Health poor and men DESTROYS of dis
charge. Many deserving men in each

on many in the other. Have heretofore
requested muSter-out of volunteers in
excess Of this States just proportion. on
basis 100000. This by battalion or in
dvidual discharges. reducing the COM
pany strength from log to 81 enlisted
men. Muster out of entire regiment Is
in excess and at variance with my origi-
nal request. In view of prevailing sick
ness and general desire of men in regi-
ments to be returned home, cannot con-
sistently designate one to the exclusion
of the other. Must adhere to my origi
nal request, which would relieve many
especially worthy in both regiments.
Understand similar action has been
taken with Delaware and Florida troops
Have also requested transfer of men of
Second Regiment who desire to continue
in service. If entire regiment is mustered
out, must leave designation to your
direction. Letter mailed conveying views

DRAFT OF STATE TICKET
FIXED UP TO SUIT THE TASTE OF
SECRETARY BROWN
A Cheap Little Technicality Worked
for What There Is in It to
Maguire's Disadvantage

SACRAMENTO, Oct. S.-Secretary of
State Brown this afternoon completed the
official draft of the state ticket to be voted
In November. The names of the candi-
dates on the ticket are arranged elphabet-
ically and this places Gage at the head.
Mcguire comes third and is described as
the Peoples party, Democratic and Silver
Republican nominee. An effort was made
to have this arrangement changed so that
Maguires party designations would begin
with Democratic. +. n. Wardell, chair
man of the Peoples party state cenxal
committee. commended that party designa-
tons should proceed in the order III which
nominations were filed with the secretary
of state, and said that the filing of Ma
CURES Peoples party nomination had been
purposely held back so that the Democratic
would get in first. The secretary of state
contended that he placed party designa-
tons on the ticket in the order in which the
nominations were received, without regard
to the time of filing. Mcguire was first
nominated by the Populsts and late on
by the Democrats, hence the arrangement
on the ballot.

JAPANESE TRADERS
Look to Los Angeles as Promising
Market

SEATTLE, Oct. ga copy of the Japan
Kokumin received here contains an inter-
view with Mr.. Hoshi, formerly Minister to
the United States. in which the latter
says:
1T is but natural that our trade with
China has been suffering In consequence
of the change of the currency system. A
gold standard cannot help being in a dis
advantageous position, so far as the ex-
port trade to silver standard countries is
concerned. Hence the best markets for
our commodities must be sought on the
American continent. The existing means of
communication between America and ia
pan are far from being equal to the re-
requirements of the two countries"
Mr. Hoski favors opening a new door
to Japan's commerce at Los Angeles or
San Diego. to find way for Japanese
commodities to the southeastern part of
the United States. and to stimulate trade
with Central and South America
