JULIUS KAHN'S SPEECH.
The Fourth Districts Candidate De
Hvers an Eloquent Address at
California Hall

Under the auspices of the Olympia Re-
publican Club julius Kahn last night ad-
dressed large gathering of citizens at
California Hail. J. D. Hart presided
When Mr.. Kahn concluded several other
speakers made brief speeches congratu-
latory of the candidate from the Fourth
District and ,enuncating the principles
for which he stands.
Mr.. Kahn began by stating that he felt
completely at home among his friends
and life long associates, and declared that
their confidence in him would never be
misplaced. The present campaign, he
SAID, was one of tremendous import to
the entire State, and its successful termi-
nation could not fail to be an unqualified
Endorsement of that great statesman
William Mckinley
We cannot afford to make mistakes"
continued the speaker. 'and we will not.
We have much to ask from the admins
tration, and we can only get 1t by earn
ing 1t by our work. Then we shall be en-
Titled to 1t and may demand 1t as a mat
ter or right and not mere favor"
Mr.. Kahn spoke eloquently of our new
territorial acquisitions and the extensive
held which they presented to American
enterprise, energy and capital, and he as
serted that along with the probleII of
their government should be considered
the manifold and varied outlook which
they present for the Pacific Coast in
trade and commerce.
'One great trouble with California"
he said in concluding, rs the fact that
the State has always been on the wrong
side of the national administration. When
the administration is Democratic the
State has been Republican, and the con-
trary holds. But now we shall be with
the majority, with the Intelligent think
ers of America. and at the polls we shall
be confronted only with the question of
the magnitude Of our victory. We shall
be In line this time, and California will
be new political quantity to be reckoned
with in the councils of the nation"

Body Of an Unknown Washed Ashore
at Mare Island

VALLEJO, Sept. 13-The body Of an
unknown man was found on the western
shore of Mare Island this morning. 1t
had been in the water for some time.
Deceased was a man about so years of
aTce of the body gave grounds for a sus-
picion of foul play. An autopsy showed
there had been hemorrhage of the brain.
and bruise on the temple seemed to JUS
tffy the theory of murder. There was
nothing by which to identify the man,
and the body was so badly decomposed
that it must be inferred at once. Coroner
Trull will delay the inquest till to-mor-
row, to see If anything further can be
learned.
