Pittsburg last Mondny, nnd permitted
the pure sunlight from a dear sky to
Rhine mon the magnificent and pulrl
otlo ntiiPi Incident In the tic nic-eom-Ing
of tlio Tenth Pennsylvania volun
teers from tin- Philippine Inlands.
Thre hnndr il ihinnm d men nnd wo
men lined the nlie-ts of Pittsburg mid
Allegheny, shouting n warm w h- me
to IIib returning li'iioos; Pnadont Mc
Klnley In a speech prated the boy lor
their patriotism In protecting and de
fending the cnuntiy's llB : General
Wesley Merrill and the gov. rnors of
half a dimeii slate sU'.iillled by their
presence that the whole country Joined
In welcoming home the famous light
ers. , ...
The three- special trains carrying the
Tenth regiment home- from Snu Fran
cisco arrived nt New r.rlghton Inst
Monday morning, where br. akfnst find
been prcpnred for them by the ladle
of that clly.
Amid music, shouts nnd rear if cin
non the bins left the trains In th"
parks of Allegheny. From tlclv the
march was made Id Pittsburg, ending
at Schenlev park, where the soldiers
were furnished with dinner, af.er be
ing reviewed by President McKlnley
and prominent men In public and mili
tary circles.
The citizen of Pittsburg nnd vVcst
trn Pennsylvania had suhwrlhul $.",
part In order to bring the soldiers home
free of charge, and they saw to It that
the toys got their money's worth.
In the evening tho different compa
nies departed for their respective home
where further receptions awaited them.
As the heroes marched up the pro
fusely decornted streets to the music
of thousands of Instruments and th
shouts of hundieds of thousands of ad
mirers, their spirits were saddened.
On nil sides were pictures of the late
colonel, Alexander Hawkins, who died
on the Pacific while en toute home.
Not a station In that long Journey
from Pan Francisco to Pittsburg had
been passed without there being some
show of admiration on the part of as
sembled citizens.
A great demonstration nt Ohama
was omitted on account of the specials
being 12 hours late.
Uravery, devotion tr duty nnd re
markable physical endurance were the
Tenth Regiment' most striking ' ,
ncterlstlos as a United Mates volunteer
organization. The Tenth furnished a
number of military records when It
turned to the Fast, a year ami thtee
months ago. It was the llrst Pennsyl
vania regiment to set foot on foreign
soil; It was the only one east of tho
Mississippi that engaged n two distinct
campaigns; It was the only one thai
lost, In killed and wounded.' 10 per cent,
of Its strength; It was the only one
that had over a year's continuous
service to Its credit, nnd laft, but not
least. It traveled farther than any
other volunteer regiment In the I'nlted
States.
The Tenth Pennsylvania, within ft
week after being sworn Into the United
State servce, was hurrying ncross the
continent to Join an expedition to a
strange land, where Amerlcnn soldiers
had never set foot. Ten days after Its
arrival on those shores It was fighting
an unseen enemy at midnight, and was
being roused, by the fnll of Us own
wounded. In the savage desire to give
what had been taken. The regiment
hail six months of gnrrlson and provost
duty, then another midnight battle,
this time with the Filipinos at Malolos,
followed by other engagements and a
pursuit across rice fields anil throuch
Jungles, burning towns nnd potting
the enemy wherever found.
SHOT THROUGH THE DOOR.

guarding fL'OO which he had received In
an nil deal.
Edith Dunn, aged 17 years, daughter
of K. V. Iunn. of Hully Hill, near
Franklin, had been attending a soclil
near her home and it was n'urly 2
O'clock when she reached the house.
Greatly to her dismay she found thot
(he was locked out, and went to the
home of Drove, Intending to ask Mrs.
Grove to shelter her for the rema'.nd r
of the night.
Grove heard her knock at the door
and called to know who was there.
Hearing no reply he went upstairs, got
hi gun and again called and received
no reply. He then shot through the
door.
The weapon wn a 33-callbor rifle and
the bullet entered the abdomen of the
young woman near the groin. She
shrieked, and then Orove opened the
door and found her lying on tho porch.
Surgeons from Franklin were sum
moned and found an operation neces
sary. This was performed, but the
partcnt died from the nervous shock.
She was conscious to the last and ex
onerated Grove from all bin me.
Grove claims that he called at least
four times and when he wa coming
down stairs with the weapon he pur
posely dropped several gun cartridges
on the uncarpeted stair to give warn
ing to the supposed thieve.
Grove is almost frant c with r'lef c er
the sad occurrence, while the fatbr of
the dead girl is Inoonso'ab'e.

HI III IHE PHILIPPINES.
MAYORS ARRESTED.
Officers Installed By th Americans Caught
Recruiting Men tor the Rebel Army.
Natives Favor Revolutionists.
Recent event In the Philippine
have proved somewhat discouraging to
oflkials who are trying to accompany
war with a policy of conciliation. Two
new municipal government have col
lapsed through the treachiry of the
mayors.
Monday the mayor of Pan Polro
Mneatl, who wns elected by the P'opli'i
under the direction of prof. Dean Wor
cester of the United States advisory
commission for the Philippines, wa
brougiit to Manila nnd lixlgul In Jail.
The I'nlted State , Ulcer at San Pedro
Miicatl found thnt he was using Ills of
Poi" as a recruiting station for the
Philippine army. Four disguised In
surgent ofllcers were helping him.
The mnyor of llallttng was nlo nr
rested nnd confined In the same pilon.
Tho Americans caught him a-slng be
tween the lines of the two nrmli with
Incriminating document, which tho
authorities second. Another prominent
native mayor Is under sin velllance.
When the result of the election at
Imus which Hen. I.awton nnd Prof.
Worcester engineered, wns announced,
the American Inquired n to the where,
nhiiiit of the people's choice nnd were
Informed thnt he wns In prison at Itlll
bld, where the authorltli had placed
him on suspicion of being a revolu
tionist. He was released and Installed
as mnyor.
Such events nnd conditions t'nd to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character who Insist thnt a great ma
jority of the native sympathize with
the Insurrection and elect utile a a whom
they know to be revolutionists.
For two weeks Manila has b'en
policed nt night with unusual vigi
lance. Apparently tho authorities ore
expecting trouble.
The trend of affair tends to make
the policy of leniency unpopular
among the Americans. When they
abandoned Morong they burned the
whole town.
Col. Smith of the Twelfth Infantry,
who is In rommnnd nt Ang. les, Is ski p
thai regarding Filipino friendliness.
Instead of allowing the natives to re
turn to the town nn heretofore he has
ordered his troop to shoot ai men try

the women and children.
He recently gave the nmlgo In the
town nn opportunity to prove their pro
fessed friendship, putting them to work
nt digging trenches nnd c'eanlng
streets, but this only displeased them.
The foremost citizen of Angele, a
lawyer, who had welei m' d the Ameri

the Insurgents. The American
promptly marchrd him off to San Fer

UNFAVORABLE REPLY.

ernment had handed It reply to tho
I'.rltlsli agent at Pretoria, to be for
warded to Sir Alfied Mllner, Brltlph
high commissioner for South Afrlia

firmed. It Is believed, however, thnt the pro
position of Great Itrltaln for a Joint
cotnmlfislon to Investigate the effect
which the franchise reform legislation
would hnve on the (luthinder has not
been accepted, but that fresh proposal
have been ndvnncrd.
Sunday wa observed throughout the
Ornnge Free State and Cape Colony
with humiliation, prayer nnd sermon
advocating a peaceful solution of tho
crisis. Mr. Snytier, a lending Dutch
Reform preocher here, referred to the
close tbs uniting the Cape dutch to
those of the Transvaal, which, he
added, were member of the great
Afrikander family. If war was de
clared, he asserted. Great Itrltaln
would commit a "heinous crime before
God and man, resulting In clvij war In
Capo Colony."
There I evidence of growing lin
easlnes at Johannesburg. Great
crowd gather at the railroad station,
expressing disapproval at the depart
ures for Cupo Colony and Durban,
Natal.
According to Afrikander report tho
Transvaal' reply Is a counter proposal
of a live year' retrospective franchise
in the election of the president and an
Increased representation. It la said
that the suggestion is made to submit
all other difference to arbitration.

PRAISES AMERICAN GRIT.
Lord Kitchner Tells Why England Lost a
Bridge ContracL
In the course of his speech Monday
at the opening of the Atbara bridge,
In Africa, which was constructed by
a Philadelphia firm after competition
with Hiitish firms for the contract,
tho sirdar, Lord Kitchener, of Khar
toum, said:
"The construction of this magnifi
cent bridge, I think, may fairly be
considered a record achievement. ' So
far us the failure of the efforts to p ace
the construction order In England Is
concerned, I think It demonstrate that
the relation between labor and capital
there are not auftlclently advanced to
give confidence to the capitalist end to
Induce him to take the risk of es
tablishing up-to-da'e workshepa that
would enable Great Iliitaln to maintain
her position a the hint constructing
nation In the world."
"Hut, as Englishmen failed, I am de
lighted that our cousins across the At
lantic stepped in. Thli bridge Is due to
their energy, ability and power to turn
out works of magnitude in les time
than anybody else, I congratulate the
Americans on their aucotsa in the erec
tion of a bridge in the heart of Africa.
They have shown real grit far from
home. In the hottest month of the yeir
and depending upon the labor of for
eigner." CABLE FLASHES.

HINDERED BY A SICK MAN.
Cot. du Paly da Clam Very Much Wanted by
Dreyfus' Attorney.
"Dead men tell no talc." Thl I
the barricade behind which den. Mer
cler and the general Rtaff who are op
posed to Dreyfus have Intrenched
themselves. Hut there Is one weak
point in their defense Col. Iu Paty dn
Clam and the military clique know It
nnd are striving to the utmost to keep
him out of M. Kaborl' clutches. If they
enn prevent Hit Paty de Clnm, who In
now called the "sick mnn of the Drey
fus nfYalr," from appearing at the wit
ness bar, they can effectually put the
silence of the tomb between truth and
Justice. M. I,alMiri I fighting tooth
and unit to drag him Into couit, but
Col. Jouaust persists In refusing him
the necessary assistance.
M. I.atmrl hit the nnlt nn the head
Snturday when, replying to Gen. Mcr
cler' Inst remarks, he exclaimed: "Al
ways the dead. Snndherr dead, Henry
dead; Iu Pnty de Clem Is not coming."
Col. Jounust Immediately cut him
short, declaring ho must not make ob
servations, ns M. I.A.horl staggered and
fell back Into his Beat with a despair
ing gesture.
The confrfintntlon of Col. Manuel
Mniirel, Cnpt. Freystaetter and Gen.
Mercler was an Instructive exposure of
the fraud nnd dlshot.esty of the general
staff, which the absence of Du Pnty
de Clnm alono prevented frcm being
complete.
Cnpt. Freystnctter' opnnlng state
ment was a discharge nf grnpeshot for
the Mercler gang. He enumerated four
document that were secretly com
municated to the 1K!H tribunal. The
llrst Cnpt. Dreyfus energetically denied
nnd no reliable evidence has been ad
duced In Its supi-ort. The second was
the "canaille do d " document, which
ha been shown not to refer to Drevfu
at all. The third waa the d'Avlgnon
letter supporting tho second, which
therefore fall to the Rround with It.
while the fourth was tho Panlzzardl
dispatch, which tin been proved In
correctly translated nnd ruled out of
the priM-eedlngs by Col. Jounust In
the present trial as utterly unreliable.
The announcement that the Panlx
fardi dispatch was one of the secret
documents win another hard blow to
Mercler' reputation, because he had
declared In his deixisltlon thnt this
dispatch wa not communicated to the
tribunal In 1894.
M. I.nborl asked Col. Mauret to ex
plain his declaration thnt only one do
cument was read. Mnurel gave the
Jesuitical reply: "I ,ni not say only
one was read. I sold I only read one."
Capt. Freystaetter did not hesitate a
second when M. Dahori asked him If he
maintained his open statement. He re
plied: "Not only did I read the docu
ments, but Capt. Maurel read them and
made a commentary of each." This wnr
Ihe He direct to Col. Maurel, who did
not protest, but merely objected to the
term "commentary." Maurel thus
stands before the world as a self-confessed
liar.
In tho court-martial of Captain Al
fred Dreyfus, last Snturdov, charged
with treason, two of the Judues sitting
at the former trlnl confronted each
other and passed the lie, the same be
ing the case with one of the Judges
and General Mercler, former minister
of wnr.
M. Ilertlllon made the Dreyfus pro
ceedings relillctilous last Friday by at
tempting to prove Dreyfus guilty by
mathematics. Ity means of chnrts,
dlngrams nnd Instruments he gave a
demonstration which put most of the
audience to sleep and provtd nothing
against the accused.
Laborl cornered Gen. Mercler on the
Schneider letter, which the Intter hnd
used in evidence nnd which Col.
Schneider hnd repudiated ns a forg- ry.
The gent-nil was surprised when La
borl suddenly demanded thnt Mercler
be recalled. Evidently he hoped tho
tribunal would support him In' refusing
to explain how he got a copy of a let
ter which wus of later date than his
incumbency at tho ministry of war.
Hut I.nboii wa not to be denl d. lie
Insisted that Mercler should give some
explanation. Then, after hesitating,
Mercler declared that he would na
fcume all the responsibility attaching
to hi possesion of the document. This
as La Vorl intended It should be, wa a
demonstration of communication by
tho general tnff of part nt lenat of the
secret dossier to any ordinary soldier,
such os Mercler became Immediately
on leaving the ministry of war. When
Labor! had attained his object find
forced a confession of grave violation
of law on the port of Gen. Mercler, he
gave a smile of grim satisfaction and
then added nignltlcantly
"I shall have other question to put
to Gen. Mercler."
The scene wa highly dramatic and
made a profound impression upon all
the spectator.
Gen. Mercler made a pitiable exhibi
tion. M. Iabori, in a passion, fairly
thundered his questions.
"What can be the value of docu
ments," said he, "which we can not eu
and can not discuss, document for
which It Is Impossible to know who
take the responsibility I appeal to
you, Mr. President, to be good enough
to ask Gen. Mercler how this document
camo Into hi possession. "
Mercler. driven Into a corner, feebly
evaded the question,
"Mr. President," continued Laborl,
"I Insist that a reply be given. Gen.
Mercler ha sworn to epeak the whole
truth. I must Insist that questions
respectfully tendered by the defense bo
answered by him. I Insist that Gen.
Mercler answer me, for It li my right."
After Mercler' ahuflHng collapse M.
Laborl ank back Into his arm chair,
great bead of perspiration standing
on hi forehead, but hi countenance
wa radiant at the Impression he had
made.

OTHERS SHOULD SHARE OUR fEIG.
THE PHILIPPINE POLICY.
President Declares That th Slars and Slrlpes
Should Do tor All What It Has
Dona lor Us.
Iteforo an audience of 10,000 person,
filling the vast Methodist Auditorium
at Ocean Grove, N. J., to the doors,
William McKlnley, In a sperch of five
minute Inst Friday afternoon, made
his Phllipplno policy as clear as day.
Dr. I.annhnn, the President' form' r
pastor, in an opening prayer, thanked
GimI for the girt of Cuba and the Phil
ippines, and Jishop Fitagernld, in In
troducing the I'res-ldmt, declared thnt
there wa no ronflli-t between the Stars
nnd Stripes nnd he flag of the Cms nnd
thnt they flew side by side. President
.McKlnley then dellvind the sp.-ech as
follows:
Ixive of flag nnd love of country are
not Inconsistent with religious fnlth. I
believe there Is more love for our coun
try and that more people love the flag
than ever before. Wherever Ihnt flag
Is raised It stands not for despotism nnd
oppression, but for liberty, opportunity
and humanity, nnd what that II rig has
done for us we want it to do for nil
people nnd all lands, which, by the for
tunes of war, have come w.thln Its Jur
isdiction. That flag dor not mean one thing In
the United States nnd another In Pueitu
Kloo and the Philippine. There has
been doubt In some quarter respecting
the policy of thl Government In the
Philippines. I see no harm In stating
It In this presence. Pea'e first, then,
with charity for all. to establish a gov
ernment of law and order, pri.tecilng
life and property, for the well be'ng of
the people who will participate In It un
der the Star and Stripe.
Tho scene which followed this utter
ance surpasses description. The vast
audience, breaking through the hounds
which ordinarily repress such man f js
tntlon of enthusiasm, shouted until
the roof rang and 10,1X10 flags fluttered
approval of the President's words.
When the cheering Anally subsided
the President snld: "I have said mire
than I Intended to in response to your
