Of Governor Cages Staff.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1o.-The

form, and the gathering was a brilliant
one.
General Seamans first addressed the
company officers, explaining that the
members of the Governors staff desired
to show a mark of respect to the visi-
tors, and had gathered together for
this farewell reception.
THE California people were the last
to bid farewell to the gallant soldiers
of Oregon when they sailed away" said
General Seamans, hence it is entirely
proper that California should be the
first to greet them on their return from
the glories of war We have been
pleased and glad to greet you, and if
we have done anything to contribute to
the pleasure of your visit here we are
most glad
Governor Geer responded, saying that
he wished to thank the people of Cali
fornia for their kind treatment and
courtesy. 1T has been a wonderful re-
ception,' said the Governor, land we
thank you all for the many courtesies
We have received
Colonel Spencer, Judge Advocate
General on the Oregon staff, made the
concluding speech, saying: "On behalf
of the Governor and his staff, I desire
to say that we have been wonderfully
impressed by our reception here but
the greeting you have given our boys
is something that we can never forget.
We thank the people and the mem
bers of the Governors staff for their
kindness and courtesy"
The singing of Aud Lang Syne"

STEPHEN M. WHITE.
A Boom Being Worked Up for His
Nomination for President,

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Robert P.
Troy, formerly of San Francisco, and
more recently of Washington. D. c.,
arrived from the East this morning
over the Santa Fe. Mr. Troy was a
few years ago one of the best known
Democrats in the State, and Secretary
of the Democratic Central Committee.
He is working up boom for Senator
Stephen M. White for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. He said:
The Senator could, in my opinion, cas-
lily secure the Democratic Presidential
nomination. He is looked upon in the
East as one of the National leaders of
the party, and perhaps the single man
who could give William J. Bryan any
serious trouble in next years National
convention"

DISPUTE OVER A DEAD BODY.
Los Angeles Coroner Negligent in
His Duties.

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Justice
Morgan decided to-day that Undertaken
f. II. Breesee is not guilty of inter.
fering with an officer by the removal
of the body of George Hanchette on
June 14th before the body was viewed
by the Coroner. A standing feud
has existed between Coroner Holland
and local undertakes. There is no
public morgue in this city, and the
Coroner believed he could have the bod
les taken to such undertakes as he
might designate, regardless of the wish
es of the relatives of the dead. Justice
Morgan, in his decision, says that the
neglect and delay occasioned upon this
occasion were due to Coroner Hollands
failure to perform his sworn duty.

argued that the $4,000 remaining
would be insufficient to erect such a
building as is. required, since a high

mornings with her mainsa;l damaged.

carried away and she had to be brought
up in tow. She returned here under

sH.SNISG LITTLE MIR. SMITH.

New Yerk Evening Post
There is at least some amusement to
be got out of our high and mighty ex-
pansionist officials. They strut their
little hour with SO enlarged a sense of
importance, just because their lot is
cast in time of imperialism. They
think imperialism necessarily makes
them imperial; that expansion makes
their views expanded. So they
take their strictly made-in- the United
States-c clothes for the genuine purple.
and fondly imagine that when they sit
down to settle the question whether
Boss Platt's man or Boss Quay's man
shall have the dictatorship of the
post" in Cebu or Faiardo, they are
Caesar, Give, Bismarck, and Disraeli
rolled into one. Disraeli it was, by
the way, who furnished just the right
name for our complacent imperialists
in high places. He called certain
pompous heads Of department in the
English | government transient and
EMBARRASSED phantoms. - Let the per-
son whom fate thought to conceal by
naming him Smith, but whom the
President exalted to pedestal where
all the world can see what his native
talent is for being an ass-let him re-
fleet on this, and remember that
politicians are mortal. In politics,
again said the happy phrase maker
Disraeli, 1.-TWO years are an eternity"
and how small our imperial Caesars
politically dead, as they will be in sc
short time, will look. Nothing will
then be left of Alger but an odor, and
people will be oudgeling their brains
| to remember which Smith it was who
made such fool of himself.

pREsBYTERlANS IN SESSION.
The Eleventh Annual Assembly Opened
on THURSDAY nt Minneapolis.

on thursday TIT Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May 1S.-At
noon today, the opening services Of the
18th annual assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
were held in Westminster Church, this
city. Nearly TOO commissioners were
present aud the galleries were crowded
with spectators.
The Rev. DIR. Wallace Radcliffe of
Washington, d. c., the retiring mod
orator, delivered the opening sermon.
He said in part: ut is significant to
recognize the five epochal events of the
past year, In each of them the point
ing finger of the inediatorial king the
Spanish American war: the Anglo
American friendships; the Czar's pro
posal for peace; the reformation of
China; the opening of the Soudan I;
liberty, unity, peace, light, redemp-
tion. Christ is uplifting the curtain
as never before to human gaze. The
most significant century of history
is closing; the most significant
opportunity Of history is opening.
Tho pulse of a new life, the omnipo-
tence of new ideas, the expectation of
awakened hope thrill and summon the
distant and burdened nations. We arc
living in the golden age of humanity.
Today, as we convene, the peace con-
gress meets in the capital of Holland.
The very call is the echo of Christ's
prayer; THY Kingdom come In the
presence of these opportunities, the
church cannot be careless. We dare
not refuse obedience. believe in i'm
perialism, but an Imperialism that is
beneficent repuhlicanism. l believe
in war for humanity, but in war for
humanity that carries to humanity the
enduring peace and goodwill of the
Gospel of Christ. The supreme, i'm
perative. essential need today is the
Divine touch, which will arrest our
wandering and bewildering gaze,
illumine the word, unlock the treas
uries. give peace to our counsels, unity
to our brotherhood, simplicity to our
faith, radiance to our hope and ardor
to our sacrifice. -
