It was useless to attempt to force the crowds bac there was no room for more on the side- walks, and all the officers attempted was to keep the throng in motion. The police were a weary, anxious-looking lot of men. ‘When a patrol wagon drove along ac- companied X hief es and a fores of men prepared to stretch wire ropes to re strain_the crowd there was a sign of r lief. That crowd was the one thing that worried those who arranged the celebra tion. For a time the wire rope plan was effective, but by twos and threes tne peo- le broke through the lines, and long be- ore the lights on the patrol wagons, that marked the approach of the parade, ap- | peared_creeping at snail’s pace along down Market street, the thoroughfore was black with people from curb to curb. No one who viewed that throng from the stand had hopes of witnessing a parade | that night. It seemed almost %eyond hu- | man gosslhfllly to force a passage through ‘lhat uman barricade. | At the outset the crowd kept on the go. People hurried and _scurried, Wltho‘ul knowing why or whither.

But the attractive featwre was the il- lumination over the street, the lines of incandescent lamps stretching away until they looked like one broad pathway of gold ending at the lighted tower over the bay. To the southwest the dome of tne City Hall bedecked in light cast rays of gold over the surrounding darkness. To the north loomed up the towers of the Native Sons' building and Mark Hopkins | Institute of Art, also shedding light in all | directions. | Suddenly from the dome of the Claus Spreckels buildine, illuminated in every window from the street to the very top, a white puff of smoke flew, followed by a sharp resounding report of a cannon. At the same time the reflected glare of Roman fire away off by the bay at the end of Van Ness avenue was seen. The two announced that the procession had started. At other points along the line of march the match was applied to the pans of powder, which cast a ruddy glow upward and around. Within ten minutes scarcely a point of the compass could be found where the red lights were not burn- ing, while away off on the top of Park Hill toward the Twin Peaks bonfires were lighted, adding to the general brilliant ef- fect. Then came the fireworks. Rockets car- ing every hue of the rainbow shot into K’e air and scattered their brilllant con- tents, while from down on the streets his ship very humiliating.

We also re- | spectfully request that the condition of affairs | aboard thig ship be investigated and those r e sponsible for the condition of the rations brought to_justice. Hoping that this will receive the immediate | attention of the War Department, we subscribe ourselves, Very respectfully. e DR. COULSON’S KINDNESS Dr. Nat T. Coulson threw open his hand- | some rooms In the Murphy building to | his friends and patrons, and they obtalned | a splendid view of the parade from the windows. There were accommodations for saveral hundred guests, and nearly that number availed themselves of the oppor- tunity and watched the brilliant spectacle in comfort. Three colored waiters from the Palace Hotel, attired in dress suits, flitted among the guests with refresh- ments, while a string band of gix pieces furnished excellent music. > In honor of the occasion Dr. <CoulSon decorated his spacious rooms with flags. Pretty souvenirs were also given to the visitors. They consisted of flags, wooden cards from the Philippines and colored horns. The courtesies extended by the opular dentist were greatly appreciated yl those who enjoyed his generous hospi- tality. FUND EXCEEDS CALCULATIONS There is $10,000 more in the fund for the reception and care of the California volun- teers than the committee set its mind upon raising when it undertook the task. Fifty thousand was the goal. Yesterday the amount actually collected reached $60,032. The returns trom the Harbor Commissioners’ excursion are yet to be heard from and subscriptions for sub- stantial amounts are still to be collected. It is calculated that the committee will complete its work with at least $65,000 in the treasu Co%tfl?ul}k:‘i! were received esterda) m the following: yPrev?mfsly reported, 859,915‘: H. Dutard, ;.

The two com- | mands were a little late in reporting all | present, but every one reported within an nour and nothing was said. The principal object in having the men | all present was to care for their baggage | and be on hand when the customs officers | inspected it. All through the morning the trucks were arriving, and In the open space at the end of the tents of the col- onel and the regimental staff the effects of the regiment were piled high. The artillerymen’s baggage was put over be- nind Major Rice's tent at the end of the artillery battalion street. ‘The baggage was inspected and passed rignt there, and then each man tcok his effects to his tent. There was not much done during the day except to entertain the visitors who | went out to the Presidio. There were thousands of them and they were all talk- | ative, so the camp was a lively place. | As 'soon as a man had attended to his | bagzage he was not called on for any | further duty, but was ordered to report | back at 6 o'clock, so the men might have | time to form for the parade. It was un- derstood that after the parade and ban- quet the men would be allowed to seek their own homes, so they were notified | they would turn out without arms or| equipments. | The furlough after the parade and ban- | gquet will be until 10 o'clock thts morning. The men will all report then and will put the camp in order before noon. Colonel | Duboce and Major Rice expect that a| great many people will visit the camps this afternoon, and they wish to have the place lookin; E It has not been decided what will be al- lowed in the way of liberty to-day and this .evening, but it is certain that to- morrow morning the business of muster- ing out will be commenced. The muster- ing officers notified the commanding offi- cers yesterday that they would do noth- ing until to-morrow. eneral Shafter's orders were that until the reception was | well over the men should be given full liberty. ‘While the men are awaiting the muster- out they will have but little to do besides getting fat. There will be no drills, and an occasional dress parade is all that will be expected from them.
