GREAT OVATION FOR ROBSON
THE WEATHER WAS TONIC AUTUMN

Philadelphia, October 27.-For three hours today William Mckinley, commander-in- chief of the United States army and navy. received his victorious sons. It was mili- tary and naval day of the great peace jubi- lee. Twenty-Five thousand men marched in the most brilliant and spectacular pageant this city has witnessed in many years. AS these legions pressed past his face was set, but not stern, and in his eyes was a gleam of satisfaction. From his steadfast gaze one might have fancied him listening to sounds other than those which struck on the common ear-sounds of deeper inn port, telling the meaning of this glittering panorama. Behind those martial tunes he might have heard the music of cannon vol leys, the sound of falling cities and the dying shrieks of a decadent people. But over these and louder he might have heard paens of praise from a helpless infant na- tion lifted out of servitude and cruelty by the work of these embattled hosts. Yet the central theme and motive of it all was one of joy and pride in the men and their work and the nation of which they are.
 This was the true significance of the event. Here and there, when some par
  by the president smiingly waved his hat and motioned the crowds across the way to cheer.
 Tonic Autumn
 There was not an untoward feature of the day-the weather was tonic autumn sunlit, gusty; the vast crowds were ham dled with commendable skill, and whatever accidents occurred were of the most trivial character.
 During the parade the president was sur rounded by small party consisting or Vice President Hobart, Secretary or War Alger, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Postmaster General Smith, Private Secre- taries Porter and Cortelicu, Mayor War wick and a few members of the jubilee committee. -.s..
 After breakfast MT. Mckinley and his party were driven in open carriages along the route of the parade. about seven miles in length. The drive was, of course, mark ed by incessant applause from the crowds. While driving up Broad street the party was passed by General Miles and his staff, who were riding to the place of formation. The moment the generals sword made its salutatory sweep the president arose in the carriage and raised his hat, holding it aloft until they had passed.
 At 11:20 o'clock the platoon of the emer- gency corps, which held the head of the line reached the stand, and from then un- tramped on in splendid marching order every sword raised in salute, every gun presented.
 Many illustrious heroes were in line, but there was little partiality displayed in the kind or quantity of enthusiasm accorded them.
 Major General Miles, as chief marshal, rode at the front, immediately behind the emergency corps, until he reached his spe cal reviewing stand at Broad and York streets, the northern end of the route. Here he dismounted and from the stand watched his men file past.
 Gen. "Joe" Wheeler
 General Zoe" Wheeler rode behind the governors, his gray head barred for some minutes before and after the presidential stand was reached and lowing repeated ly to the presidents waving hat and the applause of the others of the party and the people generally.
