THE MARINE DRAMA.
Sufferings of the Crew OF the Republic
Re-enacted at Sutro Baths.


The story of suffering and dreadful ex-
periences which the crew of the burned
| ship Republic underwent, and which was
| told in THE CALL of April 25 last, will be
gone over and graphically depicted at
Sutro Baths next Saturday afternoon and
eTening for the benefit of the saved sea-
men.
The Republic, and also the HOLLYWOOD,
which saved the men, will be represented
| afloat in the large tank of the baths, fully
rigged and manned, just as they were at
the time the Republic was deserted. The
whole of the experienc ices of the fearful ten
DAYS and nights after the fire was discov-
cred and before the HOLLYWOOD was sight
ed will be fully represented, and the re-
ceipts of the day and evening will be en-
| tirely for the poor men who barely es-
capped with their lives. The scene will
begin when the fire was first discovered;
thin spiral columns of smoke will be seen
creeping from the fore hatch; the crew
will man tae pumps and fight the flames,
which will. nevertheless, gain steadily
upon them IN spite of all.
The fore and main matches will be blown
off, and everybody on board forced to go
aft. The II Hollinwood will be sighted and sig
nailed to stand by; the explosions become
more and more frequent, until finally the
foremast goes by the board the fire con-
tinues to gain headway, the captain of the
Republic decides to abandon his ship and
signals the HOLLYWOOD to that effect; the
| lifeboats are manned and the work of
rescue completed.
The men are grateful to Mayor Sutro
for his offer of benefit for them, and are
entering heartily into the spirit of tie
| affair.
| The evening performance will appear to
| particular advantage; for the great build
ing will be darkened, and the light of the
| burning vessel will cast glare over the
water and add greatly to the realism.

Kansas Legislators of Either Party Not

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec lG--Just now
the signs are that the repu blicans will
not go into legislative caucus this
winter So far as they have expressed
themselves, not q senator or repre-
sentative has declared in favor of
caucus, and a number have been out
spoken against one. The latter say
there will be no valid reason for a eau
Gus unless the populists shall manifest
an intolerant spirit, and that seems to
be far from the intentions of
the majority. The populists, even
without the democrats and free
silver republicans, will have
a clear majority over all, and they
therefore can afford to be fair and to
go in with the minority and legislate
for the good of the whole people. OF
course, should the populists nominate
their candidate for United States sem
ator by a caucus, the republicans prob
ably would make a nomination also,
but even that would depend on tho
spirit manifested by the populists.
