the Governors staff, consisting of Gen. eral Barrett, Major General Dickinson and staff, Brigadier General Warfield and staff, Captain Turner, Lieutenant w. F. Burke and Lieutenant Comman- der Nerny and Surgeon F. w. Harris of the naval militia. All these reviewing officers, occupying carriages, brought up the rear of the column, taking a front position later on.
 AS the volunteers swung into Golden Gate avenue the crowd became denser and more demonstrative.
 Market street was reached at about 9:30, and that thoroughfare was found packed with mass of eager and patri- otic humanity. It was with considera- ble difficulty that the procession forced passage way. Vehicles of all descrip- tions, loaded with men, women and children, here and there almost entirely blocked the street. Even the tops of the street cars, which had been stopped, were crowded with men and boys. Telegraph and tele- phone poles were alive with boys, and not a place where it was possible to ob- tain view was vacant. Never has there been in the history of San Fran cisco such an outpouring of people, nor has there ever been more enthusiasm and patriotism shown
 There was an immense jam in the vii cinity of The Call building, where the regiments turned down Third street, and on toward the steamer. Although the column had been narrowed to fours it was obliged to push and squeeze through the surging mass.
 
 thusiasm and apparent rejoicings- more characteristic of a gala day than of the initial steps of an earnest and dangerous mission-there were many touching and pathetic scenes, indica- tive of strong undercurrent of tender feeling from depressed hearts. There was no lack of womans tears-the tears of mother, wife, daughter, sister and sweetheart. Before the dock was reached there was a host in that vast jostling crowd who realized that per haps the last fond embrace, the last sweet kiss, the final parting had come. Here and there a devoted woman had pressed herself into the ranks to walk along with the man she loved, holding him by his hand and saying the fare we'll words, every now and then wiping away the tears from her bedimmed eyes. There were scenes of family sep arations that brought the heart or every man into his throat
 Denser and more congested even than the gathering at Third and Market streets was the crowd at the foot of Bryant street the point of embarka- ton. In reaching the gate of the Pa cific Mail Steamship Company's dock the soldiers had to force their way through a very narrow path, first form ing two abreast and finally going in single file. As each company marched by it was greeted with rousing cheers and inspiriting music. Finally, at about II o'clock, they had all passed into the dock and were soon on board the steamer City of Picking, thus closing the first act in the realistic drama of war, in which they are now engaged.

Next was the Signal Corps, consisting of twenty-five mount ed men, with Lieutenant Hughes in command; and then came troop of twenty-five National Guard cavalry men under Captain Burnett. These two mounted bodies formed a squadron, in command of Captain Perkins of the National Guard. The naval militia men and the cavalry opened ranks and allowed the regiment to pass through, the signal corps afterward going to the front.
 Between Clay and Washington streets the regiment was reviewed by

Stationed at the corner of Lombard street and Van Ness avenue were one hundred picked policemen to act as escort to the vanguard. The policemen were divided into eight platoons, whose movements were directed by Captain Spillane and Lieutenant Anderson and Sergeants Donovan, Shay, Coogan, Harper and Baldwin.

 Chief of Police Lees now swung his men into line at the head of the column, which proceeded slowly along the ave- nue.
 By this time the broad thoroughfare was lined with people, who were early astir to witness a military event long to be remembered in the annals of San Francisco and California The side walks, the porches, the windows and the house tops were crowded with spec tators and there was continuous cheer

 He was a handsome little fellow of perhaps four years, perched high on a pile of baggage on the gloomy old Mail dock, and eagerly he scanned the faces lined up along the rail of the big troop ship, quite oblivious of his mamma and sister who stood by his side, or the clat- ter and hubbub on the dock behind him.

REPLY OF WANAMAKER.
Question at Issue Attacked
Quay.

WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa, Sept. 2.--The
presence Of John Wanamakef and Rev,
DIR. Swallow attracted moro than 30, 900
people to this place yesterday. The ex-
postmaster general confined himself, in
his speech, mainly to pointing out the
evils of the Quay machine, setting forth
in detail its allies as being the corpora
lions and national and state officehold-
ers. He believed the only way to bring
about smaller taxes on farms and the
building OF better roads was the de-
struction OF the machine. He SAID that
in a period of 20 years $5,000,000 of the
state S money had been squandered.
Mr.. Wanamaker replied in closing to
the statement made by State Chairman
John p Elkin Briefly summarized the
speaker disposed of Mr.. Elkins utter
ances by declaring that he had evaded
the real questions at issue. He said
that personal abuse would not affect
him; that no compromise capsule could
be stuffed down his throat; that with
him there was no turning back. His
taxes were paid and any connection
with the defunct keystone bank OF
Philadelphia was brought about by over
confidence i'll one of its officials whom
he believed worthy until he had been
shown TO be otherwise.
Rev. Dr. >. .. swallow followed, the
chief feature of his address being an
invitation 10 Senator Quay TO bring suit
against HIM for an article published in
the New DIRK Voice, the national organ
of the Prohibition party.
