The present campaign is the first in the history of the State to witness the opera- tion of the league-club system as a potent factor in the Republican executive forces working for party harmony and success. With ihe State Central Committee’s headquarters at San Francisco and the of the money and tariff issues, in three or four languages. The State League acts as distributor for the National League, the matter being of the highest order. Abont 100,000 documents bave_ been circulated up to date, besides several thcusand posters, | stickers and campaign buttons. The | league has also received large cousign- | ments of literature from sound-money | leagues of the Middle and Eastern States. This matter has been very effective in the way of controvertine and exposing the | fallacies of the free-silver orators. One of the most effective pieces of work done by the league was the publication of the circular issued by the American Mer- chant Marine Association showing thatl its president, Arthur Sewall, favors the Republican protective policy. This cireu- { lar was printed in large quantities in the | East and caused a big sensation. | Arrangements are under way to organ- | ize Republican clubs in all the universities of the State upon the National League plan. Stanford, the State University and the University of Southern California al- | ready have enthusiastic, prosperous clubs. | The following paragraph, recently writ- | ten by William McKinley, gives his esti- | mate of the National Republican League, | and should stir up the enthusiasm of | leaguers in all parts of the United States, | namely: “The coming campaign is to be | pre-eminently one of education, and there as never been in the history of parlies in the United States any such potent agency | for the dissemination of political informa- | tion as the National Republican League. | The league has always, since its organiza- | tion, been to the forefront of the battle, | and I know that this year it will come up to the full measure of duties.”’ The headquarters of the Natjonal League | are at Chicago, and the National officers are: Edwin A. McAlpin, president; M. | J. Dowling, secretary; Aaron T. Bliss, treasurer. The officers of the California State League |are: A. W.

LARGE AREA UNDER WATER Destruction of Livestock and Crops Means Suffering for the Populace. TACOMA, Wasn,, Oct., 11.—Late Sibce rian papers received by the Oriental liner Tacoma to-day reported great floods in | Siberia, with thousands of people rendered homeless and destitute. The rivers 8f- phoon, Moor, Santa Chasa and Inman were all over their banks and the plain for hundreds of miles turned into a vast Jake from 20°to 30 deép fcet in places. The Siberian Railway was inundated for 120 Officers of the California State League of Republican Clubs.

The National League plan has been in active operation for many years in all the Eastern States, and the late convention of Republican clubs at Milwaukee was one of the most important political gatherings of the year. bronght General Clarkson, Henry Clay Avansand many other Republican leaders to the front an the party to see in ita means of making themselves a tower of strength in the con- test for the supremacy of Republican principles. The Repub’ican party of California, in convention at Sacramento on February 5. 1896, paid the following tribute to the value of permanently organized clubs: We - indorse the work of the National League end the efforts of the young men of our party to make a vigorous and success- ful campaign in this State. The officers nf the California organiza- tion have successfully started league or- ganizations in the seven Congressional districts of the State. These district leagnes have in turn organized many county leagues. Where it was found im- + practicable to organize county leagues local clubs have been formed. Los An- geles, Alameda, Sacramente and Santa Clara counties have large and prosperous county leagues or federations. These county organizations have proven very effective in many ways, but especially in making plans for public meetings and entertaining the speakers of the party. There are about 700 Republican clubs in the Btate, many of them uniformed and witk their own\ drum corps. Never be- fore in the history of California has there been such an interest displayed in club work. Speakers are being sent out by the score, and .thousands of copies of sound- money documents are being putinto the hands of the voters of the State. The National Republican Committee has recognized the splendid services of the Nationel League, has created a club de- partment and placed the National secre- tary, Colonel M. J. Dowling, in charge. In this State the central committee has done eu?n:hg possible for the advance- ment and efficiency of the State League, and the relations between the two organi- zations have always been most cordial. ‘The headguarters of the California State J.eague is located in the Stowell block, on South Spring street, in this city.

Fall Meeting of the Sixth District Agricul- tural Association Will Open To-Day. LOS ANGELES, Can, Oct. 11.—The SixthzAgricultural District Association’s fair and racing meet will begin at Agricul- tural Park to-morrow. The attractions at the turfside for the week promise to be the most varied and interesting ever pre- sented in Southern California. On the opening day, in the 2:14 class trot, such game steppers as Mamie Griffin, Chris | Petersen, Gillette, Jasper Ayers, Rex Gif- ford and Challenger will compete. The 2:20 pace will bring together George R. May, Nutford, S8an Luisito, Gladys W, Montecito Boy, Juliet D, Jennie Mc and Beachwood. This is a big and well- matched field. With one or two excep- tions all the entries to this event are owned in SBouthern California, and as sev- eral score up for the word for the first time this season it will be no easy task to pick tbe winner. The Australian device for starting horses, which has come into general vogue since its introduction at Ingleside track less than a year ago, will be seen in opera- tion at this meeting. The Los Angeles Derby will be started with the gate. As the distance is one mile, the start will be made directly in front of the erana stand, and every one will have a chance to see the machine at work. i Prince Bismarck’s Health, LONDON, Exa., Oct. 1L.—The Standard will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Paris stating that advices received there show that the health of Prince Bismarck is causing serious anxiety, verats from Inman, the tast stationon th ¢ road, and in many places washed away. For several days jelegraphic communica- tion with Viadivostock was interrupted. Grain crops were being gathered and the hay was stacked in the flelds. All were destroyed, as well as livestock and the buildings of farmers. There are meager reports of great loss of life. The Goyern6r of Vladivostock dis- patched soldiers, steam launches and life- boats to assist in rescue work, Great distress and a famine will un- doubtedly result from the loss of stock and foodstuffs. The Governmeut is doing all in its power to assist the sufferers, but from the nature of the country the dis- tress'can be but partially alleviated dur- ing the next twelve months, Siberian papers call for subscriptions to aid the safferers. The season had been exceptionally wet in that portion ‘of Siberia. At the west end of the ' railwdy on only thirty-eight days in the whole season could field work be carried on. Embank- ments and bridges were washed out and re- placed again, only to meet the same fate. LOS ANGELES TOURNAMENT, Lively Competition Among BSouthern California Marksmen.

HEWS'OF MARE ISLAND The Monadnock Will Arrive at the Station During the Week. Enough Work in Sight to Keep the Yard Force Busy for Many Months. VALLEJO, Car., Oct. 11.—The monitor Monadnock will come to the Mare Island yard during the coming week, and, like the Monterey, will stop at the magazine wharf and discharge ammunition, After repairs are made the monitor will return to San Francisco. ‘The Naval Battalion will then go on board and drill. The Monterey is out of dock, and will soon be ready to leave the island.

AT THE MORGUE. Seven Cases Requiring Investigation Reported Yesterday. The Morgue wagon was kept on the move yesterday in collecting the bodies of those who died through unascertained causes. Deputy Coroner J. L. McCormick had added seven more entries on the books of the office, making thirty-seven for the eleyen days of the present month. Those who were reportea yesterday and whose bodies were taken to the Morgue were: Mrs. Sifert, aged 71 years, who died of apoplexy at 1420 Kearny street. An unknown man found by Mr. Ehrenpfort of 926 Eddy street in the sand hills one mile and a half from the ocean, between the Cliff House and the old Ocean Beach House. The man had been dead about ten days. A pistol with five empty chambers was lying alongside of the body with a tell- talaiola in the forehead, showing where the bullet had entered. The deceased was dressed in a pepper and salt suit, aged about 35 or 40 years, with red mustache. A silver watch was found in his vest ocket, but there was nothing to lead to is identity. Hattie Jenkins, aged 26 years, who had occupied a room ‘t 22034 McAllister street since the 21st of Beptember, died at 2o’clock yesterday morning. In aletter supposed to be written by her on the 26th of the same month to her “folks,” who, it is said, live in Fresno, she bid them good- by, and at the same time mentioned that she had been divorced from her husband, and that she was abouf to undergo an operation. On the 20th she was AtlaI ded by Drs. Houston, Wetsel and Greth, Mrs. Sten- son of 647 Howard street had acted as nurse a portion of the time. The sup- position 1s that she caused her own death. Mary Fay, aged 70 years, died suddenly from natural causes at 911 Howard street. ‘W. L. Hopkins, aged 70, a watchman at the United States Laundry, residing at 625 Valencia, fell downstairs, fracturing his 1sknll. He died in Bt. Luke’'s Hos- pital. A.J. Kinney, whose body was discov- ered at Mission Wharf 2, made the sixth case. Nellie Deady, a young woman at one time a milliner, was found dead in her bed at 119 Third street last evening at 6 |" o’clock. A bottle containing a few drops of laudanum was found near the body, and it is presumed that the deceased com- mitted suicide, It is known that the young woman had been dissipating dur- ing the past few months, and this may have accounted for the act.

The Reverend Speaker Commends the Young Men for the Pledge They Have Taken. The mission for young men which has been conducted by the Redemptorist Fathers Mullane and O'Shea at St. Jo- seph’s Church for the last four weeks was closed yesterday. During this period services have been held three times a day with results highly pleasing to the clergy of the parish. There was a large cangregation present at high mass yesterday morning. Rev. P. 8. Scanlan acted as celebrant; deacon, Rev. J. Collins; subdeacon, Rev. J. Mc- Donald; master of ceremonies, Rev. M. Scanlan, The sermon was delivered by Father Mullane. His topic was ‘‘Duties of Parents Toward Children,” and Hhe ad- monished his hearers thet the labors of the priests to save the young would be almost useless if the principles which they sought to instill from the pulpit were not conserved in the home. In the afternocon Rev. Father Mullane addressed the League of the Oross in the P“ri;lh Hall, I:;thor Mullfl:m f-:h‘ speaker rea: Tas e sym of the young, and tyng bt‘;;a llstyene‘:i. h!unlly {o tfa kindly words of advice to which he treated them, He drew a striking picture of the effects which follow early indulgence in drink, and congratulated the young men toxicants until their twenty-first year. At the close of his address the leagne mem- bers renewed their gledle. In the evening the seating capacity of the edifice was sorely taxed, extra benches which were distributed in every available space proving inadequate to accommodate the surplus. The body of the church was reserved for and entirely occupied by young men, in whose interest the mission has been held. Father O'Shea delivered the sermon. His text was from II Epistle of 8t. Paul to Timothy: “I have fought the good flEM: I have finished the course; fhlu ept the faith.” In part he said: If you would imitate St. Paul, and fight the ood fight against every temptation, and fight for everything that is moble in your natures you willwin a crown. Otherwise you may be cast away. During the past week a battle has been raging within this very church between the engels on one side and the devil on the other. In your hearts was the battle-ground. You felt difficulties in coming into the church. You felt, “How can_I relinquish thbse evil things which I have learned to love?” But the angel of God called you to come, the tears of your aged mother, the voice of God within you, all combined to break the tyrann: ot your sins. You confessed your sins an mf‘l’ were washed away by the biood of Jesus and buried in the ocean of eternity. N Young men, sin has a twofold effect. It sul- lies your soul and it implants an almost per- petual inclination to repeat the sins you have committed before. How many times have you protested on your bended kness that you would sin no more ? Wh{ did you fall? Because ou had failed to take note of the warning rom on high. What has happened in the past will happen in the future unless you conse- crate your souls. At the conclusion of the sermon Father O'Shea read 'the consecration act and all the young men of the three branches of the Immaculate Conception Sodality were consecrated to the Blessed Virgin, After that ceremony the solemn benediction and ‘sacrament were administered by the pas- tor, Father Scanlan.
