In transmitting Mr. Oliver's let? ter. Adjt. den. Moore wrote to Oo\. Blee?e In part as follows: "1 hearti? ly concur In the suggestions offered and also approve of most of the sec? tion * Incorporated In this (Califor? nia) Act. tuit I feel Satisfied that In vorder to have a similar Act passed rby the legislature of this State it will be necessary for the war depart? ment to provide at least the arm and equipment necessary without cost to this State, together with the assignment of an officer from the J regular army or from the retired Hat for Instruction and supervision of such schools ss may come und- r the provisions of this Act." Governor Blease addressed to Mr. Oliver Thursday % letter In which he presents In plain terms his views, which differ radically from those of g Adjt. Oen. Moore. The Governor's letter Is as fol? lows: Hon. Robert Shaw Oliver. Acting Secretary of War and President of oard for Promotion of Rifle Prac? tice. Washington. D. C.?Sir: Your I letter of July IS. transmitted to me July 1? by Adjt. Oen. W. W. Moo/*, received. In reply I beg leave to say that I cannot concur with the Adjutant General of my State In ap? proving your bill. i In the first place. I do not believe I r this country Is ,n danger of any se? rious war. now or hereafter, as I think arlbtration Is more humane than wsr. and that by peace confer? ences differences between countries will be settled without blood med. I do not believe in educating every y boy that he hss to shoot somebody. They have enough of that In them already. Furthermore, our State has not the money to mnke the appro? priation necessary to csrey out this bill. However, mv most serious ohjeo? f tion to your Mil Is that I am un tlterably oppo4,-d to arming negro school children with rifles and am? munition, nur State has had enough trouble wlih Federal bayonet; In the hands of negroes and their al? lies. It was only a few years ngo hat our Adjutant General disbanded all the negro companies of the State militia, for whleh he had my most hearty spproval. The white schools of our State, under the provisions of your bill, re? quiring forty or more students, it years of age or over, would be at a disadvantage, because In the white schools there ire sometimes not as many as forty student*. and they generally cease to go to school about the age of 15?. while in the negro schools there are nearly always forty and thev range in age from 3 to SO. Consequently. In my opinion, the bill you propose would be dis? advantageous to the people of my State. Therefore. I cannpt recom? mend the passage of such a bill, and, tt passed would be compelled to veto it. Very respectfully, ''?de I,. Rle.ise, Governor. Columbia, July 20.

Achievement* From the Idep. n?1 ?-nt. If there ever was n thoroughly sc!:'-made man, with a job to be proud of. it is Wiley And hii Bureau of Chsenlatry, Ho was born ??n a small farm in Indiana. His father? to quote the Doctor?"plowed for a living and preached for love," but withal was an exceptional <",r.-.k scholar and taught his boy (3reck al? most beton he had mastered English, He was the kind of a lather to in? spire in his son a longing for knowl? edge?and the way in which the voting Wiley accomplished his cdu OUUon l< worthy of note. It marks the man. Between chores, in the hard grind which fell to him as a boy, he got together enough "hook learning" to enter Hanover College, Through the four years* course he .| .*?') cents a week for a room. Once a week he tramped home, re? turning with the next vre ?fc*a supply of food on his hack?he lived on eornnieUl mu?h. potatoes, biead and molasses. He never owned an over 8 mA\ but he led his class through the entire course, both in studies and athletics. Then he taught while he ?fuelled medicine in Butler College. Indianapolis. He r. ceived his de? gree of doctor of medicine in 1^75, with enough money saved up to take a special course in chemistry at Har? vard College under Agtlttf. Peacock and A -a Ur ic, receiving the degree of bachelor of science. Later he studied chemistry. physiology and pathology In the Herlin University, Und *r Virchow, Von Heimholt! and Hoffman, and under Dr. Zell, the head of the Berlin Board of Health, Where he gained the first inspiration I hich resulted in the devotion of his life to i battle for pure food and ..re?,?. This is the man who for Jt? years hUl b t. it the head of the Bureau of Chemistry In the Department of Agrl? ulture. The first 16 yoars were hned ! 'ilium. He began with a staff "f four assistants and a dishwasher, down in the cellar of the old Agri OUltural Building, and for years worked ;<* ? elerk'i .-alary. Now he has ?? staff of 350 and a building of his own, He found the same public lethargy against him which greeted TMn-'hot'a early efforts, and a Con? gress which not only reflected but exaggerated it. Only in the last 10 years have real results of his efforts been evident; but to realize th*> gi? gantic strldts which we have taken in that time, since one we were routed, we have hut to look back and recall the conditions connected wlih idl food ami drug supplies a gOflSSJ year3 ago, and our carlessness concerning them. Many have rism up Of late to OlailU a share in the glory, and Dr. Wiley Is lee preposterously modest not to give even the devil his due and n ore for all the assistance he has had In pushing forward the light kSJfttnol adulterations. But it goes without saying thut for the first Im pu's??. the persistent Investigations, ?he perpetual hammering away at herd, cold facts; the motlw power has been Wlleyj and for it the nation o'.ves him an Incalculable debt. Th? ?nactmeut of the pure food and drut; act was his lirst signal victory, hut he was by no means sntlefled. II sa\s that it only gaVS him a tlghtin-1 hold for the real battle.

Early last night lighting broke out in the streets and at daybreak the governmi at was overthrown; the revolutionists had occupied the town and the streets were tilled with ex? cited m n shooting at random. All American women were taken aboard the yacht, while the foreign con? sulates were filled with refugees. These included generals who had Supported the revolution and the lo? cal authorities, in protecting whom the French consul was slightly wounded. A request wai cabled to the Uni? ted States authorities by the yacht owner for release from bond given before leaving N\\v York not to use arms and an answer was returned that there was no authority for such release.
