abundant prosperity Of the King was invoked in
several rounds Of champagne, and for the pipe Of
peace delicate Havanas were substituted.
On the arrival Of the palace train at the Sixth
street depot the King, escorted on his right and
left by Secretary Fish and Mr.. Commissioner
Allen, walked through the depot to the main B
street entrance. On this street full battalion
of Marines were drawn up in line, and as the
King stood in the doorway Of the depot they
presented arms, while the full Marine band
played appropriate music The companies of
Marines were formed in marching order, and be-
tween them the carriages engaged to convey the
royal party to the Arlington were drawn up.
The first was occupied by

who was received by the Washington populace
with every mark Of honor and consideration and

WHILE THE PROCESSION
was moving up street TO Seventh and into the
Avenue, Mr.. widows added TO the joy all seemed
to feel, the music Of the Metropolitan chimes.
1t is very seldom that the streets Of Washington
presented q more animated appearance than they
did on this occasion. The sidewalks Of Pennsyl-
Yania avenue were crowded with men, women
and children, all anxious to catch glimpse Of
the first reigning King ever on our shores. Every
window seemed to be filled with anxious specta-
tors, and the house tops were covered with peO-
pie. The appearance of the street could only re-
mind one familiar with such scenes of an inaugu.
ration day. At Il o'clock, the
ROYAL PARTY
reached the Arlington, and while alIghting from
their carriages and entering the hotel, received
by Mr.. Roessle, the marines, again in line, pre-
scented arms, and the band played the national
anthem Of the Sandwich Islands, published in
THE REPUBLICAN, Of Saturday, The King was
Immediately shown to his apartments, consisting
Of the throne room, the royal dining room, the
secretary's office and the royal bed chamber.
These rooms have been heretofore described.
The King is not we'll, being q severe sufferer
from q cold contracted at Omaha, en- route to this
city. He was attended during the afternoon only
by his physician, DIR. Turner, Of the navy, and
one or two Of his suite.

turkey, pheasant barde fold, game pate, spiced
oysters, roast beef chicken salade, and haut

was served. Royalty is q human institution,
after all, and made out to be content with the fol-
lowing:
Oysters on shell.
SoIp-Mock Turtle.
Head and shoulders Of Cod, sauce Hollandaise.
Pommes de terre, la Duchesse.
Tenderloin of beef with mushrooms.

While all these good things loaded the Kings
table during the day he eat really nothing but
oysters. Oysters is the King's weakness. If you
want to win his everlasting good will treat him
to oysters. He likes them in any shape, but the
raw ones seem to tickle his palate the most. He
never knew what oysters were till he came to
Washington. He's half crazy at the very thought
of dozen on the half shell, and piece Of lemon.
Well, they constitute q royal. dish, and kings
always did like them.
THE KINs's HEALTH
is still very Door. He was suffering very much
from his throat last night, and on that account
no definite arrangements have been made for his
movements to-day. Yesterday afternoon he left
the throne-room for few minutes and went to
his private parlor, but he had not been there
more than i've minutes when he began to cough
and had to return.
DR.. Turner, of the navy, his attending physi-
clan, made a thorough examination Of his lungs,
but found them to be perfectly strong. He is suf-
fering with severe cold and aggravated sore
throat. During the day Secretary Fish called at
the hotel to see the King, but did not do So owing
to the sickness Of His Majesty He communi-
Gated q message from the President, through one
of his suite, to the effect that the President re-
GREETED exceedingly to hear OF the Kings indis-
position, and that, although the President was
suffering himself from severe cold, he would have
called upon the King II His Majesty had been in
q condition to receive visitors. The Secretary
also requested q message to be communicated to
the King expressive Of his own sympathy, and q
hope that he would soon recover his accustomed
health. DR.. Turner stated that the royal visitor
might be well enough to be presented to the
President to-day, but did not think It advisable
that he should undergo any further fatigue.
The time for the arrangement Of the programme
for the entertainment Of His Majesty will depend
upon the state Of his health. It is the intention
Of the President and Mrs. Grant to give him
GRAND RECEPTION
at the White House one evening this week, for
which cards will be issued to slarge number Of
prominent persons. The King will spend about
ten days In Washington, but has not yet deter
mined what cities he will visit amer leaving here.
MOVEMENTS OF TIE SUITE.
Yesterday forenoon Governor KApena, Minis
Johns church. Mr.. Secretary Fish stepped over
to Governor Kapena's seat and shook hands with
him. 1t created quite sensation In the church,
for Governor Kapena was mistaken for the King.
