Sews arrived at the Fortress Monroe
lock with Secretaries (.'ortclvou, Gar- !
field and Sua.is, t!f?? Diplomatic
.'orps and others of official promi
nence. An army transport brought
high rat.king ollicers of the army
from Washington. The Congressional )
representation, headed by Speaker
Cannon, had arrived at Fortress Mon- |
roe the night before. All these Vari
ous contingents were i; ceo :n pan ted j
oy many women, the wives and other
members of the families of thoso who
attended the opening exercises in un
jfiiclal capacity.
It was 8.30 o'clock when the re* !
view of tho assembled fleet was be- |
ing begun, Tho Mayflower steamed
? uctiveen lines oi grim warships, for-'
plgu and domestic, and when she
;"?anio to anchor the Hag olflcars oi the
several divisions were received by the
President on board his yacht.
From tho lime tho Mayflower
utarted on her cruise around the fleet
until the President left her to go
ashore to tha Exposition grounds
there was an almost unending series j
Df salutes. Every ship ir. that Im
posing gathering llred twenty-one J
guns in lunor of the Nation's Chief
Df State, and every Admiral who 1
:aiT,e aboard the Mayflower to pay his
respects got proper honors from tho
yacht's saluting batte'-y.
There were thirty-eight vessels of
tho American Navy and ten foreign
warships In the great fleet assembled |
In Hampton Honda to do honor to the |
?>ecnslou. Rear-Admiral Hobley I).
Evans, commander-in-chief of the At
lantic naval station, was in charge.
Tho assemblage of craft that ?as
under his immediate command was
great enough and Imposing enough
to make any nation proud. Sixteen
floating fortresses and more than that
number of smaller ships composed
?"the American contingent.
According to tho program. Presi
dent Roosevelt left the yacht May
flower for the landing nt tho Exposi
tion grounds at 10.30 o'clock. He
? was met by a military escort, who ac
companied him to tho receiving stand
in the grounds. Here tho principal
exercises of tho day began shortly
after the President's arrival.
A distinguished gathering received
the President and his party at Dis
covery Landing. It included Harry^
St. (Jeorge Tucker, president of the
Exposition, and alt the general offi
cers of the Exposition, Rear-Admiral
p. F. Harrington, in charge of the
naval program, and MaJor-General
Fred. D. Grant, who arranged the
military attractions. When Mr.
Konr.evelt stepped ashore from the
Mayflower's launch, he received his
fust formal welcome from Mr. Tuck
er "Old Virginia salutes you, sir,"
he exclaimed, as he xrasped the Pres- J
Jdent's hand. After an exehango of j
greetings during which the bands
played patriotic selections, the party
proceeded In carriages to the grand
stand. The cheering crowd pressed

could proceed with his address. The
people again aud agafn gave vent to
their enthusiasm. The President be

Tljere was nothing in this address
to mj&et the expectation in some quar
ters/that Mr. Roosevelt would make
so in b start ling declaration of eonWmi
plHtcU policy. /The President merely
repeated?Hsmiie 6i his well-known
Views:
He said that tl\e country's greato&L
problem to-day is tho proper control
of tho business uses of great wealthy
and reiterated tlie declaration trtut

speech he declared that the duties
which most concern iis of this genera
tion are social and Industrial. It was
1.10 o'clock p. in. when the President
finished. There was more cheering
then;
As President Roosevelt preyed the
geld button which formally. opened
th<* Exposition it was a signal for
the Unfurling Of a thousand Or more
flags tin the various buildings. At
t|ie sanio time a i;igna| was given to
Hie United Stales and foreign war
ships and to the garrison at. Fort
Munroe, and all fired a salute to the
Union. When the echoes of the last
gun died away, al of the bands on
the Exposition grounds played the
"Star Spangled Banner" and the
iroopg saluted the national r.nthem
by presenting arms and all persons
present bared heads.
After this impressive ceremony the
President of the United States, his
Cabinet, members of the Diplomatic
Corps, committees from both
branches of Congress, GovwtMra >f
States and official guests of the Ex
position were Ferved luncheon In tho
auditorium annex. During the
luncheon the parade ground was
cleared and the great crowds secured
places around the walks to witness
the military pageant. On the review
ing stand, besides the President, were
members of his Cabinet and other
official visitors as well as several
hundred especially invited guests.
While the military feature was not
largo It was of a splendid character.
It was commanded by Major-General
Fred, I), Grant as grand marshal,
-vlio was attended by his entire staff,
.n addition he had nbout a score of
honorary aides, chosen largely from
Union and Confederate societies and
historical associations.
The fo^tj organizations were formed
in double rank and passed In review
In company front, while the cavalry
and artillery passed in columns of
platoons. No honors were paid along
the line of march except the saluta
to tho President. After the review
the United States and foreign naval
detachments returned to their ves
sels. and the army.detachments went
to Camp Captain John Smith, which
is the name given in an order by
General Grant to the post at the Ex
position grounds.

Norfolk, Va. ? Americans Lave
lurried from thoughts of the Interna
tional t?eace Cdn Terence to ihd most
splendid, Iriteriiatlanal war Spectacle
tbia country and probably tno (1
hiis ever seori. The Jamoatown Ter
Ceritorinlal Exposition, the newest
world's fair, wljl bo "a military, na
vai, marine and historic exhibition,"
according to the official statements.
History will be given Its due at the
texpoaitiori as well n? the arto of
peape; but the distinctive feature will
be the Sight of Hampton Roads?fll
rfcudy a famous naval arena?alive
#ith the lighting craft of many na
tions, tne shores glittering With sol
diers in friendly rendezvous.
Tho remarkable naval display Is
made possible by the fact that the
Jamestown Exposition Is the first
great American fair held on a doep
water harbor. Practically all the civ
ilized nations have accepted tho Pres
ident's Invitation to send aoctions of
their navies. As- tho sum mot' ad
vances t|ie varying types of fighting
Craft, from saucy torpedo boats to tho
largost war vessel afloat, will pass
through the harbor in endless proces
sion. Tho United States Government
will have an extensive display, show
ing the evolution of guns and fighting
ships from the early days of tho Na
tion to the present. There will also
be a large encampment of militia,
regular army and foreign troops.
There are twenty-five battleships
and cruisers In the line headed by the
Connecticut Just off the Government
pier at Fortress Monroe, which trails
away up the broad channel leading to
Norfolk. The vessels aro anchored
several thousand yards off the Expo
sition shore, and, arranged In a huge
semicircle, aro visible from every part
of the grounds.
Every type of fighting craft In the
American navy Is represented In the
present rendezvous. The battleships
range from the 16,000 ton Connecti
cut and Louisiana down to the all but
abandoned,, Texas, the oldest Ameri
can battleship and sister of the Malnd,
whlch was wrecked in Havana harbor.
The Texas was built at the Norfolk
navy yard many year* ago, and, being
a local product, Is to remain at the
Exposition as a permanent feature of
the naval exhibit. With her sight
guns and paltry 6316 tons of weight
the Texas, when ranged alongside the
mammoth Connecticut, which mounts
twenty-four guns and displaces 19,
000 ton9-of water, offers a striking
example of tho progress of the Ameri
can navy since thedays of 1886, when
the Texas and tho first Maino wero
authorized by Congress.
Tho Brooklyn, bearing on hor after
turret the memorial plate simply and
eloquently Inscribed "July 3, 1898,"
will also remain a permanent naval
exhibit' during tho seven months of
the life of the Exposition.
The cruisers of the fleef are all
modern craft, though the variance in
size between tho largest and tho
smallest is as great as that which
marks the heavier vessels of the bat
tle class.
Tho armored cruisers Tennessee
and Washington, each of 14,500 tons
and mounting twenty guns apiece,
are the heaviest of the cruisers. Tho
smallest cruisers aro tho Denver and
the Cleveland?3100 tons each?tho
third class of tho protected vessels of
the navy. In tho cruiser class tho
most Interesting vessel Is perhaps the
Brooklyn, the flagship of Hear-Ad
miral Schley In the battle with Cor
vcra's squadron oft Santiago, Cuba.
Tho fleet has been, arranged bo as I
to give the vlsitorsQto tho Exposition
the best possible opportunity for
viewing tho fighting strength of tho
American navy. The glistening white
hulls, spotless In their new coats of
paint, and the buff superstructures of
the two and three piped Uno-of-battlo
ships and armored arid protected
cruisers, form a marine panorama as
viewed from the water front esplan
ade of the Exposition grounds such
as has soldom. If ever, before been
presented to the American public.
The Navy Department has pro
pared a 1UL of the foreign vessels to
be la Hampton Roads.
Tottiou Arsenal Fire.
1 Five large buildings wero destroyed
?y tho nre, alleged to be incendiary,
at tho Toulon (France) arsenal.
Thirty n(k?rc injured and the sub
marine ano^tfcrpedo stations were
damaged.
? Weather Unfavorable.
Cold weather hat prevailed over an
mutually Urge area, retarding agri
cultural progresa as well as trade in
The iTrlt inli fleet will consist of four
armed cruisers?the flood Hope, Ar
gyll, Hampshire nrul Roxbourg,' un
der the commnnd of u llcar-Admlral.
The German fleet will consist of the
armftred cruiser Hoon and (ho pro
tected Cruiser firemen, under the
comnmhd of a Commodore.
Tho Austrian ships nil] consist of
(he armored cruiser SanUt Georg find
(he protected cruiser Asporn, uhdor
the command of a Commodore, who
will he promoted to he a H?>ar-Ad
miral.
Tho Drnzillan fleet, under a Hoar
Admiral, consists of the battleship
Hiachue'.o, tho cruiser Ihirroso and
the guit vessel Tamoyo. The n*azil
laii fleet will ho th? only foreign one
containing a battleship.
The Argentine Republic will send
the training ship Presldento Sarmlen
to under the command of a comman
der.
The Japanese fleet, In command of
a Vice-Admiral, will consist of the ar
mored cruiser Trukuba and the pro
tected cruiser Chitoso.
It is noticeable that while Japan
sends some or her finest warships to
represent her navy, and one of her
foremost generals, the Russian Gov
ernment will not ho represented by a
single ship, nor is it knfiwn that any
officer of her army will come here.
The other foreign countries to be
represented will bo France, Italy,
Chile and Portugal.
Italy will send two vessels in com
mand of a captain, the armored cruis
er Varese and the protected cruiser
Etruria. Chile will send tho protect
ed cruiser Mlnistro Zenleno under the
command of a captain, while Portu
gal will send a protected cruiser,
probably tho Don Carlos. Spain haB
not signified her iutontlons of send
ing any war vessels.
The entertainment committee of
the fleet Is now arranging a water
carnival, finch vessel of tho great,
floet has been asked to provldo a
float for the occasion. Tho pageant
will bo on some evening yet to be de
termined. Several ships have al
ready decided on the floats they will
send. Three will send three of their
cutters to represent the three old-tlmo
craft which brought tho Pilgrims to
Jamestown.
Another float will represent tho
Great Harry, a renowned ship of war
of that period, and on the request of
the Admiral the Navy Department is
now searching tho archives to know
Just whAt tho vessel was like. Then
there will bo plrato ships, gondolas, a
float showing Neptune and his tri
dent and much olso besides. During
tho carnival the ships will ho illum
inated, and thero will be a hundred
searchlights playing over the brilliant
Gcenc,
Aside from such diversions tho
strong armada will havo little to do
in the waiting days. Tho ships long
ago completed their toilets and are so
splc and span they hurt tho eye. No
where Is there an atoning blemish.
It is all spotless buff and white,
touched off here and there with the
glint of polished Pteel and the shim
mer of shining brass.
From the flagship definite an
nouncement came that, the fleet will
disperse on May 15. Two divisions
will then go to sea for manoeuvring
purposes, one division will go to navy
yards for such minor repairs as may
bo needed, and one division will ro
main hero until relieved by one of tho
divisions coning in from manoeuvres.
Tho four divisions, sixteen battleships
in all, are to reassemble hero on Juno
10, set apart a:| Georgia Day, when
thero will be a celebration In honor
of tho birthday of thomother of Pres
ident Roosoveit.
As tho foreign ships arrive they
aro officially welcomed by a boom of
cannon from the Connecticut, the
flagship of Rear-Admiral Kobley D.
Evans, commanding the Atlantic
flret. All the American, vessels now
at anchor belong to (his fleer
Tho unique feature of tho Exposi
tion will bo thcharbor for small craft,
with an area of 1,280,000 square
feot, inclossd by piers, costing the
i United States Government 5400,000.

Indeed many think that whlie early

crops from the snowstorm more than
offset the damage.

.leans taught spiritual and moral
principles. Ho tvaa not foolish
enough to endeavor to give to us a
set of rules-whieh should he for us a

gave no sot of statutes. Realizing
that wo are men and not automatons
our Lord suggests the principles and
then leaves tho individual to work
out for himself under tho guidance
of tho Spirit of Cod tlio application
of (ho principle of Ills own life. Christ
didn't worry about tlio geographical
situation of Juden or over the ques
tion as to whether the world is flat or
round. Those points at lssuo woro
quite beyond His province. His mis
sion was to teach spiritual and moral
truth, and Ho had neither time nor
tnslo for anything else. Why should
lie worry over secondary and tran
sient matters when the souls of men
woro In dire need of that primal
truth which la necessary unto eternal
life?
Jesus also taught with authority.
He knew that tho truth was In Him
and He let no man contradict Him
with success.
Ho spake, and to those men?be
lieving and unbelieving?it canio as
tho voice of Cod. The honest heart
ed believed unto r.alvatlon; those
who didn't want to accept His truth
sent Him away in s '*ni and' crucified
Him at tho last. The Jews sent
Jesus to His death not becaueo they
did not realize tho force of His words
but very largely because He spake
loo much truth to,suit. them. Some
one has said that there is no moro
hazardous task than that, of carrying
the torch of truth into those hidden
recesses where the light has never
shown. Jesus found tills to be true.
Christ's application of His theorios
to the needs of every day and Ills
posltivo insistence upon thy legiti
macy of the demands of godliness
and ultimate truth upon the lives of
all men are tho secrets of His mar
velous power aro a preacher. He-riot

also showed how theso Ideas could
become factors for uplift in the busy
lives of rnetO The duty to love God
and to serve the truth *was not w|th
Him a menial problem, bift a fact ot
life. Christ never minced- words,
He knew that which He was after,
?nd He never failed to make His
hearers see what He meant. VTrld,
direct, without u waver, Christ sent
home the truth. And It wa? this
that gained Him both friends and
enemies, at it will any man who daree
to state the truth men either cannot
see or will not bear. What a pro
