Some minutes elapsed before the

within doors and set about making tho
best preparations he could for his ma

He summoned the entire stafI OF
servants, and, distributing sufficient
iargesse among them to give them a
little better impression II his auto
cratic self. he followed up his gifts by
demanding the very best luncheon
that the pavilion could supply.
Fortunately the housekeeper, who
had been left In charge, had under

shalled in the pavilion, with instruc-
tions that they were TO be upon the
stepS TO receive the emperor when the
emperor came.
From the stables Strong ordered n
couple OF horses, and as l o'clock
drew near he mounted one OF them
and ordered Arbuthnot TO take the
other. Then together the two men
trotted down TO the gates OF the park.

been offered to him. Strong had de-

The emperor evidently intended 10

MERCHANT MARINE LEAGUE
and HAWAII.

While some of the people of this
city are agitating for a movement
that the b II ! et in believes will
assist in driving the American flag
and American merchant ships from
the ocean, II is of Importance that
some attention should be given what
is being done on the mainland
The recent mail from the coast
brought valuable information in
this line.
First, the news columns of the San
Francisco press record the meeting
of the California Shipping Company
formerly operating one Of the largest
fleets of American sailing vessels, at
which 1t was decided that the COM
pany go out of business. What re-
mains of the once splendid fleet OF
thirty two vessels are laid up.
Secondly, under the heading Put
the American Flag on the Ocean, the
Slogan" most interesting state
ment is given OF what is being done
by the executive committee of the
Eewly formed Merchant Marine
League of California. This league
was the direct result of the visit to
the Pacific coast of John Penton, sec
! rotary of the Merchant Marine
League of the United States, and on
the list of officers appears such names
as Frank b. Anderson, Capt. John
Barneson. r. p. Schwerin. C. G.
Moore, James. Rolph, Jr., James Nc
Nab. George w. Dickie and other
prominent men of San Francisco.
The first meeting of this California
League was not spent in suggesting
measures that will give the foreign
ship owners stronger hold on any
part of the carrying trade of any
ocean. The men have organized to
| support American shipping, build up
the American merchant marine and
secure action from Congress.
A resolution was adopted indors-
Ing the Humphrey bill now before
Congress, which aims at modifying
the postal act of 1891 in an effort
toward restoring the Stars and
Stripes to position over our foreign
trade, and approving the terms of a
circular drawn up by George W.
Dickie, chairman of the executive
committee, which is to be addressed
to every chamber of commerce and
commercial body in California, urg-
! ing support in the great movement
which Is being inaugurated.
4 The circular, after reciting the
events which led up to the formation
of the Merchant Marine League OF
California and showing how the
Stars and Stripes have almost disap-
leared from the ocean, urges the
great necessity OF creating as soon
