The President’s train_ arrived later than th€ time scheduled. It was at exact- ly 356 that the delorated locomotive rounded the curve leading to the Third and Townsend street depot and at once the cheering was started by the crowds. In another minute the train was at rest and the reception committee made for the car “Olympia” in the rear of the train.

In three minutes after the arrival of the train the President started for the street, walking with Mayor Phelan and Henry T. Scott. As he entered into view and walked to the walting carriage a deafening cheer went up from all sides. With hat in hand, the President acknowledged the salute and his face was wreathed In | smiles. Mayor Phelan followed the Presi- dent tnto the carriage and sat beside him, while Henry T. Scott sat on the opposite seat, Five minutes were occupied in escorting the Cabinet Ministers to the car- | rlages designated for them and then the ids darted from corner o cor- | and the police mar- | rmy formed in line on | orded Governor | fic S dron, together with his aids, | word was given for the parade to begin.

PICTURESQUE STREET CROWDS Motley Throngs Gather on Kearny and Mont- gomery. Never since the ‘‘water came up to Montgomery street,” away back in the days when San Francisco had not attained to the dignity of a black spot on a yellow map, was there a more representative and cosmopolitan crowd assembled on that thoroughfare, The same may likewlse 5aid of Kearny street.

It was the latter day development of prosperity. Montgomery street was sedate. Kearny street was joyous and vociferous. There was less decoration on the buildings of the former thoroughfare. There seemed to be a mcre conservative condition or sen- rvading the crowd. It was more ke a “Chautauqua salute” than the lusty ‘“three cheers and a tiger™ that marks a political - assemblage. But there was no political feeling in the crowd on either street. They were all there to honor the President of the ration, From the curb to housetop flags waved, and childish trebles mingled with the voices of their elders.

AN FRANCISCO has covered itself with glory. Never in the history of the city has there been witnessed so enor- mous an outpouring of people as was seen yesterday on the streets—every man. woman and child of the multitude being there for the purpose of honoring Willlam McKinley, President of the United States. From the moment the President left the depot at Third and Townsend streets un- til he entered the Scott residence, three hours later, he was accorded an ovation such as seldom falls to the lot of man or weman, For hours the people waited pa- tlently to see the head of the greatest re- public of the world, and when he came in sight the cheering drowned the strains of martial music of the bands.and the rumble of artillery over the stones. At the railroad depot thousands congre- gated to see the President arrive. Third street to Market street was a mass of hu- 4 tion. Once when the President saw an old woman sitting in an_ invalid’s chair in front of a dense crowd he rose in his carriage and waved his hand to her, caus- ing the people to cheer louder than ever. Children Receive Salutation. A workingman who greeted the Presi- dent _with “God bless you, Bill,” caused the President to smile and bow to the son of toll. The League of the Cross Cadets gave the President a rousing wel- come as he passed their armory. At St. Ignatius College on Van Ness avenue the steps of the building were crowded with gayly dressed ladies and they saluted the President with cheers and waving of dainty kercheifs. The President asked Mayor Phelan the name of the building and rose to his feet and bowed to those on the college steps. A group of orphans, drawn up on Van Ness avenue, was pointed out to the President. He saluted the little ones, who stared with open mouths in surprise at_tne distinction ac- corded them. When President McKinley left the reviewing stand and drove to his temporary home, knots of people cheered him as he passed along. To the credit of the many thousands who crowded the streets yesterday not a single case of dis- order was reported by the police. The President was heard to express his pleas- ure at the reception given him and in- formed Mayor Phelan that the Police De- partment was deserving of all pralse for the admirable manner in which the crowds were managed. “TAMALPAIS" FOR MRS.

On EXTREES . TWO FOP NOTHIN’ MISTER PRESIDENT” “COME AND HAVE A FREE SHAVE WITH ME .. K2 ! manity. Market street from Montgomery to Van Ness avenue was a sight to be- hold. Van Ness avenue held thousands of women and children, who desired to avcid the downtown crush, and the streets traversed by President McKinley were jemmed with humanity from the side- walks to the hoUse lines. It is estimated that 400,000 people witnessed the parade, the suburban towns being emptied of their residents, who came to view the grand spectacle. Waited Patiently for ‘Hours. Not a single happening marred the pleasure of the people. They walted pa- tiently for hours to see the President pass and gave the police officers but little trou- ble. The use of the wire ropes kept the roads perfectly clear and the procession had a clear right of way. The police offi- cers were considerate to every one and not a single instance was noted of rough- ness by the crowds. When the President started from the depot he was greeted with vociferous cheering on all sides until he reached the reviewing stand. *From the sidewalks, from windows and from roofs of houses a mighty sound of accla- mation went up. ‘Women cheered as lustily as their stern- er companions and thousands of boys and girls greeted their President and recelved his acknowledgment. There was not a break in the volume of welcome. It boomed out from the de- parture from the depot until the Presi- residence. In the downtown portion of the city, as well as in the residence dis- trict sidewalks were black with human- ity and windows held bevies of beauty. One of the President's officlal family said yesterday after the parade that San Francisco had given the President as great a welcome as that accorded him 'n Chicago, which tho President himself had declared was the most hearty he had ever known. For every one the President had a smile | and a friendly nod or bow. President Gets Enormous Ovation. As. the mighty shouts reached his ears the President waved his hat in acknowl- edgment to the crowds on the sidewalks and at the windows. In passing the big office_ bulldings downtown the President would look upward and wave his hand. His lips moved in accordance with his saluration angl seemed to say, “God bless you all.” » Flags and banners were waved from the sidewalks and windows and housetops as the chief executive passed along. The thousands only had eyes for the Presi- dent, the distinguished members of the Cabinet guslng almost unnoticed. Major General Shafter came in for hearty cheer- ine all along the line. The children seemed to attract the atten- tion of the President. Whenever a group of little ones hailed him with shrill shouts he would give them a special recogni- dent left the reviewing stand for the Scott | Thursday the great picture will be pre- sented to Mrs. McKinley by the ladies "MOVE UP, PLEASE, D MAKE ROOM écl;‘a THE PRESIDENT o+ il who constitute the various committees having in charge the great reception, as a souvenir of the club women of San Fran- cisco.

Van Epps has posted all the fish market men of Tacoma and Olympia to procure for him the larg- est Gooduck clams to be found on the Sound by the time of the arrival of the Presidential party. There is method in Mr. Van Epps’ request, as he desires to present a ten-pound-clam to Secretary Long and incidentally to “get back™ at the Massachusetts statesman when he ar- rives here. Mr. Van Epps met Mr. Long in 1880, when the present naval secretary was Governor of Massachusetts. Mr. Van Epps was naturally enthusiastic over Puget Sound and its resources. In a bantering way Governor Long and Mr. Van Epps told big stories of what Mas- sachusetts and Washington could produce as world beaters, and finally the Governor remarked: ‘“Well, there is one thing that we cer- tainly can beat Puget Sound on. We have the biggest clams on earth.” Mr. Van Epps could not at that time dispute the Governor, but the Olympian told him that if he ever came West he would show the Governor how poor the Massachusetts clam looked beside the Puget Sound article. And now the op- portunity is offered and Mr. Van Epps wil] present to Secretary Long the biggest génd(of a big Gooduck to make go his ast.
