WILL COST PARIS
 FIFTY MILLIONS A YEAR,
If the Boycott on French Fashions is Carried Out Their Work
 men Will Suffer.

NEW YORK, May 14.-A dispatch from Paris says: Henri Rochefort sug- gests in the Intransigeant that Spain and Italy become republics and join the French republic in forming a tri- pie Latin republican alliance to offset a probable Anglo-American and Ger man alliance.
 Referring to the American proposi- ton to boycott the Paris fashions Yves Guiotte's paper, the Aurore, expresses indignation at the insults printed in the French boulevard papers to American women. It says it will cost the Paris workmen and workwomen $50, 900, 900 a year.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-15

The news that the department was considering the calling out of the naval militia of California caused the greatest enthusiasm in the organization. A dis patch from Washington yesterday morning said that the naval reserves of this State might be ordered to duty at Manila, and immediately the news spread like wildfire, for the naval mili- tia had been waiting with a varying amount of patience for just such tid- ings. Should the call come the response will be prompt, and within seventy hours the whole force could be as- sembled in this city on board the Ma rion.
 There are seven divisions in the re- serve of this State, six of which are composed of seamen and one forming an engineer corps. TWo-the First and Second-are located in this city; the Third is at San Diego; the Fourth at Santa Cruz; the Fifth at Eureka, and the Sixth at Santa Barbara The en- gineer division is divided between San Francisco and San Diego, where the Pinta is assigned for duty.
 When war was declared Captain Turner, the commanding officer, was in Alaska on business, but as soon as he
  ment an offer of the California reserves for service anywhere and on any ship the Government chose to assign them. He asked that the organization be kept intact as far as possible, but 1T the Government did not care to take it in that way to take 1t on any terms agreeable to the department. An offer was made to allow the Government to draw on the organization for any num- Der of men and any number of officers, they to be assigned col lectively or individually to any ship in any part of the world.
 As the offer was plain and simple in it's terms there was nothing further to do or say, and since then word has been anxiously awaited by men and officers.
 The reserve can put 800 men in serv~ ice any time it Is called upon, allowing for those who may be rejected by the medical examiners. They are all more or less familiar with ship duty, and the older members are well up in most of the drills and duties of the navy. The officers, too, have been working hard on the theoretical part of their duties, and a few weeks at sea will put them in the way of becoming com- potent to put the theory into practice
 The naval militia is peculiarly adapt ed to such service as will be demand ed of those who go to Manila, for they have had practice on sea and on land, and they have field guns which would be most efficient in putting down any disturbing element.
 The artillery of the reserve consists of five one-pounder rapid-fire Hotch- kiss guns and three three-inch field howitzers. They have in addition to these three gatlings, one of which is of the latest and deadliest pattern. There is also a sixty pounder Parrott breech- loading rife on the forecastIe on the Marion which might be made to do good service. In addition there are rifles enough to arm nearly 300 men, all late model Lee magazine navy guns, and all the men will need in any quantity will be clothing.

Hahn and Coutz had carried Hamlin
into the boiler house and were nuttine

said he was at work near the Mace
throwing switches but did not see any
of the affair. Both Coutz and Tafe
stated that Hamlin had said nothing
to them about the matter.
John KuntZ, the other bow. who was
with Hamlin when he was hurt. gave
his testimony which was practically
the same as that Of young Kearns. He
said that Hamlin Kearns and himself
were sitting on a board at the lower
end of the boiler house when they saw
Hahn come up, and without saving a
word, pick up a stone and throw at
them. He with the others started to
run and after going a short distance
turned and saw Hamlin lying on the
ground. almost where he had been sit
ting. Rube Crosby and Joseph Boehr
were called but knew nothing about
the case
Officer Brannen testified that he was
coming up the road and saw the
Kearns boy running and saw also a
stone strike the ground at his heels.
He afterwards saw Hahn helping to
carry Hamlin to the hospital. He was
at the hospital for a few minutes and
came down the stairs with Hahn He
questioned Hahn about the matter and
mann responded ne ulu not KNOW now
Hamlin had been hurt He suspected
that Hahn was responsible and went
back to the steel works where he
picked up the stone which he saw
thrown at Kearns. He asked Stidger
Coutz who had hurt HamIin and Coutz
replied he did not know He insisted
that Coutz did know and COutz's sec
ond reply was that Hahn had hit Ham
lin. Officer Geary was called and testi-
fed about the same as Brannen.

Trick 3-South leads the club three,
west follows with the club five, north
wins with the club king, and east fol-

Trick NORTH must now stop the
trump lead, as he holds the advantage
over vests trumps. And he must try
to get his partner in the lead in case
he has heart strength. Hence, leads
the diamond ten. east follows with
the diamond three, south holds the
trick with the diamond king. and west
follows with the diamond six.
Trick South leads the heart jack,
showing great strength; west follows
with the heart three, north discards
the diamond two, east wins with the
heart ace. North must not trump this
round, but permit the jack to win, or
force the ace to establish the suit.
Trick east must now do little
Independent calculation, and run some
risk, as he can read north with at
least three spades, or four, the discon-
tinuation of the trump is evident,
too, and should west hold spade queen
alone, to lead the ace would be loss
of trick to them. So he underleads
the spade with the eight. South
throws the diamond seven, the COM

Trick West is obliged to lead the
diamond queen, north plays the dla-

From another quarter come such eX-
pressions as the following, as a verlh-
cation of our rejOicings: The reaction
against the use OF purely arbitrary
conventions, explained or unexplained,
is spreading in all parts OF the country.
There is decided opposition to the ten
dency to complicate the game, and the
result cannot fail to be highly bench
cial We hope the time is not far DIS
tant when good players, even though
utter strangers, will be able to SIT
down and play an intelligent game.
Now, however, when Brown OF 81.
Louis, and Smith of Philadelphia, are
introduced and asked to play as part
ners, they find it necessary to retire
for private conference in regard to sys-
TENS and signals. They find one uses
the rotary discord; the other doesn t.
One leads the ten from king, jack, ten;
the other fourth best. One leads the
queen from queen, jack, ten, the other
the ten. One signals to show three
trumps; the other signals to show
three or more, and then echoes TO show
four or more One leads the ace OF a
suit, and when he follows with card
in another suit the second lead is a
singleton. The other replies that when
he leads q low card, he shows an all
around strong hand and invites a
trump lead. The one doesn't like the
invitation game, but plays the top OF

to ask for a trump lead through an
honor turned; the man from st. Louis
never does. And so the conversation
goes on, and unless they are called to
take their places it may run on for
hours.
One lesson hand points to the neces-
sity of calculating upon the relation

spade suit shows south that the cards
are distributed in suits of five or more,
at least in two other hands beside his
own. AS the two and three DO not
fall, west or north is calling The
leader cannot hold both tray and deuce
if his suit is headed by the ace, and as
south is strong in two suits he risks
the chance that his partner is the one
who is strong in trump, knowing, too
that he must be protected in the spade
suit. of which he is short.
North deals and turns the club SIX
