improving the Sacramento river, Sims
declared that at the present time only
rs per cent Of the water Is now flowing
past Sacramento, and that the current
was not swift to carry the debris in So

tirely closed.
Recently the Keegan constitutional

sition, voted unanimously to recommend
its adoption. Today Keegan asked and
obtained leave to have his amendment
referred back to the committee for fur
ther consideration. That committee de-
sires to hear some of the same kind Of
arguments that convinced the senators.
The amendment has been changed since
first introduced, but only as respects the
state board of equalization, the taxatio
features remaining the same.

sumed in red-hot discussion on the print

Mr.. BAYARD'S RETIREMENT
SiguaIized by . Banquet by the Royal
Society
tlonal Pssce Which Bayard Has Always
-. ---~-.-.-- Striven to Preserve

LONDON, Feb. 11-One hundred and
fifty persons assembled this afternoon
at the dinner which the Royal Society's S
club gave the American ambassador,
Mr.. Bayard, upon his retirement from
the court of st. James. Mr.. Bayard
sat between Sir Clements Markham and
the Marquis of Lorne. Throughout the
dinner the band Of the Coldstream
guards played the music, including
many American airs.
A feature of the speeches was the eX-
treme cordiality with which all refer
ence to the United States were received.
Sir Clements Markham, president of the
club, in proposing toast in honor CT
Bayard, said that true ties between
Great Britain and the United States and
cordial friendship never to be forgotten
have been formed between Americans
and Englishmen.
In conclusion he eulogized the efforts
of the ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, in Eng
land, in the interests of peace and goo1
will.
Ambassador Bayard was loudly
cheered when he rose to respond. He
made direct allusion to the arbitration
treaty and inquired whether, with this
important measure and the matter of
the rule of the road at sea settled It
could not be believed that all other DIFF
ferences could be disposed of by arbitra-
ton. This was followed by loud and
continuous cheering.
Continuing, Mr.. Bayard said: II leave
you in peace, and 1 hope to learn that
you are always at peace with the world.
1 have labored for better understand
ing between the well-meaning men of
both countries. / do not pretend to
speak for others, for I am glad to say
l am not their accredited agent.
Il have always worn my colors in my
cap. No one can doubt, then, If plain
speaking can make them believe that the
real heart of the American people fol
which pretend to speak is for a manly
trust between the people OF both coun-
tries.''
The conclusion of Ambassador Bay
ards address was followed by prolonged
cheering.
The archbishop of Canterbury said. in
response to Mr.. Bayards address: Am
bassador Bayard has won the strongest
regard of the people of England. lie
represents the side of the American
character most like our own. We feel
that the links which Mr.. Bayard refer
red to bind us for all time. They will
always remind US that we are Of one
DIood. Our art ana our literature also
are one. Nobody desires the prosperity
OF the United States more than the peo-
pie of England. We love the nation
which is becoming SO powerfut before all
mankind, and we shall always treasure
Mr.. Bayard among our recollections OF
America and Americans"
Lord Chief Justice Russell eulogizec
Ambassador Bayard in the highest
terms.
Professor James Bryce, former presi-
dent of the board Of trade. also paid q
high eulogy to Ambassador Bayard, and
concluded with strong argument In
favor Of the principle Of arbitration.

EX.CONSUL THURSTON
VIII Work In Favor of the Annexation Of
Hawaii

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. I.-Lorin A
Thurston, ex-Hawaiian minister to the
United States, arrived from the islands
today. Thurston, as president of the
Annexation club of Honolulu, expects
to accomplish considerable missionary
work in aid of the annexation move
ment before his return home. His
mission is not an official one, he says,
and he has not been sent here either Dy
the government or by the Annexation
club. He says, however, that If the op
portunity presents itself he proposes to
exert his best efforts to aid the annexa-
ton movement He says: 1.-The all-ab-
sorbing theme of discussion in the
islands just now is annexation. AS the
day for the Inauguration of Mckinley
approaches interest in the annexation
question is becoming intensified and
widespread. The Annexation club has
been reorganized and now has a men,
bership of 5000. OF this number third
or a fourth are natives The natives
are joining the movement with the idea
that the annexation of the islands to the
United States is their only salvation
from the Japanese who are elbowing
them out of various fields of labor.
1.-The census of the islands has just
been completed. The census shows a
population of 81. 900 natives. 5000 half
castes and mixed races, "a 900 Japanese,
81, 600 Chinese and $4,000 whites, includ-
ing Americans and Europeans. The
official returns have occasioned some
surprise. 1t was generally presumed
that the Japanese population was
greatly in excess of the figures given"
