CALIFORNIA GOES
REPUBLICAN
ELECT GOVERNOR, FIVE CON-
GREssMBN AND LEGISLATURE.
LIvERNAsH DEFEATS KAHN.

SAN FRANCISCO, November g.
Dr. George G. Pardee, Republican ne
minee for governor was elected by a
majority of from $500 to 1000 over
Franklin K. Lane the Democratic NOM
inee.
The congressional returns from dis
tricts outside of San Francisco are not
complete, but they are sufficient TO
show that Gillette (R), has been elected
in the first district, Bell CD. in the
second, Metcalf CR), in the Third.
Needham (R). in the Sixth, McLachlan
(R.) in the Seventh and Daniels (R) in
the Eighth.
In each of the counties of the Fifth
district-San Francisco, Santa Clara
and San Mateo-a majority has been
given for Congressman LIQUIDS Demo-
cratic-Union Labor opponent Wynn
In the Fourth district made up of
part of San Francisco, the semi official
returns put LivernaBh Democratic
Union Labor 215 ahead of Congressman
Kahn. If the official returns give Liver
nash majority Kahn will contest his
election, having ample grounds to dc
so.
In the Second district Congressman
Coombs CR0, lost heavily in Marin,
Mendocino Napa, Sacramento and So
mona counties, and although the re-
turns from a large part of the district
are yet to be received, there is no APP
parent reason for hoping that he will
overcome the present lead of Bell Cd
If Kahn's contest of Livernash's cleo
ton should be successful, the Congress
sional delegation will consist of six Re-
publicans one straight Democrat and
one Union Labor-Democrat.
The Republicans will have absolute
control of the Legislature. The returns
so far received point to the election OF
twelve Republican Senators and sixty
Republican Assemblymen. One indie
pendent Republican also appears to be
elected to the Senate. The Democrats
seem to have elected six Senators and
thirteen Assemblymen. One Demo
cratic Union Labor Senator, one Unior
Labor Assemblyman and six Demo.
cratic-Union Labor nominees for the
Assembly have been elected in SaT

WAS BUFFETED
BY CROSS SEAS
SONOMA ARRIVES THIS MORNING
AFTER A VOYAGE NOT ALTO
GETHER PLEASANT.

The tOceanic steamship Sonoma, Cap
tain Van O-erendorp, arrived in port
this morning in good time, but not
quite as early as she usually makes 1T
on tho voyage hence from San Fran
cisco. She experienced very bad wedCI-
most of the way across the ocean.
On the first night out severe south
southwest blow came up with heavy
cross seas from the southwest and
northwest which lasted a good part of
the voyage, the seas only beginning 10
go down on Sunday night.
The chief officer said that while the
SonOma only experienced the southwest
wind during this blow there was evil
dence TO snow that there mad been a
very heavy northwest wind. The cross
seas into which the steamer had to
buck for so much of the voyage broke
over the vessel continually and kept
many passengers to their berths, and
most of them off the decks until the
weather became more favorable.
The Sonoma has la saloon and sixty
second cabin passengers, good pro-
portion of whom are for Honolulu. She
carries about $500 tons OF through
freight, good deal of ice house goods
for this port, besides a very large
number of packages and small con-
signments for Honolulu, the local con-
signees numbering about 100. Among
THESE conslgnmenLs are a great quantI-
ty of gloriousiy big yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS for the CornWell- Braymer we'd
ding tomorrow night.
Among the through passengers is
Mrs. d. j. Nathan, wife of one of the
most prominent shipping men in Aus
tralia.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
are Mr.. ana Mrs. Danforth Boardman,
who come on their wedding trip. Mrs.
BOardman is the daughter of Monroe
Salisbury, who was once known as the
king of star route contractors, and
Mrs. Salisbury who has been for a
number of years the social arbiter OF
san Francisco. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Boardman return to San Francisco they
will go into house which was "a we'd
ding present from the groom S father.
II. u. McClananan returns from a
professional trip to San Francisco. I.
A. Lloyd of Alexander d Baldwin re-
turned from a short trip 10 the coast.
Miss Lishman returned fronl a visit TO
her sister, Mrs. Lieutenant Merriam.
Mrs. j. G. Pratt and Mrs. l.. B. Evans
also returned. Miss Anna NJ. Paris,
who has just published a book of Ha-
waiian verse, of which the mainland
papers speak very highly, was also
returning passenger.
w. W. Dimond returned from a bust
ness trip to the coast, and j. u. Gaines
who will be superintendent here of the
Pacific Gable Companv accompanied
by his wife, arrived.
The Sonoma sails for Page Page and
the Colonies at o'clock this evening.

He had been to the boarding school
to pay surprise visit to his daugh-
ter his only child. He had parted
from her, proud to be the parent of
such a handsome maiden, pleased
with the innocence of budding WON
anhood. The principal accompanied
him to the door.
Madam" he said, with deep feel
ing, 81 owe you much for the manner
in which you have reared my child
since she has been under your care.
When I notice the contrast between
that innocent maiden and some of the
girls of her age, who have not had
the advantage of such strict supervis-
ion, l feel that l have indeed done
wisely in placing her in your charge.
and how proud you must be" said
the principal, glowing with satisfac-
ton, to be the father of so large
and devoted family"
"Large-devoted gasped the proud
parent What do you mean?"
Devoted to each other" said the
principal. mo fewer than seven OF

morrow. "-Tit-Bits.

Priest aloud, and the storm shrieked
derisively. Unconsciously his fin
gers, convulslyely touching the ma
chine, spelt these two words, and the
message was carried out into the
night, over the seas, to the sinking
ship.
There is still hope" the women
whispered; che is sending for nelp."
But the men-guessed.

The Taper still clicked, but the

stopped
What is happening now beyond that

Where is the Scotsman?
Frantically he seized the instrument
and called the Scotsman again.
He is answered: Have sighted De-

grown; the gray dawn peeps Of a sud
den through the square windows of
the little house, the Sentinel of the
Future, and touches the cold, bare
sides Of the rock at sea, the Sentinel
of the Past, and John Priest hears a
rush and swirl of waters-and then
an oppressive silence and a void. Still
he watches the machine; the Taper
quiyers; the final message slowly
spells itself: Have passed up and

That is the final message. The gray
dawn is over all now.-New York

The winter of the far north is not
wholly silent, although so little life is
manifested at that season. A para
graph from Captain Koldewey's ac-
count of his winters stay n the east
coast of Greenland remarks the
Youths Companion, makes this fact
very clear:
All these movements of the ice-the
gradual crowding and pressing, bend
ing and pushing, the breaking OF the
masses of snow lying at the lice
fcot''-do not go or nciselessly, but are
generally accompanied by certain
sounds, which are called voices" Of
the ice
Now we hear low singing, splash
inG or grumbling alternating with va
rious other noises, cracking and snap
ping; now it sounds irregularly from a
great distance, like a confusion of hui
nan voices, the changing din of train
or a sledging party, or, you fancy you
hear the steps and voices of all sorts
OF animals.
There is q charm in listening to
these sounds on still night.
