Tomorrow Who Are in
the Party.

yesterday afternoon, at ten minutes
after /, q special train Of five directors'
cars and baggage car drew up at the
San Fernando-street depot. 1t contained
the Senatorial party who have been ex-
pected to visit the city and the San Pedro
harbor this week. On this occasion.
however, the train merely passed through
the city on it's way to San Diego and the
southern part Of the State.
A stop was made of about five minutes.
A number of representative men of this
city and vicinity were on hand to greet
the members Of the party, but as they
were at lunch and the stay was so short,
there was nothing like a formal recep-
ton. Among those who were present
were Governor Waterman, Representa-
tive Vandever, several of the directors of
the Chamber OF Commerce, and promi-
nent officials of the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe lines. Be-
fore the train left, Senator Stanford
explained that the change in the orig
inal programme was due to the rains
and the various accidents with which the
party had met, and that a visit to this
city would be paid later in the week.
According to the present plan, the
party will return to Los Angeles this
afternoon at about 5 O'Clock. Mr.. Fritz
Morris, manager OF the Little Lord Faurst-
leroy company, has sent an invitation to
Senator Stanford and party-by which
is meant the whole Senatorial party-to
attend the performance this evening.
A telegram accepting this invitation was
f~ov, l.
and four boxes will be given up to the
decorated with flags, and the Senators
are expected to attend in body.
Saturday morning the Senat tors will go
to San Pedro with q committee from the
Chamber of Commerce, and after in
srecting the harbor they will return to
the city about noon. In the afternoon
they will be taken for q drive about the
city, and will be shown the site of the
Federal building and the partly finished
structure. In the evening they will 60
to Santa Monica, to visit the home of
Senator Jones. Sunday will be spent
there, and either that night or early
Monday morning they will start for San
Francisco.
