The committee received it's first news of
the death of gallant Colonel Hawkins
while still on the road and the first thing
it did, upon arriving last night was to
meet, late as the hour was, and pass reso-
lutions of sympathy and coincidence.
Beyond taking care of their boys in
general way the committee has made no
plans Tor their entertainment while mere.

State upon which they have conferred so
much honor.
The committee says that the railroads
something toward the welcome home
fund. They have made special rates
WHICH amount to the equivalent of
so oo0 present and from Chicago
will travel on a pass. The only road
which failed to give something was the
Southern Pacific, which. looking at the
matter from strictly business point of
view, maintains regular rates.
Upon arriving at New Brighton, the first
town they stop at within the limits of
their native State, the entire regiment

The Relief was sighted very early in the

quarantine officers. she was examined
in the forenoon. and about y o clock the
steamer Caroline was chartered to take
the men from the vessel to the Preside
wharf. where every vehicle the post could
muster was waiting to take them to the
hospitals. The State tug Governor IRWIN
took out the Mayor, number of officers
Of the Red Cross Society, a band and
load Of fruit. The Mayor gave CHEEKY
greeting to the invaids and the band
played its liVelieSt and lOudest, while the

everything was running smoothly. He
said he was not going TO have any trou-

personally. He wasn't sure about the
amount of fruit the men consumed. but
he thought if any harm followed it would
be nothing serious, so the men pegged
away at the fruit pile as long as there
was anything in sight.
There were about thirty helpless pa
