Out of respect TO the memory of Colo
mel Hawkins nothing was zone Oh the
transport Senator yesterday. The men
were allowed the freedom of the big Gov
ernment dock. and later many were al
lowed into the city. They slept aboard,
however, and this morning they will
march up Market street, as the others
have done. and the city Will turn out to
welcome them with cheers and whistles
and flags, just as if there never had been
volunteer parade passing along the cob
bles
This morning at 9 o'clock the regiment
will disembark Awaiting it will be three
heavy batteries and one light battery of
the Third Artillery and the regimental
band under command of Captain Sedg-
wick Pratt, Third Artillery, which will
act as escort. In addition the Nebraska
men will turn out and probably the Utah
men, but up to last evening Major Grant
had issued no orders regarding the mat
ter The Oregon regiment has also been
invited to parade, but General Summers
had issued no orders last evening. The
entire escort will form on East street,
each organization with its own band, so
there should be no lack of martial music.
There will also be ten Red Cross ambu-
lances for the weak and infirm. At the
Preside everything is in readiness for
the Pennsylvania men. They Will be
quartered between the Oregon and the
Nebraska men, and all they will have to
do is to take possession. They should be
comfortably quartered before the middle
of this afternoon.
The body of Colonel Hawkins was re-
moved from the transport yesterday at
establishment, where it is being prepared
for burial. 1t has a guard of men from
the regiment constantly watching over 1t,
and when it goes East there will be one
of the officers of the regiment detailed to
accompany it.
The time for the funeral has not yet
held sooner than Saturday, or sunday
Mayor Phelan has offered the use of the
rotunda of the City Hall in which to have
the body lie In state, but his offer has not
yet been accepted. So far the arrange
ments contemplate a funeral service at
the Masonic Temple and an escort OF
troops and Knights Templar.
There will be no successor to the colonel
appointed -, unless present plans be
changed: The regiment is to be IN service
such short time that it has been decided
to be mustered out as a hawkins reSi-
ment,. and the desire of the men in this
direction will probably be granted. ro

Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. who INTENDS
to present it to the State of Pennsylya-

villa, 1776." Another gun and quite a
small one is a little pivot lantaka 1t

as a weapon of defense. The third is an
elaborate1y carved brass piece. also fitted
with a pivot; but neither it nor the little
one carries date or inscription of any
kind. The third gun belongs to Major
Berier. All three guns were purchased by
