suit of the crush about 100 men, women
and children were overcome and taken
from the crowd to various hospitals.
President Mckinley and Mayor Ash

The parade was six hours and ten
minutes in passing the reviewing stand
and $1,000 men were In line. At the
head of each organization marched
military bands and drum corps and, as
the veterans moved proudly along the
streets, tremendous applause greeted
hem and q sea of handkerchiefs and
mall flags waved in admiration and
welcome.
When the Ohio posts appeared the
aged paraders became wild with en-
thusiasm. One veteran broke ranks
and, standing before his comrades,
shouted: "Three cheers for the big
gest man on earth-Maj. William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio" This invitation for
cheers was followed by 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 bow
ing and, on numerous occasions, waved
his hand to the most enthusiastic OF
the marchers. When tho torn battle
flags were dipped in salute he Joined in
the applause by clapping his hands
At 4:l5 the president boarded the

Just as though an engagement was
about to start. The sight greatly
pleased the president. Mr.. Mckinley
was then shown over the whole ship.
The return Of the president to the
shore was an inspiring one. The
Texas was moored furthest up the
river and the presidential party had to
pass each of the great vessels on Its
return to shore. The river was alive
with craft crowded to their utmost
capacity and a great noise was being
made. AS the barge neared the flag
ship. the signal was given to salute
and six big ships again belched forth
terrific salute. Every man and officer
on the ship stood attention and the

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.
Prof schurman Takes . Hopsfrl View OF
tho Situation and IL Contident Of
Successful solution.

Washington. Sept. 6.-Although the
report OF Prof. Schurman to the cabi-
net was not all that could be wished
for, It was not discouraging, II is as
serted. The head of the Philippine
commission, while not blinded to the
difficulties which confront the admin
istration in the Philippines, takes a
hopeful view OF the situation. He adj
mits 1t is hard problem, but is cont
dent that with patience and persever-
ance 1t can be solved to the advantage
both of the Filipinos and the United
States. After hearing all Prof. Schur-
man had to say the president concluded
that the existing conditions in the
Philippines were not suspicious for n
continuance of the negotiations be-
tween the commission and the Fill
pinos. There will be no further ne
gotiutions with the insurgents for the
present.
Gen. Otis will not be hampered in
his fall campaign by the civil commits
sioners. Neither Prof. Schurman nor
Admiral Dewey will return to Manila,
and 1t is probable that Col. DENLY and
Prof. Worcester will soon receive in
structions, IL they have not had them
already, to return home and prepare n
report for submission to congress.
When the Filipinos find they have to
deal with the military alone and are
to secure no respite until they uncon-
ditionally surrender, they are likely to
lose hope. This, at least, is the belief
Of the administration. Gen. Otis and
his army. under instructions from the
president. will allow the rebels no rest
once the fall campaign has been in
augurated in earnest. When they are
forced to give up their trenches through
inability to stand the fire of the Amer
lean artillery, they are not to be al
lowed, as heretofore, to retreat with
out pursuit and construct new trenches
at their leisure. After the artillery
and infantry have dislodged them and
forced them to flee, the cavalry will
pursue them relentlessly. To get away
they will have TO abandon arms and
food supplies. and they are bound to
be soon reduced to n condition where
there will be Nothing left for them but
surrender.
The president has declared his belief
that the Philippines are us much a part
OF the United States as Louisiana OF
Texas. That congress will decide to
contract the country's domain he does
not credit; but II congress should SC
decide he will interpose no obstacle,
but will carry out the expressed will
of congress in that as he has in all mat
tiers growing out of the war with Spain
for Cuban freedom.

proven success. Some 2.40O gallons
Of residuum oil was sprinkled over u

70 be sufficient to lay the dust on a
