GREAT ACTORS OF WAR They Aro Received with Open Arms by tho Patriotic Quakers Philip, Sigsbeo, Evans, Hobson, Waln wright and Others Are Objects of Admiration Thousands View tho Naval Parade Tho Rough Riders Arrive A Confederate Veteran Asks to Take Part ns a Survivor of the Old "Merrimac" of the War of the Rebellion. Philadelphia, Oct. 23. Philadelphia lifted its hand and doffed the nation's hat to its naval heroes today. Nomin ally It was tlia active opening of the peace Jubilee. Actually it was a thun derous greeting of praise, welcome and thanks to a puissant armada and the men who swept it on to unchallenged victory. The most illustrious actors of the war, whose glorious end 1 the motive of the celebration, learned what their country thinks of them. Slgsboe, Philip, Evans, Walnwrlght these were some of tho men. The Texas, tho Gloucester, tho WInslow, the May flower theso were some of tho ships. Tho government was represented by Secretary of the Navy Long, the peo ple by a throng that filled every bit of timber on cither shore of tho Delaware river and jammed every available craft to tho point of danger. The marine pageant was ono of surpassing bril liancy and grandeur. The series of ceremonies commemor ating the triumph of American arms really began on Sunday with services of prayer and thanksgiving in the churches. Today's naval review, how ever, was tha real opening of the fes tival, which will continue until Thurs day night. It consisted In a proces sion of vessels around tho anchored warships, but that bare statement con veys no idea of the demonstration. The yacht Mayflower, with Secretary Long and the Washington party aboard, led the parade, tho ships of tho navy being anchored in slnglo file In mid stream, tho lino extending from Chris tian to Hanover streets, a distance of three miles. THE STREETS ALIVE. As early as daybreak the streets be came alive with humanity pressing to ward tho water front. Here and there along the wharves stands had been constructed, but for the most part the throngs Jammed themselves on roofs, piers, coal sheds and whatever offered foothold. At the same time tho two hundred or more steam cratt were gathering at the rendezvous off League Island, where the line of parade was formed. Alexander Van Rcnselaer's yacht, the May, which did fine service in carrying supplies to I'orto Rico and returning sick soldiers to their homes, lay at Pino street wharf awaiting the arrival of tho Washington delegation. This party, which consisted of Secre tary Long, Miss Helen Long, Lieuten ant W. II. II. Sutherland and Private Secretary Finney, reached Broad street fetation from Washington nt 12.55 o'clock. They wore Joined there by Captain Robley D. Evans and Con gressman Hillborn. of California, and the peace Jubilee committee was In waiting to escort them to the May. Lieutenant Sutherland, who com manded tho gunboat Eagle during the war nnd destroyed the big Spanish trans-Atlantic liner Santo Domingo, necompanled Secretary Long In the capacity of nax'nl side. It was half-past 1 o'clock when tho party reached tho yacht. Tho little gun in the stern of tho May bellowed a salute and the secretary's colors broke from tho maintop. Without do lay the May was headed down stream to take her place nt the head of tho procession. During tho run down the river luncheon was served aboard the yacht to a party Including bjsld those already named, Captain Nagas hlgo Kishlwnbara, of the Jnpunes cruiser Knsagl; Governor Hustings, Mayor Warwick, Congressnison Mc Aleer, Hnrmer, Bingham, Adams, Young, Wanger, Butler nnd Louden slager, United States Senator Penrose, Major General George R. Snowden and the Jubilee committee. TOASTS BUT NO SPP.ECIIL'S. Toasts were drank to tho president of tho United States, the Emperor of Japan, the captain of the Kasngl, See. retnry Long, Captain Evans. Governor Hastings and Mayor Warwick, but there was no spepobmnking. Arriving off League Island, tho south em extremity of tho city, tho May found the line of reviewing vessels in waiting. She went at tho front und at 3 o'clock the parade began to move ulong the Jersey side of tho anchored warships, which lay about u thousand yard distant from each other, In this older: Columbia, Muyllower, New Or leans, Texas, Marblehead, Dolphin, To peka, Gloucester and WInslow. The Kasagl lay at the northern end of the line, of Cramp's ship yard, where she was recently built. As the procession moved river and shore were one naming mass of color. All tho warships were In full dress, flags flying from bow to stern, from masthead to masthead. Trailing ulong behind the May were vessels of every description, handsome yachts, big excursion steamers, tugs, barges, launches and even row boats, all bravely decked In the national col ors and puffing and shrleklntr their whistles like marine .I--.-- Secretary Long with Lieutenant Sutherland and Cnptalu "Hob" Evans on either Hide, stationed himself on tho bridge of the May, and presently the Columbia, the first of the warships, was reached. Her olllcers und men were drawn up on the forward und nfter decks, every hand raised In sa lute, und then her bIx pounders began to roar out tho secretary's pulutc of 17 guns. With the beslnnlnR of the salute came the buglo and drum sa lute from the ship, and before the echoes of thie first shot had been swallowed by the boom of tho second, a veritable pandemonium of whistles, smaller guns anil the roar of She crowds broke out and continued throughout tho procession. THE FAVORITES. Tho Texas, Gloucester and Window received tlie greatest snare or enuius- lasm. As the May gilded past tho great battelshlp, Commodore l'lunp and Captain Slgsbee stood at attention with the other ofllcers and men of the ship, the marines presented urms and the ship's band struck up "Hall to the Chief." Secretary Long, who had held his hat In his hand since the start of the parade, now waved It several times, a performance which he duplicated in honor of Lieutenant Commander Waln wrlght, who stood on the bridge of the Gloucester, nnd of the little torpedo boat WInslow, which brought up the end of tho line. The Kasagl's ollleers and men were lined up like the Ameri cans and saluted the secretary quite as well, but as her guns are nt Arm strong's in England, the salute was perforce a silent one. A thousand yards beyond the Kasagl, the line of reviewing vessels swung round nnd proceeded down tho river along the Pennsylvania shore. The trip down was merely a continuation of the en thusiasm and clamor, minus the guns of the warships. When the Texas was again reached, the May was brought to a standstill, and at tho invitation- of Commodore Philip and Cnp tain Slgsbee. the party went over In launches to the battleship. Hero they were escorted below to the ward room, where the commodore, cap tain and ofllcers received the guests. After the exchange of Informal greet ings, Mayor Warwick proposed the health of Secretary Long and called upon him for a response. He did so very briefly, thanking the mayor for his words of welcome and Commodore Philip and Captain Slgsbee for their courtesy to him as their guest. After referring to "tho historic hospitality of Philadelphia, again Illustrated by this mngnlflcent Jubilee," the secretary said: "If ever the navy was worthy of the nation it represents it is worthy of it todny. "I appreciate tho honor you have conferred on me In connecting my name with that of the commodore. I appre ciate the honor of standing on tho his toric deck of tho Texas in the presence of tho man whoso glorious work at Snntlngo has written the name of tho American flag high on the records of the honor of nations. I respond ns heartily as our country does to these, our heroes, nnd to you of Philadelphia for honoring them as you do." HEROIC AND HUMANE. Mayor Warwick then spoke a few words In praise of tho Texas, and proposed a toast to Commodore Philip, paying tribute not only to his heroism but to his humanity in silencing the cheers of his crew while tho vanquish ed Spaniards were perishing. "Heroic and humane," ho concluded, "such n. race can never be overcome." Commodore Philip replied with a few words of thanks and then Captain Slgsbee was called upon. Ho spoke of the gratification to him by the univer sal sympathy for the Maine, but asked to be excused from speaking of tho ship. "Some time I may say how I feel about tho Maine, but not nt this time." Here the mayor suggested a toast to "the men behind the guns" nnd after three hearty cheers had been given Secretary Long remarked: "They respond with their guns." This ended the Texas reception and Secretary Long nnd his party return ed to the May, tho battleship repeating the salute nti they left. It was then 0.45 o'clock nnd the May was promptly steamed over to her dock to give the secretary time to catch the C.J5 train for Boston. Before he left ho remarked that judging from this, the opening day of tho jubilee, he could not conceive what the remaining two days will be. "It was beautiful In conception and mag nificent in execution," he added. Apart from the naval pageant, tho city pnvssi'd u busy day preparing for tomorrow's civic display nnd receiving Incoming troops for tho military par ade on Thursday. The first of the ar riving soldier, were thre hundred and fifty members of the Twenty-first regi ment from liattsburg, N. V.

Commodore Philip today received tho following telegram: "Can you find a placo for me In the parade Thursday us a Confederate veteran and a sur vivor of the old Merrimae?" It was signed by H. C. Foute, n California bishop, who Is now In Washington, Mayor Warwick assumed charge of tho request nnd said Foute would bo mount ed besldo General "Joe" Wheeler In the military parade.

Tho Parson Addresses Large Audi ences Along the Line. Chatierol, Pa., Oct. 25. Westmore land und Washington counties were visited todny by Dr. Swallow nnd his fellow-speukers. They addressed a large meeting at West Newton this nfternon, nnd tonight were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd In thin town that packed the opera house to tho doors. During his speech, Dr. Swullow said: One menace of n Republican form of Government Is the Infidelity of jurty Iradtrs. When unfaithful to their con tdituonts they endanger, not only tl.o suc cess of the party they represent, but also the best lutercFts of tho people. One hope of a Republican fotm of government Is the watchfulness of the minority party o"or the uots of the dominant party. But wheio tho leaders of tho minority patty for a consideration of either ortlce or money, sell cut their constituency to the other side, this hope Is not realized. An Important nssurnncu of safety luia been removed. Hud tho Democratic bosses been ns loyal to the prluclpks of Jefferson as tho rank nnd lllo of tho Democratic party have been, they would long slnco have over thrown tho corrupt gang which, under tho domlnancy of quay has so long despoiled our stale, and placed their own party In power In nil departments of tho state. Hut. instead of tnls, Mr. Quay hns been able to control those corrupt Democratic politicians to the detriment of their constituencies and the sorrow cf thp wliolo people. That this hitherto Democratic annex to the Quay machine should now be traversing tho sKTte, fiercely denouncing tho very men with whom they hnvo been partners In loot ing the treasury and Impoverishing tho taxpayers, would be humorous In tho ex treme, wero It not for the evidence It af fords of .the sacrifice of mnnhood. Mr. Jenks now claims that he and his party have been known for years and have long slnco exposed the corruption laid bare by us In February of '!)7, but if any expo sition by tho Democratic bosses was mado prior to that tlmo It wns of so feeble n character as not to provoke the men thus exposed. Addresses wero nlso made by Volney B. Cushlng and Gamaliel Bradford, of Boston. Tomorrow tho party will nd dress meetings at ITnlontown, Connells vlllo nnd Jeannette. EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.

Probably never before at one conven tion has tho council transacted more business than nt this meeting, or so much of vital importance to the church. The work accomplished Included a complete revision of the constitution with many Important amendments, also tho adoption of a number of amend ments, most of them of a minor char acter, to the canons. The new consti tution will have to be ratified by the next succeeding convention three years hence, before It becomes operative, A matter which has received the earn est attention of the council has been the question of church unity, upon which an amendment to the constitu tion was ndopted. A readjustment has been made of the boundary lines of the missionary districts In the west and northwestern parts In tho United States, a new diocese In Indiana has been cre ated, six missionary bishops elected, one for the church in Brazil, and dis cussions had benrings on the extension of the church work In Cuba, Porto Rico and tho Philippines. Tho failure of the proposed canon on marriage and divorce caused considerable surprise, but this has been left to a committee of thirteen members to prepare a re port to bo made public nine months before the next convention.

Guffey to day added his own denial to any agree ment being entered Into, after his at tention had been called to tho Harrlty statement. Mr. Guffey said: "Tho statement mado by Mr. Harrlty gives the facts, nnd covers the ground completely. Mv meeting with him and a very large number of other prominent nnd Influential Democrats had but one purpose, the uniting all other Democrats for tho success of the ticket nnd good governmept In Penn sylvania." , Fornker Has Fever, Washington, Oct. 25.

GEORGE JENKS AT PHILADELPHIA MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE IN THE QUAKER CITY. Ex-Governor Pattison Acts as Chair man of tho Evening and Delivers Blows at the Republican Party ns Usual. Philadelphia, Oct. 25. George A. Jenks', the Democratic cundldate for governor, tonight at the Academy of Music, made his first speech of the present campaign In this city. Not withstanding the popular Interest in the electrical features of the peace Ju bilee, a lurge audience greeted the speaker. In another respect the meet ing was given additional Interest by the presence of u largo number of prominent Democrats from all parts of tho state on the platform with the speaker. Ex-National Committeeman Harrlty, ex-Governor Pattison, Stuto Chairman Garman, United States Dis trict Attorney James M. Beck, ex Supreme Court Justice S'imuci Gust Ino Thompson, ex-Collector of the Port John Cndwnlader nnd ex-Attorney General W. U. Hensel were among the number.

Former Chairman Stranahan made a brief speech and wns followed by W. II. Hensel. He scored both Dr. Swal low nnd John Wnnamaker nnd declar ed Jenks the candidate of a united Democracy. Robert F. James, of Ens- ton, followed in a speech In the same line. Mr. Jenks wns the next speaker. He said In part: You aro about to chose your servants to look nfter your Interests In the state. If you have an evil government It Is your own fault, and If you chose a bad government It Is your own fault, and you are not worthy of the rights you enjoy to select your own servants. Unfortunately, the great Republican party, which has been tho dominant party In Pennsylvania for thirty years, Is ruled by n machine with autocratic hands. It is a selfish machine that uses tho money of the state and tho power of her citizens. Tlie Republican party has attempted to overthrow this machine, nnd has failed. Its power still exists, and Is being used to your detriment and loss. The noblest, and best men of the Re publican party are In revolt against this machine. They regard patriotism as superior to purty ties, and aro ready to help us save the state. Every man who has a conscience and a heart should unite with us and say this, our state, shall bo released and the people shall rule their sovereignty. To this feast I invite you. m i PEACE COMMISSION. The Members Aro Arranging a Phil ippine Programme. Paris, Oct. 25, The peaco commis sion was In session during the whole of this afternoon.

The Paris corres pondent of the Times says: "The days of Boulanglsm aro return ing without a Floquet to draw the sword against a factious general and without a Constant to make htm cross the frontier.

"Evidently tho tasto for street de monstrations Is reviving nnd perhaps nn Thursday, when the court of cassa tion will meet, there will be a removal of the uproar. "It looks as though M.
