this expectation of currency. Since the es.

money has been spent on public works.

tlon big and little, from the ocean trans
port to the tiny launch. From eli waved
the flags of greeting, the symbols of what
the city felt. As the interesting hour
neared, the ships left their nOOIings and
their docks. Music, patriotic and eXhlla-
rating, fiOated over the waters of the
bay. Cheers born of the cOntag1on OF
excitement and enthusiasm sounded from
the wharves Now and then came the
booming of a signal gun and the answer
of waving flags and cheers Down the
bay the vessels steamed toward the Gold
en- Gate. The hour Tor the homecoming
of the CalifOrnianS was approaching.
The steamers and other vessels formed
into two lines, leaving an avenue OF clear
water between them Then the sherman
entered the Golden Gate on her hOmeWaru
way and was greeted with the familiar
music of cannon as the forts VOlleyed at
her and the artillery on the shipping
added to the din with their guns. The
Sherman steamed down the aN venue De-
tween the ships. Soldier forms were
clinging to her rigging. Her decks were
black with moving figures. Cheer upon
cheer echoed on the air, and with punctu-
ating precision came the roar OF guns
from the forts. How the greetings were
interchanged between the men on the
Sherman and the men, women and chill
dren on the other vessels cannot be told.
There were cheers, words of love, anx-
iOuS questions and sad answers So the
Sherman came home and the bay added
another chapter Of unique history to Its
annals.
Since then soldiers have been coming
and going at intervals and commerce has
been stimulated by the large business OF
furnishing supplies for the men at the
PresidiO, on the transports and at the
Philippines. Ships that were at first
taken from their regular runs ON the Pa
cffic Ocean were restored to their old
places in many cases, while the Govern

Richard Sweasey, president of the Hum

best known men on the coast. Mining
men, shipping men, investors and seafar-
ing men all know Mr.. SWeaSey, and when
ever he comes to San Francisco there IS
a crowd to meet him. AS head Of the
Humboldt Steamship Company he has
made a great success of that concern and
the corporation is more than on Easy
street.
A new firm on the front that has had
wonderful growth is that of O'Callaghan,

the firm were formerly with Ross & Hew-

M "a Francisco saw something new in
q H it's history Then the First Cali
fornia Volunteers, the Second
Oregon Volunteers, five companies
of the Fourteenth United States Infantry
and a detachment of United States heavy
artillery went out through the Golden
Gate en- route for the Philippines. There
were four vessels in the fleet which bore
the citizen soldiery of California. Oregon,
the regulars of the United States army
and their escort away to the war with
Spain across the width of the broad Pa
cific Ocean. On the City of Peking were
the Californians, who were naturally, be-
ing the sons, husbands and fathers of
San Francisco. in receipt of the greater
share of attention.
The steamers in the fotilla were the
City of Peking, the City of Sydney, the
Australia and the cruiser Charleston. The
latter acted as convoy to the merchant
steamers which emergency had caused to
be metamorphosed into transports for an
American army on a voyage OF conquest
in lands in the southern seas.
The CalifOrnians broke camp at the
Presidio on the 23d of May and marched
down to the Mail dock. San Francisco,
at once proud and fearful, had it's heart
upon it's sleeve that day, as the band
played. the crowds cheered and the rela-
tiyes of the departing soldiers saw the
beginning of the warlike progress of their
nearest and dearest. But when the day
came for the departure through the Gold
en- Gate the spectacle was marltlme.
Local dignitaries of various degrees en-
barked in tugs, and the din OF steam
whistles, hoarsely blown all along the
water front, and the roar of cannon were
among the farewell sounds that the sol
dier boys of the several commands heard
as they sailed away.

dressed as for gala day, circled around
