THE SIGNAL.

The City Startled from Its Spell Of sus-
pense-Bells Ringing. Whistles Scream
inE-Hurrying and Excited Crowds.
SAN FRANcIsCo, September 2O.-The
first tap ofthe bell and the hoisting OF
the flag on the Merchants Exchange,
announcing the approach OF the City OF
Toxic, startled the city from the spell Of
suspense that has prevailed for the last
three days and transformed the idle
throngs that were lounging about the
streets into excited and hurrying
crowds Bells are ringing, steam whis-
ties screaming and the thunder OF can
non reverberating over the hills and
harbor. Thousands of men, women
aad children, on foot, in carriages and
on horseback, are pouring out in the di-
rection of Preside Heights, Point Lo-
has, Telegraph Hill and every other
eminence in the vicinity, eager to catch
the first glimpse of the incoming ship
bearing the guest for whose reception so
great preparations have been made,
and whose arrival has been so
anxiously anticipated. Crowds are
hurrying towards the wharves where
the steamers and yachts that will take
part in the nautical pageant are lying.
The reception committees tug, Miller
Griffith, leaves at once from the Pacific
Mail dock to intercept the Toxic and so
arrange her arrival in the harbor to con-
form with the preparations Tor the re-
ceptiOn in accordance with a precOn-
certed plan. The reception is not likely
to take place, the hOur being so late and
the executive committee is now in
session to determine whether 1t shall
come off tomorrow or be delayed till
Monday.
At the moment the alarm giving
notice of the approach OF the City OF
Toxic was struck, the executive commit
tee having charge of the demonstration,
were in session at the Palace Hotel,
warmly discussing the question of carry
ing out the programme tomorrow in
case of the steamers arrival on time, or
deierring it till Monday. The first stroke
ended the discussion. 1t was three
quarters Of an hour later than the limit
that had been previously determined,
but it was at once resolved TO carry out
the demonstration Immediately. \ re-
ception committee OF five hastened TO the
mail dock and put out seaward without
delay toexpedite the movements OF the
Toxic, while the various other commit
tees and guests betook themselves to
their posts on ship-board or at the land
ing. In view OF the lateness OF the hour
all preconccrted limits Of time will be
contracted. A flotilla of steamers and
yachts will leave the city front at a quar-
ter past iOur, and it is expected that the
landing will be effected hali-past six or
seven. The line of march will then be
taken MP, and general Illumination
will compensate for the absence OF sun

Mayor Bryant appeared and announced
that as soon as the General had finished
his dinner he would show himself. In
few minutes Gen. Grant appeared
amid deafening and long continued
shouts. Mayor Bryant called the crowd
to order and the General mounting a
chair which was passed over the heads of
the surrounding crowd, was again greet
ed with a succession OF cheers, and
when the noise subdued he addressed
them as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS OF SAN FRANCISCO
After twenty-five years OF absence ] am
glad To meet you and assure you OF my
cordial thanks for the kind greeting you
have given me. shall stay in your
city long enough to greet you.
The General then withdrew amid
prolonged and tremendous cheering, and
the crowd at length reluctantly scat
tered.
