CALIFORNIA IN FOR nor WORK.
Senatorial and Gubernatorial Contest in
the Legislature.

Sacramento, Jan. 6.-The California
state legislature meets tomorrow and
the session promises to be a peculiarly
interesting one. The election of United
States senator and the proposed contest
over the governorship are matters that
will demand immediate attention. For
the senatorship, George A. Perkins, the
present incumbent, and NJ. II. De Young,
proprietor of the San Francisco Chron-
icle, are the ones most prominently
mentioned, and as the legislature is
largely republican, of course a repub-
lican will be elected.
The republican state committee will
ask the legislature to pass bill at the
beginning of the session restraining the
speaker of the house from canvassing
the vote for governor on the ground
that Governor-eleot Budd was elected
by fraud. Governor Markham has sig
nifed his intention Of turning the office
over to Budd.

Napoleon's Passion for Writing.

His passion for writing had never
been extinguished since the first rude
beginning of childhood. Although he
never learned to spell, he did eventu-
ally learn the secret of that concise
and masterful style which character
ICES so much of his voluminous corre-
spondence. The thirty enormous vol
umes of his letters published by COM
mission under the Second Empire,
though giving most of what he wrote
before 1904, are for the remaining
years of his reign little more than
scanty selections obsequiously and
ingeniously chosen to increase his
fame and hide his faults. But from
these and from She testimony of con-
temporaries the astonishing extent
and character of his occupation are
clearly shown.--Prof. w. NJ Sloan's

movement has been under way in the
lodges of the Clan Ma Gaels in this

among the best Irishmen military
companies. In this city alone there is
a well drilled and equipped regiment
of 500 men, and companies and regi-
ments are in process of formation

other large cities. It is said the
whole movement is a scheme to pre-
pare well trained and armed body
of men to be used when there is an OPP
portunity to free Ireland. This scheme
is denied by the leaders of the move
ment, who declare that the men are
drilled for the purpose of furnishing
the United States with trained soldiers
in case of an emergency; but, notwith-
standing this assertion, it has leaked
out that Ireland's cause is the princi-
pal object of the movement. One of
the oaths which every recruit takes, it
is said, is to serve the cause of Ireland.
