Go tell your Englisn friends that you to-day have withessed an exhibition of American manhood and honesty.” That is the universal verdief.

Caminetti explained that Govern- ment ownership need not be general and that the Government did not need to go into the transportation business, He held at the Government ownership of the roadbeds of trunk lines hetween the cen- ters of production and the markets open to all on equal rates of toll would hold in check the tendency to create monopolies. management, he held, could be under supervision of the army, and there wot could e hoped for under private manage- mer: Mr. Caminetti spoke of the opinion given in 1892 by the Commissioner of Railroads that the vernment could not operate railroads profitably. He contended that the Government should not want to make profits. At the same time he quoted the experiences of Belgium, Prussia, Russia and Mexico to show that not only did the Government railroads earn money but that they were of inestimable value’in de- veloping latent resources. He said: What other nations have done and are now doing we can do. I do noi despair of success. Orly a few years ago leading statesmen denied the right of the General Goverument to expend money in river improvements. NOW Do appropriation is more popular and none more beneficial in re- sults, Thus it will be with Government rail- roads to and from the grest centers of com- merce and production In case of the non-payment of the debt due by the Pacific railroadsa magnifi tunity is presented for the beginning ol the new era in transportation, which will emanci- pate the toilers and producers of the land and scatter its benefits in every direction. Mr. Caminetti said at the time that the vast interests of the Soutlhiern Pacific wouid make it once more attempt to get favor- able legislation. He then explained cer- tain amendments he had intended to make Lad the bill been read completely, which, he said, would preserve to the Government certain’ privileges worth untold millions which would be lost were the Reilly bill passed in its original form. He compared the cost, $95,950,347, of the Pacilic rail- roads with their capitalization of $268,30: 462. Fares and freights he claimed, should be regulated by right and not by a com- parison with this fictitious capitalization. in concluding his convineing array’of facts and figures he said in speaking of the tem- porary victory of the opponents of the Reilly bill: It is to be hoped that Congress will not re- verse the judgment it has just rendered. To Teireat now would wipe away a record which, it ndhered 10, will cause the Fiity-third Con- £ress 1o live In history as having made the first turn in that long lane which the oppressed toil- ers of the country hud almost. believed had no ing.

That was the only way,” said the Mayor, “that this could be got before the men chosen to represent the people. The more I think of the matter the more I be- come convinced that the people are utterly indifferent to their interests. 1f they paid one-tenth the attention to the funding bill that they do to the Brown-Davidson scan- dal the chances for the passage of the bill would be greatly diminished. The Senate committee on the Pacific | railroads 1s no better for the coast than | the one named in the House of Repre- sentatives. It is the same thing—all for the octopus. Itisa shame to think that those who are representatives, or sup- Josed to be representatives, of the people n lend themselves to assist such a scheme as the octopus will try to engineer through Congress and lay themselves open to a charge of bribery.” There is an im- mense sack to be used the octopus to carry this measure, and it will be used fre | “Talk about the glorious American flag and patriotism and the Monroe doctrine with regard to 2 little piece of land down in South America that no onecares about!

Still it is money | more than men we need just now. Itis | money, for without money men cannot be | sent on to Washington.

The Scotch Evangelist Speaks of His Footracing Experiences. Donald Currie, the Scotch evangelist, lectured yesterday aftcrnoon to members of the Young Men’s Christian Association. Mr. Currie gave an account of his life as a footracer and backer of footracers when he was well known over two continents be- fore his conversion. | He told of his efforts as an evangelist and gave an interesting account of his ex- periences as such among his former as- | sociates. the footracers of thirty or forty | years ago. | Next Sunday Dr. Voorsanger will deliver | the afternoon lecture to young men, tak- ing for his subject, “Character Building and Social Evils.”” This will be the first of a series of lectures to be given by promi- nent ministers of the City. D Knights of the Forest. The seventh grand annual banguet of the Knights of the Forest recently, at Scottish | Hull, wes & highly successful affair in Cale- | donian fraternal circles, I¢ was the most | numerously atiended of any yet given by the organization. Pipe-Major Neil Lindsay sup- plied lively music (o an appreciative audience. John Spence installed the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Wisliax C.

The Season of Rifle-Firing at Targets in the West Opened Au- spiciously. Yesterday was the first competition day of the year at Schuetzen Park and Philo Jacoby was the busiest man in Marin County. He conducted the great match in all of its innumerable features, and kept marksmen, markers and scorers at their various posts. He helped Captain Schue- mann to make an admirable success of the affair at Schuetzen Park. The affair was eminently successful and it has been already recorded in the club annals as one of the greatest festivals ever held. The festival matches were for §125 in cash prizes. The first prize in the shoot- ing was won by Brunotte with a total of 97 rings out of a possible 100. The other marksmen won prizes in the following 96, Schuster 95, order: Strecker 96, John Utschlg Finking 94, A. Utschig 94, McLaughlin 94, Jacoby 93, Brown 93, Sanger 93, A. Enrenpiort 93, Burmeister 92, Thierbach 92, Reubold 92, Mits Lizzie Utschig 92, Horstmann 92, Faktor 92, Kuhls 91, Bendel 91, W. Ehrenpfort 90. The first bullseye was by Reubold; the last by Utschig in the forenocon. <Thier- bach made the first in the afternoon, and John Utschig wound up the shoot with the last 1ed flag of the day. The greatest number of red flags was scored by John Utschig. He found the target for nineteen of them. Philo Jacoby got seven and Sanger six. The monthly medal shoot of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club resulted in class scores in the following order First champion_class, Strec -hampion class, Klein 41 inss, Bendel 20; secoud elass, Finking '407; fourth class, inking first best 'shot, Schuster r 4 econd ing 3 last best shot.

The Union Guard Rirfe Club, composed of members of the National Guard com- pany known as Bof the Third Infantry before the recent reorganization, did some shooting at the huetzen Park range. The scores recorded were the following Riehl 46, Brown 44, Kennedy 43, Ehrenpf 43, R 4 Walden 40, Brusher 41, Jacoby arnanz 39, Atwater 37, Davis 36, Kerchner 35.

The firing of members of the shooting section of the Grutli Verein resulted as follows: | hret 416; first class € nd class, Frei 414; Hauser 372. The first best shot was fired by Charles Ott, and wasa 24. John Freci scored 24 for the last best shot prize. ——— SHELL MOUND SHOOTING. An Interesting Score Riddle Grows Out of a Frlendly Match. There was considerable interesting shoot- ing yesterday at the Shell Mound range. The intercst was not so much in the num- bers shooting or the importance of the events as in the points involved. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club was repre- | sented by its most enthusiastic marksmen, | and considerable time devoted to ex- perimenting with F. O. Young’s new target. In order to put the 200-yard target | 10 a test Young fired several strings of | shots, and his best ten, with muzzie rest, was 24, 24, 23, 25, 23, 25, 24, 24, 24, 25, or a | total of 2 points. These scores were estimated on the basis of the German point target. A. H. Pape fired on the standard target and made 99 out of a pos- | sible 100. On_the pistol and small rifle range a number of excellent practice scores were made. Ed Hovey and Charles Daiss did some excellent work, the former making 93 with the target pistol. Mr. and Mrs. L. tutherford also fired many shots. The {lady did remarkably well with the small i rifle, off-hand, making two scores of 90. Two of the most enthusiastic members of the Columbia Pistol and Ritle Club came from Big Pine, Inyo County, and they showed wonderful improvement over their former work. They were Ed- ward Trudo and Fred Conn. The militia men have cause to congratu- late themselvesover theimprovement they have made in rifle-shooting during the past few rs. The force in the adjutant- general’s office at Sacramento has récently been hard at work compiling the target scores of 1895, and the result shows an astonishing improvement over those of former years. ‘These scores were made by boys and veterans, in hot valleys with glimmering atmosphere ana beside the Windy seashore. The scores in the adjutant-general’s of- fice show that in 1892 there were but thir. teen members in the National Guard who had averaged 90 per cent. In 1893 this number had increased to thirty-one, in 1894 to fifty-nine, and last year there were over 106, The next National Guard championship shoot, which will be held next month, promises to be one of the most interesting events of the kind ever held in the State. Adjutant-General Allen, now at Sacra- mento, states that it will probably con- sume two days or more, but caniot say where 1t will be held, as this will depend largely on what the people are willing to do toward taking it to Sacramento. Yesterday the members of Company A of the Fifth, stationed at Oakland, held a practice score with the following results: Robinson 20, Donahoe 33, McCormick 42, Peterson 37, Deeds 35, G. W. Puckett 38, Slack 85, Alvord 39, F. Poulter 55, S. A. Puckett 42, Dickinson 39, Downie 40, Tymerson 33, Vaughn 42, Captain Poulter 42, Litilefield 41, Jahnegain 30, Feliows 19, Leary 32, Mc Killican 35. Three of A’s men shot a friendly match of ten shots each, which resulted in a tangle that they would like to have the authorities in military shooting decide. 1t was a complication that might not arise in a thousand years. The contestants were J. M. Vaughn, G. W. Puckett and W. J. Downie. The conditions wers that Downie gave Puckett two points and | vide first and second mone; this riddle by rifle-shooting authorities would be very interesting. The regular shoot of the Krieger Verein sharp-shooters resulted in the following scores: Champion class, J. Engisch 841 points; first class, N. Biegel 381; second class, M. Lenge- feld 1 hird-class, D. Oeltgen 288; first best shot, E. Oeltgen 24; last best shot, J. Engisch 24; most bullseyes, George Hetzel. RIFLEMEN TO UNITE. Preparations for the Formation of the Proposed Rlfle Association in the State. A number of the prominent National Guard officers interested in the devel- opment of rifle practice at the military ranges have been working for some time in the direction of arranging a meeting of military authorities and establishing a State Rifle Association. Matters have now been pretty well prepared and it is ex- pected that the convention of military marksmen will be held before the end of the month. The promotion of the well- being of the military marksmen has been discussed at headquarters, and Generals Dimond, Barrett and Warfield have ex pressed themselves in favor of some plan by which such an end might be attained. The commanding officers of regiments and companies throughout the State have been consulted with regard to the project of concentrating all the enthusiasm in mi itary marksmanshipin a ritleman’s asso- ciation, and the scheme hasbeen generally approved. The encoura ement accorded it has been of such a gratifying kind that several of the City officers propose to hold a meeting immediutely. It is intended to combine all the regi- ments in ti.e State in one orgamzation for the development of the rifle-firing s ence. Representatives from the several brigades and regiments will be present to suggest methods by which this may be done and a temporary organization will pe | effected at once. Tie new rifle association will very prob- ably be organized on the lines of the old association which had controi of the prac- tice some few years ago. g There is considerable talk in the service | about securing a range on this side of the | bay, and it is intended that preparations ! sbail be made at once to send a crack team | from California to the Eastern competi- | tions in the autumn. | COURSIG AT OCEAY VIEW, Little Bob and Magpie Divided the Bulk of the Money Yesterday. | Tempest and Butcher Boy Were Run- ners Up—Good Hares and | a Big Crowd. ‘ Three hundred followers of the leash saw a thirty-dog stake run down to the finals at Ocean View coursing park yes terday and witnessed some of the best runninz that has taken place on this coast | was served, affer whi The grain-fed hares in | muined to | the paddock were in a running mood, and, for many days beyond a little aifficulty in wetting them into the open field, were all that could be desired. When they did reach the open ground it | Leo took the fleetest of the hounds to run them down, and out of the twenty-nine coursed thirteen escaped scot free to fur- nish sport ior another day. One crafty old fellow with a white hind leg came out for his fourth bout with the dogs, and in spite of his best efforts speedy Magpie was unable to catch him. The pool-box did a heavy business, the occasional win of a short-ender keeping those who objescted to putting up long odds on favorites in good humor. Follow- ing is the result of the run-dow; Richmond kennei’s Richmond Boy beat Fal con keunel's White Rose, . Ryan's Magpie beat T. Flynn’s Bowery Boy, Villa kennel’s Maud G beat J.

Little Bob and Magpie went out for the final, but as the judge lost sight of them in the darkness after a short half of the field had been covered he declared it “no course.”” The two owners decided to di- ney. but for the sake of settling the question of the merits of the two hounds the final will be run off before the beginning of the §1 stake, which will be run on Sunday ne: Butcher Boy and Tempest come in for third and fourth prizes, respectively.

Pacifics Piled Up Seven Runs in the Lucky Seventh by a Sequence of Star Batters. Manager Kennedy of the Olympic Ctub smiles blandly, for his baseball boys have | refreshmen won their tenth game from the Pacifics, although in yesterday’s exciting contest the latter team had such star professional aid as Treadway, Lang and Stanley added to their already remarkable collection of | disengaged heroes of the once-remunera- tive professional field. The features of the game were the bat- ting of Monahan, who got three doubles and a sacrifice; the base-stealing of Mertes, who took three bags in oneinning, and the not unexpected lucky stick work of the Pacifics when they bunched their hitters in the seventh and pulled them- selves out of a very deep hole.

Speeches and Song at the Second Uni- tarian Church—He Referred to the Brown Scandal. The Rev. K. J.

E. R. Dodson,a prayer of in- stallation by the Rev. Dr. Stebbins, a ser- mon by the Rev. C. W. Wendte, the charge to the church by the Rev. W. G. Eliot Jr., the charge to the pastor by the Rev. E. B.

Its best work should be subordinated’ to the main work—the spir- itual intluence. The church primarily is not a social institution. The social side is only a factor in the altainment of the supreme pur- pose. In his personal remarks to the congre- gation the Rev. A.J. Wells referred feel- ingly to the co-operation of his wife. Continuing he remarked: *‘The longer I live the more 1 am disposed to be a man and the less a minister. The tendency to-day is to honor the man and not the office. “I think that is what hundreds of thousands of people in this City believe in regard to the present cloud that darkens the cuurch horizon. Always goodness will be the more valuable quality in a minister as well as in any other office.” At a quarter to 8 evening services began and were a general continuation of the afternoon’s congregational welcome to the new pastor. The Rev. N. A. Haskell of San Jose and the Rev. Eliza Tupper ilkes of Palo Alto were among the speakers of the evening. PARK AND BEACH. Contributions to the Museum—The Sutro Road—Balloon Ascension.

It was noticed that nearly all of them kept off the main drive after reaching the cyclers’ special track, and they kept on that to and from the beach. A large force of carpenters were at work vesterday putting up the sheds north of the new Cliff House, and many men were at work on the finishing touches in the new house. It is expected that it will be ready in about ten days. ‘The cars of the Sutro line were run over the line from the carhouse east Saturday and found to travel nicely. The line to the west cannot be tested on account of the injunction that prevents the cars from being run over the Knights of Pythias Cemetery. This matter will probably ve settled this week, and then the Sutro road, the Sutro baths and the Cliff House will be opened simultaneously. At the Haight-street grounds the officers of the Society for the Prevertion of Cruelty to Children announced their intention of preventing the ascension of the balloon on the ground that Miss Essie Viola, who was announced to make the ascent, was a minor.
