floors of the building would have held

AT THE EXPOSITION.
Arriving at the Exposition building, the
president addressed a vast audience from
an improvised platform, speaking to the
soldiers and others on the general aubject
of expansion, incidentally rendering a
greeting to the Thirteenth After
the speeches, Gov. Lind. Attorney
General Griggs and Secretary Of
the Navy Long being the other
speakers, the soldiers surrendered
their arms to Adjt. Gen. Lambert for the
government and repaired to the Exposi-
ton hall, where dinner was served by the
women of Minneapolis.
The distraction of the fire, with a later
alarm from the retail district of Nicollet
avenue, served to relieve the pressure of
the crowd in the later exercises of the
day which had been so notable during
the earlier parts of the programme, and
for hours the crowd loaded every car line,
especially the interurban, several thou
sand people coming to st. Paul between
8 and 6.

a roar arose that threatened to lift the
roof off of the old structure. The presi-

bowling right and left. To Mayor Kiefer
he remarked, "It is a grand sight" and

the more prominent citizens of st. Paul.
Before them there was Gordon of po-
lice white-gloved and in immaculate
uniforms. President Mckinley to5k his
stand with the members of his cabinet
at one corner of the platform ard then
the doors were thrown open, and be-
tween the double line of police the peo-
pie waiting outside were given a chance
to pass through in single file and greet
the chief magistrate With outstretched
hand and that fixed smile that the presl>

handshake on the twenty-a-minute or
der. Long practice has accus omed the
president to clasp the hand of the bcam,
ing citizen, smile, and with a gentle
shove pass him along at record rae.
Many of those who awaited themselves
of the chance to clasp the hand of the
president were women and a large pro-
portion of the seated audience were Of
the fair sex.

alarm of fire was turned in from the

block occupied by manufacturing and
wholesale houses, which, in view of the
holiday, was almost deserted. With the
headway the flames gained while the fire

able to make only slight impression

greeting, and then the special went on
to Minneapolis.
The center of interest shifted to the SIS
ter. city with the departure of the trains
bearing the president and the regiment
until evening. when the public reception
that was given at the Auditorium to give
the people q chance to shake hands with
the president drew another immense
throng to the vicinity of the vast hall.
Long before the hour set for the opening
of the reception Eighth street In front Of
the building was literally black with peo-
pie. Street cars were compelled to aban-
don the use of the loop, and for time
these was a general congestion of the
public travel in the vicinity of the Audi

and his cabinet from Minneapolis in the
private car of President Thomas Lowry,
of the Twin City Rapid Transit company,
whose guest the president and his party
were after the exercises in Minneapolis,
