laden with flowers. About five
hundred knights and invited guests
were present The dinner was set for
eight o'clock. but it was half past nine
before the guests took their seats. and

through. The frat regular toast was to
the Grand Encampment of the United
States. Responded to by Grand Master
Dean, who took advantage of the occa-
sion to testify to the hospitality extended
by the Knights OF the Pacific Coast
to their Eastern companions. Other
toasts followed, of Masonic character,
and were responded to by the Grand
officers of this coast and of Eastern
Communicates.
Meeting OF the Democratic state
Committee.
SAN Francisco, August 22.-The
Democratic State Central Committee
met at the rooms of the State Club on
Commercial street this afternoon, for the
purpose of considering the report of the
special committee appointed to ascertain
whether the Railroad Commissioners
have carried out their pledges taken
at San Jose in June, last year,
to make material reduction in railroad
freights aud fares. Many distinguished
members of the party were present from
all parts of the State. After the discus.
sion of minor points, the committee re-
ported that they had looked into the
new schedule adopted by the commits
sion and found that it made about $500
different reductions, which were nearly
all material" Instances of re uctions
were given. The committee concluded
by saying that the Railroad Commissioners
were performing their duties in salts
factory manner and had ( filled their
pledges so far as they had gone. Mr..
English stated, during the discussion,
that he had retired from the committee,
being satisfied that the committee were
working for the railroads interest.
Commissioner Foote charged the investi-
eating committee with being in collision
with Commissioners Humphreys and
Carpenter. lie stated that they had
entirely overlooked the fares aud
freights schedules prepared by him and
asked him to retire from the meeting, in
order that they might perfect their
plans with Humphreys and Carpenter in
the interest of the railroad. This state
ment acted like bomb, and Foote was
choked off from further speech by the
railroad faction present. The meeting
adjourned in the greatest confusion
until 10 A. NJ. tomorrow.
