The new shower bath erected for the

Companies I. L and I, Third Infan
try and Separate Company 0 passed
through here yratcrday and were In
Seaside by 5 p. m. The balance of the
lay waa devoted to camp-making.
Sunday, at Fort Stevens, was a quiet
day. Muster began at V a. m, and was
finished by 10 o'clock. After this thus
the men Mere at ret while the o Hirers
buied tbeuiMflve lu making out man
ning tables.
Yesterday morning the drill and in
struction commenced when at 0 o'clock
the assembly csll was sounded. Th
Infantry suppoit marched to th beach
below Buttery Mfrhler and wer drilled
and intructed until lite recall sounded
at 10 o'clock. One company of rcgulaiw
and one comimnv of the National Guard
took pait in these drill and Irwtruc
tlonx. While the infantry were drilling
the details (o the batteries were being
Inatructed at the batteries. There are
but two batlcrle In eommlsalon, Bat
tery Clarke and Battery MIIiIit. This
la owing to the deplete! condition of
the cotiipanlee but Clarke being a mor
tar battery ami Miahler beluga batter'
of disappearing guns, the ue of these
two balterlca will cover the Instructions.
At 10 a. m. tha drill ceased for th
forenoon and the men and officers re
turned to camp. A rest was taken un
til 12 noou when "dinner'' sounded. At
1:30 p. in. the assembly soumlcd again
and drills were rejH'ntcd and continued
until 3 n .m. when recall was sounded.
The afternoon drill for lhe Infantry
waa for a supposed attack on Point
Adam while the gun practice was as
in the forenoon.
The officer of the regulars rxpeciwcd
themselves very well pleased at the apti
tude of the guardsmen in picking up
the instruction and were surprised at
the Improvement bown In but a half
I'ay's Instruction. At Battery Clark,
which Is a mortar battery, the Astorinn
representative saw the gimnUmcn re
ceiving their Instruction at 0 a. m.
which was simply nu instruction of the
working of the mortars, the regulars

looked on. In the afternoon on re
sumption of drill the guardsmen were
hnndiing the gun while the regular
looked on. Lieutenant II. J. Cooper of
the regulars,, officer in charge of the
battery, expressed surprise and admira
tion at the Improvement and an id that
the boys showed up much better than
recruits. While probably Lieutenant
Cooper la too modest to claim any
credit for this yet the fuct is that we
noticed, ourselves that the instruction
given by ho and those under him were
clear and given in an easy way that
the new men were not in the lout-It
rattled. ' ,
The same can be said of the men at
Hattery Mlshler which Is In charge of
Captain Willis for the regulars and Cap
tain J. M. Williams for the guardsmen.
The Infantry were not behind in the
general Improvement and It Is predicted
by those at the fort that when the
period of drill and Instruction has come
to an end a better lot of drilled militia
men In coast defense will not be 'found
anywhere. The same program is be

MISTAKE ABOUT BATTLESHIPS
The American Delaware Battleship Does
Not Resemble the British Dreadnaught
But is in a Clan of Its Own Same
Tonnage.
.WAKIIIXrl'OX, July; 8. "There is
no such thing at American. Dreadnaught
nor is any projected," said a distinguish
cd naval oillcer yesterday." He wa re
ferrlng to the two great 20.000-ton bat.
tleshlp,' contracts for which have jitHt
Irt'etv provisionally awarded, and which
were mentioned In the congressional
livlinte Ritd newspapers as of the
DreadiiHUght class.
''The new ships should be called 'the
Delaware class', for, without knowing
what the second ship is to be called, the
first vessel of tho kind - usually fixes
the name of tho class, and Secretary
Metcnlf has christened No, 23 Dela
ware," said this officer. The officer then
pointed out tlm difference between the
KnglMi Dreadnaught and the American
Delaware classes, going Into some de
tails as to the plans for te latter which
is not deemed politic by the. navy de
partment to make public even at this
Inte date.1 Generally stated, the salient
poltrts of difference were to be found
In the arrangement of the armament.
The 12-Inch gun of the British vessels
are carried In two turrets on the central
lines from bow to stern and in the
"waist" on side turrets In line with the
keel, The advantage of the lntter ar
rangement is tho ability to bring every
one of the guns of the primary battories
I10ISE, July 8.-Part of the San
Francisco depositions dealing with the
Bradley explosion were read to the jury
trying Haywood for his life on the
charge that he murdered former Gover
nor Ktcunenherg and the balance are
to be presented tomorrow. Reading be'
Hn directly after the court sat with
Clarence Darrow and Senator Borah al
ternating for their respective side and
although they pressed ahead a fast a
possible a folio calculation made at ad
joumment ahowed that much of tomor
row will be consumed by unread affi
I'avita. The depoaitlona have an im
portant bearing on the case but they
contained no interest for the crowd,
The attendance waa the lightest since
the trial began. Both sides deemed
satisfied with the showing made by the
depositiona and the eontenta will prob
ably furnih much material for the di
rectly opposed contention when the trial
reaches the argument stage. The state
counted It a victory that Fred Bmdley
had receded from hi first and positive
statement that it waa a gas explosion
and was prepared to believe that a bomb
minht have been ue.l, Bradley's first
statement was made before he knew of
Orchard'e confession or any of the other
evidence locating Orchard In the vicinity
of his house. The prosecution were also
pleased to have It shown that while
Bradley waa atill Inside the door when
the explosion occurred particlea of glass
from the door, hairs from the rug that
waa outside the door, pieces of stone
nnd cement from the mosaic floor of
the vestibule were blown into his body,
It will be contended that this shows con-
clusively that the explosion was from
the outside and could not have .been
caused by gas explosion inside the
house. The defense on the other hand
is satisfied that the depositions , will
show that it would have been Impossible
foi Orchard to have reached the vesti
bule and have placed the. bomb in the
manner nnd time described by him and
that evidence and particularly the ex
plosion shows that a gas leak was the
cause; that there were "not two explos
ions; that Orchard's testimony as to
his movements in the rear of the build
ing when ho claims that he poisoned
the milk is shown by physical conditions
to be false.
LAID AN EGG.
NEW YORK, July 8.-A keeper In the
B.tmx too found a huge epg in the o
triih cage yesterday. Chief Curator
Beebe, in charge of th bird department,
says it 1 a rhea egg. A rhea I a
South American ostrich. The egg is
about six inche in diameter and weigh
three pounds. It is of a golden color.
A big incubator waa rigged up and the
too attendant will attempt to hatch an
ostrich. Beebe save the hatching of
the egg is a 11,000 proposition, an os
trich chick being worth that sum.

At another time, Attorney Metaon, of
the defense, interposed a vigorous objec

Judge Dunne' reply wa that Mr.
Metaon, instead of Interrupting the pro
ceedings, ought to be beginning a day

LOS ANGELES, July 8. "World

for his strong denunciation of war.
At ita conclusion the convention re

resolutions a strongly worded resolu
tion favoring international arbitration
disarmament and other international
reforms. Two sections of the resolu
tion were cabled to the Aemrican dele

SAN FRANCLSCO, July 8. The
sentencing of Mayor Schmitx to five
year in San Quentin penitentiary for
extortion and the partial completion of
the work of selecting a jury to try Vice-
President Glass of the Pacific States
Telephone Company were the features
todity In bribery graft proceedings. The
sentencing of SchmiU was one of the
most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in
a western court room. At 10:45 o'clock
in the presence of the largest crowd that
has as yet gathered in his court room at
Temple Sberith Israel, Judge Dunne
sentenced Mayor Schmitx to five years'
imprisonment in San Quentin peniten
tiary for the crime of extoring (1175
from French restaurant keepers of San
Francisco, of which crime he was con
vk'ted by a jury June 13.
As the hist words of the sentence fell
fro mthe Judge' lips, the great crowd
that had stood throughout the dramatic
scene, sent up a thunderous cheer.
"Good for you," shouted a man in the
back of the room.
His ejaculation waa echoed and re
echoed by one aiter another of the
spectators. Several threw their hats
into the air. Others scrambled upon
chairs to look over the shoulders of the
crowd. The greatest confusion' pre.
vailed.
Attorney Fairall of the defense, rais
ing his voice above the din called out to
Judge Dunne:
"Your Honor, this cheering is a very
unseemly occurrence."
"Well," retorted Judge Dunne with
spirit, "if we bad a Sheriff worthy th
name it would have been stopped in.
stoutly."
Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was standing
inside the rail. He turned to the court
and protescd: ' "
"Nobody could have stopped that,
Your Honor."
Special Agent Burns, of the prosecu
tion, led a number of bailiffs in the cryi
'Clear the court room; clear the court
room!"
But only a few of the hundreds of
curious and apparently delighted men
obeyed the command. Some of them were
hustled unceremoniously out into the
hallways. About 100 others kept their
vantage places around the counsel
table, where Schmitx sat dictating a
statement to the newspaper men.
The (frainatic atmosphere was height
ened by a staff of newspaper- photo
graphers, who exploded flashlight after
flashlight till the court room was so
filled with smoke that it became stifling.
The sentencing of the convicted May
or was in one respect without a parallel
in the criminal annals of San Francisco.
Half a dozen time Jude Dunne was in
terrupted by Schmita, who protested in
strong words against the "delivery of a
lecture," instead of the pronouncement
of judgment. He accused the court of
unnecessarily humiliating him and giv
ing opportunity for further humiliation
by the reporting of his remarks In the '
ST. PETERSBURG, July 8. The
Novoe Vremya today expresses delight
at the state of relation between
Japan and the United States. It says
that it hopes for the worst atates that
the controversy over minor happenings
in California is "Mens blind" and assert
that Japan has an ambition to control
the trade of the Pacific by a quasi open
door and adds that she is representing
herself as being the injured side. The
paper further indicate that Russia will
be forced to observe a neutral attitude.

TOKIO, July 8. The Asahi today
publishes an interview with an influen

importance to the transfer of the
American fleet from the Atlantic to the

growth of tlw United States avjp and
