The principa1 State of the Golden West is greatly admired in Washing ton for it's prompt and vigorous or ganization of troops for war.
 California has done nobly in the work of offering troops and getting them in shape without delay or com plaint. Adjutant-General Corbin realizes this fact and greatly appre- ciates the patriotism and business methods of the Californians. He said in an interview yesterday: "California is the only State from which no complaint about quota or distribution has come. Other States have been heard from by letter and wire, and all but California have made this and that objection. This State has gone on nobly, organizing and getting in shape without delay or interruption"
 The dispatch from Crowninshield, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, has caused considerable excitement in the naval mili- tia circles. As published in The Call, the dispatch was one to General Barrett, stat ing that the Navy Department hoped to CeLa1t ILe naNdl ulIIllId TUT cruisers in the near future. It was the subject of much discussion and specula- ton aboard the Marion yesterday, and the general opinion seems to be that the sailor boys may see some service in the near future, in fact, that they may have to move before the National Guard.
 While there has been no official confirm alton of the fact, for those in authority have refused to discuss the matter, yet it
 s generally admitted in military circles that the First and Seventh Infantry will be the two twelve-company regiments that will be the first to be mustered into the United States service.

There IS no doubt but the regiments will be mus tered in as whole.
 The absence Of Governor Budd from headquarters yesterday had the effect of causing a lull in the local military cir cles. and making the day a dull one. The Governor went to Stockton on Saturday afternoon and did not return until late quarters during the forenoon, but closed .he office for the evening, and 1t was not opened again until late last night. whenhe returned for a short while to see if there was anything that needed his attention.
 (,oyei nor Budd was in communication with aeadquarters during the early part of the day, and was kept informed by Genera; Barrett as to the situation. The Governor took this precaution in case anvtl.ing should have arisen calling for his action. The morning mail brought the adjutant general and Captain Car rington a large amount of mail and dis matches. but they stated that these con- tained nothing of nature for publica- tion.
 'vllird Brigade, was at headquarters in the morning. as was Lieutenant Cloman of inc Fifteenth United States Infantry, and Maio Mccarthy of the FirstInfantry San- itary Corps. Colonel Burgin, of the Gov ernor's staff, was also on duty.
 Lieutenant Cloman was closeted for a while with Captain Darlington upon the receipt by the latter of a dispatch from D. C., but would make no statement regarding the nature of the
