B, Schmitz); overture,”Jubel” (Weber): med- ley, “Hawalian Songs” (Koppitz); “Grand American Fantasia” (Herbert); waltz, “Espana” (Waldteufel); Entreact and “Bridal Chorut” from “Lohengrin” (Wag- march, “Stars and Stripes” (Sousa); tion from “King Dodo” (Leuders); Jenediction of the Poigniards” (Meyer- beer); medley of national airs (Bendix). At the golden bauquet an orchestra un- der the leadership of Sir Henry Heyman will discourse sweet music for the white- vested throng. The following letter from General Mac- Arthur has been received by President de Young: Headquarters of the Department of California, Office of the Commanding General, San Francisco, May 9, 1003 Hon. M. H_de Young, President of the Cit- izens' ' Reception Commiittee, San Francisco, Cal—Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform | vou that in accordance with army regulations |1 have appointed Major William E. Birkbimer, Artillery Corps, United States army, artillery inspector of this department, aid-de-camp to the President, to attend him during his visit to San Francisco, and to give him such In- formation regarding the troops, military sta- tions and fortifications as he may desire, and to receive his orders or wishes regarding the same. Major Birkhimer is an officer of wide experience, thoroughly posted concerning the defenses of the harbor and other professional subjects, and his duties being entirely military, 1 bespeak for him your kindly consideration and cordial co-operation. Very respectfully, ARTHUR MACARTHUR, Major General, Army, Commanding. Admiral Glass and his fellow officers of the United States navy will attend the golden banquet, and be arrayed in the | full dress uniform of the service. Colonel Parker West, chief of General MacAr- thur's staff, holds that officers of the army should appear in uniform. General MacArthur, the commanding officer, pre- fers the evening dress of the civilian. No doubt his example will be observed by his brother officers. The ladies agree with Colonel West, and hope that the officers may wear military apparel. George W. Wittman, Chief of Police, issues elaborate instructions to the men under his control. He directs that partic- ular care shall be taken to protect women and children from the crush of crowds, and that they shall be given the prefer- ence in the view of the parades. He aj nounces that the special bodyguard to the E 3 President will consist of Officers H. Hook, J. Tillman, P. Fraher and J. B. Cava- naugh: The mounted carriage guard will consist of Mounted Officers G. A. Mer- chant, C. Arellenas, C. J. Joseph and F. W. French. Regarding the roping of the street, the Chief gives this information: “Along the route of the several street parades and reviews hereinafter set forth, wire rope will be stretched at the curb line, and the police must be assigned to their posts for these events before the | crowds begin to gather, and they must keep the people back of the rope line, so | the route of the parades and reviews will be kept entirely’ clear and free from curb to curb, thus affording the public a clear and unobstructed view of the President and his escort, and preventing, in any manner, any obstruction of or interfec- ence with the marching colum: ——— Substitute for Copper Wire. One of the growing uses of aluminum is as a substitute for copper wire in the transmission of electric power over long distances. Alloyed with one and one-half per cent of copper it is thus used in trans- mitting 12.000 horsepower from the Sno- qualmie Falls to the cities of Tacoma and Seattle, a distance of more than forty miles. This alloy is at the same time 80 light and so strong that spans of 15) feet are safely made, thereby ecffccting a great’saving in the number of poles need. ed on the line. But this applies only to bare conductors. Where insulated cables are recuired the increased diameter the aluminum conductor involves fn- creased cost, and where lead is used for insulation the gain of weight obtained in bare aluminum cables is canceled.
