They came not enly from Pittsburg and Allegheny, but gfrom the scores of industrial towns within 200 miles of the city. It was the distin- guished guest’s first visit to Pittsburg as president and his welcome was most en- thustastic.

Guns Boom President's Salute. The guns of: the battery immediately commenced to boom forth the president's salute of twenty-ome guns. The last gun of the salute was fired as the president stepped from bis ocar. The president was then escorted to his carriage. Those who occupled the carriage with President Roosevelt were City Re- \corder J. O. Brown, United States Attor- ©. Knox and George B. Cor- telyou, secretary to the president. The other carriages in waiting were promptly fllled by the reception committee. The Bugler of Sheridan troop sounded the a sembly call, which was the W-«I"n.l for ‘Brigadior General John A.

Rival Candidates Ride Together. Among the prominent guests who rode in carriages were Governor W. A. Stone, Congressmen Dalzell, Acheson, Jack and .Graham. Interest centered in the unique feature of the republican and democratic candidates for governor, Judge Samuel W. Pennypacker and Robert E. Pattlson, re- epectively, both of Philadelphia, riding to- gother in one carriage. They were ac- companied by George T. Oliver and Albert J. Barr, editors of republican and demo- eratic papers, respectively, of this city. Plags and bunting fluttered everywhere along the course of parade. People crowded the windows of the tall buildings, lling themselves hoarse in greeting the Pation’s chiet executive. The greatest ova- tion came as the llne passed up Fifth ave- nue to the top of Grant's hill. High bulldings on eliher side of the street of- fered fine vantage poluts for spectators. ‘When ! bhead of the military escort yeached & position opposite the speaker's stand it was balted and stood In company front with arms at present. As the presi- dent and those in carriages passed in re- view the band struck up the stirring strains of “Hall to the Chief.” The music was fuirly drowned by the cheering of the 200,000 persons in the stand and occupylng vantage polnts on the amphitheater-like hillside which rose in front. Following the band pl German socleties of All one side of the stand wolees broke into singing “The Star Span- gled Banner.” Prayer in Offered.

Arthur Ferguson, secretary to Governor Taft, read the proclamation in the pres- ence of a small gathering, the heat having dispersed the crowd when the parade ended The prisoners freed by the proclamation, estimated to number 600, were released without ceremony.

His destination Is not announced. The exiles on the island of Guam are ex- pected to return here on a special steamer. The observance of the national holiday is general. The city is decorated and the ships are flying all their flags. The cele- bration was typically American, even to the firecrackers.

SAVAGE AND M'BRIDE DRIVE FIRST RIVET on of Great Battle Swikgs “osition and Two Governors, svea Rolled Up, Com- Task Amid Cheers, SEATTLE, Wash,, July 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The first keel of a battleship for the United States navy ever lald on July 4 was that of the battleship Nebraska, laid In the ship yards of Moran Bros. this morn- ing. The first rivet in the big steel otruc- ture was driven by Governor Savage of Nebraska and Governor McBride of Wash- ington In the “resence of 10,000 people. Despite the pouring rain, the big sheds of the ship yards were crowded with people, who remained for the last and most Inter- esting feature of the day—the driving of the rivet by the governor. A detall of ma- rines from the navy yard at Bremerton was drawn up at “present arme’ as Governors Savage and McBride, followed by their re- spective staffs, marched onto the big platform where the exercises were to take place. The marine band furnished the music for the occasion. A governor's fired from off the floating drydock when it became known the Nebraska party had entered the grounds. The ceremony was witnessed by many officers of the regular service in the United States army and navy, but the uni- forms of the regular soMlers, as well as those of the staff of the Washington gov- ernor, paled beside that of the Nebraska militarymen as, bespangled with gold braid and gold lace, they strode to their places in the grandstand erected for them. The many women in the two parties made a bright picture in the stands as their co tumes mingled with the blliant uniforms of the officers. Nebraska in Evidence, The entire plant was decorated for the occasion. The big traveling cranes, which pick up a plece of steel welghing 100 tons with the same ease that a child lifts a toy, had the word “Nebraska” running the full length across them, worked in incandescent globes, and every time the cranes were set in motion the word appeared in letters of light. The pennant of the governor of Ne- braska was placed 'in the center of the re- viewing stand and behind it stood Gov- ernors Savage and McBride, with their staffs grouped behind them. Judge Burke, master of ceremonies, grew eloquent in his address upon the growth of the Pacific coast maratime affairs and drew a vivid picture of the part Seattle is to play as the metropolls of the Pacific. The Ne- braska delegation vigorously applauded the sentiment that the “flag is In the Philip- pines to stay,” Governor Savage leading in the hand clapping. Governor McBride address of welcome was brief and of the most friendly char- acter. He referred to the fact that many of Nebraska's sons are now ecitizens of this state and sal ““Nebraska's loss is Wash- ington's gain” in this respect. Governor Bavage was given an ovation when he took the speaker's stand to reply and his remarks were frequently inter- rupted by applause. The governor dwelt upon the necessity for a powerful navy to protect the ever-increasing commerce of the United States and that this country must maintain & big pavy in order to keep its place as one of the world's powers. He pald a high tribute to thel patriotism of Nebraska's sons and their prompt response to every call of duty. Governors Drive Rivet. Then, while the marine band broke into the merry straing of “Dixie,” the signal was given for the big eranes to hoist in place the keel of the battleship. As the big plece of steel settled down upon the blocks the two governors walked down the gangplank from the receiving stand to- gether, while the crowd cheered enthu- slastically. Both the governors are big men and looked with disdain upon the small hammers furnished them to drive the rivet. They wanted sledges. Governor Savage promptly removed his coat and rolled up his sleeves. Governor McBride also removed his coat, and when a work- man slipped the redhot rivet in place Governor Savage struck the first blow, closely followed by Governor McBride. The governors beat a tatoo upon the rivet, while the band switched over to the “Star- Spangled Banner. The officers on the stand took up the refrain, the big crowd jolned in and the last blows were drowned in the strains of the national air. Little Malcom Moran, youngest son of the president of the company which is to bulld the battleship, presented Governor Savage with a very pretty souvenir of the occasion, It was the first plece of steel punched from the keel of the battleship. The steel js handsomely mounted on a plece of wood taken from the famous old battleship Hartford and is suitably en- graved, stating the occasion for the cele- bration. ‘When the governors had finished riveting the bolt President Moran presented each of them with a pay check of the com- pany, regularly made out, ealling for 3 cents, that being the value of the time which they worked. Governor Savage promptly declared a strike for higher wages, warmly seconded by Washington's governor, and they put on their coats. The entire party will be taken on a visit to the navy yard tomorrow to visit the battleships Oregon and Wisconsin. ~ The big drydock will be flooded to show the visitors how battleships are placed in the dock. Sunday the visitors will be the guests of the Knights Templar on an ex- cursion to Lake Washington. Sunday night they leave here for the south. MOODY ASKS SOME ADVICE Refers Proposition of Commercial Pacific Cable Company to Attorney Gemeral, WASHINGTON, July 4.—The offer of the Commercial Pacific Cable company to fin- ish the work of laying a cable across the Pacific and give the government the benefit of reduced rates for communication in ex- change for the information developed in the soundings taken by the United States steamship Hero in ite survey of 1899, ca earlier than at first promised and has been referred by Secretary Moody to the attorney general for an opinion. Admiral Bradford, chief of the naval bureau of equipment, under whose jurisdiction the matter falls, reported in favor of the com- pany’s offer, though, It s said, under con- ditions which are regarded in some quar- ters as rather stringent. The matter at this stage aad assumed & phase which the secretary regarded as of sufficient complexity to warrant its submission to the head of the law department of the government, — MORNING, JULY 5, 1902—-TWELVE PAGES.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR CANAL Secretary Hay and Minister Concha of Colombia Have Prelim. inary Talk WASHINGTON, July 4.—The negotiations for the treaty between the United States and Colombia, from which we will acquire the right to build the Panama canal, will begin in about one week, Minister Concha of Colombia having conferred with Secre- tary Hay on the preliminaries of the ne- gotiations, Mr. Hay will be out of the ecity for the next few days and on bis return the ne- gotlations will begin. Minister Concha has been fully clothed with authority to proceed with the treaty. The main features of the treaty are pretty well settled, as the protocol signed some time ago was quite full in setting forth the prospective arrangement in case congress acted favorably on the Panama route. The amount to be paid Colombla for a relinquishment of exclusive rights to the United States will be $7,000,000.n gold, payable on the exchange of ratifications of the treaty, and in addition Colombla is to recelve an annuity at the end of fourteen years, to be determined by mutual agree- ment at that time. This Annuity is ex- pected to be $600,000 a year, as the imme- diate payment of $7,000,000) covering the period of the next fourteenlyears is con- sidered a basis for fixing the anoual rental at $600,000. | In transterring the rights of Colombla to the United States the language used by the act of ‘congress will be followed to & con- siderable extent, and there will be a trans- fer of such jurisdiction over the six-mile zone as will permit the exercise of Amerl- can authority, with American courts, sani- tary officers, police, ete. The question of transterring complete political sovereignty is about the only point which could raise obstacles to the negotiations, but it is ex- pected that this point will be avolded, as the act of congress appears to contemplate a transfer of jurisdiction and mot a trans- fer of political sovereignty. The Colomblan offictals at Washington look forward to a successful consummation of the negotiations. They say, however, that there is far less popular demand In Colombia for the Panama canal than there is In Nicaragua for the Nicaragua route, and this apathy may delay the conclusion of negotlations. The treaty will have to be ratified by the United States senate and the Colomblan congress before it becomes effective, TO USE WIRELESS SYSTEM Signal Corps is Expected to Conduct Interesting Experiments in elegraphy. WASHINGTON, July 4—It is quite prob- able that the signal corps of the army will use a system of wireless telegraphy in the coming joint army and naval ma- neuvers. » General Greeley has designated a special board to consider what experiments In communication will be. attempted at these maneuvers by the army, and the question to whether the forces will dattempt to use & wireless system in tha 'Fflmll will be decided by it. sl s B The ‘Navy department ‘doer. not expect to use wireless telegraphy in the maneu- vers this summenr, as it h not yet de- cided upon a system. Lieutenant Hudgins of the equipment bureau has been abroad for some time looking into the various wireless systems developing in Europe and is expected to arrive here very shortly, which should enable the department to make a selection of some system to ex- periment with. It is the hope and expectation of the officlals that wireless communication can be made a part of the great naval ma- neuvers which will take place in the Caribbean sea next winter. A part of the material purchased by Lieutenant Hudgins abroad already has ar- rived at the Washington navy yard, but has not been unpacked. It conslsts of ap- paratus belonging to a French system. GETS MONEY BY PROMOTION Lieutenant Busch Will Secure $1,000 from German Estate as Re- sult of His Rank. WASHINGTON, July 4.—An interesting and unusual incident has come to light In connection with the appointment of Lieu- tenant Carl F. Busch to the army. Lieu- tenant Busch comes from the ranks and was recommended for appointment as sec- ond lleutenant because of his strict atten- tion to duty and manifest fitness for such advancement. His father is Baron Busch of Berlin and the parent has now written to Secretary Root asking to be furnished properly attested evidence that his son has been appointed an officer in the United States army in order that the courts may authorize the Busch estate to pay to the son the sum of $1,000. A legacy established about 200 years ago by a military-loving ancestor bestowed on each member of the family who obtained & commission In auny of the armies of the world the above stated sum, to be used for the purpose of equip- ment. The young officer is now serving in the Philippines with the Twenty-ffth in- fantry. CONFER ON MILITARY POSTS Secretary Root Talks with Official Friends Relative to Allotm of Appropriations, WASHINGTON, July 4—Secretaries Moody and Poot epent several hours in their offi- ces today. The first named was engaged in clearing up his private correspondence. Secretary Root was in consultation with Adjutant General Corbin, Quartermaster General Ludington, General Young of the war college board, and Major George Ruh- len of the quartermaster department re- ting $3,850,000, for military posts. There is a great demand for additional quarters at most of the posts in the coun- try to accommodate the troops returning from eervice in the Philippines and it is the purpose of the department to begin the construction of the necessary barracks and quarters with the least poesible delay. FIVE HURT AT CROSSING Great Northern Pa ger Train Crashes Into Buggy at Monti- cello, Minnesota. MONTICELLO, Minn., July 4.—Five per- sons were injured, some of them seriously in a crossing accident here today. The Great Northern passenger train struck a double seated buggy, Harry Evers, aged 15, Willle Evers, 11, Roy Sutton, 10, Andrew Hall, 55, and a boy named Nygaard, were injured and taken to a Minneapolis hot pital.

There are days—and next days. This is cne of the next days. Everybody knows what yesterday was. And everybody, knowing what it was, ob- served it in the manner he preferred, for observance of holidays is one of the mat- ters in which Americans apply the prin- ciple of “free and equal rights” with espe- onscientlousness. The man who wished 0 somewhere” went, and the man who wished to stay at homs stayed, except, of course, In those instances where the better half of the establishment ha'd a different wish and a mightier will. There was no gathering greater than the rest; mo single event that overshadowed all the others. The Eagle screamed in numerous places and the patriot with the borrowed revolver was just as much of a nuisance at one point as at any other. The small boy on Q street was no busier and no worse than the small boy on Ames avenue, and one park manager had no bet- ter reason to rejoice than had the others. , Parks Most Popular. Indeed, i a distingulshing appellation were needed this Fourth might well be called “Park day” for it was to the shaded resorts that all the celebrants who left home at all seemed to have gone. About 1,000 went to Waterloo on the Letter Carrier's excursion and had their sport in a grove there. The delegation to Manawa was so large that it swarmed Douglas street to the bridge, and cars fllled to greatest capacity before they reached the customary loading points on Fourteenth. At Krug's park there was a crowd of more than 5,000 for several hours of the afternoon and the total for the day is several times that. The wind was too strong for a satistactory balloon ascension, but the Forester's bicycle road race and the shoot for a diamond medal were added to the usual list of attractions. At Court- land beach the Thurston Rifies’ drill was the principal magnet and was witnessed by thousands. Diversity at Elmwood. At Elmwood park, the Silentium associa- tion, the Soclalists, and a crowd of col- ored people picnicked within ffty yards of each other and the Socialists and mutes had exercises, but nelther disturbed the other. Varlous societles were at other parks. At the Vinton Street base ball ground the Elks' team of Omaha defeated their opponents from the Council Bluffs lodge, 33 to 6. The Young Men’s Christian asso- clation of Omaha defeated the Young Men's Christian association of South Omaba, 10 to 8, at the association park, with the ‘Willard brothers as battery for Omaha apd Finley and Collins for South Omaha. Accidents of serfous pature were none, and the trivial omes were exceptionally few, It was at no time a “blistering” day and by 6 in the evening the breeze that blew {all day had become quite cool. It was strong enough during the day to spoil the best scores of the golfers, but the golfers say that they can stand it as otherwise, at both the Century and Field clubs, the day was an exceptionally pleacant one. DIVERSIFIED BILL AT KRUG'S PARK. Drill Teams, Gunners and Acrobats Entertain Thousands, It was estimated that at 4 o'clock Fri- day afternoon there were 5,000 people at Krug's park, though this number repre- sents only a small proportion of those who visited the park during the day. From noon until midnight every car on the Benson line was crowded. There were many private plenicking partles and ice cream and soda water booths did a rush- ing business all day. Owing to the high wind the balloon ascension scheduled for the day was omitted, as it was feared the big bag ‘would be ignited iIf an attempt were made to fnflate it. Beno and the Walker broth- ers gave their slack wire and trapeze per- formances, however, and Huster's Concert band gave a program made up entirely of patriotic airs, Prof. Huster giving a trom- bone solo and John C. Lott a cornet solo. The Independent Order of Foresters gave & bicycle road race just outside the grounds, $200 in prizes being awarded to the winners. The contestants started from the east entrance of the park and scorched two miles south and return, mak- ing a four-mile race. O. Peterson won the time prize and the sweepstakes, time 10:30; Arch Turner wou the second time prize, time 10:34. The second prize was won by Guy Brown; third, M. Southman; fourth, J. Lalrd; fitth, Albert Smith; sixth, E. M. Mehcquist; seventh, J. Lewls; eighth, J. Greenberg; ninth, John Me- i Elroy; tenth, Roy Mitchell; eleventh, Arch ‘Turner. The crack drill team of Alpha camp, ‘Woodmen of the World, gave an exhibi- tion drill in the arena, which proved one of the most popular attractions of the day. In the Dickey Bird Gun club shoot, just outside the grounds, Frank Parmelee and Frank Fogg tled for the expert prize of a diamond medal, making each a straight score of twenty-five bluerocks. They agreed not to shoot off the tie, but to give the medal back to the club to be shot for by the amateurs. Frank R. Maryott made the second best score in the expert class, getting twenty-four bluerocks out of a total of twenty-five. In the amateur class the gold medal won by W. A. Hooper, making twenty-four out of twenty-five. Both medals were of gold, wrought in ap- propriate design. During the evening the usual exhibition of the “‘Passion Play” was given and was witnessed by thousands. THREE PICNICS AT ELMWOOD PARK. Silentium Assoeiation, Socialists and Colored People Turn Ou: The soclalists, the Silentium assoclation and a number of colored people held picnics within fifty yards of each other at Elm- wood park and each was well attended. The soclalists listened to an address by George E. Bigelow of Lincoln and had din- mer on the grounds, the Silentium ' asso- ciation watched an address by Waldo H. Rothert and the colored people were just soclable. A number of contests were pulled off by the members of the Silentium assocla- tion, including races, candy puiling, bali throwlag and a tug-of-war between lowa nd Nebrasks, in which Nebraska was suc- cesstul.

SOME IMPORTED MEN QUIT THEIR JOBS Working Force at 8hops Olossly Watched by : Private Guards. BLACKSMITHS EXPECT TO ACT TODAY President Slocam of Blacksmiths' In- ternational Union on the Way to n —Car Bullders Wait Omahn from The arrival of sixteen more non-unin men from Chicago to take strikers' places in the Union Pacific shops and a very de- cided feeling among the switehmen against the company are late developments in the strike. Another Unlon Pacific car was backed into the shop yards near Webster street at 6:15 yesterday evening. The men had come from Chicago over the Northwestern and were placed in a special car at Coumbil Bluffs, brought into Omaha and to the yards by means of a switch engine. The switchmen had beforehand discussed the idea of not handling the car containing “scabs” and for a while it looked as if there would be serious trouble In getting the men to the yards, where the others are domiciled in the company's cars under the protection of private guards. More non-union men from Chicago were expected late last night. The company is making a persistent effort to get enough on the grounds to carry on its work, but if the process of subtraction keeps paca with that of addition at the rate it has, the result will not conduce materially to the company's interests. Only Twenty-Nine to Work. * It was learned last night that in the first lot of men imported from Chicago there were twenty originally, instead of twenty-seven, as was previously reported, Only nineteen of these, however, reached the railroad yards, and by last night six had escaped, leaving thirteen, making total of twenty-nine with the sixteen that arrived yesterday. Serious complications for the company are threatened by the attitude of the switchmen. When the first carload of non- union men was sent into the yarde the switchmen manifested some displeasure at handling cars under such circumstances and since pressure was brought to bear upon them by the strikers, who insisted that it was a breach of the principle of unionism for union yaramen to transfer these cars containing ‘‘scab” workmen. When the second {mportation arrived, therefore, the switchmen hesitated and not until strong influence was exerted did they consent to handle the cars: Some of them declare they will positively refuse to do any more such work. Yardman Expresses Sentiments. A yardman sald yesterday: “For my part, I won't help transter another car to bring ‘scab’ men into these yards. I'll quit my job first. That ls nothing more, in effect, than scabbing and I am a union man. If the switchmen do refuse to move these cars it will result in a tleup in the yards, that is, if the company keeps on bringing in men, and that will put a pretty hard knot in the strike problem for the company. It will start the ball rolling toward the trainmen, and if the operating department is ever tied up, the company will be at the merey of the strikers, for nothing can be dpne with the tralnmen on & strike.” The switchmen are not as stromgly or ganized as some of the other employi They are now affillated with the brakemen and have no thorough organization of thelr own. No Attempt at Violence There was no assault or attenipted as- sault upon any of the recent non-union recrults from Chicago yesterday. None of the shops were in operation and the con- struction crew on the new bulldings wa taking a holiday. The guards, all of whom are private men, many former employes around the Unlon Pacific shops end yards, have had no encounters with strikers and thelr greatest trouble scems to lle in pre- venting the new arrivals from jumping their contracts with the company and mak- ing thelr escape. One of the half dozen who managed to get away sald be had rel- atives In Omaha and when he hired to the agents of the company’ in Chicago it was with a view of getting out here, where he could be with his people. Others say they wanted ,to come west and thought this was & good opportunity. This morning the men are expected to gin work. The strikers declare that every possible peaceable effort will be ex- erted to prevent them from doing any work, and they express the bellef that by night none of the men will be left at the shops. According to the statement of a Uniom Pacific employe who was interviewed yes- terday, things at the shops are in a & moralized condition. He says castings and equipments are so scare that it has become necessary to take wheels off old freight cars and put them under passenger coaches. Even these deficient supplies, he says, are not inexhaustible. Blacksmiths Expeet Action. Decisive action from the blacksmiths s expected elther late today or Monday. This is the last of three days the blacksmiths sald they would defer a final decision. They were looking for their chief execus tive officer, President Slocum of Molin I, up to a late hour last night. H presence in the city today may have the effect of bringing things to a head. Blacks smiths who have been interviewed avow their intention and the intention of the union to resist plecework and strike if the company will not agree to restore the old daily wage system. No further developments in the aftairs of the car bullders are looked for until Monday, when the committes from this craft will meet Superintendent McKeen, who 18 hastening back from the west for a special conference with these men, who requested his presence here in the hope that matters could be adjusted and a strike averted Mr. McKeen was the leading factor fer the company in the conferences over a week ago, the result of which was a isfactory settlement with the car builders, and the men prefer to deal with him, and this arrangement is desirabls to the com- pany. During the former conferences the car bullders were not apprised of the com- pany's intention to introduce the plece-
