The principal featurs will be the tournament at Mon!erey. anEnTior i THE WHEELMEN. Various Cycling Events Scheduled for Next Monday—The Sacra- mento Mest. There are no track races scheduled for to-morrow, and comsequentiy all the in- terest of the riders and meet-followers is centered in the two meets Monday. The most important of these is the one be conducted by the Capital City Wheel. men on their new three-lap board track a Sacramento. { The programme of events for this meet | 1s as follows: One mile novice, one mil open and one mile handicap, professienal two-thirds of a mile open and one mile handicap, amateur.

There is also 2 meet on the cards for Fresne, but the races are all amateur events, and this and the distance will pre- vent many wheelmen goinz down from here. The Sacramento meet, however, will draw well from this City. All the prominent officials of the association will attend and many of the ciub men. Most of them will go up this afternoon or to- morrow and make a two days’ stay of it. Much of the success already foreshad- owed for the Sacramento meet is due to the untiring efforts of Bcott F. Ennis, president of the club there; C. J. At- water, secretary of the race-meet commit- tee; Mr. Woodson of the Record-Union, L. Stewart Upson, Horace Crocker and a few other enthusiasts. The membership committee of the C. A, C. C. visited the California Cycling Club last Mondasy evening and was very cor- dially received. They addressed a large gethering of the Californias on the bene- 1its of membersnip in the association. On motion of C. Michener it was unanimously decided that the entire membership of the ciub should join the association. How wil! Mr. Strong like that, I wonder?

Tne California Cycling Club will hold a five-mile handicap road race over the San Leandro-Haywards course on Sunday, July 25, The entry-list already contains about twenty names of riders, all of whom are in active trainine for the event, and it promises to be one of the best five- milers of the season. ‘Watsonville is to have 2 meet on July 4, and the cracks of Pajaro Valley are key- ing up their speed to the top notch for the contests. Neal, one of the best riders of the locality, was injured recently by running into a buggy waile training, and cannot comvete in consegrence. Entries for the annual twenty-mile road race of the associated clubs will close with Chairman Adams of the road-racing com- mitiee Mondzy, July 5. They should be sent to bis office in the Phelan building. The Bay City Wheelmen will hoid a try-out to-morrow at Santa Rosa to select its team for the twenty-mile race. The team will probably be composed of Charies A. Kraft, John L. Davideon, Henry Noonan, Ben Noonan and George Felix, though the try-out may change a man or two on the team. The Alpha (ladies) Cycling Club and the California Cycling Club will havea joint run to Villa di Como, in Marin County, early in July. This place 1s be- coming famed as a resort for cyclers.

In the junior outrigger skiff race Cal- lopy, Cooney and Ochs wili represent the Pioneer Club; F. Bulger and E. Carroll wili wear the Ariel Club colors; Bob Mec- Arthur and some other oarsmen yet to be named will fight the aquatic battle for the South Ena Club; the Alameda Club will be represented by Ayers and Stamer; | the Dolphins will enter a crew later. | In the senior outrigger skiff race Dr. Dennis will represent the South End Club, and the Ariel Club will be represented by McCausiand, Paul and Poelan. The Pioneer, Dolphin, Ariel and South | End Rowing clubs will enter crews to- morrow for the junior barge crew con- test, and all entries must be in before 11 o’clock of the day of the races. The of- ficers of thedav are: Referee, J. T. Sul- livan: starter, W. Thomas; marshal of the | course, James Cronin; timers, Dave Wit- | liamson, Walter Bluke. James McEiroy, ¥rank Staib and W. B. Hinchman; "fixdges, Adam Schubert, Jos Laib, John | Klunder, Richard Calopy, Johnscn Haray, A. Taylor, E. Scullv, M. Tiernan, Fred Ayers, S. Bcovern, M. Collins and Wiliiam Hallett. It was not aecided at last evening's meeting of the rowing committee where the championship races will be held, but it is aimost safe 10 say that the cham- pionships will be decided over the El Campo course in August or September. The principal event in the regatta will be the race between the Whitehall boats from Folsom and Vallejo-sireet wharves and. Meiggs wharf. The entries are the Stewart Menzies, sailled by “Old Man'’ Crowley; the Governor Budd, sailed by P. Crowlev; the Mose Gunst, sailed by J. Sennett; the Chief Lees, sailed by T. Hawkens; the George W. Root, sailed by ‘W. Fiizgerald; the John L. Suilivan, | sailed by “Tommy’’' Hayden; the J. M. Shotwell, sailed by **Mike” Fitzgerald; the R. J. Dobin, sailed by M. Bean; the Shenandoah, sailed by James Farrell; the Martin Bulger, sailed by “Tom’ Murray; the Delaphene, sailed by T. Lyous; the Senator Fair, sailed by W. Clark; the Erin Go Bragh, sailed by W. Fitzgerala; t.e Fred P. Callunden, sailed by Harr; Johnson; and the Volunteer, sailed by S. J. Engel. The course is the usual Corin- thian Yacht Club test, and should the wind be favorable the contest should be a close one. Atthe late regatta at El Campo the Ariels found their expectations rather rudely shaken. To see three of their pet scullers deteated at the very outset was galling and disheartening. It proved a good lesson, however, as McCausland, Paul and Poeian have been training dili- | | Crew | as yet known, but a gocd strong crew will | ceive a well-deserved whippine. | Trockee rivers, or an outing on the lakes | that nestle in the Sierra Nevada Mouan- + from one pound to five pounds in weight; gently for the last two weeks, and are in better forin. Phelan is now thoroughly acquainted with his new skiff, and feels sure that he will keep the others hustling. The men who_will represent the club in the junior skiff are Andrew Carroll and F. Bullanger, two very promising scullers, Itis to be regretted that no provision for a senior race has been made, as the new intermediate crew, that won so hand- ily from the Olympics at El Campo, are very anxious to line up against the Mid- gets. They intend, however, to continue training, and expect to enter for the cham- pionsnip regzatia to be held in the latter part of the year. ‘The personnel of the junior crew to rep- resent the club in to-morrow’s race is not doubtless be chosen. On last Sunday morning over thirty skiffmen left the different boathouses. Skiff-rowing is becoming more popalar every day and some lively races are an ticipated in the next championship re- gatta between juniors and seniors. The Dolphin boys are highly elated over the showing their men made in the last regatta, and if the interest continues they will have two or three barge crewsin the championship races. The Alameda barge crews dislike the idea of always borrowing a boat to race in, and have decided not to race again until they have a barge of their own. The Dolphin junior crew will not row in to-morrow’s regatia, but will enter in the championship events in October. T. J. K-nnedy has justreturned from a vachting cruise, and Mr. Hopkins is en- joying a deserved vacation at Santa Cruz. Alex Pape, the Dolphin crack, is rest- ing prior to training for the club medal race, which he has won once. Tue club regatta wili be held some Sun- day 1n August, and will have to be rowed in heats owing to the number of entries received, Those that have signified their intention of entering are: J. Kennedy, Alex Pape, William Meyer, Al Shields, Gus Pape, T. K. Kunan, W. O. Patch, W. J. Schumacher, R. J. Blennerhassett and Will Laib. Paye will not have such an easy race next time, as a!l the entries are training hard and expect to win. The Doiphins will make an excellent appearance at the regatta to-morrow in their fine six-osred barge, John Wieland. Captain W. O. Patch will be iz command. RS RO ROD AND CREEL. Anglers Enjoying Good Sport. Where to Go for Trout and Bass. During the next week the streams and lakes that contain trout and bass will re- | Anglers will have three or four days in which to enjoy a favorite pastime, and already many fond lovers of the so-called gentle art have taken their departure for parts unknown to all persons excepting those who have a predilection for the sport. pln the mountains, within a radius of 400 miles of the City, there are innumer- able streams, all of which contain trout of different varieties. Devotees of the sport who cannot afford a trip to the MecCloud, Kiamath and tains, can have sport galore within foar bours' ride of this City. Anglers who have fished the Beg Pluton, astream that empties into the Russian River near Cloverdale, report that good fly fishing can be counted upon at the headwaters of the stream. Then there is the Pieta, a small creek within twenty minutes’ walk of Pieta station, which can always be relied upon for a big basket of small fishes. There are several very pretty streams within an hour’s drive of Ukiah, where deer are aimost as plentiful as sheep, but the “‘monarchs of the glen’ must not be shot until the 15th inst., when the close season will expire. The season when black bass can be law- fully taken opened on the 1st, and a rush of anglers to the Russian River, near Guerneville, will occur to-day. The best lures for bass are minnows and small | frogs, but occasionally the black denizens of the deep puols will take a spoon when properly preseuted. There are some very excellent pools within one mile of Guerne- ville which contain bass tiat will rua but anglers who fish for bass must be en- dowed with patience, otherwise they are certain to meet with disappointment. The Supervisors have reappointed Mr. Mogan 2 deputy game and fish warden. Itis hoped that Mr. Mogan will prove to the satisfaction of the centlemen who appointed him and to the sportsmen and anglers of this City that he is worthy of the office. The mere drawing down of a salary each month will not retain him in his position. He must be out and doing, and there is no better time than the pres- ent for the warden to prove he is the right man in the right place. There is a law, and it reads veryjpisin, which says that the possession of imma- ture fisbes is a misdemeaner. Now, if Mr. Mogan will visit the several shrim camps on the margin of the bay, nortE and south, he can make a record which will be appreciated by the people at large, as it is a well-known fact that the Chinese are rapidly depleting the bay of its small fishes by means of bag nets. The Mongo- lians catch scnrimps, but they never think of such a thing as returning the small fishes, simply because they are not mo- lested by the Fish Commissioners. Tons upon tons of small dried fish e shipped annually to China from this City under the very eyes of the commission., Any person who doubts this statement can pay & visit to Chinatown and satisfy himself that the Chinese are ruining the fishing industry of tie bay. How long will this continue? Mr. Mozan is now in & position to answer the question. Possi- bly, if he is poweriess to act, other men can be appointed who will at least make an attempt at stopping the unlawful cap- ture of Iry of food fishes. James Chesley and a friend will try their luck on Butte Creek to-morrow. Jim bas borrowed a basket sufficiently large to hold fifty pounds of trout, Al Cumming bas started for a stream which 18 onl{iknnwn to the expert High- land angler.

Salmon are now running in Monterey B;u:i and some good catches are being made. John P. Babcock, chiet of the fish pa- trol, and afriend are fishing Big Stony brook. General J. H. Dickinson is after the trout of Lake Tahoe. It is said that fly fishing on the Truckee is good and thatjgood baskets of fish are being caught, Messrs. Walker and Cooper will try their cunning on the fishes of Lagunitas Lake on Monday. Walker has a cast of flies which will tempt any trout, at least hs says =0, but Cooper smiles.

Tm‘s month’s fly-casting contests of the 1 Ssn Francisco Fly-casting Club will de- cide who shall represent the club at the great National fly-casting contests of the Chicago Fly-casting Club on August 13 and 14. On that occasion there will be six events—three fly-casting and 1ihree lure-casting—with diamond medals as the prizes. San Francisco will bs represented by the ciub member with the best '97 averages, and this is nnderstood to mean Mr. Mansfield or Mr. Golcher, though the averages have not been made up yet and this month’s results must be reckoned in with the other contests. Eas CRICKET CHIRPS. Dolngs of the Philadelphlia Team In Enzland—To-Morrow’s Game. The Philadelphia eleven, now touring in England, whiie not so successful hith- erto as we might have hoped, are making a very creditable showing and putting their most formidable foes on their met- tle. Their initial victory—against Sussex County—was most meritorions, for their opvonents included such famous players as Ranjitsinhji, the best batsinan living, Braun, Newham and others. The victory was by eight wickets. King, who distin- guished himseif by bowling the Indian Prince first ball, had a double analysis of 13 wickets for 115 runs, a showing of which America may well be prouna. Ranjy” redeemed himself in the second inning by making 72 runs. Champion W. G. Grace is still very much in tbe ring. Last month he took a team to Dutlin and played the university there. He was victorious by an inning and 92 ru making 121 off his own bat. Our Portland brethren have made iwo attempts to play a married v< single match, both of which have been frus- trated by the rain.

The owners or handiers of some fast dogs give their charges a good drink of water before they are handed to the slipper for the final run. Of course a dog that has partaken liberally of water cannot exercise a poor running ha nd the result is that the men who the race and select the dog that is tam- pered with lose their money, while those in the swim” pocket the cash. Any man found doing an act of this kind should be disqualified from running a dog in the park, as it is this kina of unsports- manlike conduct that ruins good sport. The old dogs should give spectators an opportunity of witnessing some good rac- ing to-morrow afternoon. ——— Basebali.

They Want to Know About Spirits, Beer, Tea and the Trusts. Satisfactory Answers Being Glven, Work on the Tariff Bill Is Resumed. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2—When the tariff bill-was taken up in the Senate to-day White of California, in behalf of the minority of the Finance Committee, asked Allison as to the programme on tea, | beer, the anti-trust amendment and other important questions. Allison responded that an amendment relating to the increase of the revenue to be derived from the bill wou!d be brought in later in the day. As to other questions | a little more time was desired. Teller of Colorado inquired what the committee or caucus contemplated doing on the question of decreasing the tax on distilleu spirits, in view of the letter writ- ten by the secretary of the Treasury. Allison answered that the whole ques- tion of distilled spirits had been gone over. Personally he believed alower tax would be productive of greater revenue, but he thought it unwise to go into the comnlex question in connection with this tariff bill. Teller said the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury indicated a desire for leais- lation on this subject. Then the Senator added: ‘‘Before this bill is disposed of I will discuss what sbould be done in de- creasing the tax on spirits. I will show that the committee is giving away $2,000,- | 000 a month, 1o the detriment of consum- ers who bear the tax burdens and to the | detriment of honest dealers in distilled | sprrits.”’ Consideration of the bill then proceeded. i The paragraph relating to nickel was changed, making the rates on nickel ore 3 | cents per pound on the nickel contained | therein; nickel matter, 4 cents per pound; | nickei and nickel oxide alloy, etc., 8 cents | per pound. | This brought the Senate to the retalia- tory elause, so called, providing that whenever any couniry paysa bounty on | any article, then on importation of that ) ariicle into the Uuited States there shall | be ievied in addition to the duties other- wise imposed bv thisact an additional duty equal to the net amount of such bounty or grant, however the same be paid or bestowed. Gray of Delaware spoke against the amendment, saying he regarded it as open- ing the way to a disregard of our treaty obligations with at least two European countries—Germany and Austria-Hune gary. He read the protest of Baron von I'nielmann} the German Embassador, and | Baron von Hengel Muller, the Austrian Migpister, azainst the proposed discrimi- natory duty. Caffery ot Louisiana differed with Mr. Gray, arguing tuat no breach of interna- tional obligations was involved, and that retaliation of ihis character was in the nature of self-preservation to which any country could resort wuen its industries were threataned by the payment of for- eign export bounties. The Senate agreed to the retaliatory section—33 ayes 1o 19 noes. A reciprocity amendment was then of- ferred as an additional section. and modi- fied 80 as to require the ‘‘advice and con- sent of the Senate’” to commercial treaties. Mills sugeested that the Senate and | President “‘conld not contract away the revenue of the Government without the consent of the House.” Morzan deciared himself in favor of the reciprocity provision asan improvement on a bill which contzined *‘enough to as- tonish and almost horrify him,” and which was ‘‘an open aeclaration of war against the commerce of the world.” | | | H { Gray also favored the reciprocity section as breaking down somewhat the barrier of commercial restriction set up and letting in a little free trade and free sunshine. The reciprocity provision was agreed to, four Democratic Senators—Gray, Harris of Kansas, Heitfeld and Morgan—voting in its favor. Lindsay offered an amendment to the reciprocity provision. 1t authorizes the President to investigate and elicit 2.1 facts as to restrictions on sales of American to- bacco in foreign countries, and toenter into negotiations for all modification or removal of such restriction-. e ‘ex- plained that it was intended to reach cer- tain regulations in france and Spain by wkich the importation of American to- bacco was absotutely prohibited exceps on Government account. . 3 Alliscn intimated that there would bt no objeciion to the amendment. If the President had not that authority he was willing to givs 1t to bim. doas The matter went over till to-morrow, and the Senate at 6:15, after a shortexs ecutive session, adjourned. SIGNS OF BLE KERS AHEAD. Democrats Are sngry end ZThreatem Obstruetive Tactics. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2.—The’ action of the Republican caucus lsst aight in deciding to abandon the proposed: tix on tea and the proposed increased-tax on beer and substituting a tax on trandac- tions in bonds and stocks has given an entirely new turn to the tariff quéstion. | The atandonment of the proposed anti- trust lecislation has especially displeased the Democrats, who refuse to be placated with the retention of the anti-trust-pro- visions of the present law. -They declare that they will iniroduce anti-trist propo- sitions themselves, and on these proposi tions make their political speeches. It 1s said to be the intention of the Dem« ocratic leaders alsc to offer free-silver amendments and perhaps the old incoms tax provision of the Wilson bill, thus causing general financial discussion. Mills is said to be selected to present the free-silver amendment, and some of his colleagues believe it may be adopted. It is stated, however, with great em- phasis on the Repubiican side that forty« three Republican votes and the three Gold Democratic votes of Caffery, Gray and Lindsay will be cast solidly asainst any - free-silver amendment. Nothing would ‘. be accomplished by its adoption, as it would be promptly rejected bv the.con= ference committes, but the Democrats profess to believe that asilverdiscussion ' wonld be of great political benefit, The plan to tax transactions in bonds and stocks was adopted by the caucus after a statement from Allison that the biil as at present framed would tall at least $2.000,000 short of producing the necessary revenue. The stock and bond tax, itis estimated, will furnish $15,000,000 revenue. Allison wiil offer the amend- ment to-morrow. It provides forz 5'cént tax on each $100 worth of bonds or'stock issued and 2cents on each sharesold of transferres c.uding all sales on ‘margin. It is specifically provided that Unitea States and building association ‘bonds shall be exempt. o BUOMNDHOLVDEES PROTEST. Regard the Plan FProposed for Raising Revenue as Populistic. NEW YORK, N.'Y., Jaly 2—The Stock Exchange to-day telegraphed the chair- man of the Senate Finance Committee res questing that a hearing be given it if the. report was correct that a proposition was ! before the committee to tax tramsactions |in stocks and bonds. Wall stréet- de- nounced the proposed tax as another évis . dence of legislative hostility ~to. the moneyed interests which, if enacted irto Iaw, would be likeiy to have a very bad: effect upon business. > “A stamp tax,” said one member of the exchange, “‘levied on checks, notes, bdls of exchange, deeds and all other lezal’ documents, would be infinitely preferable, When stocks and bonds were taxed before it was a war measure, and a stamp tax’ was also genersal at that time, and t loyalty of the people was so intense that: any tax was cheerfully paid. But there'is no sense 1n a time of peace in singling ouv the tax now proposed. It is .simply a Popalistic attack on Wall street and ofit:. and out demagoguism.” 3 : Thoe statement contained in private dis- patches that the proposal was to put a- tsx of 2 cents a share upon all transact: in stock resuitea in the suggestion ih: tax upen such terms would be likely-tg ciose up mining exchanges, the bulk of whose aealings arein shares whose mark value is only a few cents.
