over the city, and the Postal Telegraph 8
| cannon began firing salutes. Folsom
street, from the wharf to Market street,
was packed so densely that it was all a
big detachment of police could do to keep
it clear for the passage of the men.
IMPOSING SHOW.
The soldiers presented an imposing ap-
pearance as they moved forward off the
wharf and halted in the street until the
formation could be completed Their blue
uniforms were faded and soiled, but they
told a story of hard campaigning, of bat
ties fought and won, of privation, of suf-
fering and hardships. The faces of the
men have been bronzed by exposure to
the wind and sun almost to a copper hue,
but there was the glow of health on
their cheeks, and their step was springy
and elastic. They looked, in short, like
real soldiers and like the veterans they
are.
The state delegations sent a profusion
of flowers, and these were worn by the
men, pinned on the blanket rolls, in their
belts and protrudng from the muzzles OF
their guns.
By reason of its colonel being the rank
ing officer, the First South Dakota had
the first place in line. AS soon as the
Minnesota men had formed in line, Col.
Frost gave the command, the band struck
up a lively air and the line began it's
march up Market street.
Both regiments were heartily cheered
and flushed with pleasure at the warmth
Of the demonstration. AS the column de-
ployed into Market street, a great cheer
went up, and thousands of spectators
he
necks anxious to get glimpse of the
men who have made record as fight
ers second to no other organization in
the Philippines. Up the street they
came marching in perfect alignment and
greeted by one continuous round of APP
plauSe.
The soldiers were preceded by the
South Dakota delegation, headed by Gov.
Lee and Congressman Gamble, in car
riageS.
THIRTEENTH GREETED.
| Following the Dallotas, but preceded
by those who had come to give them well
come, came the Thirteenth. A number
Of Minnesotans who had come to meet
the men, including the official Mime
apolis committee, arrived this morning
in time to take part in the parade. Among
those in the carriages were: DR.. and
Parks Richie, of st. Paul; Gen c. McC.
Reeve, Stephen B. Lovejoy, S. 7. john
son, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Law, Miss
Lougee and Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Rob-
erts,. of Minneapolis, together with the
wives of many of the officers. The
! Thirteenth was accorded magnificent
nvations and it was evident that its
| friends in this city are legion. Lieut..
| Col Fredrichs was in command.
AS the head of the columns swung into
| Market street the mounted police clear
ed the way, and the Third California
battery, preceded by its band, swung
! into line and began its march as escort.
| They presented the same fine appear
anee with their carefully groomed black
horses and polished guns that rade
them so conspicuous last week when
! they performed a similar duty for the
North Dakotans.
Following the Californians came de-
tachment of regular cavalry superbly
mounted, their trappings glistening in
the rays of the sun. The North Dakota
regiment which at its own request had
been designated as the escort of honor,
was drawn up farther down the street.
PRESENTED ARMS
AS the South Dakotans, led by Col.
Frost and headed by their band came
abreast the North Dakota line, the regt-

position until the last OF the Minnesotans
had passed Then they fell in and the
