On hoard a the biff steamer comes through the Golden tiate a whole day before the anxious onea on shore can communicate In any other Tray ft 1th the soldier boys ANYTHING were lacking to make the welcome home of the California volunteers hearty and unanimous that lack has been supplied by the determination of the members of the State Legislature tqgo out In abodyonasteamepivhlchjato be known for the occasion as the State boat and in the name ot the State to greet the returning soldiers Miller Assemblyman from the Fortieth district after reading of the enthusiasm shown by all portions of the State thought that some action even though It must of necessity be unof flclal might be taken by the members of the State Legislature and yesterday laid the matter before Judge Dibble Senator Burnett and Assemblyman Cobb all of horn approved It was arranged that a meeting should be called for this ev enlng in Cobbs office in the Parrott building and in the meantime Miller saw Senator Perkins who placed at the disposal of the lawmakers the steamer Santa Rosa with a carrying capacity of about 600 Assembljman Miller at once communicated with all the members of the Legislature liv ing in the bay counties and obtained their promise to ha present at the meeting while Assemblymen Mellck ofPasadeua and Beecher of Shasta agreed to remain in the city for the celebration It is proposed to establish headquarters at some hotel and entertain the out of town members and their friends It is expected that the great array of brass bands will be a feature of the reception and parades From many por Ions of the State communications are being receH ed offering the services of bands The Bakersfleld Bandwrote yesterday to the executive committee offering to come here twenty one strong Information as desired as to whether transportation could be furnished The matter was referred to the parade committee The executive committee withdrew the request that local musicians donate their services for the celebration on receiving a communication from the Musicians Upion stating that the musicians have already given services worth 1000 and that as most of the members depended on their art for a livelihood they could not be expected to forego remunerative engage mnts out of patriotic Impulses Differ ent organizations that wifl parade have their own bands and with those tha volunteer others that are paid and many from out of town it Is probable that there will be more than 1000 must clans and perhaps 1500 in the monster procession The committee may decide to have all the musical organizations assemble at some time during the fee tlvltles and give a grand concert Great pressure having been brought to bear upon the committee yesterday to change the line of march it was agreed that it should be as follows From Van Nes avenue down Market the ferry countermarching up Market to Montgomery to California to Kearny to Market tp Van Ness Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the meeting of the finance eonimlttee over the refusal ot some prominent hotel men and merchants on Market street west of Sixth to contribute to the fund and the parade committee will be asked to have the procession go out Golden Gate avenue Preparations for the bay demonstration are progressing enthuslastlcallypn the water front It Is especially requested by the committee In charge that ery shipowner and master have his vessel decorated with paper lanterns to heighten the general effect The confi nittee in charge of the night demonstration Is happy because It has received a liberal appropriation from the executive committee for fireworks It had an able champion In A Lawrence and their enthusiasm was such that Mr Martin aidt It would be cruel to deny this reauestV feacks full of gold coin wre

street Hallwajr Company The smallness of the check Surprised us We considered It an affront to the corn mlttee and to the people of San Francisco It is the desire of your committee to know What action jou wish to take in regard to It There is no doubt said Mr Law rencethatsthe check is about one tenth as large as it should be It ought to be returned with the statement that it is inadequate Aside from the fact that such Art I event brings a large number of people to the city to the pront oi tne street railways said Mayor Phelan it should bet remembered that there will be 30000 soldiers here who will remain several weeks before they will be mustered out and they will learn of any jack of patriotism on the part of this and other corporations The railway company may see the business policy

When this reception Is overlhe blaxe othunareds ot thousands of electric Uslrts Is turned oft and the wires are taken down the green of the palm and redwood fades and they too are removed and we have left the memory of a grand display a triumphal procession But even this memory will fade as the hearts which cherish It cease tn beat Something more permanent something which even the hand of Time will be forced to spare for untold generations should tell those yet unborn that the Calif orrtians of to day appreciate the pa triotism and self sacrifice of her sons who1 sprung to war when their
