MRP Hi Pittsburg's Great Demonstration in Honor of the Fighting Tenth. i 'RESIDENT M'KINLE Y'8 TRIBUTE. lie Will I'riro Medals of lienor For Kach of the Brave Men Who Re mained at the Front After Their Term of Enllatment Had Expired. Pittsburg. Aug. 29. President Mc Klnley left Pittsburg last night at 9 i'clock for East Liverpool, O.. a very weary man. The entire day had been pent under the moat trying circum stances, and the president waa almost worn out. By the original program the regiment should have arrived at 10 o'clock In the forenoon, but there were nun. "rous delays en route. When ' the president finally headed the procession that escorted the Tenth regiment from Allegheny to Schenley Park It was 3 o'clock. Along the five mile march the president received an ovation that was practically contin uous from the thousands of persons along the ronte. The reception tendered the returning soldiers will always be remembered in this city as one of the greatest dem onstrations of patriotism that has ever taken place In this country. A fund of $55,000, donated by the generous citizens of Pittsburg and the surround ing towns permitted the committeo who had the affair in charge to mnko lavish preparations for the homecom ing, and nothing was left undone that would show the "lighting" Tenth how well their services for their country In u foreign land were appreciated by the residents of their native state. The only thing lacking to make the duy one of supreme happiness was the ab sence of the brave and well beloved Colonel Hawkins. The decorations of the streets and buildings were overwhelmingly rich and gorgeous and the five miles over which the parade took place was prac tically an unbroken line of flags, flow ers, festoons and bunting. The reviewing stand of President M' Kluley and his staff of notables in 6 I ' u ley park was a magnificent work of irt, composed of Bilk plush and dai .ask, all blonded tastefully In the col' rs of the national emblem. I'pon reaching Schenley park the col ons wits reviewed by President Mc Kii ley, after which he proceeded to thf music pavilion, where the exer cises were held. Seats had been pro vided for 25,000 friends and relatives of the members of the Tenth In front of the music pavilion, but these were filled long before the exercises began, an! thousands were unable to secure standing room within hearing distance. An unlocked for incident occurred when the Tenth regiment filed in front of the reviewing stand In Schenley park. Shortly after the column began Birching past the president the crowd on the hillside, which was immense, v d contained many of the friends and natives of the Tenth, commenced to surge forward and In a few moments tl.e ropes and policemen were swept a ay aiid soldiers and friends mingled, passing the stand en masse. The move ment had no ugliness about It, but was ju-t a , ontaneoj dash of friends for long absent lovd ones. After music by the Economy band Major Let S. Smith called the meeting to order and Rev. T. N. Boyle, D. D., delivered the Invocation. Governor William A. Stone waa then Introduced as chairman of the meet ing and delivered an address of wel come in behalf of the state, concluding by introducing President McKlnley, WOO delivered a speech warmly ex pressing the thanks of the people to the men who had remained on the Ur ine line long after the legal date of tholr enlisment had expired, and re buking the antl-expansionlsts "who wonld have rejoiced to see them have laid down their arms In the presence of an enemy whom they had just emancipated from Spanish rule and who should have been oar firmest friends.'' He concluded by declaring that he would recommend to congress on especial medal of honor for each one of the brave men. The president's speech was received with tumultuous applause, especially every reference to the gallant Tenth. When the speaker enumerated the sev eral regiments entitled to special hon ors the boys of the Tenth took a hand In the cheering. As each regiment was mentioned the soldiers showed their delight In prolonged applause. The Twentieth Kansas (Colonel Funaton's regiment) came In for an ovation. When the Nebraska regiment was mentioned the boys could with dif ficulty be stopped, but the Utah bat tery's name literally set the men wild. Cheer after cheer went up, and the regiment In chorus gave the Philippine yell several times. The Utah battery and the Tenth regiment were chums in the Philippines, and several times the Utah men shelled the jungles, driving the Insurgents back while the Tenth slept after a battle. Congressman John Dalzell followed In an eloquent address, and on behalf of the citizens of western Pennsylva nia presented each of the commission ed officers with a sword, the chaplain loving cup and every man in the regiment a beautiful medal. The presents were received by Colonel Bar nett on behalf of the officers and men. General Wesley Merrltt waa then in troduced and made an address on be half of 'he army. After benediction by Dr. A H. Lucas the reglirent was marched to the park race trace, where a sumptuous repast was serv d, and then they were finally dismissed After t ii' soldiers had eaten their late d Inn it at the race track the sev eral companies were taken In hand by committees from their several home towns and escored to special trains to carry them home. Some ol the boys, though, decided to remain In' the city over night, the re mit being that the streets were filled with soldiers and those helping them to enjoy themselves. gara Mercler WU1 Be Proeeonted, London!

Pretended Allies Eleot I nsnrgen t Sym pathisers, to Office. j Manila, Aug. 28. Recent events have ! proved somewhat discouraging to of -I flclals who are trying to accompany war with a policy of conciliation. The 'new municipal governments have col- lapsed through the treachery of the , mayors. Recently the mayor of San i Pedro Macaty, who was elected by the 1 people under the direction of Professor ; Dean Worcester, of the United States advisory commission for the Philip pines, was brought to Manila and lodg i ed In jail. The United States officers at : San Pedro Macatl found that he was I using hl3 office as a recruiting station for the Philippine army. Four dls- gulsed insurgent officers were helping him. The mayor of BaJluag waa also ar l rested and confined In the same prison. The Americans caught him passing be ! tween the lines of the two armies with I incriminating documents, which the 'authorities secured. Another proml I nent native mayor is under survell- lance. When the result of the election at ' Imus, which General Lawton and Professor Worcester engineered, waa announced the Americans Inquired as to the whereabouts of the people's choice and were Informed that he was I In prison at Hlllbui, where the authorl I ties had placed htm on suspicion of be ing a revolutionist. Ho was released ! and installed as mayor. Such events and conditions tend to i give color to the assertions of foreign residents acquainted with the native character who Insist that a great ma 1 Jorlty of the natives sympathize with I the Insurrection and elect officials whom they know to be revolutionists. ! ENGLAND AND THE TRANSVAAL Brltlxh Troop Will Congregate at I.hImk'm Nek nnl Mnfokliig. London, Aug. 29. The Capetown ! correspondent of The Dally Chronicle ' says: British troops will be Immedi ately concentrated at Lalng s Nek and Mafoking, and It Is believed that the British program will be to surround the Transvaal, and then to negotiate a new convention. According to Tho Dnlly Mall's Cape town correspondent the belief Is still entertained there that the British gov ernment is opposed to extreme meas ures, and it is reported that President Kruger is so well aware of this that he has just cabled countermanding con ditional orders for large meat sup plies. Although not definitely known. It Is assumed here In London that Mr. Chamberlain had the reply of the Transvaal government before he de livered the Birmingham speech. It is also believed that on the receipt of President Kruger's offer of a five years' franchise and other concessions Mr. Chamberlain wired that they were un acceptable, and suggested modifica tions. If this be so, and if the reply to that suggestion that the Transvaal govern ment will make no further. concessions be resident Kruger's final answer, the position is ominous. The Importance of President Steyn's letter to Mr. Schrelner lies in the fact that an offensive and defensive treaty exists between the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. WALTER WELLMAN IN ENGLAND. He Still Believes It Possible to Rearh the North Pole. Hull, Eng., Aug. 29.

His right leg Is drawn up a foot from the ground and it Ik not known yet whether he will ever again use it. He will consult a specialist lit London Immediately. Otherwise he Is In good health and spirits. A fairly complete survey of tho arcrlpelago has been prepared by Mr. Wellman and his party. They all show traces of hardship. Their faces are pale and drawn, and Wellman himself la much thinner than formerly. To a press correspondent Mr. Well man snld: "I still believe It Is possible to reach the pole by Franz Josef land. But I cannot say If I shall make another ef fort." The Trust Conference. New York, Aug. 28.

The balance of tae evidence in the Dreyfus case yesterday, for a Change, was In favor of Dreyfus. Five witnesses were for hlni and two against him. The niist Interesting testimony wan that of Chief of Handwriting Expert Chr.ravary. who bad come to declare he I ad changed entirely his opinion, which In 1S94 was against and now Is in favor of Dreyfus, who he yesterday ; ;n rnunl was not the author of the bor dereau. His caudld confession of er ror was received with murmurs of sat isfaction In court, which became dis creet applause, in spite of Colouel Jounst's patent disapproval, when he eolrmly added: "I declare here, on my soul and conscience, that the bordereau was written by Bsterhaxy." Another Important witness wa3 M. Paray-Javr.l, the draughtsman, who riddled the evidence of M. Bertlllon. With the aid of a blackboard M l'aray Javal demonstrated the fallacy of M. Bertlllon 's calculations and criticised the latter's unfairness In not subject ing Esterhazy's handwriting to the same tests as the prisoner's writing. The most Important Incident, how ever, was Colonel Jouast's acquiescence to Major Carrlere's request that a rog atory commission be Instructod to FxritaT Til. LOW. take Colonel Du Paty de Clam's depo sition. The Initiative came purely from the government commissary, Mal tres Labor! and Demange having no faith In such a measure, because It al lows Du Paty de Clam to escape cross-, examination, which Is the only thing worth having under the present cir cumstances. The sessions of the court last week were extremely sensational. On Thurs day Colonel Maurel, who was president of the 1894 court martial, admitted reading one of the secret documents which had not been seen by the de fense. He protested that only one doc ument was looked at, alleging that this sufficed to enable him to form a con viction that could not be shaken. Gen eral Mercler, the ex-war minister, waa frequently made to contradict himself by the adroit questioning of Mr. La borl. Whenever General Mercler was cornered he declined to answer, and Colonel Jouaust Invariably supported him. M. Iaborl protested most ener getically. His words and manner breathed the deepest Indignation, but the president of the court martial was inflexible. On Saturday Captain Freystaetter, who was a member of the 1894 court martial, testified that he was influenced in voting for Dreyfus' conviction on the evidence of Colonels Du Paty de Clam and Henry. He declared that both Generals Mercler and Colonel Maurel had sworn to lies. Mercler, In turn, declared that Freystaetter had sworn to a lie. The attitude of the captain, however, was convincing, and the Dreyfus cause won a great vic tory, despite the unfair discrimina tion of Colouel Jouaust. BRITONS DRIVE OUT COSSACKS. Almost a Battle Between Euglleh and Knaataa Force. Shanghai, Aug. 28. As the outcome of a dispute regarding the possession of Bome lands at Hankow, on the Yang Tse Kiang, about 700 miles from the sea, which were purchased In 1863 by the concern of Jardlne, Matheson ft Co., but were subsequently included In the new concessions to Russia, the owners, under the advice and protec tion of Mr. Hurst, the British consul, sent workmen to fence In the tract. After the work was begun a dozen Cossacks from the Russian consulate appeared on the scene and forcibly ejected the workmen. The captain of the British second class gunboat Wood lark, after consulting with Mr. Hurst, landed a party of bluejackets and mov ed the Woodlark within firing distance of the Russian consulate. For a time a fight seemed Imminent, but nothing further occurred. The bluejackets landed to protect the property, but as the Russians refrained from further interference the Britons returned to their warship. The Itovennea ot Cnba. 'Washington, Aug. 28.

It Is known that nine lives were crushed out, and the bodies i of two other men arc supposed to be i under the wreckage. Seven are In the j hospital with injuries received in the accident, and ot these two will surely die, one may possibly recover and the rest are for the greater part seriously Injured.

Nenrly all the moo who were killed were at work on top of the arches, 40 feet above the ground. Soni" of them made futile attempt to slide down the side of the arches, but before they could save themselves they were hurl ed to the ground. Many of them ut tered piercing shrieks for aid oh they fell. Most of them were killed outright by the awful nature of their Injuries. The skulls of (he unfortunate men were crushed Into shapeless masses; their limbs were cut off as If by a monster knife, and they were mflhgled beyond recognition. That more men were not killed and Injured was almost a miracle.. Fully j 60 men were at work in the space cov ered by the arches as they fell. A j number of the men Jumped Into small j excavations, of which there are many j in the ground beneath the steel works, and were saved from the great masses I of steel that crashed down over tlicni.
