Departure of the Senatorial Com.
mittee.
The members of the Senatorial Com
mittee returned from Santa Monica soon
after 9 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
at once started out sightseeing again,
their objective point being Pasadena.
With the exception of Senator Hale, who
was recommended by his medical at
tendant, DIR. Ainsworth, to keep quiet,
the entire party, including the ladies and
the clerical staff, went to the Santa Fe
depot, and there boarded the special
which was waiting for them. A com.
mittee from this city, consisting of Major
E. W. Jones, Hervey Lindley, S. B. Lewis,
VIM. Niles, Ex-Governor Stoneman and
wife, and II. u. Osborne was present by
request, and pointed out the objects Of
| interest as the visitors were wheeled into
| the foothills. A halt was called at Ray.
mond, where large body Of citizens was
in attendance to greet the arrivals,
amongst those present being Colonel H.
Fl. Markham, P. M. Green, HI. w. Magee,
Judge Pitcher, z. w. U. Masters, and
the members OF the Board of Trade. The
ladies were then consigned to carriages
and taken for drive, while the Senators
went to the terminus of the Altadena road,
where q most beautiful view of Pasadena
and the San Gabriel valley was obtained
from Mr.. Green's new residence. A re-
turn was then made into town, and at
the depot carriages were in waiting, and
took the legislators about the city
Several OF the leading residences were
visited, but the drive was necessarily a
short one, as there was not much time to
spare, the Senators being desirous of
getting back to Los Angeles by noon.
When they returned to the train they
were astonished to find that their cars
had been invaded by most welcome
visitors, for an abundance of fruit and flow
ers was laden ON to the tables and seats.
The Wolfskill depot was reached soon
after noon, and a few minutes before
O'Clock Senator Hale arrived on the
scene, looking much relieved after his
rest and able medical treatment. At
l :05 the dis tinguished party started again
for the north, running as special thirty
minutes ahead Of the regular train.
WHY SAN DIEGO WAS MISSED.
For the benefit of the residents of San
Diego, who may be thinking that de-
liberate attempt was made on the part Of
Los Angeles to ignore their claims, it is
we'll to note that the members of the
Board of Trade and the Cham Der of Com
merce, Of this city, did all in their power
to induce the Senators to make the trip to
the southern city, added to which was an
offer by the Santa Fe officials to
supply quick railroad transportation.
The invitations were, however, declined,
the reasons being given by Senator Hoar
as follows:
"Our trip to the Pacific Coast being q
strictly business one, we have very little
time to spare. Our original intention
was to come out over the Northern Pa
cifc and return via the Canadian Pacific
but we we're induced to change our plans
so as to visit San Francisco. Then came
the pressing invitation from Los Angeles
which we accepted, although it meant 8
loss of three days to our schedule. Much
as we would like to look over all of this
beautiful southern country, we are COM
pelled, therefore, to decline any Other
invitations.''
