REVIEWED DI THE PRESIDENT.
Immense Crowds Throng the Line of
March—Hundreds Overcome by the
' Crush—:Column Wu: Six Hours
In Passing 11 Given Point. .
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.—-Yester-
day was the big'day of the Grhnd Army
encampment, and the city was aliveht an
cilrly hour. The presence in'the city of
President McKinley increased the in—
terest. and his ride ova: the {oute of the
parade aroused the greatest enthusiasm
I

among the throngs on the streets.
Shortly before 9- o’clock Admiral
Sampson and the captains of his fleet:
made a formal call upon the pi'eSident,
Mr. McKinley receiving‘them in the res;
ception room set apart for him during his .
stay at the Hotel IValton.
After the greetings were over the
presidential party entered carriages and
started over the route of the parade.
The president’s carriage was drawn by.
four richly caparisoned bay horses that
have been shown to advantage at horse
shows in _.~this, city and in New York.
With the president were Mayor AslI-'
bridge and General Louis ’W’agner, chair-
man of the G. A. I{._executive committee.
Then came Secretary of \Var loot,
Secretary of Agriculture VViIson, l’ro-
fessor Schurman of the Philippine com~
mission and Secretaries to the President
J. Addison Porter and G. B. Cortelyou. - '
They were followed by tear Admiral ,-
Sampson, Captain Chadwick of the flag-
ship New York and Lieutenant Com-
maner “Tinslow, Admiral Sampson’s flag
lieutenant.
Then came all the other captains of the
north Atlantic squadron, accompanied by :
their respective staffs. The G. A. R‘. rc-
ception committee and councils commit-
tgxs brought up the rear of the proces,
'sion. ’ —- . ‘- '
As the president started up Broad
street a great wave of cheering was
started that never ceased until the presi-
dent: had traversed the entire route of
parade and back again. The stands
along the route were crowded, and it was
an inspiring sight as their occupants
gvpuld rise en masse and cheer the chief -
executive. The heroes of the north At-
lantic squadron were not forgotten, and
they also received a generous hand.
The presidential party drove down
Chestnut street past the historic state-
house where the, nation was born, and
as: it swept by the president took off his
hat, which was the signal for a wild out-
burst of enthusiasm.
The party reached the reviewing stand
at 10:10 o’clock, and the president wait- 2
ed in the rooms of the director of public .
works until the head of the procession.
reached the-stand, when he again made ,
his appearance before the people.
The arrangements for the parade were I
complete in every detail. The head of'
the column .moved at 10 o’clock down
Broad street, east side of city hall, to
Market street, to Fourth, to Chestnut, to l
Broad, to Pine, where the parade szSI
dismissed.
Ihe distance covered was five miles.
Independence hall was passed during the
. rch, and caps were lifted and colors
gped by the veterans.
An interesting feature of the parade
was the chorus of 3,000 school children.
The children occupied a portion of the
grand stand on the north side of the city
hall and sang patriotic airs as the veter-
ans passed. .
Post No. 1, from Rockford, Ills., the
oldest post in the Grand Army, headed
the line.
General James W. Latta of this city
was chief marshal. '
Among the many relics of the civil war
which appeared in the parade was the
old, time worn and stained flag which
floated at the head of the line of the Illi-
nois division and at the right of the'
George H. Thomas post, No. 5. This
flag was used at General Thomas’ head-
quarters. It was carried at the right of
fine by the Society of the Cumberland in
Chicago at ,. the reception of General
Grant on his return from a trip around
the world. ,
At no celebration since the centennial
has this city seen the crowds which line
the streets along which the veterans
passed. The Avenue of Fame, with its
snow white columns and festoons of
bunting" and laurel, was the favorite
viewpoint.
From the fronts of the buildings to the
curb the people were packed in a solid
mass, and. even breathing was difficult.
As a result of the crush about 400 men,
women and children were overcome and
taken from the crowd to various hospi-
tals.
The parade was six hours and ten min—
utes in passing the reviewing stand.
After a portion of the department of
Pennsylvania had passed, those veterans
bringing up the rear, the president left to
visit Admiral Sampson’s fleet, Governor
Stone reviewing the remainder .of the
procession.
At the' head of each organization
marched military bands and drum corps.
and as the war scarred veterans moved
proudly along the streets tumultuous ap-
plause gree tel them, and a sea of hand-
kelcliicisandi small flags waved in ad-
miration and \Yl‘It'UlllL‘. '
W'hcn the Ohio posts appeared, the
aged paraders became wild with enthu—
siasm. One veteran broke Ianks :.:Id,
standing before his comrades, shouted.
“Three cheers for-the biggest man on
earth. Major \Villiam McKinley of
Ohiol", ‘ , .-
This invitation for cheers was followed
by a mighty roar. which was echoed and
re-echoed among the spectators for
blocks. ‘
. As the various posts passed in review
the president stood smiling and l)'>\\"ng
and on numerous occasions waved his
hand to the more enthusiastic «z-I’ f'ie
marchers. “Men the torn battle rings
were dipped in salute, he joined in the
applause by'clnpplng his hands,

IDREIENEDS MAY ICQ’DII DREYFUS.
The Testimony of Colonels Schwartz-
. happen and Panizz'ardi, German
.und. Italian Military Attaches
at- Paris In 1894, Is Desired.
RENNES, Sept. 6.——Maitre Labori
yesterday afternoon telegraphed personal
appeals to Emperor William and King
Humbert to grant permission to Colonel
Schwartzk'oppen and Colonel Panizzarui,
German and Italian military attaches in
Paris in 1894. to come to Rennes to tes-
tify in the trial of Captain Dreyfus. This
is the neWs of the day and the chief topic
of conversation in the cafes and resorts
of the journalists this evening.
The appeals werecouched in eloquent
terms invoking the assistance of their
majestic-s in the name 'of justice and hu-
manity. They are quite supplementary
to the formal application that will be
made by the government commissary,
'Major Carriere.
Thcjdemand of Maitre Laborithat the
court martial-should issue process, sub-
ject to the approval of the two soveiu
eigns, came like a thunderbolt at yester-
day’ssession. The step'is fraught with
momentous consequences, as it affords
Emperor \Villiam an opportunity again
to assume his favorite role of arbiter of
the destinies" of the world. No one will
be surprised if Schwartzkoppen, in the
declara-
tion that will practically decide the re-
sult of the trial. _
Both Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi
must consult their respective sovereigns
before starting, but the counsel for Cap-
tain‘Dreyfus fully expect them to arrive
here, if they come at all, in time to give
their testimony tomorrow, in which case
the trial would probably conclude this
week and the verdict be delivered on
Friday or Saturday. This is the view
that obtains now, differing somewhat
from the feeling earlier in the day.
Colonel Jouauit told Maitre Demange
at the close 5f the session that if he re-
ccived official notification that Colonels
Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi were
; coming to deposc, he would be prepared
to adjourn the trial pending their arrival.
An adjournment of ~18 hours would prob-
ably give them time to get here.
The appearance of Colonels Schwartz-
koppcn and Panizzardi would be the
mest sensational as well as the-most im-
portant incident of the entire trial. Their
depositions would be a formal and em-
phatic declaration that they never had
any relations with the accused, and they
would make such a statement that the
court must order an acquittal. Those
who are in the confidence of the counsel
intrustcd with the defense express a firm
conviction that Dreyfus will now be ac-
quitted.
Today’s session opens with closed doors
to hear from Eugene Cernuschi, the Aus-
trian political refugee, the name of the
foreign attache he has already mentioned
as admitting that he had received trea-
sonable documents from Dreyfus. The
remainder of his evidence will be given
in public. ‘
The courtroom was crowded yesterday,
and numerous applicants were refused
admission. Public interest is heighten-
ing immensely as the trial draws to a
close. It is astonishing what a large
proportion of ladies forms the audience,
their smart costumes and gay colors en-
livening the appearance of the chamber.
Indeed, the journalists, who themselves
have to encounter serious obstacles in
order to get admission, often find their
places invaded by women, who appar-
ently pass all barriers with very little
difliculty. _ _ .
Calcium’Light Tank Explodes.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—By the eXplosion
of a calcium light tank at 3-18 VVashing-
ton street two men 'were injured, one
perhaps fatally, and the first floor of the
building wrecked. The explosion was
heard for blocks, and the immense crowd
of people congregated-to witness the la-
bor parade were panic stricken for a
time. Howard'McCla‘nathan, an engi-
neer for the Chicago Calcium light com-
pany, the most seriously injured, was
blown through the plate glass windows
into the street. '

Butterflies Fill tll’e Air.
KINGSTON. N. Y.. Sept. 5.——A strange
sight was seen here yesterday when sud-

boys captured boxes full of them. At
times the roadways (were covered and
the a.r filled with them.‘ Where they
came from is a mystery. It is thought
they were blown in‘ from the' far west.
and it is feared that they will lay their

THE TRANSVAAL. SITUATION.
The People Will‘Demund a Reason
For the Mussing' of British Troops.
I’RETORIA, Sept. 6.—The .volksraad
has accepted Mr. Coestcr's motion to fix
the debates to grow out of the interpellae
tion of the government as to the as-
Transvaal borders for Thursday next.
In presenting his motion Mr. Coester
referred to “the Jameson raidand other
outrages and murders committed by Brit-
ish troops” as leading him to distrust the
present conCentration. ~He declared that
the convention. of 188idid not contain
the suzeraint‘y stipulation, and he main-
tained that Mr. Chamberlain had broken
that convention by interfering in the
internal affairs of the republic.
Other'burghers supported Mr. Coester,
saying that, while negotiations were pro-
Ceeding, all the British colonies were
offering armed assistance.
“And must the Transvaal remain si-
lent?” exclaimed a burgher. “It .is op-
posed to Christianity to conduct friendly
negotiations and yet mobilize troops.
We must know why the British troops
are on our borders.” 5
, The motion to _-wait until Thursday for
the government’s reply was agreed to
unanimously. '
‘Mr. Morley Opposes War.‘
.LONDON,: Sept. 6.—The Right Hon.
John Morley, Liberal, member of parlia-
ment for Montrose Burghs, addressing
his constituents last-evening at Arbroath,
dwelt upon the necessity of so shaping
British policy in dealing with the Trans-
vaal as to carry the friendly judgment of
:the Dutch population in South Africa
and not to divide the white races.
. "There could not'be,” said Mr. Mor-
=le’y, “a more insensatc example of human
:folly than a war that wouldbring added
burdens. “We do not wish to be a pirate
empire, and war with the Transvaal
would mean deep dishonor.”
The People Still Fleeing.
JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 6.———Public
anxiety shows no abatement, and the
gexodus of the population continues. The
staffs of several large financial houses
are leaving with their books for Cape
Town. At a public meeting held at
Bok burg the field cornet guaranteed the
sat ty of all the residents of the district.
He announced that the natives would be
transported immediately upon a declara-
tion of war in trucks that were waiting
at every railway station, and he advised
families to group themselves and that
Isuperintendents be appointed to take
charge of each group.
THE PHILIPPINE BLOCKADE.
It Is Being Discussed, but No Official
Proclxunation Has Been Issued.
W'ASHINGTON, Sept. 0.——The matter
of making an effective blockade in the
Philippines, and especially around the
island of Luzon, so as to prevent the
insurgents from obtaining ammunition
and supplies, is one that is giving the ad—
ministration considerable concern. It
has not been deemed feasible to proclaim
a blochade, as it would indicate a state
of war and possibly open a way to the
recognition of the insurgents.
Whether or not it is feasible to attack,
subdue and garrison all the ports of Lu-
zon which might serve as ports of supply
for the Filipinos has not yet been deter-
mined.
Heretofore there have not been suffi-
cient troops in Luzon to make this possi-
‘ble, and the question will now arise
whether troops had best be spared for
this purpose. The president has been ad-
vised that the navy should be utilized for
'the purpose of preventing the introduc-
tion of contraband of war and supplies
for the Filipinos.
At every port a naval vessel could be
stationed, and under the military law of
the island every vessel could be made to
exhibit its manifest. One trouble about
carrying out this plan is the fact that
,draft vessels to go into' all the places
where the Filipinos can receive their
supplies. '

The Alaska. Boundary.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.——The Alaska
boundary dispute is in a fair Way for set-
tlement. \Vere it not for theperversity
of certain Canadian officials in upsetting
arrangements just made, on the point of
final ratification, the state department
authorities would now regard the contro-
versy as over. To all appearances a sat-
isfactory settlement, is -in sight. This
has been the outlook for some time, but
the department oflicials have desired to
have as little as possible said of it on
account of the unfortunate effect on the
other side of the line of too much pub-
licity being given to diplomatic negotia-
tions.

Six Years’ Imprisonment. ’
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—John Y. Mc-
Kane died at his home in Gravesend at
6:15 o’clock last night. .
Mr. McKane had been ill for several
weeks. For several years there had been
indications of heart disease and kidney
disease, but it was not until Aug. 10 last
that any serious symptoms appeared.
He was overcome by vertigo on that day
and remained confined to his home for a
week or more. He then undertook to at-
tend to his business, but was not equal
to much exertion. On Sunday night Mr.
McKane retired early, and when his wife
called him early Monday morning he
failed to respond, and it was found that
he was unconscious. Since then until
the time of his death he remained in a
semicomatose and delirious condition.
His wife and mother and his daughter
Fannie and his blind son George were
~ present when the end came.
John Y. McKane, formerly the politi-
cal boss of Gravesend and Coney Is-
land, was born in County Antrim, Ire-
land, on Aug. 10, 184-1. His parents
came to this country when he was a lad.
and he learned the carpenter trade at
Gravesend. About all the large hotels
of Coney Island and two-thirds of the
smaller buildings were built under Mc-
Kane’s supervision.
McKane first became village constable.
Later he was appointed commissioner of
common lands, then was made supervisor
and president of the county boards of the
town of Gravesend. He had been a
Democrat in politics, but in 1887 he
quarreled with the party and the general
committee expelled him from the organi-
zation. He was then president of the
police, health and water boards, chief of
police and president of the board of su-
pervisors of Kings county and president
' of the town of Gravcsend.
He was reputed to be worth $1,000,000.
lie was a prominent member of the
Sheepshead Bay Methodist church and
superintendent of its Sunday'school.
He made his peace with the Demo'
cratic party in 1891, and was then at the
zenith of his power. But he became
too bold, and when William J. Gaynor
was a candidate for supreme court judge
and declared that he intended to devote
particular attention to the vote at Coney
Island controlled by McKane, Gaynor
sounded the death knell to the power of
the boss of Coney Island. Judge Gaynor
determined to have the registry lists at
Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay and Coney
Island inspected and copied for his in-
spection. This led to a conflict of au-
thority, which resulted in the indictment
of McKane for willfully instructing the
inspectors to violate the law in refusing
to expose publicly their registry lists for
inspection. He was tried, convicted and
sentenced to six years in Sing Sing pris-
on and entered the jail» to serve his time
on March 30, 1894. Influence of all kinds
was brought to bear on the governor to
obtain the pardon of McKane, but it fail-
ed, and he served his time, less the com-
mutation he had earned as a model pris-
oner. -
McKane was liberated on April 30,
1898, and returned to Coney Island, but
he never reassumed the reins of power.
owing principally to the fact that he was
unable to obtain a restoration of his citi-
zenship.

A Sunken Steel Steamer Has Closed
St. Mary’s River Channel. '
SAULTE STE. MARIE, Mich., Sept. 6'.
—The steel steamer Douglass Houghton,
the largest ship on the lakes, lies sunk
across the channel of St. Mary’s river at
Sailors’ Encampment and efiectually
”blocks the passage of all Lake Superior
commerce. All down bound boats are
being advised to wait here until some.
thing has been done with the wreck, and
.it is Said that it will take several days
to raise the steamer.
The Houghton, which belongs to the
Bessemer Steamship company, John D.
,Rockefeller’s fleet, was bound down from
Lake Superior, towing the big steel
schooner Fritz. Both were deeply loaded
with iron ore. W'hen they were in the
narrow channel at the Encampment,
where the current runs swiftly, the wheel
chains of the steamer parted, and she
swung around, grounding her bow on the
bank. The current swung the‘ stern
acrossthe channel, and the Fritz, with
all the impetus of 7,000 tons of iron ore
and 2,000 tons of ship, struck the Hough-x
ton on the side, cutting through the steel
plates like a tin can. The steamer sank
to the bottom at once in such a position
that the deep channel is effectually
blocked. '

The Revolutionary Leader Greeted
1Vith Great Enthusiasm.
PUERTO PLATA, Santo Domingo.
Sept. 6.—General Isidro Jimenez landed
here yesterday, having come from Cuba,
touching at Cape Haitien on the way.
He was received at the waterside by an
immerse throng. His reception, arrang-
ed by General Ramon Imbert, was en-
thusiastic. The news of Jimenez’s a1"
rival has been sent into the interior, and
it is believed that settled order and peace
will soon be restored. .
General Jimenez was accompanied by
50 armedrevolutionists, who were taken
on board the Georges Croise at Cape
Haitien. The populace hailed 'him as
the country‘s 'deliverer.
A delegation of 100 officials and prom-
inent merchants, headed by the governor
of the city, went on board the steamer to
greet him, returning after an absence of
nine years. The entire population was
at the wharf and escorted his carriage to
headquarters, where a reception was
held, thousands waiting for hours in the
intense heat to assure him of their sup-
port. ,
At night there was a popular demon-
stration, with a procession of soldiers
and citizens and speeches of welcome.
Puerto Plata and Santiago are Jimenez
strongholds. There is some uncertainty
regarding political conditions in the
southern districts, and there are rumors
of other aspirants planning to defeat
General Jimenez in that quarter.

END DE WAR NEAR.
Senator Carter. Believes Filié
_ pinos Will soon Yield.
IEIDE, IDI SErIIIIEIII, WILL RULE
The Islands “fill Be Retained by the
Americana it It Can Be Shown
That Their Ownership Will Be '
Profitable to This Country.
WASHINGTON,‘ Sept. ‘5.-—Senator
Chrter of Montana, in an interview with
{Post reporter yesterday, said that in
his opinion the war in the Philippines
would be ended by Jan. 1. Then, he
said, would come the question of the fu-
turedisposition of the islands. The Re—
pnbhcan party, he believed, would settle
this question by insisting that the reten‘
:thll of the Philippines is a matter of
business profit.
"‘This,” added the senator, “is a prac—
tical age. , We are going to'deal with this
question on-the basis of dollars and cents.
If the American people believe that'the
Philippines are geing to help us, they
will never letthe islands go. If, on the
other hand, they find that the Philippines
mean a constant strain and Small return,
you will find the verdict of the people to'
be against permanent retention. Neither
religion .nor sentiment will have much
influence in determining the verdict. The
great question will be, Will it pay? If;
we can show the country that it will, as
I think we can, the American flag will
never come down from the Philippines.”
"What sort of government should be
devised?”
“Three suggestions will undoubtedly be
made. The first will be to abandon the
islands entirely to the natives. I do not
believe this will meet the approval of the
American people. The second will be to
seize the islands in a firm grasp, assur-
ing the people that we mean to give them
a better government than they could en-
joy under any other flag or could create
for themselves, but that we are the mas-
ters and propose to remain so. Then the
third proposition will be to throw a loose
string around the people, holding their
seaports and custom houses with our
navy, but allowing them absolute free—
dom in their internal affairs. This free-
dom, in my judgment. would soon become
anarchy, and we would have to rule any
way, so I should say that the second
proposition is the one that ought to be
adopted. The firmer we are in our ad-
.ministration the more respect will those
people have for us.
“As to the form of government,” con—
tinued Senator Carter, “1 should say that
agovernor ought to be appointed by the”
president, with a council also selected by
him. There might be a Filipino legisla-
ture, composed of prominent men from
each of the islands, to discuss questions
and advise the governor. I do not ap—
prove of a commission. I think the au-
thority ought to be vested in a responsi-
ble head, not spread through several com-
missions.”
