The Assistant Secretary of the In- terior Thinks California Is a Strong Republican State. Webster Davis, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and one of the prominent politicians of the country, arrived in this city yesterday morning. His visit to the coast is partly for pleasure, but chiefly for political reasons. Since leaving his home in Kansas City, Mr. Davis has delivered a number of speeches on national topics. On Saturday evening he spoke to a vast audience in Sacramento. This evening he will ad- dress a meeting at Oakland; Tuesday evening at San Jose; Wednesday he w be heard at Modesto; Fresno, Thursda Bakersfleld, Frid and Los Angeles Sat- urda’ One week from to-night he will address a San Francisco audience and then go north Mr. vis d last night in the Palace Hotel: “The country looks Republican and if the meeting which I attended in Sacramento on Saturday night may be taken as a ba of judgment this State is certainly of the same spirit and the Re- publican party will be victorious in the coming efection. 1 have been stumping for the party for some weeks and it is my_ sincere belief that Republicanism to-day is stronger than ever before. The people seem to be in accord with the ad- ministration and they should be. The next few yvears will be trying ones and the President will need the support of the people. MeKinley has well deserved the confilénce of the public. He has worked incessantly since the difficulty with Spain began, refusing to rest from his labors in the heat of summer when all others considered their work done for the time.” Cinad S THIS WEEK’'S WORK.

York. the ltberal orator, ad- dressed a large an enthusiastic audience at Scottish Halil last evening upon ‘“‘Poli- tical and Religlous Evolution.” Speaking of the political situation Dr. Centr: enj York sald: “From my standpoint the Democratic party is the home of the un-American element in this country. It is not a great liberty party, and from its national record of forty years it has been found wanting in statéesmanship and con- structive ability and unfit to control the destiny of this nation. The varied inter- ests of this republic will find greater pro- tection and security in reatining our pres- ent national administration during rhe present_crisis of affairs. “Let McKinley and a gress finish their work and place our country beyond the clouds of war, with a peace that will preserve the respect and honor of this nation with the nations of the whole world. ““Maguire and Phelan are both dema~ gues seeking office 'mid the dust of | alse {ssues. Ve find to-day only the two great parties from which to choose, and we draw the line at this hyda-headad combination known as the fusion party.” R Republican Con- | s They Indorsed Patton.

GAGE DID NOT SPEAK AT WILLOWS Misunderstanding Between Commit- tees—Contemptible Act of J. Aubrey Jones. WILLOWS, Oct. 23.—The citizens of Willows, Democrats and Repubilcans alike, are extremely indignant over the account of Henry T. Gage's reception here yesterday, as printed in Magulre's organ at San Francisco. That Mr. Gage did not deliver an address here is true, but the cause of the disappointment to the large crowd of people who were here Jesterday lies between the State Central Committee and the local committee. When Mr. Gage alighted from the train he started for an eating house, and when he was escorted to the improvised stapd he was amazed and surprised, knowing nothing of & reception or occasion for a speech. His apology was ample, good- natured and should have been sufficient. The cheers for Maguire came from mis- chievous youngsters, but that stones werg thrown at the car is not true, nor was any insult offered to Mr. Gage. On the contrary, his reception was enthu- siastic and sincere, and that even one vote was lost to Mr. Gage by the unfor- tunate mistake of the local committée in advertising a twenty-minute speech here, is not true. 'The only loss of votes will fall upon J. Aubrey Jones, the Dem cratic nominee for Congress, who so di gracefully took advantage of the occa- gion to harangue the crowd. He will lose many Silver Republican votes through his conduct, which every good Democrat deplores. —_———— Mr. Lilienthal Honored. On Thursday evening last E. R. Lillen- thal was presented with a beautiful al- bum by the retail liquor dealers of the Red Cross Soclety, in appreciation of his work in bebalf of the latter socfety. It was beaatifully bound in red moroeco, and the accompanying resolutions were the artistic work of Henry London. Harry B. Adler acted as chairman of the pres- entation eommittee, which also_contained Jesse B. Marks, E. G. Osborn, J. M. Par- ier, R. H. Fischbeck, J. E. Cfumb, T. M. Ferguson, Charles A. Gtreen and W. F. Roeder. The presentation speech by Mr. Marks met with an appropriate response from Mr. Lilienthal. —————————— Young Men Missing. Alfred Falrweather, an employe of the London and Parls Bank, and Richard Drum, his companion, are missing.

PROBABLE LOSSES IN EAST WILL BE OFFSET BY THE GAINS IN THE WEST. | Many Who Deserted the Grand Old Party on the Silver Issue Are Expected to Return to the Fold. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The Washing- | ton correspondent of the Herald tele- | graphs: Republican control of the next House of Representatives seems cer- tain unless there is a political landslide in favor of the Democrats on Novem- ber 8. In the present House the Republicans have a clear majority over all opposi- tion of fifty-six. It is hardly possible that they will have so large a majority in the next House, but present indica- tions are that they will control by a safe majority. They will lose a number of districts in the East and in Illinois, which are nominally Democratic and which they ecould not have hoped to carry but for the popular uprising against Bryanism in 1896. It is improbuble, however, on the | other hand that they will gain enough | districts in the West to compensate for | some of those lost in the East. The best information indicates that there are 162 districts in which the elec- | tion of Kepublicang is practically as- sured. In 124 districts the election of Democrats may be considered certain. In five districts the Populists are sure of success, and three more will be car- ried by Silver men who owe allegiance to nefther Democrats nor Populists. There are sixty-three districts that may be classed as doubtful. Of these the Republicans seem to have the best ¢hance in thirty-seven, the Democtats in eighteen and the Populists in eight. Some of the leading features of the campaign are the going back to the regular organization of thousands of Democrats, especially in the East, who left it on account of the silver issue in 1896, and the apparent breaking up of the Populist forces in many States, due | Democratic party and many others, es- pecially in the West, going back to the Republican party, from which they were attractea by the argument that depreciated money meant prosperity. These two movements of voters explain the probable Democratic gains in the East and probable Republican gains in the West. On the Paclific Coast the Republicans have already elected two Representa- tives from Oregon, and while it is prob- able Washington will réturn a Demo- crat and a $ilver man, the strength of the territorial expansion sentiment in California will probably lead to Repub- lican gains in that State. CUBAN FACTIONS IN THE ASSEMBLY The Garcia and Cespedes Men Fail to Speak on the Way to the Meeting. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 23—The steamer Reina de Los Angeles returned Cespedes factions to Banta Cruz del Sur to attend the Cuban Assembly. Her cap- tain reports that during the voyage nei- ther faction spoke to the other. On ar- rival at the destination they were recefved back Mass to the residence of Senor Bartolome President of the so-called Provi- slonal Cuban Government, which was Eavly decorated with Cuban flags. About 2lf the delegates assembled convened for the selection of officials of the permanent Cuban Government, had arrived. When the vessel left it was expected that the opening of the Assembly, fixed for Oc- tober 20, would be el:gred a few days in order to ?ve the remaining delegates an opportunity to arrive. TWO MORE BATTLES FOUGHT IN FORMOSA Hundreds of Natives Killed by Japa- nese Troops—Overflow of the Yellow River. CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—A special to the Record from Tacoma says: The steam- ship Victorla brings the news that two more battles have been fought in Formosa between Japanese troops and the native savages, who seem bent on exterminating all the Japanese on the island. So seri- ous are the disturbances that Europeans and numbers of Chinese merchants are fleeing to Amoy by every steamer. A month ago 1000 aborigines attacked and set fire to ome of the principal Japan- ese military stations. After eight hours’ desperate fighting the natives retreated. In this battle more than 200 were Killed. On the following day a large band of na- tives advanced to Hankyo, burning the station at Tajao. Japanese troops reach- ed Hankyo at the same time and sur- prised the aborigines in their headquar- ters at Ankow, which was burned. In another battle scores of natives were shot down. The Formosa rebels have been supplied with arms and equipments by the Chinese, hundreds of whom have landed from Amoy. The overflowing of thg Yellow River in Shantung gruvlnce has caused the most appallin; isaster of modern times in Central China. Villages were swept away by hundreds. One hupdred thousand peo- ple are ruined and homeless, crouching along the river banks in the pitiless rain. Two thousand were drowned. The gen- eral distress is augmented by the spoil- ing of the cerenl crops by floods. Famine will prevall this winter in a district D= ulated by more than one million people.

Closing Cruise of Corinthians and San Franciscos Presented & Lovely Sight. Never during the yachting season of 1898 has a prettier sight been seen on the bay of San Francisco than was presented yesterday by the Corinthian fleet. Shorte ly after 11 o'clock in the morning nearly thirty yachts, foliowing the flagship Eolus, salled in squadron to Sausalito. Thence they directed their course toward the Heads, and later salled along the city water front. There was a fair breeze and no sea. During the morning the tide ran out and In the afternoon flooded, so the conditions were favorable for a chan- nel cruise. Besides the Corinthian fleet Commodore Dr. T. L. HilI's Cygnus sail- ed out to the Golden Gate, followed by A. Sutherland’s Catherine and J. R. Sa- vory’s Juanita. The fine schooners Ra- mona and Aggie also went for a channel cr?h:e‘. s - esterday served as a most agreeal and picturesque closing day of the s:;: son.

Hill of the San Franciscos will safl his vacht up to Larkspur and lay her up there for the winter. Vice Commodore G. T. 8.

At the Strangers’ Sabbath Home, How- ard-street Methodist Episcopal Church, between Second and Third, a large con- gregation assembleu to hear the pastor, John A. B. Wilson, D.D., tackle the young man and the church problem. His theme was ‘““Has Christianity anything to offer a young man in compensation for the ser- vice which it requires.” His text was 1 Tim., iv:8, “Godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” The sermon showed the advantage in the present life of Christianity to the in- dividual and to nations, and was illus- trated by actual examples. The demon- stration was that the teachings of the Bible were in exact harmony with the laws of being, and that self-denial fur- nished its own compensation in the length of days of comfort of mind and propriety which are the legitimate outcome of prac- ticing the system, and that the character 8o developed is that unto which is prom- ised the eternal rewards of the future. The service will be continued next Sab- bath night, and young men are requested to continue writing letters to the pastor in answer to the question why do no more young men in this ecity atten church? All are requested to sign names and give their addresses. Names will not be read from the pulpit or given to the press. & e M. L. WASHBURN ARRIVES. The Report He Brings From the Cooks Inlet Gold Diggings Is - Not Encouraging. M. L. Washburn, agent for the Alaska Commercial Company, returned from Cooks Inlet yesterday, after an absence of several months. His report on the condition of affairs in that portion of Alaska is not very glowing. Washburn has made an annual trip to Alaska dur- ing the last twenty years and has a thorough knowledge of exisiting condi- tiuns in the far north. Bhortly before leaving the inlet news was brought to his camp of the wreck of a sloop, Johnson, captain. The nine men on board, miners, in search of new dig- gings, were lost. The coal belt, which commences at the Delegates From All the Principal | ;,outh of Cooks Inlet, and of which so Cities Present. Delegates from the Master Horseshoers’ Associations of Sacramento, San Jose, Stockton and San Francisco met in Na- | tive Sons’ Hall yesterday and formed a | State association. | Organizatlons of this character are com- | paratively few on the Pacific Coast, but throughout the East such assoctations are | numerous and powerful. They are en- couraged by the humane societies and ap- | proved by the most prominent horsemen, | who appreciate the beneflts a community will erive through the efforts of the| craft. | The_ following officers were elected: | President, P. W. Commins, San Franci: secretary-treasurer, J. F. Twomey, San Franclsco; assistant secretary, T. E. [ San Jose; vice-presidents, F. A. Stockton; James Lamb, Sanl Jose; C.

Pechard, Thomas Ford and James Sullivan, San Franeisco; F. A. Murray, Stockton.. After the routine much has been written, is, according to { ‘Washburn, of little value. The coal is | of a very inferfor quality, useless as a commercial product and serving the sole purpose of fuel. Washburn will return to Alaska in the spring. —_———— Drew Pistols on Girls. Thomas J.
