Tho result is a splendid record of pcrttn't Unas, sustained throughout the entire twelve mlhs of marching.

The Third biigade was applauded all along the way, but the Thirteenth, the best known and the most popular of all the Pennsylvania regiments which aro to be still held In the service, re reived an unlnteirupted ovation. Then; were many Perantonlans among the visitors who ran say that on one occasion :.t least, they felt Justly proud of the regiment. It was "Three c liners for the Thirteenth." from be ginning to end. wherever the regiment was halted, the people showed their appreciation of the boys, showering up on them in lavish abundance every imaginable delicacy, and even at one point, where a short rest was given, .md the marching and the execution of the manual of arms were exception ally line, the occupants of the grand stand were wrought up to a pitch that they rained nickles, dimes, quarters and half dollars on the boys. U was truly a tilumphal march and the members of the regiment 'vith regret entered the cars reserved for them, at 4 o'clock. They wanted to re main in Philadelphia one day more, and to see tho civic parade tomorrow, but they were ordered to return to ramp tonight. The trip back began at 6 o'clock and was very quiet.

Freight Engine Crashed into the Rear of Their Train. Py Associated Prcsx. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa Oct. 2S. The Camp Meade soldiers began to arrive early this morning, General Oobln's brigade getting In shortly after midnight. The men were veiy glad to get back and were very tired from their long march. All day today they have been arriving at intervals, and it was expected that by 6 o'clock this evening they will be back to their tents. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Penn sylvania regiments, about which thero has been so much uncertainty regard ing their muster out, will be sent home about November 6, in order to give the men an opportunity to vote. It is ex pected that the Tenth Ohio will oIfo be sent home about that time. When General Graham returns this evening he will have a conference with tho railroad officials to arrunge for the transportation or the troops south. As the request for bids for transportation included a special bid for the moving of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth over the Pennsylvania railroad alone, this Is taken as an Indication that these regi ments will surely be sent home. Twenty-four patients were sent to Philadelphia today and twelve to Ches ter, and but few remain in the camp hospitals. It Is announced that the troops as signed to Augusta and Athens, Ga., will be sent from here about Nov. r. and will reach their new camps about Nov. 7. Tho last long train of weary soldiers from Philadelphia reached Camp Meade this evening shortly after 6 o'clock and the men went direct to their quarters. General Graham will be here tomorrow morning and the last final arrange ments for moving the troops south will be made. It is expected that there will be a movement made by Nov. 7, and the entire corps will get away by Nov. JO. An accident that might have resulted very seriously occurred to the train on which the Ninth Ohio colored troops were going to Camp Meade from Phila delphia. The train had reached Hum melstown over the Heading road and was waiting to be switched onto the branch road that goes to Mlddletown. While standing on the switch a freight train from Harrisburg came along on the same track, and before it could bo flagged It crashed into tho troop train, smashing the rear car and Injuring six men, all of Company C. The Injured are Floyd Stewart, leg badly crushed, will have to be amputated, and Hugh Travers, severely Injured, both being taken to private houses in Hummels town. Tho slightly injured are Eman uel Mack, Benjamin Pangs, Luthsr Whitter and Benjamin Williams, all of whom were Injured about the legs and were badly contused, They were brought to the Harrisburg hospital. The cause of the accident was alleged to be the carelessness of the flagman in not going back far enough to stop the freight train, he not taking the usual dlstnnce customary when a train is flagged. Half a dozen cars were smashed and the cars containing the horses on the troop train was broken open and the nnlmnls escaped and add ed to tho confusion. only 2,002 foot per second and tho flight of the shell lasts for thirteen miles unless stopped sooner. THIUTEEN-INCH GUNS. Tho expression "thirteen Inch" means the dlnmotcr of tho gun'u bore spoken of by "Inches." Now It all four thirteen Inch guns were flred at once which never happens only 4,600 pounds of shell would go hurling through most any old thing that hap pen In tho way inside of thirteen miles, and It would require 2,000 pounds of powder to start them going. A shell can be fired from these guns about every two and n half minutes. There were no twelve Inch guns nboard the Indintm, tho next largest gun being the eight Inch. There are eight aboard, each welshing fourteen and one-half tons, and twenty Ave feet In length. Four are on the port side and four on the stnrboard side. Tho shell for these guns weigh 250 pounds, and require a charge of 120 pounds to give It a good start, which It gets at the rate of 2.000 feet per second and Is liable to hit something lnnldo of seven and one-half miles. Here we nnd that If nil four went oft at once 2,000 pounds of steel would be roam lug about. Tho Indiana carries1 four six Inch gun3 in her secondary battery. Each gun weighs six tons, with a length of twenty feet. Each 100 pound shell re quires thirty-six pounds of powder, and starts from the muzzle at the rate of 1,9$6 feet per second. To be perfectly safe one had better be be yond five and one-half miles, If being aimed at with a six Inch gun. These four guns nre a total weight of 400 pounds if flred together. WHAT THEY WOULD DO. If the Spanish licet had been massed at a given point and the Indiana could have llred one shot apiece from each of the above guns and all at once, the shock of 7,000 pounds of steel flred Inside of three miles range would have prevented any further1 trouble with tho said Spanish fieet If. Continuing with the description, ex Gunner's Mate Cruzan told of the six pounders. These guns are known among gunners aa "lead pumps," why, he did not say. The good ship Indiana carries twenty. Each shell weighs six poinds, that is hy the gun Is called a six pounder. Each gui. Is capable of firing ten shots a minute, or a total of 200 six pound shells per minute for tin twenty guns. These1 guns work effectively Inside of three miles or less, better less. Tho other guns from one pounders down are unimportant In engagements like that off Santiago harbor on July 3, and little Is ever asked about them. In concluding his remarks, ox-Gunner's Mate Cruzan said that he believ ed the Spanish ships stopped a few pounds of the aforesaid steel projec tiles, and ho also knew that he, for one, did his best to give those good Spanish ships more ventilation. GUNS OF THE INDIANA. Former Gunner's Mate Cruzan Tells About Them The Terrible Thlr- tesn-lnch Monsters and Their Destructive Powers. Charles Cruzan, formerly a gunner's mate aboard the battleship Indiana, as the best way of answering the many questions put to him since he ramo to this city, decided to describe for The Tribune the "guns behind which the men stood," when the flower of Spain's boasted navy was mattered at Santiago, Ex-Gunner's Mato Cruzan, naively introduces his f-ubject by saying that "many people, on hearing that n man-'o-wnr's--man was stranded here, nnd that he was a gunner's mato during the late war, have gone to him with all kinds of questions concerning tho guns which were trained against the Spanish." To answer all Interested, he furnishes the lollowlng interesting data concerning tho said guns, using the ones with which he was famlllnr aboard the Indiana, ns the means of describing all. Naturally, he began with the blgr ones which were tho thlrteen Inch guns, of which the Indi ana carried four, two forward and two aft, each net in turrets. Each guns weighs, when set up, about f.9 tons. The length of each gun from muzzle to breech Is forty feet. The projectile or shell weighs 1,150 pounds and requires a D00 pound charge of powder to discharge It. The velocity of tho shell as it left the muule wu states that his temporary residence Is In Washington, but gives No. 81E West Tuscarawas street as his real residence. This Is the old McKlnlcy homestead. The president swears It Is Impossible for him to be In Canton on any regis tration dny. mm mRGE!

Secretary Wil son brought up at the cabinet session today the fact that Blanco Is still charging $10 a head for beef cattle going Into Cuban ports controlled by the Spaniards, while the United States Is admitting beef cattle free of duty to ports controlled by American ofli clals. The cabinet concluded that It has no power at present to change this state of affairs nnd that Blanco must bear the responsibility for it. As soon as the United States takes possession of the vnrious ports, here after, this will be changed. Some of the ports near Havana will be opened to the free entry of beef cattle and other things and that may result In a benefit to Havana. M'KINLEY'S RESIDENCE.
