When the usual Sunday exodus for the
rural districts began yesterday morning it
was delightful, typical California day,
but when the pleasure-laden excuTsionists
returned in the afternoon and evening an
ugly northeaster was making things gener-
ally unpleasant in the city.
Half dollar the round trip-now, mind
you," was the persuasive cry of number
of enterprising boatmen. who did lucra-
tive business by carrying sightseers to the
Austrian and French men-of-war, both Of
which were open to visitors.
The British corvette Nymphe, which ar
rived here On Saturday from the Mexican
coast. was also visited by number of
people.
was busy all day loading the steamer Aus
tralia. which will sail for Honolulu to-
morrow.
THE YELLOW FLAG FLYING.
The City of Peking, one of the Pacific Mail
COmpany's steamers, arrived in the after
noon with passengers and merchandise from
Hong Kong via Yokohama. Quarantine
officers boarded her as she crossed the bar,
and finding that among the Chinese passen-
gers there was a case OF yarioloid, Dr..
Lawlor ordered the yellow flag raised, and
put the vessel in quarantine. The steamship
company's tugbOat Miilen Griffith brought
the mail ashore. 1t is probable that the 81
cabin passengers will be landed to-day.
The 615 Chinese and LOG Japanese steer
age passengers will be sent to the Angel
Island quarantine station. This is an eX-
traordinary large consignment of OrIentals
for one steamer. AS the Storage was I'M
usually crowded, it is thought that extra
precautions will have to be taken to pre-
vent the spreading of the disease.

of merchandise and IS packages of mail.

The only incident which broke the monot-
Ony of quiet Sunday afternoon occurred
when United States Customs Inspector
Berry, who had charge of the Belgic's gang
plank, interfered with some ladies who at
tempted to land from the steamer, pretend
ing that it vas against the regulations.
Berry, who Is quite Wag, was deaf TO all
the entreaties Of the fair visitors and abso-
lutely refused to allow them to leave the
ship until Inspector Whearty, who was on
