It was purely a military affair and was very short. Less than 0 men were in line, but they made a martial appearance. The procession was half an hour In passing. The streets we lined with people, who watched the dis play with pleasure and were imbued with | | a feeling of patriotism. The police handled the crowds with ease. that the procession passed through the main streets and was not confined to Market street, as in the Shriners’ parade, made the handling of the crowds an easy thing for Chief Witt- man’s nien. No cables were needed to hold the people in check. START OF PARADE. Promptly at 10:15 the long line got un- der way. It moved up Market street to Montgomery and through that thorough- fare to Bu ket and out the main street to Van Ness, where it_was reviewed by Brigadier Gen- eral R. H. Warfield. Sergeant Clarence Coogan and sixteen comprising the Golden ad led the procession. The Gate Park sq men looked natty in their blue uniforms | with vellow trimmings. Following them came a battalion of police in command of > men made a splen- did appearance. The marched like sol- diers and looked spic and span in their uniforms of blue.

GRAND MARSHAL DALZIEL. Then came Grand Marshal Ira Barker Dalziel, mounted on a black charger and | followed by the following aids: f of staff, Centaln A. de la Torre Jr.; chief aid, Frank Robb; Colonel T. C. Mastellar, n H. Shine, A. Ruef, T. Bacigalupi, Joseph N. Rochfort, John W. King, J. E. Barry, Frank Al Schmitz, William Kenny, Harry Cool i . L. Turpin, Henry Wolf, C. Davison, Albert P. Hodges, George S.” Miehling, James R. Morrison, W. Roberts, H. F. Patrick, Jerry Revere, J. W Frye, George W. Elder, H. L. Bacigalupl, Thomas H. Rush, Danlel Giovannini. The regulars made a fine showing. The various artillery companies stationed in this vicinity marched in a business-like manner. They were armed with “Krags’ and stepped out as if they were going to meet the enemy. In line were the One Hundred and Fifth, Twenty-fifth, Ninety- second, Twenty-ninth and Fifty-seventh artillery companies. Following the regulars were the brave | California boys of the First California Regiment, who fought so well in the Phil- ippines. Colonel O’Neil rode at the head | of the citizen soldiers. He was accom- | panied by his staff. Father McQuaide, | chaplain of the regiment, was in the van | and was greeted along the line of march, | The men in line wore service medals and | gave evidence of the training they receiv- ed during their service.

The First Artillery band led the First Continued From Page Two. then, when in the fullness of time we felt they could walk alone, we turned over the govern- ment to them, and now the beautiful Queen of the Antllles has started on her course as a free republic among the nations of the earth. (Ap- plause.) IMPORTANCE OF CANAT. But tkere is one thing—our policy toward Cuba has not yet met with its entire fruition. It will meet with it. (Applause.) The course of the last few years has made more evident than ever before that'ihis nation must in time come to have pecuniary interests on the isth- mus connecting the twg waters and among the islands adjacent there- to. (Appiause.) Nationally the position toward thesc regions that we did toward others where cur interests are far less, s 15 doubly true now that Congress with great wisdom has provided for the building of canal. (Applause.) Cuba must occupy a peéuliar relation to us in the field of international politics. She must in the larger sense be a part of the general politi- cal system in international affairs in which public stands as the head. She has as- sented to' that view and in return this nation 1s bound 16 give her especial economic privi- leges nct given to other nations 1 regret that = measure of reciprocity with Cuba is not already embodied In statute or in treaty, but it will be just as sure as fate. (Loud applaust.) And now.a word as to the Philippines. There are yet troubles in the Moro country, the coun- try of Mohammedan tribes, but in the Philip- pines among the Filipinos, among the people who have been in_ insurrection, peace now reigns. (Applause.) It may be, I think, unlikely, but it is pos- sible here and there, some seemingly dead coal of Insurrection may bo for the moment fanned into a live plece of ember and bursi into a fitful flame. If so, that flame will be stamped out. (Loud applause.) But, speak- irg broadly and generally, peace has come. Our army has recelved’ its reward. (Ap- plause.) And what was the reward of our army? The reward of the consciousness of duty well done. (Loud applause.) Our soldiers bava fought, have toiled, have struggled, so that when victory came they might turn over Americas and in the we cannot occupy | the government to the civil authoritles. (Ap- plause.) Victory came. To-day the proclamation of peace and am- nesty has been promulgated and at the same e our generals have been notified that the civil government is supreme in the islands. (Applause.) Does not that speak well, O my brethren, | for our army, for our troops, that the troops | of this people who were hoping for a triumph which is to put the power into the hands of | the clvil authorities? By law we are allowed minimum of 60,000 men. While this war has gone on we have steadily reduced that army | until now by orders promulgated its limit is | 66,000, and as a matter of fact we have two | or three thousand fewer actually under arms. | That speaks well for our institutions. It speaks well for the triumphs of the policies with which as a nation we have been identified during the past four years, and, men and women of the United States, it shows how | slight was the warrant for the fears expressed by those of little faith as to what would fol- low authorizing even the small army that was authorized. (Applause.) GREAT PROBLEMS REMAIN. No body of our citizens deserves franker and more generous recognition at the hands of the country than the officers and enlisted men who wear the United States uniform. (Applause.) For there is no body of our citi- zens which gives more disinterested services with less thought of a material reward propor- tionately in any way to them. And now, my fellow citizens, 1 speak of the task which has confronted those in Cuba and the Philippines as being one of the tasks which this generation had to face. It is only one. We have great problems at home to face. I am speaking in one of the great industrial centers, not merely of America but of the world. (Applause.) A million people stand grouped in a small radius around the spot where we now . are. The growth of your cities within this radius has | been one of the most striking phenomena of the day, and therefore you are brought face to face With those problems which affected our entire civilization at the opening of this new century. The tremendous rush of our Iindus- trial development which has brought in its train so much that is good and also of neces- sity brought somewhat of evil, the very in- tensity of the progress that has been made has | an army at a maxtmum of 100,000 men and a | ROOSEVELT IS THE ORATOR. i3 ] ORATOR OF THE DAY AND SOME PROMINENT FEATURES OF YES- TERDAY'S MILITARY PARADE. o Artillery Regiment. Colonel Bush was in command. A fife corps played enlivening music and the soldiers had no trouble keeping perfect step. It was noted that nearly all the men in the regiment wore the bronze medal that denoted they had fought for the flag. Then came the First Caval The sturdy young fellows who composed the troop rode with the skill of veteran: A band led the carriages which contain- ed the city officials and members of the Fourth of July comfnittee. Mayor Schmitz was accompanied by his wife and School Director Roncovieri and his wife, The city’s chief executive was cheered all along the line of march. A delegation from Butchertown closed the parade. feoleiteioeieeed @ e meant that new and infinitely difficult prob- lems have arisen which we must strive to solve as best we may. Under our form of government, with its great decentralization of power, some of those problems must be solved through the work of private individuals working by themselves; others by the assoclation into organized bodies,| of groups of private citizens, and others yet through the various governmental agencies’ of municipal, State and nation. Especially great, espectally’ difficult are the problems caused by the growth and concentration of great indi- vidual, and also above all, of great corporate fortunes. It is immensely for the interests of the country that there should be such indl- vidual and corporate wealth as long as it is used rignt, and when not used right then it becomes a' serious menace and danger. (Ap- plause.) The instruments and methods with which ‘we are to meet these new problems must in many cases themselves be new, but the purpose iying behind the use of ‘these methods of those Instruments must, if we ars to succeed, be now as in the past, simply in accord” with the immutable laws of order, of justice and of right. We may need, and in my belief, will nced new legislation conceived in no radical or revolutionary spirit, but in a spirit of common sense, common honesty and a_resolute desire to face facts as they are. (Applause.) We will need then new legisla- tion, but while laws are important it is in finitely more important that they should be ad- ministered in accordance with the principles that have marked honest administration from the beginning of recorded history. (Applause.) In the last analysis the most important de- partment of civilized government is the De- partment of Justice. Think what It means! The Department of Justice, justice that means that ‘each man, rich or poor, strong or weak, shall have his rights and shall not be allowed to do wrong to his fellows. (Applause.) And You here of this city have a right to feel proud of your representative in the Cabinet, the man under whom we can guarantee that the Department of Justice will be such in fact as well as in name. (Loud and continued ap- plause.” Cries of “Knox, Knox!") When it comes to practice the ounce of performance outweighs the ton of promise. And under Mr. Knox there has been very much more than an ounce of performance. (Applause.). NEED OF CHARACTER. Oh, my fellow countrymen, as we face the infinitely difficult problems, let us keep in mind that though we need the highest quali- ties of the Intellect in order to work out prac- tical schemes for their solution, yet we need a thousand times more, what counts for many, many, many times as much as intellect—we need character. (Cries of “That is it,” and applause.) Character, that compound of hon- esty and courage and common sense, will avail us more in the long run than in any brilliancy on the stump or any advising executive as to means and methods. The brilllancy is good. We need the intellect; the best intellect we can get; we need the best_intelligence, we need more still, character. We need cominon sense, common’ honesty and resolute courage. (Applause.) We need what Mr. Knox has shown—the character that will_refuse to/ be hurried into any unwise or precipitant move- ment by any clamor, whether historical or demagogle, and, on the other hand, the char- acter that will refuse to be frightened out of the movement which he thinks it right to un- dertake by any pressure, still less by any threat, (Cries of “‘Hear, hear,” and applause.) Gentlemen, we have great problems. We can only sdlve them by ‘degrees. We can only solve them by doing well each particular bit of work as it comes up for solution. Much can be done along the lines of supervision and regulation of the great industrial combinations which have become so marked a feature in our civillzation. but If we recklessly try without proper thought, without proper caution,” to do too much, we shall do nothing or else we shall work a ruin that will be telt most acutely among_those of our cltizens who are most help- less. It is no easy task to deal with great in- dustrial tendencies. To deal with them in a spirit of presumptuous and rash folly and above all to deal with them in a spirit of envy and hatred and malice would be to invite disaster, which would be so widespread that this coun- try would rock to its foundations. The Miss- issippi sometimes causes immensec damage by flood. If you cannot dam it and stop the floods, you can regulate them and control them by levees. You can regulate and control the current, you can eliminate its destructive feature, but you can do it only by studying ‘what a current is and what your own powers are. (Applause.) It is just exactly o In deal- ing with the great tendencies of our industrial clvilization. We cannot turn back the wheels of progress. If we could it would mean the absolute destruction of just such Industrial — centers as this. We will either do mothing or we will do damage It we strive ignorantly to achieve the fmpossible. But tiat fact does not excuse us for failure to do what is right. Spe- clal legislation is needed, some of that legis- lation must come through municipalities, some fhrough States, some through the natlonal Government, but above and beyond all legis- lation we need honest and fearless adminis- tration of the laws as they are on the statute books. (Applause.) Honest and fearless ad- ministration of those laws In the interest neith- er of the rich man as such, nor of the poor man as such, but in the interest of exact and equal® justice to all alike, and such administra- tion you will surely have while Mr. Knox re- mains as Attorney General in the Cabinet at ‘Washington. (Applause.) After the address the German singers sang “America,” the vast audience join- Following this, out of compliment to the German ancestry of ing in the final verse. the distinguished guest, the “Lord’s Day” was sung in German.. The_ benediction was then pronounced by the Rev. Dr. W. T. Boyle, presiding eider of the Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal Conference. The exercises consumed just one hour. The President immediately re-entered his carriage and, surrounded by the Sheridan ‘Troop,’ was driven to the residence of H. C. Frick on Homewood avenue, where he was tendered a luncheon and reception, which was joined in by a number of prominent Pittsburg captains of industry. As the President left the park Battery D fired the national salute of forty-five guns from a tall hilitop. The President and party remained at Frick's house until 5:30 o'clock, when they were driven to the Hotel Schenly to par- ticipate in a dinner given by Attorney General Knox. Toy Pistol Victim. W. Perra, a boy living at 3006 Mason street, was treated at the Harbor Hospital yesterday for & pistol shot wound of the left hand. His was the cnly case arising from the day's celebration treated at the Harbor Hospital dur- ing the day. AAY O AMERIGAN INDEPENDENGE 'ROCKETS ILLUMINE THE SKY Crowds Witness the Many Fireworks Displays. HE public displays of fireworks given in the parks last night were witnesed by thousampds of persons. No accidents occurred, thanks to the excellent police arrangements and the good behavior of the spectators. The_colony of little Italy turned out in force to view the fireworks display at Washington Park and to listen to, the open-air concert. As the big rockets sailed gracefully into the air and broks mto showers of red, white and blue there were many long-drawn “ahs” of ap=- proval. At 8:30 p. m. the first rocket shot up into the air, and at % o'clock the “good- night” piece, telling the crowd that the fireworks for this year's celebration wera at an end, was rapidly burning. In quick succession bombshells, Neapol- itan shot shells and floral and prismatic fountains were set off. There were four large set pleces. When Washington, sur- rounded by stars and stripes of red, whita and blue fire, appeared outlined befors the eyes of the crowd huzzas rent the air and drowned the strains of the band. The other set pieces were the star of America and the American eagle. Some of the musical selections rendered by the band were “The Stars and Stripes,” ‘‘American Overture,” “Selec- tion of National Airs,” “Creole Belles,™ “Ain’t That a Shame” and “The Yankesr Hustle: As the last set piece died out the crowd began to slowly disperse, though many lingered around the music stand. Between eight and ten thousand peopls witnessed the display given at Nineteenth and Dolores streets. The hillside whers the display was held afforded an excel- lent opportunity for the people to view the many set-piéces, and the absence of fog added to the beauty of the scene. Scores of rockets were sent skywards and myriads of vari-colored stars de- scended in showers. The magnificent por= trait of Washington and the American flag in red, white and blue fire drew plau- dits from lusty throats, and when the band played the national air all present joined in a swelling volume of song. The police arrangements were perfect, and not a single mishap marred the evening's pleasure. It seemed as if all the residents of the southside gathered last night in Colum- bia square, between Folsom and Harri- son, Sixth and Seventh streets, to ses the display of fireworks in honor of the national holiday. Thousands of men, women and chil- dren crowded into the park and the ad- jucent rooftops were filled with sight- seers. A military band gave a concert previous to and after the display, ana the patriotic airs were joined in by the spectators. The fireworks were of an excellent na- ture and of sufficient variety to please all tastes. From the time the first rocket ascended into the dir until the set-pieces were fired there was a constant salvo of firecrackers mingled with the cheers of the multitude. The police officers kept the best of order and the gathéring of citizens caused absolutely no trouble. The national holiday was fittingly ob- served at the Chutes last night by more than 15,000 people, who crowded and jammed themselves into the grounds. It was a most orderly and good-natured throng and nothing happened to mar the pleasure of the gathering. There was a grand display of fireworks which lasted for an hour. All varieties of rockets and other powder mysteries were exploded over the lake for the edification of the crowd. It was undoubtedly the finest display ever made by the Chutes. All the different shows did a rushing business. The theater was filled to overflowing and thousands of people vainly waited for hours in order to gain admittance. Engine Company 12 Celebrates. The fire laddies attached to engine No, 13 celebrated the Fourth by banqueting their 4friends at their engine house at the cormer of Drumm and Commercial streets. The hosts were Captain J. Sullivan, Lieutenant Gouvi and the men attached to the station, and the guests were their friends and included a num- ber of men high In city official life. The en- tertainment took the form of a continuous ban- quet. The boys were ‘“at home” to their friends throughout the afternoon. ADVERTISEMENTS.
