physical conditions and- climate of. the
Islands are very similar to those of- Japan,
the greatest coffee producing island of the

The . ladies' auxiliary committee has
asked and received permission from the
management to name the person who will
present the mammoth bouquet to Presi

probably be chosen, as it was her bright
idea that gave the carnival this feature.
She is chairman of the ladles' committee
and' has been very active in the arrange
ments for the festival.
A miniature of the battleship Ohio made
of flowers will be the offering of the Ohio
ana of this city and county to President
McKinley.- At first it was intended to
have it a float in the parade, but this has

twelve feet long. White calla lilies will
form the base, while the detail work will
be of red and blue flowers. ,

SAN JOSE. May 5.— Santa Clara County
is ready to receive President McKlnley in
manner befitting 1 the Garden City of the
"West. Thousands upon thousands of
flowers are being plucked to do honor to
the nation's Chief Executive. A wilder
ness of blossoms will be presented on this
occasion for the delight of the city's
guests— a profusion such as it would be
almost impossible to gather elsewhere
than in the sunny and fertile valley of
the Santa Clara. /
Arrangements are complete. The man
agement and the committees have worked
long and hard. For nearly j[ our months
the preparation has been In;]*ogress. and
there- have been thousands *of workers,
from the school, child who has acted as
gardener, planting and training 1 the small
plot of flowers set a-side for each, one who
cared to help, to the director general,
who' has devoted his entire time to the
Carnival affairs. Many hands have done
hard work, and ' constant attention has -
made Santa Clara County's welcome the
most pretentious, In a floral way, of any
city on the President's^ route. San Jose
will provide the Californian floral exhibit
for the benefit of the Eastern visitors,
and it will cause eyes to open wide at its
magnificence.
In the parade on the morning of the
14th, when President McKlnley will ride
at the head of a procession of fifty floral
floats and hundreds of carriages deco
rated with blossoms, the idea has been
not to attempt to compete with the larger
cities in number of . organizations in line,
nor in military splendor. The results of
the fertile soil and beautiful climate,
flowers In profusion, will be the sole rea
son for the exhibit.
At a meeting yesterday of the ladles' .
auxiliary committee. Mrs. "Williams', a *
landscape gardener from near Alma, was
given charge of the decoration of I the
fountain in St. James Park. Her plans
are very extensive and will make this one
of the most beautiful features of the
floral display. Mrs. Williams has one of
the finest ferneries in the State, and sne.
intends to use her choice plants in . the
decorations. These will be arranged with
an abundance of flowers to make the cen
ter of the park a floral labyrinth.
: Mrs. Addle Frink, secretary of the com
mittee, has . already received notice of
about five hundred contributions of flow
ers for the women's work in the decora
tions. The fear that the recent rain had
injured the Carnival flower crop is . un
founded, and there will be blossoms in

Continued from First Page.
President and Mrs. McKInley as soon as
the members of the Davis Committee had
¦withdrawn. While they were waiting: at
the end of the Pullman they were photo
graphed. As the ladies withdrew, Mrs.
llcKinley appeared a-t the door, of the car
and smiled sweetly at those in the vicin
ity. She was greeted with cheers, the
lifting of hats and the waving of hand
kerchiefs. Sire threw kisses to a number
of children who were near at hand, and
the little ones seemed to appreciate this
gracious act of the first lady of the land.
Mrs. McKinley's Health.
Mrs. McKinley's health has not been
good and she Ehows plainly the effects or
tho fatiguing journey across the great
State of Texas. She is better to-day, but
at other points to the eastward the
gravest apprehension was felt for her con
dition, and her physician at one time
feared that it would be necessary for tier
to discontinue the journey. Many per
sons in the crowd .to-day noted that her
face indicated that her health ,was not
good. " They also noted the tenderness
with which the President supported her
¦with his arm and assisted her to and from
the seat. Alarming reports concerning
her state of health have been telegraphed
from various -points along the route.
These have been somewhat exaggerated.
It cannot be denied that she -is in a very
frail condition of health, but there has
been no decided change for better or
¦worse.
At New Orleans the rocking of the boat
completely upset her and for an hour, or
two she kept to her cabin, with the Presi
dent in constant and anxious attendance
upon her. At San Antonio she was in a
state of partial collapse on account of the
very warm weather and the excitement
Incident to such a trip; This morning
•when she went for a drive it was ob
served that she was quite- infirm. She
walked feebly and had to be supported.
Yet, it must be remembered that as long
ago as the first inauguration of President
McKinley she was in much the same con
dition and had to be supported on the
platform at the east front of the Capitol
by the President's brother, Abner Mc-
Kinley. It is hoped that she will be able
to accomplish the remainder of the jour
ney without serious indisposition. To-mor
row the Iadie3 of the party will be enter
tained in Old Juarez at a breakfast, and
it is hoped that Mrs. McKinley will be
well enough to be present. %
[~K:'~, The Southern Reception.
. I asked Secretary Hay to-night to give
me his Impressions of the reception ac
corded President McKinley in the' South
and of general conditions in the Southern
sections traversed by the Presidential
train.
"It Is a satisfaction to comply with Ths
Call's request," said he, "for it gives me
unbounded pleasure to acknowledge by
some public utterance the gratification we
all feel over the generous and hospitable
treatment we have received all along the
. line since we left Washington. We ex
pected It. and were not disappointed. The
liberality and hospitality of the Southern
people have long been proverbial in our
country. If there has been any lack of
enthusiasm at any point along the line,
it was not observable by any member of
our party. The Southern people have
learned the art of entertaining in a quiet
manner. If there has been any lack of
noisy demonstrations, it is because of this
fact. Our receptions at various points
along the route have been quiet but none
the less cordial. Business and general con
ditions are improviug In the South, and
we are happy to not« it."
Postmaster General Smith said:
"Our welcome in the South has been all
that we expected. Everywhere have we
received the most kindly treatment. It
must be remembered that a vast number
of people in the South are-ppposed politi
cally to the present admmistratibn, but
It has gratified us to observe that the
Southern people have not allowed political
prejudices to influence them to any ex
"tent- .---- ... : . • "• -
A Steady Improvement.
"I have observed in the public prints-'
some allusions to a rather cool treatment
accorded the President and his associates
on his trip; but it must be remembered
that Southern methods are different from
those of the North. In place of the pyro
technic welcomes to which we are accus
tomed in the North, we have received in
the South receptions none the less sincere
because quietly expressed. As for gen
oral business conditions in the South and
conditions generally, they are just about
as we expected. No close observer can
fail to notice a steady improvement in
business and industrial conditions ; in the
South, slow but sure, and God speed the
day when the Southern country will be
completely regenerated and revived! Her
natural resources are abundant, her peo
ple Intelligent and industrious. There is
no reason why general prosperity
throughout the South should be retarded,
and if any act of the administration can
be an aid to the material welfare of the
Southern people, you may be sure it will
be forthcoming."

METCALF URGES
VALLEJO TRIP
Congressman Victor H.
Metcalf of the Third District
said this evening:
"It would be an excellent
thing if the President could
find- time to visit the Mare
, Island Navy Yard, for much
good would come, from such a
trip. I will leave to-morrow
for the south to meet the
President and will take the
matter up at that time. - The
great difficulty is that the
route of the President has al
ready been completed and it is
• very difficult to make a
change. I have just returned
from Vallejo and the people
of that city are much inter
ested. They hope that at least
the Secretary of the Navy will
visit the navy yard. I hope to
he able to have a portion of the
Presidential party, if not the
President, go to Vallejo."

inent Missourians and residents of Ohio
