San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The docking

accompanied by the blowing of steam
sirens and the ringing of bells. An
impressive silence prevailed through
out the operation, in spite of the fact
that. thousands of people thronged the
docks TO witness the landing of the

Pennsylvania regiment from the Phil

no cheering as the vessel made fast to

hung at half mast out of respect to the
hero of two wars.
Later in the day a detachment Of
soldiers carried the casket containing
the remains from the transport to "a
waiting hearse- Heads were barred and
not a few of the Pennsylvania boys
shed tears as the coffin was silently
placed in the hearse to be taken to a
local undertaker's establishment. A
detachment Of eleven men and an Of
ficer escorted the hearse through the
streets of the city. There was no other
military demonstration, but Il guard

Demonstration by Children.
c. r. Savage advanced a proposition
to have the children of the city en-
masse at some point along the parade
march. He was of the opinion that it
would be very beautiful sight. and
one which the soldiers, who have been
so long away from the presence of lit
tie children and the sound of their
voices. would heartily appreciate. The
matter was referred to the committee
on parade.
Protection For italian Flag.
Charles Bonetti. president of the
Italian society, was present at the
meeting. He said that his organiza-
ton had applied for a place in the
parade, and he wanted to ask that pro-
lection would be given the Italian flag.
On a former occasion in Butte. in
which an Italian flag was carried, there
was considerable of a rumpus raised,
and the flag was shot at. Mr. Bonetti
asked that such thing be not allowed
to happen on this occasion. THE So
ciety of which 1 am president he
said, has sent to sunny Italy for their
native flag. l am having an American
flag made. The society will carry their
Italian flag alongside of my American
flag" Governor Wells assured him
that protection would be accorded the
societys flag.
A few other matters came before
the meeting. 1t was decided to trans
fer all the returned volunteers in Utah
TO and from Salt Lake at the expense
of the general fund. 1t was also de-
cided to have 1,500 programmes litho-
graphed. with the names of the volun-
teers. the welcoming committee and
the banquet menu thereon. 1t was de-
cided that the soldiers will return from
Ogden via Oregon Short Line.

Result of Storm In the Western Mis-.
sissippi Valley.

st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. 2.-Reports re-
ceived here by wire from nearly all of
the grain growing states in the western
Mississippi valley indicate that i'm
measurable and widespread damage to
crops has been done in the last twenty
four hours by hail and wind.
The states that have suffered the
most are Minnesota, South Dakota and
Nebraska. No accurate figures on the
total damage can be made, but it is
conservative enough to say that fully
100000 acres of richly fruited crops
have been leveled by the storm. Not
only one cereal, but all of the various
kinds that are particularly exposed to
wind and hail. met injury.
Corn was crushed or torn up alto
gether, unharvested wheat was flat
tened and wide strips Of country cut
down.

The Boys All Doing Well.

The Utah people here are doing all
they can to make the boys feel at
home. Mrs. Wedgwood received a num-
Der of boxes of peaches from Utah
county today. She sent them out to the
Provo recruits. who very generously
divided up with their comrades, and
everybody had d taste of Utah fruit.

the boys down to San Jose for a day or
two if they can get away. No difficulty
is anticipated in securing a brief leave
OF absence. and a nice outing is in store
Tor some of the batterymen. All of the
utahns who are sick in the Preside
hospital are reported as getting along
nicely. Lieutenant Gibbs was not able
TO rejoin his command today, as was
expected, but he will be out again with
in two or three days a the outside.
Major Grant expects the muster out
10 occur within two or three weeks.
Like the other officers and men he
strongly approves of the special train
idea. Unless the troops are taken home
IN body, Major Grant thinks a dem
onstration of any kind will be imprac-
teal.
There was another lot of high jinks
IN camp today when the big bundle of
Heralds arrived. The boys went after
them with the keenest avidity, and read,
every line from the front page to the
want ads. They seem to appreciate

vassed the city yesterday and swelled
considerably the reserve fund The
amount secured was s4O7, bringing the
total, including the council appropria-
ton. to s7,161.50. AS the committee
must have $4,000, it can be seen that
there is nearly $4,000 yet to be sub
scribed, which the committee is con-
fident will be forthcoming in few
days. The merchants have responded
very generously thus far to the re-
quests of the committee. and those
who are working on the movement
think they will furnish the $1,000 still
necessary to properly carry on the re-
ceotion.
Every dollar thus far subscribed has
come from Salt Lake City. No con-
tribution from an outside town has
been heard from.
