It is to be participated in by State and city officials, officers of the army and navy, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, other civic bodies, and the representatives of the Chinese empire here. The transport tug Slocum will take out the officials of the reception committee. This com- mittee will Include Professor J, W. Jenks, who represents President Roose~ velt; Governor Pardee, General S. S. Sumner and staff, General Funston and staff, Consul General Chung Pao-hsi, Vice Consul Owyang King, and General | Lauck and staff. This party will be the first to board the Siberia. Professor Jenks will then make the speech of welcome, as-” outlined by President Roosevelt. Following this will be a general introduction of the distin- guished visitors to the representatives who go to meet them. Members of the Chamber of Com- merce and other bodies will go out in the tug Golden Gate, and join in the reception. If the day is pleasant, the visitors will be taken off the Siberia, while she is lying at anchor off Melggs whart, and brought ashore on the tug Slocum. If, however, the day is stormy, they will remain on the liner until she comes up to her dock. At the dock they will be received by the represcntatives of the Chinese Six Com- panies and a big gathering of the leading Chinese merchants of this ecity. The procession through the streets from | the Pacific Mail dock up to the St. Fran- cis Hotel will be headed by an escort of mounted police, followed by the guests of honor and those who had come to bid them welcome. At the St. Francis everything has been placed in readiness to receive the visitors. Seventy-five of the most magnificent apartments in the hotel have been set aside for their reception. The rooms have all been decorated with palms and flow- ers, while the flags of America and China profusely decorate the walls. To-morrow night the visitors are to be banqueted by Consul Chung Pao-hsi and Vice Consul Owyang King in the white and gold room of the St. Francis. The entertainment will probably be one of the most gorgeous ever seen in the city. The hosts have given the hotel people carte blanche as to the arrange- ments and have ordered them to proceed on a scale of luxury and’ magnificence. The decorations for the great feast are now in progrese ana the event will un- doubtedly go down as an’ event in the an- nals of the hostory of California. * Besides the Viceroy and his suite, all the high officials of State, city, navy and army circles, as well as many prominent in business circles, will be bidden to the banquet: Viceroy Juan-Fang is' a scholar and student of the highest degree. His art collection of fine antiquities is sald to be the finest in all China. He has always taken a great interest in America. He was Governor of ‘the province of Shensi during the Boxer troubles, and in the height of the excitement, at great risk to himself, he rescued every foreigner in his province, without the loss of a life. The Merchants’ BExchange has sent a communication to their Excellencies, | Juan-Fang and Taithung-tzue, Imperial High Commisioners of China, tendering them a receotion on the floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange at such time as would be convenlent to them. In the event that they are able to accept, the members of all the commercial organizations of San Francisco will be invited to be present. Notice of date and time will be given hereafter.

His return has brought joy to the heart of his aged mother, Mrs. M. J. Ogilvie, who, after grieving for her lost son until time at last healed the wound in her heart, though it did not blot his image from her memory, has lived to see him come back a rich man, bringing with him the assur- ance of comfort for her in her declining ears. ;i Ogiivie, after leaving his Eastern home, drifted west, and finally joined the rush of goldseekers to the treasure land of ka, the Klondike, where, after sev- eral years of hardship and toil, he amassed a fortune in gold, with which he has returned to civilization. On re- turning from the goldfields of the north, he journeyed to his old home, only to find that his mother, two brothers and a sister had likewise come West and were living somewhere in California. Then began the search of the son for his aged mother, which ended to-day in her little home in Berkeley, where her three younger children, now grown to young manhood and womanhood, are at tending the State University. The reunion was a joyful one, and Ogil- vie will now devote himself to the care of his mother and will also see that his brothers, Harry and Frank, and his sister, Miss Dal Ogilvie, want for nothing. —————————— MORE MEAT INSPECTORS ARE NEEDED IMMEDIATELY WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—"Unless Congress speedily grants the emergency appropriation of $135,000 requested by me for additional inspectors and misco- scopists it is probable that more than $50,000,000 worth of orders for Amer- ican pork and beef products placed by German dealers will go unfilled.” This statement was made by Secre- tary Wilson to-day.
