evening to witness the race and attend o.
barbecue given by the Road Club. The
prize contested for was silver cup, which,
to become the personal property of a rider,
had to be won three times. Great interest
conferred in the race, as Gus Navlet and
Vic Benson had each won the cup twice.
The handicapping was excellent, and
the riders were soon punched. At the fin
ish they all came in together Gus Navlet
won the race and cup in 1882, breaking the
coast five-mile road record. The previous
coast record was :43 %, and was held by
Floyd Mcfarland. Hogg was second, with
Wing third.
The starters and handicaps were as fol-
lows:
H. Galloway, F. Smith. 1 min. Is sec.; R. D.
Mcfarland, min.; J. Dahlstrom, ]. j. Carroll.
A. l.. Benson, so Sec; V. A. Benson, J. Har-
rington, 40 Sec; J. Wing, Ray Hogg, 80 sec.
G. Hardenbrook, g. Navlet 10 Sec. F. A. Nc
Farland, scratch.
After the race barbecue was rendered
the AGNES in the rear of the Telescope.
George A. Nissen of the AGNES, who was
to attempt to lower the record between
here and Oakland, had wreck near Cen
terville and gave up the attempt.
The five mile handicap race for silver
medal OF the Columbus Cycling Club, held
over the East San Jose course this after
noon, resulted as follows: E. GARLIC,
1918, first; F. Chincarullo, 17:00, second; ;
q. Kunhardt, 1855. third.
The races were announced for o'clock,
and took place half an hour later. The
president of the club, NJ. Zarcone, insisted
that the hour for the race was o'clock.
AT that hour he started on lonely trip
around the course, covering the five miles
in 1892 2-5. He now claims the medal,
which is at present in his possession. The
matter will probably be compromised by
having the race run over.

The Executive Committee of the BeIye-
dere Fete to Make Them Next
Wednesday Evening.

The residents of Belvedere yesterday re-

the island bore few traces of the celebra-
ton.
The executive committee of the fete will
hold meeting at Mr.. Hawkins ark Polly
wog next Wednesday evening to finish up
the business of the celebration. There are
ample funds on hand for the payment of

awarding the prizes will be taken up.
The prizes for the Night in Venice are
five in number, one each for the most
handsomely decorated yacht, ark, launch

tons of houses, steamers, tugs and so
forth will be considered. The prize for

IRATE COLFAX GROWERS.
Placer County Fruit Used to
Break Down Eastern
Prices.
Closed Auctions Supported by the
Company Contracting for
Their Output.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. A mass
meeting of fruit growers of Colfax and vi
cinity was held in the Colfax schoolhouse
yesterday afternoon to discuss the exist
ing fruit war in New York and Chicago.
Morris Lobner was chosen chairman and
A. n o iris secretary.
In the course of q prolonged discussion
it developed that A. G. Bell, manager of
the Colfax fruit-growers, had made a con-
tract with the California Green and Dried
Fruit Company for the sale OF the entire
crop, without being aware of the fact that
the company was supporting the closed
auction in Chicago. which had been organ
lzed Tor the express purpose OF breaking
the wishes of the California growers.
Much Indignation was expressed by the
Colfax growers that their fruit was to be
used as club to break down the prices of
frult coming from growers in other vicini-
ties. There was manifest a feeling of
strong regret that the fruit had been sold
to the rivals of the growers, even though
the prices paid were top-notch market
rates. As result of the discussion the
following resolutions were carried almost
unanimously:
OF the fruit-growers of Colfax, Placer County,
and vicinity that the National Fruit Associa-
ton (Sgobel d Day New Nork agents) and the
California Green and Dried Fruit Company Up.
HUFFMAN d Co. New York agents) have con-
trary 10 the wishes of the State convention, es-
tapllshed rival auction salesroom in New
6 ork. and despite the earnest protests OF the
California fruit-growers, expressed in mass
meetings throughout the State, continue to
support and maintain such rival auction sales
room to the great detriment of the grower;
ResoLued, That we, the fruit-growers of Col
lax, Placer County, and vicinity assembled in
mass-meeting, do denounce those who are sup
porting these rival auction salesrooms as the
enemies OF California fruit-growers and the
California fruit industry
:, RESOLVED, That we call upon the fruit-growers
throughout the State to remain true to the
piedge taken at the State convention of 1894,
TO give their hearty and unqualified support
10 the California Fruit-Growers' and Shippers
association, who are earnestly endeavoring to
remedy the great evils of the past in the mar
keting of California fruit.

QUIET At JACKSON'S HOLE.
Indians Remain Passive Pend
ing the Departure of
the Troops.
Chiefs Threaten to Revenge the
Death of Their Braves When
the BluecoatS Leave.

BANNOCK AGENCY, IDAHO, Aug. A.
There will be no change in the situation Of
the Jackson Hole Indian trouble for some
time to come. The United States troops
may remain in their present location for a
month, and during that time the Indians,
nearly all of whom are now on their
reservations, will be models of propriety
and industry. After the troops leave no
one can say how soon the trouble may
break out afresh. THE CALL correspondent
to-day saw Indian letters that show very
clearly that in any trouble that may occur
the Bannocks, Utes and Shoshones are
going to stand together.
Ben Senowin. leader of the band from
which four Indians were killed in Jack
sons Hole, when asked what they would
do, said, "Mebbe so when soldier go, In
dian go back" and that is a great deal for
an Indian to say. Just at present the In
dams are all profe ssing the greatest faith
in the Justice OF the white man. and they
say the bad white men in Jacksons Hole
will be punished.
Old Tyhee, the head chief of the Ban
mock tribe, refuses to be a party to the
present superficial protestations of admira-
ton for the white mans justice, and says
that the hearts of his people are sad for the
death of their friends. When told that the
white man would see justice done the old
chief replied:
Me live many winters and see white
man kill many Indians, but white man
never hurt white man for killing Indians
Chief Twice says his young men will
avenge the death of their braves if the
white man does nothing, and added in
justification:
White man kill Indians, Indian kill
white man-eyen."

VIEWS OF SOCIALISTS.
f. r. Whitney Talks at the Pythian
Castle-Open Meetings at the
Turk-Street Temple.

Both the socialist meetings were we'll
attended last night. F. R. Whitney de-
fined what socialist is at the Pythian
Castle gathering, and the meeting at the
Turk-street temple, an open one, was adj
dressed by DR.. NJ. NJ. Wiley, J. C. Garrett,
P. Ross Martin and several others.
According to Mr.. Whitney, socialist is
one who believes in a political economy,
the three cardinal principles of which are:
First collective ownership of all the means
of pr oduction; second, equality of oppor-
tunity; and third, each member of society
to receive the full product of his labor.
Competition he called the claw of DEATH"
and said the great number of people who
had been crucifed by it made the cruel
fixion OF the Nazarene sink into insignif-
canoe by comparison.
He found an opportunity to refer to the
coming of Jesus Christ as the starting of a
new social order; said the early disciples
exemplifed socialism by enjoying all
things in common; quoted from the early
fathers of the church, like Saints Chrysos-
tom and Jerome, to prove that the selfish
acquisition of riches at the expense of So
ciety was unchristian and criminal, and
criticised Rev. G. o. Brown. Cooperation
he called the Flaw of life, :" and he elabo-
rated upon that to show that, from the
sociaistic point of view. it was good idea
upon which to base political economy.
esThe speakers at the Turk-street TEN pie
gathering shared pretty much a common
sentiment, which was that unless the pres
ent NAL iustment of social conditions
was changed by the ballot it would be
changed by physical force.
One of the speakers who followed Mr..
Martin charged the working class itself
with being largely responsible for the con-
dition of things. He accused them of
stupidity, servility, cowardliness and
cheapness, and. remarked that it was about
time to stop simply scolding at things and
fattering workingmen; that the time had
come for the truth to be told

GUARDING TACOMA'S PORT
Hawaiian Secret Service Men
Watching for Filibustering
Excursions.
Alarmed by Reports That Arms for
the Royalists are en- Route
From the East.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 4.-For several
months past the Hawaiian Government
has maintained secret service agents on
Puget Sound. One of the agents has been
stationed here for some months on the
watch for expected shipments of arms and
ammunition over the Northern Pacific to
be sent by sailing craft to the islands. He
bears letters of auth GRITTY given by G. u.
Hitchcock, Marshal OF the Hawaiian Re-
public. Jack" Mcdonald, Seattle detec-
tive who has made good record in the
Northwest, is here assisting him. 1t was
learned to-day that all points in the North
west through which arms or ammun Ition
could arrive for transhipment to the
islands are being closely watched. These
points are Everett and Seattle, terminals
of the Great Northern; Vancouver, the
terminus of the Canadian Pacific; Victo-
ria, Port Townsend and Tacoma, terminals
OF the Northern Pacific.
1t is said by agents in the employ of the
secret service men that a strong force is
stationed at San Diego, as some of the
arms used in the January revolution were
sent from there on the schooner Wahlberg.
One agent stated that $50 Winchester
rifles were shipped to the Sound over the
Great Northern Railroad last October or
November and sent thence to Hawaii by a
smuggling schooner. They were landed
on the island of Maui, about seventy-tive
miles from Honolulu. Guns were loaded
aboard the schooner Ballard, in Salmon
Bay, near Seattle, and part of them were
used in the January revolution, when 400
or 500 guns were captured by the Govern
ment forces on the battlefield near Dia-
mond Head, Honolulu, or found secreted
on the islands thereabouts. The informa-
ton as to where they were loaded was fur
nlshed by royalist prisoners.
An agent seen by The United Press cor
respondent denies positively the story that
a lumber schooner loading at Port Blake
ley carried arms for the royaIists.

HEALTH AND POLICE.

Public Institutions Officially Visited.
Police Department. Appropriation.
The members of the Board of Health
did not caucus Saturday night or yester-
day, and so nothing definite has been de-
cided in regard to future appointments.
The Governor was expected yesterday, but
dispatch was received stating that ne
was sick at MERGED.
The City and County Hospital was Wis
tied Friday, and the almshouse Saturday
by the members of the Board of Health
Dr. Williamson says that they found much
to commend in the management OF poth
institutions.
The Health and Police Committee OF the
Supervisors recently discussed the appro-
priation for the Police Department.
The recommendation to appoint five
ieutenants at $40 per month is held to be
all right, but the appointing OF i've more
sergeants was another question, as they
would only be needed in the event OF the
seventy-fve new patrolmen, which the
committee has decided not to do, giving as
a reason want of funds.
Although there is no special need for the
five sergeants there is reason why the three
detectives should be appointed, increasing
the number from twelve to fifteen. Othcers
Anthony and Gibson and Corporal Hand
ley, who would be appointed if the appro-
priation was passed, have been doing, de-
tective duty for years, and doing it well.
Chief Crowley is of that opinion, and on
July 1, believing that the appropriation for
the increase in the force would be made,
he announced that these three officers had
been placed on the detective force and
would draw the increased pay from that
date. 1t was the same with the lieuten-
ants, and if now it is right for the lieuten-
ants to receive the increased pay it is
claimed to be equally right that the three
men who have been doing detective duty
for years should also receive it.

IN THE HABDBALL COURTS,
Harlow, the Coast Champion,
and Partner Meet With
a Defeat.
An Interesting and Exciting Match
Played at the Union Court
Yesterday.

One of the most exciting and interesting
games played in the handball courts yes
terday was between George Hutchinson
and R. Lenihan and Al Pennoyer and ].
Feeney at the Union court for $50 side.
Feeney and Pennoyer defeated Hutchin-
son and Lenihan on the previous Sunday
by one ace and it was anticipated that the
return match would be 'corker."
The court was crowded and the majority
of the spectators favored Hutchinson and
Lenihan. The play was fast from start to
finish. Feeney and Pennoyer again won
after brilliant struggle by three games to
two. The feature of the match was the
terrific service of Feeney.

tive aces in the third game.

Francisco court was, between Champion
Jones of Australia and NJ. J. Kilgallon, the
Eastern professional, and John Condor, q

CHAMPION LADY RIDER.
Miss Mata Helm Is Fast Earning the
DistinHMiRhe6 Tile.

Distinguished Title.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 4.--Miss Mala
Helm of Santa Clara last Friday made the
run to San Francisco, by way of Oakland.
in four hours, and returned in the same
time. When she arrived home her cy-
clometer registered 102 miles. She left
Santa Clara at $50 in the morning and ar
rived in San Francisco at $50. Return
ing she left at 5 P. NJ. and reached home at
8. One of her ten miles was made in IS
minutes.
Miss Helm is but II years of age and
rides a dlamonu-frame wheel. Her friends
insist that she is the fastest lady rider on
the coast, and say she can ride ten miles
in better than 45 minutes. Miss Helm saws
she could have made better time on the
century run to San Francisco had she so
desired but that she gagged herself so as
to make it in four hours. She is petite
brunette of slender build, and does not
look like one possessing such powers OF en-
durance.
Miss Helms friends are ready to back
her against any other lady rider on the
coast. In few weeks she will ride against
the ten-mile record of 80 minutes recently
made by Miss Birdie Fair at Coney Island
