King Edward and King Victor Emman.
uel Very Cordial.


Gaeta, Italy, April ia.-The British
royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with
King Edward and Queen Alexandra on
board, arrived here at $50 a. m from
Valetta, island of Malta, escorted by
the British armored cruisers Suffolk
and Lancaster. King Edward was re-
ceived by King Victor Emmanuel, who
was on board the Italian royal yacht
Trinacria, surrounded by twelve ital-
ian warships and twelve torpedo
boats The usual salutes were ex-
changed and hearty cheers greeted
the British king from the people
ashore and the sailors on board the
warships.
The two kings embraced each other
repeatedly when they met on board
the Trinacria and King Victor EN-
manuel kissed Queen Alexandra's
hand.
A luncheon on board the Trinacria
followed. It was mainly attended by
military and naval officers, the only
local officials invited being General
del Rosso, commander Of the fort OF
Gaeta. The presence of Marine Min
lister hirabello and the commanders
OF SO many men-of-war before one OF
the chief strongholds In the Mediter-
ranean accentuated the martial char
acter of the repast. The toasts ex-
changed were simply expressions OF
the friendship between Italy and Great
Britain

RISING FROM ASHES
San Francisco Celebrates Anni=

RAPID RECOVERY APPARENT

preaching Its Former Figures.
San Francisco. April 19.-Just one
year ago San Francisco was all but
wiped out Of existence by fire sue
ceeding terrific earthquake shock.
Nearly 25O,O0O people were rendered
homeless and the financial loss
amounted to about $500,OOO.0OO.
The city was left a mass OF smok-
ing ruins and rehabilitation seemed a
matter Of many years. Today the sun
rose from cloudless sky over busy
metropolis In which the volume of
business more than equals that OF a
twelve-month ago and whose popula-
ton is fast approaching its former fig
ures. Such record Is said to be
without parallel.
During the year s75, 100000 has been
expended In the work Of reconstruc-
ton, one-third of which was furnished
by the savings banks, which, In COM
mon with all the financial institutions.
withstood the disaster without sign
of weakness. Over s3O,0O0,0O0 has
been paid for labor, $4,000 men are
now engaged In the building industry,
while before the fire only 10000 were
at work Temporary construction
which for a while prevailed, has
ceased and permits for the erection OF
first class fireproof structures to cost
over $50,000,000 have been granted.
The restoration of old buildings which
survived the flames will require the
expenditure Of many millions more.
About 200 miles Of street railways,
rendered useless, are now In running
order. Perhaps the most convincing
proof Of the substantial rehabilitation
Of the city is shown by the bank
clearings, which for March exceeded
by nearly $2.50O.000 the figures for
the same month Of last year, just pre-
oeding the catastrophe.
In recognition and celebration OF
what has been done services were
held In the various churches and
while not legal holiday work In
many places was suspended. In the
evening the Merchants association. a
prominent factor in the labor Of re-
construction, fittingly commemorated
the uprising of the new San Francisco.
This commemoration took the form OF
a banquet at the splendid new Fair
mount hotel, many prominent citizens
being among its invited guests.

President, Barrett, of Georgia, was in
consultation with the officers and
many matters of general interest to
the union were discussed
1t rs, of course, impossible to give
the result OF the caucus on many
things discussed, but the Daily Pied
mont has 1t from good authority that
the most important matter. deter
mined was that the meeting called
for Columbia on the 18th is unau-
thorized, and that If any action is
taken there looking to changes in
the constitution or the officers of the
union 1t will not be recognized by the
National Union.
AS the meeting Is declared unau-
thorized, nothing that it odes will be
binding, now matter how many un-
ions are represented
Several conferences were held and
much discussion made, but IL is said
that the State President and execu-
tive committee are backed by the
National President, and will be sus-
tained in the position that the call
for Columbia was Illegal, and unau-
thorized.

is very evident from notices and Or
ders that have made their appear
ance recently In the newspapers that
all ID not as tranquil and smooth as
1t might be in the big association.

retary of the executive committee.
The notice in which the proposed
State gathering is called off is signed
by President Goodwin and four Of
the five members of the State execu-
tive committee, including j. B. Pick

From these contrary notices it ap-
pears that there Is some decided dis
sention among the State officials in
South Carolina. 1t is very likely
that there will be somebody on hand
in Columbia on the fixed date for the
meeting and "a big fight can be ex-
,pected. Probably an effort will be,
made to oust President Goodwin and
other officials, but whether the secre-
tary-treasurer and those allied on his
side will be able to control the meet
ing remains to be seen.
President Goodwin spent yester-
day in Greenyille, and while here had
a conference with four members of
the executive committee. 1t was at
this meeting that the following no.
