Each county is to be given proporticnate representation on the executive commit- tee, and the parent organizaticn, wirich is known as the Republican League of Southern California, is to comprise all the members of the executive committee as selectea by the several county branches. Though the first steps toward the or- ganization of the league were taken only two months ago, it now boasts nearly | 450 members, including some of the most | active and prominent Republicans of this section of the State. Its membership at present comprises representatives from the counties of Los Angeles, San Diego, | San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Ven- | tura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. In the near future it is expected to have all the counties of the Sixth and Seventh Congressional districts included in the organization.

Vice-President Wray made the fol- lowing statement of the important and | comprehensive objects of the organiza- tion: *“The Southern California Repub- lican League was formed vprimarily to strengthen, unite and barmonize the Re- publican party in the counties south of ?'ch&chlpi. There is not now any organ- zation of this kind in this part of the State. It was formea without regard to who shall be the parcy ieader. Its object is to advance Republican interests in State and national affairs. Had this league been organized for the last cam- paign there would have been no necessity for the formation of sound-money cluba in 1896. 1t wiil endeavor to build up Re- | publican sentiment along legitimate lines, | witbout regard to the dictates of bosses or | would-be leaders. Every man who can | sincerely subscribe to the principles of | the national administration is eligible to membership. e i “In the coming State campaign it will be found working with ali its strength and influence for the nominees of the Repub- lican State convention. It is, and will be kept, iree from any and all alliances of a personal character. It is bound to no man for United States Senator or Gov- ernor, but holds that the United States Senator should come from Southern Cali- fornia. We claim that tne fruit and other interests in Southern Galifornia require that the United Btates Senator should be selected from soutn of the Tehachapi. “It will reach out ana endeavor to have all the country newspapers in the Sixth and Seventh Congressional districts work along the lines tbat will best serve the party and insure its success. It is real- ized that if all the newspapers can be brought into harmony of action, it will bring about the absolute success of the Re- publican party south of Tehachapi. “There will be no aticmpt whatever at interference on the part of the ieague with county or - municipal affairs, though branches of the mother organization will be formed in each of the southern coun- ties. These, however, will only concern themselves with State and national poli- ties. “A literary bureau will be established to furnish the country press with suitable campaign matter. This, it is anticipated. will be one of the most important func- tions of the league.” SPORTS WILL BE ARRESTED, | Sausalito to Make a Final Effort to i Drive Gut the Sellers of Racing Fools. SAUSALITO, CaL., Oct. 10.—Once again the town =authorities are preparing to make wholesale arrests among the sports who place their money on Eastern race- borses in the poolrooms at Sausalito. Town Marshal John E. Creed asserts that be will swear out 100 warrants in the | morning for the arrest of gamblers under | the ordinance just passed by the Trustees forbidding the running of poolrooms. Zeke Abraham, who has been conduct- ing a poolroom in Sausalito for a Chicago firm, announced yesterday that his place would no longer remain open. Another poolroofn gave out the same information and this leaves only Harrison & Co. in the field to battle with the town authori- ties. Harrison says that the ordinance passed by the board of trustees is not worth the paper it is written on and that it is invalid. If it comes to a matter of contesting the validity of the ordinance, Harrison says, he wiil do it. { Marshal Creed, when sren by THE CaLL | representative to-day, said that he in- { tended to make the arrests if there was any betting at Harrison’s poolroom to- morrow.

The Democratic City Committee has been in a boiling and stewing state for severaldays. Whatever may be said of | the standing of Mr. Stephens in the coun- | cils of the Bryan party here there is many a warm spot for him in the hearts of those who compose the rank aud file of the good old pure Democracy, as it sparkied | before its Populistic adulteration. At a meeting of the Democratic City Central Committee the other night, sev- eral resignations were bandad in, all on accouut of the division of opinion as to the handling of Stephens’ candidacy. But it is all over now, they say, and tne three remainin<z candidates will be left to ggl:’t it out—Land, Leonard and Hub- ard, ‘‘Some of tue friends of Mr. Hubbard are making a very unwise criticism of Mr. Land’s candidacy,” said a prominent Republican last night. “When they cast out the intimation that Mr. Land is iden- tified with the saloons and saloon inter- ests, with gambling and gambling inter- ests, thev are speaking of something they know nothing about. “In the first place, Mr. Land is the pro- prietor of a hotel, a public place, built for the public, conducted for the comfort and amusement of the public. He hasa piano in his parlor, he has papers in his reading- room, liguors at his bar and cards in the cardroom. Whether or not the reading- Toom or cardroom is sought by a guest is a maiter left solely to the guest’s prefer- ment. “As for Mr. Land’s private life, if the lives of some of the men who criti- cise him were as exemplary as his, there would be less card playing and less drink- ing. Through my personal acquaintance with him for twenty years I never saw him touch a drop of intoxicating liquor or play a card.” —_—— Dies at @ Lipe Old Age. GILROY, CAL, Oct. 10.—Mrs. Pheebe Mason, the oldest white resident of Gil- roy Valley, died here last evening at the advanced age of 94 years.

BLESSED WITH SOLEUN PONP Priests Lay the Corner- stone of Monterey’s New Convent. Impressive Services at the Old San Carlos Mission Grounds. The Picturesque Eullding Wili Be Ready for Occupancy Next April, Special Dispatch to THE CALL. MONTEREY, CaL, Oct. 10.—In and about old San Carlos Mission Church to- day a scene was presented which in voint of picturesqueness seemed far removed from prosaic America, and an onlooker could well believe himself in a city of old Spain. The quaint architecture of the church, its rel.cs of the mission padres and the olive skin and dark eyes of most of the people who whispered constantly in musical Spanish served to heighten the illusion, and when the procession of acolytes and priests bearing sacrea em- blems issued from the ancient portai of the church on its way to lay thecorner- stone of the new convent the picture was one not soon to be foreotten. The convent building, the establish- ment of which has long been a cherished plan of Rev. Father Mestres, the priest of this parish, is now a reality, and the cere- mony of to-day in the laying of its corner- stone marked an epoch of mno little im- portance in Monterey’s history. With all the pomp and solemnity = which the church of Rome knows so well how to employ the house was begun, and another scene as impres-ive will be that when the completed building is dedicated this com- ing Easter. The churck and the grounds surround- ing it were crowded with people when the formal service was opened at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The procession was formed in front of the main altar, and was composed of the acolytes carrying vrocessional cross and candlesticks,-the Ladies’ Altar Socie'y, Young Ladies’ So- dality of the Blessed Virgin, Young Men’s Sodality of St. Aloysius, Holy Angels Sodality, the San Carlos Council Y. M. 1., which acted as escort of honor to the officiatinz clergy, and the clergy, among whom were Rev. Fathers Hugh Mc- Namee of Santa Cruz, the orator of the day; R. M. Ferrer of Gonzalez, P. Stoters of Salinas, M. Mahoney of Castroville, B. Smith of Holiister, V. Closa of San Juan and R. M. Mestres'of Monterey. The priests wore their gorgeous ceremo- nial vestments and carried missals and other relizious insignia. As the proces- sion passed from the church to where the great stone was made ready to be lowered upon the newly laid foundation the choir sang the litanies. While the stone was being lowered into place the psalm, “Unless the Lord build the house,” was sung, and then Father Ramon M. Mestres placed an iron coffer containing various documents, blessed medals, coins and other appropriate arti- clesin the stone and gaveit the three taps with his silver trowel, and after following the prescribed ritual the procession re- formed and returned to the church. Then Rev. Father McNamee of Santa Cruz delivered the oration, taking **Chris- tian Education” as his main idea. His langusge was strong and well chosen. In referring to the old days when the Domin- ican Convent, whose place the new con- vent 1s to till, was a flourishing institution of Monterey, he touched the chord of pleasant memories in many of his hearers’ hearts. The last survivor of the sistes hood of that old convent died two years ago. The aiternoon’s ceremonies closed with the benediction of the blessed sacrament. The new convent will be conducied by the Sisters of St. Joseph, a noted educa- tional order, and the building will be ready for occupancy in April. In design it will conform to its historical surround- ings and wili be commodious and sab- siautial, as well as i ROBBERS TAKE TOLLS ON AN ELECTRIGCAR Passengers on the Oregon City Motor Line Robbed by Masked Men. Thirty-Five Persons Searched by One Bandit, While His Ac- complice Stands Guard. Special Dispatch to THE CALIL, PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 10.—A car on the Oregon City Electric line was held up by two masked men at Meldrum station, four miles from Oregon City, at about 7 o'clock to-night. There were thirty-five passengers aboard and the highwaymen searched the pockets of all of them, securing about $90. The motorman slowed down when he came to the switch at Meldrum station. One of the robbers jumped ox the front end of the car and with revolver in hand ordered the motorman to stop the car while the second robber climbed on the rear end. Conductor John Anderson stepped inside and quickly turned out the lights, but he was held a prisoner by the man on the rear platform, who stood guard with a revolver. The robber w ho boarded the car in front made the motorman go inside. Then he quietly searched each passenger, joking as he went through the car. Many of the passengers put their money and valuables into their shoes or dropred them on the foor. One man had $18 in his pocket- book, but he put all except 75 cents into his sboe and when bhis turn came to hand over his money he simply gave up the 75 cents and the robber was satistied. Several women on the car showed rare presence of mind by putting their money and valuables into their siockings, After interviewing every passenger on the car they backed out, all the time keep- 1ng their revolversready, and disappeared in the woods. The car then pulled out for Portland, arriving at about 8 o’clock. The police were notified and detectives sent in pursuit of the robbers. —_— LUCKY CHINESE MINERS.

The Widow and Dan Dutchar Sald to Have Prearranged the Killlng. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 10.—There prom- ises to be some sensational developments at the trial of Mrs. Schcfield and Dan Datcher for the murder of George W. Schofield, which commences to-morrow. District Attorney Herrington and Sher.ff Lyndon have unearthed some new evi- dence. By this they declare it will be proven that the murder of the Llagas rancher was the result of a conspiracy between Mrs. Schofield and Dutcher to kil the former’s busband; that the murder was actually done and that the deed was committed on the evening of August 6 instead of the morning ot August7, as claimed. Ever since the killing District Attorney Herrington has held to the idea that Schofield had been dead for from twelve to eizhteen hours when the killing was reported and the body viewed by neigh- bors. Witnesses will swear that the blood that dropped from the body when first viewed by neighbors was coagulated ana dry, and that, too, ona cold and foggy morning within an hour after the time of bis death as given by the prisoners. To prove that the kijjing did not take place at the hour stated, a rancher living in the vicinity of Madrone will swear that no shot was fired at the Schofield ranch on that morning. He will testify that he was out deer-hunting, and between 4 and 5:30 o’'clock, during which time it is claimed Schofield was killed, he was on a hill bat a shortdistance from the Scbotield ranch lying in wait for deer, and woula surely have heard it had ashot been fired. Strong circumstantial evidence will be relied upon to support the theory that a conspiracy to kill Schofield was entered into petween Mrs. Schofield and Dutcher. If the killing had been done in self-de- fense or to protect Mrs. Schofield there would have been no need to concoct the story about a heavily bearded man com- mitting the crime, afier lying around the house all night and throwing rocks at the house, awailing an ovpporiunity to kill Schofield. 1If the defendants had adhered to their original story it is believed that conviction would have been impossible. It is said that the woman who had charge of the Schoficld place for a few days following the murder mnae some im- portant discoveries. Tne shells Dutcher threw out of the rifle after shooting Scho- field have been tound, and not in the place where they should have been, according to Dutchber’s story. It is understood some strong testimony will be introduced in connection with them. S-parate trials will be demanded by the defendants, and an effort will be made to prove seli-defense. Pt C il SWIKDLER ARLINGTON AGAIN. The Confidence Man Who Victimizes Women Finds Himself in Jail Cnce More, SAN JOSE, CArL., Oct. 10.—Arthur Ar- lington, a confidence man wanted in this city on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, was brought hera this evening by Detective Anderson from Oak- land, where he was arrested yesterday. Arlington, who is over 50 years of age, operates among women. He came to this city about a month ago and succecded in fleecing several women out of smail sums of money. He went about from house to house inquiring for rooms, saying he was a widower with a little girl 10 years of age and wanted to enzage a room £0 she could attend school here. Arlington always offered a little above the usual price and in rewurn would ask that the landlady en- tertain a motherly solicituae for his daughter. After selecting aroom he would dis- cover that he was a _little short of cash. He would exhibit a drait on a bank for a good round sum, but as the banks were closed he would be unable to pay at pres- ent. He would then borrow acouple of dollars from the lady to tide him over until the morrow. This was the way he victimized Mrs. E. F. Smith out of $2 and it is for this offense he was brought back. About a dozen other women here were swindled in a similar manner. A couple of yearsago Arlington oper- ated 1n this city. At that time he swin- dled a number of grass widows and servant girls out of sums of moneyv. He would bire them as housekeepers and then borrow theic money. Arlington was arrested then but managed to escape punishment. He is an ex-convict and has served two terms San Quentin as a re- sult of his swind!ing operations. A short time ago he was arrested in San Fran- cisco on the same charge. SALT LAKE, Urag, Oct. 10.—Brakeman J. E.

Under Unfavorable Condi. tions Both Teams Break the Coast Record. Serles of Accidents Prevents the Gritty Nevadans From Win= ning the Trophy. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. RENO, NEv., Oct. 10.—Over 2000 pzople witnessed the fifty-mile bicycle race to- day between the Sacramento and Reno teams. The race started with Welch for Sacramento and Snare for Keno. On the first mile and pefore a quarter had been ridden Snare wrenched his handle bars and bent the left toe clip. He rode the mile out on his wheel, but on the second mile changed to another. On! the third he again changea to his first wheel. This accident gave Sacramento a lead of 253 seconds in the first relay, In the next relay Reno’s rider, Shaver, who was pitted against Riddle, closed considerable of the zap and Thompson, who followed against Shearer, caught his man, but could not pass him. Johnson of Renoand Trembosch started together and kept that position until the fourth mile, when Johnson, who was trail- | ing, struck Trembosch’s wheel and was thrown heavily to the ground. As soon as possible he remounted, although sore from Lis fall, and grittily continued his relay, but he had lost nearly a half mile. From this on Reno gradually gained, Sa ramento finishing about a quarter of a mile ahead. Had it not been for the accidents it is be- lieved Reno woula have won the race. As it was, the coast record was iowered by both teams, Sacramento making the fifty miles 1n 2:19:31 1-5, while Reno’s time was 3 Stanley of Reno made the best five miles, his time being 13:02{, and Thomp- son of Reno made the best individual time, 2:23}4. When it is considered that the track nere is 125 yards over a mile, making three and a half miles and 270 feet extra riding in the fifty miles, the time made is exceptionally good, and as Sacramento rode without mishap the | R:no men do not feel their deieat very keenly. WORK ON WARSEIS AT MARE ISLAND Gunboat Marietta Ready for Her Cruise to Alaskan Waters. Progress of the PRepairs on the Monitors Monadnock and Monterey. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. VALLEJO, CaL, Oct. 10.—The gunboat Marietta, which has been detailed in place of her sister-ship, the Wheeling, to relieve the Concord in, Alaskan waters, has about completed preparations for her northern cruise. Deckhouses have been bu.lt over the hatches on the main deck and addi- tional steam-heaters placed on board to make her more habitable during the cola season. She is now lying in the stream, having taken on a full supply of coal. It is tha intention of Commander Symonas to drop down to San Francisco within a fewdays to take on stores, sailing for Sitka about next Sunday. | Although the Baltimore has not yet | been put into commission, details of offi- | cers and men from other shipslying at | the yard have been made for temporary | duty, and the work of putting on stores is | progressing rapidly, so that there will be very little to do =after the Philadelpia’s crew is transferred to her. The United States steamship Marion has been survey>d with a view of fitting her up for the apprentice training service. It was found that she would not be worth extensive repairs, and it was recommended by Naval Constructor Baxter that she receive only such repairs as would enable her to cruise in that service uatil the old Mohican, a vessel of the same class, now lying at the navy yard, can be got into readiness. If this recommendation is carried out, the Marion will probably make one tour with the apprentices bafore | being laid up in “Rottzn Ro or sold. The monitor Monterey, which went into the drydock on Monday last, will be| removed early this week, Her officers say | § that she is in excellent condition and thar, with the minor repairs and changes now authorized, she will be in perfect trim at the end of twenty days. The monitor Monadnock is still at the navy-yard awaiting the completion of her repairs, but 1s in such condition that she | : could leave the yard for an extended | cruise at a few hours’ notice. Work on the Charlesion is progressing steadily, but is not being rushed, as was | contemvlated by the department’s order of ten days ago. All overtime work at the navy-yard has been stopped. The marriage of Ensign James J. Raby, U. 8. N., of the Marietta to Miss Jeanette Callaghan of San Franc.sco will take place on Tuesday next, instead of on March 4, owing to the ship’s sudden or- ders to go to Alaska.
