Gen: Miles Delivers an Ora
tiOn in Independence
Square
ADDRESS IS PATRIOTIC
Regarding Philippines He Declares
Full and Impartial Justice Must
Be Done Her
People.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 4.-As
has been the custom for years the city
of Philadelphia celebrated the 126th
anniversary of the signing of the Dec
laration of Independence in this city
by holding patriotic open air exer-
cises in independence Square. The
celebration today was of unusual in
terest because of the presence of Lieut..
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who delivered
the grafton. He was enthusiastically
greeted by 5000 persons when he was
introduced. After his address he held
reception which lasted about a half
hour. Later in the day the general was
entertained by a committee of city
councilmen at luncheon and was also
an interested spectator of the regatta
on the Schuylkill river. He left the
city late in the afternoon.
Gen. Miles address was a patriotic
one in which he beautifully traced the
time. With reference to the Philippine
islands he said, in part:
''The problem of the Philippine ISL
ands is one of serious moment involv-
ing expenditure of valuable life and
vast treasure. Although the subject
is attracting marked attention and ex-
citing bitter discussion, there can be
but one final solution. That must be
one in which the honor, the integrity
and high character of our government
are preserved and maintained beyond
any peradventure. Full and impartial
justice must be accorded to the 10000
900 of people who are now at our mercy
and whose present veal and future
destiny depend upon a nation that is
strong and whose people are true"

TAMMANY ALSO CELEBRATES.
Bourke Cochran Delivers the Principal
Speech.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Tammany
Hall today celebrated the 126th ami
versary of American independence. The
programme differed little from that of
the Fourth of July celebrations held
at the wigwam in former years. w.
Bourke Cochran, who recently return
ed to the Tammany fold, delivered the
principal address, and the other long
talk" was made by Supreme Court
Justice O'Gorman.
United States Senator George ].
Vest, of Missouri, sent a letter of re-
gret, in which he said: There has
never been time in the history of our
country when the free institutions es-
tablished by our fathers were in more
peril than at present. The announce
ment is definitely made that we have
outgrown the Swaddling clothes of
1776, and must join the world powers
in trampling upon human rights and
the teaching of Washington and JEFF
ferson.'"
William Jennings Bryan, in sending
regrets, said: "Tammany can help the
Democratic party by throwing the in
f1uence of the organization upon the
side Of honest methods, and upon the
side of honest platforms, platforms
which will set forth in clear and un-
ambiguous language the peoples side
of every issue. Those who employ
deceive the people, but those who be-
lieve in equal rights to all and would
deny special privileges to any must
rely upon the merits of their cause and
make an open and manly appeal to the
conscience and intelligence of the peo-
ple."
Ex-senator D. B. Hill said in his
letter of regret: "The foreign policy
of the present national administration
in relation to the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands is disgrace to CIV
ilization. 1t repudiates the principles
Of the Declaration of independence.
The present Republican congress has
accomplished little or nothing for the
benefit of the people. 1t has not only
failed to do justice to Cuba, but it has
also failed to relieve the consumers of
the United States. The administra-
TONS most advertised measure of
diluted reciprocity has already come
to grief. The astonishing and siren
uous defense of Gen. Wood in regard to
the Cuban frauds, contained in the re-
cent harangue of the perambulating
president Of the United States on a
concededly non-partisan occasion, has
fixed the responsibility for the crime
upon the administration, which it can
not now avoid"

EXPRESS MESSENGER
KANE WILL RECOVER
Charles NessIer, Who Claims He Was
Forced Into the Deal, Is Under
Arrest-Goods Stolen Consist
l.. of Cheap JeweIry.

CHICAGO, July 4.-With half
hundred men on their trail, and the
promise of a desperate battle and
probably death for their portion if
they should be overtaken, the two
bandits who halted the Rock Island
railroads Denver Limited train at
midnight Thursday and escaped after
seriously wounding one of the express
messengers, are still at large.
All during the night and through
today they pushed on through the
farming country, stealing a buggy or
wagon here and there, and abandon
ing the teams when they were too ex-
hausted to carry them farther. Farm
ers and residents in the little town in
the vicinity of the raid swept over the
surrounding fields and prairies in the
hunt, but never a glimpse was had of
the fugitives. Occasionally a rumor
of their whereabouts was obtained,
but the utmost haste in organizing a
pursuit failed to overhaul them.
Kane Will Recover.
James Kane, the veteran express
messenger, who was shot down by
the robbers while he stood with his
hands elevated above his head, was
brought to Chicago, and, it is believed,
will recover.
Charles Nessler, the dupe and decoy
of the bandits, who was captured on
the ground after they had fled, was
brought from Joliet during the day by
Sheriff Magerstadt, but the officers do
not believe he will be of much assist
ance in running down the fugitiVes

and the bandits tried to carry out the
programme without sufficient force to
protect themselves from an attack.
Looking for Big Money.
The detectives engaged in the in
Vestlgation and the pursuit now being
pushed all over Illinois are satisfied
that the robbers hoped to force the
big safe which contained somewhere
In the neighborhood of $4,000, and
only the precipitate shooting of the
messenger defeated them in this prof.
ect. When they fed they carried
with them several packages of cheap
jewelry, valued at about $500, and
quantity of catalogues and patent
medicine bottles, which they appar-
entity thought were bundles OF valu-
ables.

TRACY MUST LEAD
A CHARMED LIFE
Hunted by Hundreds of Armed and
Determined Men He Is Yet
at Liberty.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 4.-On roads
ambushed and patrolled by guards
armed with new Winchester rifles Con-
vict Harry Tracy has escaped. His
whereabouts in a district of twenty
miles radius is absolutely unknown.
Sheriff Cudihee's Office has been de-
luged with reports of his appearance.
Each was traced down to it's source by
posses. All were groundless. Neil Raw
ley, shot by Tracy when the convict
killed Policeman Breeze at Fremont
last night, died today. Deputy Sheriff
Williams is not dead yet, and has a
good chance to live.
Up to this time Tracy has killed
three men since his first appearance
near Seattle Thursday morning. All
three were well known and popular
here. This has melted hundreds to
join in with the hunters. One hard
ware store, named to supply arms for
the posse, has given out it's complete
stock. Specials are leaving on the
railway leading into the adjacent coun-
try every few hours with reinforce
ments. Parties are dropped off all
along the route between here and Rot
hell.
AZ dDOuI y CLOCK LQlS morning
Tracy was first seen after his encoun-
ter at Fremont at house on the out
skirts of Ballard. He shouted his name
defiantly to the occupants, and coolly
proceeded to unhitch horse and bug
gy. He drove away south of the town
of Ballard in the direction of Seattle.
The next authentic reports brought
to the sheriff after daybreak this
morning contained the information
that the man had evidently slept in
Woodland park, within the Seattle
city limits. He left the park shortly
before sunrise in his stolen rig.
Though suburban residents in every
quarter have notified the sheriff of
strange men supposed to be Tracy, in
their neighborhood, the most reliable
report received after that of Tracys
departure from Woodland park is
that of his appearance near Bothell,
where yesterdays desperate encoun-
ter was fought.
The t-Intelligencer's correspond
ent, in bulletin sent from Bothell
this afternoon, stated that the convict
was reported to have been seen about
three miles south of Bothell, driving
on the country roads. Posses were
called in and picketed in circle
about the neighborhood where he was
supposed to be. They beat the brush

Believing that Tracy had eluded them
by some divergment path leading to-
ward Lake Washington on the east,
Sheriff Cudihee recalled the greater
part of his immediate deputies and
their volunteer helpers and returned
to Seattle, establishing a Gordon Of
pickets along the entire road. He pro-
poses to populate. the entire surround

parties of from three to seven mem
