The calling out of the militia and the
military reserves has occasioned wide
spread wonderment. Other stories Of
preparations against Continental combina-
uons are revived 1t is freely rumored
that the Government is determined to
demonstrate to Europe that the British
army is not a negligible quantity
Both the attitude of Europe and that of
the natives of South Africa have some
thing to do with this attitude. and the
lavish display of force is intended, doubt
ent on both sides of the Rhine and be-
yond the Nistula, but also to guard
against the "black peril"
According to the statistics published
this year the militia, including the perma-
nent staff and the militia reserve, num-
bers 132, ,493.
1t is not believed that the militia are
to be sent to South Africa. Presumably
they will replenish the denuded British
garrison towns and thus permit the Gov
ernment to send to the Cape all the regu-
lars rendered necessary by the develop
ments in South Africa.
A supplementary army estimate has been
issued asking the House of Commons to
vote an additional $4,000 men and e10, 0,000.-
600 in consequence of the situation in
South Africa. 1t is explained that the
$4,000 men represent the probable maxi
mum excess beyond the establishments
fixed for the year 1899-1900 and is in con-
sequence Of the calling out of the reserves
and of the temporary transfer of troops
from the Indian to the British establish
ment. With the additional $4,000 900 the
total army estimates are $50 ,617 900.

ton and a force Of surveyors will to-mor-
row begin to survey for a new railroad
from this city to Sacramento.
Surveying will be commenced at the
north side of Stockton Channel. a por-
tion of the proposed new road is already
surveyed, for it is the intention to use a
part of the roadbed OF the Womans Road
for entrance to the water front. Instead
of starting the survey at Sacramento 1t
was thought best to commence here. The
line will be run from the bed of the Wo-
mans Road almost directly north to New
hope. The line will run east of the Sac
ramento road of the Southern Pacific.
1t is intended to have branches extend
ing from NewhOpe and Georgetown to the

BOYHOOD FRIENDS
GREET NIX K|NLEY
The President Visits His
Birthplace.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NILES Ohio, Oct. 1S-In this town
President Mckinley first saw the light Of
day. Thousands Of his boyhood friends
gathered at the railway station this after
noon TO cheer him on his journey back TO
Washington, after tour which covered
over 5000 miles through the West and
Northwest, and during which time the
chief executive of the nation has delivered
almost a hundred speeches to thousands
upon thousands of enthusiastic citizens.
Only three of the Cabinet members re-
mained in the party which appeared to
bow acknowledgements to the warm recep-
ton which awaited them here The Presi-
dent, when the cheering had subsided,
spoke as follows:
Il fear | will not be able to make nv
self heard by this great audience. 1t is
to me a matter Of extreme pleasure to be
able after so many years of absence TO
come back to the old town in which l was
born. and l need not tell you that many
cherished memories crowd my mind as l
stand in this presence. The old frame
school house and the church have disap-
peared and in their place splendid struc-
lures have builded up. This town has
had its ups and downs.
"a voice: Not since you went in,
though-no down since then'')
Il am glad to know that it is enioving
the upward rise at this time and that
prosperity. is in your shops and factories
and happiness and contentment in your
homes. | know, my fellow citizens, that
you will be certain of the high apprecia-
ton 1 feel to have the school children of
my native town here in such vast num-
bers waving the flag we love- We
never loved that flag as we love it to-
day. There never were so many people
devoted to it, willing to sacrifice life for it,
as there are in the United States to-day
And wherever that flag floats, raised by
the soldiers Of the United States, 1t repre-
sents just what 1t represents here, the
highest privileges, the broadest opportu-
nifty and the widest liberty to the people
beneath IT."

hit of the procession was the train of the
"Hadley Transportation Company" 1t

each Of the latter sixteen feet long and
seven feet high, lighted from within with
lanterns The locomotive moved on
wheels and was fitted with boiler which

proach.
The baggage car contained an excellent
likeness of Chauncey DepeW in the act Of
throwing out a trunk marked "A. T. H. f,

The baggage car and each of the two
passenger coaches were carried by two
of the college sweeps" The whole train
formed a tableau ninety feet long. The
locomotive burned cotton waste and was
equipped with headlight. The windows
of the passenger coaches contained excel
lent portraits of prominent professors
and graduates. With the cars were twenty
seniors carrying regulation lanterns and
dressed in the garb of brakemen.
Every one in the procession carried a
flaming torch. Each man was also garbed
in academic gown and mortar board Of

signal for a mighty acclaim. President
Hadley made one of his characteristic
speeches. The good feeling existing at
Yale toward Harvard was shown when
President Eliot of Harvard was recog-
nized near President Hadley. The Yale
men cheered him vociferously also.
The celebration terminated with a huge
bonfire near the campus on the old gym
