Rev. DR.. Stafford delivered an impress

sion President Roosevelt stepped to
the front of the platform and extend
ed generous welcome to the French
guests in the following words:
''Mr. Ambassador and you, the Represen-
tatives of the Mighty Republic of France !:
I extend to you on behalf of the people OF
the United States the warmest and most
cordial greeting. We appreciate to the fun
all that is implied in this embassy, COM

sent over here by President Loubet to COM

citizen of the United States, of every Amer
lean to whom the honor and the glory of
our republic in the past as in the present,
are dear, when l say that we prize this
fresh proof of the friendship of the French
people, not only because 1t is necessarily
pleasing to us to have the friendship of a
nation so mighty in war and SO mighty
in peace as France has ever shown herself
to be, but because it is peculiarly plea SAINT
to feel that, after century and a quarter
of Independent existence as nation, the
French republic should feel that in that
century and quarter We have justified the

Acknowledgements to the embassy that has
come mere and to President Loubet and all
of the French nation, both for the deed and
for the magnanimous spirit that laid be-
hind the doing of the deed, and l thank
YOU" (Applause.)
AS the president closed his remarks,
the Countess de Rochambeau drew
aside the wells enveloping the figure,
bringing into view the massive bronze
proportions of the famous French
commander, standing proudly erect
with arm outstretched, directing the
fortunes of war on the field of York
town. A great cheer went up from
Frenchmen and Americans alike.
Then the ambassador, speaking in
French, delivered brief address.
Following the French ambassador,
Gen. Horace Porter, the United States
ambassador to France, made brief
address, and was followed by Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts. AS Mr..
Lodge closed the French band played

ing remarks of the day were made by
Gen. Brugere, of the French army.
Bishop satterlee brought the cere-
monies to close with benediction and
the French and American forces passed
in review before the president.

INDIANA GUARANTEED.
Action by Kentucky Authorities Be-
cause of the Prevalence of SMALL
pox Along the Border.

Louisville, Ky, May 2s.--The Ken
lucky state board of health at a
meeting Tuesday night quarantined
against the whole state of Indiana
on account of a dangerous smallpox
outbreak, said to be raging in 60 of
the 90 Indiana counties. Gov. Dur
bin, of Indiana. refused to act, and as
a consequence Kentucky will prevent
persons coming from the north en-
tering the state without having cer-
tifcate signed by the Indiana state
board of health.
indianapolis, May 2s.-The action
of the Kentucky health authorities in
quarantining against Indiana caused
much unrest here when it became
known. Indiana health authorities
do not think the situation is suffi-
GENTLY grave to Justify the action.
The trouble is only in the counties
adjoining Kentucky.

HOLDS WALLER GUILTY.
Been Overruled by Gen.
Chaffee.

Manila, May 26.-Gen. Chaffee has
disapproved the action of the court
martial in acquitting Maj. Waller and
Lieut.. Day of the charge of killing
natives of Samar without legal pro-
cess. Gen. Chaffee says the verdicts
are a miscarriage of justice and the
findings are opposed to the evidence.
He holds that while the laws of war
Justify summary executions in GER
tain cases, such cases did not arise in
this Samar campaign. A minute re-
view of the record leads him to de-
eide that justice to the military SER
vice and common fairness to the help
less natives whom Waller sent to
their death, his acts partaking more
of unlawful retaliation than justif-
able warfare, making the case one
that should not become an approved
precedent for young officers. How
ever, considering the mental condi-
ton of Maj. Waller, so much of the
findings as declare the accused not
guilty of murder are approved. Lieut.
Day is censured because, though he
knew Maj. Walters condition, he did
not counsel delay. Instead, he sec
onded Maj. Walters resolve ant
promptly executed orders, which
under the circumstances, he SHOULD
have disobeyed, thus guarding thu
honor of his country and probabl,
preventing one of the most regretta
BILE incidents in the history of the
American military service.

TRADE REVIEW.
Situation In Business and Industrial
Circles MS Viewed by Lead
ing Agencies.

New York, May PAR. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Many
minor labor controversies have been settled,
but the situation in the anthracite coal
region has assumed a more serious aspect.
Railway earnings continue satisfactory;
roads reporting for two weeks of May show
gains of 81 per cent. over last year, and 1874
per cent. over 1900. No change is reported
in the iron and steel situation, former con-
ditions merely becoming intensified by the
threatened decrease in supplies of fuel and
the labor controversies in certain branches
Of the industry. The railways are seek
ing rails, rolling stock and other equip
tural material. Quiet conditions have pre-
vailed in the cereal markets, with only a
moderate volume of option transactions
and fractional changes in quotation. Dis
patches from correspondents of R. G. Dun
& Co. indicate satisfactory progress with

recorder business for this season of the

for which have been induced by short
yields and straitened supplies last year.
