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
jesty 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 GEN.
ter of which nestled a diamond
brooch of elegant design. On the
following evening the King held
public reception which was 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:
81 was much impressed with the spirit
of enterprise displayed by the people
there. predict great future for both
places, particularly San Diego. l felt
an especial interest in looking at its mag
nitieent harbor, as l believe San Diego
people contemplate establishing steam
communication with the islands. feel
that ought to recommend 10 our Legis-
lature the propriety or wisdom OF estab-
fishing trade relations with San Diego and
Los Angeles. In driving to Ellwood, Mr.. |
Cooper's olive ranch, which is situated |
fourteen miles from Santa Barbara, / |
caught Il bad cold, which developed into |
bilious fever and in consequence had |
to iorego many pleasant excursions tend |
cred TO me-
Chamberlain Macfarlane said, in |
speaking OF the Kings condition.. ellis
Majesty is still very weak, and by his |
physicians advice will cancel all engage
ments until he is well again. For this |
reason he viii be obliged to give up
all thoughts OF attending the inaugural |
ball and the visit to Mrs. E. B. Croker,
who had kindly rendered him the use of
her home. The Kings physician has
ordered absolute quiet and rest, and he
cannot on any condition see callers"

Kings party On his trip were: Ad-
miral Brown, Lieutenant Blow of
the Admiral's staff, ex-senator Whit
ney, DR.. MeNulty, the Kings Cham
berlain, Colonel Macfarlane and the
Kings aid-de-camp, Colonel Baker.
There appears to be no foundation
for the rumors that the King will go
to Washington. Those who are au-
thorized TO speak for him say that
he has no such intention. 1t is an

Charleston has been ordered to Mare
Island to have ner bottom scraped
preparatory for a trip to Honolulu,
and 1t is stated by Hawaiian Consul

ready to sail on Jan. 10Th, at which

errors Inaugural Ball at Sacramento
On account OF indisposition.
