The 1 president of the United States re ceived u grand ovation from tho Carolinians and othors gathered there, j Tho audience was most representative of the culture and thought of the ' south. The auditorium was brilliant ly and yet tastefully decorated with the flag of t lie city of Charleston, with the Hag of the State of South Carolina and with the Mag of tie* nation. which is one inspirit and in sympathy. As President boosevcll said the people have heen saying. "This h ' a reunited country," and repeating ; t hat expression for years, not because ; they knew that in every way the see- ' tions had been reunited, but heeause they hoped so. There is now no need ; to repeat that trite saying, because we all know that now all strife and bit-; tcrness is ended. The president entered the hall attended by ('apt. F. \V. Wagoner, , president of the exposition. Instant- ( ly every one in the great auditorium sprang up, and amid the waving of hats and Hugs the yells of enthusiasm < drowned the grand strains of t he "St ar Spangled banner," from the First Ar- ! tillery hand. The president was also attended by his speeial military aide, , Capt. Kolloek, of the famous Charles- | ton Light Dragoons. The president was escorted to t he seat of honor fas- < tooned with Mowers and decked with ' the national colors, ltv his side sat Capt. Wagoner and others who oecu- ' pled prominent places were Philander C. Knox, attorney general of the ' United States: Gov. MeSweeney, (lov. Ayeock, of North Carolina and Mayor Smyth of Charleston. < un,?.. /ii'... * ? ii UI.-I1 vvcijm . n .iKi iu i iinim' in lorm* ' ally open the exercises, he was given ' an ovation which must have made his 1 heart glad. Finally, when In4 was ' permitted to speak, he said that lie ( was happy to sec the way in which . the people of Charleston had appro- ( ciated tiie visit of the president, lie referred to the fact t hat a new era ap- : pears to he opening for Charleston, and that former conservatism is giv- ' ing way to broader sentiments. At every mention of the president's name the crowd burst forth in tumultuous applause, (.'apt. Wagoner presented Gov. MoSwccney, who was received with cheers. The governor had a well written speech. During the course of Gov. McSwccney's speech he was interrupted by a cry of "Hurrah for Teddy," and if was fully t wo min- < utes before Gov. MeSweeney could go on reading his speech. NOKT1I CAROLINA'S OOVKUNOK. Gov. McSwccney then presented Gov. Aycockof North Carolina, and as the two governors stood side by side, that old Joke must have suggested itself to every mind present, for the audience cheered again and again. When quiet was restored, Gov. Aycock began an extemporaneous speech, the first sentence of which caught the crowd, and he was frequently interrupted wlthburstsofapplause. lie is much beloved in bis State, and there were many North Carolinians present. In referring to a statement of Gov. McSwceney that "there is no north and no south,'' Gov. Aycock exclaimed "and yet there is in a liner sense a south and a glorious south." lie spoke of the valor of the people of this section and declared that it required four years of suITcring to cool the hot blood of the people of the south. President Roosevelt showed that he enjoyed Gov. Aycok's declarat ion that this is not a reunited country, for the south never got out of It, and now that she is hack, she will help to put down secession whether it he in this country or in the Philippines. In conclusion he said that he was sure that Mr. Roosevelt, would rather be 1 ~ * * * ? cninc'i1"i <i jKMipiL" UIIHHI UI I IK 1 r history than of a people ashamed of j their history. The ovation which Gov. Aycock received was a line tribute to his eloquence. To Mayor Smyth of Charleston was assigned the distinguished honor of introducing President Roosevelt. Me said in part: "Today, Mr. President, your presence here, your gracious coming to this city by the sea, where lirst the flash of gun and roar of cannon inaugurated that awful struggle between j brothers of the same household, tells us, not only that this war is over, not ( only that the bloody chasm is tilled up, and forever, obliterated, but that ( over it, and upon it, brothers' hands have built a union of States more lasting, more indestructible than ever before, because it is cemented together with the blood of our best and of our bravest, who laid down their lives ( In defence of their rights, and for ( their country, whether they wore the | blue or whether they wore the gray." j SHOOK THK BUILDING. Again the crowd arose and gave cheer after cheer until it seemed 1 that ttie building would be shaken 1 from its foundations, until the flourish 1 of the bugle corps restored order. ! From the lirst the audience caught 1 the whole story of Theodore Roosevelt's life. That lithe, active frame, [ the powerful neck and jaw, the largo, j Arm and resolute mouth, all of these , characteristics had t?ccn told of time i and again,, but there was a certain 1 impulsive, earnest motion of the en- '< tire body which showed the spirit of 1 the man more than anything else, ex- ) ccpt his wonderfully expressive mouth. After a few introductory remarks, Mr. Roosevelt said: "I have but one complaint against J the governor of North Carolina, and (1 that is that he's gone and cruelly said (J first a number of things I wanted to e say myself. But nevermind that; I'll f go ahead and say them anyhow." '1 v.- - lie then proceeded with the speech 10 had prepared. It was delivered In in easy, declamatory style, with a ety peculiar emphasis, and an accent rot unlike the beautiful Charleston i nlleetlon. lie paid glowing tributes <> the south. Once he said: "As ,'ou have said, governor," (turning in ov. Aycock), "the kind of hluod hat stays hot for four years is prcttv jood hlood. 'i'lie kind that cools olf inlckly isn't worth much." Attain in referring to Governor Ay ock's reference to tlie se- I session in the Philippines, the prcsllent said tluit in selecting a vicegovernor for that territory, he had hosen a former Confederate soldier, [Jen. Wright of Tennessee, and here is Ills peroration: "Proud of the south? [ >f course we are proud of the south, northerners and southerners alike. Proud of your great deeds? < )f course I'm proud of your great deeds, for you I lire my people." President I loose veil spoke easily and made few references to the manuscript which he hold In Ins left hand ind used in his gesticulation. The i'resident said: rUKSl DKNT UOOSKV Kl/r's ll is to mo a peculiar privilege lo speak hero In your beautiful city.

HISTORIC CIIAULICSTON. Charleston is not only a typical i southern city: ii Is also a city whoso history teems with events which link i themselves to American history as a i whole. In the early colonial ditys Charleston was t he out post of our poo-; ole against the Spaniard in the south. | hi the days of the revolution thereoe? m red here some of t lie event s which vitally atTcctcd the outcome of tlio struggle for independence, and which impressed themselves most deeply upon the popular mind. It was here I hat t he t rrtnendous. terrible drama of I he civil war opened.

The wounds left by I lie great civil war. incomparably tiie greatest war of mod-rn t hues, ha ve healed: and its memories are now priceless heritages of honor alike to the north and to the south. The devotion, the self-sacrllicc. the steadfast resolution and lofty [hiring, t lie high devot ion to t lie right as each man saw it, whether northerner or southerner all those qualities of t Im men and won a n of t he early sixties now shine luminous and brilliant before our eyes, while 1 lie mists of anger and hatred t hat once dimmed them have passed away forever.

Those were iron I hues, and only iron men eon Id light to its terrible finish tlie giant si nipple between the hosts of Crant and Lee. Tons of the present day, and to our children and children's children, t he valiant deeds, l hehi^h endeavor, and abnegat ion of self shown in that struggle by those who took part therein will remain for evermore to mark the level to which wo in our t urn must rise whenever tho hour of l he nat ion's need may come. When four years ago this nation was compelled to face a foreign foe, the completeness of t he reunion hectune instant ly and strikingly evident. The war was not one which called for the exorcise of more than an insignilieant tract ion of our st rengt h and t he st rain put upon us was slight indeed compared with the results, lint it was a satisfactory thing to see the way in which the sons of the soldier of the union and thi' soldier of l he Confederacy leaped eagerly forward, emulous to show in brot herly rivalry thcqualities which had won renown for their fat hers, the men of the great war. It was my good fortune to serve under an ex-Confederate general, gallant old Joe Wheeler, w ho commanded the cavalry division at Santiago. TKIIU TKTO MICAH .J10NK1NH. In my regiment there were certainly as many men whose fat tiers had served in the southern, as there were men whose fathers had served in the northern army. Among t he captains there was opportunity to promote but one to lield rank. The man who was singled out for this promot ion because of conspicuous gallantry in the field was t he son of a Confederate general and was himself a oil i/.en of t his, t he Palmetto State; and no American otllcer could wish to march to battle beside a more loyal, gallant and absolutely fearless comrade than my former captain and major, your fcllow-citix.en, Micab Jenkins. ? ION. 1,1' K K WRIGHT. A few months ago. owing to the enforced absence of t lie governor of the Philippines, it became necessary to nominate a vice-governor to take Ins place -one of the most important places in our government at tins time. I nominated as vice-governor an ext'onfederate, (ten. Luke Wright of Tennessee. It is therefore an ex-Confederate who now stands as the exponent, of t his government and t his people in that great group of islands in the eastern seas over which the American Hag floats. Qon. Wright has taken a leading part in the work of steadih bringing order and peace out of the bloodv chaos in which we found the islands, lie is now taking a leading part not merely upholding the honor of i lie 11 jig by making it respected as l he syn\tK)l of our power, but st ill more in upholding its honor by unwearied labor for t be establishment of ordered liberty of law-creating, law-abiding civil government under its folds. The progress which has lx*en made under (ten. Wright and t hose like him has been indeed marvelous. In fact, ;i letter of the general's the other day seemed to show that he considered there was far more warfare .ibout the Philippines in this country than there was warfare in the Philippines themselves! It is an added proof of the completeness of the reunion of our country that one of the foremost men vho have been Instrumental in driving 'orward the great work for civilization md humanity in t he Philippines has X'cn a man who in the civil war fought vith distinction in a uniform of (k>nederate gray. UNITY OF PURPOSE. If ever the need comes in the future he ojist has made abundantly evident he fact that from this time on northrn and southerner will In war know illy the generous desire to strive how ach can do t tie more etrcct ivo service or the flag of our common country. ?he same thing is true in the endless | ?rnmrnttmamammmmm. i i xwwfi n n work of peace, t tic* never-ending work of building and keeping the marvelous fabric of our Industrial prosperity. The upbuilding of any pari of our country is a beneut tot lie whole, and every sneh elfort as this to stimulate the resources and industry of a particular section to the heart lest support from every quarter of the Union. Thoroughly good national work can be done only if each of ns works hard for himself, and at the same time keeps constantly In mind that he must work in conjunct Ion with ot Iters. 'I'll K WKST IN OIKS. You have made a particular cITort In your ex posit ion to get Into touch with the West Indies. This is wise. The events of the last four years have shown list lad the West Indies anil the Isthmus must 111 tho future occupy a far larger place in our national policy t halt in t he past. This is proved hy t lie negotiations for the purchase of the Danish islands, the acqiiisit ion of I'nerto Itico,the preparation for building an isthmian canal, and. Ilnally, hy lite changed relations which these years have produced between us and Cuba. KKKK (TllA. As a nation we have an especial right to take honest pride in what we have don for Cuba. Our critics abroad and of home have insisted that we never intended to len\e the island. 1.111 (Mi i lie uui li <>l next month Culm becomes a free republic, and we turn over to t be islanders t be control of their own government. It would be very (litllcull to linda parallel in the conduct of any other ureal State that lias occupied such a position as ours. We have kept our word and done our duty, just as an honest individual In private keeps bis word and does bis duly. Iit remembered, moreover, that tiller our three years'occu pat ion of the island we t urn it over to t he Cubans in a bet Lercondition t ban it ever litis been in till the centuries of Spanish rule. This has a direct bearing upon our own welfare. Cuba is so near to us that we can never be indifferent to misgovernment and disaster wit bin its limits. The mere fact t bat our administration in (lie island litis minimized the danger from the dreadful scourge of yellow fever, alike to Cuba and to ourselves, is sullicient to emphasize I be community of interest between us. Hut there "arc other interests which hind us together. Cuba's position makes it necessary that her political relations wit b its should differ from her polit ieal rclat ions wit h ot her powers. This fact has been formulated by us a nit accepted by the Cubans in tin4 LMabt amendments. It follows as a corollary that where tlie Cubans have I 1,1,c. ... .......I I. 1 < " \ 11ii.i a?uuk'u <i |kin11 ion oi |)('('1111?i r re* | ];itionsliip lo our political system they must similarly stand in a peculiar re-1 lat ionsliip lo our economic systcm, We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba adopting toward us an attitude differing politically from that she j adopts toward any ot her power; and in return, as a matter of right, we must give to Cuba a dilTcront t hat is a bettor position economically In her relat ions with us t ban we give t o ot her powers. This is the course dictated by sound policy, by a wise and farslghicd view of our own interest, and by the position we have taken during the past ! four years. We are a wealthy audi powerful count ry, dealing wit h a much weaker one; and t he cont rast in wealt h and st rengt h makes it all t In* more our duty to deal with Cuba, as we have already dealt with her, in a spirit of large generosity. TIIK KXPOSITION. The exposit ion is rendered possible because of the period of industrial prosperity through which we are passing. While material well-being is never all-sullleietil lot he life of a nation, yet it is the merest t ruism to say that its absence means ruin. We need to build higher life upon it as a foundation; hut we can build lit t lo indeed unless this foundation of prosperity is deep and broad. The well-being which we are now enjoying can be secured only through general business prosperity, aim such prosperity is conditioned upon the energy and hard work, the sanity and t lie mutual respect, of all classes of capitalist s. large and sin II, of wage workers of every degree. As is inevitable in a time oi'business prosperity, some men succeed more than others, and it is unfortunately also inevitable that when this is the case some unwise people are sure to t ry to appeal lo Hie envy and jealously of those who succeed least. It is a good thing when these appeals are made to remember t hat while it is difficult to increase prosperity by law, it is easy enough to ruin it, and that thei'e is small satisfaction to the less prosperous if they succeed in overthrowing both the more prosperous and t hemselves in t he crash of a common disaster. Kvery industrial exposition of this type necessarily calls up the thought of the complex social and economic questions which are involved in our present industrial system. Our astounding material prosperity, t lie sweep and rush rat her than t he mere march of our progressive material development , have brought grave troubles in their train. We cannot ailord to blink these troubles, any more than because of them we can afford lo accept as true the gloomy forebodings of the prophets of evil. There are great problems before us. They are not insoluble, but they can be solved only if we. approach t hem in a spirit of resolute fearlessness, of common sense, and of honest intention to do fair and equal just ice to all men alike. We arc certain to fail if we adopt the policy of the demagogue who raves against the wealth which is simply the form of embodied thrift, foresight, and intelligence; who would shut t he door of opportunity against those whose energy we should especially foster, by perili/ing the qualities which tell for success. .lust as little can we afford to follow those who fear to recognize injust ice and to endeavor to cut it out because the task is difficult or even if performed by unskillful hands dangerous.

Secretary Hoot today sent an answer to the house resolution adopted on March lf>, calling upon him for all facts that have come to ills knowledge as to the conduct of the transport services between Sail Francisco and the I'hillippinc islands. The answer Includes the reports of Inspector (ieneral Chamberlain and Lieutenant Colonel Mans. The reports of various otllcers, enclosed by Secretary Hoot, cover several hundred pages. Major (Ieneral S. It. M. Young In transmitting the report of Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlain, submits an analysis of the report, showing no adequate supervision to any feature of the titling out of transports, for a long time after the service was inaugurated, and later the elTorts to reform the system. (Ieneral Young speei lies lack of securing compel it ivc bids. lie says: "In the ease of the Hancock (before the board was organized) involving an expenditure approximating. if not amounting to half a million dollars, the matter of indicating needed repairs was put into the hands of ollicials unknown to t ransport reg uiauouh uinici vcrnai orders and plenary power given by the honorable seerelary of war to insure more sanitary arrangements on that transport." (Jeneral Young also spec!lies the ease of "an inexperience man who knew nothing about paints, being employed to supervise painting, in a business where the painting bill of a single tlrm in two years and two months amounted to In other respects, it< is stated, the report shows that work was given out and supplies for general use (such as the lilt ing up of cabins) were purchased without due regard, habitually, to the protection of the government's interests. On that branch of the investigation covering cost of articles etc., (Jeneral Young's summing up of the Chamberlain report says that in one case where the bill was $lf>,.'llH, the work is pronounced "generally unsatisfactory, charges excessive and material inferior." Prices paid for material were often strikingly in excess of the then current market prices for the same articles of like qualify and supplies were purchased in open market without advertising. it is further stated in (Jeneral Young's summary that preference seems to have been shown special firms to the point of ordering from them art icles out of their line ot business, these tirm at the same time charging exorbitant prices, to the ex lent, in a few instances of 100 per cent in excess of railing market rates. Upon the facts developed by t he investigation, General Voting remarks that under the pressure of necessity of moving large bodies of troops at shortnot ice. lack of methods and forms to safeguard the government occurred. Lieutenant Colonel Chamberlain spccilies in detail the features summarized hy General Young. He refers to the report of the "Hates hoard" that much of the work done on the Logan was defective, also that the amount spent on the Hancock, $017,011$, was excessive and was for luxurious tit tings. Lengthy descriptions arc given of furnishings, etc., of inferior quality placed on various transports. A Gruesome I'iml. Wednesday at about 2 o'clock some negro fishermen who were fishing on Long Cane creek about 5 miles from Abbeville made a gruesome find. It was the body of a negro man with his throat cut from ear to ear. The wound appeared as if it had been done with an axe. The body had evidently been in the water for several days, as the skin was coming olT the body where exposed. The body is supposed to he that of Morgan Belcher, who disappeared two weeks ago.

HOMEWARD IIOl'ND. President Roosevelt Given a Grsnd Ovation by the People. HIS APPRECIATIVE REMARKS. Incidentally He Puts in (loot! Words tor the Imposition. (aiven I'Ioh crN I'roin IIis Motlirr'n I Maynroo ml. President Roosevelt's homeward trip from Charleston to Washington was ono grand ovation, which please ! him no little. At nearly every station lie was cordially greeted by crowds of people. The train stopped at only a few places, hut President Roosevelt never failed to make his appearance at the rear end of the train and greet cd the people by bowing to them as the t rain sped by When the train reached Columbia from live to six thousand people were at the depot to greet the President and wish him (iod speed upon his journey hack to the nation's capital. The welcome given was hearty and whole-souled, and the response of the president was one expressive of the enjoyment of the trip to South Carolina, and apprcciat ivc of the gathering in Columbia, of the welcome given him in Charleston and of the great exposition. The president was in a rollicking good humor, and he left upon all the impression that he is a plain American citizen, devoid of affectation, glad to shake an honest man's hand, that he is a man of force and yet full of good nature and humor. As the train rolled in the depot and slopped between the two walls of people President Roosevelt was standing in the doorway of the last coach, a smile on his face, and he raised his silk hat and repeatedly bowed acknowledgements of the vigorous, and hfsirty cheers given him. As the train stopped the. Smith Carolina college hoys gave one of their college yells ending wit h "1 looseveil ."and the pronunciation on the second rendition. I>y this time the crowd was dense about the end of the car, which was inclosed with a brass balustrade. Tilt: I'KKSI DKXTH Hl'KKCII. The cheering continued until the president leaning forward attempted to speak several times, finally wl en t he cheering ceased sutlielently, he arldressed the crowd thus: Ladiesand Cent lemen: I thank you most heartily for your courtesy incoming forward to greet me t his afternoon, and it Is only one of the expressions of the invariblc courtesy with which I have enjoyed every moment of the three days 1 have been down here. I think l was a pretty good American when I came down, aim I am a better American as 1 leave your landers. And let me in closing ask of you now to support to the best of your ability t he exposition in Charleston, and I ask that not only of you 1 >ut of all our people in the union. It is a great tribute to the energy, the forethought, the business enterprise of t he people of Charleston, that they should have planned and have built so really beaut iful ex posit ion and t hey deserve all t lie help t hey can possibly have for it, and I wish them well, and I wish you well, and I thank you for the way you have treated me. Many by this time had gotten near enough to the platform to hand up Mowers they had brought. There were many bouquets of violets, no end of wild Mower, and some thoughtful people sent up a magnicent bunch of calla lilies and a box of crab apple and dogwood blossoms, and yellow jessamine gathered at old liarhamvil'o near Columbia, the siteof the institution at which the president's mother had been educat ed. Several times I ho president asked if the lady who had sent the box was present.Mayor Farle and the alderman of t he city shook hands with the President, whom he greeted most cordially. Then it was that a season of general handshaking began, and continued until t he police had to clear t lie space about the car in order to allow the locomotive to couple to the train. As rapidly as possible the president would shake hands with all who could force their way to the end of the car. MH8. UOOSKVKLT. There were calls for Mrs. Koosevelt. The president stopped handshaking again, and turning to the door soon conducted the charming first lady of the land out upon the platform. Mrs. Roosevelt smiled sweet ly and bowed, and in her hand were some of t he Mowers sent up. The president quickly said: "This is Mrs. Roosevelt, and as she cannot speak I will speak for her, and thank you for your reception.'' There was laughter, and the college hoys gave "three time three" for Mrs. Roosevelt. The handshaking then continued. Finally there appeared a lady with a handsome boy in her arms. The little fellow was holdinur no Ids hnnrl and was still some distance away when the president's eye rested upon hi in. He waved all back exclaiming, "Ah, I'm going to shake the little one's hand. living him on." Then he added to the crowd, "1 have a half dozen of those myself," exciting more laughter and cheers. TIIK DEPAIITUKK. After tills Incident the president continued to the very last to shake hands with all who reached him. Mrs. Roosevelt leaned over and shook hands cordially with several ladles.Occasionally the president dropped bright and pleasant remarks, and repeatedly he warned t..hecrowd not to push or shove; that ladles were near the car. There were a number of city police about the car, but their service were not necessary save to clear a space just before the train pulled out, with the president and Mrs. Roosevelt remaining on the rear platform, and waving to the cheering crowds.
