Committee Renders a Report on the Condition of the Roads. Encinal Cyclers Hold an Exciting Race on the Haywards Road. Everything is now in readiness for the great annual cycling event of the Pacific Coast, the 100-mile relay race, which will takeé place next Sunday. Chester S. Myrick, chairman of the road | racing committee of the California As- | sociated Cycling Clubs, rode around the entire course vesterday, accompanied’ by H. D. Hadenfeldt, W. Mackie, F. G Montealegre and G. W. Tantau. The re- port of the gentlemen shows the road to be In exceptionally good condition, and all expressed the opinion that faster time would be made next Sunday than ever | before in the history of the race. From now on the roads are to be sprin- Amid the uproar and confusion which | followed the discovery of fire in the building adjoining the California Thea- ter on Saturday evening there was one man who retained his coolness, but for which fact many lives might have been crushed out in the mad rush to leave | the building. | Fred Seitz, the man who handles the drums, cymbals, xylophone, bells and what not in the opera company’s or- | chestra, was the hero of the occasion. | He did not follow his portly leader or his fellow players in a wild clamber over the footlights, but grasping the dangers of a general stampede re- mained at his post, and beating time on his snare drum quieted the excited multitude into an orderly march to the various exits. Before this the audi-| ence was pushing and crushing in an endeavor to leave the theater, but when Seitz's drum beats were heard chaos was turned into order, and keep- | ing step to the taps of the drum the building was soon emptied. In their hurry to reach places of safety wearing apparel and articles of every description were left behind or dropped in their flight. = Thirty-seven | sealskins, seventeen black and colored fichus, twelve pair of gloves, twenty- kled every day. The worst stretch is to be encountered on the second relay, where the road for two miles south from Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a mass of soft earth, from the effects of the recent digging of a wide trench py the Spring Valley Water Com- pany. From Mountain View to San Jose, being most of the fifth relay, is also in poor shape. Had the race been naden early in April this year, according to the custom in the past, the greatest difficul- ties would have been encountered where now the roads are smooth and fast. Furman, who will ride in the Bay City team, arrived from Los Angeles yester- day, and Freeman came in from Fresno to train for a place on the Acme team. | T. C. Belloli was appointed yesterday by | Chairman Myrick to represent the C. A. | C. C. in an executive capacity at the San | Jose end of the road on the day of the race. The Garden City Wheelmen of San Ja held a ten-mile try-out yesterday, result of which the following riders were chosen for the San Jose team: Harden- brook, Delmas, Thorne, J. Smith, Bunt Smith, Francis, Quimby, Bridgeman, Bel- loli and Schnitzpan. The Acme Wheeimen held a ten-mile try-out over the Haywards course, start- ing at 2 o'clock. Fifteen men were started in one bunch, all the relay riders partici- pating and five extra men being added to conceal the exact identity of the relay men. A. T. Smith finished first in 2 Curtis was thrown out of the race by reason of a fall when but two miles out, and J. E. Smith, one of the Acme Club’ brightest stars, was left behind on ac- count of an unfortunate puncture. The five-mile road race of the Encinal Cyclers was started at 2 o’clock from San 3 o enE OV P e Jeandro. Twelve men started, and _all seven pair of opera glasses, nineteen | finicred. H. F.

When Mr. Meyers could regain his speech, he politely but firmly re- fused the demand, and the stranger moved away from the box office mut-| tering about the Injustice of things. Manager Friedlander 1s disgusted with the lack of courage shown by the male element during the stirring scenes on Saturday night. He said he expected as much, as past experience has taught him that men are greater cowards than women. statementoutby pointing to thegreater number of hats and overcoats left by them in their rush to escape danger. He said the men acted shamefully. Mothers, wives and sisters were left to care for themselves. Why tkey should have been in such a rush to leave the theater when there was no danger and plenty of exits puzzled Mr. Friedlander at the time, but after reflection he laid 4t to their cowardice. An inspection of the St. George Sta- ble, in which the fire occurred shows that the damage is not quite as bad as it was at first supposed to be. The en- of the side walls injured, all of which will have to be repaired. To do this about $2000 will fully cover the entire | damage.

Willlam Rader preached last night on “The Investment of Power,” a ser- mon on the value of living a correct life and properly utilizing the golden oppor- tunities it affords to those who will do all they can for the upbuilding of their brains and bodies, not neglecting the full Adevelopment of their moral and religious natures. SOME H0T MAY AY COURSING Large Crowds at Both the Parks Watch the Dog Races. For Freedom and False Flat- terer Win the Union Park Races. Close Finishes and Good Running Seen on the Ingleside Sward. The great May-day coursing at Union | Park brought out the lovers of the sport in large numbers. Ordinarily the crowd | does not arrive until the third round, but carly yesterday morning it began to pack the park for the first races. The sport was of the best. The hares full of life and vigor, gave the hounds a merry chase, and some of the prettiest races of the on were run, both in the preliminary and the last rounds. The champion stake was won by the great ound, For Freedom, who took every race easily. All of For Freedom’s successes were well earned, and the running ye terday shows the hound a veritable cham- | pion. The malden stake was captured by | Flatterer. In the second round ome surprises jolted the talent, a few of the long shots winning with apparent | ease from the favorit Van Needa, Myrtle, Royal Oak, Chiet __and False Flatterer, at 5 to 1 over Meta, | proved the winners. The crowd was one of the largest this year, and the betting was very brisk. he ring was packed with a crush of bet- ting enthusiasts during the entire day. The result of the maiden stake is as follows: P. J. Rush’s Van Needa beat F. Mack's Decorator; R. B. Kay's Diana beat Simmons & Donahue’s More's Prescripti E. Camp- endalong beat F.

Third ties—Theron beat Firm Friend: For Freedom beat Metallic. Final—For Fredom beat Theron. INGLESIDE. A good-sized crowd saw some fairly clever sport at the Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday. Although the money was loose during the day much fault was found by the bettors at two or three de- cistons given during the racing. Moon- dyne seemed hard to beat according to rumors, for the reason that the park in- terest in the hound wanted the money to go that direction, and after a diecision in the third ties for a no go the hound went down to Koo Lawn, who proved to be the winner of the rich stake. The hounds were all in good condition, as were the hares. It is stated that the long odds book lost heavily on the results, as it was generally supposed that one of the swift Dean hounds would win the money. The results follow: Patria_beat Senorita, Koo Lawn beat Glen Chlge, Moondyne beat Right Bower, Log Boy beat Lady Blanche, Firenza beat Rusty Gold. Second ties—Koo Lawn beat Patria. Moon- dyne Leat Glen Roy, Log Boy beat Firenza. Third tles—Koo Lawn beat Moondyne, Log Boy a bye. Final—Koo Lawn beat Log Boy and won the money. Sergeant McManus’ First Haul. The first haul made by Sergeant Mc- Manus and posse, who has taken the place of Sergeant Shea on the Chinatown squad, was booked yesterday at the Cali- fornia-street station. This was the raid- ing of an opium joint on Clay street which the white population has been in the habit of patronizins. In yvesterday’s raid the following were caught: ~William McDonald, George Jones, Frank Silvey, John King, Joseph Marla, James Scoft, Charles Mason and R.

An Inheritance Tax and the Issuance of Greenbacks Among the Probable Suggestions. Spectal Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, May 1. Interest in the Senate this week is in the war revenue bill, which is expected | to reach that body with the beginning | of the week. It will be referred at once | to the Committee on Finance, and| probably will be reported Wednesday or Thursday. A meeting of the Finance Committee has been called for Monday, with the view on the part of the Republican | members of having the consideration | of the bill in committee begun infor- | mally. They have even intimated that | they may ask that a vote be taken at this meeting with the view of report- The Democratic members of the com- mittee will oppose this programme, as they desire an opportunity to have va- | rious amendments considered. It is| now believed that they will offer & | provision for a tax on all producing | industries, another for an inheritance tax, and a third for non-interest bear- | ing treasury notes. It is also probable that an amendment will be suggested for the issuance of $100,000,000 in green- backs to take the place of those out- standing which are supposed to have been destroyed. They will seek to have the bond provision of the bill eliminat- ed entirely on the plea that the time| has not yet arrived for a bond issue. | There is a possibility that the Repub- lican members of the committee may amend the bond provision, as there is more or less dissatisfaction with it among Republican Senators. One of the changes suggested is a reduction of | the amount of the bonds. When the| bill reaches the Senate the opposition will insist upon having time for the| various factions to state the reasons for their opposition, and it is now pre-| for debate. While they will insist upon | the elimination of the bond feature they will all state that they will vote for bonds later if the waar should be prolonged sufficiently to require their issuance. The programme of the Senate until the revenue bill is reported is uncer- tain. The postoffice appropriation bill probably will be reported and passed and the omnibus claims bill will be taken up. ‘WASHINGTON, May 1.—There is no business of great importance to come before the House during the week, un- less the Appripriations Committee brings in an emergency war appropri- ation measure. It was the intention of Chairman Cannon to make the emer- gency appropriations a part of the gen- eral deficiency, but as that bill might be delayed some time he may bring in a separate measure. There are also a number of conference reports to be dis- posed of and these may occupy the House during the week. Special ap- propriation bills are still in confer- ence, but reports are expected during the week. The Alaska land bill remains to be disposed of, and there are a num- ber of minor matters to be taken under consideration. In the public schools of Japan the Eng- 1ish language is required to be taught by law. The Japanese youth in the open ports and commercial citles are all eager to learn English as a passport to wealth, position and employment.

The only | grievance he has is that his parrot got a dose of stifling smoke and an occa- | sional shower from the spray of the water thrown on the building. The Chief values this bird very highly, as it i8 a great pet and the idol of the household. Mrs. Sullivan loves the bird for its cleverness. Every time the gong sounds in the engine-house the parrot cries oul “Fire—fire—run—you—son— of—gun.” On the occasion of the blaze Saturday night it screeched out “Fire— fire” long before the men in the engine- house knew of the danger. The Chief’s loss amounts to over $100, while that of his men is equally as -‘s_ RRE UNTING FOR THEIR VALUABLES. SAFE IN PORT The Old Diogenes Makes the Run Across in Rough Weather. Series of Storms Encountered During the Trip Over From Falmouth. No Warships of the Enemy Encoun- tered, Much to the Relief of Commander Knapp. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, May 1.—The United States cruiser Topeka, formerly the Diogenes, commanded by Lieutenant J. J. Knapp, which sailed from Fal- mouth, England, April 19, arrived safe- ly in port this morning, after a rough passage of twelve days. The Topeka entered the Narrows at 9 a. m., where she slowed down for the Health Of- ficer’s inspection, then proceeding to | the man-of-war anchorage off Tomp- kinsville. As she steamed up the bay the vessel presented an odd appear- ance. She has a high-sided, black- painted hull and two yellow funnels, | from which the paint had washed off | She is brig-rigged, | giving her a heavy appearance aloft, | by heavy weather. without fighting tops; in fact, at a dis- tance she presents the appearance of a big cargo steamer rather than a war vessel.

Lieutenant Knapp reported having | rough passage. | experienced a very From the time of leaving the channel up to the banks a succession of strong westerly gales was encountered. After passing the banks the wind hauled to the north and blew a strong gale for four days, with a very rough sea. The Topeka behaved well throughout and sustained but trifling damage about the decks. The cruiser carries a crew of forty-six men all told. Knapp, when asked whether he had sighted any war vessels during the voyage, replied that he had not and was not anxious to meet any, owing to his small crew and the fact that the Topeka’s guns were not mounted. The | Topeka was saluted by several tugs and excursion boats as she steamed up | to her anchorage. The Topeka was formerly known as | the Diogenes.

She is an excel- lent sea boat and can sustain a speed of sixteen knots. Shortly after noon to-dav the re- cently purchased cruiser New Orleans passed the Topeka, heading for the lower bay, and greetings changed and the flags dipped. This was the first sight of a war vessel which the officers and men of the To- peka had seen since they left British waters. ‘When seen to-day by a correspondent Knapp could not be induced to make any statement regarding the vessel or as to what her movements will be within the next few days, further than to say that he had a very rough pas- sage, during which the Topeka behaved splendidly, and her battery has yet to be determined.
