Tho Puyaliup Commisaion.

Senator Allen to-day renewed the op-
position to the provision of the bill
which singled out tho state OF Washing
ton rs unworthy to have man named
on the Puyallup commission. A largo
number of senators took up tho fight
with him, Senator Mitchell. OF Oregon,
being quite conspicuous. Senator Allen
made quite fiery speech. During the
hot portion of the controversy Senator
Squire was recognized, and made the
following pointed remarks. 81 do not
think there should be any difference of
opinion on the propriety of allowing the
president OF the United States to select
these commissioners from oil the people
of the country. without any discrimina-
tion against the citizens OF the state OF
Washington. That one point--whetber
the president shall be restricted In his
choice of missloners---is really all
there 10 to the question, and would re-
spectfully ask the chairman of the COM
mittee on Indian affairs TO withdraw
this unjust and invidious discrimination
against tho people of our state, and to
consider ths point that the president
IN the exercise OF his discretionary pow
or will take into account all the circum.
stances that should have weight in con-
ncction with these appointments"
That was Senator Squire's maiden
speech. and the one that settled the
controversy. The change was agreed to,
and the aspersion on tho fair namo oI
Washington was removed.

SARATOGA HALL.
How 1t Has Been Decorated for Stanford
Parlor.


Parlor.
Saratoga Hall, which has been decorated
most elegantly and very delicately by A.
F. Schleicher for Stanford Parlor, has re-
ceived more words of unsolicited praise than
any other of the many headquarters. OF
course it does not come up to the Pavilion
in the extent and magniicence of its beauty,
for the Pavilion received the finishing
touches of many hands, and its decorations
were shaped after widely diversified tastes.
Saratoga Hall, however, from being the
work of one parlor and under the guidance
of one director, is unsurpassed in its har-
mony in and delicacy of cOl0ripg. The stage
effect is grand. 1t is the scene OF mining
camp with three miners, cabin, pet bear
and mining chute as its prospect.
The gallery, which is supported by eight
rods suspended from the ceiling. is decor
ated on each side by the melloweSt red and
blue and white strip attached to each rod
and dropping TO point amid rods, where
they are caught in such manner as to de-
scribe double line OF beauty. At the
point of attachment with the gallery a
Roman shield hides the knot and adds TO
the general effect
From the chandelier in the center of the
hall half-dozen American pennants reach
out in as many directions to The corners and
sides of the hall, to be caught up by an
American shield. The decorations at the
end of the hall are on the same system as
those on the sides, but the colors are varied
from red, white and blue to a light green
and saffron. A beautiful picture of Minerva
graces the central portion of the gallery.
The refreshment-room is conservatory
OF flowers, which are banked up in the CEN
ter at each end and on the sides.
In the reception-roOm a special design OF
the electric town of San Jose is stationed.
This was meant as q compliment to Palo
Alto Parlor of San Jose, which is the guest
Of Stanford Parlor during the celebration.
Four other parlors are the guests of STAN
ford Parlor. They are: Napa Parlor of
Napa, Ukiah Parlor of Mend0cino, Sunset
of Sacramento and Stanford Parlor of Ma
tive Daughters of Benicia.

Delegations.
At the headquarters of the Native Daugh-
tiers all was hustle and confusion yesterday
from early morning until late in the after
noon. Mrs. Green, the indefatigable Secre-
tary, had hardly minute to spare in re-
ceiving visiting delegations from interior
parlors. The rooms are brightly decorated,
but the establishment Of flowers seemed in
significant compared to the beautiful array
OF lovely forms and faces that fitted to and
fro from the parlors all day.
The arrivals began early in the day, a reg
ister being opened to receive the names of
all who called. Before 3 o'clock many pages
of IL were coverep with the signatures of the
fair ones. Among the interior parlors Lake.

The visiting interior delegations will be

Among the prominent visitors at the Ma
tive Daughters headquarters during the day
were Mayor Pond. President Alexander
Montgomery of the Pioneers, and Past Pres
idents of the Native Sons A. +. Jones, John
III. Grady and e. A. Gar0utte.
The Native Daughters are making con-
siderable complaint about their tire atment
on the part of the various committees having
charge of the distribution of tickets for the
various entertainments of the celebration.
They are allowed but two tickets each, and
as they have taken such an active rart in
arranging for the tableaux on Monday night,
they do not believe that they are being
treated rightly. and ask that their services
be better recognized. Some of the members
of the committees have promised to do what
they can to give them more tickets. All of
the interior Native Daughters will receive
one ticket each.
The badges of the Joint Committee for the
Native Daughters were distributed at their
headquarters. 1t consists of a shrimp pink
diamond, with raised silver bear worked
upon it. The diamond is suspended from
pink pendant and bow.
Caliia Parlor, Native Daughters, of
Sacramento. will arrive to-day on special
train and will have their headquarters in
Saratoga Hall. Orinda Parlor of this city
will be the guests of Mission Parlor, Native
Sons, during the celebration.
Grand Treasurer Minnie Z. Coulter Of
Sacramento arrived yesterday and stated
that her parlor will be repreS anted by twen-
ty members.
Alta Parlor will give an entertainment and
reception Oh Monday and Tuesday after
moons at their booth in the Pavilion.
The grand officers of the Native Daughters
have declined the invitation of the General
Committee of Native Sons to parade in car
risges on account OF thelpublicity.

himself in improving the navigation of the
Sacramento River.

piled that he had recently met General
Chapman in Tchama County, and was salts

that nomination would De declined.
John 5. Enos then addressed the meeting.
He said he had already been rendered the
nomination and had refused il. He had
since been importuned by his friends to re-
consider his determination, and he wished
TO take advantage of the present time
to declare his honesty in declining the
honor. His integrity and principles had
been assailed by his enemies in the matter,
he said; but he was poor; therefore he was
obliged to peremptorily refuse the nomina-
ton He declared his unalienable affection
for the Republican party, and asserted that
there were no sore spots or flies on him."

The outlook in the south is reported to be

Reports from all over the State show that
the party is solidly united and enthusiastic
over the whole ticket. The presence of the
