ranks and the men will have a taste of field cooking.
 The quarters have been given over to the battalion rent free, and in addition MT. Fontana has notified Major Rice that he can have any loose wood lying around for cooking and camp fire purposes, and
