The headquarters of the Morrow Club
was the scene of gay festivities last even
ing. and the large assemblage OF enthusi-
astic Republicans gathered In response to
invitations issued for thigh jinks" were
well rewarded with most pleasing even
Ing of merriment and rejoicing.
When the president, A. j. Campbell Jr.,
called the meeting to order there was
standing room only for those who had
CHANGED to come late, and the large ball. at
the corner of Powell aud Union streets,
was crowded to suffocation.
Mr.. Campbell addressed the interested
throng on the grand Waterloo achieved by
the Republican party during the recent
elections throughout the union, and heart
lily welcomed all who responded to the ca
for CONGRATULATIONS on the grand victory.

N. M. Ballad, a Russian Refugee, In.
duces the Prisoners to Tell
True Story.

There is room for doubt whether the ten
Russian fugitives who arrived in San Fran
cisco last week from Saghalien prison are
criminal or political convicts. 1t would
seem that the self-incriminated refugees
told fairy stories about the causes for their
exile from Russia to Saghalien, believing
that nihiists and political cOnvicts would
be harshly dealt with, and possibly sent
back TO the forbidding Siberian island.
In the main their horrifying description of
the cruelties of Russian prison officials,
the hopelessness of Punishment from home
and friends. their own daily round of hard
ships and escape, as told already. is correct.

NJ. Camille Flammarion, the well
