The morning call., 1893-07-20
AT THE PAVILION.

So eager was the crowd to enter the
Pavilion that one of The iron doors was
broken down in the rush. The detach-
ment of police did not have much trouble
to keep the fast-gatherine throng on Lar
kin street within bounds for an hour, but
when the gathering hoofs, ruh-a-dub of
drums and strains of music that grew loud
and more loud announced that the pro-
cesson was at hand the people surged
forward. Two columns of stout-armed
men in blue, brass buttoned uniforms
stood across the sidewalk at the main en-
trance to the Pavilion to keep that ap-
proach unimpeded. The impetus of the
poDuiace was victoriously resisted by
them, though they had to rush sundry per-
sons out of the way without courtesy to
keep the lane to the doorway clear.
Mrs. Stevenson, Miss Stevenson and n
few other ladies. with William A lvord and
several other gentlemen as escorts, pre-
ceeded the parade 10 the Pavilion, and
from the stand that had been erected at
the further end OF the big building they
beheld the entrance and maneuvers Of the

the gentlemen with him remained outside
in their carriages. The size of the crowd
was immense, and effort was needed 10
make pathway for the Vice President to
the side entrance on Larkn street. After
lie entered the throng rolled together again
like the Red Sea alter Moses had passed
through the waters. and refused to divide
for the lesser dignitaries in the other car
rlages.
The mass of men around the carriages
was so dense that it was feared by some of
the occupants that the c0nveyances would
be wrecked. The drivers managed to
extrcate them from the biliOwy human
ocean, and the gentlemen who followed
the Weep resident were taken to the
Grove.streer entrance.
The alignment of the soldiers on the
Pavilion floor by Brigad er-General Dickin-
son was excellent and the beauty Of his
arrangements drew forth much commen-
dation. The First, Second and Third
regiments, the Naval Reserve and the
Signal Corps were drawn up in double
line, stretching from the main entrance on
Larkin street to the Grove street doorway.
which served as an exit.
The people passed between the rows of
troops. and moved on to the other portal.
passing on the way the stand on which
stood Vice-Presdent Stevenson. 1t took
some time to get the troops in an impreg-
nable and at the same time handsome
position, and when this was done the
crowd had TO move on through the CON-
paratvely narrow passageway that was
made. Nobody could get outside OF either
military line.
The Vice-President walked up this aisle
at tho right Of Mayor Ebert. his arm In

Garfield Of San Beni.o County. He is 76
years old and has voted the Democratic
ticket since he was young man.
The crowd came in Immediately, and
Mr.. Stevenson did OF have chance to
sit down for moment. The advance
guard of the callers seemed at loss what
to do, and looked quite nervous. but as the
throng came on shoulder to shoulder with
no space between any two persons the
sense of identity and of being gazed at by
the people on the platform was lost, and
the popular nervousness vanished.
AS to the nervousness of the Vice-Presi-
dent he exhibited none. He seemed at
loss tor minute what to do, apparently
not Knowing whether the arrangement
was that he should have his hand shaken
oy each conner. or should be simply stared
at. tie glanced at Mayor Elert for sug-
eest'on, but the Mayor did not notice the
vice-Presldents indecson. So the Vice
fresident thought that the best thing he
could DO under the circumstances would be

OF the ontpouring in his honor.
This he did with tact and modestv and
the men as they passed took off their hats
and waved them little. Tney had not

delay II 1t became general. Half a dozen
OF them consequently formed a group on
the floor in front Of the Vice President
and the crowd had to be contented with a
look.

fern in his coat lapel. with badness that
began many years ago, apparently, and n

pleasant, but be was not as Impressive
looking as some of the less notable men
around him.
Men of all ranks and women OF all ages
were in the crowd. High silk hats as well
AS cheap and soiled headgear were doffed
by passing citizens. The onward move
ment of the throng lasted for over an hour.
Then the military formed for review,
and their movements were watched with
interest and pride by every San Franciscan
and with pleasure by the visitors. AS
they passed the reviewing stand each
regiment dipped its colors. The stirring
music and the tramp Of The soldiers made
every pulse beat stronger

The Slippery Rogue SkillfulIy Eluded

VICTORIA. B. c., July 10-It is believed
that Rev. MIR. Reams. who escaped from
custody on n technicaiity of law yesterday,
is now in New Westminster. having sto wed
away on the steamer Rithet despite the
vigilance of the local police and of Sheriff
Warfield, who is more than ever deter
mined to have his man.
The present warrant charges abduction
for :he purpose Of prostitution. and Law
yer Crease claims to have sufficient evil
dence, not only to secure his extradtinn
but to convict in California or in Canada
Reams evinces great terror Of standin 2
trial and will evade arrest as long as he
can. He has little money, the $40 which
he had when originally arrested remaining
in the hands of Warden John of the pro-
vincial jail. His boy Willie also remains
here, but cannot or will not give a clew Of
his fathers whereabouts.
A question is as to the whereabouts of
Reams. One story says that last night
Reams bought two loaves and two tins of
sa lmon and was seen wandering along the
water 'front.' Also that be was driven out
from the city disguised.
A warrant was issued last night for his
arrest. The charge is abducting Lucy
Rucker, under 1S years OF age, for the pur-
pose of prostitution. Adding the words
'for the purpose of prostitution" consti-
tutes material change between the old
and new warrants.
The city police have located his 14-year-
old boy at house of a person who did not
think he should suffer for the sins of his
father As to the whereabouts Of his
father the boy was ignorant. 1t is believed
Reams has somehow or other got over TO
the mainland.
