where everything Is full of life and move

been sacrificed , and when the end comes
It will find the enterprise In the apparent
prime of Its beauty and usefulness.
No crowds have been more uniformly ad
miring and enthusiastic than those that are
adding the last figures to the grand total of
exposition attendance. Those who have re
turned for a second Inspection find
that the show comprehends u thou
sand Interesting features that
they never noticed during their piev'oiu '

delight and approbation. So the people con-

Yesterday the people were a little late In
getting started towards the show. Sunshine
always brlngi the crowrt out an hour earlier ,
and in IU iibsotico It was nearly 10 o'cloik
before the travel northward reached Its big
gest proportions. At that time the street
curs were again overburdened and the lines
In front of the ticket \vimlows were con
tinually expanding Aftei the expel Icnces ot
the last two weeks the people weie disposed
to regard the cloudy sky with suspicion ,
but as tile day advanced and no more sfr-
tons discomfort materialized they con
cluded that It wasn't such a bad Bolt of a
day after nil and Joined the rush toward
the grounds As the clouds began to break
again and the mellow sunshine lavished Us
beauty on the spectacle the crowd Increased
and during the afternoon It vUs barely pos
sible to get through the buildings without
Inconvenience The cold wind was grate
fully absent tind the day became thoroughly
enjoyable. The ciowd U still very

PHILADELPHIA. Oct 27. Tor thre-e I
hours today William McKlnley , commander-
In-chief of the United States army and
navy , saw his victorious son.s pass In review
before him It was military and naval day
of the great Peace Jubilee Twenty-five
thousand men marched in the most brlt-
Ilant and upectaculai pageant the country
has witnessed In many years
In a Hcmi-clrcular enclosuic of the big
lev low Ing stand In the magnificent court
of honor the president stood erect and un
covered throughout the entire procession.
As the legions marched past hU face was
set but not htern and In his eyes was a
gleam of satisfaction Prom his steadfast
gaze ono might have fancied him listening
to eounds other than those which struck
on the common eir sounds of deeper Im
port , telling the meaning of this glittering
panorama. Behind those martial tunes he
might have heard the musk ot cannon
volleys , the sound of falling cities and the
dying shrieks of a decadent people But
ovei these , and louder , he might have heard
paens of praise from a helpless , Infant n i-
tlon , flfted out of servitude and cruelty by
the work of these embattled hosts The
central motive and fcatuie of It all wan
pilde in the men and their work and the
nation of which they are This was the
true significance ot the event. Here and
there , when Home particularly renowned
body of troops marched by , the president
pleasantly waved his hnt and motioned the
crowds across the way to cheer.
Mrs McKlnley viewed the procession from
a small stand on top ot the coaserv.ttoiy
of the Llpplncott mansion , beck ot vvjcie

the platoon of the emergency corps , whlcu
held the head of the line , leached the stand
and from then until 2 30 o'clock the sol
diers and sailors tramped on in splendid
marching order , every sword raised in salute ,
every gun presented Many illustrious heroes
were In line , but there was little partiality
displayed In the kind or quantity of enthusi
asm accorded them.

( Laughter ) It has been very gratifying to
me to participate with the people of the city

has not been held since the close of the clvh
war , when the nrmv ot Grant Sherman and
Sheridan , and the navv of Dupont. Dalgrcn ,

I know of no more fitting place to ha e a

When he finished his speech the presi

head ot the armv received an ovation as
he pressed through the crowd to his seat
next to Genei.il Shafter. The lattoi aiose

cial dispatch from 1'arl * an antl revisionist
moli around the 1'alace of Justice , where the
appeal In the Dreyfus ciso Is being heard ,
became so dangerous that the law > ere fled.
I'AHIS , Oct 27 The court of cassation ,
which Is to decide upon the question of re
opening the case of Alfied Drejfus. the
prisoner of Devil's Island , who Is alleged to
have been falsely convicted of selling Im
portant military plans to agents of n for
eign power , opene-d at noon today. The hall
was filled with people , but there was no
demonstration around the Palace of Justice ,
the sates of which were closed , and , as > i
matter of precaution , only tlcket-holdeii I
were admitted The few spectators about
the pHce were kept moving by the police ,
and Inside the building municipal guards
were stationed In all the corridors leading
to the court room
Mnltio Laborle , who was counsel for M.
Zola during the latter's famous trial , was
seated among the lawyers occupying the
first row Mine Dieyfus , wife of the pris
oner , was provided v\lth a sent In the rear. !
She was rfptesented by Maltre Mornard. '
The Dreyfus appeal ease was called Im
mediately after the opening of the court.
Reporter Hard opened the pioceedlngs by
icferrlug to the excitement and scandals
caused by the case , even before the appeal
for a revision of the trial was lodged. He
then levlewed the history ot the case from
the arres * of Dreyfus , and said his con
demnation was foi one of the crimes which
Inspire universal horror , and It struck one
of those In whom ho had the utmost eonfU
dence. Continuing , M Hard showed the efforts -
forts to have a icvlslon of the case , lefet-
ring to the denunciation of Major lister-
ha/y , and reviewed Mme Dieyfus' appeal
for a revision of the ci e
HllMlH Ot VpllOltl.
M Bard said this appeal was based on
the assumption that the bordereau was writ
ten by Major Esterhiry He then pointed
out that there were suspicious facts which
Justify the request for the revision Mine.
Dreyfus contended that her husband did not
write the bordereau , which some of thu ex
perts reported ho did write The court ,
therefore , would ha\o to examine these facts
and decide whether a revision was justified.
M. Baid added that the appeal for a re
vision was decided uprn In consequence of
the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry's con
fession tint he had forged a document In
the case , but M. Hard said this forgery was
committed In 1896 and could not alone bo
regarded as ground for a revision or for
an annulment of the Judgment rendered in
18'i4. ' Notwithstanding the fact , M. Hard
said that Lieutenant Colonel Henry had
iitjmralttah. , forgerr. . hia , c UJence . . _ the
| most crushing against Dreyfus , but , he con-
! tlnued , the evidence of a forger Is open to
I suspicion. There was , therefore , the presumption -
sumption of Innocence , based upon fresh
facts which led to the appeal for a revlsirn
of the case and there was also ground to
ask whether any other fact had been brought
to light and If Dreyfus was really the author
of the bordereau and note written to Major
Bsterhazy and found In the apnitment of
Mme- . Pays , in which the writer asked what
he should do respecting the bordereau.
M. Bard next read Colonel Paty du Clam's
leport of the Dreyfus arrest , then .v captain
of Trench artillery doing staff duty , In
which the colonel said that Dreyfus , while
1 writing his dictation , "betrayed Intense ox-
cltement " "But , " M Baid added , amid the
surprise of his hetrcis , "the photograph
taken of this writing does not give the
slightest Indication that Dreyfus was labor-
| lug under excitement "
i Dreyfus , M , Bard also said , denied to
Colonel Paty du Clam that he ever had re
lations , directly or Indirectly , with foreign
powers. Colonel Paty du Clam's report fur
ther showed that Dreyfus had to write In
criminating documents In ten different ways ,
sitting and standing , with and without
gloves and with ordinary and broad-pointed
pens
Sm N llspiTts Vn *
Later M. Bard cited further facts favoi-
able to the revision and expressed astonish
ment at the manner In whlih the whole af
fair has been conducted. Ho referred to the
fact that the residence of Colonel Picquart
had been searched , while the icsidcnce of
Major Estcrhazy , who was directly accused ,
was not searched.
The reporter also severely ciitlci/ed Major
Ravary's report on the charges against
Major Ksterlmy , and ho further said that
the handwriting experts , Belhomme and
Varnlaid , were lunatics , whose testimony
was unreliable
Xfter referring to the fact that the ex
perts who examined the bordereau differed
widely In opinion , M. Bard concluded with
expressing the- belief that If the bordereau
was the principal factor In the condemna
tion of Dreyfus on the testimony of experts
his condemnation ought to be revoked
During the session of the court an antl-
lovlslonist mob numbering about 1,000 per
sons and headed by MM. Drumont , Mille-
voye and Lasces , shouting "Vivo 1' Vrmee , "
and "A morto les Julfs , " attempted to en
ter the court ot cassation But the passage
of the mob was birred by the police and
large reinforcements were Bent to guard the
approaches to the couit.
The belief Is general tonight that the
court of c-aganMon will pionounce neither
for revision nor for annulment of the de
cision In the Dreyfus case , as elthei course
would entail awkward consequences.
To avoid these It Is expected the court
will decide that as the aftuir now presents
itself there has been no treason , and that
therefore the condemnation pronounced upon
Dreyfus by the court-mnrtlal cannot be up
held.
i : tfrlui ) the Ill-ill Culprit.
The sensation of M Bard's report was the
note and the examination of late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry , by M Oodefroy Cavnlgnac
then minister of war , after Henry s forgery
had been discovered These notes showed
| that the confession of foigcry v.as obtained I
with the utmost difficulty , Henry stoutly
s1 denying It and then prevaricating to thn ex-
Ditent that he had only added one phrase to
the general letter and then , driven to the
r. last corner , protested that he acted for the
country's gcod
I The drift of M Bard's conclusions was
that Coiiue Esierlmzy was the real culprit ,
but hU conviction -would ruin the Intelligence
rl department
M Bard then animadverted severely on the
j withholding of the gee-ret dozsltr from Dr y-
fus himself , as presenting the documents i
to Dreyfus could not have compromised the :
national Interests He said the course
adopted was In tlagrani violation of the |
rights of Fretihlsuncr ? since 18S" ,
