Yesterday the members of our Board
OF Supervisors, headed by Mr.. Tesche-
maker, the President, visited the Japa-
nese steamer Candinmarro, lying in the
stream, short distance northeast from
Vallejo street wharf. The day was
exceedingly beautiful, the water being
as smooth and bright as mirror. The
visitors were received at the gangway
with the ceremonies usually practccd

them to Capt. Kat Lintarroh. and by
him conducted to the presence of the
Admiral, and their rank made known
The interview was marked by courtesy
and refinement, the Japanese appearing
quite pleased. Between three and four
O'Clock P. NJ, the AdmiraPs boat was
called away, and in few minutes was
pulling for shore, with the Admiral, his
interpreter, two captains, and several
other Japanese officers, besides Lieu
tenant Brooks, U. S. N. They landed
1T Vallejo street wharf in the presence
of large number Of our citizens, and
we're received by the Board of Supervi-
'ors, who had preceded them, and who
ordered carriages to be in attendance.
IN mounting the steps, President
feschemaker stepped down to the boat
o assist the Admiral; but one of the
captains signifed to Mr.. Teschemaker
hat he should follow behind the Admi-
al. Lieut.. Brooks, however, informed
he japanese that Mr.. Teschemaker was
# equal rank with the Admiral, who
Immediately accompanied him, the two
Walking side by side. A lane was
pened amid those present by order of
he Supervisors, aud the Japanese Off
ials conducted to their carriages, each
ehicle moving in the order of the rank
t its occupants. The Japanese were
attired, and we presume were
OF in full dress, but their garments
7ere composed of rich stufs. Each one
arried two swords and walking cane.

eemed to enjoy all they saw, but still
vinced good deal of Indian stoicism. {

the visitors that they must not think {
of the curiosity they excited,
7 it was because the Americans liked
