estimated that besides the population
of $4,000 there are 10000 strangers
within the its gates-seemed anxious
to meet Oklahoma City's distinguished
guest and grasp his hand. Indians,
cowboys, regular army men and rough
riders were his constant attendants
throughout the day.
The weather was extremely hot and
dry, but breeze from the west
served in some measure to take the
curse Off. The reunion was fairly in
augurated by the civic and military
parade in which Gov. Roosevelt was
given the place of honor. During it's
progress through, the streets the
Rough Riders were greeted with ex-
traordinary demonstrations of en-
thusiasm from the throngs which lined
the streets. The parade proceeded to
the compress grounds where the
formal exercises of the day took place.
The welcoming address in behalf Of
Oklahoma territory was given by Gov

rived here at about 9:30 a. m, and for
half an hour democrats and republi.
cans alike united in giving him a yocif'
erous welcome and in shaking his
hand until he was glad to quit. The
Santa Fe overland train on which Gov,
Roosevelt was travelling was due at
$3.50 a. m. At that time about 1000 peo-
pie had congregated in the Union
depot sheds to get glimpse of New
Yorks governor, but by the time the
train pulled in fully 1000 were jammed
along the platforms, sitting on the
roofs of the train sheds and clinging
TO the iron girders. Shortly before
Gov Roosevelt's train arrived big

The instant the train stopped rush

governor was kept busy shaking
hands with enthusiastic men and won

tate terms to the Chinese from the
palace at Pekin.
The EmperOr's speech.
"The fire brand of war has been
hurled in the midst of the most pro-
found peace. Unhappiy this was to
me not unexpected. A crime OF un-
speakable insolencc, horrifying in its
barbarity, has been committed against
the person of my trusty representa-
tive, and has taken him from us. The
ministers Of the other powers hover
between life and death, and with them
comrades sent for their protection. 1t
may be that while | speak they have
already fought their last fight"
The German Flag InsuItcd.
"The German flag has been insultcd
and the German empire treated with
contempt. This demands exemplary
punishment and vengeance. Events
have moved with frightful rapdity,
and have become profoundly grave and
still graver Since called to you to
arms what hoped to effect with the
help of the marine infantry has now
become n difficult task which can only
be fulfilled with the help of the SER
ried ranks of Al civilized states.

flag, joined in those Of the other pow

We must bear In mind, too, some
