Forming the court there are some 49,
there is another but smaller court of
honor. composed Of white frosted lamps
carrying in their center the emblems
of the Knights Templar in colors.
The Earl of Euston, grand master Of
the great priory of England and Wales,
and the members of his party have
been the recipients of much attention
today. They are Quartered at the Pal
ace hotel. The same hosiery serves
as headquarters for the visiting ladies
and for the grand encampment Of the
United States. The rotunda and par
lors oft he hotels have been converted
into veritable fairyland by the use
of tens Of thousands of botted plants
and blossoms, which serve to show
what California can produce in the way
of Horticulture. Another center Of in
terest is the Mechanics Pavilion,
which serves as reception headquarters
for the California Communicates. Inn
mense tables stretch through a large
eatables, while attendants dispense
Californian wines from enormous de-
canters.
The different hotels where the large
Communicates are making their head
quarters have been damned to the
doors. Each commandery is keeping
open house. and a constant stream of
humanity In black and gold regalia has
been pouring in and out since early
morning.
A great feature of the gathering this
year IL the number OF visitors who are
attending simply as spectators. The
low railroad rates and the opportunity
offered to view the beauties of the Yell
lowstone national park and the scenic
wonders OF the far west have attracted
thousands Of people from the east. All
trains are late from one to two hours.
and a glance at the hotel registers
shows that there Is scarcely a place OF
any Importance throughout the entire
country that Is not represented among
the visitors.
Throughout the city the holiday
spirit reigns supreme. Before the sun
was fairly up this morning strains OF
music were heard in the streets AZ res

RUSSIAN POLITICIANS.
Withdrawal OF Vioeroy May Reverse
Russian Policy.

Washington, April %. = The an
nouncement from st. Petersburg by
the Associated Press of the withdrawal
of Alexieff from the direction of affairs
of the far east, together with the lucid
and interesting story of the rise and
fall of the element in Russian headed
by Alexeiff and Bezobrazoff, was re-
ceived with intense interest in official
circles. The change just indicated is
believed to portend a complete reversal
of Russian policy in Manchuria, and it
is thought that could Russia save her
face and pride before the civilized
world by scoring decisive victory on
land the way would speedily be opened
for peace negotiations on the broad
basis of the last japanese proposition
just before the outbreak of the war.
The restoration of power and influence
