| The following is an extract from the
| S. F. Bulletin. All along the line the
Congressional visitors have been the
recipients of rare privileges and cour-
tesies which will make their visit to
! Hawaii none the less memorable:
Bright skies and an air nicely tenn
pered by the rays of the sun greeted
the Congressional party visiting San
Francisco when it awakened this
morning in the quarters provided for
it at the Hotel st. Francis. The party
had arrived the evening of Sunday un-
der the escort of the presidents of the
leading civic bodies of the city who had
met and welcomed them at Benicia,
James McNab for the Chamber OF Com
merce, James Rolph Jr. for the Mer-
chants Exchange and A. M Davis for
the Merchants Association. The night
of rest after the long trip by rail was
duly appreciated, and all the more so
because the party had warning OF
busy day of sightseeing in San Fran
cisco and it's vicinity in store for it.
The visitors, who comprise twenty
three Congressman and sixteen cadets,
fell readily into the plans OF the local
committee, and breakfast had been dis
patched and the start made in motor
cars for the wharf at Clay street at
O'Clock, the appointed time. There
were accompanying them the mer-
chants who had greeted them at Be-
nicia, and at the pier when they ar
rived they met Senator Perkins and
their colleague from the Fourth Cali
fornia district, Congressman Kahn.
The courtesies of the port were extend
ed by Harbor Commissioners Teller,
Stafford and Dennison, and, half hour
after leaving the hotel, hosts and
guests had embarked on the steamer
Arrow, which had ben chartered by
the city civic organizations for the
purpose of providing the newcomers
with a view of the harbor.
The tour of the bay proved most in
teresting to the visitors. They saw
the great docks at Hunters point, and
on the way glimpsed the iron works,
where so many of the nations fighting
ships have been built They were
taken thence to see the naval training
station on Goat Island, from there TO
the new Government docks at Fort
Mason, and to the great naval coaling
station under construction at Cali
fornia city On the trip care was taken
to show the. Congressman the fleet OF
idle ships which merchants contend
would not be idle if the Government
did it's duty by the commercial inter-
ests of the country.
When the sights on the bay had been
seen and appreciated the Arrow
Strengthened out on it's course to the
navy yard at Mare Island. On the way
there luncheon, which had been proVid-
ed for by the Vallejo Chamber OF Com
merce and the Vallejo Merchants AS
ISOLATION, was served, and at 1890 the
! ward had been reached. An hour was
spent in inspecting the plant and +.
1870 the start was made on the return
to the city.
The party will arrive here at 3:3u
this afternoon and will be taken IN
autos for trip around the city, in or
der that the visitors may have Just
idea of what San Francisco has been
doing for herself in the three years
that have elapsed since the fire.
This evening a banquet will be given
, in honor of the delegation in the colo
NAL room of the Hotel st. Francis at
which the three commercial organiza-
tions before mentioned will be the
hosts. Tomorrow at 1 o'clock the
Congressman and their ladies VIII
