post and fortihcatlon. Small craft of all
kinds and description joined in a triumph
ant water parade back to the city. The
day was not an ideal one, for smoke and
fog dim med the horizon, but this did not
dampen the ardor of those participating
in the welcome. During salute OF TWEEN
ty -one guns, which was fired by the Mike
Maru in fitting acknowledgment of tie
compliment, innumerable japanese rock
cts were shot skyward, producing a most
beautiful effect.

from which formal addresses of welcome
were delivered by Hon. E. G. Hughes,

merce and Mayor Wood. Appropriate
responses were made by Mkt Saito. Jan

chosen remarks saying:
This, l imagine, is the very first occa-
sion on which japanese vessel broke the
foam OF the Pacific to find its wav tn a
welcome in the smiling waters of PUGET
Sound"

on August 8, via Honolulu, LEAVING the
latter port on August q. 1t brou9 ht a

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 31.-"Jim"
Witty will have to satisfy himself with the
empty glory of having captured Sontag,
the late partner of Chris Evans, for it was
decided to-day that Witty was not entitled
to any part of the $4,000 reward given by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Witty recently brought suit against the
company in the United States Circuit
Court to compel it to pay him the 500
reward. The court decided Witty caught
Sontag only after some one else had shot
him, and was, therefore. not entitled to
the money.

silver leaders at the Boise convention to
secure fusion with the Populists and Dem.

Idaho in the interests of the Democratic
party, in exchange for the silver Demo-

could accomplish. There has been so
much contention that it is certain it is too
