The dust of travel was removed and
then choice lunch was served. There
was consomme in cups, nroiIed Tahoe
trout, fillet OF beef with truffles. scrambled
eggs, broiled chicken. pommes soufflees
and strawberries and cream-nothing
heavy. just an artistic creation that the
Vice-President pronounced a masterpiece
In its way.
Afterward there was ostensibly resting
until dinner. But the Vice-President had
many callers and denied himself to none.
Then he paid one specially interesting
visit himself. This was to the chief State
executive. Governor 81. Il. Markham, at
the Palace Hotel, where he has been fgur-
ing on Senators and things. There was
ne.hing very rigidly political talked about
between the great officials, however. The
m Getting was in the first place, OF course,
purely one of ceremony and courtesy and
Governor Markham was very warm in his
expressions of welcome on behalf of the
State. On the other hand. the Vice-Presi-
dent did not hesitate to give voice to his
enthusiastic appreciation OF his reception.
When the Vice President and Governor
Markham were deciding the question of
making official visits to one another yes.
terday. a serious difficulty arose. Whether
the Governor. as the chief executive of the
State, should call first upon the Vice.
President, or vice versa. was a mooted
proposition. The matter was thoroughly
discussed at the Palace Hotel by Governor
Markham and the officers of his staff,
while William d. English and Max Pepper
discussed the question seriously with the
Vice. Pres ident at the Baldwin Hotel.

the Baldwin Hotel at half-past 3 O'clock in
a closed coupe. They we're driven rapidly
to the Palace Hotel, where they were met
by Colonel Chadbourne of the Governors
staff. who conducted them to Governor
Markham's apartments on the third fool.
Then followed the formalities of official
introdu ctione. and in half an hour, after
plea SAINT conversation. the Vice. President
returned to his apartments at the Baldwin.
At half-past o'clock Governor Mark
ham descended in the Palace elevator,
accompanied by his full staff in uniform.
Taking carriages. they were driven to the
Baldwin. The Governors aid-de-camp in
the full uniform of the National Guard of
California occupied seat ON the box Of
the Governors carriage. Arriving at the
Baldwin the party we're conducted to the
rooms of the Vice-President, where sec
ond official Introduction took place. At
the end Of half an hour the Governor and
staff return eR to the Palace Hotel. Thus
the Senator cdled upon the Governor and
the Governor called upon the Senator.
After these official and friendly labors
came the reward and the following neat

Mrs. Stevenson, yesterday afternoon to a

Mrs. Stevenson was in her apartments
at the Baldwin Hotel, which were so filled
with fragrant flowers that they looked like
bowers. She was simply dressed in a tailor
made gown which fitted her weli-rounded
figure to perfection. In manner the wife
OF the Vice President is gracious and un-
affected, and her sweet intelligent face
lighted up with enthusiasm, as she spoke

Oh, yes! l should like to mention the
qualification that this has given me-par-
haps more pleasure than anything else."
Mrs. Stevenson showed the reporter a
large floral design that adorned one corner
of the gayly decorated room. 1t consisted
of large shield Of cOrnflowers standing
on an easel covered with La France roses.

Revolution. and the San Francisco branch

THE BAY GREETING.

It may be "chalked down and made a
note Of" as Cap'en Cuttle might say, that
whenever San Francisco wishes to do
especial honor to any visitor she ought to
arrange tugboat reception. She has all
the material at hand for carrying it out on
the most magnificent scale possible. and
as it can be done by hardly any other city
in the world.
The bay greeting rendered to Vice
President Stevenson yesterday showed
what might be accomplished in that way
and recalled other receptions of the same
character and even On more elaborate
scale.
The idea in its completeness is simply to
dress every big vessel in the harbor with
gay colors, load all the guns, line all the
wharyes with expectant people, charter all
the tugs and available steam launches and
then set these bedecked craft, Ioaoed with
welcomers. out under some general plan of
marshalment to meet the incoming hero or
heroine. Let everything be timed to
clockwork, and then as the leading tug
draws up alongside the floating vessel of
Caesar and his for unes" let the sun shine
down upon tug after tug and launch after
launch circling round and round the object
of their honoring. let the welkin boom
with the doube-shotted salyos and be
rent with the acclaim Of multitudes. That
would make an impression on eye and ear
worthy of special occasion.
Most of the ideal factors were present at
Mr. Stevenson's welcoming. The clock
work part and the solar role might have
been more perfect. but on the whole it was
very pretty water reception.
Some malicious enemy of sleep had put
abroad the rumor that it would be neces-
sary to be present at Washington-stree
wharf at A. NJ. in order to go on board
the welcoming tugs in time. So the people
arose early, breakfasted and rushed down
to the wharf They were there at s, but
the tugs were not, and for one and a half
hours there was chance to anticipate
things and look out for the tugs.

The Vice-President expressed himself
delighted with the appearance and singu-

He was kept hat in hand most OF the time
after passing Fort Point, cautiously re-
turning sautes, and it is to be hoped that

Here the Mayor bowed and the Vice

in cordially accepting the same"

fastened to explain. He said that while
it might have been as well to have a cruiser
there to defend the Vice. President from
his Democratic friends. still on the whole
we were peaceable people and preferred
to send peace boats to meet him. We had
also paid him special compliment in the
breeze then blowing. as it was particular
mark of honor to raise the wind' for a
friend. He trusted that the Vice -Presi-
dent and party would stay in California as
long as possible.
Meanwhile the Corona was nearing her
destination. and was passing along the
wharves laden with sightseers. Telegraph

Messengers were sent from the Palace to

Finally some wiser bead than all the
others among the aggregation Of both
Democratic and Republican statesmen
solved the very difficult problem. 1t is
SAID that William D. English studied out
the perplexing question and decided it.
The matter was laid before the Governor
and then before the Vice-Presdent. and
soon all was arranged.

Sherman made to Gibraltar during

Gen. BisSet was Governor of that

Gen. Sherman Il brace of English
pheasants every winter, timing the
departure of the game so that it
should arrive in New York in season
for old TecumSeh's Christmas dinner.
The last present of the kind reached

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany propose to weed ont its union
employees before the Worlds Fair
business opens up. AS a starter they
have requested freight handlers to
choose between their union and the
company, and have discharged those
who have declared their intention of
remaining loyal to the union. 1t is
claimed that this move will be imi-
tatcd by nearly all of the railroads in
this country. BY thus precipitating
fight with the employees, the rail-
road companies have taken upon
themselvs the responsibility for any
trouble which may arise this spring.
If union men don't take up the fight
and wage war upon these companies
in the most energetic way at their
command, they will be toolishly
throwing away good opportunity to
win. They should get together and
