With due formality the military escort saluted as he stepped out arriage and briskly walked into g, where he was received with ich respect by numerous waiting city nd county officials. But a minute elapsed before the President, preceded by the lo- cal men, appeared on the spe: stand in the court. “Hail to the Chief” burst from a band across the park, and the air was alive with cheering. Over an im- mense sea of waving flags and banners the President gazed, while Mayor Olney walted for quiet with uplfted hand. The Mayor's words of introduction were few. dies and Gentlemen: I introduce:to you not only the President of the United States, but one who expresses in his own person the highest type of Amer manhood and eiti- zenship, Theodore Roosevelt — e ADMIRES YOUNG OAKLAND. Says Children of Bay City Are All Right in Quality and Quantity. As the President stepped forward to the flower-garlanded rail he stood for sev- ergl minutes, smiling and expressive, while the cheers roared and swelled about him. The President said: Mr. Mayor and You My Fellow Citizens, Men snd Women of Oakland: It has been a great privilege to come into your beautiful city and it could mot but stir any man's heart to be greeted se you have greeted me. I am. glad indeed to see you, to see the men and women and the children of Oskland. As I drove through your beautiful streets I passed by one house where there was a large family party assembled, and they had a great placard, they had a strip of buntifg with, printed on it ‘No Race Suicide Here.” (Cheers and applause. And I got up and bowed my acknowledgmen and congratulations. (Laughter.) And I hav right, in quality and quantity. laughfer.) My feliow citizens, T have enjoyed to the ut- most my stay in California, my visits to its Ereat cities. 1 have appreciated your wonder. ful scenery, your wonderful climate, but, most of all, haye 1 enfoved meeting your men and women. It is a great thing to have such agri- cultural products, such industrial prosperity as I have seen here, but it is a greater thing to have the right type of citizenship. And in thanking all of you for your greeting I am sure that the others will not mind my saying cial word of greeting to two sets of me: ((Applause and - + OAKLAND, IN WHICH CITY HE MADE A SHORT ADDRESS AND DELIGHTED THE VETERANS OF THE WARS BY REFERENCES TO THEIR EXPLOITS. iPRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT THE GREAT RECEPTION TENDERED HIM BY THE ENTHUSIASTIC PEOPLE OF L of all, to the service men of the Spanish-Ameri- can war, I came aboard to be ferried over your bay to- day on the dock from which the great majori- of our eoldiers went to the Philippines. I have seen by the shores of this bay the place where the Eighth Corps was assembled, the ghth Corps, which numbered ultimately, suc- ssively, almost a hundred thousand men, who me, 60 many of them, from your own comst, your ‘own State; and as I saw my escort, the service men of the Spanish war, marching in the little gray hats, blue shirts and the khaki trovéers and leggings, 1 was glad that I had the right of comradeship with them and that I was one of those to whom by good fortune it was given to have a chance to show that at, least we desired to do as the men of the great war had done in 61 to '65. For wherever I have been in California I have been greeted by men who wore the button that shows that, like the Chief Executive of this city in the times that tried en’s souls, they were true to thelr ideals. (Cheers and applause.) And now I greet you here. I have not got much to say to you, because, since 1 have been in California, I have felt a good deal more like leatning than teaching. Indeed, my fei- low citizens, there have been moments when I have felt that the only thing that marred my vieit was the fact that I had to speak. (Laugh- ter.) But I am glad to say just this word to you, to greet you, to express the pleasure it has been to me to come here, and finally to say this: I have come from the Atlantic Coast, across the continent to the Pacific. I have come from the East through the West, beyond the West to Callfornia, for California stands by itself, and from one end of this country to the other addressing any audlence I have felt absolutely at home; I have felt that I was speaking to men and women who felt as I did and thought as I did, to whom I could appeal with a certainty of being understood; because, wherever I have spoken, I have addressed audi- ences like this, audiences composed of Ameri- cans and nothing eise. Great {s your State, oh, my fellow citizens; great is your State. men and women of Califor- nia, and a great thing it is to be a Californian. But it {s an even greater thing to be what all of us are. Americans, the citizens of the great- est republic upon which the sun ehone. Good-by. WMo His last word was the signal for more cheers and the band played the national anthem as the President departed. Be- fore the march had been resumed for the water front the President sent Captain of Police W. J. Petersen to stop the es- cort of honor, “I want to speak to those Spanish war veterans,” said the President. The blue- shirted soldiers were halted and the Pres- ident said: “‘Comrades of the Spanish war, on land or on sea, I am glad to see you once more. I am glad you were my escort to- day. This demonstration will show that the men who left their homes and sac- rificed their positions are Americans. And it means that these men can help in peace to upbuild the nation. “I was a ‘vellow leg’ myself,”” added the President jocularly, reminding his hear- ers of the army designation for cavalry. To avoid a crush at the water front the Presidential party was driven rapidly without escort except of mounted police to the city whart, foot of Franklin street, where the Paul Jones awaited the party. Here the President met the old Grand Army veterans and with a hand-shake to those he had met in Oakland quickly boarded the vessel. With him went Sen- ator George C. Perkins, Congressman Victor H. Metcalf, M. H. de Young, Sec- retary Loeb and others in the party. Taking his station on the bridge, the President waved farewells as long as the thousands scattered among docks and wharves could see. him. in the rapidly moving steamer. The screech of whistle and boom of saluting gun echoed over the water and as the Paul Jones turned northward for Mare and Oakland’s celebration ended. The President step- ped aboard the steamer at 2:50 exactly. During the festivities the city was well glolh:cd, under direction of Chief St. Clair od}klna and Captalns A. Wilson and ‘W. J. Petersen. f ~f iy Although in his home eity, Governor George C. Pardee was modestly in the background. He gave way in every par- ticular to the municipal officials and served only as one of the citizens’ recep- tion committee.

British Flagship Grafton Joins In With Its Guns. HE blaze of bunting strung to the harbor breese in homor of President Roosevelt looked its brightest and best in yester- day’s sunshine, and all day long thers was a flutter of ex- citement slong the wharves and on the ships in the bay, all because the chief magistrate was spending some of his time afloat. 2 The sun shone with midsummer bright- ness, and while not too much wind there was sufficlent breeze to display to fu advantage the thousands of many colored flags strung from vessels of all kinds and various nationalities. Then there was the banging of salutes, Presidential salutes and admiral’s salutes all noisy and inspi g and In kee with the whole-hearted welcome a pleased people has tried to extend to the most tireless, most appreciative guest ever within the city gates. ‘When President Roosevelt left the army transport dock on the revenus cutter Golden Gate the batteries of every war- ship on the bay turned loose the Pre: dential salute. From the guns of the New York, Boston, Marblehead, Benning- ton and Wyoming the salutes came In rapldly succeeding shots, and when the American contingent had paid its tribute to the commander in chief of the navy the British flagship Grafton commenced burning powder in honor of America’s President. The Grafton's salute came in thunderous tones and at drawn-out pe- riods, but it was all there. The saluting was repeated when the Paul Jones, with the President aboard, came scooting down Oakl Creek and with a Niagara-like bone mouth went tearing up the b: a And there was more saluting when the torpedo-boat destroyer came flying back with her distinguished passenger.

BRITONG SUPPORT PEACE MOVEMENT House of Commons D.s- cusses Reduction of Navies. LONDON, May 14.—The question of the reduction of naval armaments came again to-day in the House of Commc during a discu T on of the estimates. T speakers suggested that the Covernme take the first step in proposing a redu tion to other powers. Sir Charles Dilke, advanced Radical, sald he thought t might be possible. In view of the proved relations between Great Brit and France, those two nations might tall the matter over and # lequen E proach Russia. Even if Germany & agree to a reduction the three pc might effect something. It would be s great a mistake to count upon the T States as an enemy as to count upon her as an active ally, for the United States had always been the great defender of the rights of neutrals. Arnold-Forster, the Admiralty Secre- tary, after having pownted out that it was the duty of the Admiralty to de t facts as they were, and not as they might be, said that all the great powers were increasing their maritime preparations mainly Russia. According to the ava able figures France and Russia together were now building three more battleships than Great Britain. As the actual force in ships which could be arrayed against Great Britain ought to be the guiding principle, he denied that the Admiraity's proposals were in excess of the require- ments of the covntry. The Secretary added that he would not on that occasion express any view with regard to the position affected by the United States—"that was a grave condi- tion, which In future would have to be considered. e — SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL DIES IN A RESTAURANT Hattle E.
