DISTINCTIVE FEATURES PROPOSED

BERKELEY Aug. 2O.-Can the Uni
versity of California be represented n he
monster Parade which is to welcome the
California boys home from Manila? This
is the question which is now being dis
cussed by the Berkeley collegians There
is general opinion that the university
ought to take part in the reception. but
the way In which it could be carried out
is troubling the college men.
The executive committee of the Asso-
ciated Students recommended to the
faculty that the university regiment of
cadets be called out to march in the pro-
session. The cadet battalion. however.
will not be organized until the occasion
for the display has passed, ard at the
suggestion Of Professor Frank Soue, the
idea OF military showing has been given
up.
There is another way left however, and
it Is that all the students appear decked
in the strangely battered top hats which
custom dictates that the, upper class of
the university should affect. The hats
together with college yells would make up
something. distinctive of the State INF
versity. Many of the students are eager
to carry out the plan

rs Mr. Gage going to participate in the
of Grand Marshal Pistolesi.
His spokesman, the adjutant general,
previous TO his departure volunteered to
answer the question. The Governor would
probably be in the parade, and would have
been pleased to go mounted, but he was
unable to secure fiery steed to his liking,
and so he would ride in q carriage and
expected the parade committee to provide
him with one.
THE question of a mount has been set
tled,' said Mr.. Pistoles. General Shafter
is going TO supply us with all we need
This exploded one of the Gage excuses,
and his military representative rushed to
the rescue.
Besides we are unofficially Informed
that there will be fireworks during the
night parade, and the Governor is afraid
might become scared and he would get
hurt" and General Seamans never blushed
for the timidity Of the communicable
chief of the State militia.

HOMECOMING OF THE FIRST,

new rifles that glistened in the sunlight with
a silken flag that foated proudly in the free
air above them. they marched down Market
street amid the roll of drums and tear-filied
eyes and aching hearts. They were gone but
our hearts went with them. In the cheeriess
camp on the weary marches, in the hour OF
battle we were with them. Nor had they for

bring them to San Francisco in order that
they might participate in the parade
that It was very evident to me that there
was a wide difference between the Gov
errors wishes in the matter and the ar
rangements Of this committee. So far as
the naval parade are concerned | made #
most clear that this committee had no
jurisdiction over the matter: that that
was something to be controlled by the
commodore commanding the naval pa
rade. While | was not authorized to
speak for the commodore | felt that he
would insist upon his regulations being
carried out. The gentleman stated that it
was The Governors intention to meet the
transport first and welcome the troops
and he did not care to be incumbered by
a tow. In the interest of harmony / re-
quested that the gentleman appear before
this committee and submit his pro-
mittee would insist upon their rights in
the matter and while they would con-
cede any reasonable point. they were not
willing to be dictated to by the Governor
or his representative at a time when our
arrangements had been all made IT
have made known his wishes at an
earlier date.
Mr.. Seamans-The next proposition was
as to che position of the Governor and
National Guard in the military parade
on the day of the landing of the return
ing volunteers from the Philippine ISL
ands. That Is determined between the
and the Governor of the State. Mr.. Mar
tin stated to. me that the COMMITTEES
would like to know what had been deter
mined First, as | understand it. the
United States military authorities will
furnish an escort from the regular army,

ground that it would interfere with the
plans of this committee; that while | had
no doubt that this committee would
yield as far as possible to the Governor
or his representatives if their wants were
made known. L felt that this committee
would tolerate no interference at the
eleventh hour, especially when it was pro-
ranged by conference between the com

The general appeared before the com
mittee on the invitation of Committeeman
W. j. Martin whom he had consulted
earlier in the day and who was so
astounded with the information he i'm
parted that he thought it wise to turn
him over to the committee. When the
conference was concluded the Governor s
emissary was thoroughly convinced that
there were others. The general started
out with the astonishing announcement
that Governor Gage was not satisfied
with the arrangements that had been
made for the celebration. Mr. Gage did
not propose to allow the State tug, Gov
ernor Markham. to take part in the naval
parade If it had to tow yacht. Mr..
Gage did propose that the military par
ade in the city should be arranged ac-
cording to his ideas.

that the Secretary of the Treasury
with the approval OF the administra-

to issue all IL 8 paper money in use
making the assets OF these institutions
responsible tor their redemption,
usually spittoons and bank furniture.
Then come the business failures
in which the losses for each are over
$500, 900, OF this class there are but
twenty four. The entire failures in
business were II ,638 for the year, en-
tirely too many to list in th 3 pages OF
