SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 30.-It Is be-
lieved here tonight that Senator Albert j..
Beveridge, of Indiana, is inside the Golden
Gate on board the City of Peking which ar
rived from the Orient this afternoon and
proceeded to the quarantine station. 1t had
been expected here for several days that
Senator Beveridge would arrive on the Pc
king, but his name does not appear on her
passenger list. The passengers are not al
lowed to hold communication with the
shore, and there is a general belief that he
may have taken passage under an assumed
name. This could be explained If Senator
Beveridge had secured permission to be
transferred from the quarantined Empress
of India at Nagasak to the City of Peking.
Through some information received here
about week ago from the East, the first
intimation was given Of Mr.. Beveridge's in
tention of returning home by way of San
Francisco instead of Vancouver, as he at
first planned to do. Within few days after
the first information was received letters
began to arrive at the principal hotels of
the city addressed to the Indiana senator,
while the big publishing houses sent rep
resentatives to head him off and secure. If
possible, his signature to contracts for mag
azine articles on the Philippine question.
These emissaries are here In force at pres
ent with the expectation of being the first
to see Mr.. Beveridge when he lands. 1t is
understood that nearly all the principal
magazines will submit Jpg9Q positions for ar
Eicles
While these facts have led many to be-
lieve that Mr.. Beveridge would arrive on
the City of Peking, there are many who feel
sure he is in Yokohama and will return on
the Empress Of China to Vancouver. 1t is
known that on July 3 he was in Nagasaki
on board the Empress of India, which was
at that time held in quarantine. The City
OF Peking left that port July s. allowing suf-
ficient time to have enabled Mr.. BeveriGge
to board the Peking and started for home.
Those who insist that Mr.. Beveridge is on
the Peking advance the theory that Mrs.
Beveridge Joined her husband at Nagasaki,
engaged passage for herself and husband
on the Peking under assumed names and
then had him transferred from the Empress
of India to the Peking without the knowl-
edge Of the quarantine officers. At any rate
the Peking will have to remain in quarantine
here for two days, according to rule i'm
posed on steamers from ports infected with
the bubonic plague, during which time 1t
will be impossible to interview him under
any circumstances.
Inquiry in this city developed the fact
that Mr.. Beveridge is not expected to ar
rive here until next month and while it is
admitted that there is a possibility that he
might have boarded the Peking at Nagasaki,
in order to save the monotony of the quar-
antine, it is not looked on as likely. United
States Consul Harris, at Nagasaki, cabled
the State Department last week that Mr..
Beveridge was "all right" which leads
some to believe he has not yet sailed.
