Knox, the Secretary of the American
letter in San Francisco paper, and,
assuming to speak for the American
Railway Union, sets forth the reasons why
the organization declines to take part in
the celebration of the National holiday.
The reasons set forth are simply idiotic,
else they would be insurrectionary.
They serve, If they do however re-
fleet the sentiment of the membership,
to emphasize what the RECoRD-UNIoN
held to be true last summer-that the
Debs uprising was from the outset in
tended to inaugurate a scheme to seize
upon the Government and set up a die
latorship. That plan would have been
attempted had President Cleveland hest
tated moment and have replied to the
insolent letter Debs and Sovereign for
warded to him, after first printing i in
newspapers.
This fellow Knox echoes the thought
men of this country do not feel called
upon to stand for this Government the
way it is run at present." But the cele-
bration is not for an Administration, or a
party, nor yet for the Government, in
political sense. But it is commemorative
of a great historical event, which has lost
none of its significance; it is to do honor
to living principles embodied in the char
ter of our liberties, and over which
neither Administration nor party have
any control.
Knox says: 1.-THE labor organizations
are standing together on this point, as
they do not see any reason why they
should enthuse over the coming celebra-
ton of Independence Day since the coun-
try is as far from being governed by the
principles involved in the Declaration of
Independence as though those principles
were never thought Of" What roti If
what Knox says be true. all the more
reason why he and his colleagues should
stand forward to emphasize the passing
of the day shat saw the birth OF declara-
ton of principles which Knox assever-
etss he reverss and stands by.
According to this fellow the man who
Joins In the celebration of the birthday
of the Nation is doing something that is
inimical to the fundamental principles
on which the republic is grounded. In
one breath he declares, 1--WE will always
uphold the Government Of the United
States" and in the next he declares that
the Government commands no respect
from the laborirg men, as it is not run
according to his ideas of what is a wise
policy.
Was there ever anything more pitiful
than this exhibition by an American
Railway Union leader of mean spirit and
disloyal sentiment? We do not wish to
believe that he voices the sentiment of
the mass of the membership for which
he assumes 10 speak. To SO believe
would be to insult their intelligence, and
belittle their capacity to contemplate
truth. or entertain sentiments of justice
and feel emotions of patriotism.

WE were disposed to doubt the aceu-
racy of the first news that foreigners had
been massacred at Cheng tn in China.
Later dispatches confirm the doubt, for
while il is said that in six cities there
have been riots. and the property Of for
eiguers has been destroyed by mobs,
nothing is said of loss of life. But the
lines of communication are in Chinese
hands. and it may be that massacre news
have been suppressed. France, Ger
many. the United States and England are
most concerned in the matter. 1t it turns
out that the Chinese in the six cities have
nassacred the missionaries from these
countries, there will be nothing for it but
to demand such reparation as money can
measure. But the nations should 60 fur
Their and exact for the future such secur-
ity for our people in China hereafter, that
the possibility OF their peril will be re-

would be more sanitary in the premises

Ready.

VALLEJO, CAL, Dec. 29.-Rumors have
been afoat for the past day or two that
the destination of the cruiser Boston
would be changed from the China station
to the South Pacific Coast. AS far as can
be learned there is nothing to warrant the
prediction. She is fitted for the Asiatic
station, and has all her charts on board.
and stores for the various ships in the fleet.
The first of the week lot of electrical wire
and top-lights for the Charleston. Petrol
and Concord will be sent aboard. These
ships have never been supplied with the
top-lights, W ich are now to be used in
place of the Coston signals, so long in use
in the navy. Extra men will also be taken
to distribute among various vessels in the
feet.
From present indications the cruiser
will not leave the yard for few days.
Then she will only go as far as San Fran
cisco, where her compasses will be ad
justed and few stores taken aboard.
Everything is ready for sea with the ex
ception of the ice-making machine. which

SLOW TIME WAS MADE
John S. Johnson and Tom Eek, the Fa.
nous Professionals, Coming to
This Coast.

The last bicycle road races of the year.
and probably for a couple of months to
come, were held yesterday afternoon from
San Leandro to Haywards by the Imperial
Cycling Club.
The road was somewhat rough and this,
combined with "a cold northeast wind
which the riders had to face, made their
speed considerably slower than was ex-
pected, as the Imperial men are known as
good road-riders.
The club has had two fve-mile road
races on the cards for several weeks past,
one for single wheels and one for tandems,
but owing 10 the frequent rains the races
have been postponed from time to time.
As result the riders were lax in their
training, and few were in as good form to
race yesterday as they were three weeks
ago when the races were first announced.
At o'clock the race for single wheels
was started. OF the twenty-seven original
entries only five were scratched, and the
time of titteen was taken at the finish, but
so naccurately that it was not announced,
particularly as no records were shattered.
Most OF the men went over the course in
from twelve to thirteen minutes.
VI. Cook won the race, with the assist

A. Z. Bozio was credited with making
the best time, for which he will receive a
diamond medal. There were five valuable
place-prizes.
The tandem race, novelty on this coast,
was expected to be the means of lowering
the coast record to point where it would
remain untouched for long while, but
the cold wind must have chilled the riding
spirit in the men, and they did not do as
we'll as has been done in many single
wheel races the past year.
Had the Roche brothers team and Egan
and Panario not met with accidents the
race would have been faster, for they were
looked TO TO make the pace very lively.
Seven teams started in the race. Pune
and the others finished as follows:
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-30

As will be seen by this table, Byrne and
Alborelle made best time-12:12 3-5-but
this gives no idea of what they could do if
the day had been warm and the roads
smooth. J. S. Egan and G. J. Panario
rode over the same course several weeks
ago i'll II :0S, pacing George Hamlin when
he made his worlds record on single
wheel for five miles on the road of
I'LL 2-5. Had the tire of their front
wheel not punctured yesterday at the
start Ega1 and Panario would have made
the fastest time, and it would have been
well under twelve minutes.
There will be no more road racing now un-
til the latter part OF February, when the
Associated Clubs annual twenty-five event
takes place over the San Leandro triangle,
in which there will be nearly 200 contest
ants.

RIFLE AND PISTOL.
Satisfactory Experiments on the Pro-
posed New Targets at the Shell
Mound Shooting Range.

HhoohN A.1hbCs
The cold weather yesterday kept many
of the riflemen away from the Shell
Mound range, but there were number of
enthusiasts out, and no kind of weather
ever experienced in this State would keep
them away from their favorite amuse-
ment. The final shoot of the season of
the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club was
held week ago, but the secretary, f. O..
Young, and ]. E. Graham, one of the
medal winners. were on the range expert
menting with the new targets that the
club is consid ering for adoption for next
year. On the 200-yard range the target
rifle was used on 7.4-inch bullseye, and
the results were very gratifying.
The advantage in using the new targets
is that the effects of black and white. light
and shade, are such that the bullseye
comes out with a stronger relief and does
not tire the eyes of the marksmen as much
as the present standard targets.
On the 4.7-inch bullseye Young made
strings of ten shots and the average would
be equivalent TO 80 points on a standard
target. German shot on the standard tar
get and made an average of "a.
In the afternoon they resumed their eX-
periments on the pistol target, 50-yard
range. Score after score was fired. Young
man made an average OF 95. Considering
the disadvantages of poor light and fingers
benumbed with the cold, these percentages
were remarkable. If the shooting had
been done on the standard targets the
scores would have oeen from five to seven
points lower.
The military marksmen were not out In
large numbers, only two companies shoot
ing their monthly medal scores. The re-
suits were as follows:
