10 take from the various regiments their
hospital supplies provided by states and
friends and concentrate them In the d.

by the regiments. Representative Fitz-
gerald Of Massachusetts called the atten-

affairs and General Graham summoned
Col Girard before him for explanation.
Coz. Glrard maintained that he had acted
strictly In accordance with army regula-
tions and said that II they were enforced

have an investigation made. and a COM
mlttee was appointed for the purpose. The
chief surgeon will permit subordinates 70

report. A circular was issued to the head
surgeons stating that two cots might be
retained in each regimental hospital and
other articles would be supplied from the
division hospital when necessary II prac-
ti1able This Is not satisfactory TO the
various regiments, who hope TO see the
division hospital abolished.

for an official bulletin today at the navy

hottling up the Spanish squadron with the
hulk of the Merrimac,
with frankness ana candor peculiar
to the man, Admiral Sampson withheld no
credit from Hobson for either the eNecu'
ton or the projection OF the well worked
out scheme to which the constructor was
entitled, and he has cleared away some
clouds Of dissatisfaction that had shown
Itself among few line officers because of
the selection of a stan officer in the per-
son Of hobson to conduct the desperate
enterprise,
Reference was made In SIMPSONS state
ment TO 1.-THE inspiring letter OF Secretary
Long as a basis for the request for Hob
sons promotion, With the consent of Sec
retary Long the particular passage in the
letter to which Admiral Sampson referred
Is now made public. It reads;
each man engaged in the work of the
inshoro squadron should have in him the
stun of which to make a possible Cush-
ing; and II the man wins, the recognl.
tlon given him shall be as great as that
given to Gushing, so far as the depart
ment can bring It about.

LAUGH AT BOWEN INCIDENT.

Washington, June 1.-THE state depart

at that report coming from Europe that
formal claim against the United States
government based on an alleged attack
by United States Consul Bowen, lately
stationed at Barcelona, on a couple OF
French walters named Puig. The assault
is reported to have been made by Mr..
Bowen while he was acting under the
belief that they were Spaniards attempt
ing his lie. The opinion here is that II
the matter was as reported it might be
proper case for a police court magis-
trate Such proceedings, OF course, would
come to nothing in the absence OF Mr..
Bowen from Barcelona.

STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.
The Agricultural Society Clears Six
Thousand on the Enterprise.

A statement has been made showing
that the State Agricultural Society has
reduced it's Indebtedness by about $1,000.
This lessening of the society's liabilities
is due to the skillful management Of
those who arranged in detail the State
Fair recently held at Sacramento, and is
highly gratifying to those concerned.
Secretary Edwin F. Smith of the assoc
citation is among those who are jubilant
over the fact that the last racing meet
was crowned with success instead of fall
ure. He said
ut was matter of surprise to US all
when we found that instead of increasing
our debt we had lessened 1t by the fair.
From SIS, 900 we have dropped the debt to
about 81 900, that is, In round numbers.
In consideration of the hard times we
proposed the curtal4.ng of all expenses,
and to the economical expenditure of
money we attribute our profits. The re-
duction in expenses amounted to $780, and
we fell short about an equal amount on
our gate receipts Our privileges yield
ed us $4,000 or $1,000 clear coin, and the re-
duction of entry lists saved us some
thing more"

Seventh District and Major c. w. Kyle

date for Congress, and a most favorable
impression he made. He discussed fairly
and freely the questions at issue in this
campaign, and uttered no word of abuse
Of his opponent.
IF elected to represent the Seventh Dis
trict,' said he, II will favor the fore
closure of the railroad debts If the road
does not make good its compact"
He defined clearly his position on the
tariff and money questions, and advocated
the immediate construction of the Mica
ragua canal. His mention of President
Mckinley brought forth tumultuous ap-
plauSe.
Major c. w. Kyle's speech was warmly
Kyle kept the large audience in good
humor during the entire evening.

Special Dispatch to The Call

JACKSON, Oct IA large Demo
cratic meeting was held here tonight.
Webb Hall, seating over 600, was
crowded to it's utmost capacity and an
equally large gathering assembled in
the street and was addressed by dis
tinguished speakers. BESIDES Judge Ma
guire there were present Congressman
de Vries, H. NJ. Larue. Thomas Scott,
E. L. Hutchinson. Robert Ferral and S,
K. Burkham of Mono, candidate for
State Senator
Congressman A. Caminetti. the
chairman, made a lengthy speech,
praising the Democratic State ticket
and contending that the nominees were
free from railroad influence and were
opposed by the Southern Pacific, while
the railroad company was doing its ut
most TO elect the Republican ticket
He introduced Mcguire as a former
farmer, pointing to a pillow placed on
the stage, as a former blacksmith
whose emblem, an anvil, also was on
the stage. and lastly, as the next Gov
ernor of California.
Mcguire was received with rouSing
cheers. He said he was unable to ad-
dress the meeting at length, as his
ing, and he had to address also the
overflow meeting outside. He said the
reason why his voice had suffered per-
haps more than that of his opponent
was that he did a good deal of his own
talking, While the Republican candi-
date for Governor was wearing out the
threats of railroad attorneys who were
talking for him.
He said the issue in California was
the one handed down from the days OF
Jefferson-"equal rights for all, special
privileges for none" The Democratic
party was on the side of popular
rights. The Republican party was in
favor of the allied monopolies. What
ever Gage might be individually as re-
CARDS the railroad company, it was a
notable fact that he was travelling in
company with we'll known attorneys OF
the Southern Pacific. In the south he
was accompanied by Barnes, leading
attorney of the company; in other parts
of the State by Judge Carpenter, a po-
litical manager for the railroad, and in
the mountains by j. c. Campbell. an
other well known lawyer of the corpor-
alton
