The big double turret monitor Mon
terey arrived early this morning, cross
ing the bar at o'clock. A wire from
the cape was signal for the bell ir
No. 2's engine house to ring the sigma
agreed upon, then the people began tt
flock to the water front.
The docks were black with people
as the familiar lines of the Monterey

warehouse dock, and as she came t
anchor abreast of Hume's dock, thu
big hooded muzzles of Betsy ant
"Sister Alice" seemed to acknowledge
the greeting extended the visitor b!
the blowing of many whistles and thu
waving Of thousands Of hands on shore
Then the big siren returned the com

position with the incoming tide.
Groups of officers stood about on decl
and waved acknowledgement to the
many salutations from fair ones or
shore.
An Astorian representative Went
aboard the Monterey soon after her ar
rival and took along several copies of
the morning paper. The reporter was
shown into the commanders cabin and
was courteously received by Captain
Kempff He had been up all night. and
as he expressed it, was not feeling
quite wide-awake." He talked pleas
antly Of the trip up from the Golden
Gate, and was greatly interested in
knowing the news of the wire since
they left California four days age.
When he learned the result Of the
tariff bill he did not express any SUR
prise. aa
II rather expected that would be the
ultimate result" said the Captain, lean
ing back in his chair, and it must be
a relief to the country at large to know
that it is settled one way or the
other"
In regard TO the Bennington, and her
refugee passengers from San Salvador,
the captain was particularly interested,
in knowing If they had been sighted
off the heads at San Francisco. He
had not yet read the morning papers.
II am almost an old pioneer in this
part of the country. and know many of
the citizens of ASTORIA 1t is quite an
agreeable change coming up here after

Just then beautiful bouquet of roses
was handed the captain, with compli-
ments of some lady ashore. The card
bad become detached, but the name
of the donor was repeated to the cap
tain by the bearer. Afterward, in try
ing to recall the name he repeated over
the names of a number of Astoria's ci-
tizens, showing that he had not for
gotten his old friends.
Up on deck they were busy washing
down and getting ready to receive vis-
itors on the morrow.
