AT The CHUTES.
The Relay Race Ended-A Balloon in
the Fog.

The Relay Race Ended-A Balloon in
the Fog.
The relay race, to test speed in moving
pedals, which commenced at the Chutes
last Monday night, was brought to close
yesterday afternoon. 1t was a 35- mile
race, five miles each evening and five yes
terday.
After the third race had been run, and
each awarded to the boys of the California
Club, the San Francisco Clubs boys set
up claim that the machines had been
tampered with and refused to proceed fur
ther. The California boys continued, and
the race was awarded to them, but they
refused to accept the cup that was raced
for, other than to hold it for a challenge
The winners of individual prizes were
BirdsalI, five miles in 9:38, Hansen in 10 :18
and Olsen in 10 80.
Professor Frank Miller made an ascent
from the grounds in a balloon, in the
presence OF a large mum Der of people, but
In less than minute he was lost in the
fog. He came down, uniniure in the
German Hospital grounds.
Next Sunday Arion, who has crossed
the Niagara twelve times on a wire, will
appear at the Chuies and will ride
bicycle on a wire, he and the wheel being

a bureau of labor was referred to the Labor
Commission, who declared that the bureau
should be made a practical institution in
its working. 1t, however, contained a
clause relating to unemployment de-
partment. as follows: ITO exclude from
the Office and enter upon book kept for
that purpose the name of any person
whom he shall find to be unreliable, ire
sponsible or otherwise Objectionable"
Furuseth here again saw the blacklist
and its dangers sticking out; for which
reason he protested against the bill Com
missioner Fitzgerald accepted the objec-
tion, which he said he believed to be well
founded. The Objectionable clause was
expunged.
An act to define the duties and liabilities
of EN- ploy ment agents (No. 81, referred by
the committee to the Labor Commis-
sioner. was next taken up. The Commits
sioner read his report TO the Governor on
this subject, and the bill was unanimously
adopted without discussion.
at the former session of the convention
the act fixing the minimum rate of COM
pensation for labor on public work at 81 a
day was presented TO the com mittee with
the suggestion that 'tunskiled" be in
serted to qualify labor. The com mittee
recommended the bill without change,
which recommendation was unanimously
adopted.
The act No. 81 to add to the political
code two sections regulating the hours of
labor of persons employed in bakeries,
limiting the time to len hours, was re-
ported unfavora5lv by the com mittee in
the belief that it would be beyond the
power of the State to enforce the law if
passed. Action was deferred until the
next meeting, by which time there will be
an opinlon on the bill from the Attorney
General.
An act as proposed to enforce the prompt
payment OF the wages of laborers in law
full money of the United States contained
clause which the committee believed
was equivalent to Imprisonment fer debt
due to labor. 1t was accordingly submit
ted for Interpretation. This act deals
with payment of laborers In checks, and
it makes it a misdemeanor punishable by
fine of $500 or. imprisonment for thirty
to sixty days to fail to redeem time checks.
1t was adopted with the insertion of a
clause excepting cases of insolvency from
punishment.
The act providing for the branding of
all articles manufactured in prisons was
generally held 10 be most important one
to labor. The bill was referred back to
the committee for information on the ex-
clusion of prison made goods from the
State or compulsory branding OF all such
goods coming into California.
The convention adjourned until next
Sunday afternoon.

ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNG MEN
A Large Gathering and In teresting Ad-

A Large Gathering and In teresting Ad-
dresses at Y. M. @. A. Hall.
A mass-meeting of the mem bers of the
Young Mems Christian Associ ton and
their friends took place at the Association
Hall, corner of Ellis and Mason streets,
Yesterday afternoon. The hall was
crowded. General Secretary Mccoy pre-
sided. The famous Moody quartet sang
several songs in way to interest and
arouse every one.
G. G. Michener. secretary of the Inter-
national College Mem bership of the Y. M.
G. A., made the opening address. He
spoke of the great work that was being
carried on among the students of the
country.
John L. Speares, State secretary, fol-
lowed in a brief address, in which he spoke
OF the different classes reached by the as
sociation. It was doing a work, he said
that the churches could not do. ssThe
variety of the work." he continued, sis so
great that no one need be left out of it's
influence"
After the quartet had sung "Rock of
Ages d. Edward Collins, the banker of
Oakland and chairman of the State COM
mittee, spoke on the truths of the Bible.
He gave some illustrations from his own
experience and observation in proof of
the statements OF Holy Writ.
A farewell meeting was held in the even
ing, which was also well attended.

A Forced Armistice Holds the

Quiet.
MANY QUEUED TERR0RIZED.
The Tongs Are Even on Murders and
Are Looking for the Chinese
Consul's Scalp.
MANY QUEUED TERRoRIzED.

There is condition OF unrest among
the Chinese in this City. The action of
the Chinese Consul who is supposed to
have obeyed orders from Washington and
caused the breaking up of few high
binder headquarters, is an entirely new
departure in the warfare that has waged
for all these years, and it has added an
other element 10 the strife.
The Be On Tong and Be Leong Tong So
cieties, two factions in one same family,
have been at outs for more than year,
each having murdered two of the other
branch's fighting men.
Under the ordinary rule observed by the
highbinders of the Kong Chow Associ-
alton, to which these two tong families
belong, there would be declared an in
definite armistice. Not so in this case,
however, because each blames the other
as the instigator of the smashing-up re-
gime which the Chinese Consul is believed
TO have inaugurated.
Incidentally, the representative of the
Chinese Government here has surrounded
himself with all the safeguards at hand,
and it is as difficult these days to see and
talk to him as it was with the late
lamented Gear, when dynamite bombs
were supposed to grow on trees in Russia.
There is, therefore, every likelihood that
some celestial will be punctured by knife
or bullet very soon, and the Chinatown
squad of policemen under Sergeant Helms
has been REINFORCED with a dozen detec-
tives, ununiformed, under Sergeant An
derson, and half dozen extramen under
Sergeant Price. A particularly careful
watch is being kept on the Chinese Con-
sulate.
The Consul is said to be the friend of
the Sam Yup people on this coast as
against the See Yups, who are more
numerous. although less wealthy. The
latter have recently undertaken to do
what the United States Government has
never been able TO accomplishments is to
get census of the Chinese on this coast.
Their purpose is TO show that they-the
See Yups-far outnumber the Sam Yups,
and that they are entitled to have another
and friendly Consul here, or else kill the
one who is not friendly.
These Chinese have peculiar ways in
which to do business. Yesterday, when
Policeman J. H. Crowley went into
an overall factory on Merchant
street, to serve warrant on
Quong Ho for robbing Wong Sing in q
Dupont-street store some days ago, he was
surrounded by a score of threatening
heathens who undertook to liberate their
friend. Crowley managed to draw his
pistol and back out of the place dragging
his prisoner along with him. There was
no blood shed, but it was not that the
Chinese tried to stop the effusion.

ing tonr of the great San Joaquin Valley.
The general visited many strange places
since he started on his canvass. He
made it his special mission to wander

the CANYONS of the coast range and of the
Sierra foothills, where the lumber man
lurketh in his lair and where the ex-wool

Among these people General Pierce did
excellent missionary work.
"Everywhe1e | found the undercurrent

JULIA MARLOWE TABER,
The Famous Actress on Her
Study of Shakespeare
in Florence.
The Bard of Avon Perpetual Spring
Appealing to Audiences of
Whatever Class

Julia Marlowe Taber and Robert Taber,
who are to appear tonight i'll "Romola"
at the Baldwin. arrived here yesterday
and are at the Palace. They came across
the country from Denver, playing only at
is only recently that they returned to
AM erica from Europe.
As julia Marlowe, the noted actress ap-
peared here four years ago. 1t is the only
time she ever appeared before San Fran
cisco audience. Aside from 'Romola,
which is founded on George Eliot's novel,
all the other plays which the Tabers will
present here are Shakespearean. No less
than six OF these are to be presented.
Mrs. Taber alluded to them last night.
She and Mr.. Taber had just got little
rested after q hard trip over the alkali
deserts. 1t has been excessively hot there,
the trains were slow and this made the
trip doubly hard.
Notwithstanding this. however, Mr.. and
Mrs. Taber were looking very we'll. They
spent a great deal of time in Florence and
other parts of Italy, and IN England,
where Mrs. MarloweTaber made speciality
OF studying Shakespearean traditions.
81 think no other plays can equal these,
the lady said; 1--WE always go back to
them, no matter what may change us Tor
the moment. They are a perpetual spring.
l find that no matter where go. to the
great city or to the frontier, the people all
like and appreciate them. The people of
the wilds are as quick to see and applaud
the great points in them as any other.
1--WE had no adventures while en- route
from New York, but while crossing the At
lantic on La Burgogne the steamer was
enabled to pick up another vessel, as you
have, perhaps, noticed by the dispatches.
Though / understand the political contest
is being waged warmly here, think 1T is
nothing 10 what it Is in the East, where
bands and professions are parading all the
time, and where speakers on one side or
another are holdingthe attention OF great
crowds.
"Bur as theatrical people do not have
the local interest TO appeal to them which
appertains to others, they cannot be said
to be alb orbed in politics as others are.'
On the completion of the two weeks. for
which the Tabers are to appear here they
