amount of business during the campaign.
Owing to Colonel Chamberlain's tenn
porary absence j. l.. Fields has been ap-
pointed acting vice-chairman in connection
with general league work, and j. +. Knapp
has been appointed one of the league club
organizers.
In consequence of the numerous commu-
ncations received By the league relative to
its requirements for admission, the advan-
tages 10 be derived from membership, etc,
the committee on club organization is pre-
pairing q circular covering these points
which will soon be issued.
The first supply OF league buttons has
been ordered from the Eas. and is expected
to arrive within a few days. They will be
issued to clubs at cost, and precautions will
be taken to guard against their improper
use by organizations or individuals not con-
nscted with the league.
The committee on finance, of which K. H.
DelafieId ls chairman, is outlining plan
for the securing of funds for payment of
the general expenses of the league, it being

from clubs as light as possible and devote
the money received from this source to the
preparation, purchase and forwarding OF

Fuller chairman, Is gathering the neces-
sary data and information regarding the

held at Buffalo. September /.
The special committee 10 draft plan for
the county branches of the league has pre-
pared its report, which will be submitted 10
the sub-executive committee for action at
its next meeting.
Colonel w. III. CbamberlaiB, president of
the league, was quite enthusiastic last night
over the increased interest taken i'm il by the
clubs as the opening of the campaign draws
near. The evidences of this were piled up
around him In the shape of communications
from all parts Of the State and piles of in
terror papers sent by the publishers for use
In the league headquarters.
Though the Interest IN the league is
great, still the letters show there is good
deal OF misconcepton in the minds of peo-
pie regarding the nature of its work." said

whole city has been alive and enthusiastic
in the work of PREPARATION.
The morning dawned bright, and all day
long the weather has been clear, without
fog or wind. The excitement grew intense
as the time approached for the parade, and
people came fOcking 10 the city on every
train and boat. Business Of all kinds was
entirely suspended and all the mills In The
county closed down at noon.
The inelOsure was torn away from the
newly built Edison block. giving the people
their first uninterrupted view OF this hand

block across the line of parade was stretched
an Immense banner, one side having the in
seription Democrats, vote for our benefactoI
Hon. Charles n. Felton," and the reverse
publicans, vote for our benefactor, Hon.
I. j. Geary."
The demonstration was simply a parade,

sion and every small boy was armed with
horn, and all the drummcrs in town
were provided with instruments. Threa
trains over the Eel River road brought
2500 people, aud the boats from
north as many more, all in holiday garb and
bent on jollifcati0n. The most perfect
order prevailed. The procession was a
mile and half long, aud the line of march
so packed with people as to impede prog

Burning Of the Old Nsglee House at San
Jose Last Night.
SAN JOSE, July 23.-The Naglee mansion,
built by General Nag ee Of brandy fame
over 50 years ago. and occupied by j.
Nagiee Burke. was burned tonight. The
cause Of the fire was defective flue. The
fremen had great difficulty in reaching the
house, because IL was situated far in a
thickly wooded park. The loss to the con-
tents is about $1,000, and to the building
5000 more. The place was magnifcently
furnished, but thousands of dollars worth
OF furniture was saved, as the fire burned
from the roof down, enabling the crowd 10
assist in its removal The place was fully
insured. The house stood on the corner
Of Santa Clara and Eleventh streets, on the
bank of Coyote Greek, and, with its beauti-
ful grounds, was one Of the Show-places Of
Sau Jose. There was at least S100, 600
worth of brandy in the vaults close to the
house, but the fire, luckily, did not spread

leave for Portland Monday. They 90 to
the latter city for consultation with prom
nent shippers regarding traffic matters
that have been called to the attention OF
the Commissioners. General Veasey said
that he was Informed that discrimina-
tion against which the interstate COM
merce law is aimed has been re-
dueed 90 per cent since the law
went into effret. There were still serious
complaints, however, particularly on the
Pacific Coast. In many cases the commits
sion was unable to get at the facts and
would not be able To do so until Congress
should pass some such bill as the Commits
sion had drawn and presented to it at the
beginning OF the present session. The bill
was drawn on lines suggested by the Su-
preme Court IN the Counsellman case. and
would enable the commission 10 secure evil
dence that it cannot now reach.

DEMOCRATS IN A PICKLE.
Discussions That Are Beginning to Cause
Trouble.


Rumors of dissensions in the Democratic
rarity continue to grow more frequent as
the time for holding the municipal conven-
tions draws nearer. While reports of this
nature are pretty apt to spring up at any
time, the stories which are now afioat bear
at least the semblance of truth, aud come
from such quarters as to make them seem
plausible to high degree. The ill feeling
Is between the old Buckley gang on the one
side aided by such men as McNab. ana the
ReorganiZers on the other headed by Joe
Dwyer and j. +. Sullivan.
The Buckley men claim openly that Sui
livan and Dwver have entered into a COM
bination TO set themselves up as bosses, and
are working to that end with might and
main. Sullivan, it is bluntly asserted, has
opened Headquarters in the Nevada block,
and is reaching out in all directions to form
an offensive and defensive alliance.
Wherever a man Is found who can control
precinct or a district, he is dragged into
camp and told he can have what he wants
in return for his delegates. In this way. it
is alleged. Sullivan and Dwyer hope to die
tate the Democratic nominations aud gain
control OF the local organization.
Said one prominent local Democrat to-day
to CALL reporter: You know, of course,
thatI was anxious TO secure a nomination

WAR ON THE DIVES.
San Bernardino Takes a Decisive Step for
Moralitv


SAN BERNARDISO, July 23.-The long
threatened war OH the dives began at an
early hour this morning, when warrants
were Issued for the arrest of 20 inmates of
houses of i'll fame. When the police made
their descent on the houses on First street
in the darkness the lights were extinguished
and the women fled, scattering among the
lodging houses and cheap boarding places
This morning the police began to hunt for
them, and, as they are known, no great
d fiiculty was found in arresting most of
them. A committee, composed of 60 of the
best citizens of the town, Is back If this
movement. They will continue arresting
the women so long as they remain IN their
present quarters, IN the heart of The town.
PORTLAND. Or, July 2&-Chief of Police
Spencer has inauguTated vigorous policy
against the dives and dancehouses in the
north end OF the city, and tonight he made
about one hundred arrests of persons con-
nected with saloons and!a number of we'll
known young men about town who were
found in the dives.

Nightingale Denies 1T.

1t has been bruited about on the streets
for the last day or two that prominent
real estate man and John Nightingale, the
millionaire, intend organizing citizens
movement and that they contemplate man,
ing committee of 80 prominent and inffu-
ential men TO prepare for convention. So
far as can be learned the story is mere
rumor aud lacks a foundation in fact. In
the first place the real estate man is resi-
dent OF another county, and in the second
place Mr.. Nightingale pleads ignorance OF
any such plan as suggested.
Said the latter yesterday: eff any such
move is contemplated l know nothing about
It and it has never been mentioned to me-
III 1t were to be undertaken it would have
my support, for l am certainly of the opin
ion that something of the kind Is badly
needed"

FELTON, to Remain East.

A rumor was set in circulation yesterday
TO the effect that De Young had retired from
the Senatorial contest, but this was quickly
suppressed by that gentleman's friends who
denied it most emphatically. 1t probably
grew out of the fact that Senator FELTON,,
who was expected home soon after the ad-
journment of Congress, is not to be home
now until Sentember. The fact Of the mat
ter is that FELTON, has concluded, wisely
perhaps, that it would be poor politics TO
attempt to put up nominees for the Legisla-
ture, and will wait until after the election
to begin his fight
