MILITARY REVIEW.
Second Brigade, N. G. C., Parade
Before King Kalakaua.

Considered as q spectacle only, the re-
view last evening by King Kalakaua at the
Pavilion of the city troops of the Second
Brigade, N. G. c., was a pleasing succe sss.
The King was conspicuous in civilians at
tire, attended by the members of his per-
sonal retinue in gorgeous uniforms, Admiral
Brown of the Charleston and his staff and
Major General w. H. Dimond and staff,
Brigadier-Ge General John T. Cutting and staff
and the battalion commanders joining the
party after the ceremony.
The numerical showing by the three hat
talions was not what it might have been, but
the difficulty in having men to attend to
military matters during the month Of De-
cember has been recognized by the Legisla-
ture, which has done away with all drills
during the season prior to the holidays
The brigade numbered little less than 1000
and the march in review wa0 led by Gen.
eral Cutting and staff, which latter made a
very ragged salute at the reviewing stand.
The Third Infantry Band was at the head
of the troops, the Signal Corps having the
right of line. l: was in two platoons of six
teen flies front. and in its orange trimmings
and with clanking sabers made fine show

throughout given admirably. The Second
Artillery, in white helmets aud with red
trimmings. numbered eighteen platoons, not
all equalized, the Light Battery, dismouEted

presented nineteen platoons. The Hussars,
with clanking sabers aud in their yellow

were represented by two plntoons and 9

have made up another platoon.
The march through the Pavilion by COL

assembled notab!es, while the band played

At the instance of Rev. J. S. Reed mum.
Der of gentlemen met on the 10th ut. at the
Occidental Hotel to take measures for urg-
ing upon the city officials the necessity of

proach of winter. There were present:
Archbishop Riordan, Rev. j. S. Reed, Rev.
DIR. Stebbins, Rev. DR.. Voorsanger, Messrs.
Oliver Eldridge, J. c. Moore, A. FL. Lough-
borough, F. L. Wooster, J. NJ. Burnett,
Charles A. Sumner, Ira p. Rankin, r. Bal
four, Judge Sullivan and Major Hooper A
number of other prominent names are men,
toned as interested in the movement.
Archbishop Riordan was called to the
chair, and X. Balfour appointed Secretary.
The following committee was appointed TO
visit the AlmshOuSe and confer with the
Supervisors and other public officials with
regard to the reforms proposed: Messrs.
Rankin, Kelly, Moore, Davis and Gibbs.
Rev. DR.. Stebbins, Rev. DR.. Voorsanger.
Rev. DR.. Reed, Father Montgomery. and
Messrs. Barnett, Hooper and Eldridge were
constituted a committee 10 submit sugges-
tons as TO the work in view, and the desir-
ability Of going into permanent OrganiZa-
ton.
Last night the gentlemen again convened
at the same place to hear the various re-
ports. Archbishop Riordan presided. and
Mr.. Balfour acted as Secretary.
Mr.. Gibbs, as Chairman of the committee
of which he is member, reported progress
and read several bids Of prominent houses
for the proposed work, which consists chiefly
in providing heating appaIati Tor the Aims
house. 1t was also made known that other
bids would be forthcoming, and resolution
was adopted placing full power In the
hands of the committee to select such plans
and propositions as it may deem advisable.
The bone of contention hinges upon the
question of heating, whether it shall be by
hot air or water. The question of expense
Is considered OF secondary Importance, as
the improvements are intended to be effectual
and lasting.
How the money is to be raised formed
topic for discussion, and 1t was decided that
a committee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Kelly, Balfour and Rev. DR.. Voorsanger,
should canvass the city on that behalf.
The depl0rable condition Of the County
Jail WAS referred TO, but Mr.. Gibbs main
tained that the provisions of San Francisco
Tor Its poor were superior to those of any
other city in the United States, and that
the jail should not be made so comfortable
as tU invite warrants to it as winter resi-
dence. No action was taken regarding this
question.
Thanks were extended to Major Hooper
for the use Of the hotel parlor.
The bank OF D0nOhoe. Kelly & Co. was
designated as the depository Of the funds
collected.
The provision of hall for worship and a
library was also mentioned as decided me-
cessity.
An adjournment was taken to the call of
the Chair.

men assert that while England's maritime
laws are constantly becoming more humane,
those OF this country are retrograding. 1t
is proposed to secure copies of all the mari
time laws of the world and give them to
bill that will be complete and suitable
substitute for the existing laws of the
Union. When the bill is prepared it will be
