In addition to the labors already undertaken to that end by the Native Sons and Native Daughters and rela- tives of the Fighting First, the Citi- zens’ Executive Committee is to make things more in the direction of a gen- | eral public decoration. | Invitations were sent out yester- | day by the executive committee to| about three hundred of the leading merchants and professional men of t city, requesting them to meet with the committee and help it form a general citizens’ committee to finance the welcome.

The committee on decoration, of which W. J.

The committee decided also to call upon the residents and business men of the city to add to the official illum- ination by displays of lights in their be no waits. $5000 from this source alone. With this rapid movement all along the line, the success of every feature of the reception seems to be assured.

A estimate of committee of the committee of Pennsylvanians consisting of J. A. Herron, “Harry’’ Hall, W. B, Cuthbert- son and Rufus H. Herron was-appointed to draft resolutions of respect to memory of the late Colonel Hawkins. The sub-cogimittee submitted its report to the special main committ vesterday, and it wa: adopted. The report follows: Whereas, Pennsylvania's escort commit- tee, appointed to meet and welcome the Tenth Pennsylvania_Volunteer Infantry on % return to the United States from the Philippine Islands, has learned with the Qeepest regret of the untimely death on July 18, 159, of Colonel Alexander L. Haw- kink, commander of #aid regiment; therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Colonel Hawkins, Pennsylvania has lost a true patriot, a brave soldier, and an honorable and esteemed citizen and the Tenth Regi- ment a commander whose courage inspired its men to duty whenever duty was demand ed. His constant interest in and care for = men, his unfailing devotion to their elfare, and his high example of duty as a soldlér and a citizen have all conspired to gain for him a hold upon their warm- est_affections. Colonel Hawkins was a gallant soldler in the eivil war, entering the ranks of the army of the' Union as a private in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cav- alry, and by ‘his courage and stead- fastness In the performance of every duty he won, by -successive promotion, the rank of captain. , He had been for over twenty-two. vears an active member of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, and for twenty years colonel of the Tenth- Regi- ment. Under his command, the Tenth was among the first reglments to cross the Pa- cific Ocean, and carry the flag of his coun- stern hemisphere in the Span- sh-American war, in which it was the st regiment to engage in battle with the enemy. During the present conflict with the Fillpinos the Tenth was seventy-one days on the firing line and participated in all operations of the American army up to April 13 1599, and after that day was in active duty at Cavite until the time. of its departure for home. At all times Colonel Hawkins was at his post Resolved, That this committee, as does the whole' people of Pennsylvania, most deeply deplores his death, and tenders to his sorrowing widow and famlly its heart- felt condolence In this grea: affilction.

The committee on decoration for the reception of the California boys met ye terday afternoon in Mayor Phelan’s pri- vate office in the Phelan building. W.

ENEFIT FOR THE FUND Theatrical Managers Put Their Shoulders to the ‘W heel. A behemoth of a benefit, a continuo formance, the like of which has neve before been attempted in the West, ha been arranged to swell the fund for the proper reception of the returning Califor- nia boy It will take place Thursday, August 17, between the hours of 12:30 p. m. and 6 p. m., at the Orpheum.

The south front of the City Hall in this city presents a face that would lend itself to simiiar display I made an estimate of how many incandescent lights will be nec- 5 and 1 found it will take about 0 so as to light the dome from the antern down to the first circle and to outline the remaining portion of the front."” Four thousand lamps, Mr. Mills estimat- ed, would be needed to treat the ferry de pot in a similar manner and as many more for the dome he proposed and a rough drawing of which he submitted, in- tended to span the space at the intersec- tion of Kearny, Geary, Market and Third streets. = The general uggestions of Mr. Mills met with approval, as did one from Mr. Schilling that the committee might in- vite merchants and householders to co- operate in the illumination by displays in the windows of their places of business dences. Mr. Holbrook suggested circular letters be sent out asking for such co-operation from private citi- zens and from the newspapers. He ‘was assured that the newspapers would at- tend to the matter without solicitation. In support of his suggestion for a-tri- umphal dome of incandescent light Mr. Mills said it would do away with the ne- cegsity for a triumphal arch, which nowa- vs was generally a very tawdry, wall- paper affair. On motion it was decided to be the sense of the committee that it report to the ex- ecutive committee recommending the illu- mination of the ferry depot, the dome and south front of the City Hall and the erec- tion of the iridescent dome, as suggested by Mr. Mills. It was also decided that the newspapers be requested, as suggested by Mr. Schil- ling, to co-operate with the decoration committee in illuminating. ’At this stage Mr. Hirsch advanced the jdea that the illumination would be great- ly enharced by the stretching across Market street, from the ferry depot to Van Ness avenue, of strings of many- colored incandescent lamps. This sug- gestion also was received with fayor. Taving arrived at these general agree- ments on_plans the matter of expense was considered. Chairman Martin stated succession of scenes calculated to more than make up for the patriotic outlay. There will be no waits, everything has been set to jig time, and the managers of an Francisco hope to clean up 35000 of the 350,000 needed to hail the fighting First on its homecoming. Here is the programme, roughly out- lined: The Columbia will present Henry Miller and his company in one of their most fetching acts. The California will offer Miss Blanche Bates and the Frawley company in an- other act of a successful play. One act of grand opera will be sung by the Tivoli company. Miss Florence Roberts, White Whittlesey and the Alcazar stock company will pre- sent “Only the Master Shall Blame. The company from the Grand Op=ra- house will sing its merriest in an act of comic ope The Orpheum will offer as interludes to the operatic and dramatic numbers the following star vaudeville atiractions: Alexandra Dagmar, the beautiful Rus- sian warbler; the great Cardownie troupa of dancers: Caron and Herbert, the fa- mous comedy acrobats; Manstield and Wilbur, in their novelty vaudeville sketcn; Decnzo Brotters, the wonderful barrel- ists; Linton and Meclntyre, in_their new creation, “‘Doctor's Patien Bob Alden and Strap Hill, the ragtime comedians, Esmeralda, the wire queen, and the bio- graph. The orchestras of all the theaters will take part. Ten members of the managerial commit- tee met yesterday morning at the office of the Columbia Theater. J. J. Gottlob presided, and the others present Wwer William Leahy of the Tivoli. Harry Mo- rosco of the Grand Opera-house,. Fred Belasco and Mark Thall of the Alcazar, M. Meyerfeld and_John Morrissey of the Orphetm, S. H. Friedlander of the Call- fornia and Sam Mott and Alf Ellinghouse of the Alhambra. They got down to business at once Mr. Meyerfeld said he favored the suggestion of ‘Mr. Leahy, which contemplated one great continuans performance. The oth- ers seemed to be of the same opinion, and starting with this in view it was easy to he other details. bout benefits in the East, {*'where they take in $5000. k we can do that here.” > 1t looks that way,’ said Mr. Gottlob. “If you give it to the public good and strong, as we propose to give it in this benefit. they will turn.out.” . said Mr. Morrissey, ‘‘we can give them a continuous_performance that will open their eyes. Look at the tatent in the various theaters in the city.” Having decided on a continuous per- formance to run from 12:30 o’clock on some afternoon to 6 o'clock p. m., it was decided that Thursday, August 17, would be the best time. 'Then the managers began figuring on a theater, it being final- ly decided that the choice lay between the Orpheum and the Grand Opera-house. M s. Morosco and Meyerfeld were asked to submit figures regarding their houses, capacity of which is the sen\lng about equal. The decision in favor of the Orpheum was reached on the suggestion that it was more central than the Grand Opera-house. r. Meyerfeld then submitted a_rough estimate of the revenue to be derived from seats. “There are twenty-four large boxes in the Orpheum,” he said, “and the sug- gestion made by Mr. Friedlander that they be auctioned is a good one. The first box should bring at least $250, and it of opinion that the | Schilling that an | 11 at 50 cents each and opera cl that ought to bring 31 apiece feld concluded that there | be no expense for lights or other saries, the house standing that. | Chairman Gottlob announced t the Globe Printing Company had offered to print tickets free of charge: that the | Sterett Printing Company offered to do all the printing free and that Siebe & een_would charge nothing for bill post- ing. It stated that the lithographing houses would get out a souvenir pro- gramme for the glory of the thing. George Lask of the Tivoli was chosen s general stage manager of the big benefit. S. H. Friedlander was appointed a com- mittée of one on press and printing. Messrs. Meyerfeld, Gottlob and Leahy Wwere named as a committee on the sale of seats. Fred Belasco, with a close shave will be expected to look after the prim donnas and leading ladies, who are ex pected to do gheat execution in the flower selling line. Mark Thall will take care of the souvenir programme. It was decided to call on Superintendent MclLaren of Golden ( for flow- . ‘which the florists of the city will be ed to make into bouquets free of charge. It was decided that the whole committee should meet at the Columbia Theater every morning at 11 o'clock until the great day. i N NATIVE SONS. What They and the Daughters Are Doing for the Re- ception. The joint committee of the Native Sons and Daughters met last night in the ban- quet Hall of the Native Sons’ building. A communication was received from the Mechanics’ Institute directors announcing that it would be impossible to allow the use of the Mechanics’ Pavilion for the committee on account of the fact that the Pavilion is being prepared for the fair. The directors in another communication asked if some arrangement could not be made to have a First California Regiment night for the purpose of distributing the medals to the volunteers. These com- munications were filed. Entertainment committee No. 1 was granted more time to make its final re- port. k. D. Barton, president of the Pacific Coast Musicians’ Union, stated that his union had offered a band of fifty pieces to play during the day parade gratis and that as since the tender the music com- mittee had hired a band for the recep- tion from another union, and as the hiring was still in force, he withdrew the offer made, as he believed that in view of the generous offer the music should have been rom_the union he represents, in view of the fact that many of the members are Native Sons. Mrs. Mary E. Tillmann stated that had called on J. D. Spreckels of Spreckels line of tugs, who informed that while he could not then tell what would be furnished he would inform committee through her that a tug of the capacity of 150 would be reserved for the use of the committee at the time that it was needed. The report of Mrs. Till- mann was followed by a vote of thanks to Mr. Spreckels for his generosity. The report of the secretary of the re- ception committee as to what has been done since the previous meeting of - the joint committee was read and adopted. The meeting then adjourned to the call of the chair. At the California Hotel yesterday the officials in charge recel a visit from John J. Cord: rand s retary of the Grand Court of the Forest. ers of America, who called to have a meeting of the representatives of the va- rious courts to be held August 8, attended by a representative of the grand marshal, t6 obtain information as to what the For- esters can do to take part in the parade which the Native Sons and Daughters are ;urdungins. A representative was prom- sed. Past Grand Master Workman George H. Bahrs and supreme representatives of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, it was announced, have issued an appeal to all the lodges In the State to contribute to the fund for the reception. In his ap- peal he says: Now, therefore, with the approbation of the grand master workman, I call ‘upon the vari- ous lodges of our order to contribute to the fund to be applied to the reception of our. gallant heroes from Manila. out of their gen-' eral fund, or from contributions among the membership, as liberal & sum as possible, for no money can be more loyally applied than in proving our appreciation of the sacrifices and heroism of our returning fathers, sons and brothers, while in the service of our common country. The fact that they volunteered per- haps rendered our doing likewise unnecessary, too much honor cannot be showered upon our she the her tug the headquarters ved boys. 1t our membership could be induced to contribute 10 cents per capita, we could soon have a fund of 52000 to be applied toward doing homage to our returning heroes ‘Are we unequal to this demand .upon our patriotism and liberality? 1 answer, No! “As the brave boys will arrive in a little more than two weeks from date, it s of the high- est importance that the lodges act upon this appeal with great dispatch. ~All contributions will - please be forwarded to Brother Samuel Booth, our grand receiver. : The Knights of the Maccabees are mov- ing in the matter and it is likely that San Francisco, Golden West and Pacific tents will take part in the celebration. Bay City Parlor of the Native Sonsof, the Golden West has accepted the invita- tion and promises a fine feature. 4 Mayor Phelan sent a letter of accept- ance of a place on the committee of the Native Sons and Daughters. The Fraternal Eagles have signified their intention of making a display with other societies. - ————— Military Notes.

SALEM, Or., Aug. 3.—Governor Geer to-day received a circular from Edward Rosenberg, secretary of the San Francisco Labor Council, in the form of an appeal to him to protest to the War Department against the “criminal policy” of muster- ing out any more returning volunteers in San Francisco. The circular states that the labor market is being flooded and that volunteers will be forced to re-enlist in order to secure a living. This is the Gov- ernor's answer to Mr. Rosenberg: 1 have been a workingman all my life and while all my sympathy is with that class of Tellow citizens at all times and everywhere, Your appeal in thelr interest is illogical. ill- tempered, uncalled for and demagogical in the Your declaration that the War De- partment is moved by a desire to flood the Jabor market and thus check the struggle of the workingman for improved conditions is abgurd to a degree of imbecility, but equally fational with the other statement that the Government desires to compel volunteers driven to want or destitution to re-enlist Sueh demagogical utterances as these, which are not only mot based on facts, but bear in fhem unmistakable evidences of studied per- Version, do the real laboring men of the Tnited States grave injustice and in the end infinite harm. 4 'To seize such an occasion as the one above noted to make inflammatory and almost in- Furrectionary ' appeals to our working people indlcates want of good taste and good judg- ment and recklessness af statement that does | no eredit to the organization engaged in its | promulgation.
