Not Less Than 500,000 People Join in the Festivi ties in Honor of the Return of the Pennsyl vania Regiment from the Philippines Presi dent McKinley, Governor Stone and Other Dis tinguished Guests Take Part in the Exercises. President McKinley's Address, Reviewing the Situation at Manila The Policy of Conciliation a Thing of the Past in Dealing with Treacher ous Filipinos. Pittsburg. Auk. 2S. With cannon booming, bells ringing, whistles shriek ing, flags waving nnd mighty cheers from hundreds of thousands (if tlironts, the brave Tenth Pennsylvania volun teers were welcomed home today after more than a year's gallant service In the Philippines. The reception tend ered the returning soldiers will always he remembered In this city as one of the greatest demonstrations of patriot ism that has over taken place In this nun try. A fund of $.r)ri,000, donated by the genoious citizens of Plttsburpr and the surrounding towns, permitted the committee who had the affair in charge tit make lavish preparations for the home-coming and nothing was left un done that would show the "lighting Tenth" how well their services for their country In a foreign land were nppre c i.itcd by the residents of their native state. The only thing lacking to make the day one of supreme happiness was the absence of the brave nnd well-bo3; loved colonel. Hawkins, who led the hoys In all of their battles and shared in all of their sufferings, but who was deiiled tile privilege of marching at their head when they returned home to receive the plaudits of a grateful people. The day opened threatening am lowering clouds hung over the city, hut long before the arrival of the trains carrying the troops the clouds had dis appeared and the sun was shining brightly. The crowds that lined the streets along the route of the parade from the parks In Allegheny to the re viewtni; stands In Schenley park was almost beyond counting. Good Judges estimate the number at not less than iion.OOO. This Is not regarded as too high, and the attraction certainly war ranted it. Gorgeous Decorations. The decorations of the streets and building were overwhelmingly rlcli and gorgeous and the live miles over which the parade took place was prac tically an unbroken line of Hags, (low ers, festoons and bunting. Besides the fact that the soldiers, fresh from the scenes of vlitory, were to be In the parade, which In Itself was a memorable sight, It was nlsj Known that President McKinley, Mrs. McKinley, Major General Met I lit, Ma jor General Francis V. Greene nnd others prominent in national and Hint" affairs were present. The reviewing stand of President McKinley and his staff of notables in Schenley park was a magnificent work of art, composed of silk, plimh and da mask, all blended tastefully in the col ors of the national emblem. The reception to the Philippine heroes began shortly after 12 o'clock at New Brighton. Pa., having been delayed live hours, when a committee of promi nent Pennsylvanlans welcomed them as soon as they had crossed the bor ders of I lie state. After brief exercises and a heaity Weak-fast tendered by the citizens of Now Brighton the regiment was rushed Into Allegheny at 2.20 p. in The train came In mree sections and Immediate ly after the soldiers had disembarked the lino of march (o Schenley park, wiieio the exercises wore to be held, was taken up.

Seats hud been provided for 25,000 friends and relatives of the members of the "Tenth" in front of the music pavilion, but these were lllled long before the exercises began and thousands were unable to secure even standing' room within hour lug distance. President McKinley's Speech. To the multitude at Schenley park, President McKinley spoke as follows: Governor Stone and my fellow-citizens: I am glad to participate with the fami lies, lriends and fellow-citizens of the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers hi this glad reunion. You have earned the plaudits not alone of the peoplo of Pennsylvania, hut of the whole nation. Your return has been the signal for a great demonstration of pop ular regard from your landing In the Golden Gate on the Pacillc to your homo coming, and hero you Had a warmth of wolcomo and a greeting from Joyous hearts, which tell better than words the estimate of your countrymen nnd their high appreciation, of the ser vices you have rendered the country. Totrmado secure and permanent the vic tory of Dewej. You added new glory to American arms. You nnd your bravo comrades engaged on the field of eon lllct have enlarged the map of the mit ed States and extended the Jurisdiction of American llbcity. But while wo slinto hi the Joy that Is yours, there remain with us softened and hallowed memories of those who went forth with you not found in your ranks today. Your nnblo colonel, devot ed to his men, lieloid by his command and respected by his superior officers, gavo his lire to his country with many others of his comrades. The nation sorrows with the bereaved. These he roes died for their country, and there Is no nobler death. Our troops represented the courage, and conscience the purpose and patriot ism of their country. Whether In Cuba, Porto Itlco or the Philippine or at homo awltlng orders they did their full duty, nnd all sought tho post of greatest peril. They never faltered. The Klghth Aimy Corps la tho Philippines have made a proud ami exceptional record. Privileged to bo nmsterd out In April, when tho ratillrntlmis of tho treaty of pence wore exchanged, they did not cljlm tho privilege they declined It. They voluntarily remained In the service and declared their purpose to stay until their places could be tilled by new levies, and longer If tin government needed them. Their sol vice and they understood it was not to tie In camp or garrison, free from danger, but on tho battle line, where exposal o and death confronted them and wheie both have exacted their victims. An Example of Devotion. The) did not stack arms. They did not run away. They wore not serving the Insurgents In the Philippines or their sympathizers at home. They had no Part or patience with the men, few In number happily, who would have rejoiced to ee them have laid down their arms In the pioscnco of an enemy whom they had just emancipated from Spanish rule and who should have been our llrmest friends. They furnished an example of doMitloii and saeiitlco which will brighten the glorious record of American valor. They have seemed not alone the grati tude of the government and the peoplo, but tor themselves and their descendants an Impcrisii.itilo distinction. They may not fully appreciate, and the country may not, the heiolsm of their conduct and Its important support to the govern ment. I think I do. and so I am hero to express It. The mighty at my of volunteers and regulars, numbering over 250.000, which lout year responded to call of the gov ernment with an alacrity without piece dent or parallel, by the tenns of their enlistment were to bo mustered out, with all of the icgulars above 27,uii). ulirn peace with Spain was (fleeted. Peace brought us the Philippines by treaty ces sion fiom Spain. The senate of the I'liltid States ra tilled the treaty. livery stop taken vi.s In obedience to the re quirements of tin Constitution. It bo came our ti nitory, and Is ours as much as tho Louisiana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body of Insurgents, in no sense representing the sentiment of the people of the Islands, disputed our law ful authority, and even before tint rati llcatlou of the trentv by the Anicrlcin senate wore attacklns; the very forces who foiiBht for and seeurul their liei dom. This was the situation In April. U'Xl the date of the exchange of rntlllcalions wlth only 27,(nl regulars subject to tho uniiueslloned direction ot the executive, and they, for the most part, on duty in Cuba and Porto Illeo or Invalided at home after their severe campaign In the tropics.

These loyal volunteers hi the Philippines said: "Wti will stay until the government enn organize an army at home and transport It to the seat of hos tilities." They did stay, cheerfully, un.

Handwriting Expert Chnravay Gives Most Effective Testimony In De claring That He Was in Error nt tho Trinl of Dreyfus in 1804 nnd That He Now Believes That the Bordereau Was Written by Ester hazy. Konnes, Aug. 28. The balance ot the evidence todny, for iv chnnge, was In favor of Dreyfus, Five witnesses wo'-e for him nnd two against him. The most Interesting testimony was that of Chief Handwriting Kxpeoi Charavay. who hud come to declare ho had changed entirely his opinion, which In 1834 was against and now Is In favor of Dreyfus, who today he af llrmed was not the author of the bor dereau. His candid confession of error wni received with murmur of satisfaction In court, which became discreet ap plause In spite of Colonel Jouaust's patient disapproval, when he solemnly added: "1 declare here, on my soul nnd conscience, that the boidercau was written by Ksterhazy." The most important Incident, how c or. was Colonel .Touaust's aequles ccnee to Major Carrlero's request that a rogatory commission be Instructed to take Colonel Du Paty Do Clam'-! deposition. The Initiative camo pure ly from the government commissary, Maltrcs Laborl nnd Demango linvlnir no faith In such a measure, because It nllnws Du Paty De Clam to escape cross-examination, which Is the only thing worth having under the present circumstance. Du Paty Do Clam be ing n witness for the prosecution, Ma jor Caniero will simply prepare ,t list of (uestlons which an examining ma gistrate will put to Du Paty Do Clam at his residence nnd nobody supposes that he will bo very much embarrassed by the interrogatories. Tho Central Figure. Today the central figure- In tho court yard, which Is the mooting place for all the leading personages of the trial dur ing the suspension of tho sessions was Captain Freystnottor. who was the subject of many flattering remarks up on his manly and soldier-like bearing. Indeed, tho Interest In him was so great that some persons waited all night long outside of tho door of the court In order to obtain standing room In the roar part of tho court room. In the hope of seeing him nt today's sit ting, an Impression gone abroad that he might be recalled. Ills modest and frank demeanor called forth admiration from all ex cept the generals and tho other mili tary witnesses for the prosecution, who seemed afraid of him and scowled In his direction from the other side of the court yard. Captain Freystaetter will not remain here until the end of the trial, but will leave Hennes In a few days. M. Do Froyclncet, former minister of war, arrived this afternoon and will testify tomorrow.

Judge Brown and Walter Donovan Arrested at Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Aug. 28.- Joseph Brown and Walter It. Donovan, of Now Ha ven. Conn., were arrested here today on the charge of violating section 11 of the Dlnglty tariff net which pro hibits the Importation of any copy or simulation of any name or trade, nnd that the same shall not bo admitted at any custom house. From the evi dence adduced at the homing before a 1'nlted Stutes commissioner It appears that the defendants were at one time employed by J. c. Huhliiger iiros. & Co.. stnrch manufacturers o Now Haven and that they were going p.bout tho count i.v selling starch packed In boxes that nn a fac simile of tho firm's boxes. It was nlso shown that the defend ants had tho firm's trade mark pilnt ihI on tho boxes nnd In Toronto, Can adn. and that they were shipped from Hamilton to nuflalo where they passed through tho custom house after the duty had been paid on them. The government nltlclnla claim this Is a clear violation of the clause In the tar iff act which protects the trade mark. The men were held In $1,000 hall for a further bominir.

LIVES CRUSHED OUT. Twelve Steel Arches Fall with Ter rible Effect in Chicago Nine Killed Outright Many Wounded. Chicago. Aug. 28. Twelve steel arches, each weighing thirty-three tons, which wore to have supported the superstruc ture of the Coliseum building In course of erection on Wabash avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, fell to the ground late this afternoon. It is known that six lives were crushed out. The bodies of three men are supposed to be under tho wreckage. Seven nro In the hospital with Injuries received in tho accident and of these two will surely die, one may possibly recover and the rest are for tho greater part seriously Injured. The dead are: Charles Malpot, Kdwnrd Murr;iy,Frank Logan. Stephen J. Thompson, John Fnrrey (given In former list as John Fay). Mellaril Sherman, Theodore Thorn, Leroy Fennor, workman from Toledo, o.; Al Norman, workman from Toledo, Four are fatally Injured, two miss ing and nine not seriously Injured. All of the twelve arches were stand ing, the twelfth and last having been completed today. It was the Intention of tho steel contractors, tho Pittsburg Bridge company, of Pittsburg, Pa., to turn over Its work tonight to the gen oral contractors. Tho Immense "trav eller" or derrick, which had been used In tho erection of the arches, had been removed nnd the agents of the Bridge company wore accounting their work as practically completed when sudden ly, and without the slightest warning, the arch last put In place suddenly fell over against the one next to It. Tho welrht was too much for this, It gave way, crashed against the third and then, one by one, the great steel span fell over to the south, precisely In the same manner as a number of cards would fall. Nearly all the men who were killed wore at work on top of the arches, forty feet above the ground. An Immense crowd gathered u round the place and, despite the efforts of the police who were dose at hand, they swarmed over the mass of wreckage, making desperate hut Ill-directed ef forts to drag out tho dead and to save the wounded. It was only with the greatest dlfllculty that the police were finally able to drive back the crowd, and give the firemen and uninjured workmen a chance to rescue the In jured. That more men wore not killed and injured was almost a miracle. Fully fifty men wero at work In the space covered by tho arches as they fell. The work of icbuildlng will com mence at once and it is expected that today's accident will delay the opening of the building not over a month. No lluanclnl loss will fall upon tho Coliseum company, which Is erecting the structure Tho only losers will be the Pittsburg Bridge company, whose loss Is estimated at .$23,000.
