BONDS MATURED.

Bonds of the city, of the class known as
"Southside Railroad Bonds" to the
amount of 1927 ,60O bearing interest at the
rate of per cent, matured to-day. The
Common Council nearly year ago made
provisions to meet these bonds by the
issue of new 5 per cent. bonds. which
might be exchanged for those about to
mature, or sold and the old ones retired
with the proceeds. Notwithstanding the
difference in the rate of interest S23l 500
of the per cent. bonds were exchanged
for the 5 per cents long before the ma
turity of the former. Only s57 900 of the
new bonds were sold, and the remaining
80, 500 were purchased by the sinking fund.
about these new bonds. and many applica-
lions for some of them, but only the above
amount was sold.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 4.-The United States
steamship Charleston, with King Kalskaus, of
Hawaii. on board, entered the harbor at IL
O'Clock this morning The Swatara met the
Charleston near the Heads and saiuted her, as
did the fort, afterward accompanying the
Charleston TO her moorings. The officers OF the
Charleston reported good trip from Honolulu
until Tuesday, when the gale which has ragged
along the coast was encountered.
Colonel McFar ane chamberlain to King
Kalakaua, sta ed that tn king visited California
for the benefit OF his health and eyesight, which
was somewhat impaired. The king would
probably emain n California five or six weeks,
and during that period would visit the southern
part of the state. but not go Feast. The king is
accompanied only by Colonel McFarlane and q
few servants.
King Kaakaua left the Charleston in the adj
mirals barge late this afternoon, and few
moments later arrived at the Clay street wharf.
The Charleston and the Swatara again fired the
royal salute as the king left the ship Upon
arriving at the wharf he was received by Gen.
eral Gibbon, commanding the division of the
Pacific, and Consnl.General Mckinley, of
Hawaii, and battalion OF United States cavalry
was drawn up in line facing the wharf. Great
crowds OF people surrounded the landing place,
and as the king left the barge he bowed right
and left in acknowledgment of the cheers given
by the spectators.
King Kalakaua Immediately entered a carri-
age drawn by four horses, and was driven TO the
Palace hotel, where reception was given him,
which attended by Governor Waterman,
