The occasion for this outburst of en- thusiasm was the arrival of delegates to the Grand Lodges of Knights of Pythias and Rathbone Sisters, which will convene in this city tomorrow morning, marking the first event of the week set aside for the annual rose car nival celebration, the predecessors of which already have made this city and its floral wealth famous over half the world.

 Parks band then gave an open air concert from the portico of the Court house for the entertainment of the throngs that lined the sidewalks, and the Pythian band escorted the dele gates to Fraternity Hall, where short opening session of the Grand Lodge was called to order.
 Grand Chancellor Grant called meet Ing to order. The grand lodge degree was conferred on 150 candidates.

RUSSIA BUYING GOLD.
Secured All of the Yellow Metal Re-

CeHtIy IUn1 t0o O"Po'
 LONDON, May 16.-The St. James Ga zette in it's financial article this after noon says: Russia to-day is said to have completed the purchase of the whole of the recent arrivals of gold from the Cape. Such a transaction is exceptional, as considerable time has elapsed since Rus new buyer in addition to the United States gold should shortly be higher. Russia paid ITS 9iad, but if the United States demands had not temporarily ceased 1t Is questionable if the price would not have been above ITS Tod. It is thought Russia will buy frequently hereafter. If so, it will be another in- dication of the political wind.
