THE WOUNDED.
The Emergency Hospital Doctors Busy Treating
 Powder Burns.

Considering the cause for more than usual enthusiastic celebration of the day it was no wonder that the Emergency Hospital surgeons were kept busy reliev- ing the sufferings of patriots wounded by powder explosions and excessive en- thusiasm.
 The first case treated was that of David Barry, n015 Morris avenue. He was walking along Folsom street and at Sixth a boy came out of doorway and fired a toy pistol into his face, the bullet strik- ing his upper lip and inficting an ugly wound.
 William Mcdonald, a boy living at 1217 Howard street, was firing off a toy can non when it exploded in his right hand badly wounding it. His brother Fred took possession of the cannon, but pre- mature explosion burned his face badly and he had also to seek help in the hos pital.
 Willie Hoff, 12O Converse street, allowed his toy cannon to explode in his left hand and the index finger was nearly severed. Rudolph Anderson, 125 Locust avenue, had the fingers of his left hand badly burned by the premature explosion of a toy cannon, and Willie Bolger, s Boyd street, and Joe Merk, b Brosnau street were burned about the face, hands and eyes by the premature explosion of fire crackers.
 William Flynn, 317 Tehama street, was foonng with revolver when it exploded and the bullet lodged in his left hand. It was extracted by Dr. Rinne at the hos pital.
 E. G. Regholz, a member of Company G, Washington Volunteers, stationed at Angel Island, was the most seriously in- jured of the many brought in A A flat tened bullet was extracted from his left side. The wounded volunteer stated that he was walking down Larkin street with E. Harris and when he reached Geary street he felt something strike him. Placing his hand in his blouse he dis covered a lump and went into a near by drug store to be examined. It was then ascertained that he was wounded and he went to the Receiving Hospital. The bull let bore evidence of having struck some thing hard and glancing off entered his body.
 John Walsh, living at Walsh street, visited the Southern station and com plained of being stabbed by Matt Null cahey, who lives in the same house with him. He was taken to the Receiving Hos pital. where a slight knife wound was found on him.
 Martie Boyle, 1171A Perry street, suf- fered a fracture of the jaw, due to the explosion of a toy cannon.
 Ed Doerers, a small boy living at POS Val ley street, was treated for powder burns about the hand. Elma Harr. 6 Grove

ing the course of his remarks by bursts of applause. He spoke in part as follows
 What Is the mission of the American re- public? Have we understood it? Are we full filling it?
 Its mission is intelligibly written in every hour of it's history. It Is the child of battle freedom. The minds, the hearts. the souls. the life from which it drew its being were afiane with the love of freedom. Freedom was the predominant passion of it's pro- genitors. Its very being is but the embodi- nent of the triumphant assertion of the right of freedom. Its youth was nursed at the breast of freedom. It developed into lusty manhood through the vitalizing energy of the spirit of freedom Twice in the span of it's career it has been summoned to wrest from obstinate despots at fearful cost the freedom of enthralled and misgoverned peoples.
 On every sod that our feet have pressed and on every that our ship of state has mounted from TIC to '9S. from Trenton to Manila from Washington to Dewey, our com mission has been plainly written-the Ameri- can republic. the custodian of freedom guard. grow in, give freedom.
 We responded to the call of Cuba like a na- ton that was simply resting it's arms wait ing for the summons. The call for volunteers transformed us into one vast army. The heart of every citizen is mustered in. The amazing spectacle is shown the world of millions of in angry contest for the privilege of fighting in the cause. Our fields are tented

line were the Independent Rifles, San Francisco Turner Section, and the Aus trian Military Company
 Reveille was sounded at Camp Merritt at half-past 1 and in the gray of the morning men were hurrying to and fro preparing for the duties of the day. The various regiments were marched to the foot of Market street at an early hour and there was no confusion as the hour ap- preached for the start of the parade.
 The streets filled slowly. A heavy fog in the morning gave the day a dull, sullen appearance and detracted from the usual holiday gayety of the scene. Before 10 dissipated the mists. By this time the streets were filled with holiday makers, and the decorations made the city look it's best.
 Grand Marshal Alfred A. Borlini with his aids took up their station at Market and Main streets. The various divisions were placed in their allotted stations without confusion and shortly after 10 Claus Spreckels building belched forth the signal for the parade to start. Hardly had the sound died away than the strident tones of a bugle were heard signaling the advance. With the grand marshal were the following:

PATRIOTS ALL.
Appropriate Speeches and Music at MetrO-
 pOlitan Hall.

The literary exercises held at Metropol- tan Hall in the afternoon were attended by fully 2500 people and many were un- able to gain entrance. The programme was carried out in a manner that reflected great credit on the committee ana those who participated.
 After an overture of patriotic selections by J. D. Hynes' orchestra, Grand Marshal A. A. Borlini in a brief speech of thanks for the honor conferred on him intro duced Joseph E. O'Donnel, president of the day. President O'Donnell said that it was with feelings of patriotic pride that he assumed the position of president of the celebration. He thanked the commit tee of one hundred for the assistance giv- en him and then feelingly referred to the California Volunteers who were celebrat- ing the birth of our country's independ ence many thousand miles away.
 America said he in conclusion. "kas been the preceptor of the world in the lesson of freedom. Toward the close of the last century, when yet but crippled colony, it's struggle for freedom and the glorious achievement Of its independence astounded the world; and now that it has sprung into the attitude of a proud republic prosperous, limitless and 1n- vincbe, 1t will at the close of this century teach another lesson to the world. as well as Spain, that the day of arbitrary power is at an end: that nations ss we'll as individuals lesson which the immortal Edmund Burke read to the English nation when, in his re-
 
 he said: The king has arbitrary power to give, your lordships have not nor the Com mons, nor the whole legislature because ar bitrary power is a thing which neither any man can hold any man can give.
 The God of Battles who watched over our arms in every crisis of countrys history and led our forces successfully through every war land still looks with love on that starry banner which has ever hoated in the holy cause of freedom.
 Miss Daisy V. Keane sweetly sang "Co- lumbia' and being encored rendered "Our Grand Old Flag, written by Mrs. E. l. Bronson.
 Mayor James D. Phelan was next called upon for a few remarks. He said that America is to-day pointing with pride to the sons to whom she has given birth. He referred to the glorious victories won by our navy and army in the present war with Spain. "The decisive blow of the war has been given said he, and Amer ican courage and pluck have been vindi- cated All honor to Dewey, Sampson, Shafter and all our heroes. Our American vessels will now be able to ride at anchor in safety in any port in the world"
 w. w. Finnie sang "On to Spain,' and for an encore. "Keep Place in Your Heart for Me"

JOY WAS KING.
A Night of Tumult and Noisy Patriotic EX-
 preSSiOn.

Probably there was not another city in the United States in which there was such tumult of patriotic expression as in San Francisco last evening. From dusk. until the hour of F there was burst of explosions. F'irecrackerS of every degree, torpedoes which seemed to have the dynamic force sufficient to destroy navy, combined in a babel of sound so constant that, heard from the surround ing heights, 1t was an unbroken roar, punctuated here and there by heavier boom when some cannon spoke.
 Across the sky, lowering with fog, there flashed thousands of rockets. Roman can dies shot their bright lights into the air. Fire of every hue lent splendor to the night From the top of the Spreckels building there burned signal lights which must have sent to a great distance infor- nation that the city was celebrating. The sight was beautiful and inspiring.
 Crowds were on all the thoroughfares and they enjoyed the occasion to the ut most. To be sure, crackers went off just under their feet, and rain of sparks was to be expected any minute, but nobody seemed to object. People inclined to ob- feet must have remained at home. The noise anywhere down town was simply deafening. Conversation was carried on with difficulty and in shouts. Men forgot their dignity and ventured to shoot ag- gressive cartridges. Even the women slyly dropped torrpedoes; and laughed to see the effect if anybody manifested signs of being startled, deeming that they had secured a triumph.
 There had been some racket during the day, but 1t was as nothing. The going down of the sun was the signal for pan demonium. There was no rest nor peace, but as nobody was in quest of these su- perhuities there was no complaint. Until midnight the clamOr was unabated, but even then it did not entirely cease. There was a comparative calm, but with all their ardor people had been unable to burn all their fireworks and they kept oh burning The roar died down, but there was still bloom, boOmi' bespeaking a time that some patriots were having. h. deed, the night had nearly passed before silence reisned over the city.

A POOR DISPLAY.

Over 10000 people who. went out to the corner of Clayton and Haight streets to witness the city's display of fireworks re- turned home disappointed. Their disap- pointment was not due to any fault on the part of the committee having the af- fair in charge. The set pieces would not of them went out before they were haN burned. The display of rockets and otheS aerial pieces was the only satisfactory part of the programme. There was nc fog, so the fizzle cannot be charged te that account.
 Colonel T. P. Robinson, chairman of the fireworks committee, said after the so- called display that he was as sorely dis appointed as those who travelled out to see a pyrotechnic display. The excuse of- fered by the manufacturers for the fail- ure was that the set pieces got wet.

THE PARADE.
An Imposing Martial Pa . geant Passes Through
 the Streets.

The parade was the most notable of it's character that has ever passed through the streets of San Francisco. The spirit of war is in the air and has brought out all the patriotism and all the pride of country of united people.
 As a pageant it was brilliant. The massing of volunteer soldiers in this vi- cinity fnade possible a grand display. The mounted troops included the Fourth Cavalry, with it's mounted band; Utah Cavalry. First Troop Cavalry, National Guard of California and the signal corps. The infantry, marching with a steady swing that told of the benefits conferred by camp life, was composed of the Sixth Seventh and Eighth California, First Washington. Twentieth Kansas, First Tennessee and Ftfty-frst Iowa. The hearts of the people who thronged the streets went out to the men so far from their homes. They were greeted with cheers and the waving of flags through out the long line of march. They were made to feel that their self-sacrifice was city s gates they were the adopted sons of the people,
 The reception accorded them was ex- tended also to the veterans of the Mexi- can War, who rode in carriages, and to the veteran firemen. The latter, despite their years of service, sported their red shirts and service helmets and proudly pulled their beloved old engines, relics of the olden days

 The majority of the members of the or ger were attired in picturesque costumes. puckskin and other suits, war paint and feathers, and they presented a very pie turesque appearance, which was height ened by three historical floats.
