LONDON, January 26.-The newspapers
here comment on French, Russian and
German reinforcements going to tine far

made to the British fleet, and say: Hap
PLY. Great Britain has the countenance in
stead of the hostility of the United States
But, then, the Japanese navy Is a factor
of uncertain value"
An article in the Pail Mall Gazette says:
1.-THE German fleet may be said to hold
the balance between England and japan
on one hand and France and Russia on
the other, to have the position of arbiter
the very thing the kaiser would desire and
with the force he possesses in the far east
he can dictate terms. -.
IF the position is really critical, we run
grave risk in leaving our feet weak
In fact, We prepare for an open contest

 FROM THE CAR
Thomas L. Hill Sues the Sutter. Street Railway Company and Wins.
Presented . Transfer, Which a Con. duotor on the Road Refused to Accept

On December 2 last Thomas r. rJiu O dentist, boarded an eastbound S,,t+or , street carr and having paid his faro ,a- ceived from the conductor +rorsfo. ticket entitling him to continue his ioIr- ney upon the intersecting car Ines o+ Polk street, both lines being operated bv the same company.
 Upon arriving at Polk street, after delay of about two minutes Hiu boarded the first southbound. Larkin street car which arrived after. he left the .SutTar street car and seated himself therein Al the same time Thomas Martin, a stranger to Hill, also seated himself in the san,a car. When the car neared the corner of Iarkin and Post streets the conductor named Luckenback, demanded his fare and. Hill handed him the transfer ticket received by him from the conductor of the Sutter street car. Luckenbacl. upon receiving the ticket, looked at his watch and informed Hill that he would have to pay another fare, as his transfer was mo good"
 After explaining to the conductor that " he had just received the transfer from the conductor of the Sutter street line that 1t was a good transfer ticket and that he would not pay another fare, he was told that unless he did pay another fare he would have to get off the car This both Hill and Martin refused to do. the transfer of the latter being similar to that of Hill.
 Thereupon the conductor called to his aid the gripman, named Cutler, who as- sisted the conductor in ejecting Hill from the car.
 Subsequently,. on January 12, Hill, through his attorney, L. E. Phillips, brought suit in the Justice Court for the sum of $299 as damages, which action was tried before Justice c. W. F. Cook against the Sutter street railroad for the sum of $40 and all costs of suit.

DESTRUCTION OF TROUT.
Woodchoppers Explode Dynamite in the Deep Pools of Lagunitas
 GreeE

The woodchoppers who are cutting timber on the banks of Lagunitas Creek have been killing trout for some weeks past by means of giant powder cartridges, and the Fish Commissioners have been notified of the fact.
 The following letter to The Call. from Camp Taylor speaks for itself: *.
 Sporting Editor Call: Seeing that The Call Is the only friend of the angler and that it Is always ready and willing to. speak the truth regarding infractions of the: fish, and game laws permit me to say that disgraceful state of affairs exists at present on. Lagunitas Creek
 The men who are chopping wood. for the Shaf- ter or Howard estate. on Lagunitas Creek are daily destroying trout by placing explosives in. the. deep. pools . Large numbers" of dead trout can be seen in the pools but the dast- ardly work goes on regularly without interrup- ton. 1 understand that deputy fish commits
 sioner is here to~look after ways that dark and wicked, but for: some: reason, probably best known. to himself, no arrests have been made so far. I think the railroad company should interest itself in punishfng those. de mons, who have already destroyed one of: the best fishing streams within several hundred miles of San Francisco by the most outrageous system of fish. destruction.@ Yours truly: ...

CHURCH PEOPLE
 WILL REUNITE
Preparations Being Made in Anticipation of St.. Pat
 rick's Bazaar. :~ :~:
A Meeting Is Held and Officers Ap- pointed to Arrange the Pre-
 linainaries.

Every effort Is being made by the clergy, and those of the laity appointed to the task of arranging the preliminaries of the coming bazaar to be held next Sep tember In aid of the building fund of St Patricks Church, to make the coming event a success.
 AS this Is the first time that public charity has ever been asked or solicited by this, the oldest parish church in the city 1t is expected that for this reason alone the old edifice on Mission street should be patronized and assisted The church needs repairing and the house adjoining. the residence of the clergy is actually crumbling with decay. It is to make the needed repairs and put the church and parochial residence in a pre- sentable condition that the bazaar is to be held. :.
 The most representative meeting ever held by the gentlemen of the parish took place Friday evening, being called by Father Brennan for the purpose of stim- ulating an interest in the coming baza AT among the young men of the parish. He encouraged them by telling them that the ladies of the parish were. working and making every effort to make the coming event a success, and in consider ation of this he expected them to take an active interest in the affairs of that church.
 T. l.. Doran was elected chairman and James F. O'Brien secretary.
 TO carry out the wishes of Father Brennan, the chairman, Mir Doran, called special meeting for this evening to map out decisive course of action and tn show that the gentlemen of the parish are taking an interest in the bazaar. Ii was decided that the committee should take hold of the annual reunion of mar ishioners and their friends and that they should ask all the gentlemen of the parish to help to make the reunion a success
 Fl Campo was selected as the place for the reunion because it Is easily accessible and because persons can come and go al convenience, as special steamers have been chartered for the day They u,ilI make trips to suit all.
 Saturday, May Fist, has been selected for the outing, as on Saturday it is easier any other week day.
 The members of the committee of ar rangement were appointed as follows:
 J. M. Lynch. W: Fitzgerald, Thomas kusicki Fans M M. Kusick, John Mcintosh, nancy, James Canning, Wm. Garritz. John Daughney, H. Porter, John Flood George Dougherty, l.. Conlin, M Burns D. Ahern, T.

A HOWL: FROM NOE VALLEY.
Residents Indignant Over the Ac- tion of the School Directors on
 School Accommodation.

Indignant would be a mild phrase to use in connection with the feelings or the residents of Noe Valley when they read in yesterday mornings Call the action taken by the School Directors on the pr, vious evening regarding school accommo- dation for the c4444dren of that section of the city.
 By careful canvass of the district ly- ing west of Castro street, and known as Noe Valley, 1t was ascertained that ..ere are 400 children of school age for which there Is no accommodation in the build ing known as the i4ick School.
 This representation has been made to the School Directors for more than one year, and yet nothing has been done to remedy the evil.
 The residents of the valley asked that tolerably fair building at the corner of Hoffman avenue and Twenty-fifth street might be temporarily rented until such time as the next annual tax levy should be made, when proper school building could be erected for the wan S of that portion of the. city, which is a growing one and in which the increas SC of children would justify the expenditure.
 Even this humble request. was refused, and by it the 400 school children are de- priyed of an edueation. .
 From the present temper of the resi- dents of the west of Castro street it may be expected that at the next meeting of the improvement: club of this district some warm. speeches may. be heard in re- gard to the.action of the present ''exem- plary,' Directors, who have the manage ment of the schools of this city in their keeping. =: =:

TO EXTEND BUSH STREET.
Property Owners in the Richmond District Will Cooperate With
 the Anti ti-Boulevardists. :"

The determined fight made by the ma- jority of the property owners on Bush street to prevent that thoroughfare from being declared a boulevard has brought to their assistance the Richmond residents The movement now on foot Is to have the street cut through Laurel Hill Cemetery, and by this means tap tho R chmond dis trict The loss, if any, to tie cemetery. would be but trif1ing in comparison to the benefits gained by the Richmond people This Is what prompts them to cooperate with the Bush street property owners in asking for this concession from the direc- Supervisors.
 At the next meeting of the Point Lobos Improvement Club action will be taken looking to this acquisition for the benefit of the entire section lying west of Central avenue AS 1t is now, the only street over which travel can be had to the Richmond district is over Geary street. By cutting Bush street through 1t will lead directly into the center of the district and connect with First avenue, which has lately been bituminized from the Presidio to Golden Gate Park.
 The additional support of the Polk street improvement Clubsis promised to this movement. The merchants on this street claim tha. Bush streettfs the only street by which they can directly reach the business pordon of the city To shut this off from them means to send them round by Pacific street, a distance of two miles, with an inferior grade.
 The extending of the street through the cemetery meets with the approval of the Polk-street Club, as 1t will be the means of tapping Richmond and bringing a DOT tion of the trade into Polk street
 This club will make a determined effort before the Supervisors to have provision made in the next contract for lighting the streets by which the principal streets of the city will have electric lights sus- pended over the center of the streets, as was done last year. In this movement Polk street was the leader, and the other streets followed, until all of the principal business streets in the city became H. luminated.
 The extension of Bush street will give a direct opening into California street west of Central avenue via Cliff street a small street of no consequence as a thoroughfare as it Is, but which when joined to Bush street, will become a lead ing avenue between the eastern and west ern portions of the city.
