HUFFsTETLER DECLINES.
The Bicycle Match Race Mt Jackson
Vile Fails Through.

me BtcEcie Matcn Race ut JACKSON
Vile Fails Through.
Many of the. cyclers of this city We're
watching with interest the proposed BIZ
cycle match race at jack
sonvine, Fla, next Monday. be-
tween Columbua's fast rider,
Il. b. Maxwell and Orlando's champion,
w /. Huffstetler. The former sent the
challenge, and according 10 the Jackson
Vile papers, it was at once accepted by
Huffstetler, the distance being one mile.
Yesterdays, Jacksonville papers, how
ever, report that the race is off, as Huff
stetler declines to run.
THE reason announced" says a Jack
sonville paper, was that Mr.. Huffstetler
intends to locate in Jacksonville, and
become a member of the Wheelmen, and
IL is not deemed advisable to hold a
match race between the regular meets Of
the club.
Mr.. Maxwells friends, on the other
hand, are very much put out at the turn
of events. They had understood from tel
egrams and letters that had passed be-
tween them and ]. II. Mooney Mr.. Huff
stetler's hacker at Orlando, that every
thing was arranged, and when it was an
nounced yesterday morning that Huff
stetler had arrived in the city they sup
posed that he had come here to race.
They allege that it is clear breakdown"
and do not hesitate to say that Huffstet-
Ter is afraid to meet Maxwell on the
track"
1t is stated also that Mr. Maxwell tried
to get up a match race with Mr.. Huff
stetler at Charlotte. N. c., Sept 16, but
that the latter declined to accept any
challenge for it.

FAIR LUNA OVERsHADOwED.
Few Savannahians Watched the
Moons Eclipse Last Night.

Few Savannahians watched the
Moons Eclipse Last Night.
The eclipse of the moon last night did
rot apparently trouble Savannahians very
much, as few people seemed to be on
the streets making any Investigations as
to the cloud over fair Luna's countenance.
1t was foregone conclusion that it would
happen, and the people seemed disposed to
let it come and be over with.
few enthusiasts stood on top of some
of the buildings and piazzas of private
residences, watching the earth's shadow
gradually stealing over the bright face
of the moon and slowly casting a shadow
back over the earth. The eclipse came on
time, beginning at 10:59:54 o'clock last
night and ending at 2:53:54 o'clock this
morning. As the dark shadow first crept
over the moons surface it was plain and
distinct, the very edge showing clearly
The moonlight grew less and less in bril-
lance as the shadow advanced until at
midnight it was almost as dark on the
streets as a moonless night From l
O'Clock on the shadow seemed to grow
thin and more Of a reddish cast, through
which the moonbeams dimly struggled.
Here and there a telescope was brought
into play, and where the telescope was not
available, opera or field glasses were
turned on the moon. The city had plenty
of amateur astronomers, but all they
saw was the moon and the advancing sha-
dow. The total eclipse lasted one hour,
forty-ore minutes and six seconds.

TO CALL A PRIMARY.


Meet This Week.
Mr.. F. G. duBignon returned yesterday
from the north. where he has been for
the last three weeks on his summer va
cation, spent mostly at Saratoga and New
York city.
Chairman duBignon will call the coun-
ty democratic executive committee togeth-
er either Friday or Saturday for the pur-
pose of taking action with
regard TO the coming election
He had no doubt, he said, that
the committee would call a primary for
the selection of a candidate. Mr.. duBig-
non reiterated his statement made some
time ago to a representative of the Morn
ing News that il was out of the question
for him TO enter the race.
The executive committee, he said,
would not meet until after both sides
had named candidates. The Citizens Club
will hold meeting at Odd Fellows hail
tomorrow night for the purpose of for
mally placing its candidate in the field.
There is practically no doubt that Alder
man II. T. Willink @ill be the man.
As it is necessary, according to law,
for the registration books to close TWEEN
ty days before the election in order to
give the regis trars time TO prepare the
lists, only to-day and tomorrow are left
for voters to register. The books will be
kept open both days from o'clock a. m.

and retained possession of 1t, refusing to
advance any money on it. Ward came
along shortly after and gave a descrip-
ton of the watch. saying that such a
watch had been stolen and the owner had
sent him to look for it. He was so persis-

Mr.. Strauss notified the police and De-

Ward.
Ward told Acting Mayor Screven that
another negro had met him on the street
and asked him to get the watch out of
the shop, saying he had just left it there.
The detectives think they viii catch the
negro who brought the watch to the pawn
shop and that he will prove to have been
a partner of Wards.

for the grounding of vessels between the

Capt. d. G. Purse has taken up the MAJ

had some correspondence with regard %
it, with Col. Lester, who is now in Wash

channel should be properly lighted in
order that the port might have no draw
back by reason of the grounding of YES

were defective.
In reply Col Lester asked for some
statement with regard to the matter from
some of the river navigators, to the end
that he might know how TO proceed in
the matter and what to ask for. Capt

EASTERN FISH ARRIVE.
A Carload in Fine Condition
Received From Quincy.
Illinois.
Some VIII Be Kept for Breeding
and Others Liberated in
Inland Lakes.

After very successful trip of four days
from Quincy, ILL.,, carload of young food
fish from Eastern waters arrived at the
Oakland mole yesterday morning. The
shipment comprises number of varieties
much esteemed for table use by Eastern
epicures, including large-mouth black bass,
white bass, Yarmouth bass, sun perch,
gogg.e-eyed perch, yellow perch and China
catfish.
The white bass is an extremely gamy
and wary fish and will prove very accept
able addition to the limited list of game
fishes found in California waters.
Soon after the car arrived the Fish and
Game Commissioners visited it at the mole,
finding that not more than twenty fish had
died en- route, and that the survivors were
as healthy and lively as when they left
their native waters.
where half of the cargo will be placed in
tanks for breeding purposes, with view
to stocking streams suitable Tor the diff
ferent varieties.
The remainder will be liberated in a
number of large streams and lakes. Some
of the perch and bass will be placed IN the
San joaquin and others in Lake Tahoe
and Clear Lake. No streams which now
contain trout will receive any of the fish,
as both bass and perch are prone to feed on
minnows of any kind, and would soon
clear the trout out of stream or lake.
The Commissioners forget that the trout
and bass in San Andreas Lake seem to get
along very well together, although the
trout are by far more numerous. The car
in which the fish were shipped to this
State at the request of the Game and Fish
Commissioners is one of the three belong
ing to the Government which have proved
very successful in the transmission of fish.
It contains thirty-two compartments,
sixteen on each side, each tank holding
thirty two gallons of water. By an ingen-
ious arrangement of pipes running through
the tanks air is forced into the water, thus
overcoming one of the most serious obsta-
cles which has hitherto hampered the
Commissioners in their efforts to get fresh
fry from the East in condition to be re-
leased in strange waters.
The water was changed frequently and
cooled before being let into the tanks by
running over ice, ton of which was con-
stantly kept on the car.
Now that the question of shipping the
young fish safely has been solved more and
larger consignments will be sent, and next
year the experiment of Matching fish en-
route will be tried.
Brown trout will be the next to arrive.

K. Shfono was subjected to very rigid exam
inatiOn by Mr.. Dam. He was told If he did not
tell the truth he would be sent to San Quentin,
SO he had to tell the following:
"On the steamer City of Peking there were
t Lofty t farmers, VINO came 70 my MOTEL: OF
and the remainder went to the Sacramento
Valley. One .Nishuichi came with them from
Japan. He went to Japan and brought them
here Before going to Japan he stopped at my
house. They were to get 81 per day here. On
the steamer China I received postal from
hotel in Japan kept by one Maui, saying he
was sending seven men to me. The men did
not come to my house"
He was asked how much Japanese farmers
got in Japan and he said 1213 cents per day, and
he did not know how they had $50 apiece
on landing here.
Because the investigation was so rigid he
told what was false, thinking he would get
through quick. Why was it necessary for him
to give such damaging testimony?
In regard to the threat made by Deputy
Dam it is only fair to state that Shiono
was not threatened until after he had
