William I. Buchanan, Director General Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y.: Fel- low Citizens of the United States and Fellow Americans from all our Nelghboring Nations— I send you greetings from the shores of the Pa- cific, with fervent prayers for the benediction of heaven upon this beneficent enterprise, with sincere congratulations to all whose energy and devotion have brought it to pass, and with heartfelt welcome to our guests from our sister republics, to whom we wish continued and abundant prosperity. May there be no cloud upon this grand festivul of peace and com- merce, no thought of rivalry except that ge erous ' competition In useful arts and in in- dustries which benefits all. I earnestly hope that this great exhibition may prove a bless- ing to every country of this hemisphere, and that even the world at iurge may profit by the progress of which we give proof by the lesson of our efforts and their results. I trust that it may become evident before this exhibition closes that our vast anG increasing prosperity is fruitful of nothing but good to our elders in the brotherhood of nations, and that our on- ward march may forever exemplify the divine sentiment of ‘‘peace on earth and good will to men.""

An Address by the Mayor. There was another cheer when Mayor Diehl was introduced by President Mil- burn. In the course of his speech Mayor Diehl said: The president and Lhe board of directors of the exposition have earned enduring fame. In eleven months they have built this beautiful rainbow city which is the admiration of the world. We acknowledge the genius and the ability of the director general and proclaim him our most honored citizen. In our pride and rejoicing we do not forget the deep debt of gratitude we owe to President McKinley, who has been the friend of the ex- position rom its inception; to Congress for the splendid exhibit which it has piaced at our disposal; the governments of the three Amer- icas which hava sent their best products for our inspection; to the Governors und Legislatures Continued from First Page. ’ the food ordered by her physiclans. The fever had entirely disappeared and Mrs. McKinley's strength grew stronger with the passing of each hour. In the afternoon Mrs. Mciinley was suf- ficlently strong to listen for some time to the President’s account of how he had heen received by the people of San Fran- cisco, the patient asking for full particu- lars of the parade cf last week and the reception at the ferry and the launching of the Ohio. . Doctors Arc Delighted. Mrs. McKinley also enjoyed considera- ble sleep, and when the doctors visited their patient at 8:30 p. m. they were de- lighted at the improvement noted in her condition. The physicians remained but half an hour. After their departure Sec- jetary Cortelyou issued the following bul- etin: . “‘Drs, Hirschfelder and Gibbons met Dr. Rixey at 8:30 p. m. They find that Mrs. MeKinley's improvement has continued through the day and that her condition to-night is excellent. Drs. Hirschfelder Gibbons and Cushing will meet Dr. Rixey at 11:30-a. m, to-morrow.” - - 2 Mayor Phelan and Henry J. Crocker called on the President early in the even- ing to learn the desires of the chief exec- utive as to the parade of the school chil- dren to-day. At midnight, just before the President retired, it was learned that Mrs. McKin- ley wag Testing comfortably and that there was every indication that she would pass another restfui night.

Stcre'-ae.rdy Root has kept the President fully advised of the developments in Havana, and the Presi- dent is in communication with leading Senators upon the subject.

In concluding his address Roose- velt said:. Roosevelt’s Telling Words. There are certain truths which are so com- monplace as to be axiomatic, and yet so im- portant that we cannot Keep them too vividly before our minds. The true welfare of the na- tion s indissolubly bound with the welfare of the farmer and the wage worker, of the man who tills the soll, and of the mechanic, the handicraftsman, the laborer. If we can in-| sure the prosperity of these two classes we need not trouble ourselves about the prosperity of the rest, for that will follow as a matter of course. On the.other hand, it 1s equally true that the prosperity of any of us can best be attained by measures that wilk profnote the prosperity of all. The poorest motto upon which an Amer- ican can act Is that motto of ‘‘Some men down'" and the safest to follow is that of “‘all men fip.”” A good deal can and ought to be done by law. For instance, the State, and if neces- | sary the nation, should by law 'assume ample | power of superviaing and regulating the acts of any corporation (which can be but its erea- ture), and generally of those immense business enterprises which exist only because of the safety and protection to property guaranteed by | our system of govefnment. Yet it is equally | true that, while this power should exist, it | should be used sparingly and with self-re- | straint. Modern industrial cmpetition is very keen between nation and nation, and now that our country is striding forward with the pace | of a glant to take the leading position in the | international industrial world, we should be- ware how we fetter our limbs, how we cramp our titan strength. Whily striving to prevent industrial weakness at home, we must not bring ‘upon "ourselves _ industrial ~weakness abroad. This is a task for which we need the finest abilities of the statesman, the student, the patriot and the [ar-seeing lover of man- kind. It is a task {n which we shall fail with absolute certainty if we approach it after hav- ing surrendered ourselves to the guldance of | the demagogue or the doctrines of the well- meaning man who thinka feebly, or of the cun- ning self-seeker who endeavors to rise by com- mitting that worst of crimes against our peo- plethe crime of inflaming brother nst ther, one American against his fellow Amer- icans. 'My fellow countrymen, bad law: evil things, good laws are necessary, and a oclean, fearless, common-sense administration of the laws s even more necessary, but what we need most of all is to I to our own selves to see that our consclences as individ- uals, that our collective national conscience, may be instant to respond to every appeal for high action and lofty and generous endeavor. re must and all be no falling off in the natlonal traits of hardihood and manliness, and we must keep ever bright the love of justice, the spirit of strong brotherly friendship fur one's fellows, which we hope and believe will hereafter stand as typicaF of the men who | make up this, the mightiest republic upon wheih the sun has ever shone.

HONOLULU, May 13.—Goyernor Dole on Saturday, acting under the advice of his physician, retired temporarily from Secretary Cooper, it was officlally announced at the same time, Ywould act in his place. There is _|nothing particularly wrong with the Gov- ernor, Secretary Cooper said this after- noon, except that he needs a good rest. This he will try to secure at a mountain retreat on the island, where he goes to- MOTTOW. The extra cession of the Legislature called by Governor Dole for the consider- ation of appropriation bills is now in ses- sion, and the committee work done so far shows the expected general slashing of salaries of government officials. A large number of clerks and other minor of- ficials will prd®ably be left unprovided for altogether, and the heads of all depart- ments are cut. On the first day of thé extra session the Home Rulers passed a resolution asking the /Governor about the county govern- ment act, which was left in his hands at the end.of the regular session and which fell a victim to a pocket veto. The pass- age of the resolution to make this in- quiry was preceded by a very flery debate, in which Representative Emmeluth de- clared that the Governor must be re- moved. In response to the resolution the Governer’s secretary replied that no ac- tion had been taken with regard to the bill. The executive reply brought forth a resolution of ‘‘want of confidence’ in Gov- ernog Dole. The resolution, introduced as a concurrent resolution by Representative Emm;"l’uth, passed the House by a vote of to 12. Indications now are that the extra ses- sion will be a iong one.

This order regarding Colonel Mills was Issusd to-day: «By direction of the See Colonel Albert L. Mills erintendent of the United States Military Academy, wiil repair to this city and report to the ad- jutant general of the army for consulta- tion on official business pertaining to the military academy.” Colonel Mills-has not yet arrived but is expected to-morrow morni In the meantime Judge Advocate General Lieder has passed upon a half-dozen cases of cadets which have already been tried for participation ;n objectionable proceedings at West Point. The report of the court of inquiry which investigated the trouble i3 now at the devartment and will be con- sidered by Secretary Root and Colonel Milis. Different grades of punishment are rec- ommended for the eighty-three cadets in- | volved. Some will be court-martialed and others will be deprived of privileges. The court of inquiry developed that many of the boys had =ntered into disturbances in | a spirit of fun, though others were in- censed over the reduction and punishment of Cadet Lieutenant Rawlston for his failure to report some of their number for violation of regulations. Lieutenant Colonel Hein will be relieved from duty as commandant of cadets at | the end of the present academic term. The order for his detachment was issued several weeks ago, and at the time it was explained that his four years’ term of | duty had expired and_ that this was the | reason for his relief. He will be succeed- | ed by Lieutenant Colorel Treat. Offlcials of the department thoroughly approve the conduct of Colonel Mills and Lieutenant Colonel Hein, and say that if it is a ques- tion between subordination and insubor- dination the cadets may as well accept the punishment that will be administered. Senators and members of Congress in- terested in the cadets involved are coming to Washington to plead for lenleney, but the department feels that examples should be made of some of the boys, and they probably will receive very severe punish- ment. ets of War, e FUNERAL SERVICES OVER REMAINS OF MRS GAOE Body Removed From Washington for Interment in Rose Hill Ceme- tery, Chicago.
