Arrives at Annapolis. ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 2—The speelal train conveying President Roosevelt and his \ party to Annapolis to attend the graduating | exercises at the Naval academy arriyed here at 9:45 o'clock this morning over the Pennsylvania railroad. As the president Qlighted from the tram he was recejved by Buperintendent Wainwright and his aide, Lieutenant H. J. Siegemler. A battalion of marines under command of Captain Luce was drawn up at the station. The party proceeded in carriages to tho academy grounds, the president going di- rectly to the superintendent's house, where :there was @ short wait to permit the as- \sembling of the cadét battalion at the chapel. The day was most propitious and the cadets in their uniforms presented a fine appearance. ', The president walked across the campus to where the cadets were lined up, and | passing down the llne Yooked each cadet ‘squarely In the face. He was then pre- sented to the officers of the academy by Commander - Wainwright. While this was ‘going on the shore batteries fired the presi- dent's salute of twenty-one guns. At the sound of a bugle blast the cadets stacked ‘guns and with a precision that bore evi- dence of the discipline which they have to undergo, marched by fours to the chapel, where benediction was pronounced by the chaplain. In the meantime the president bad been escorted down the alsle by Com- mander Wainwright and was shown to his t on the platform, the battalion of cadets, the officers and others receiving the president standing. Commander Wainwright then introduced George T. Winston, a member of the board of visitors, who delivered a short address, in which he spoke of the navy as being the most important factor in the country’s his- tory. He was loudly applauded when he re- ferred to Dewey as the hero of Manila and Bampson as the hero of Sanitago, and at the conclusion of his remarks was congratu- lated by the president. A great crowd gathered around the grand stand, where tho cadets were to re- celve at the hands of the president the diplomas which would . make them officers in the United States navy. President Addresses Graduates. The gpaduating class discarded their #uns and accoutrements and advanged close to the glatform. President Roosevelt then address them, his remarks belog .ire- quently interrupted by applause. Fol- Jowing is the president’s address: In recelving these diplomas you become men who, above almost any others of the entire unfon, are to carry henceforth an evermore the sense of responsibility which must come with the knowledge that on :some tremendous day it may depend upon our coutage, your preparednest, your een intelligence and knowledge of your profession whether or not tue nation again to write her name on the world's roll of honor, cr to know the black shame of defeat. We, all of us, earnestly hope that the oc- caslon for war may never come, but If it has to come, then this nation must win, and the prinse factor In securing victory over any forelgn foe must of necessity be United States If_the navy fails then we are doomed to defeat, no mat- ter what may be our material wealth or the high average of citisenship. It should, therefore, be an object of prime im- portance for every patriotic American to see that the navy is constantly built up and, above all. that it is kept to the high- est point of efficfency, both in paaterial and in_personnel. It cannot be too often repeated that in rfare, and especially in modern warfare, hiet factor in achieving trtamph is been done In the way of thor- reparation and training before the ginning of the war It is what has been done before ‘the outbreak of war that Is all important. After the outbreak, all that can be done 1s to use to best adyantage the great war engines and the seamanship. marksmansahip and general practical ef: clency, which already have been provided the forethought of the national legls- ture and by the administrative ability, through a course of years, of the Navy de- partment, A battleship cannot be (mprovised.

Seamanship and marks- manship—these must be the prime objects of your training, both for yourselves and the men under you. At the conclusion of his address and istribution of diplomas the president re- quested he be taken to the hospital, where Cadet Emory §. Long of Wyoming, a member of the graduating clase, was lying l. Sitting up in bed the sick boy re- elved his diptoma from the president, who made a few appropriate remarks, in which be expressed the hope that he would seon be out. The president was then given an opportunity of witneasing the customary prapk of the plebes throwing the graduat- ing o out of quarters, which afforded great deal of amusement. After Tuncheon the president and party went board the torpedo boat Gwynn for a short trip. on Chesapeake bay, after which they will take the train for Wash- ington. Prines Awarded Cadets.

OPPONENT FROM SAME STATE DENIES IT Pritehard Attempts to Show that In- human Methods Are Not All Con- omeials ppines. fined to Army in Phi WASHINGTON, May was precipitated in the senate today by Mr. Pritchard (N. C.) by some remarks he made on political methods in North Caro- lina in a discussion of the Philippine bill He suggested that some of the methods em- ployed by the opponents of the bill in this country ought to be reformed and told of what i called the “sand cure” in North Carolina, the victim having his face crushed into the sand (o stifie his cries while he was belng beaten to intimidate him politi- cally. Mr. Simmons of North Carolina declared that he never heard of such a practice and the debate concerning North Carolina poli- ties was fully launched. Mr. Pritchard charged that the “red shirts” rode over the state. Simmons sald nothing was done but to orgamiee the voters. The debate waxed warm and Mr. Pritchard declared that he had been approached by an emis- sary of the democratic party with a propo- sition to drop the impeachment attacks on judges In North Carolina iIf he would nolle prosse cases pending in the courts against certain democrats for election frauds. Mr. Simmons unqualifiedly denfed that such a proposition had been made by authority of the democratic party, To Fix World's Falr Date. A lively debate A letter from the secretary of state was read suggesting a postponement of the opening of the St. Louls exposition from 1903 to 1904. In this connection Mr. Cock- rell of Missourl offered an amendment to the sundry civil appropriatién bill pro- viding that the exposition should be opened to visitors on May 1, 1904, although the dedication of the government building ehould be held not later than April 30, 1903. The papers and amendment were referred to the committee on appro- priatjons. The amendment of Mr. Platt of Connectl- cut to the Rosebud reservation bill, strik- il out the provision of the bill providing for free homes on the lands to homestead settlers, was rejected, 19 to 38. The Philippine government bill then was lald before the senate and Mr. Pritchard addressed the senate In support of the measure. He declared that the people of North Carolina and of the south were in favor of tne proposition of the majority of the Philippine committee, and he quoted the Charlotte Observer as a leading demo- cratic paper if support of the opposition in the Philippines. Charges Forelgn to Measure. Mr. Pritchard sald he was in favor of the prompt and speedy punishment of those gullty of cruelty in the Philippines but the charges had nothing to do with this measure, which provided merely for a civil sdministration in the Philippines. “If we retain the Philippine islands,” said he, “ag we will, the southern states will gain the bulk of the trade with the Philippines and the southern states will be the chief bene- ficlary of the extension of the cotton goods trad Mr. Pritchard declares frankly his beliet that the United States ought to retain the islands permanently. He discussed at'con- siderable length the political situation in North Carolina and recited what he de- nounced as “outrages” that had been per- perated, he declared, by the democrats of North Carolina on republican voters. He ®aid he did mot think a majority of the democrats of the state approved of such outrages and llkewise did not think that the isolated cases of outrage and tofture in the Philippines should be cited as ar-. sguments against the républican policy tn the islands. Simmons Justifies the Acts. Mr. Simmons replied to some of the sug- gostions made by Mr. Pritchard as to North Carolina politics and justified the “white people in protecting themselves alnst irresponsible majorities.” Mr. Pritchard asserted that the ‘“‘sand cure” was used by democrats in North Carolina on republicans. He sald that a republican voter was taken from his home at night and beaten, his face being crushed in’o the sand to stifie his cries. Mr. 8immons declared that this was the first thine he ever heard of the “sand cure.” For six years he had been the chalrman of the democratic executive committee of North Carolina and he never had known of any cases of outrages and violence for political purposes. Mr. Pritchard inquired If it were not a fact that organized bands of “red shirts" rode over the state of North Carolina for the purpose of terrorizing the republican voters. In Interest of Union. “That organization (red shirts) replied Mr. Simmony, ‘“never had for its object any bellicose or belligerent purpose toward any part of the voters of North Carolina. It is merely an organization for the pur- pose of more effectually organizing the voters of the state.” (Prolonged laughter on the floor and in the galleries.) “Does my colleague say,” Inquired Mr. Washing dishes in the old way—3 times a day, 1095 times a year, year in and year out—means drudgery.

Pritehard ride vote: 1 state,” declared Mr. Simmons, “upon my authority as a semator and as chair. man of the democratic executive com- mittee, that the stories of outragea com- mitted by ‘red shirts’ are absolutely and utterly without foundation.” Consideration was then resumed of the sundry civil appropiation bill. When the amendment providing an appropriation of $2,600,000 to begin the comstruction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac river to connect with the Arlington cemetery was reached, Mr. Allison, in charge of the measure, explained, in answer to an in. quiry by Mr. Platt of Connecticut, that it was not intended to begin the construc tion of the bridge until the plans had been agreed to by congre The amendment was agreed to. An amendment was agreed to appropriat- ing $100,000 for the construction of a reve. nue cutter of the first ¢ for service in Hawallan waters, the total cost of the vessel not to exceed $200,000.

WASHINGTON, May 2.—The house today passed the anti-conspiracy bill reported from the judiclary committee without a de- bate, It came up rather unexpectedly and Mr. Littlefleld of Maine, who had filed a minority report on the bill and intended to offer some amendments, came In as it was offered for its passage and the vote was taken befpre ho understood what was going on.

The amendment providing the machinery for the enforcement of the personal tax law of the District of Columbia passed in 1878 was placed on the dlstrict appropria- tion bill as & rider and the bill was passed. The bill to provide diplomatic and consular officers for the republic of Cuba was also passed. It carries the following salaries: $10,000 for a minister, $2,000 for a first and $1,600 for a second secretary of legation, $5,000 for eonsular genmeral at Havana and $3,000 each for the conxulates at Ciéntuegos and Santlagb.

REFUSE TO G!!EU_P FUGITIVE Mexican Oficiale Decline to Grant Ap- plication for Krats' Surr der to United States. WASHINGTON, May 2.—The State de- partment has been notified that the Mex- fcan goverament has finally refused the application of the United States government for the surrender of Charles Kratz, ex- councilman of St. Louls, charged with bribery. The man has been held under arrest at Guadalajara, the Mexican government hav- ing coasented to his provisional detention for eight days pending consideration of the request. An effort was made to secure the prose- | cution of Kratz in Mexico, but without avall, and under the decision just announced he will be discharged and go unpunished. ST. LOUIS, May 2.—Circuit Attorney Folk received the following telegram from ths State department at Washington this after- noon: 3 “WASHINGTON, May 2.—2:15 p. m.—Sec- retary Hay authorized Informal inquiry whether a requisition would be entertalned by the other government.

URGED TO STOP SHIPMENTS Efforts of Denver to Curtall Stock Receipts Without Effect in Omaha. e DENVER, Colo., May 2.—Not a single head of cattle was sold In the Denver ma ket yesterday and the commission men, al most without exception, wired to their cu tomers in all parts of the west not to ship a single head of cattle, hogs or sheep to the markets in this - city, Kansas City, Omaha or Chicago. Commission men in other cties are un- derstood to have taken similar action. Many thousands of head are on the way to market and three or four days will pass be- fore the effect of the order s felt, but by the beginning of mext week it is thought little or no stoek will be offered at the packing centers. Commission men and others aay they have taken this radical action because of the de cline in the prices of stock. Live Inquiry among commission men at South Omaha reveals the fact that the Denver Qispateh, so far as it relates to this mar- ket, is without foundation. The South Omaha men assert that they have not wired their customers to stop shipments, but on the contrary are urging them to send in all the Ifve stock available.
