SOME GOOD SPORT.
Meeting of the Olympic Club ae
San Francisco.


SAN Francisco, February 22.-
Probably the most successful OUT
door meeting of any athletic club of
the Pacific coast was that of the
Olympic Club to-day. The two
events Of chief interest were the 100
and 220 yards dashes by Harry
Bethune, professional, from Tor
onto, Canada. Although not in the
best of condition, he being under the
PHYSICIANS care, he tied the worlds
record on the 100 yards dash and
lowered the Pacific coast record on the
220 yards dash. The former he made
in 4-5th seconds and the latter in
% 1-5 seconds, beating the Coast rec
ord by two-fifths OF IL second. w. HI.
Quinn threw the twelve-pound ham.
lner 93 feet, beating the Coast record
by six inches. Two special features
which had been an ounced were not
carried out. G. E. Perrie did not at
tempt to beat the worlds record in
putting the sixteen-pound slot, nor
did Walter A. Scott attempt to estab-
llsh Pacific coast record fer one and
half miles. The weather was excel
lent and the spectators We're highly
pleased.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press dispatches 10 the HERALD
NoGALEs, Ariz, February 22.-The
Mexican troops under Captain Encis-
co, had another hot fight with the re-
bellious Yaqui Indians, at the village
Of Batachi, in the wilds Of the Bucate
mountains. The Indians were well
fortified in a strong position, where
they resisted the attack Of the soldiers
with commenda5le bravery. The bat
tie lasted from 2 O'Clock in the after
noon till dark. Next morning the
military renewed the attack OF the
Notifications, but found that the In
dams had left during the night carry
ing off their wounded and some OF the
dead leaders. The bodies of ten dead
Indians were found in adjacent pits.
The military forces lost two killed
and large number wounded. Gen
eral Guerra, who commands the for
ces fighting the Yaquis, has ordered
the troops stationed at Potam to form
a combination with Encisco, with the
object to reinforce the troops stationed
at other points in the field.
FUTURE PROSPECTS.
OF late the Mexican troops have
been getting the best Of every fight
had with the rebellious Yaqui In.
dians, and this fact gives rise to the
hope that the great Yaqui war may
be yet brought to a close and peace
once more be restored in southern
Sonora. The fight occurred a few
days since, but the news has only
just reached here. Captain Encisco
is in hot pursuit OF the Indians with
a reinforcement of fifty men of the
18th battalion, and is well supplied
with the munitions of war.
A DISTRESSING DISASTER.
During heavy rainstorm the other
day the large building, Cruz de Piera,
Sonora, used as headquarters for the
25th battalion, fell in, killing four
soldiers and wounding many others.
The storm was one OF the most severe
ever experienced in that section. A
large number of troops are ill from
exposure consequent on the destruc-
ton OF the shelter.

that the convention be held in
San Francisco, believing that the
Democratic party would be greatly
benefited thereby. He referred to
the hospitality of the people of that
city, as attested by their recent well
come of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and regarded that as an earn
est of what weight it would be if the
convention were held in San Fran
cisco.
Tarpey, of California, subscribed to
every word uttered by Senator Vest.
If one grain he said could be put in
the balance in favor of the Demo-
cratic party, and the gentleman could
show that by holding the convention
in Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati or
New Yor k, that grain of sand would
fructify and bring forth Democratic
fruit in November, he would not
stand here asking that the conven-
ton be given to San Francisco. The
Democrats of California and the Pa
cific Coast have been Spartans in
the cause, and while they held
forth the hand OF fellowship to their
fellow Democrats of the East and
South, and while they offered to har-
Dor the convention at their firesides
they did not wish to have the pleas
ure OF its company if they did not
feel they could be of service in the
great battle about to be opened. That
section was quick TO resent an insult
and prompt to return kindness, and
he believed that if the convention
came to San Francisco the response
of California would be a glorious and
overwhelming majority for the Demo
cratic nominee.
THE FIRES OF PATRIOTISM
That would be lighted on the pinnacles
of the Sierra Nevadas by the gentle.
men who would sit in the convention
and select the nominee would be car
ried triumphantly as hambeaux by
the gentlemen OF the returning march,
until the blaze was quenched in the
water of the Atlantic. Every man of
California, Democrat and Republi-
can, would turn in and help to
redeem his fellow citizens prom
Use. They feel that they could do
good or they would not ask the
convention to partake Of their hospi-
tality. They promised to pay all the
expenses of coming, using "all" in its
most amplifed sense. There would
be carriages ad lib. [laughter.l and
two additional telegraph wires would
be put between San Francisco and
Chicago, which, with those already in
use, would accommodate all the busi-
ness offered. He did not claim that
San Fra ancisco shoul have the con-
vention because she could accommo-
date them, or because its people were
hospitable, nor because it had the fin
e't climate in the world, but this
Democratic body sitting as custodians
of the interests of the Democratic
party should take into account the
fourteen votes which were trembling
in the balance, and San Francisco
should have thoughtful consideration
at it's hands. [Applause.l

Judge I,nmar's Absent.NIind d ed =
ness

remember joke told about La
mar when he was in the Senate. He
has the reputation of being given to
writing and thinking up poetry, and
his appearance very often as he
walks along the avenue is very PEN
sive and absent-minded. At one time
when he was living at Willard's he
met a friend as he was coming from
the Senate down by the National
Hotel.
"Come up and have dinner with
me-" said Lamar after they had shak-
en- hands.
The friend accepted the invitation
and started to walk up the street with
Mr.. Lamar. He began the converse
ton, and soon was interested in tel
ling about some occurrence at home,
but Lamar had fallen into one of his
reflective moods and was not listen
ing to anything the friend said. The
space between the National Hotel
and Willard's was passed over, and
finally arriving on the pavement in
front of the latter hotel, Lamar sud
denly pulled himself together, and
looking around, he recollected that he
had q friend with him. He had not
heard word the gentleman had said
but turning to him, stretched out his
hand and said:
"Well, this is my hotel. I am
very much obliged to you for walking
up the street with me. Good-bye,"
and turned to go in.
But the man was not go easily
shaken. He laughed and said:
"Beg pardon, Senator, yon invited
me to dinner, and l am not going te
lose it,"
$50 did, so I did," cried Lamar
quickly, and taking his friend by the
arm he went in.-[Louisville Courier

Cyclone and Tidal Wave.

SAN Francisco, February 22.-The
Oceanic steamer Australia, arrived
from Honolulu this morning.
The Hawaiian Gazette, comment
ing upon the recent decision of the
Supreme Court upholding the Kings
absolute veto power, says: "While
there is some dissatisfaction over the
decision on it, until constitutional
measures can be brought into play
for overcoming this source of obstruc-
ton to free legislation, adverse pub
lie opinion will expend itself upon
the decision in legitimate way.
No one doubts the good faith of the
judiciary in the matter, and there is no
agitation or movement or plan Of
campaign on foot to disturb the result.
There is nothing which threatens in
the slightest degree the peace Of the
community, and there is a general
feeling that Hawaiian politics will run
in satisfactory and constitutional
grooves"

AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT.
The committee were hardly ad.
journed for the day before the
rival delegations resumed work.
The strength shown by the
San f Francisco balloting was a
surprise to the people generally
as it was believed that the ranks OF
its supporters would break after the
first three ballots. The principal del
egations are all confident tonight and
each expresses hope in the ultimate
success of its own city. So far as can
be learned no combination has been
formed. 1t is asserted by many peo-
pie that San Francisco has polled the
largest number OF votes it will get, but
this is denied by friends of the Pacific
coast.
THE SITUATION OUTLINED.
At late hour tonight there are
many who claim that the chances for
San Francisco securing the Democra-
tic National Convention are most fiat
tering, and that from two to five ad-
ditional votes have been secured. On
the other hand there are many who
hold to the opinion that Congress
man Mason of Chicago expressed to-
night when he said: II have re-
garded the fight all along as be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis, with a
number of complimentary votes for
San Francisco. / believe that num-
Der OF delegates voted for San Fran
cisco not because they desired the
convention to be held there but simply
because the San Francisco men are
such big-hearted generous fellows,
The long distance is a great bar to
San Francisco, otherwise the Golden
Gate City would get it. I look upon
the adjournment as favorable to Chi
