In Butte, Mont, there is a gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old game Of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of Interrupt
ton. The.entrance is from an alley near
Broadway, and the house is luxurtously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors,' sOftened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or. take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity Of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Butte's elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts, to quietly venture sill

their husbands, who busy themselves In

Prince Sadanaru Of the house of
Fushimi arrived here yesterday from
Japan on the steamship Manchuria and
was accorded a reception BETTING his
rank as a nobleman Of the spunky lit
tie nation that has opened the eyes of
the world in demonstrating military
and naval skill in its war with Russia.
The Manchuria was met vat the en-
trance TO the harbor by the revenue
tug Golden Gate, and, by the courtesy
Of the Treasury Department, the Prince
was permitted to leave the inbound
liner without the ceremony Of ''inspec-
ton" and, with his attendants, he was
landed several minutes later at WASH
ington street dock.
The Prince comes as a messenger, so
to speak, from the Emperor of Japan
TO President Roosevelt. He was cor
dial to the representatives of the Gov
eminent and the reception, committee
that were on board the Golden Gate to
offer him the hospitality of not only
San Francisco, but the United States.
The Manchuria anchored of Meiggs
wharf about 10 o'clock in the morning,
and a few minutes later the tug went
alongside. Those who were on the
Golden Gate were William B. Hamil-
ton, Hart H. North, Commissioner Of
immigration; Charles A Stephens, w.
d. Wightman and Harry Moffitt. The
japanese residents of this city were
represented by Japanese Consul K.
Myeno, S. Skatsuka, Secretary Of the
Japanese legation at Washington, T.
Mikimoto, manager of the Nutsui
Bussan Company, and K. Ito. manager
of the Togo Steamship Company.
d. S. Richardson, foreign secretary OF
the consulate Of Japan, was with A.
Oyama and ]. Iwaya, assistant secre-
taries of the consulate. Another one
of the welcoming host was S. Tosawa,
manager of the Yokohama Specie
Bank at San Francisco.
MANCHURIA ARRIVES.
When the Manchuria dropped anchor
the Golden Gate made fast alongside,
and the reception committee followed
the Custom House Inspectors I'D the
gangway. They were conducted to the
upper deck, where they We're presented
10 the Prince and his party. In his
suite are A Sata, Minister Resident:
Count S. Terashima, Lieutenant Col
onel S. Mihara, n. Watanahe, master
Of court ceremonies: S. Tokioka, of
ficer Of the imperial household de-
partment; S. Mkt, retainer of the
attending physician Of the Prince. All
the members Of the Princes party
were dressed in the latest American
style, except y. Watanahe, the master
of court ceremonies, who wore the
morning court uniform of Japan. which
is not unlike the uniform of an officer
in our own artillery corps. Across his
heart Watanahe wore several dozen
handsome medals. At his side was a
beautiful saber, and over his left arm
he carried a magnificent overcoat of
heavy brown satin gorgeouslv en-
broidered with the Mikado's crest.
AS he walked down the gang plank
from the Manchuria to the deck of the
Golden Gate many thought him 20 be
the Prince.
On arrival at Washington-street dock
the Prince was received by an immense
tnrong OF japanese. who saluted him
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-11-10

with modulated shouts of welcome.
Here a reception committee composed
of twenty local leading Japanese mer-
chants in frock co.'s. silk hats and
white gloves formed sort of hollow
square at the end of the wharf. n large
proportion of the japanese population
of the city was lined up at either side
of the long dock. The Prince was con-
Quoted to a handsome open carriage
and escorted by the reception commit
tee to the st. Francis Hotel, where
another delegation of Japanese was at
hand to offer him a hearty welcome.
He retired Immediately to his apart
ments, which consist of the entire
southern second floor of the hotel.
In honor of the visitors the hotel has
been beautifully decorated. Massive
jars and urns Of priceless value deco
rate the grand salon. The stairway
and halls leading to the Princes apart
ments are appropriately ornamented.
DRIVES IN PARK.
Shortly after luncheon the Prince,
with several of his suite took a, drive
through the park. He dined in his own
apartments. He will leave this morn
ing at 10 o'clock for Washington.
In speaking of his visit to this coun-
try the Prince said: II come here with
messages Of friendship from the EN-
peror OF Japan TO the President of the
United States AS the representative
of my country 1 shall deliver these
messages to President Roosevelt After
this l shall return by way of st. Louis
1 am very anxious to see your wonder
full Worlds Fair, OF which have heard
so much.
II am particularly interested in arts
and sciences and these 1 shall study
with especial interest. 1t is twenty
years since 1 have been in your coun-
try. Already L note the marvellous
changes that have taken place in your
magnificent city since that time. 1 shall
return here in time to sail for home on
the Mongolia, which leaves here for the
Orient on December %. l hope to
spend a few days in your oity at that
time, when l shall try to take in all the
many points Of interest about here"

but is a scholar of French In appear
ance he is above the height of the Jap
anese. He has commanding bearing
and looks every inch an army officer.
He is the highest in rank of the four

ASKS COURT TO ORDER
A SPECIAL ELECTION
Board OF Education Wants Supervis-
ors Forced to Submit Proposed
School Amendments.

Attorney Stephen Costello, acting in
behalf of the Board of Education,
filed a petition for a writ of mandate
at the Supreme Court yesterday ask
ing that the Board of Supervisors be
compelled to call a special election on
the proposed school amendments. The
Supervisors have declined to act in
the matter on the ground that there
were no funds available, but the
Board OF Education claims that the
election is necessary in view of the
formal issuance of the call for it sew
eral weeks ago.
Although the Supreme Court sus-
tanned the Election Commission in its
refusal to place the amendments on
the ballot at the general election.
there is some doubt in the minds of
the city's legal lights about the right
of the Supervisors to hold that the in
cident was thus closed
