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.

! THE TREACHEROUS FILIPINOS.
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. Walter Well
man, the leader of the Wellman Polar
expedition, who returned to Tromsoe,
Norway, Aug. 17, after having suc
cessfully completed explorations in
Franz Josef land, arrived here yester
day. He walks with the aid of
crutches, his right leg, which was sori
ously Injured by a fall Into a snow
covered crevasse while Mr. Wellman
was leading his party, still being use
less. 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 governors
of 26 states and territories are an
nounced as having appointed dele
gations to attend the confer
ence on trusts Initiated by the
Civic Federation of Chicago and call
ed to meet In that city Sept. 13 to 16.
The call states the object to be purely
educational and strictly non-partisan,
the committee of arrangements being
composed of men of different political
faiths, and representing all sides of
the problem to be dismissed. The sub
ject for discussion Is: "Trusts and
Combinations, Their Uses and Abuses,
Railway, Labor, Industrial and Com
mercial." Preparing Per n Revolution.
New York, Aug. 28. Enrico Mala
testa, the Italian anarchist who re
cently escaped from a prison in his
own country and came to the United
States, addressed a French anarchist
meeting at Patersou, N. J., yesterday,
and a few hours later spoke to 200
Italian anarchists in this city. He told
his hearers that the Italian and Span
ish worklngmen were getting isady for
a revolution, and that they were or
ganizing for a great uprising. He said
that he would stay in this country
about three months and organize an
archist groups in many of the leading
cities.
Cruel Hoax Caused Father's Suicide.
Dublin, Aug. 29 J. M. Sinclair, high
sheriff of Donegal, committed suicide
by shooting himself Sunday on receipt
of the announcement that his daughter,
18 years of age, had been drowned In
another part of the country. The lat
ter story now, turns out to be false,
and has caused an Immense sensation
in the county, where the family is
prominent. The author of the false
hood which caused the father to com
mit suicide is unknown.

Rennes, Aug. W. 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.

Chicago. Aug. 29. Twelve Steel
, arches, each weighing 33 tons, which
were to have supported the super
structure of tile Coliseum building In
course of erect inn on Wabash avenue,
! between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, fell to the ground late yes
terday afternoon. 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.
The known dead are: Charles Wal
pot, crushed tn death; Stephen J,
Thompson, crashed to death; John
Farrey, head crushed; Richard Sher
man, head CUt Off; Edward Murray,
head and both leas cut oft; Theodore
Thorn, crashed to dent!-.: Prank A.

head and right side and internal In
juries; J ti ii Marshman, fractured
skull and fractured right leg; Peter
Peletler, right tirm cut off at shoulder,

All of the l!i arches were standing,
the twelfth and last having been
completed yesterday, when sudden
ly and without the sllghtesl w.irninx
the nrch last put ip Budflen!;' fell over
against the one next to it. The weight
was too much l r this, and it gave nay,
crashed against the third, and then one
by one the great steel span fell over to
the south, precisely In the same man
ner as a number of cards would fall.
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.

Twenty-five Inmates were Injured by
falls. Jumps and burns.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the heroism of tho sisters and
some of the older Inmates. When the
fire broke out the 400 Inmates of the
Institution were asleep. Most of them
were gotten out In almost perfect or
der, but a score who risked their lives
to save others were finally forced to
either Jump from the upper stories or
make desperate dashes through stair
ways and corridors filled with flames
and smoke.
As far as known but one person actu
ally perished in tho fire itself. That
was Jane, the aged pensioner, who was
asleep In the servants' quarters. Helen
