San Francisco, Aug. 22.--Three hum
dred and twenty-five officers and men
OF the New York regiment embarked
on board the steamship Alliance this
morning and will sail for Honolulu to-
day. The ladies OF the Red Cross So
ciety furnished the men with lnpcheOn

which is very staneh little vessel, but
entirely unsuited for the transportation
of so many men. Merriam stated to-
day that the Scandia and Arizona will
probably call some time Tuesday fore

In addition to theiy troopa. she two
transports will carry 1000, 900 rounds
ofamhunition for the Philippine iorces.
1t is now on the way from the East,
and although the railroad company IL
hurrying 1t westward, II will not be
possible to get it all aboard the two
vessels. The troops will embark in
the afternoon, and tho transports will
then anchor In the stream until their
departure.

Washington. Aug. a2.-The war dc.

London, Aug. 9.--The Manila cor
respondent Of the Daily Telegraph. in a
dispatch dated Sunday, says: Cen
eral Merritt has proclaimed a govern
ment Of military occupation. The
news OF the armistice arrived on the
10th. 1t is feared that the Americans
may restore the Philippines to Spain
and thus reinaugurate fresh period Of
tyranny, extortion and rebellion.
The Americans found $500 in the
Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise Of
the action Of the American commander
in excluding armed rebels from the
city. 1t is believed his frmness saved
Manila from pillaee. A week ago
there appeared to be a possibility of
collision with the rebels, but there is
no danger now. Everything is quiet.

MusTER-oUT TO BEGIN.
Corbin viii Send From 10000 to ZOE,
900 voiuntecrs Home.

New York, Aug. 20. "A special dis.
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says; Adjutant-GenoraI Oorbin said In
an interview that he was going To mus
ter ont between 10000 and 100, 900 vol
unteers as soon as practicable. The
selection OF the regiments will not be
made arbitrarily, hut having in mind,
first Of oil, the reports Of the regular
army officers now with the volunteers.
The highest consideration will be given
the wishes OF governors, as we'll as Of
the regiments themselves. The inter-
ests Of the. national government demand
the disbandment Of troops secured un-
der the second call in certain instances,
and in other cases regiments raised un-
dor the first call. which have had SER
vice and which have been materially
reduced In efficiency through sickness,
will be the first to 60.
1t will not be feasible to issue gem
eral order or to prepare q complete list
covering all the forces to be mustered
out for some time to come. On the
contrary, as soon as an agreement Is
reached regarding any particular regi-
ment, 1t will be Immediately sent to
the state camp, and as soon as its prop
erty can be turned over to the govern
ment and its accounts settled, the indi-
vidual records Of its officers and men
win be completed and they will be dis
charged from service under the United
States.
The only mastering out orders issued
up to the present time relate TO the
First Vermont infantry.
Il was originally proposed that the
regiments organized under the second
call which had not left their Estates
should be Immediately disbanded, and
this plan will probably be followed out
with very few exceptions.

Money at Eureka.

The Carson News of Tuesday, refer
ring to Governor Sadler's return to
Carson, takes occasion to remark that
.'the old town of Eureka Is brighten
ing up and the people there seem to
have little money" That is about
correct, but not sufficiently SO. The
enterprise and exciting activity of the
early days has of course long since sub
sided, but it has been succeeded by
more calm and reasonable methods,
and which are characterized by con-
servatism that means much more to
the ultimate general good and develop
ment of our resources than the wild
and fanciful schemes of our infancy.
We have ever been thoroughly con-
WINGED of the real value of our mines
and have never lost hope, but are con-
fident of success. AS for our people
here having "a little money, why
we've got dead loads of 1t, and our
taxes are fully paid, almost to the last
dollar.

Governor Sadler has redeemed the
reputation of the State by offering ro-
ward OF $500, the maximum under the
law, for the arrest and conviction OF
the lynchers of Adam Uber at Genoa.
The action Of these men was anarchy
pure and simple, defiance of law and
order without the shadow of an excuse.
But their crime against the community
was little worse than that Of the county
officials who through cowardice or SYM
patty for the lynchers, have failed to
make a move toward the apprehension
of the guilty parties, oven though, as
l. Is claimed, their names are known to
every school boy in Charlottesville and
Genna. This action on the part of the
Governor has the approval Of every
law abiding citizen OF the State and we
hope to seeit followed up by vigorous
action on the part of Judge Mack and
a fair minded jury not alone against the
lynchers but also against the Sheriff

Henry MiIIer's Kingdom.

Forty years ago two Germans formed
a partnership in San Francisco and be-
gan to buy land and raise cattle. To-
day the firm of Miller & Lux owns IA, :
$50, $50 acres of land In the three States
of California, Nevada and Oregon. One
of their ranches is ninety miles long
and sixty miles wide. In fact, these
are not ranches at all. They are more
than baronies, greater than principal
tiles. They are kingdoms. The sur
viving partner of this firm rules over
twice as much soil as the king Of Bel
GUM, and over as much soil as the king
of Bavaria. His holdings are larger by
third than the kingdom Of Denmark;
are four times as large as Alsace-Lor-
raine, over which two great peoples
have fought tremendous wars; are half
as large as England; are nearly twice
as large as the Netherlands; and are
one fourth larger than the ancient re-
public of Switzerland. In round fg-
ures the holdings owned by Miller &
Lux are over four times as large as the
State of Connecticut. They nearly equal
in area the combined States of Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire.
There are many men who viii see In
these statements only food for renewed
admiration Of Henry Miller's enormous
acquisitive activity. But as for us we
zee In them the ultimate explanation Of
much, II not all, the miseries of the
poor, and see In them, also, the crying
need OF legislation which shall make Il
impossible for one man to hold SO

thousands walk the highways without

Lake Tahoe, including the headwaters
of the American river, the Consumes
and the upper Truckee river, should
be set aside as forest reserves. We be-

Of enough timber to supply all the
needs Of that part Of the country which
draws it's lumber from these forests but
