President McKlnley Delighted
with the Pine Appearance of tho
lien.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2". For three hours
today William McKlnley, commander-in-chief
of the United States nrniy and
navy, saw his victorious sons pass In
review before him.
It was military and naval duy of the
great peace jubilee. Twenty-live thou
sand men marched In the most brilliant
and spectacular pageant the country
has witnessed In many years.
Within a seml-clrcular enclosure of
the big reviewing stand in the magnifi
cent court of honor, the president stood
erect and uncovered throughout the en
tire procession. As these legions pressed
past, his face was set but not stern,
nnd In his eyes was a gleam of satls
factlon. From his steadfast gaze one
might have fancied hint- listening to
sounds other than those which struck
on the common ear sounds of deeper
Import, telling the meaning of this glit
tering panorama. Behind those mar
tial tunes he might have heard the
music of cannon volleys, tho s-ound of
falling cities and the dying shrieks of
a decadent people. But over these and
louder he might have heard peals of
pralso from a helpless, Infant nation
lifted out of servitude and cruelty by
the work of these embattled hosts. Yet
the central theme and motive of It all
was one of Joy and pride in the men
nnd their work and the nation of which
they are.
This was the true significance of the
event. Here and there, when some par
ticularly renowned body of troops
marched by the president smilingly
waved his hat and motioned to the
crowds across the way to cheer the
men who were their heroes as well as
his.
Mrs. McKlnley viewed the procession
from a small stand on the top of the
conservatory of the Llpplncott mansion,
immediately behind the larger stand
where her eminent husband stood. She,
too, was not chary of applause.
There was not an untoward feature
of tho day. The weather was tonlo
nutumn sunlit, gusty. The vast crowds
were handled with commendable skill,
and whatever accidents occurred were
of the most trivial character.
THE PRESIDENT'S FLAG.
Over the president's head hung a
canopy hearing on Its face the coat of
arms of the United States and sur
mounted by the new president's flag,
for the first time unfurled In the United
States. The flag was only recently
ndoptcd by the war department. To
the left of the stand was the coat of
nrms of Philadelphia.
During the parade the president was
surrounded by a small party, consist
ing of Vice President Hobart, Secre
tary of War Alger, Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, Postmaster General
Smith, Private Secretaries Porter and
I'ortelyou, Mayor Warwick and a few
members of the Jubilee committee.
Mr. McKlnley arose early this morn
lr.g and after a light breakfast, taken
in his Bellevue apartments, he and
his party were uriven In open carriages
along the route of the parade, about
seven miles In length. Thedrlvo was
of course marked by Incessant npplause
from the crowds. While driving up
Broad street the party passed General
Miles and his staff, who were riding
to the place of formation. The moment
the general's sword made Its saluta
tory sweep, the president arose In his
carriage and raised his hat, holding
it aloft until they had passed. Re
turning to the liellevue, the presiden
tial party was escorted by u squadron
of tho First City troop of cavalry across
Btoad street to the reviewing stand.
They had been preceded a few min
utes by Generals Shatter, Lawton nnd
Chaffee with their aides and a party
of ladles.
Ten minutes later at 11.23 o'clock
the platoon of the emergency corps,
whlclt held the head of the line, reach
ed the stand, and from then until 2.30
o'clock the sailors and soldiers tramp
ed on in splendid marching order, ev
ery sword raised in salute, every gun
presented.
HEROES IN LINK.
Many Illustrious heroes were in line.
hut there was little partiality display
ed In the kind or quantity of enthusi
asm accorded them.
Major General Miles, as chief mar
Bhol, rode at the front, immediately
behind the emergency corps ur.tll he
reached his special reviewing stand at
Broad and York streets, tho northern
end of the route. Here ho dismounted
and from the stand watched the men
file past.
General "Joe" Wheeler rode behind
tho governors, his gray head bared for
some minutes before and after tho
presidential stand was reached and
bowing repeatedly to the president's
waving hat and the applause of others
of the party and the people generally,
Oeneral Sumner, Captain "Hob"
Evans, Commodore Philip, Captain
Slgsbee, Colonel Huntingdon, with his
marines of Guantanamo fame, all re
ceived tumultuous greeting, but, after
all, perhaps tho loudest o, -at Ion was
that given Hobson and his Merrmac
crew. They rode on a tnlly-ho, and as
they reached the reviewing stand all
nruse, faced the president and bowed
their bared heads.
So far as nny one body of men was
concerned, perhaps the Twenty-first
regiment Infantry, "the president's
own," received the gieatcst tribute.
They marched three hundred strong
under Colonel McKlbbln, and the mem
ory of their valorous deed at the storm
lng,of San Juan hill stirred the people
to u thunderous clamor of applause.
These are the men who, with comrades
dropping all around thorn in tho Hume
nnd fury of a Spnnlsh attack, waded
waist deep through water, forcing thilr
foemen buck nnd singing "The Star
Spangled Banner" as they fought.
With them marched the "Fighting
Musicians" of the regiment, the men
who, In tho thick of the combat, flung
their Instalments from them and made
music with the guns snatched from
their fallen brothers. Thcie t'o only
twenty left of the original 'thirty-eight
bandm'en. Tho others fell In the fight.
The Twenty-first curried tho colois
presented to them by Mrs. McKlnley,
who called them "the president's own,"
and also those given by a lady of New
York city.
HONORS FOR COLORED FIGHTERS.
Tho Tenth cavalry, colored, were dis
mounted and to them the piesidcnt re
peatedly flourished his hat.
Huntingdon's mnriiies, who made the
first hostile lundlng on Cuban soil, were
Immediately preceded by the Marine
band. With them trotted along a kid
brought from tho topics, and arrayed
In glowing colors.
Of course, the highest degree of local
enthusiasm was bestowed upon Colonel
Hulings and his Sixteenth Pennsylva
nia regiment. His flank movement In
the fight at Coamo. Porto Rico, had not
been foi gotten. The piesldentlal party
Joined in the applause with equal zest.
The sailors were no less well re
ceived than the soldiers. There were
lines of Jackles from the Texas, Glou
cester, Murblehoad, New Orleans, To
peka, Mayflower, with a few scatter
ing men from tho Yosemlte, Yunkcc
and other ships.
The rear of the line was held by
the Grand rmy of the Republic nnd
their allied milltarj organizations. As
these ancient warriors filed past with
none too lusty step, they raluted the
president In their own way. Some
waved their hats, others timorously
raised their hands in the conventional
way, while several companies halted,
turned, and, flouting tho chief exec
utive, presented the tattered old bat
tle flaps. One of the posts carried u
battery of two guns, nnd saluted with
a. Bhot from each as the stand W'us
passed. The president responded with
a sweep of his hat nnd continuous
bows.
Between two of the Grand Army
Republic posts rode In a carriage Har
ry L. MacNeal, who had charge of a
gun on tho Brooklyn and who crawl
ed out over the side of the ship while
under fire, to extract a fragment of
shell which had become lied in tho
muzzle.
Passing the presidential stand the
troops marched In "company front"
formation, in three-step cadence, one
third faster than the regular time. In
nearly every instance the marching
was almost faultless.
As the last lino of soldiers and the
body of police behind them passed
the stnnd, the crowd broke through
the ropes and made a rush towards
the president's enclosure. He merely
bowed hl3 acknowledgement for the
cheering and then withdrew to the
rear of the stand to the residence "f
Mrs. J. Lundas Llpplncott, immediate
ly back of the stand. Here the party
took luncheon and shortly afterwards
the president retired to his hotel to
spend in rest the time remaining until
the Clover club dinner and the Acad
emy of Music reception tonight.

THE DREYFUS
CASE AGAIN
HEARING BEGUN ON THE QUES
TION OF REOPENING IT.
Precautions Against a Popular Dem
onstration Admission to tho
Court Room Only by Ticket Zola
Represented Reporter Bard Opena
tho Proceedings.
Paris, Oct. 27. The court of cassa
tion, which Is to decide upon the ques
tion of leopenlng the cao of Alfred
Dreyfus, who Is alleged to have been
falsely convicted of selling ltnpoitnnt
military plans to ugenta of n foreign !
power, opened at noon today. Tho j
hull was full of people, but there was
no demonstration around tho palace ,
of Justice. The gates, however, were j
closed as a matter of precaution and ,
only ticket holders were admitted. Tho '
few spectators arounds the palace were
kept moving by tho police, and inside
the building municipal guards were
stationed In all the corridors leading
to the court room.
Malt re Lnborl, who was counsel for
M. Zola during the latter's famous
trial, was, seated among the lawyers
occupying the first rom. Madame
Dreyfus, wife of tho prisoner, was pro
vided with n seat In a corner. She
wns represented by Maltre Mornard.
The Dreyfus appeal case was culled
immediately nfter tho opening of the
court. Repot tor Raid opened the pro
ceedings by rcict ring to the excite
ment and scandals cuused by the case,
even before the appeal for a revision
of the trial wns lodged. He then re
viewed the history of the ease from
the arrest of Dreyfus, and said his
condemnation was for one of the crimes
which Inrplre universal horror, and It
struck one of those in whom the coun
try had the most confidence.
Continuing, Mr. Bard spoke of the
efforts made to obtain a revision of the
case, referred to the denunciation of
Major Esterhazy and reviewed Mine.
Dreyfus' appeal. This appeal, he said,
was based on the assumption that the
bordereau was written by Major Es
terhazy. He then pointed out that
there were suspicious facts which Just
ify tho request for the revision. Mine.
Dreyfus contended thnt her husband
did not write the bordereau, which
nil the experts reported he did wilte.
The court, therefore, would have to
examine these facts and decide whether
a tevlslon wns Justified.
HENRY'S CONFESSION.
M. Bard added that the appeal for a
revision was decided upon In conse
quence of tho late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry's confession that he had forged
a document In the case, but this forg
ery was committed In 1S36 and could
not alone be regaided as ground for a
revision or for nn annulment of tho
judgment rendered In 1S!)4.
Nevertheless, M. Bard then said Lieu
tenant Colonel Henry had committed
forgery, his evidence wns the most
crushing against Dreyfus, and, he con
tinued, tho evidence of a forger Is open
to suspicion. There was, therefore, tho
presumption of Innocence, based upon
fresh fact, w hlch led to tho appeal for
a revision of the ense, and there waa
also ground to ask whether another
new fact has not been brought to light
nnd If Dreyfus was really the author
of the bordereau and note written to
Major Esotrhazy and found In the
apartment of Mile. Pays, In which the
writer asked what he should do re
specting the bordereau.
M. Bard next read Colonel Du Paty
do Clam's report of the arrest of Drey
fus, then a captain of French artillery
doing staff duty. In which the colonel
said that Dreyfus, while writing to his
dictation, "betrayed Intense excite
ment."
"But," M. Bard added, amid the sur
prise of his hearers, "the photograph
taken of this writing does not glvo the
slightest Indication that Dreyfus was
laboring under excitement."
Dreyfus, M. Bard also said, denied to
Colonel Du Paty de Clam that he ever
had relations, directly or Indirectly,
with foreign powers.
Colonel Du Paty do Clam's report
further showed that Dreyfus had to
write Incriminating documents In ten
different ways, sitting and standing,
with nnd without gloves, and with or
dinary and broad-pointed pens.
Tho belief Is general tonight that the
court of cassation will pronounce
neither for revision nor for annullment
of tho decision In the Dreyfus case, as
either course would entail nwkward
consequences.
To avoid these It Is expected the court
will decide that as the affair now pre
sents itself there has been no treason,
nnd therefore the condemnation pio
nounced upon Captain Dreyfus by the
court-martial cannot be upheld.

MR. M'KINLEY'S REMARKS.
President McKlnley was given an en
thusiastic reception when he entered
the beautifully decorated dining room
along with Postmaster General Smith
nnd Secretaries Alger and Wilson. In
response to tho patriotic Introduction
of Colonel McClure, the president of the
club, the president wild:
I cannot forego making acknowledg
ment to this far famed club for tho per
mission It has granted me to meet with
you lietu tonight. You do not seem halt
so bud at this stuge as you have been
pictured. No one, can unfold the future
of the Clover club. (LauKhten.
It bus been so gratifying to mo to par
ticipate with th'ieople of tho city t
Philadelphia In this great patriotic cele
bration. It was a pageant the like ot
which 1 do not bellevo has been seen since
the eloso of the stent civil wur, when the
army of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
nnd the navy of Dupont, Dahlgren and
Porter gavo tho great review In the cap
ital city of the nutlon. And I know ot
no moro fitting pluco to huve a patriotic
celebration than la this great city which
witnessed ihe first consecration ot liberty
and of the republic. As 1 stood on the
great reviewing stand witnessing tho sol
diets and sallots passing by my heart wus
Illicit only with gratitude to the God or
battles who has so favored us, and grati
tude to tho bravo soldiers and sailors
who had won such signal Motorics on land
and on sou, and hud given a new mean
ing to American valor.
It has beun especially gratifying to me
to participate not only with the peoplo or
Philadelphia, but with the peoplo of the
great west where I have recently visited,
In doing honor to the American army and
navy. No nobler soldiers or sailors ever
assembled under any flag. You had with
you today the leaders of Santiago, Porto
Rico and Guantanamo. We unfoitu
nately had nono of the heroes of Manila
with us. But I am sure that our hearts
go out to them tonight and to the brave
Dewey and Otis and Merrltt, and all the
other gallant men mat aro now sustain
ing the ll.ig In tho harbor city of Mnnlla.
(A voice: How about Hobson?)
Tho American people aro always ready
for any emergency and If the Merrlmac
Is to be sunk there Is an American olllcer
to do It, Ho succeeded In doing what our
foe has been unable to do, sink an Amer
lean ship. (Applause).
I ask you, gentlemen of the Clover cum.
to unlto with me In toasting the army and
navy of tho United States, without whoso
valor and sacrifice wo could not celebrate
tho victory we have been calcinating to
dav. Not only the men nt the front, not
only the men on the battleships and in tho
battle line, but the men at home with am
bition to go to fight tho battles of Amer
ican civilization should be tho recipients
of the gratitude of tho American people.
APPLAUSE FOR MILES.
When ho finished his speech the jues
Ident left the hall to go to the re
ception at the Academy of Music. As
he passed from the room General Mlle3
entered. The head of the urniy receiv
ed an ovation as ho pressed through
the crowd to his seat, next to General
Shafter. The latter arose as General
Miles approached and, reaching out his
hand, cordially greeted his chief. The
public exhibition ot feeling between the
two gentlemen was greetedvlth almost
deafening npplause.
General Alger responded briefly on
b'half of the army, and Commodore
Fvans was called upon as a, reore
seiitativo of tho navy. He thrilled his
hcaiers with a simply-told story of
the battle of Santiago, filled with per
sonal reminiscences.
General Miles made an extended ad
dress, in which he paid an eloquent
tribute to the valor of tho American
soldier and sailor.
AttheAcademyofMusIc the president
held an informal reception for two
hours. With Secretaries Alger and
Wilson he stood on tho stage and shook
hands with n long line of people, who
passed in one door nnd out another.
Thero wns no speech-making nnd af
ter n light luncheon had been served
In the foyer, the piesldent was escorted

London. Oct. 2ii. The Rome corre
spondent of tho Times says:
"I learn that Prince Louis Napoleon,
who was suposed to have rejoined his
regiment In Hussla, Is really at Gen
eva, where he has raised, un special
Hecurlty, a loan of such dimensions as
excludes the hypothesis of Its being re
quired for ptlvate purposes. Pi luce
Louis has long been the candidate of
the Bonapartists for the French tin one
In preference to his brother, Pilnce
Victor."
COULD NOT CHECK SLANDER.
The Cause of the Overturn of the
French Ministry.
Lodon, Oct. 28. The Paris correspon
dent of the Dally News says:
"The Biisson cabinet was overturned
ostensibly because It failed to ptotect
the army from slander. The real facts
nto that the ministers, constantly, but
vainly, urged the slandered staff otll
eers to take proceedings against their
slanderers. Genernl Meieler, General
Zurllnder and General Chanolne all
declined to assist the government to
vindicate the army's honor, on the
plea that it was useless to proceed
against 'filthy newspaper rags.' Gen
eral Chanolne's resignation was timed
to prevent the civil power getting hold
of the Dreyfus dossier.
"The court of cassation seldom
draws ladles. Today many richly
dressed women were there. The sitting
of the court resembled u chapter meet
ing In a cathedral, where passions can
have no place, as they have In other
courts. Nevertheless, M. Bard's report
wns listened to with breathh'ss Interest
and a child could understand it. There
were no legal technicalities; the facts
were allowed to speak for themselves.
No conclusion was suggested; but there
were conclusions to which no one could
help coming.
"M.Bard sreportennnot be otherwise
than favorable to Dreyfus."

tsl house. In his address ho said:
I am hero to preach the doctrlno ot tha
Republican purty and not to assail tho
characters of my opponents as votes can
not be made In that way. I am not hero

ment of this campaign. He scored mud
sllnglng by referring to tho uurnl.ig ot
the ciipitul, tho roso propagating housj
and the disputes ailsing from nttlng up
the Utuce church. It Is charged that I
havn not familiarized myself with what
the lust legislature did and what 1 did
not do. They may havo dono wrong In
passing bills but that Is past and I am

cumpulgn has nothing to do with national
IsMies but I say It has because the whobs
wotld studies tho mo omenta of tho No

Do you suppose that If Jenks Is elected
that the Democrats will not opposn ;ho
polio of our president'.' t tell you they
will. The peoplo should hold up his hairis

bow his head with disappointment. Thn
