San FranciscO.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4-San Fran
cisco's celebration of the national anniver-
sary to-day was the most elaborate and
successful in many years. Rarely has there
been such picturesque procession in this
city. Twelve thousand men were in line
comprising the regular garrison at the Pre-
sidio and also the regiments and detach-
ments en- route to Manila. The army divis-
ion was commanded by Colonel Freeman.
Z. 8. A., post commander of the Fresidio
reservation.
In line, too, were veterans of the civil and
Mexican wars and Cuban campaign, as well
general hospital at the Presidio and recent
ly returned from the Philippines. This was
feature of the procession especially sug-
gested and carried out by Mayor Phelan.
The convalescents rode in carriages pro-
vided by the mayor. Most of these SOL
diers looked pale and wan. many were ban.
daged, and here and there crutch peeped
out of carriage.
The most garish feature of the procession
was the Chinese division. comprising 80
men in gaily colored costumes. with six
Oriental bands and eight Mongolian Heats.
The parade, which moved with military
promptness and precision. occupied more
point The long line was reviewed on Van
Ness avenue by Major General Shafter.
In the afternoon literary exercises were
held in the Metropolitan temple, and to-
night elaborate and original displays of
fireworks are illuminating the sky in vari-
Gus part Of the city.
The ships along the water front Joined in
ers and national flags were everywhere in
evidence. The British ships in port were
conspicuous by the gorgeousness Of their
array.

city's formal exercises were held at Tre-

Matthews, Jr., delivered the annual Fourth

Mr.. Matthews was greeted with hearty ap-
plause and his address was frequently in
terrupted by outbursts of commendatory
character.
Ex-Mayor Matthews spoke upon the pol

"The question is not whether we shall
let the Philippines govern themselves, but
whether we shall allow a small portion Of
them to misgovern all the rest. We have
no more right to abandon those islands
and their occupants to savage or semi
civilized misrue than Dewey had to scuttle

UPH0LDS M'KINLEY'S POLICY
SAYS FIRST THING TO BE DONE IS TO
WHIP AGUINALDO.
After That 1t VIII BE Time Enough
to Consider Question of Philip
pine Government-Patrio
Talks at MaryvilIe'z
Celebration.

MARYvILLE, MO, July 4.-(special.)
Ex-senator William A. PETER, of Kansas.
was the principal speaker at the Fourth
of July celebration in Maryville this after
noon. Mr.. PETERS address was notable
chiefly because of the warmth with which
he defended the administrators policy in
dealing with the Filipinos. He said, In
the course of his address:
Scarcely had the smoke of battle be-
tween Americans and Spaniards blown
from over Manila, when that part of the
earth began to show signs of American
prosperity and order. Everything went
along smoothly until some of our soldiers
were fired upon by certain ruffians with
guns in their hands. 1t Immediately became
our governments duty to defend the lives
of our soldiers, and the honor of our coun-
try. and to secure and preserve peace and
order in those islands. When this has been
done. it will be time enough to talk to
Aguinaldo and his friends about questions
of government: Every man and woman in
the Union should stand by the administra-
ton while this is being done. When it has
been done we can find time to dispute
among ourselves about minor questions.
Those who oppose this policy tell us that
it is contrary to the constitution. / have
been unable to find a word in the consti-
tuition about Spain or Manila, and l recall
that the constitution stood the strain of
annexing Louisiana and Texas, and Flor
ida and Alaska, and Hawaii very well.
They tell us. too. that we are violating
the principles of the declaration of inde
pendence by enforcing our government
upon people without their consent. Will
you open the doors of our prisons and
| turn out all the men who are incarcerated
| there against their consent? This country
| originally belonged to the Indians. but did
| the white man then permit the Indian to
| ravish and burr and kill because to re-
strain him woul1 be to govern him with
| out his consent?
| "AguinaIdo and his followers never were
in control of the Philippine islands. They
never were IN control of Luzon. They had
no local or national standing. We were
| dealing directly with Spain during the
| war and when the Spanish fleet was sunk
and Manila captured the Philippines came
| into our control under the international
| code, and We became directly responsible
for them and the acts of their inhabitants
| in the eyes of the world. They are ours
| to dispose of as much as Is the ground
upon which we stand, or any other terri
| ton did not put down that rebellion it
| would be as derelict in Its duty as 1t would
| be If 1t failed to put down a rebellion in
| Missouri or Kansas or Texas
+ These sentiments were loudly applauded.

his experiences in the country's new pos
sessions. A large crowd was in town and

help to advance the day when the might
of the sword shall give way to the right
of the judge. The principle of arbitration
it viii triumph. The Conference at The
Hague, the uncompleted treaty between
England and the United States for per-
Ian arbitration are all prophetic of ulti-
mate success. The judge will replace the
soldier, and right will replace might. God
grant that the hero of the new CIVILIZATION
may be an American.
General Porter expressed his pleasure in
meeting so many prominent representatives
of the sister republic and in seeing the m
tertwined flags, reyiving hallowed memo
ries of days when the two nations were so
closely associated in history.
He referred to the American school chill
and the American women's statue OF
Washington, about to be presented to
France as a fitting return for the generous
gift of the statue of Liberty.
