President Roosevelt Delivered
it at Pittsburg.
He \Va« Greeted by Halt a llllliou
I'hcerliiir People from Pltlnliiirs:,
Allegheny and Surround-
Ins Towns -It Wan
a Ureal Day,
Pittsburg. July Half a million
persons greeted President Roosevelt,
in Pittsburg yesterday. They came,
not only from Pittsburg and Alle
gheny. but from the scores of indus
trial towns within 100 miles of the
city. It was the distinguished guest's
first visit to Pittsburg as president,
and his welcome was enthusiastic.
From the Union station to the speak
er's stand in Schenley park, nearly
four miles away, it was one continu
ous cheer.
When the president stepped from
his car at Union station he was
escorted to the main entrance, where
the reception committee were stand
ing.
Those who entered the carriage
with President Roosevelt were City
Recorder Hrown, Attorney General
Knox and George P>. Cortelyou, secre
tary to the president. The other car
riages in waiting were promptly
filled by the reception committee.
The bugler of Sheridan troop sound
ed the assembly call, which was a sig
nal for Hrig. Gen. Wylie, commander
of the military escort, to order the
movement of the column. The march
ers numbered 3,000 men, representing
the Kighteenth regiment, the Four
teenth regiment, the Tenth regiment,
who saw Philippine service, Sheridan
cavalry troop, of Tyrone, the Boys'
brigades and independent military or
ganizations.
Among the prominent guests who
rode in carriages were Gov. Stone,
Congressman Dalzell, Congressmen
Acheson, Jack and Graham. Interest
centered in the unique feature of the
republican and democratic candidates
for governor. Judge Samuel W. Pen
nypacker and Robert E. Pattison,
resepectively, both of Philadelphia,
riding together in fine carriage. They
were accompanied by George T. Oli
ver and Albert J. Harr, editors of re
publican and democratic papers, re
spectively. of this city.
Flags and bunting fluttered every
where along the course of parade.
People hung from windows of tall
skyscrapers, yelling themselves
hoarse in greeting of the president.
When the head of the military
escort reached a position opposite the
speaker's stand it was halted and
stood with their arms at pres
ent. As the president and those in
carriages passed in review the band
struck up "Hail to the ('"liief." The
music was fairly drowned by the
cheering of the multitude of 200,000
persons in the stand and occupying
vantage points on the ainphitlieater
like hillside, which rose in front.
Following the band piece, the
United German Societies of Alle
gheny, 600 voices, sang "The Star
Spangled Banner." At the close of
the song the invocation was pro
nounced by Rev. John H. Prugh. The
Declaration of Independence was read
by Brig. Gen. Hidings, and then fol
lowed the oration of the day by
President Roosevelt.
His speech was devoted to praise
of the army and navy, and he also
highly complimented Attorney Gen
eral Knox.
After the address the German sing
ers sang "America,"the vast audi
ence joining in the words of the final
verse. Following this, out of compli
ment to the German ancestry of t-lie
distinguished guest, "The Lord's Day"
was sung in German. The benediction
was then pronounced by Rev. Boyle,
presiding elder of the Pittsburg dis
trict, M. E. conference.
The exercises consumed one hour.
The president immediately afterward
re-entered his carriage and was
driven to the residence of H. C. Frick,
where he was tendered a luncheon
and reception, which was joined in by
a number of prominent Pittsburg cap
tains of industry.
IN THEIR SHIRT SLEEVES.

braaUa.
Seattle, Wash., July 5. —The keel of
the battleship Nebraska was laid in
Moran Bros. & Co.'s shipyards yester
day in the presence of an enthusias
tic crowd. Gov. Savage, of Nebraska,
and Gov. Mcßride, of Washington,
were preset.t.
The presentation by the Moran
Bros. Co. to Gov, Savage of a small
piece of steel, the material punched
from the first hole in the first piece
of st el shaped to become a part of
the 7<eel of the battleship, was a
feat ure.
Then a section of the battleship
Nebraska was swung into position by
the great cranes. A heated rivet was
placed in position, and the governors
of the two states removed their coats
and by alternate strokes flattened the
rivet into position.
When this task had been completed
amid the enthusiastic cheers of the
crowd and the firing of guns, a rep
resentative of the company appeared
on the scene and proceeded to pay off
the distinguished workmen for their
work. To each of the governors be
gave a check for three cents.
Another Strike at Omalia.
Omaha, Neb., July s.—The first at
tempt to replace the Omaha shopmen
with outsiders was made Friday,
when ,1:1 imported men were put.to
work. The men are guarded by an ex
tra force of watchmen and will eat
and sleep near the shops. A feature
of their arrival was a strike of the
bricklayers and hodcarriers on the
new shops, now under construction.
These men threw bricks and stones
at the new arrivals as they marched
past the shops, then walked out and
declared they would not work on
shops in which non-union labor was
to be employed.
HIGH CITY OFFICIALS.
Tin ) Played a (taiiu* <>l "(irall" In
Minneapolis.
'Minneapolis, Minn., July 4. — Inter
est in the trial of Chief of Police
Frederick Allies for bribery reached
a feverish intensity Thursday, when
Christopher C. Norbeck, of the detec
tive force, himself under indictment
for bribery, described on the witness
stand the whole system of "graft."
With the manner of one who was find
ing relief in unloading' a guilty con
science, he told of his relations with
the system of corruption, involving
the superintendent in his disclosures
and before lie could be headed off by
a objection from the defense, impli
cating- the superintendent's brother,
Mayor A. A. Ames.
Norbeek said be had received orders
directly from the mayor to tell the
chief that he had been instructed to
take orders from Inspector Irwin
Gardner and '"Hilly" Edwards,
"Big Mitt" men, in furtherance of the
understanding- reached with the ad
ministration for the swindling of un
sophisticated strangers in the city,
lie was instructed to take care of
"suckers" who "made a holler" and
induce them by persuasion or threats
to leave the city and he had done
such work for a year and a half.
Koman Miex, who had been
swindled out of a draft for $735, of
which he S4OO back by "squealing,"
was another witness. He said Chief
Ames had advised him to leave town
and the police would get after the '
swindlers when he had gone. The
chief, he said, hail advised him that it
was useless to try to stop payment
on the draft, as he had indorsed it
for the swindlers and it was now as
good as money. Miex gave the story
to the newspapers and the chief told
him he had flushed the game,

July 4. —('apt. Cottle, of the whaler ]
William Baylies, who has arrived 1
from the north, reports succoring
Harry de W'itidt and his companion,
(Jeorge Harding, who were in distress
on the shore of Bering Sea. l)e Windt I
and Harding left Paris last December,
intending to make an overland jour
ney across Asia to Vmerica, via Ber
ing Straits. They traveled to Yakutsk,
in Siberia, and then proceeded by
reindeer team to the two most
northerly settlements in Russia, and
from there they traveled a distance
of more than 1,500 miles onward.
Capt. Cottle found the two explorers
at Whadyluk.
They had a terrible trip across the
country, their provisions we're almost
gone, and they had reached the coast
only to find that the ice had gone out
of the straits and that it was impossi
ble to accomplish the perilous feat of
crossing Bering Straits on the ice.
The captain supplied them with pro
visions and states that he believes
that they will make their way across
in a native skin boat.
BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A W h Itecapper In Killed by a Kliot

Nine of Ht* Comrade* Injured.
Mammoth Springs, Ark., July 4.—As
the result of an alleged attempt at
whitecapping at Union, a small vil
lage in this county. 'Pink Gibson, a
well known citizen, was blown to
atoms with dynamite, and nine other
men were more or less seriously in
jured.
Harvey Sexton received warning
that a band of whiteeappers were to
visit his house, with the avowed in
tention of killing him and dynamiting
the building. Sexton barricaded his
doors and with a rifle kept a sharp
lookout. Wednesday the alleged
whiteeappers made their appearance
and Sexton tired only one shot, the
bullet striking (iibson in the stomach,
killing' him instantly, and passing
through a pocket in which a stick of
dynamite was carried. Immediately
there was a terrific explosion and the
ground for a number of yards around
the unfortunate man was torn up.
Nine of his companions were injured.
PEACE AND AMNESTY.
President Kooxevelt I»*ue« ProcUma

Washington, July 4.—The president
has formally declared the restoration
of peace in the 'Philippine archipela
go; he has placed the islands under
complete civil control, and lias ex
tended general amnesty to the Fili
pinos who have been in rebellion.
These three things, marking one of
the most important chapters in Phil
ippine history, were accomplished
through the issue of three separate
orders and proclamations, one by the
president over his own signature, ex
tending amnesty; one through Secre
tary Hoot, by the president's order,
relieving Gen. Chaffee from bis duties
as military governor, and a third,
which takes the shape of a general
order addressed to the entire army of
the United States, in which Secretary
Hoot takes occasion to express the
president's high appreciation of the
work it has accomplished in Cuba and
the Philippines.
ItooNevelt'ii Proclamation.
Washington, July 4.—The president
has issued a proclamation in accord
ance with the act of congress, an
nouncing to the world the postpone
ment until April 30, 1904, of the

An ArkaiiMam Tnsfdy.
Pine Bluff, Ark., July -..—A tragedy
was enacted last evening at New Kilin
burg. Two men are dead and another
dvig. The dead are Arthur and Gar
field Kilgore, merchants. Mr. Me-
Ruth is dying from injuries. The two
Kilgores became boisterous. A jus
tice of the peace deputized Mcßuth,
who is a bookkeeper for W. A. At
wood & Co., to arrest the two mt'n.
McHuth endeavored to comply with
the orders. The Kilgores resisted ar
rest and, drawing knives, began to
use tl" on Mcßuth. The latter drew
a revoi.lid fired. The battle was
waged desperately for a few minutes.
CAMKRON COUNTY FRKSS, THURSDAY, JULY 10. 1902.
UNPROFITABLE JOB.
Robber* lluld 1p a Train on tilt*
Itoeli Island Itoad.
Chicago, July s.—With half a hun
dred men 011 their trail and the prom-
Ise of a desperate Wattle and profiably
death for their portion if they shall
lie overtaken, the two bandits who
halted the Hock Island railroad's
Denver limited express train near
Juliet at midnight Thursday and
escaped after mortally wounding; one
of the express messengers, are still
tit large. All during the night and
through yesterday they pushed on
through the farming country, steal
ing a buggy or a wagon here and
there, and abandoning the teams
when t hey were too exhausted to car
ry them farther.
Farmers and residents in the ttle
towns in the vicinity of the scene of
the raid swept over the surrounding
fields and prairies in the hunt, but
never a glimpse was had of the fugi
tives. Occasionally a rumor of their
whereabouts was obtained, but the
utmost haste in organizing a pursuit
failed to overhaul them.
James Kain. the veteran express
messenger, who was fitiot down by
the robbers while he stood with his
hands elevated above his head, was
brought to Chicago, and it is believed
he will recover.
The attempt upon the strong boxes
of the I'nited States Express Co. that
were journeying toward Omaha and
Denver is admitted to have been one
of the best planned raids of rece..t
years, but it was poorly executed, and
the bandits tried to carry out the pro
gram without sufficient force to pro
tect themselves from an attack.
The detectives engaged in the in
vestigation and the pursuit now be-,
ing pushed al' over Illinois, are satis
fied that the i >bbers hoped to force
the big safe, which contained some
where in the neighborhood of $90,000,
and only the precipitate shooting of
the messenger defeated them in this
project. When they fled they carried
with them several packages of cheap
jawelry, valued at about $llOO, and a
quantity of catalogues and patent
medicine bottles, which they appar
ently thought were bundles of valu
ables.
A RAILWAY HORROR.
I'lfleeii Peopli' Killed and 'ill Injured
lu a to I Union ou u Trolley Line In
New York.
I'tica, X. V., July 5. —On an electric
railroad near (lloversville last night
there was a collision between two
ears crowded with passengers, by
which 15 persons were killed and 29
injured. For a distance of four miles
north of (lloversville. the Mountain
Lake railway, an electric road, con
nects (lloversville with a popular
place of resort or picnic ground. As
it was the Fourth of July the place
was crowded with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filled with
people coming home from the
grounds. At 10.30 p. m„ at a distance
of about two and a half miles north
of (lloversville, there was a collision
between cars, one bound north
and one bound south. They came to
gether head on with terrific velocity.
The Mountain Lake railway tracks
follow the side of a mountain, the
grade being about 1,000 feet in four
miles. Coming down the incline, the
motorifian of one car carrying about
70 people lost control of the car,
which soon acquired frightful ve
locity. Then It met a car ascending
the mountain and also carrying about
70 passengers. The impact was ter
rific. but for a few moments neither
car left the track, the ascent of the
one being overcome by the rush of
the other, and for a distance of sev
eral hundred feet they went 011 down
the incline. Then they left the rails
ad the dead and wounded were hurled
together in an inextricable mass.
At 2:110 o'clock ten bodies, mangled
beyond recognition, were brought in
to filoversville, where the injured
were also being taken. The latter
are being cared for at. the Littaner
hospital. It will be impossible for
several hours to compile a list of the
dead and injured.
REVIEW OF TRADE.
Fen- New Developments of Import*
ante are Reported.
New York, July 5. R. 0. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Quiet conditions have prevailed in
most branches of business, especially
in those markets already affected by
labor disputes. Large interest pay
ments testify to the prosperous con
dition of railways, industrial corpora
tions and financial institutions, and,
iside from the labor troubles, the half
year just ended was remarkably sat
isfactory.
In the iron and steel districts there
have been no developments of import
ance. In the textile markets cotton
goods sold freely at recent conces
sions. and the tone was steady, while
woolen mills are more actively en
gaged, anil buyers are in the eastern
markets for raw material. Quotations
lof wool made a further slight ad
va nee.
llailroad earnings for the half year
just closed are the largest ever re
ported. Total gross earnings of all
railroads in the United States, re
porting for the half year to date, are
$618,490,508.
Commercial failures in the first half
of 1002 numbered 6,165, with liabili
ties of $60,374,856. This is an increase
of $4,570,166 compared with last year,
and $18,311,923 more than the excep
tionally favorable record of 189!).

London. July 1. —The general feel

throughout the United Kingdom,
which were originally prepared tu
; celebrate coronation night.
London, July 2.—The steady pro

I longed, convalescence of the king. It
is expected that the bulletins regard
ing his condition will soon be re
duced to one a day. A striking scene
was witnessed yesterday. A big brake
loaded with Fijian soldiers drew up
in front of the palace. The men were
barelegged and bareheaded; their
frizzy hair was long and dyed, and
with their white cotton skirts and
quaint tunics they presented a
strange spectacle. In front of the

COLOR AFFECTS DEW.
Truth of the Assertion t an lie l'rove«l
by Auy Doubter by a Simple
tUnerlnieat,
There are conditions in which
color materially affects the forma
tion of dew, as may be shown by a
simple experiment. Place three
pieces of board—one white, another
green and another black—so that
they may have the sun on them all
day, and leave them exposed to the
air all night. A clear, cool night
should be chosen for the exeperi
ment, for dew rarely forms when it
is cloudy.
If all the conditions are normal it
will be found in the morning that
there is a great deal of dew on the
white board, much less on the green
board, and still less on the black
board; indeed, there may be none at
all on the latter.
The difference is due to the fact
that the three boards absorb the sun's
rays unequally, and are, therefore, of
different temperatures at the close
of the day. The black board absorbs
th« most heat and the white board
the least. They all begin to lose
their heat as soon as the sun's raya
leave them, the white board cooling
first, the green board next and the
black board last. As soon as they
become cool enough to condense the
watery vapor of the air in contact
with them, dew will begin to form on
them, and the most dew will fall on
the one that cools first. It may be
tha,t the black board will absorb
more heat during the day than it can
throw off at night; if so, no dew
will form on it.—Louisville Courier-
Journal.
I'tillzntion of Tidal Force*.
It has long been a matter of observa
tion that the forces of the waves and
tides, if harnessed, could be made to
do an unlimited amount of work, but,
until very lately, no one has been ven
turesome enough to attempt so bold
an appropriation of the earth's natural
forces. Two schemes, recently devised,
are worth noting. Oneiscalculated to
work in an inlet, using the tides to
revolve waterwheels, t'lius extracting
a tithe of their energy. The other con
sists of a number of buoys so anchored
and constructed as to utilize wave force
to compress air. Both schemes, it is
said, are well financed, and are assured
of a thorough test.

On many beaches which are very
level it is impossible to launch a
boat from the land unless the passen
gers wade out or the boat is pushed
out by hand, and it is to overcome
this obstacle that the apparatus
shown in the drawing has been de
signed by Samuel T. Brittain, of Bos
ton, Mass. With this contrivance the
passenger may enter the boat and
be driven along the beach into tha
water, and when finally launched the
same apparatus which accomplished
that work is used to propel the beat
through the water.
Any ordinary form of motor is
used, being geared by chains to the
apparatus shown in the rear of the
boat. This consists of a gear wheel
with concave face secured in a rigid
yoke, with a tiltiug post carrying a

latter gear wheel to the propelling
wheel. At either end of the shaft
carrying the rear gear wheel is a
yoke extending forward and ending
in a handle which serves to turn
the propeller after the manner of
rudder. In order that the driving
wheel may serve as a propeller in tha
