THE DINING-ROOM IN THE WHITE HOUSE in Which
Major and Mrs Mckinley Were Entertained by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland at Dinner Last Evening.

response and then stepped to the platform
TO receive the greetings of the reception
committee.
Half-a-dozen policemen marched ahead
and on the fianks of the President-ele cts s
large party as it proceeded down the plat
form toward the ladies' entrance. Mr..
and Mrs. Mckinley were imm ediately
preceded by Barrett and Bell of the COM
mittee. Mrs. Mckinley leaned on the
arm of the President-elect.
Colonel Bartlett escorted Mrs. Nancy A.
Mckinley, the President-elect's mother.
The procession proceeded very slowly and
with dignity. Major Mckinley had one
hand thrust into the bosom Of his long
frock coat, while in the other he carried a
large bunch of white carnations. Mrs.
Mckinley, looking somewhat tired and
carewcrn, also carried carnations. Doff-
ing his silk hat pleasantly to every body
who saluted him, Major Mckinley walked
along toward the crowd outside the gates
eagerly awaiting him. He bowed to the
train crew, the dining-car servants, the
porters and the OF ers who were on the
platform and at the windows cf The aiA.
When the engine was reached the pro-
cession halted moment while the Presi-
dent-elect handed the engineer the carna-
tions be had been carrying. This made
every body in the vicinity look happy, but
none looked SO happy as the begrimed
throttle-handler, who fairly blushed
through the SCOT on his face.
Another cheer from within told the
crowd outside that their patience was to
be rewarded at last. They, too, yelled
when the well-known face of the Presi-
dent-elect appeared at the door of the
ladies' waiting-room.
The task of getting the President-elect's
carriage started away from the station
was the work of but moment, and be-
fore the crowd knew it he was rapidly dis
appearing up Pennsylvania avenue. With
Major and Mrs. Mckinley in their car
rage were Chairman Bell and Secretary
Porter, while in the following vehicle sat
Mother Mckinley, Colonel Britton,
Mrs. j. Addison Porter and Mrs. G. G..
Glover of this city. The other members
of the large party that accompanied Major
Mckinley to Washington took other car
riages.
The ride up Pennsylvania avenue past
the reviewing stands and many other evil
dences OF the approaching Inauguration
was an interesting feature. No mounted
escort was there to tell that the President
elect had arrived, but the crowds along
the sidewalk recognized Major Mckinley
as his carriage proceeded unattended at a
leisurely pace, and several times knots of
spectators set up cheer. At Fourteenth
street, where the carriage turned from
Pennsylvania avenue toward the Ebbitt
House, large crowd shouted enthusias-
tically when the carriage appeared.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2-The
President-elect and Vice-President-elect
sleep in the National capital tonight.
Their temporary headquarters at the Eb-
bi,t and Arlington hotels respectively see
with hopeful anticipations thousands of
perspiring patriots. The streets resemble
the eve of nominating convention.
All trains are bringing in crowds of peo-
pie to attend the inauguration. No one
can tell whether the arriving train is the
limited express OF yesterday or the day
before. The streets are already thronged
with strangers. All theaters are crowded,
but the greatest show of all, the Capitol,
with both houses of Congress in night ses-
sion and no charge for admission, was the
chief attraction. The public galleries
were packed and the pubic corridors were
rendered almost impossible by people
waiting their turn 10 take in the sights.
The weather has turned unexpectedly
warm, with SUSPICION OF rain in the air,
though nothing more serious than few
showers is at present apprehended.

AMERICANS IN HAHANA EXCITED.
Fear an Attack by Spnniards on General
Lee and the Legotion-Weyier's
Recall Confirmed.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March "a dis
patch to the Sun from Havana says: The
American residents in Havana are greatly
excited by the reports concerning the Bit
ter feeling of the Spanish volunteers
against General Lee and the United
States.
There is fear that an attack will be
made upon the legation, which is at pres
ent not protected against aggression from
the Spanish mob. Consul-GoneraI Lee
preserves dignifed attitude, and quietly
attends to his office business.
He has no means of repelling an attack
and knows perfectly well that the ILL
feeling of the Spanish masses against him
grows more and lore threatening daily.
The release of Sanguilly and his safe ar.
rival at Key West has caused great indig-
nation among the Spaniards.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 2.-The
President recovered from his rheuma attic
attack this evening sufficiently to assist
Mrs. Cleveland in entertaining the Presi.
dent elect at dinner. This was purely an
informal domestic affair to which no others
were hidden, and at 1880 o'clock the three
persons sat down to beautiful repast in
the small private dining-room of the
executive mansion. The charming hospi-
tallty for which the Clevelands have been
noted was exemplified. The two men re-
sumed an acquaintance terminated eight
years ago, when President Cleveland COM
pleted his first term of Office.
Their conversation over the cigars in all
proba bility drifted over the wide range Of
grave state affairs which one will not un-
willingly relin quish to the other two days
hence.
Mrs. Mckinley was feeling too fatigued
to attend.

PECULIAR LAND DEAL
A FRIENDLY CONTRACT WHICH
WAS NOT CARRIED OUT
And Which Led to Complications in
the Bojorques Family-Decision
by Judge York

An opinion was rendered yesterday in
the suit of Eulalia Bojorques de Rangel
and her husband against Ballero Bo-
jorques and his wife, Francisco, by
Judge York, wherein he found in favor OF
the defendants, with costs.
The action was one to quiet title to a
lot Of land in South Santa Monica, but
there were some odd features about it.
The defendant, Ballero Bojorques, in
answer to plaintiffs complaint, averred
that on the 10th day Of December, 1895,
Geraldo Bojorques was the owner in fee
simple Of the lot Of land and that, on.
that day. Geraldo entered into a con-
tract with said Ballero, whereby 1t was
agreed that Ballero should take care of
Geraldo and his wife, who were the
father and mother Of Bailero, during
their lives, in consideration of which
Geraldo was to convey to the defendant
the property.
That, pursuant to said agreement, Bal
lero. with hie wife. moved into the house
situated on the lot. and entered upon the
execution of his contract, by cooking for
and otherwise taking care Of Geraldo
and his wife, who were both then very
old and feeble; and the defendant, Bal
lero, further avered that, after he had
taken possession Of said property, and
was performing his said contract, Ger
aldo made and executed a deed to him
for the property. which deed was deliv-
cred to j. ]. Corillo in escrow, who was
directed by both Geraldo and Ballero, to
deliver the deed to Ballero on the COM
pletion of the contract.
Ballero continued to nurse, cook for,
and in every way care for Geraldo and
his wife. until the 9Th day of February,
1896. on which day the wife of Geraldo
died; that, after the death of Geraldo's
wife. Ballero and his wife continued to
take care of Geraldo until the 10th day of
February, 1896. when Geraldo, without
any reason or cause whatever, left the
premises and refused any longer to re-
main with defendants. and, on the 3rd
day Of March, 1896, demanded of said
Corillo the said deed, and Corillo, con-
trary to his stipulation. delivered it to
Geraldo, who destroyed It. In August,
1896. Geraldo died. About ten days after
the death Of his wife, Geraldo by rea-
son of grief over his wifes death and |
his advanced age, became weak In mind, |
for the transaction of |
business. and while he was In such con-
dition of mind, on the 4th day Of April,
the plaintiffs persuaded and induced him
to make and acknowledge deed of the
property to them, without any consid-
GRAFTON whatever, and with full knowl-
edge on their part Of said contract be-
tween Ballero and Geraldo, and of the
g q InoI H..
said Corillo.
Ballero further alleged that the SER
vices which he rendered to Geraldo un-
der and by virtue of said contract were
worth more than the sum of $500, and
that no part Of the same has ever been
paid, and that the defendants, ever
since the making of said contract, have
been, and still are in the possession of
said lot of land, under and by virtue of |
said contract, and claiming the same by |
virtue thereof.

ling. growing town Of Fullerton. Here
all nature smiles in this paradise of
loveliness. Tropic trees shade the ver-
nal lawns and the meadows are massed
with growths Of grasses, fattening and
sweet, while the honey bee may gather
its store from December to December.
1t lies In the midst of q veritable land of
sunshine and flowers.
In q good many things Fullerton is
different from other towns Here no high
hopes, born of the boom, lie buried be-
meath the wrecks stretched along the re-
ceding shore of prosperity. No citizen
points to vacant blocks and tells the
stranger of the glorious past of boom
times" or with a sigh and lament be-
means the passing of prosperity. These
things are not here. Where they exist
their causes antedate Fullerton. It Is
not the child of the boom.
It was not until 1883 that It was de-
cided to build town where Fullerton IL
located At that time large body Of
land was secured and the town laid out.
The original purchase comprised tract
Of 43o acres. It takes it's name from Mr..
George Fullerton, who was then a d.
rector Of the Santa Fe. The voting dis
trict now covere about thirty-six square
miles, and con aims fully 1900 people.
The rapid growth Fullerton has made
in the past few years is not surpassed by
any locality in the state. The annual
shipment Of produce from the six large
racking and warehouses in Fullerton
has 30 increased from but beginning in.
the year 1888 that now, by actual rail-
road statistics. 1t exceeds that Of any
other point south Of the Southern Cali
fornia metropolis.
This year upward Of thousand car
loads OF hay and grain will be shipped
from Fullerton. Two hundred carloads
OF oranges have already been shipped,
with about eight or ten more to be for
warded. Thirty carloads of sweet po-
tatocs, one hundred carloads Of ca bbage,
ten of lemons, twenty-four carloads Of
wool and about sixty carloads Of wal
nuts were shipped for the season.
AS the area brought under cultivation
for the growing of all these products is
being constantly expanded, the ship
ments will increase in the future as|
rapidly as in the past. Hundreds OIL

ped from Fullerton the entire season Of
summer and winter.
The soil Of the extensive back country
\or land lying around Fullerton, includ-
Ing the productive Placentia, La Habra
and Orangethorpe districts contiguous
thereto, Is rich sandy loam Of great
depth. varying from ten to sixteen feet.
and. on account Of sub-irrigation,
grain can be raised without water. There
are over 5000 acres OF this land in barley
this season.
In its capacity for production It II ths
most varied, and at the same time the
richest. body Of land in Southern Cali
fornia. In the foothills few miles back
of the town are some forty oil wells,
which are producing an abundant and
constant stream Of oil Of good quality,
which adds much business to the town.
The Chino beet-sugar factory alone pur-
chases and consumes $4,000 barrels Of
this oil annually. Recently oil has been
developed just outside the town, the
Santa Fe Railroad company having
sunk one well from which they obtain
q flow OF sixty barrels per day. and are
boring others in the Same locality.
The growing Of walnuts is one Of the
most profitable pursuits in and around
Fullerton. the soil being peculiarly well
adapted for their successful production.
Most Of the immense crop Of walnute
in the district is handled and marketed
by the Walnut Growers association, an
organization started in 1898. and which
has been the most successful. and withal
the most satisfactorily managed, as
sociation in Southern California.
The orange groves about Fullerton are

All are occupied from cellar to garret,
and were built to meet the actual and
pressing needs OF business. Hundreds
OF beautiful homes have been built In
and around Fullerton within the past
few years, and many more are in course
Of erection. Last year thirty-eight new
cottages were put up by the thrifty and
coAtented home-buildere OF the town.
The citizens are highly intelligent
and moral In character. and take deep
interest in educational matters There
are three excellent schools IN the dis
trict, with spacloua and comfortable
buildings for exercises. One Of the only

John F. Hiltscher, a skilled cabinet
maker, is located at Fullerton. He is
also expert in repairing bicycles, does
brazing of all kinds.
The rapid growth of Fullerton is in
dicated by the fact that at the election
two years ago the district cast only
1893 votes, and at the last election 300
votes were cast.
McFadden & Williams conduct finely
equipped billiard parlors at Fullerton,
where gentlemen may pass the time
