FLEET REACHES
GOLDEN GATE
Greeted by San Francisco in a
Blaze of Glory

SAN FRANCISCO. May e.

COILS kissin' us or anybody offerin'
to stand treat. do ye? It's all a
dinged farce, that's what It is"
This wall of woe, coming straight
from the heart OF soldier from the
Preside. was a hopeless protest
against the mental condition OF the
people OF San Francisco and the
thousands upon thousands of visitors
who Joined In welcoming the great
armada as 1t made its spectacular
entry through the Golden Gate today.
A desolate, forlorn figure was this
land-fighter among the mob of thous-
ands which pressed about the water
front and cheered Justify whenever
a naval officer or sailor appeared.
San Francisco is mad, stark, raving
mad. over the arrival OF the fleet.
Were ever sailor an old world king,
wearing the crown of despotic power.
he would not find more willing and
enthusiastic subjects than those who
gathered today to pay tribute to the
gallant officers and sailors who have
safely brought Uncle Sans magnif-
cent feet OF sea-fghting machines
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Never before during a period OF
peace. in the history OF America has
there been such wild enthusiasm over
q naval event. such mad bubbllng-
over of patriotism. such a popular
and universal upheaval OF the spirit
OF war. With the arrival Of the bat

flight and the eagle of war is brood

Like Romans of old, eager for the
slaughter, or wildly exulting over
the victories of conquering legions,
the battle-mad mob, between mo-
ments of admiration for the feet and
It's men, discusses the possibility of
war with japan and sees, in i'm
agination, the proud navy of Nippon
shattered and annihllated by Shrek
ing shells from the engines of de-
struction that frown forth from the
battleships in the harbor.
But 1t Is not the lurking men,
ace of carnage and bloodshed, the
yelled threat of war, the grim
shadow that hides behind the inn
maculate paint and FURNISHED brass
of the battleships, that most Inn
mediately concerns the feet-mad San
Franciscans. Fun and frivolity are
the keynotes of the demonstration.
Mars, the hideous god Of war, is afar
OFF, and may be but vision, and in
the peaceful present San Francisco is
worshipping at the shrine of the gods
Of merriment and joy. Bacchus, too,
has his devotees, and, so be 1t II the
reyeler wears the uniform of Uncle
Sans sailor. all will be forgiven and
forgotten.
The rush for places of vantage to
witness the incoming of the fleet, be-
gan long before the hour set for its
arrival, and continued without abate-
ment until the great naval pageant
began. All sorts and conditions OF
men, women and children made up
the great concourse OF hundreds of
thousands of sightseers. Thousands
of them had come from distant cities
In California, Oregon, Utah, Nevada
and other states to see the feet and
take part in the frolics. School
boards in scores of California cities
had proclaimed today a holiday in
order that the children might see the
fleet, and thousands OF young hope
fuls, with shining, well scrubbed
faces and eager eyes, struggled with
their elders to see the battleships.
Everywhere patriotism was rampant.
Babes in arms bore futtering ribbons
or red, white and blue. and old men
sportively displayed neckties and hat
bands of the national colors.
And San Francisco was ready for
the feet and the crowds. The divers
committees which for weeks have
been working to make the affair a

never had sister of that name, but
had a niece. formerly resident of
Chicago, known as Lulu Lee, and
the executor had considered that 1t
was she to whom Mr.. Brown referred
and that the word sister was simply
a mistake in the draft of the will.
Now Lulu Strass of Fowlerville,
Mich, appears on the scene with a
petition praying that the one-eighth
interest bequeathed to Lulu Lee be
given to her, and in this she sets up
the fact that she is a real sister of
Matt Brown and that 1t is her belief
that the portion to Lulu Lee was
really intended for her and that the
mistake arose through the weakened
condition OF Matt Brown at the time
he made the will, The estate Is said
to be worth about $4,000.

INDEPENDENTS STILL HOPEFUL
Expect Good Per Cent of Unpledged
Precincts.

Expect Good Per Cent of Unpledged
Precincts.
LEWISTON, Idaho, May 6.-More
complete returns from the country
precincts and a closer analysis of
those reported last night give the
Thompson faction q victory in the
county and a majority In the conven-
ton of approximately 80 votes.
Thompson claims 102 delegates abb
solutely pledged, all of whom have
supported him in former fights, while
the independent" faction has AZ
votes pledged and promised to them.
This leaves "a delegates unheard
from and in the doubtful column.
Giving Thompson an even break on
these, he will go into the convention
with 100 delegates out of the total
number of 1873.
Thompson for the first time in the
history of the factional disturbances
is elected as delegate to the county
convention. He received the full
vote, was not apparently scratched
at all, carrying the precinct by the
usual majority of 2 to /.
In the country precincts Thompson
seems to have made gains, as he has
received a number of delegations for
merly lined up on the west side.
Spalding is an example Of this kind.
M. l.. Goldsmith, who has supported
the West faction, was left at home.
What is more significant is the fact
that Rim Rock, always favorable to
West, now sends a Thompson dele
cation, after a sharp fight.
The Independents believe they will
have a majority in the convention.
hoping to draw their strength from
number of unpledged precincts.
The fact that they are unpledged is
taken by the independent leaders to
mean that they are against Thomp-
son. Thompson, however. unless he
knows the complexion of the delega-
ton and the former Affiliations, places
such precincts in the doubtful col
umn. He first. however. picks out
men who have personally befriended
him in all political fights.

sideshow.
But for the excellent stickwork of
those two clever chaps the Cubs would
have met certain defeat, as none of the
other champs contributed in any way
to Chicago's score. Reulbach helped
win by holding the Reds to two hits
but from the aggressive side there was
nothing to it but James and John.
Slagle soaked the ball three healthy
blows and walked once. Evers drove
him home twice with clean hits. Once
Slagle was forced out at third by
Schultz, but the other time up he
walked and scored the winning run
all the way from first when Pitcher
Rowan fired the ball into the grand
stand trying to catch the nimble rab-
bit off first.

TIGERS ARE tanned.

Detroit, Sept. S.-With their ancient
Jonah, Doc White, on the slab, the
Tigers were a somewhat subdued out
fit today and were handily beaten by
the White Sox, 5 to 2 being the figures.
The game was rather listless affair,
the Sox, who by grabbing this one
could get back within striking dis
lance of the leaders, having about all
the pepper that was shown, and then
not being as kittenish as they usually
are when on the local lot. Too much
holiday making namely, hurry-up
jumps and double heading-appeared to
have had its effect on both outfits
Apart from some very persistent
clouting by Freddie Parent, who got
three safeties and narrowly escaped
another it was an absolutely feature
less afternoon. Neither side had had
any opportunity for anything spectacu-
lar, and going through the game look
ed like doing a days work.

San Francisco. Sept. s.-Joe Cans
and Battling Nelson will clash for the
third time tomorrow afternoon in Jim
NY Coffroth's arena for the lightweight
championship of the world.
In spite of the fact that pretty close
to $4,000 was expended by spectators
who witnessed the Attell- Moran go of
yesterday, 1t is likely that a TREMENDOUS
house will see the coming battle. In
terest runs far higher than in the
featherweight contest of yesterday.
There is just one point where mat
ter of doubt exists-this is the condi-
tfon of Cans and the peculiar state OF
betting affairs. The men who used to
get down heavily in the days of the
old fight trust regime are backing
Cans whenever they can get their
money covered. But to the time OF
writing comparatively small sums have
been wagered.
