bles were set for $50 The affair was in
the nature Of reunion Of the old San
Francisco Fusileers, formed in 1871 While
the organization has been rearranged and
rechristened four or five times, Its mem
bers have always staid together. Wnen

esting talker, and said that when the
troops Of his State return the splendid
hospitality shown them by California will
be referred TO in thousands of Minnesota
homes.
When Colonel Duboce of the First Cali
fornia was introduced the banqueters al
most went wild with enthusiasm. His
remarks were brief and were chiefly con-
fined to the loyalty of the members of
the National Guard of California, of whom
the volunteer regiments from California
were MOSTLY made up Of
Director Grove L. Johnson made short
address in place of A. B. Spreckels. presi-
dent Of the State Agricultural Society,
who was suddenly called away from the
capital. Mr.. Johnson, on behalf of the
society, invited all present to visit the
pavilion.
r. B. Carpenter responded TO the toast
"Our Country" Every one knows what
the country is. he said. The people are
prosperous and happy which indicates the
state of existing conditions, although the
soldiers of the country are in active serv-
ice against another people. He decried
the efforts Of alleged traitors in the
United States to belittle the efforts of
the constituted authorities TO carry out
the policy they have planned for the Phil
ippines. What a difference there is be-
tween the United States and France, he
said. In France they are trying an inno-
cent man accused of being a traitor, while
in this country they permit a traitor to
go unpunished.
While the committee had done every
thing in its power to make the banquet
a success, it was marred by two unfore-
seen occurrences. The first was that
TREY L. Ford was not in fit condition to
preside and the second was an asinine
joke played by Secretary Lelong Of the
State Horticultural Society.
The committee had arranged to provide
the guests-army, navy and State Of
ficials-with two-bit cigars, but Mr.. Le-
long juggled with the cigars and passed
a loaded article around. OF course, when
lit, the cigars exploded. Everybody was
disgusted with the perpetration of such
a Joke on such an occasion. They left
the table and went away from the ban
quet hail.
At the conclusion OF the banquet all
marched to the pavilion, where the Club
Of go held a reception in honor of the dis
tinguished visitors. General Shafter de-
of spectators. Admiral Kautz, the Gov
Colonel Duboce of the First California
Volunteers were each introduced to the
people and were heartily received.
Tomorrow night President A B.
Spreckels will give banquet at the SUIT
ter Club to the Citizens Executive Com
mittee of Sacramento, which has done
so much to make the State Fair a sue
cess.

Plea for Homemade Cigars.

At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Bee
Bottlers' Protective Association held yes
terday the question of giving encourage
ment to local cigar-makers was discussed
It was stated that there are at the pres
ent time very few local white men en-
gagged in the manufacturing of cigars In
order to show the sympathy of this as
sociation for the cigar-makers of Sar
Francisco the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The promising outlook for home
manufactures has encouraged the cigar
makers Of San Francisco to inaugurate
a movement for the rehabilitation OF their
industry in this metropolis, and believing
that there Is good reason why the Cali
fornia made cigars should not be restored
10 full popularity in this community, bring
ing TO every retail tradesman In San Fran
cisco direct pecuniary benefits and to every
citizen the indirect benefits that come
from increasing permanent population
and the steady expansion OF our manufac-
turing industries, therefore be II
Resolved That the Pacific Coast Beer
Bottlers' Protective Association hereby
pledges Its moral support to the movement
now on foot under the direction OF the San
Francisco Protective Association to secure
a fair division OF patronage to home made
cigars. and TO do everything in its power TO
restore 10 full favor in this community the
California blue label cigar.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Superintendent Hewitt Recommends
and Irnrrnuarrn

Superintendent Hewitt Recommends
It's Extension and Improvement.
Superintendent Hewitt Of the Fire
Alarm and Police Telegraph filed his an
nuaI report with the Board OF Supervisors
yesterday, and he recommended that pro-
vision should be made in the next tax levy
for 300 new fire boxes, the placing Of
municipal wires underground. direct tel
stations with the central Office and new
quarters for the office of the department.
He states that the circuits are danger
ously overloaded and of extreme length,
and more room is needed.
The superintendent reports that he has
ordered an emergency circuit placed in all
hotels, theaters and other public build
ings, so arranged that the building may
be left in darkness excepting single lights
over exits and in passageways. They will
be controlled by a switch near the main
entrance and accessible to firemen and
that this is the only large city in the
United States that has no order regu-
lating the installation of electric wires
according to the rules of the National
Board of Underwriters. He recommends
the passage of an ordinance empowering
the department to issue certificates under
those rules certifying to the efficiency Of
the work done.
During the fiscal year ending June 30
last the department received SIS alarms
and 81 AT police calls. The equipment con-
sists of PSI gongs and tappers, 531 miles
of wire. 22s2 cells OF battery z7s fire box

assembled in the Assembly chamber in
the Capitol one of the most brilliant gath
erings ever witnessed in the far West
The occasion was a banquet to the Gov
ernor and staff, Governor Lee of South
Dakota, General Shafter, Admiral Kautz
and the officers of the army and navy and
the National Guard of California. The
banquet was given by the Citizens State
Fair Club. State officials and officers of
the National Guard in this city, and there
were seated at the banquet tables be-
tween 200 and 800 persons. General Shafter
and Admiral Kautz and nearly all the
army and navy officers were in full dress
uniform.
A telegram was read from Ex-Governor
Budd expressing his regrets that he was
unable TO attend, owing TO indisposition,
and extending his congratulations TO the
Governor for his success and best wishes
for future prosperity.
Attorney General Tirey L. Ford was
toastmaster of the occasion He intro
duced the Governor, who responded to the
toast "Our Governor" and was received
with cheers.
The Governor referred in eulogistic
terms to the career Of General Shafter,
Admiral Kautz, the California troops
and the troops Of other States in the
Philippines. He. spoke glowingly Of the
State Fair, and thanked his hosts for the
toasts assigned to him.
The reception of General Shafter was
much more enthusiastic than that ten
dered the Governor. The history of the
army. he said, is unequaled and unparal-
leled since the independence of the coun-
try was established. He referred in high
terms TO the loyalty Of the regular and
volunteer troops. The armies OF the
country have been successful in four
wars" said the general, 'in which the
regulars and volunteers were moved to
love one another. There is no party IN
existence that can induce them to become
disloyal in any degree"
Admiral Kautz was received with a
demonstration equal to that in honor Of
Shafter The admiraPs remarks were Of
a humorous nature and intensely inter
esting.
The banqueters cheered to the echo
when Governor Lee Of South Dakota was
introduced by Attorney General Ford.
He said he had reason to be proud Of
California, San Francisco and the State
Red Cross Society for the many acts of
kindness to the South Dakota troops.
Adjutant General Lambert represented
Governor Lind Of Minnesota, who, the
General said was unavoidably absent
On behalf of Governor Lind he thanked
the people Of California for the kind at
tention they bestowed upon the troops
of the North Star State while they were
in California.
The next speaker was Father Leary,
chaplain attached TO the staff Of Gov
ernor Lind. He was a very inter-

Lively Drawn Battle.

WATERBURY, Conn, Sept 1.-Dan
Murphy of Waterbury and Australian
Jimmy Ryan fought a twenty-round
draw before the Waterbury Athletic Club.
In the second round Ryan landed a solar
plexus blow on Murphy, which caused the
latter to hang TO the ropes. Ryan did not
follow up his advantage, however. In the
succeeding round Murphy did the leading,
landing frequently on the face and head,
but in almost every case Ryan came back
with wicked righthand swings on Muir
phys wind. In the final round Murphy
went at his man in hammer and tongs
fashion and punished him severely.
He could not find the jaw, however, for

neut three to one all the way. DobbS
was decidedly the stronger man for the
greater part of the journey, but Matthews
was by far the better boxer.

Old people who have resided in this city
from early childhood say that they have

The information that Major General
SHatter CT the O0lIeQ SJdlE-~ @4 AL4S eAAt1
Rear Admiral Kautz of the United States
navy and their attending officers and
prominent National Guard officers would
attend the fair had much to do with the
general outpouring of the populace- Their
desire TO see an officer of high rank or

renown in the cause Of his country was
gratifed to their entire satisfaction

days after the Ssturnus for the same port re-
turned yesterday with the information that the
United States gunboat Paragua refused per-
mission 70 her TO enter the port OF San Fer
nando and ordered her to return to Manila
1t is generally believed that a portion OF the
crew, and perhaps some OF the passengers, were
in league with the rebels and, knowing that the
insurgents had concealed battery planted
there, ran the vessel ashore under the rebel
guns so as to make the looting free and easy
and the capture of the vessel and its valuable
cargo, together with it's officers, more COM
plete with little danger to themselves
A subsequent report received here states that
the crew and passengers of the Saturnus were
all safe and uninjured at Tarlac the Filipino
capital It was expected that the crew and
passengers would arrive in Manila soon as It
was said that they were free TO go wherever
they pleased unmolested. The Saturnus was
fully insured against loss. including the risk
of war.
