An Imposing Martial Pa- geant Passes Through the Streets. The parade was the most notable of its character that has ever passed through the streets of San Franc! The spirit | of war is in the air and has brought out all the patriotism and all the pride of country of a united people. As a pageant it was brilllant. The assing of volunteer soldiers in this vi- cinity fnade possible a grand display The mounted troops included the Fourth Cav , with its mounted banc Utah Cava First Troop Cavalry, tional Guard of California and the signal corps. The infantry, marching with a steady swing that told of the benefits conferred amp life, was composed of the Sixth h and Eighth California, First | ngton. Twentieth Kansas, First essee and Fifty-first Iow The of the people who thronged the | strects went out to the men so far from their homes. They were greeted with | che the waving of flags through- ng line of march. ‘They were at their self-sacrifice was | and that while within the | they were the adopted sons preciated ption accorded them was ex- ) to the veterans of the Mexi- who rode in_carriages, and to n firemen. The latter, despite of ser sported their red rvice heimets and proudly beloved old engines, relics their puiled of the olden day: The men of the Naval Reserve looked like trained fighting men and with the | League of the Cross Cadets aided in fill- ing out the brilliant picture . One of the features of the procession is in the sixth division, which was pre- ceded by a band and the .drill corps of | the Columbian Park Club—a body of | twenty-five youngsters in blue suits and | caps on the English artillery pattern, | This division was made up of the local | tribes and councils of the Improved Or- | der of Red Men, a fraternal organization which is purely American, and based | upon the early Indian traditions of United State: The majority of the members of the or- der were ‘attired in picturesque costumes buckskin and other suits, war paint and feathers, and they presented a very pic- | turesque appearance, which was helght- | ened by three historical floats. Those in | line all along the route of march greeted | the spectators with loud warwhoops, and | these were responded to in kind by those on the sidewalks who could imitate the noises of the aborigines, while the ladies wha were unable to join in testified thelr the | around which were seateG | Oshonee, Pawnee, Ah-Wah-Nee and Bald | teen carriages in which rode members of the several appreciation of the demonstration by the wi of handkerchiefs and A erican as the Great Chief of Re: ords Chs Bu An, tne ha accompanied by his aids, rti L.

Then came Osceola, Ahwa: White Eagle Tribes in the regalia_of the order, followed by Manzanita, Modoc, Eagle Tribes, all in Indian costumes, add- | ing much to the gorgeousness of the dis- play. These acted as escort to the third float, “Princess Pocahontas and Her Maids of Honor.” On this float was borne | aloft_the banner of Mataoka Council of the Degree of Pocahontas. The Indian princess was personated by Mrs. Lizzie | Trube. She was attired in the costume | that the Indian maiden is represented as having worn when she pleaded for the life of Captain John Smith, and she | looked very well the character she a: sumed. Her maids of honor were Misses T. and J. Mulcahy, Mrs. Bollman, Miss Blumenthal, Miss Dooly, Miss Henry and Miss_Jensen, members of local councils. In addition there were on this float rep- resentatives of Great Chiets Minnewucca and Modoc. The division closed with six- ocal councils and those across the bay of the Degree of Pocahontas and members of Miontonomah, Pocahontas, Sotoyome, Modoc. Montezuma and Al- thomas Tribes, including a number of vet- erans of the order. There were between 600 and 700 people of the order in line, and it was the most brilliant display that has been made by a fraternal organiza- tion in this city in many years. The remaining military companies in line were the Independent Rifles, San Fr Turner Section, and the Aus- trian ary Company. Re s sounded at Camp Merritt at half-past 4 and in the gray of the morning men were hurrying to and {ro pre ring for the du of the day. The various_regiments were marched to the foot of Market street at an early hour and there was no confusion as the hour ap- proached for the start of the parade. The streets filled slowly. A heavy fog in the morning gave the day a dull, sullen nd detracted from the usual ¢ of the scene. Before 10 the sun came out, however, and dissipated the mis By this time the streets were filled with holiday-make: Grand Marshal Alfred A. Borlini with his_aids took up their station at Market and Main streets. The various divisions were placed in their allotted stations thout confusion and shortly after 10 1e_cannon in the tower of the Spreckels building belched forth the | signal for the parade to_ start.

The literary exercises held at Metropol- tan Hall in the afternoon were attended by fully 2500 people and many were un- able to gain entrance. The programme was carried out in a manner that reflected great credit on the committee and those who participated. After an overture of patriotic selections | by J. D. Hynes' orchestra, Grand Marshal A. A. Borlini in a brief speech of thanks for the honor conferred on him intro- duced Joseph E. O'Donnell, president of | the day. President O'Donnell said that it | was with feelings of patriotic pride that he assumed the position of president of the celebration. He thanked the commit- | tee of one hundred for the assistance giv- | en him and then feelingly referred to the California Volunteers who were celebrat- ing the birth of our country's independ- | ence many thousand miles away. | “America,” said he in conclusion, | | been the preceptor of the world in the lesson of freedom.

Keane sweetly sang “Co- lumb and being encored rendered ‘“‘Our | Grand Old Flag,’”” written by Mrs. E. L Bronson. Mayor James D. Phelan was next called upon for a few remarks. He sald that America is to-day pointing with pride to the sons to whom she has given birth. He referred to the ‘“‘glorious victories won our navy and arm in the present war with Spain. 'The decisive blow of the war has been given,” said he, fcan courage and pluck have been vindi- cated. All honor to Dewey, Sampson, Shafter and all our heroes. Our American vessels will now be able to ride at anchor in_safety in any port in the world.” W. W. Finnie sang “On _to Spain,” and for an encore “Keep a Place in Your Heart for Me.” After selections by the orchestra, Presi- dent O’Donnell introduced John J. Bar- rett, who was selected to deliver the ora- tion. He was frequently interrupted dur- in his re- nglish nation when, of applause. He spoke in part as follows: What is the mission of public? Have we understood it? filling it? Its mission is intelligibly written in every hour of its history. It is the child of battle— freedom. The minds, the hearts, the souls, the life from which it drew its being weré aflame with the love of freedom. Freedom was the predominant passion of its pro- genitors. Its very being is but the embodi- ment of the triumphant assertion of the right of freedom, Its youth was nursed at the breast of freedom. It developed into lusty manhood through the vitalizing energy of the spirit of freedom. Twice in the span of its career It has been summoned to wrest from obstinate despots at fearful cost the freedom of enthralled and misgoverned peoples. On cvery sod that our feet have pressed and on every wave that our ship of state has mounted, from '76 to ‘85, from Trenton to Manila, from Washington to Dewey, our com- mission has been plainly written—the Ameri- can republic, the custodian of freedom; guard, grow in, give freedom. * * * We responded to the call of Cuba like a na- tion that was simply resting on its arms wait- ing for the summons. The call for volunteers transformed us into one vast army. The heart of every citizen is mustered in. The amazing epectacle is shown the world of millions of men in angry contest for the privilege of fighting in the cause. Our flelds are tented Are we ful- Alds—Veteran Fire- | partment in uniform.

It was a deed of deathless fame. With pride and grati- tude we shall remember Hobson and the gal- lant crew of the Merrimac as long as with love and sorrow we remember the shattered Maine. If aught of harm befalls those darling heroes the infamy will rankle in our hearts long after we shall have avenged that other outrage. Down in the distant Orient the master feat in the naval warfare of the world has been | wrought by an American seaman. We are contemporaries of a man whose name will be a household word as long as the human fam- | 1ly shall be divided into warring sections. We | are fellow-citizens with a naval warrior whose | Intrepidity and skill will be the pride and boast of the American republic so long as the | nation shall endure. * o = The war in which we are engaged is teaching other lessons. It has emphasized the an fact that patriotism the monopoly of no creed; that in the welded union of all the classes, creeds and races embraced in this re- public lies the impregnable bulwark of Amer | can institutions; that the vilest traitor an foulest foe of American principles is he who, challenging the patriotism of any creed or of any race, sows dissension among an otherwise ited, p ful and invincible people. This has fused us into a thunderbolt, and the nation that is crossing its course will feel its | might. M Helen Merrill of the Tivoll then sang “The Star Spangled Banner” | was_deservedly encored. The Declaration | of Independence was read in masterly fmanner by Julius Kahn, and the large au | dience dispersed after singing ‘‘America. - THE WOUNDED. The Emergency Hospital Doctors Busy Treating Powder Burns. Consldering the cause for a more than | usual enthusiastic celebration of the day it no wonder that the Emergency Hospital surgeons were kept busy reliev | ing the sufferings of patriots wounded by powder explosions and excessive en- thusiasm. The first cz se treated was that of David Barr, 110% Morris avenue. He was walking along Folsom street and at Sixth a boy came out of a doorway and fired a toy pistol into his face, the bullet strik- ing his upper lip and inflicting an ugly wound. William Mcionald, a boy living at 12 Howard street, was firing off a toy can- non when it exploded in his right hand badly wounding it. His brother Fred took possession of the cannon, but a pre- mature explosion burned his’ face badly and he had also to seck help in the hos- a Hoff, 120 Converse street, allowed y cannon to explode in his left hand and the ind: finger W ne: severed. Rudolph erson, 125 Locust avenue, had the fingers of his left hand badly toy cannon, and_Willie Bolger, 8 Boyd street, and Joe Merk, 15 _Brosnan street, were burned about the face, the premature explosion of fire { eves by | cracke: ‘William Flynn, 317 Tehama street, was | fooung with a revolver when it exploded | and the bullet lodged in his left hand. It | was extracted by Dr. Rinne at the hos- pital. E. G. Regholz, a member of Company G, Washington Volunteers, stationed at Angel Island, was the most seriously in- | juréd of the many brought in. A 44 flat- | tened bullet was extracted from his left side. The wounded volunteer stated that he was walking down Larkin street with E. Harris and_when he reached Geary reet he felt something strike him | Placing his hand in his blouse he dis | covered a lump and went into a near b | drug store to be examined. It was then | ascertained that he was wounded and he went to the Receiving Hospital. The bul- | 1et bore evidence of having struck some- thing hard and glancing off entered his | body. John Walsh, living at 3 Walsh_ street, | visited the Southern station and com- plained of being stabbed by Matt Mul- cahey, who lives in the same house with | him. He was taken to the Receiving Hos: | pital, where a slight knife wound was | found on him. Martie Boyle, 117% Perry street, suf- it‘ewd a fracture of the jaw, due to the explosion of a toy cannon. Id Doerers, a small boy living at 208 Val- ley street, was treated for powder burns bout the hand. Elma Harr, 6 Grove jstreet, was also treated for the same in- ur; Willie Bolger, a_small boy, looked over |a *“red head” and had his eye damaged lby the exploding noise-making article. | Walter Murdoch, 1009 Hayes street, had powder removed from his optic. M. E. McKanna, 9. Market street, fell from a car and fractured his right leg. James Lynch, 4 Cleveland street, was | treated for powder burns about the face.

Hanks of Company I, stationed at Camp Merritt, was invited by a lot of small boys in South Park to ignite some powder, and believing it to be the red fire, obeyed the request. He is now sorry the powder was black. It burned his hand. George Hanna and John Furlong were two tearful victims of an exploded fire- cracker and bomb. Their powder-burned tx‘itce? were treated at the Harbor Hos- pita.

All Kinds of Vessels Gay With Bunting in Honor of the Occasion. ever in the history of the water front has the shipping made as brave a show- ing as it did yesterday: Every American vessel in port had her bunting throwh to the breeze and the: Britishers also deco- rated their vessels. On other--holidays the captains of American véssels have al- ways excused the poor showing made by | their ships.by pointing’ to the faét that they had no crews aboard, while all for- cign craft had a full complement of men in the forecastle. ‘When an American vessel reaches: an American port everybody is paid off and the only people who remain by the ship | as a rule are the captain, cook and stew= | ard. On this occasion, however; If there wera no men in the forecastle to dress the ship_the capta or owners must hav hired them spe . as every Americs vessel in the bay did honor to the-glori- ous Fourth. At the Mail dock the steamers Acapul- co, Peru, City of Panama_and - Coptic made that end of the town fock gay with bunting. The Coptic flew the British flag from her gaff and the stars and stripes from the fore. At Steuart-street wharf Michael Kennedy, Third street, had ns the American ship Roanoke upheld the honor of the day, while at Harrison- street wharf the Steamers Pennsylvania and Cleyeland carried off the honors. Folsom-street wharves had the British steamer Bristol and_American steamer Centennial and the Sp: ance, Alert d Sea King to help make them the brightest spots on the front. Every flag that the boys of the naval battalion could get hold of was flown en the training ship Marion, and the.cutters | Grant and Rush were the best dressed | vessels in the bay. The State tugs were covered with bunt- eckels tugs Reli- ing, and they and the ferry-boats were | gay with flags, while the steamer Point Arena, schooner Transit and the bark- entine Irmgard made Mission-streetwhart one blaze of color.

JOY WAS KING. A Night of T-umult and Noisy Patriotic Ex- pression. Probably there was not another city in the United States in which there was such a tumult of patriotic expression as in San Francisco last evening. From dusk: until the hour of 12 there was a burst of | explostons. Firecrackers of every degree, | torpedoes which seemed to have- the dynamic force sufficient to destroy a navy, combined in a babel of sound'so | constant that, heard from the surround- | ing heights, it was an unbroken’ roar, | punctuated here and there by a heavier boom when some cannon spoke. Across the sky, lowering with fog, there flashed thousands of rockets. Roman can- | dles shot their bright lights into the air. | Fire of every hue lent splendor to the | night. From the top of the Spreckels | | | bark: | West building there burned signal lights which must have sent to a great distance infor- mation that the city was celebrating. The sight was beautiful and inspiring. Crowds were on all the thoroughfares and they enjoyed'the occasion to the ut- most. To bé sure, crackers went off just under their feet, and a rain of sparks was to be expected any minute, but nobody seemed to object. People inclined to ob- ject must have remained at home. The 1oise anywhere down town was simply deafening. Conversation was carried. on with difficulty and in shouts. Men forgot their dignity’ and ventured to shoot ag- e gressive cartridges. Even women slyly dropped torpedoes, and laughed to see the effect if anybody manifested signs of being startled, deeming that they had secured a triumph. There had been some racket during the day, but it was as nothing. ‘The going down of the sun was thé signal :for pan- demonium. There was no rest nor peace, but as nobody was in quest of these su- perfluities there was no complaint. Until midnight the clamor was unabated, but even then it did not entirely cease. There was a comparative calm, but with. all their ardor people had. been unable to burn all their fireworks, and they kept on burning. The roar died down, but there was still a “boom, boom!" bespeakln% a time that some patriots were having. In- deed, the night had nearly passed before silence reigned over the city. A POOR DISPLAY. Over 10,000 people who- went oiit to the corner of Clayton and Haight streets to witness the city’s display of fireworks re- turned home disappointed. Their disap- pointment was not due to any fault on the part of the committee having the af- fair in charge. The set picces would not g0 off in a satisfactory way and severs of them went out before they were h burned. The display of rockets and othy aerial pieces was the only satisfacto part of the programme. There was n fog, so the fizzle cannot be charged te that account. Colonel T. P. Robinson, chairman of thg fireworks committee, said after the so- called display that he was as sorely dis- appointed as those who traveled out to see a pyrotechnic display. The excuse of- the manufacturers for the fafl- that the set pieces got wet. s e Fireworks at North Beach. The patriotic members of the Golden Gate Valley Improvement Club provided a display of fireworks last night for the residents on the North Beach side of the The fireworks were displayed from a barge on the lagoon at the foot of Fill- more street. There were no set pieces, rockets, bombs and various colored fire making up the ex- hibition. The affair was under the direc- tion of the following members of the club: Frank H. M..er, William Schaeffer, Harper Wilkinsen, Richard Rice, Mr. Paul, Mr. Mangels and Mr. Creede. There was_a large attendance, although a cold wind and fog interfered with the show. —_—— Tennis at Santa Cruz.
