The start was made from Bakers- field on schedule time. During its trip through the valley the speclal train| was laden with flowers and fruit and the merchants feasted on oranges and grape | | fruit and inhaled the sweet odors of orange blossoms while they rode along | comfortably in view of the snowy sum- | mits of the high Sierra. Andrea Sbarboro, i the sire and spokesman for the San Fran- | cisco party, was particularly happy in the | speeches, in which he conveyed to all communities where stops were made the significance of the visit of the San Fran- | ciscans. He dwelt upon the formation of the promotion committee at San Francis- co and urged the people of the interior to put themselves into constant communi- | cation with that body. At Porterville, where the first stop was made, Sbarboro said: “We of San Francisco desire to make California known not only to the Eastern States of our own country, but to the en- tire world.” This was the substance of his text to all hearers. The people of the interior met nim and tke delegation cordially and en- | thusiastically, showing that they thor- cughly understood the situation. FLOWERS FOR EVERY ONE. Early in the day every San Franciscan San Joaquin Valley in connec- | was decked with flowers. Cary Fried- lander sported sweet peas, Charles Bund- schu had roses; Varney Gaskill was red- | olent with orange blossoms; Rufus Jen- | nings had a garland on a sky-blue hat | that he picked up at Bakersfield, and the | combination made him look like a flower garden; Walter Castle carried a bunch | of roses as large as a cabbage; Sanford | | Bennett had a branch of Porterville grape | truit in tow: Albert Meyer sported | | oranges on twigs; President Symmes of | the gderchanls' Association reveled in sweet peas. There were rides among orange or- | chards and along well kept streets, feast- | ing and music and the sound of cheerin; everywhere to lend variety, spice Yan jezest to the day. Hixson, division freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Company, went to Bakersfield to greet the visitors in advance on behalf of Fresno. He res turned with the special train. The first stop was at Porterville. A re- lfeptlon committee, consisting of the fol- lcwing, met the train on behalf of Porter- | ville’s Board of Trade: W. Mentz, chair- | man; Robert Baker, R. Bradley, 'A. G. Schulz, Dr. O. C. Higgins, A. S. Mapes, | B. L. Scott, C. A. Nieman, M. J. Mur- | phy, A. M. Lumley, Fred Ackerman, J. ‘W. Lloyd, J. W. Davis, J. N. Larson, | George D. A\'erg, A. J.

Leslie | and W. H. Norris; committee on band, V. D. Knupp and H. F. Brey; committee on ; oranges, J. H. James. 1 VISIT ORANGE ORCHARD. | 'They escorted the visitors to the Pio- neer Hotel. There a brass band composed entirely of High School cadets gave musi- cal welcome. There were fresh Porter-o ville strawberries and loads of Porter- ville's luscious citrus fruits to receive at- tention. Attorney Boller made a neat speech "of welcome. Sbarboro responded. he High School cadet band played. The San Francisces cheered Attorney Boller, | the Portervils Board of Trade, the cadet band and the ladies. The latter decorated the cars with flowers and boxes of | oranges were placed in every coach. The | people provided carriages and the excur- | slonists visited the orange orchards of iGeor;e T. Frost, Joseph Carter, A. G. Schutz, James Wilson, H.'F. Brey, J. H. Willlams, Dr. J. L. Hardeman, John Hil- ton and W. N. Henry. C. , J. Lindsay was the next stoppin lace. This was not on the itinerary, shuré the Board of Trade and the ladies of Lindsay united in decking the railway station with flowers and palms from base to roof, and | Hixson had the train stop as a tribute to ]thelr enterprise. Sire Sgarburo made a speech. President C. J. Carle and H, W Dockerman of the Lindsay Board of | Trade greeted the excursionists... The la- dies distributed flowers and oranges grown at Lindsay. There were no ceremonies in Visalla, no speech-making and no reception. The San Franciscans marched up the business streets in twos and looked at the business buildings and the courthouse. Some days ago the following committee on rece tion was appointed by President S. Mitoh- ell of the Board of Trade: A. G. Wishon, Ben M. Maddox, W. H. Gilstrap, A, M. Doty, Adolph Levis, William Kettner, W. R. Spalding. D. G. Overall, J. H. Mc- Kie, J. M. Boynton, F. W. Mixter, L. N. Wood, H. 8. Goldstein, C. J. Gidding: W. G. Dozier, W. St. J. Caudron and John F. Jordan. hey did not make their presence known. LADIES BRING SWEET PEAS. At Goshen Junction the train was stopped to receive a delegation of charme. ing ladies young from Tulare, brought sweet peas for boutonnieres, \grlkt'fl i badges. They were accompanied by B F. Woods of the Tulare Board of £ Again the merchants showed thel?éfii lantry by cheering the ladies repeatedly.

The visitors were ecscorted | through the town, the glee club of the ' San Franciscans singing plantation melo- | dtes. ! Linders Park was visited. Finally the 8an Franciscans were photographed in a group at the station, with the decorated train for a backsround.

When the train rolled into the station the people of Hanford and | the Grand Army veterans, with a band, were drawn up on the platform. They tendered an escort to the merchants and marched with them to a grove, passing through the business streets of Hanford. In the grove Commander McCord of Mc- Pherson Post of the Grand Army called the gathering to order, District Attorney Rower Irwin made & speech, in which he said to the San Franciscans: “Our interests are your interests and your interests are ours. We want your support.” Fl‘).pJ. Symmes spoke of the work which San Francisco had undertaken. He also referred to the Grand Army veterans so feeiingly that he drew tears to the eyes of some of them. Hon. H. G. Casper said: “There is but one Urited States and but one California. The San Joaquin Valley is the heart of California.” ‘Andrea Sbarboro spoke of the promo- tion cemmittee and its purposes. Some laughter was caused when Symmes, alluding to the tour of the mer- chants, sald, “We Vl'slted Visalia and in- ted the pavements.” !plggflo L. Capse, the drummer boy of Shi- 1oh, was called for and beat the roll. The Grand Army veterans escorted the mer- chants to thelr cars and the train de- parted amid cheers all along the line. CLASP HANDS WITH FRESNO.| The climax of the day’s festivities was | reached in Fresno, when Andrea Sbar- boro, in behalf of the business men of San Francisco, standing with outstretched hand, clasping_the right hand of Mayor Stephens of Fresno, while the business men of the two cities vied with one an- other in noisy approval of the sentiment and act, said: “We extend to you the embrace of San Francisco.” The San Franciscans and Fresno busi- | ness men had dined, the former as guests | of the latter; Mayor Ste}shens who_was | introduced by President Neu of the Fres- no Chamber of Commerce, had told of the realization by Fresno of the community of interest existing between San Francis- co and Fresno, had pointed out how Fresno was becoming the railroad center, | had described her resources and had men- | ticned her seasonable and rosy anticipa-! tions; the vocal strength of S8an Francisco had been exercised in songs and cheers and interest had steadily grown keener. Then, just as the dinner was about to come'to an end, Sbarboro had an inspira- tion. He suilted the crowd to a nicety, The volume of shouting increased and| continued some time. Nice things _wero{‘ sald by President Neu and Mayor Steph- ens about San Francisco. They hoped for the greatness of San Francisco and pre- | dicted its future. The San Franciscans were welcomed on their arrival from Hanford by a large delegation of Fresno’s business men, all of whom are members of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce. Among them were Messrs. Marshall, Olney, Renny, Mallorell, Swift, Levy, Porter, President Neu, Fuiton G. Berry, Mayor Stephens, Louls Eipstein, A. L. Redlick, Eugene | Emith, W. L. Lvon, E. E. Manheim, W. J. Uridge, E. F.

CEREALS OR MEAT. A Prepared Food Helps to Solve the Problem of Good Living. PRICES OF MEAT GO UP. t ““While the avérage housekeeper may be ignorant as to whether a beef trust has | been formed or whether the increase in | the price of meat is due to other causes, | if she is a woman of moderate means she | has become convinced that she must turn | to something except animal food for the main fare of her family,” says the Buf- falo Express. “It is not an entirely new thing, this advance in the price of meats, and it is | even rumored that prices have not yet | reached their 1imit, but certain it is that | the cost of living for the average family has increased rapidly of late, until meat | has become an article of diet that must | niecessarily be ellminated from the dally | fare of the very poor and has become al- | most a luxury even to those who have a | moderate and usually adequate amount to spend upon the family food. “To-day domestic sclence and public opinion have joined in teaching an im- ! portant lesson to rich and poor alike, the -necessity of consuming body-building food, supplying material that will keep nerves, muscles, bones, flesh and brain n the proper condition, feeding into-the human engine the fuel needed to make good the constant waste.” | A food expert at Battle- Creek, Mich., | has produced a food especially intended ! to supply more nutriment than meat, fish or fowl, and that costs the consumer ' about one cent a meal. It is called | “Grape-Nuts,” and has more nourishment | for the body and greater strength and | vitality for the brain and nervous system, | | and is an economy that reduces the cost | of housekeeping to the minimum and at | the same time pleases the palate. Grape-Nuts is a condensed food, and ! about four teaspoonfuls with cream is. sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. It requires no cooking or preparation of ! any kind, and is ready for immediate use | and suited to the laborer, athlete, brain | worker, epicure and invalid. i One pound of Grape-Nuts contains more nourishment—that the system will absorb —than ten pounds of meat. An experiment was tried by a man who found that by leaving off meat altogether at breakfast | and lunch and taking in its place four ! heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts he began to gain flesh and strength, and be- fore the full pound package was gone had gained four pounds in weight, whereas he had been losing on his meat diet. Present conditions, therefore, regarding the price of meat are solved to the family provider by supplying Grape-Nuts to the individuals of her household—a food that not only recommends itself by its econ- omy and pleasant taste, but by its health- | sustaining properties and its ability to ' build up Habby muscles, restore color to the cheek, brightness to the eye and re- place the daily loss occasioned by brain and nervous work. A package of Grape-Nuts costs 15 cents and mekes fourteen meals. All grocers.

TERATAGIR WASHINGTON, May 10.—As a result of numerous conferences between Democrat- fc Senators and Representatives it ig ex- pected that a measure on the present status of the Philippines will be agreed on by the minerity in both houses and introduced in each house as a Democratic substitute for the Philippine civil govern- ment bill. It was stated to-day by one of the con- ferees that although the meetings are still in progress a general understanding has been reached on certain main features of concession on each side. The House members objected to the Democratic measure in the Senate, which provides for a joint protectorate over tne Philippines by the United States, Great Britain, Ger- many and other countries entering into treaty agreement for such protectorate It is understood that this provision will be_eliminated or much modified. On the other hand the Senators objected to the House provision imposing a consti- tution on the Philippines during a period preceding ndependence. This provision also will be modified. In other respeets the joint Philippine bill will combine the main features of the Democratic bills in the Senate and House providing for ulti- mate independence of the Philippines. The new measure has not yet been drafted, however, so that its detafls cannot be given. Private Willilam J. Gibbs, Ninth Infan- try, continued his testimony before the Fhflippine Committee to-day, giving ad- ditional detalis about the Salingiga af- fair. He said he had never seen the water cure administered, but had heard the groans of victims. He heara of one death as a result of the cure. Dirty water and salt water were used for the cure, which was generally administered by scouts. Gibbs said the Filipino women were very virtuous. Filipino prisoners and the sick were treated well, as were the peaceful natives generally. The orders were to treat them with kindness. George J. Boardman, formerly of the Twenueth Infantry, said he had never witnessed but one instance ¢f water cure. He told how the natives wéuld open fire on the, Americans and conceal their’guns when the soldlers approached and claim to be friendly. He also related the ecir- cumstances of the murder of a Filipino boy by natives because he was friendly to the Americans. The witness also told of the conduct of natives with guns, say- would fire at the soldiers, and that when the latter approached they would conceal their weapons and greet them pleasantly. In one instance of this kind a Filipino party had been taken into custody and the place of the concealment of their guns was secured by taking (he men, one at a time, and firing off a gun after threatening them with death in the hearing of the entire party. None of taem were hurt, but the proceeding had the effect of so frightening those left behind that a confession was secured. Meets Death in Blazing Hotel.

TEXAN OBJEETS T0 AN EMBAGSY Senator Bailey Has Some Words on Edward’s Coronation. WASHINGTON, May 10.—A lively de- bate in the Senate to-day upon an amend- ment to the army appropriation bill of- fered by Bailey of Texas, providing that part of the appropriation made by the measure should be used in defraying the expenses of the special embassy to_the goronation of King Edward VII of Eng- land. Bailey contended that the United States should not send a special Embassador to the, coronation of England’'s King or to the coronation of any ruier when the country thus honored did not extend & like courtesy to the United States on the inauguration of a President. After com- siderable discussion the amendment was withdrawn and the bill was passed. Subsequently Bailey offered a resolution, which will be considered later, covering the point mentioned in his amendment. he House to-day transacted some minor business, Including the passage of a resolution to print the 500 copies of the Jefferson Bible, and then laid aside publio business to pay tribute to the memories of the late Repr tative Rufus K.
