IfK-ljlto Thk Mobsiso OAiiV^A*^'^
London, July s.— Emperor William arose
early to-day and took a short ride, return
ing to breakfast with the Queen and tbe
royal family. Immediately afterward he
started in a. carriage for the Victoria liar
racks, accompanied by the Prince ot Wales,
Duko of Connaught and Duke of Clarence.'
The Emperor was in undress uniform of
Corps Guard, bedecked with Prussian or-'
ders, and wore a plumed helmet. The
Prince of Wales wore his . uniform as
Colonel of tho Life Uuards." It* being a
semi-state occasion, only the military at
taches of the German Embassy and the
English equerries attendant upon the Em
peror followed the royalties. The carriages
of the party were preceded by mounted po
lice and outriders.
On arriving at the barracks square, the
Emperor found the Life Guards drawn up
in tine, with the Scots Guards in the - rear.
He shook hands with the commanding offi
cers, and then inspected the troops, passing
up and down the lines and- minutely
scrutinizing the equipments of the soldiers.
This over, the troops escorted the royalties
to Trinity Church, the Emperor occupying
the royal pew. The other royalties and
members of the Emperor's and Queen's
households occupying pews in the rear.
The Guards' bands played Mendelsohn's
March while the royalties were "* eater-_
Ing. The sermou waa delivered by the*"
Queen's Chaplain, Arthur Kobinsoo, who
interred to the self-denying lives of
Christian record, . mentioning - General
Grant. Count run Moitke, General Gordon ;
and others. ' . ..; -2—- ; """ " * "*
The services over the congregation stood
while the royalties left, the Emperor and
the royal party driving back to the Castle.
While the Emperor was at Trinity the !
Queen, Empress and Princess Beatrice
drove to the private chapel at Frogrnore, at
tended by the ladies of the household. At
luncheon th» German Emperor and Em
press met the bride and bridegroom of to
morrow — Prince Albert of Anhalt and
Princess Louise of Schleswig-Bolsteln. The
great table was laid with the massive gold
pints which tne Queen permits to be dis
played only on special occasions.'
After lunrhcon the Queen and the Im
perial parly listened to a concert by the
Guards' band, alter whicii the Emperor,
Empress and Prince and Princess of Wales
drive to Cumberland Lodge to visit Prince
and Princess Christian, returning in time
for dinner. The day concluded with a
sacred concert in St. George's Hall, the Em
peror and Empress personally cougratul.it
i: g the principal soloists.
The Times and standard emphasize the
fact that the Emperor, upon the occasion of
this, his third visit to England, is the guest
of tie nation, as well as of thai irt Tuese
newspapers also dilate upon the friendship
existing between the two nation-*, which,
they say, amounts to a tacit alliance.
The Standard adds that It can only be of
advantage to the peace of the world that it
should be known that any conspiracy
against the stability of the existing Euro
pean system would be met by the union of
England's naval and Germany's military
strength. "To proclaim this fact," tie
Standard continues, "inflicts neither htiuiil
i— v nor injury upon any State sharing
our regard for public treaties and for
peace." The standard then proceeds to de
fend the immense armament of Germany on
the ground that no other method of insur
ing peace is known, saying "it is for dissat
isfied countries- to disarm; peace-loving
countries are ready to preserve the existing
Peace." r .

LIBERIA EATEN ED.
The Black Republic Looking for Aid From
This Country.
New Yobk, July s.— The Republic of Li
beria is now agitated over the encroach
ments of the European powers, and is anx
iously watching each step made in the par
tition of Africa. A merchant interested In
tbe Libeiian trade says: "These are trying
times for Liberia, and its people are calling
for moral support of the United States.
There is much excitement over the en
croachments of the French at Cape Talmas.
They have crossed from tbeAshantee into
Liberian territory, established military sta
tions and refused to go away. The country
is pn sperous and is making headway in
civilization and wealth, but the constant
fear that tie republic will be swallowed up
by some European power greatly checks its
progress. What the Black Republic wants
now is for the United .Slates to present it
with one of the old wooden war-ships. It
wants this for the effect that such an act
would have. At present Liberia is abso
lutely powerless against any one of the great
powers, and the destiny and salvation of the
republic lies with the United States."

Sirs. Mackay't. Annoyeri.
Although Mrs. John W. Mackay is popu

London she is far from it. She lives, as
you know, in magnificent style. She enter
tains lavishly and moves In the very best
society. Her great wealth enables her to
do things quite impossible for even dukes
and lords to undertake, vet her lot, like
that of Gilbert's policeman," Is not a happy
one. She receives a bushel basketful of
begging letters every day of her life, aud
most of these - from Americans who wish
her to help Them in some social or busi
ness way, or to loan them money to re
turn home. She is pestered to death by
all sorts of people who have no claim
upon her for - financial aid— men who
have lost their money at the gaining tables
or women who presume upon her generous
nature. If she were to give to all who ask
her she would be penniless in a week. And
not only is she annoyed by these begging
letters, but she is waylaid as shu goes from
her door to her carriage until It has become
absolutely necessary. for her to send a foot
man in advance of her to see that the coast
is clear. She is besieged in stores and shops,
and everywhere it is the same cry, "Give,
give." The most absurd stories are printed
in the newspapers about her, and taken alto
gether she is the most uiisci able woman in
London. In her case wealth and position
have brought her more sorrow than pleas

developed a new seedling peach of great
value called "McKevitt's early." It is a
yellow freestone of high color and unusu
ally sweet flavor, combining all of the essen
tial requisites lor canning, drying and ship
ping. It ripens earlier than the St. John,
hitherto the earliest yellow freestone
known, maturing about the same time as
the royal apricots. Returns received from
the East say it meets with great favor and
comniai.ds the highest prices. Its propoga
lion on a large scale and earliness of bear
ing will make it an important factor In the
fi uit trade of California. This is the first
year it has come largely into bearing.
There is a big demand here for men nnd
women to cut fruit. Sober, Industrious men
anil women can secure. immediate employ
ment at remunerative wages, but must come
prepared to camp out, as there are no va
cant houses in town and all available places
in the orchards are taken. Prices for cut

I Camp Mabkham (Santa Cruz. Cal.l, July
s.— Where on Saturday nicht the commis- j
sary tables for the several battalions in the
field at Camp Markliiini were apparently in
adequate to seat the impatient and hungry
soldier boys and waiters sweated and
groaned to supply the tables with 7 things
for them to eat, at noon to-day these same
tables were almost deserted. It was not to
be wondered at for the only thermometer in
-camp, belonging to a Sergeant, whose super
, abundance of flesh makes him necessarily a
student of thermology, registered 107&°
under, the awning of his tent and 100°
in a more favored place in the Captain's
tent, which Providence blessed with a breeze
at the time of observation. And yet those
who had been in town and at the beach said
that camp was more pleasant and cool in
comparison. No wonder, then, that appe
tites failed the otherwise hungry horde.
Opinion was unanimous upon arrival on
Saturday evening that never has a camp
been more pleasantly or nine advantageous
ly pitched, considering the nature of the
ground, and that in this respect Major
Hughes, Brigade Quartermaster, has done
his work well figuratively, let himself out.
The field is such- that very little shade is
afforded where a tent could possibly be
pitched. The pine and laurel groves are all
back of headquarters on the slopes of the
hills overlooking camp and well into theso
headquarters and the commissary depart
ments have been run, except with the
Second Artillery, on the right of brigade
line, where there is not natural shade
enough to protect a fly.
True, the brigade camp is compressed in
less space than it has ever been, and things
look a little odd and damped with such nar
row streets; but, as Is evident, the best has
been made of the natural advantages and
defects. The battalions arrived in camp on
Saturday, all before dusk, after a ride,
which would have been put down as a pleas
ant one but for the warmth of the day. The
Third, Fifth and Tenth Infantry, who came
by the nirrow-gauge, were the first to ar
rive at Santa Cruz and the third at camp,
arriving at li o'clock. Colonel Barry's regi
ment was the only one that evening to mount
guard with all formality. It has adopted
the correct system of mounting guard by de
tails. Captain Levy of C of Oakland was
Officer of the Day to-day and Lieutenant
White of G Officer of the Guard.
An attraction of camp on Saturday even
ing was the concert given by the baud. In
fact It was the ' attraction for all who were
not too busy in arranging for all the little
comforts ot the week. Captain Delaney,
the Adjutant, is not in camp, and therefore
headquarters have not been in his absence
what they would he with him present. But
then the Captain may have the satisfaction
of knowing that the ladies have not as yet
'been superabundant' in camp. Lieutenant
Ryan of Company C is acting as Adjutant,
and Lieutenant Drady, I. K. P., in the same
capacity when mounted duty is required.
By the way, Colonel Barry's regiment,
which apparently does not propose to he
anything less than No. 1 save in regimental
number, proposes on Wednesday evening
to give a reception and ball at tbe Pacific
Ocean House. This will be the first of the
military receptions w leb will mark Camp
Markhain. This reception will be, of course,
by the > (Been.

and beer, over which Captain Levy and
Lieutcnatits Dradv and White stand jeal
ous guard, with frequent sampling to re
duce the temperature and be certain that
dummy cases have not been substituted
while on their way from the city.
Remarkable to state most of the men In
the brigade were up yesterday before re
veille at 5:30 in the morning, not because
they are soldiers tothe manner bom, but be
cause they forestalled reveille by not going
to sleep when they went to bed. The day
was a quiet one comparatively speaking,
though there was one appreciated innova
tion at reveille after the sounding of the
call when each regimental hand reported at
its headquarters and played a national
hymn. In the Second Artillery things were
unually quiet, though the street of C aud D
was the liveliest one, their Captains keei ing
their men in camp that the tents might be
placed in order. Company H was on guard
with Captain Waters as officer ot the day
and Lieutenant Leo as officer of the guard.
Regimental headquarters are all in order with
I a board flouring covered with canvas and
the front decorated with the regimental
colors. The best looking quarters in the.
battalion are those of C, Captain Huber,*
tbe floor of the tents being covered with
matting, a neat rack holding the guns of
the four men in each tent, and their belong
ings having all their proper place and all
the belongings being in their place. C and
D, which face it on the same street, have an
awning running along the length of the
street. The Tenth Is on the left of the
Second, but its tents are deserted to a man.
The accommodations afforded the battalion
from Ilnmboldt County are shameful, with
not a wisp of straw lo cover the bare ground
and nothing to lie upon save the blankets
which every individual man may have
brought Willi him. With the cheerless quar
ters given this battalion, it is no wonder
that every man was conspicuous by his ab
sence from Camp during the time that the
day was open. The Tenth was located for
two days in San. Francisco in the Second
Artillery's armory?. -
In the Fifth everything went along nicely
and the battalion was numerically well
represented. Captain Jullliard of F (Sauta
Bow) was O. D. and Lieutenant Loryea of
B (San Jose) the O. G. Religious services
were held at regimental headquarters, by
Captain Samuel frisk of Santa Rosa, re
cently appointed Chaplain of the regiment
The band assisted in the service and made
the ceremonies quite impressive.- A short
prayer and then a sermon were delivered.
Captain Hagan went on duty this afternoon
as O. 1). and Lieutenant Wetherin as O. G.
This regiment mounts guard, with details
instead of telling off the company for the
six hours' tour of guard duty, and Adjutant
Smith, who like all new brooms sweepscleau,
will increase the details so that the greater
number may he benefited by the Instruction
to be derived during the week, so that really
two con panics, in point of numbers, will go
on for the new guard every evening.
- The First is very much like a cat in a
strange garret, with. its life und soul in its
Colonel at brigade headquarters, neces
sarily on the left instead of the right of the
brigade and the .Nationals on the right in
stead of the left of regimental line. But
everything Is progressing as naturally as
ever, for the First is uo'uovice at this camp

eleventh annual experience. It. has the
