The Second Brigade.

Saturday night the second battalion, com.
posed of companies II, B, D and of the First
Regiment Infantry, were under recent in-
structions of Colonel Smith ordered out for
battalion drill under command of Major Sine.
Companies B and D made good showing, nu-
merically, but the other two companies were
mere skeletons The battalion was taken TO
Van Ness avenue where they were drilled in
close order movements. Generally the men
made goOd showing, but there was a great
deal OF taking in the ranks and lack OF preser-
walton OF company front while moving in
double time, and in many instances the dis
tances was not good, but these faults were
drawn to tie attention of the proper officers
and before the drill was over there was a
marked Improvement
Colonel Fairbanks and other officers of the
Fifth Regiment lett this city on Saturday Tor
Santa cruz to inspect several sites that nave
been off fered AS suitable Tor the encampment
that the regiment will hold.
At the NEE ting OF the board of officers held
last Thursday night at the armory OF the Firs t
Infantry IL was decided that from and after
the 1st of next July the regiment should drill
under the new reg ulations prescribed for the
United States army. The adjutant-general
has promised to furnish the new regula tions
be fore that time.
After the vacation in the Lowell High School
there will be change in the officers of the
Cadet Corps,
member OF Company of the First Regi-
ment, who evidently hurriedly read what was
published last Tn ursday in regard to Com
pany decorating the graves of its deceased
m members, writes: ''1n this mornings issue of
the San Francisco CALL l read that there
was only one company in the National Guard
that remem bered its dead on Memorial day.
Now, in justice TO Company d, formerly COM
manded by Captain r. A. Marshall, deceased
but now under command of Captain Thomas
McCreagh, would ike to say that on Decora-
tion day the company went TO Holy Cross Gem
etery and to Odd Fellows Cemetery, decorated
the graves of deceased mbers and fired a
volley over the grave of their late captain"
If the member of Company d had read the
article published carefully he would have
noticed that il asserted that Company B,
First Regiment, claims 10 be the only COM
pany of the National Guard of California
whose members regularly decorate the graves
of their departed comrades" If any other
company regularly decorates the graves of its
deceased comrades this department Will
gladly make the announcement.

PARK HAS A NEW PET,
The Walls of the Museum An
mex Will Be Completed
Early This Week.
There Was an Esp .ciaIly Cool Pro-
gramme of Music YaSterI Iay-The
March of the Stars"

Golden Gate Park has a new attraction
this week which will be of especial inter
est to the children. 1t is a beautiful b. ably
elk of which its mamma is very fond and
proud.
The walls of the Park Museum annex
are nearly completed, and the outer por-
tion of the building will be finished early
this week. The chimney for the new
furnace is being built on the hill in the
rear of the museum in order to add to its
height economically. The draught will
pass up to it through tun mel on the hill
side.
a very large crowd was attracted to the
music stand yesterday by an especially
good programme. One of the pieces most
appreciated was the ''March of the Stars, 4"
composed by Miss Gertrude SpeIan,
which was played last week and was yes-
terdaY repeated by request.
Carator WiIcomb is making a cole ctIon
OF California pine cones. He has been
prom sed some line specimens. The VIC
toria Regia in the conservatory Is flourish
ing and promises grand blooming soon.
Diving for silver coins again furnished
fine sport for the youths at the Sutro
baths yesterday. There was a new fea-
ture on the programme called "waIkinR
under water contest." Each man had to
carry fifty-pound dumbbells on his trip
and bring these to the surface at the finish
to prove that he had not been swimming
instead of walking. The walking on the
Sunday will be tried again as a special
performance. Professor Baker of Aus.
tralia performed some difficult feats under
waller.
George Young of corner Sutter and
Baker streets was painfully in jured in tt e
park by kick from horse. The resuli
was badly confused leg, but the hurt is
not DANGEROUS

The Electrical Piano.

A piano on an entirely new principle is
announced from Germany. The strings
are stretched across the sounding board
as in the ordinary piano. but the entire
hammer mechanism is absent. Instead.
the depressing of the key puts in action q
magnet, which automatically attracts and
releases the wire, thus prod ucing vibra-
tions without the metallic stroke VII ch
accom- panies the sound in the common
type. The resulting effect upon the tones
is said to be very remarkable. The high
notes resem m BILE those of an Eolian harp.
The middle and lower notes are like a
cello or an organ. 1t responds readily to
every variation in power and expression.
A note can be sounded for several minutes
without varying IL quality. So radically
different from all existing instruments
are the effects that new style of music is
needed to bring out its capabilities.

The Naval Resarra-

The Naval Reserve in this City was mus tered
and inspected last Tuesday by Colonel Potts
and Colonel Edwsrds, Major-General James
being present. After muster and inspection,
which was ashore, there was battalion drill,
during which the men made a very creditable
showing and drilled well. There was a very
good numerical showing at muster.
The necessary arrangements are being made
for the cruise TO be taken next month. The
divis on at inta Cruz will come to this City
and join in the cruise.
There will shortly be an election for execu-
tive, navigating and ordnance officer, and it is
expected that before the cruise the engineer
CORPS will be organized.
Last week the engines of the Comanche were
turned over for the purpose of Rscertaining il
the vessel was in condition to be used for the
cruise. The old vessel was found to work sat
isfactOrily.

who are canvassing for new subscriptions
or collecting those made last year, are
each provided with credentials signed by
Rolla V. Watt and G. u Merritt, chair
men of the committee of '97 and OF the
subcommittee on finance, respectively
1t is the wish of the committee that ever V
one who is asked to subscribe to this fund
should inspect these credentials as a safe
guard against imposition by unauthorized
persons. They also desire that payments
be made by check to the order of William

Contributions to the Chris
tian Endeavorers' Big
Convention.
Still a Considerable Amount to
Be Collected to Insure
Its Success.
Every Cent Given 10 This Object
Will Be an Advertisement to
the State.

In twenty-five days the streets of this
City will be crowded with visitors, who
will come from the North, South, East
and even the West to attend the great
International Christian Endeavor con-
vention.
For nearly year the local Endeavorers
have been planning and working to give
the visitors hearty reception and en- ter
tain them in a manner worthy Of Cali
fornia's proverbial hospitality. All who
attend the convention will pay their own
expenses while in the City, and it has been
estimated that from q financial point of
view the CITY will profit to the extent OF
fully $500, 900. 1t is impossible, however,
to estimate the value OF the convention
from an advertising standpoint. The
committee OF '97 have sent out nearly half
q million circulars, letters and posters ad-
vertising the State, its wonderful elm ate,
flowers and fruits, offering a tempting in
ducement TO the Eastern people who are
either feeling the effects OF a blizzard or
being scorched by the heat. A. present it
is hardly possible TO look over the adver-
tising pages of any magazine without
reading of the special rate of SIS from
Chicago to California which is ''open to
ALL"
Thanks to the $500 Endeavorers who
have gwen their serv ces freely in order
10 receive and entertain the visitors, the
committee of '97 will need only acout $25,
600 to cover the expenses of meeting
places, advertising, speakers, etc, just
about one-fourrh the amount usually
asked to entertain other conventions of q
similar size. Much of this amount was
pledged last year, but there is still con-
siderable sum to be collected and
pledged before the S25, 900 mark is reached
and there is but little time in which to
do 1t.
The following is partial list of the col
lections. which will be completed as the
work progresses:

A treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States wi! be sent to the
Senate soon after the return of the Presi-
dent, unless present plans are altered.
The treaty has been written and ali its
details were fully agreed upon before the
President and Secretary Sherman left for
the South. There IS no doubt, it is said,
of the Presidents acquiescence in the
terms OF the treaty, for the reason that he
was made fully aware OF them before he
left. The treaty is ON the general lines of
the treaty negotiated during the Admins
tratiGI u. President Harrison and with
drawn by President Cleveland. 1t pro-
vides FOR annexation without the exaction
of conditions on the part OF the Hawaiians
as to tie form OF government to be vouch
sa:ed ~ Hawai-, leaving that question to
be entirely disposed of by the Govern
ment Gt the United States The United
States viii agree, however, to assume the
debt OF the present Hawaiian Govern
ment, but viii come into possession Of
possessions. Senators have received de-
finite Information concerning the exis-
tence Of the treaty and are well acquaint-
ed with its terms, though they refuse to
discuss the matter, having received the
inforLla;ioa III confidence. The know
ledge OF the existence OF the treaty has
been communicated to members of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and
also to members OF the Finance Com
mittee. In the Republican caucuses the
subject Of The treaty hal been limited at
but only in a vague manner. Senators
asserted that there We're in progress
negotiations looking to the am eyation b 1t
they would not ever thatthey knew a treaty
had been drawn, nor would they give
any assurance that it would soon be sent
to the Senate.
