OFF FOR THE THEATER.
From there the party visited the Yeong W0
AssoaiatiOn's J0sshOuse at 730 Sacramento
street, and admired the gods and the rich carv-
tngs until lt was time to depart for the Washing
on-street Theater, where special play was TO
be enacted for the entertainment of the guests
The play was love story, entitled "LO QuOk

unusually gorgeous. and the musicians We'd with

the guests. The play was endured boldly for at
least twenty minutes, when Secretary Rusk was
compelled 10 succumb. When they again en-
tered the carriage he asked TO be returned forth
with to the Palace Hotel, and his desires were
complied with, although half the programme had
not been finished.
APOLOGIES FOR THE GUESTS.
A splendid banquet was in waiting at the Bun
Sun Low Restaurant, and the Consu-General
had gone ahead TO meet the party. Cox and
GienRon were compelled to go to the restaurant
and explain the Illness OF Mr.. Rusk and make
aUple apologies for the absence Of the h0nored
guests. Similar Preparations had been made at
the Woey Sin Low Restaurant on Dupont street,
near Clay. Two hundred Chinese children had
been trained TO give special drill during the
banquet, aud the little ones were very much put
out about The failure OF The programme.
Generally Mr.. Rusk was taken fE the Presi-
dent In consequence OF his gray hairs. Ii was
intended TO have the visit strictly secret, but the
plan miscarried and the crowd WIS entirely too
dense TO admit of comfort 10 any one. This Will
probably be the last effort OF any of the Presi-
dents party TO see the Chinese quarter.

HEARTILY WELCOMED.
President Harrison in Berkeley
and in Oakland.
He Was Treated to Rousing Salute of Cannon,
Was Pelted With Thousands of Bouquets
and Escaped With Two Speeches.

President Harrison and his party carried out
Yesterdays programme by visiting the State
University at Berkeley. They arrived from Sac
ramento by special train AT the station at 12;45
o'clock In the afternoon. In honor OF the occa.
sion many of tile public buildings and private
dwellings were handsomely decor ated, while the
dwellers In neighbofing settlements assembled
some time before the arrival OF the distinguished
guests prepared to give them right hearty
welcome.
Owing TO the pressure Of his engagements dur
ing the day, the visit TO the university was made
as brief as possible but while he and his friends
were there the outsiders made as much OF the
occasion as possible, and the national salute was
kept up long after the President had finished his
response to the address OF welcome, and was on
the point Of leaving the classic shades Of the
university.
The library buildin was appropriated by the
faculty, the Regents and several OF the alumni
OF the Institution. Over the center OF the portieo
on the west front OF the building, canopy of
American flags was draped. 1t was expected
that the President would stand here In making
his address, but the military battalion of the
university was drawn up IN the open space at
present arms. AT the south end OF this enclosure
were the students OF Mills Seminary, while on
the east were the lady students OF the university

Two Hundred women Killed.

A letter from Zanzibar says that over
year ago caravan of 800 Arabs left
the East Coast to 40 into the interior to
t-ade.. They have LOW returned, and
one OF the chiefs relates their advent.
ures. Arriving at Kaviiondo, on the
northeast shores of Victoria Nyanza
the Arabs saw that the natives had q
good deal Of ivory ard that they had no
guns. They attacked the tribe, and
before the shooting had gone on long
the natives were willing TO do anything
to make Eeacc.
After long palaver with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed to leave the country
UPON the payment to them of two hun.
bred tusks Of ivory and two hundred
young women The natives were glad
to get rid of the enemy even on these
hard conditions. As soon as they re.
ceived the ivory and the women the
Arabs started for The coast. They had
terrible time in the Masei country.
There was drought, and they almost
persisted of thirst Then provisions
became scarcer and scarcer, and the
whole party was in danger Of starya-
ton. Finally the Arab chiefs decided
that, in order 70 save themselves and
their ivory, it would be necessary to
sacrifice their female slaves, who were
very weak from their depriyations and
could march no further.
That night all Of these two hundred
young women were shot to death and
their bodies were left in the camp for
beasts of prey. The victims happily
had not moments warning Of their
impending fate. Each murderer Sc
lected his intended victim, and the
horrible crime was accomplished SO
speedily that few Of the women made
any cutlery. With their force thus
summarily reduced the Arabs were
able to pull through the desert re-
gion, obtaining little more food than
barely enough to sustain life.
The chief who related these facts
in Zanzibar showed no computations
whatever for the terrible crime in
which he had assisted, but mentioned
the massacre only TO give an idea of
the great loss they had sustained by
the necessary sacrifice Of the two hun
dred slaves. II is curious fact that
some of the murderers we're troubled

compelled them to eat rats and other
unefean food, which is prohibited TO

covert coat. The material represented
is q covert overcoating. The length
for man of average height, five feet
eight inches, is thirty-four inches. The
back is cut whole. with nearly straight
side-seams that are finished with vents,
and the form, though its shape is sug-
gested, is fitted loosely. The collar
and lapels are light. the roll averages
four and half inches in length, and
the edges are double-stitched moderate
ly wide. The pockets have flaps to so
in or out, and the sleeves, which are
cut half and half, are finished with
three rows of stitching around the bot
tom. The seams are Tapped and stitch
ed to match the edges.
In the next cut Is exhibited one OF
those new one-button cutaway suits,
which are designed especially for per-
sons of rather corpulent build. The
material is wide wool worsted and a
striped trousering. The roll of the
coat IS about six inches deep.
The fronts are cut away from the
closing button with gentle curve, and
are well rounded from midway of skirt
to the bottom The edges are bound,
or flat-braided narrow, and the sleeves
are finished with imitation cuffs, closed
with two buttons.
The vest extends about one and a
half inches below the waist seam Of the
coat, closes with five buttons, and has

average height, feet inches.
The covert overcoat, made Of covert
overcoming, modified for street wear,
will be quite popular with many who
have no very profound regard for the
eternal fitness of things.
For day and halfdres the double
breasted frock is the most appropriate,
as it is the most elegant style of coat
made. For day dress it will have
rllapels 81 ample width, well peaked,
and silk-faced to the button-holes, Of
which there will be five on each side.
It will roll when closed to the third
hole, but when rnbuttoned will roll
free. The lengths for man Of aver
age height viii be eighteen and one
half inches TO the hip buttons and
thirty-six inches to the bottom OF
skirts. It will be made of worsteds and
cheyiots
The three-button cutaway frock will
be, as for. several seasons, more popu-
lar than the four, two, or one buttoner.
The lengths viii average eighteen and
one-half and thirty-three inches, the
roll Will Be moderately long, and the
fronts viii be cut away so as to show
one button of The vest. The four-but-
