ROMANS At REHEARSAL.
The First Grand Gathering of GIadi-
atOrs for the Revival.
The Athletes Are Enthusiastic and
Are Training Assiduously-Two
Hundred Participants.

There was an animated scene at the
gymnasium of the Sacramento Athletic
Clublast evening.
1t was the first big rehearsal of the pro-
posed Circus Maximus, which is to be
given in connection with the coming
State Fair, and about 200 gladiators, sol
dlers, discus throwers, runners, leapers,
javelin throwers, boxers, wrestlers, etc.,
took part in tho grand march. The sol
diers led the van, and being militiamen
they assisted the others greatly in attain
ing the art OF keeping step. Alter the
soldiers came the twenty-four colored
men who are going to represent the pris-
oners OF war in the cast. They constitute
one of the features OF the parade, and after
the parade they carry the dead and
wounded from the arena. The other par
Elephants followed the prisoners in COM
panies, and the line completely circled
the pavilion.
the rehearsal showed that the athletes
have been IN earnest in their training,
and that they are bound to make the
big show a success. Nearly every man
who has been assigned TO part in the
production was on hand.
After the parade the gladiators re-
HoaISeu tue Que Iney are 10 sing before

1t was announced that the next re-

Coliseum, which is in course of con-
struction, near the new pavilion, next
FRIDAY night On this occasion the young
ladies who are to represent the vestal
virgins. dancing girls, etc, will also take
part, swelling the number of partici-
pants to over 800.
Last night after the rehearsal the club
directors held meeting, and elected j.
Z. PIerson to the position of Magister

that William Greer Harrison, President
OF the Olympic Club, took in the recent
Roman revival at San Francisco. Mir.

goId standard, and who is q firm advocate
OF Dlne.aiIlSn. On lie other side of the
question there Appeared a new champion,
Lverctt n Massachusetts, who succeeds
Lodge. Haiues Of New York and English
OF New Jersey, both Democrats, spoke in
favor OF repeating the silver purchasing
ciause,and Jerry Simpson spoke against it.
Debate was suspended for the time be-
ing, In order to allow Catchings to report
from the Committee on Rules a reso-
luton authorizing the Speaker to ap-
point various committees of the House.
NO additional committees were pro-
Vlded Tor, but an increase in membership
was made in some of the more important
committees, as follows: The member
ship OF the Committees on Ways and
Means, Appropriations, Judiciary, Bank
ing and Currency, Coinage, Weights and
Measures, Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, Rivers and Harbors and Agri-
culture, are increased from fifteen to
seventeen, and that of Foreign Affairs,
Military and Naval Affairs, Public
Lands, Indian Affairs, Public Buildings
and Grounds, Pacific Railroads and Dis
trict OF Columbia are increased from thir-
teen TO fifteen.
Hooker desired to offer an amendment
Increasing the membership of the Com
mittee on Rules, but Catchings demanded
the previous question The resolution
was then adopted and the silver debate
resumed. Before Simpson concluded his
remarks the House took a recess until s
O'Clock, the evening session being de-
voted to debate on the silver bill.
There were about 125 members present
when the House met this evening. Simp-
son resumed his remarks. He denounced
the gold standard, and predicted that
such standard would produce revolu-
ton that would shake the Government to
its very foundation. He was opposed to
compromise on any ratio.
Morgan Democrat) of Missouri advo-
Gated the free coinage of silver.
Talbert (Democrat) of South Carolina
appealed to the representatives of the
people to give the people free coinage of
silver.
At the conclusion of Talbert's remarks
the House, at lG:l5 P. NJ, adjourned until

MANY MILES OF CORAL REEF.
Rocks From Which 100000 Worth of
Rayr NIntorinl Is 1alSen Annually.

Rocks From Which 100000 Worth of
Raw Material is Taken Annually.
The largest coral reef in the world, the
great Barrier reef, is go miles long, and
it constitutes one of the most valuable
possessions of the Queensland Govern
ment. 1t stretches from Torres Strait
(close to New Guinea} down to the south
ern part of promontory known as Bust
ard Head, opposite Lady Elliot Island.
Raw material to the value of $4,000 is
annually obtained from the reef, and, ac-
cording to the JelCelerS' Weekly, this
amount could be enormously increased if
some one with enterprise would in
augurate a more systematic and scientific
method of carrying on the work, as the
formation is infinitely more valuable from
a commercial than scientific point Of
view. Various theories have been ad-
vanced at different times as to the origin
of this and other reefs of similar nature,
and it is interesting to note that COM
petent authorities are, to a large extent
united in assuming a probable cOnnec-
