GOV. GAGE TO THE FRONT.
He is First to Greet the Returning
California Soldiers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-The
Post this evening gives the follow
ing account of the part Governor
Gage took in the reception and well
come of the California boys to-day:
Governor Gage proved himself
worthy of the duties imposed upon him
to-day by the people of California as
their official representative in the well
coming of the incoming volunteers.
Despite the trying ordeal of last
night, when he journeyed out to sea
to greet the Sherman's passengers and
assure them of the welcome that
awaited them ashore, he was up early
this morning, busily preparing for an
other but probably more pleasant duty
Although the city had made elabo-
rate preparations for the reception of
the Sherman on her entering the har-
Dor, it devolved upon the Governor to
officially and formally welcome the re-
turning volunteers on behalf of citizens
throughout the State, who are equally
interested in the welfare of the troops,
and are as proud of the record they
made for themselves as are those in
San Francisco.
Before bidding good night to Colonel
Duboce last night, the Governor and
the regimental commander briefly dis
cussed the plans of to-day's reception
and agreed upon the hour at which they
should again meet.
ct will endeavor to enter the Golden
Gate about 1 o'clock" said Colonel Du-
boce, ''and will carefully watch for
your boat when it comes out to meet
u.s."
Very we'll" shouted back the Gov
ernor, unless unforeseen obstacles in
tervene I will be punctual,'' and he
kept his word.
While the tug Governor Markham
was being made spick and span this
morning, Governor Gage, with Adju-
tant General Seamans, was busy at the
Palace Hotel completing the arrange
ments for his second trip on the bay.
The members of his staff were also on
the scene early and awaited final in
structions from the Governor.
Just before the Markham landed her
passengers late last night Mrs. Duboce,
who had accompanied the Governor
and his party out to the Sherman, was
informed that her presence aboard the
tug To-Day WOULD De most pleasing W
the former, and it is hardly necessary
to state that the lady gladly accepted
the invitation, for she hoped tha fate
might favor her greatest desire, that
of boarding the Sherman and throwing
herself into the arms of her gallant sol
dier husband.
But the womanly ambition was not to
be realized, for General Shafter could
not consistently grant her the necess-
sary permission to go aboard the trans
port.
In a. Letter to Governor Gage sent to
the latter late yesterday the General
stated that he fhe Governor) would be
the only one permitted to go aboard
the Sherman, and he finally refused to
depart from this ruling.
orders had been issued by Governor
Cage to his staff and military and
civilian guests that they should be on
hoard the Markham at Mission street
dock not later than 11:30 to-day.
At that hour the deck of the fast
little steamer was well crowded and all
present were patiently awaiting the
coming Of the Governor and his staff
shortly before II they put in an ap-

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Otis Order Not Likely to Cause In
ternational Complications.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The State
Department does not apprehend that
any international complications Will
arise over General Otis action in ex-
cluding Chinese from the Philippines,
as this is said to be only a temporary
military expedient, leaving the general
question to be determined by Congress
Moreover, it seems that the exclu-
sion comes about through the adoption
of the military regulations following
the line of United States laws, and not
by the detailed enforcement of the
United States statutes relating to Chin
ese exclusion. While the same end is
attained yet the distinction is made
that Congress is the only body which
can apply United States law to the
Philippines, although the military au-
thorities may adopt temporary steps
conforming to these laws.

Yaa No Intention to Do Harm.

LONDON, Aug. 24-Considerable
alarm was created yesterday evening
by man throwing letter into Queen
Victoria's carriage as she was driving
into Osborne, Isle of Wight. A rumor
spread to the effect that the letter con-
tained an explosive, but this turned
out to be false The police arrested the
man, whose letter was only an appeal
to her majesty to secure for him a new
trial of a civil suit which he recently
lost The prisoner was found to be a
German, who was not aware that his
action was against the law. AS it was
evident that he had no intention to do
harm, the man was released. The
Queen was surprised when the letter
fell in her lap, but she betrayed no
alarm.
