The Kings Movements.
King Kalaksua has returned from
his trip to the south where he had a
very enjoyable time, and was treated
with great distinction by the people
of Los Angeles, San Diego and other
cities. In the City of Angels his Ma
iesty attended the opera and saw
Miss Emma Juch in Carmen" At
the close of the performance the
King rose in his box and presented
the beautiful young prima donna
with handsome bouquet in the CEN
ter of which nestled a diamond
brooch of elegant design. On the
following evening the King held a
public reception which was a social
success, and later attended a banquet
of the California Club specially pre-
pared in his honor.
His Majesty returned during this
week to San Francisco and expressed
himself as highly pleased with his
reception in the south. In speaking
of the possibilities of San Diego and
Los Angeles, his Majesty said:

OF enterprise displayed by the people
there. l predict a great future for both
places, particularly San Diego. l felt
an especial interest in looking at its mag
nifcent harbor, as l believe San Diego

reason he Will be Obliged to give up
all thoughts of attending the inaugural
