The San Francisco call., 1895-12-13

There was surprise indeed at this, for the
honor had not been expected. But Mr.. Fugazi
and his friends prepared to make the call.
''I made arrangements for the finest private
conveyance could get in Rome, he said. 81
told the proprie tor l did not care how much it
cost so l could get it. On the day in question
we drove up to the palace in magnificent
open carriage drawn by pair OF the noblest
looking black horses 1 have ever seen. The
gold OF the harness shone in q resplendent
way, and in our morning dress and tall silk
hats presume we appeared as magnificent in
every way as any embassy who ever called on
the King.
sWe were treated, too, with all the courtesy
and dignity accorded an embassy. The SER
geant-at-arms met us with courtly salutation
and the grand master OF ceremonies, who
received US at the door, conducted us into the
immediate presence OF the King.
ga more cordial greeting it would be impos-
sible to receive.
s.The King, who is SO years old, was clad in
morning dress. His head was uncovered, and
he rose and extended his hand in the heartiest
way.
1--WE sat down and talked for forty minutes
tried to go several times, fearing the King
might be wearied, but he would not permit it.
He put his arm around my neck and asked all
about San Francisco and California ana the
Italian people here.
"I charge you,' he said, that you convey my
best wishes and kindest regards to the colonies
of Italians in San Francisco and elsewhere in
California, and say to them that | am in full
sympathy with them in all their efforts. Say
also that am proud to get such good news OF
them

so cordial was the reception. can never for

monument of Victor Emmanuel at the Pam

from the California delegates. and for over
three weeks il remained there. Honors were
heaped on California everywhere.
81 visited different parts OF Italy. It is more
prosperous than it has been for years. One
cause of this is that the once dense population
has been decreased by migrations to Argen-
tine and Brazil 1 saw single contract for
no less than 80, 900 people to go to the latter
country. So great has been the exodus that
whole environments have almost been de-
populated. Only few old people were left.

it to entirely pass a given point by marching
continually. The Californians carried mag
nificept banner in it, on which was the word
Eureka" and the arms of California, COM
bined with the coat of arms of Italy. Over
10000 banners were displayed in all, but the
banner OF the Calfornians received more ap-
plause, Mr.. Fugazi says, than any other. 1t
was continually cheered.
On the evening of that day, too, the Cali
fornians were entertained by the municipality
of Rome 81 banquet Over 200 persons were
present, comprising many dukes, chevaliers,
counts and what not of the nobility OF the
kingdom. At this, too, the CalifoTnians were
given the post OF honor.
Mr.. Fugazi sat at the feast opposite the
Mayor of Rome. There were many speeches.
and the claims of the Golden State for consid-
Grafton. with the hopes and successes of the
Italian colony here, were told by the delegates.
At the last the Mayor of Pome presented Mr..
Fugazi with bronze medal suitably inscribed
by the municipality for being present to repre-
sent the colony.
But this was not all. A day or two later
King Humbert sent word that he would like to
see Mr.. FugaZi. The invitation came signed in
the name of the grand master of ceremonies
and was an imposing-lOoking document, bear
ing the great seal OF the empire.
When Mr.. Fugazi tore open the strange and
unlocked tor document it was found to read as
follows:

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"Forty Minutes With a King" is an express
siye caption for some of the eventful expert
ence which J. F. Fugazi has recently had in
Italy. Mr.. Fugazi left here for the land of his
birth several months ago as a representative of
the Italian colony of this City, to the great
festival held in Rome on September 20 in
honor of the twenty-ffth anniversary OF the
unity of Italy.
He was in Italy three months and twelve
days, and got back yesterday.
1t would take good while to tell all that
Mr.. FugaZi saw as he has, in his enthusiastic
way, recounted it, but it is worth listening to.
He had a great time at the festival, as had the
several other delegates from San francisco.
In the procession on carnival day the Califor-
mans were given the chosen place of honor,
being, in fact, just ahead of the old veterans
under the great Carl Daldi.
That pI ocession started at 1 80 P. NJ. in Rome

Women who study fashions in farsighted

has now disappeared. It seems significant
that the Southern Pacific is pushing its
lines toward San Diego, and indicates that
this company, foreseeing what would be-
come of the Santa Fe, is preparing against
the invasion of the San Francisco territory
by the Santa Fe
The Santa Fe has a through line from
California to Chicago, which gives 1t
great advantage over the Southern Paciflc,
for the Southern Pacifc's through line to
New York by way of New Orleans and
steamships thence is too long and slow to
compete with the Santa Fe for the most
profitable traffic.
An excellent plan for the Santa Fe, and
one that doubtless it has under considera-
tion, would be the purchase of the Central
Pacific if the Government should put it up
for sale on foreclosure of its mortgage.
The road, until another as short and di-
rect is built, must always remain the best
route from San Francisco to the East. 1t
is conceivable that Mr.. Huntington's des-
perate opposition to foreclosure is inspired
by a fear which the reorganization OF the
Santa Fe arouses. With the Central Pa
cific in the hands of the Santa Fe, Mr..
Huntington NOult Uc Sll0CtlNCAy DOteiSN'
Of course be would have an equal chance
with the Santa Fe in bidding for the road,
but by so doing be would be paying the
debt which he owes the Government and
which he is moving heaven and earth to
escape paying. Altogether, the advent OF
this new management of the Santa Fe
puts peculiar phase on the railroad situ-
alton and StrengthenS the reasons OF
California why it should oppose any fund
ing measure and force the foreclosure OF
the Government mortgage.
