Potted palms, always reliable and effective, were used with effect and discretion. lined the hallways and grand staircases and were distributed with impartiality throughout the chambers that were placed at the disposal of the guests. In the Senate chamber and the sanctum of the Assemblymen the decorator put forth his noblest efforts, and if he did not altogether cover himself with glory, suc- ceeded in hiding the walls of both rooms with countless yards of colored bunting. The colors of old Castile struck the key not in the Sepate chamber. There were rumors_that the Governor, In a burst of sympathy and pride- mpathy for the oppressed Philippines and pride in the policy of expansion—suggested the yellow and red effects; but it is more than pos- sible that the mural tintings (red and gold) were accountable for the blending of the Spanish colors. At any rate, the yellow and red made an effective decora- tion, the brightness of which did much to lessen the systematic and geometrical arrangement of the bunting. The streamers festooned the gallery rail and draped the high windows. of smilax accentuated the festooning, from regular intervals of which depended a line of greenery supporting a pendant basket of ferns. In front of the pr dent’s desk was a platform converted t means of potted plants into a miniature forest. Here the musicians were con- cealed, and their sweet strains came float- ing as from the depths of a thickly wood- ed sylvan glade. | Over the president’s desk and the arch- | way of the main entrance Old Glory float- ed, surmounted by the bird of freedom. In the corner were “little cozy nooks,” corners for confidential chats and the exchange of telitale glances. Colored | globes capped the great chandeliers, shed- | ding over the entire scene a soft, beauti- | fying light. . In the Assembly room the same flare of decorations prevailed, with the excep- | tion that pink and green were the pre- | vailing colors. The unevenness of the pink and the natural antipathy of the green of the decorations and the emerald tints of the hangings in the chamber gave a pretty effect to the ensemble. At the banquet board no effort as made to achieve the artistic, and primitive arrangements prevailed. The service was clean and comfortable. The tumblers held full measure of icewater and economy was not apparent in the coffee cups. As | far as comfort, everything was done to take care of the guests. The dressing rooms were comfortable and well lighted and mirrors were placed in every conceiv- able place. The illumination of the entire Capitol lent to the whole that festive ap- pearance that even the lack of champagne could not d IMPORTANT BILLS FOR SAN FRANCISCO Senator Braunhart Is Looking Aiter the Water Front and the Schools. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- is the hour set for the first introductio: of Dills In the Senate and nearly every member has a trunkful of proposed laws of every concelvable description which they purpose to present at the very earliest opportunity. Senator Braunhart of San Franecisco They | Cordons | MENTO, Jan. 9.—Two o'clock to-morrow | among other bills, two measures| | inroads made upon piles by the teredo are such that no wharf under present can conditions last for more than five s present an authorized | expendjture of 36500 a month or there- abouts for urgent repairs alone, to say nothing of the vast amount expended by contract to keep the wharves, plers and docks in fair condition. The extension of the seawall along the entire water front will obviate in a great measure this expenditure, and the money now de- voted to repairs can ultimately be used for the copsiruction of a belt road along the entire er front over the thorough- fare to be created. “Such a seawall and belt road would be a yast saving to the commerce of the port, besides enabling the Harbor Com- missioncrs to reduce the charges for tolls and practically making San Fran- cisco a free port.” The bonds will bear 6 per cent interest and will cover a period of forty years. The funds for the redemption of the bonds and the pavment of the interest thereon re to be set aside monthly from the re- eipts and placed in the harbor improve- ment_fund, thus creating a sinking fund for the purpose. None of the money to be used for the work is to come out of any State fund to be drawn from the treasury in any manner, so that the con- struction of the improvements will be without cost to the taxpayers. Senator Braunhart introduced a similar bill at the last session, but -it failed through a pocket veto at the hands of Governor Budd. The Governor gave as his reason for not signing it that the bill provided for the publication of the pro- posed act in two ne\\'sfi;\pcrs in each | county of the State, making the expense | of advertising altogether too great. | Braunhart has overcome that objection by providing in the present measure that | it shall be published only In the San | “rancisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Fres- no and Los Angeles papers, and hopes thereby to have it recelve the executive t meas- indorsement now.

LONDON, Jan. 9.—The Vienna corre- | spondent of the Times says: The delay | on the part of Austria-Hungary in raising | the legation in Washington to an embassy | has probably been largely due to finan- | clal considerations and to the fact that | Austria-Hungary has had smaller inter. | ests in the United States than the other powers. The recent accentuation of | the American foreign policy has undoubt- | edly counted for something in the mat. | ter. | | Prior to the war the tendency was to re- ‘ | gard the United States as incapable of | | expansion, owing to the impression that | their naval resources were insufficient, | The achievements of the American war- ships against Spain so surprised people— | | | | | | | | | lic institutions in various | and the safe blown open with ex- plosives, The robbery was evidently the work of professionals, who entered and left the town on a railway hand- car.
