A circular of information regarding the last of the athletic games of the gram- mar schools has been sent out to the &chools of the city. The burden of the circular is ‘keep off the campus” and “keep the children off the campus,” but there sther information. These facts are set forth: The games will be held at Elghth and Harri t 2:30 o’clock to-morrow 'afternoon. 5 apiece, and they are limits of certain sections. If ‘any one wishes a good seat in the section in which he has bought a chair he will have g0 carly and get next the outer rail. Fish horns and school colors are recommended to the school children as a means to make is a noise. To further the general din it is suggested that schools fix upon some par- ticular to each contest, in order that they y nanimous in’their rooting. The events will be a five-inning baseball game, a tug-of-w a football game, another tug-of-w another footbail ame, another tug-of-war and the foot- ball windup. Tickets may be had at the office of the Deputy Superintendent of Schools. The games are for the benefit of the Teachers Annuity and Retirement Fund. The prizeg are valuable trophles. Tt is expected that the tournament thus started will become a permanent thing in the School Depart- ment. —_————— DIED BY THE FLUID HE MORTALLY DREADED Max Metzl, an Oroville tailor, was ac- cldentally asppyxiated by gas in his room, 616 Bush street, yesterday morning. The Coroner was notified and the body was | | taken to the Morgue. Deceased was a member of the firm of Schlamm & Metzl, merchant tailors of Oroville. He 1 lately come to this city on business an taying in_the house in which he leath. He had an aversion to gas and refused to use the jet in his room. He made special request of his landlady to furnish him with a coal- ofl lamp, and he was using it when a: phyxiated. One of the gas jets was in a deplorable condition. The slightest touch would make the key revolve in its socket. It is thought Metzl struck it while remov- ing his clothing, and did not smell the escaping carbon-monoxide when he retired to_rest. That his death was accldental is borne out by the fact that his Sunday clothes were placed on a chair at his bedside ready to be donned the following morn- jng. Among the effects found in the room by Deputy Coroner . Flynn were a number of cards disclosing his identity and a bank book on the Humboldt Sav. ings and Loan Society showing a_credit of $117 27. Deceased was deaf and dumb. He was a native of Germany and about 3§ years of age. e e—————— Veterans Discuss Civil Service.

It now ranks but fourth, and if the naval programme of Germany goes through will drop to fifth place. But ten | years of such activity in the construction of war vessels as is now being exhibited will make a wonderful change. England comes first on the list now, with France The States s a poor fourth, but she is making sreat strides toward closing up the gap. The admiral likes to talk about the new navy, in the construction of which he has | been an important factor. He it was who was selected in 1884 to visit Europe and study al architecture and to secure all the information possible for the building of a navy of which the Government could be proud. He was given full authority to purchase all the materials and tools that in his opinion would be necessary for the work. He spent six months abroad, and brought back with him plans and suggestions that have since guided him in hiz work. ‘“Since we have entered upon this new era of naval construction,” he said in an interview at the Palace yesterday, “over 300 war Is have been added to our | navy, of which 200 were designed and built | by the Navy Department, and the re- | mainder, principally _cuxiliary vessels, added through purchase. I have been per- sonally connected with the designing of every ship In the new navy, and with those under construction and contem- plated. We have now about sixty new vessels under construction, varying in ze from a battleship of 14,000 tons to the smallest torpedo boats and the submarine boat Plunger, which is an improved type of the Holland submarine boat, which has proved so successful in a series of trials extending over two years. “The new naval bill calls for the con- struction of three new battleships of the Pennsylvania class, which will be above 15,000 tons each, have a speed of nineteen knots and will' be the largest and most owerful battleships afloat. They are to | be fitted out with the latest electrical ap- pliances for auxillary power—machinery that now seems weil nigh perfect—and will carry twelve-inch guns of the most improved pattern. So successful have the trials of the Holland submarine boat been that the bill also calls for the con- { struction of five more submarine boats of | an improved type. This number does not inciude the Plunger, which is already under way. The work now being done will require probably three years to com- plete, although many of the vessels will be finished in much less time. Just at present the shipyards have all they can do. ““The progress of the age has been won- | derful. "When I entered the Mare Island | Navy Yard, in 1861, we were hul!dlng wooden ships. The ‘transition from woo to iron and iron to steel has been so rapid that it almost passes comprehension, From auxiliary steam and sall power we have passed to full steam power and al- most m ss vessels, and now electricity has entered the field and made the most wonderful change of all. We have the most powerful engines of war afloat that the mind of man can design, but we sull know but little of the actual value of mod- ern arms and heavy guns. The late war taught us little, because there was not at any time a stand-up fight between two steel vessels. Such a battle would be short but decisive. “The chief characteristic of the battle- ships now under construction will be the wonderful electrical appliances used in giving them auxiliary power. Here you are building the Wisconsin and Ohlo, and in the East the Iilinofs, Maine, Alabama and Missouri, They have inclining tur- rets, so evenly balanced that no matter Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn. | | | | L.

" The power 18 even at. all times | no matter what the position of the ship Tests have proved that a single heavy will not disturb the machinery; and it is not probable that more than on | will be landed in the same place | a battle, for the experts tell us that in a radius of one mile the chance of one ship hitting another is about 1 in 20. “Another improvement in the new bat- tleships is the elimination of the 13-inch gun and the substitution of the 12-inch, which is easier handled, longer lived and less costly in firing, and yet quite as ef- fective. It costs $650 each time a 13-inch gun is discharged. I am of the opinion that the caliber of the guns wiil still be | greatly reduced, and that In ten years | Improved 10-inch guns be the heaviest used in the navy. T can be handled with greater facility, fired more rapidly | and made just as effective, Experience has proved that rapid-fire guns are the most effective. Marksmanship will important factor in al battle: vessel must have some vital spots. rapid-fire guns can be so handle these spots can be reached more easily. When a ship’s vitals are pierced she can be no longer in the fight. “I am in favor of building ships in our own navy-yards, not to the exclusion of other_shipbuilding yards, but to give stead¥ employment to our workmen, and thereby secure a force of men who will be reliable and valuable. The repair work in our navy has become an important matter. When a vessel ends a cruise she needs repairs, and the work must be done properly. That means a large force of men. My idea would be to commence the construction of a warship at each navy- | yard, calculating that it would require four or five vears to c&mplpte the work. When a vessel comes™n from sea and needs repairs put the entire force at work on it and finish up the job. When the work is done let the men return to the construction of the new ship. In that way we shall always keep men and ma- terials available for any emergency.” Rear Admiral Hichborn, though born in Charleston, Mass., is exceedingly proud of his appointment from the State of Cal- {fornia, where he spent the early days of his manhood and served as a journeyman smpwng{n, master shipwright and As- sistant Naval Constructor. His Califor- nia days are full of bright and pictur- esque reminiscences and he loves to talk of the old days. This visit, though long deferred, and the renewal of old ac- quaintances, has for vears been a cher- ished hope. Notwithstanding his contin- ued employment so far from the Pacific Coast, he has been ever in touch with its Interests, and being persevering as well as progressive has done much to foster and promote the welfare of the ship- building interests, both at the navy yards and private shipvards of the West. While residing in Vallejo Mr. Hichborn was identified with all matters of public mo- ment. Mrs. Hichborn is making her first visit to California and is delighted with the prospect. She says she feels no ill effects from her journey across the continent. Yesterday her apartments at the Palace were fllled with cholce cut flowers. Many friends and acquaintances called to pay their respects and Mrs. Hichborn proved a charming hostess. She is looking for- ward with pleasant anticipation to a jour- ney homgward by way of Portland and Victoria, over the Canadfan Pacific to Duluth and down the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic sea- board. To-morrow Rear Admiral Hichborn will visit the Union Iron Works and Inspect the battleships under construction there. He.will not go to Mare Island until one week from to-day. The admiral will grobably spend a fortnight in and about an Francisco. CAVALRYMEN TO LEAVE THE POST FOR PARK DUTY Two Troops Will Start for the Na. tional Reservations T-is Morning. Troops F and G of the Sixth Cavalry will leave the Presidio early this morn- ing under command of Major Louis H. Rucker, on their way to the national parks. Major Rucker, with Troop F, will take station at Yosemite Park, and Troop G, under Captain Wilcox, will take sta- tion at Sequoia Park. The three officers of each troop will be in the detachment, with such surgeons as may be necessary to_care for the health of the men. The departure of six officers from the Presidio Just at this time will make guard duty a serious matter for those that re- main. Guard duty comes around with a frequency that is not at all pleasant, and When the cavalrymen go it will be almost constant. It will be the same with enlisted men, for the troopers have been doing their full share of guard duty. There is not a particularly large garrison at the post even with the two cavalry troops, and so the only hope is the con- valescent companies. One will be formed to-day, but there is no officer for it, and it will have to await the arrival of some officer Manila bound who can stop over long enough to get it into shape. Corporal Henry Teller of Battery N, Third Artillery, stationed at Alcatraz, died suddenly Saturday morning.
