Sequoia Parlor's band fur- nished the music by which the men marched, and was followed by Sequoia Parlor No. 160, Alealde Parlor No. 154, South San Francisco Parlor No. 157, Olympus Parlor No. 189 and Presidio Parlor No. 194, There was but little attempt at dis- play. The light suits which will brighten the parade at San Jose were snugly packed in dress suit cases. All that was left were the distinguishing regalia of the members. The one excention to this was a drill corps attached to one of the parlors. The members wore a uniform of white duck trousers and blue cap and coat. In the course of the parade the mem- bers, mostly youths, formed various crosses and stars. Fach member was | equipped witha torch, thus markingthe | evolution of the corps, a brilliant feat- ure of the parade. The line of march was on Mason street to Market, to Third, and thence to the depot, at Townsend street. The! streets were thronged with spectators, | who cheered lustily for the boys in | line.

Arriving at the depot the marching hosts boarded the awaliting trains at once. There was the-inevitable delay, but finally the last train was dispatehe | ed and the stillness of night settled down upon roundings. NATIVE DAUGHTERS WITH THE THRONG They Capture the Big fpecial Train and the Hearts of All Within It. There was one part of the celebration, a great part, possibly and, to be cour- teous, the greatest part, that was not a part of the procession. The Native Daughters were every- where, everybody and everything, and what would the 9th of September be without them? They did not assemble around Native the depot and its sur- | Sons’ Hall on Mason street; their pretty heads are not worried over the arrange- ments for the parade, but etill it may be said they are the feature. The train was scheduled to leawe at 9 o'clock. The Native Sons were sched- uled to arrive at the Third-and-Town- send-street station a full quarter of an hour before that. They got there on time, but found their territory dis- puted. 4 Long before the hour the waiting- room, passageways and in fact all avallable space was occupied by the happy-faced, laughing, free-hearted daughters of the Golden West. The last man of the column finally Dpassed through the big gates of the depot and Sergeant Michael Joseph Conboy heaved a sigh of relief and walked away. That was the end of things so far as San Francisco is con- cerned, but that end was only the be- ginning. REMOVAL OF LI HUNG CHANG CONFIRMED LONDON, Sept. 8.—A dispatch has been received from the British Minister at Peking, Sir Claude Macdonald, con- firming the report that Li Hung Chang has been dismissed at his request. A private telegram just received here confirms the statement made in a dis- patch from. Peking yesterday that Li Hung Chang has' been dismissed from the Chinese foreign office. But, the dis- patch adds, “it is pointed out here (at Peking) that this does not necessarily mean that he has been deprived of ail power.” RECEPTION OF VISITING PARLORS Parade to the Depots to Greet Incomers. GOOD WORK OF COMMITTEES NATIVE SONS AND DAUGHTERS ‘WHO DESERVE CREDIT. Hard Work of the San Joseans Which Insured the Success of the Great Admission Day Celebration. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 8.—Palo Alto Ob- servatory and San Jose parlors tri- umphantly paraded the streets to-night on the way to the depot to welcome the thousands of Native Sons and Daughters who have come to celebrate the forty-eighth anniversary of Call- fornia’s statehood. They were recip- ients of congratulations on all sides on the successful manner in which they had handled the preparations for the celebration. For the past few months they have been hard at work, and things have gone on without a hitch until now the greatest celebration of the kind in the history of the State is in progress. Marches of the local parlors with music preparatory to the coming of the hosts enlivened the evening and did much to entertain the people until the arrival of the visiting parlors. Stock- ton Parlor was met at the broad gauge depot about 8 o’clock, and at 10 the parlors separated and went to both the broad and narrow gauge depots to re- celve parlors from the bay counties. W.A. Gaston was grand marshal of both of these processions. The follow- ing named prominent Native Sons were seen In line: T. C. Hogan, H. M. N. Spring, J. 8. Williams, I. L.

AND DAUGHTERS “ % (OF CALIFORNIA Continued from First Page. one of them was united to a huge ex- terision basket containing that en- trancing costume she is to wear in the big parade to-morrow, and even though she lost her escort no {ll must befall that basket. Bravely the girls struggled along through the crowd vainly seeking her comrades. Perspir- ing standard-bearers searched for their fellows who had strayed from their banners, and failing to find them fell in with the first crowd that happened along and marched contentedly to his haven of rest. Finally, with the assistance of a dozen mounted aids, who dashed reck- lessly through th choked streets, heedless of the lives of men and women, the San Jose parlors managed to reach the head of the procession, and by the time Santa Clara avenue was reached some semblance of order was effected. That is, the parlors had fallen into line, so that the doubling up of organizations was overcome. Under the beautiful {lluminated tow- er, Third street to San Fernando, back to First past the St. James and to the ‘Vendome, the procession or part of it marched, At almost every corner a fragment would break off and start on a little parade of its own, having no particular objective point in view; but just celebrating. Nobody could under- stand why they were escorted to their headquarters; they did not want to turn in. What they. wanted was fun, and it was easy to be found. If there is any person in San Jose to- night who has any fault to find with the Natlives, their reception and the ef- forts of the citizens to entertain them that person ought to have his digestive organs attended to at once. It is not the fault of San Joseans that there are not beds enough in town to go around. San Jose expected and was prepared to house 12,000 or 15,600 visitors, all it had reason to expect wquld attend the celebration. But San Jose hospitality has extend- ed further than her people knew, and so when 20,000 guests from all parts of the State came tumbling in to-day there could only be one result—some had to continue their fun until morning in lieu of sleeping. .The great event of the celebration, however, will come to-day with the big parade, and while it will be watch- ed by some eyes that are heavy no- body here will miss it. After the parade visits and receptions will be in order until night, when the grand ball in the pavilion will be held with informal dances in nearly every headquarters for the accommodation .of those who will be unable to force their way into the big affair. Then there will be more street parading, singing, shouting and all the accompanying racket, in fact it will be a repetition of to-night, for nobody will think of going home before Sunday. VARIOUS PARLORS TO HOLD RECEPTIONS Annual Reunions Are Becoming In- teresting ' Features of the * Celebration. - SAN JOSE, Sept. 8. —To-morrow vari- ous parlors will hold receptions at their headquarters and Native Sons and become acquainted with each other. This annual reunion has become one of the features of Admission day, and each year the custom meets with greater fa- vor. Old pioneers drop in at these gatherings and spin yarns of the days of "49. The choicest of eatables and viands are served and the greatest cheer prevails. About forty parlors of Native Suns and Daughters will thus entertain, and in many instances dances will be given in the evening. Different headquarters to-night pre- sented .animated scenes and gave evi- dences of preparation for much pleas- ure to-morrow. At the Hotel Vendome there were greater numbers than else- where. Here Stanford No. 76, Oakland No. 50, Alameda No. 47, Athens No. 165 and Yerba Buena No. 84 are located and they will entertain lavishly for the next three days. Other parlors have estab- lished headquarters as follows: Rincon No. .2—Y. M. 1. Hall, Market and San Fernando. San Francisco No. 49—Library Hall, Santa Clara near Third. Pacific No. 10 and Ofo Fino, N. 8. G. W.—Germania Hall, Second, between Santa Clara and San Fernando. Stockton No. 7 and San Joaquin No. 5, N. D. G. W.—L O. O. F. Hall, Third and Santa Clara. .

PROMINENT MEN ATTEND THE RALLY Native Sons Who Always Partici- pate-in Admission Day Celebrations. SAN JOSE, Sept. 8.—Among many others arriving to-night on the San Francisco special were William Blatt- ner, James Gallagher, James O'Gara, Percy Long, Judge Conlan, William A. Deane, W. H. Alford, Judge Kerrigan, Joseph O’Donnell, J. J. Jameson, Mayor Phelan, Danlel Ryan and Judge Con- ley, candidate for Justice of the Su- preme Court on the fusion ticket. Dr. Pardee of Oakland, who always attends the Native Sons’ celebration of Admission day, is agreeably sheltered at the Vendome Hotel, where many of the Alameda representatives are so- journing. George Houghton, regent of the State University, is in San Jose to- night. Judge ' Mogan and G. Blodes are also in the throng of visitors. The journey hither of the specials running on either side of the bay was without incident other than entertain- ment, such as singing, music and con-~ vivial greeting. While many politi- cians are here, there are no signs of political demonstration. Candidates in the field and aspiring gentlemen who expect to be called forth to serve the public are keeping in touch with the progressive young men comprising the order of Native Sons' of the Golden West. Among the noted guests of the occa- sion is Judge Coffey of San Francisco, who was turned down by the Maguire convention at Sacramento. At this hour (1 a. m., Admission day) there is some inclination among the youngsters to shout for a favorite candidate. Some rousing cheers are given for Al John- son of Sacramento, but the demonstra- tion is not encouraged by the Native Sons. Among the prominent Oakland- ers here are R. M. Fitzgerald, Henry Daughters from all over the State will | Dalton and John McDonald. - MANY VISITORS WHO WILL NOT HAVE LODGING Unlucky but Ha ppy Ones to Pa- rade the Streets dll Night. There Is a Welcome for All, However, and Every Ope Will Be Repaid for Waiting for the Big Parade. SAN JOSE, Sept. 8—The grand pa- rade for rooms began with the arrival of the 7 p. m. train from San Fran- cisco, and it is calculated that it will keep moving for thirty-six consecutive hours. In other words, there are a whole lot of people here now—and more are coming—who will have to try to forget about beds and sleep and all that sort of thing until they get back home. The man who was careful and se- cured a room a week or two in advance is an object of veneration among his less provident fellows. They lift their hats to him and talk in whispers of his large mental caliber and about his availability for Congress, and in other ways give expression to his worth as a citizen. The ladies! Well, it is some- what different with them. Take those of the fair daughters of the State, for instance, who have planned this trip with their brothers for weeks and came in to-day to be escorted to a “first floor front” by an obsequious attendant. Now, those girls are not venerated by their less happily situated sisters who only decided to come at the last min- ute and jumped aboard the train this afternoon to avoid the rush and get comfortably settled before the jam got here. Oh, no. There is no talk of po- litical or other honors for them. On the contrary, they are made to feel that they have taken an unfair advantage of the others; sort of played a low down game, as it were, and when they pass, instead of respectful salutes they get a cold shoulder and same real hate- ful side remarks. All the hotels are brimming over; every lodging house has put cots on the roof and run up fire escapes for the convenience of those guests occupying the sky floor; private ’umilies have been called upon to shelter visitors un- til the residents themselves have been driven to the attics. Still they come and will continue to come all night and to-morrow fore- noon. And with all the uproar and jostling and bustling fan Jose is happy, for the Native Sons and Daughters are always honored guests whom the townspeople delight to honor and are willing to sub- mit to any amount of inconvenience for their sakes. Everybody was out to welcome the Stockton parlors, which were scheduled to arrive at 6:45 p. m., but did not get in till long after that hour. Gorgeously bebadged the local Natives, accom- panied by a band of music (none of the musicians being consumptives) and everybody in town were at the depot to greet the Slough City delegation, and a warm reception the pilgrims were accorded. The members themselves and some of their friends had engaged rooms in advance, but—there were others—and so while the reception com- mittee and the band and the populace escorted their guests through the prin- cipal streets there were some who joined that other procession and in- vaded the side streets and alleys searching for a ‘room to let.” sign. Such an inscription that did not lie would have brought more joy than an emblazoned passage of holy writ; it was more difficult to find than an hon- est politician training under Jim Rea's standard. After the Stocktonians had been housed, or such of them as had lodg- ings to go to, the crowds thronged the streets, passing the time pending the | arrival of the special trains from San Francisco and Oakland viewing the street decorations and overwhelming the icecream parlors. San Jose has outdone herself in the matter of decorations. The whole city. is a-flutter with bright-hued bunting, while the business houses and public buildings are brilliant in their plumage. The finest effort in the way of decorat- ing is the electric light tower on Santa Clara avenue. That graceful, almost | fairy-like structure, towering 150 feet above the driveway it spans, has been festooned with a myriad of arc lights, along the four corner shafts and the center column. To-night the lamps were lighted for the first time, present- ing an indescribably beautiful night picture. Everybody gazed at it spell- bound; even the shelterless unfortu- nates, to whom there is little left in the world that is bright and beautiful, could not help admiring the scene, though their admiration was tinctured with malice, for they made unkind re- marks about the lack of foresight on the part of the committee in not string. ing up cots instead of arc lights. SONS AND DAUGHTERS FROM SLOUGH CITY Arrival of the Stockton Delegation and Its Reception by Local Parlors. SAN JOSE, Sept. 8.—The Stockton del~ egation was the first to :rrive this evening. The train was nearly an hour late, and immense crowds were pres- ent to greet the guests from the Slough City. The delegation was made up of members of Stockton Parlor of Native Sons No. 7 and Joaquin Parlor of Na- tive Daughters No. 6. There were about ninety in the party, of which number thirty were ladies. They brought a band of twenty pieces with them. Lo- cal parlors with music met the visitors at the depot and escorted them through the streets to their headquar-, ters in the Odd Fellows’ building. The Stocktonians carried a large gilded seven as the insignia of the number of their lodge, while other members bore bronze picks and shovels as reminders of pionger days. The officers of Stockton Parlor are: Past president, C. E. Manthey; presi- dent, W. E. O'Connor; first vice presi- dent, Otto Kopplitz; second vice presi- dent, F. Lieginger; third vice president, ‘W. H. Knowles; recording secretary, A. J. Turner; financial secretary, James Sharon; treasurer, W. Newmiller; mar- shal, W. Hosmer; inside sentinel, A. .:twood; outside sentinel, H. C. W. Ba- er. The Joaquin Parlor, Native Daugh- ters, officials are: Past president, Mrs. M. Manthey; president, Mrs. M.
