Mr.. Hartman dwelt particularly upon
tie fact that the movement was not one Of
any political party. 1t was purely nom
partisan. There could, be no political
party where that principle obtained, be-
cause the people would be voting for ideas
and not for party.
An amendment to demonstration on the
lines proposed had been submitted to the
last Legislature. but had been defeated,
although thirty-ene members voted for ii.
Considerable discussion followed. during
which several of the delegates argued in
favor of also adopting the principle of
proportional representation on the ground
that it could be obtained without a consti-
tntional amendment. but the majority W as
opposed to it.
As Secretary Porter had been unable to

DINNER AND PLAY.
Honors to the Chinese
Minister. !.
Gorgeously Attired Heathens Given a
Banquet and Then Escorted
to the Theater.

Yang Yu, the new Chinese Minister to
this country, was entertained at dinner
lass night at the Hang Fer Low restau-
rant on Dupont street by Ii Yung Yen,
the Consul-General In this city. The din
ner was swell affair of the truest Oriental
type. and among those present were sew
eral of the dignitaries of the Chinese quar-
ter of San Francisco
King Owyang, the Vice. Consul, with his
black robes and impenetrable face, was
conspicuous among the guests, and the In
locations are that he has already made a
favorable impression upon the new repre-
sentative of the home Government. In
addition the heads of the Six Companies
were resplendent in the robes of blue and
yellow. and tie banquet hall of the great
restaurant was bright with light and color.
The menu was choice and elaborate and
the wines were of the rarest vintages. OF
the latter champ agne was the favorite
beverage.
The hour set for dinner was 5 o'clock.
and before the arrival of the distinguished
guests the street in front of the restaurant
was crowded with dense mass of curious
heathens. and when the carriages began TO
arrive it was found almost Impossible to
force a passageway without the aid of the
police. As il was. however, the Minister
and his suite were finally escorted to the
dining-room and formally welcomed.
So far as the arrangement of the ban
quet-room was concerned. there had been
no attempt made at decoration. The only
indication of the nature of the occasion
and the rank of the guests was shown in
the display of the imperial banner and its
yellow dragon.
After dinner, at which nearly three
hours were consumed, the entire party
were driven to the Washington-street
Theater, where sDecial performance had
been billed for the occasion. The star
actors of the city had been gathered to-
gether to do honor to the evening. and it
was late when the party were escorted
back 10 their rooms at The Palace Hotel.

taking steps toward organizing the league.
The principle underlying the league was.

erendum into State politics. The initia-
tive gives the people the right to initiate a
law by direct vote in the petition to the
Governor of certain percentage of the
voters, while the referendum, If optional,

same manner as in the case of the initia-
tive to demand that vote shall be taken

The hydrophone invented by Captain

ment in order to determine its value in
defending the English harbors from being
suddenly entered by hostile cruisers or tor

a fleet or battery OF the approach under
cover of darkness or fog of hostile vessel,
or to warn vessels eff dangerous points of
the coast. 1t consists of two parts; an
apparatus: 10 be submerged at distance
of say three miles from the shore. and
connected by an insulated electric con-
dactor to an indicator on land, or on the
home fleet The former part comprises a
fat spring fixed at one end and fres atthe
other. Upon the free end rests a short
piece of roughened platinum wire, guided
in an easy-fitting hole. The spring is
exceedingly sensitive to vibration, and
responds to the slightest disturbance,
although it's movements are OFTEN so slight
as to he invisible. If, however, an electric
current is passed through ii, and through
