 Charleston, s. C., April 9.-A long and
 brilliant procession with the president
 of the United States at it's head, march
 ed through Charlestons ancient streets to-day to the exposition grounds, where i the days celebration eliminated in in teresting exercises, the feature of which
 was the presentation by the president of a handsome sword to Major Jenkins, , former member of the famous Rough Rider regiment.
 | At the conclusion of the exercises the president inspected the different build | ings, exhibits and art museum, after
 which the entire party was taken to
 Summerville, a charming resort some miles from the city, where day or two will be spent amid the southern pines,
 The day was the chief event of Presi-
 dent Roosevelt's visit to this city, and
 never before has such a crowd thronged the streets The enthusiasm of the peo- pie was unbounded. and there was standing room only on the sidewalks and porches and doorways and in the wide piazzas of the houses along the line of march.
 The parade started from the St. John hotel, the presidents quarters, at ten o'clock and was composed of marines, seamen, cadets, artilIeries and militia men of four states, under the command of Colonel Charles Morris, IT. S. A., of the garrison at Sulivan's Island.
 The men were in excellent trim and the weather was ideal, with just enough crispness in the air to make the march ing comfortable. The route was through Queen, Meeting, Calhoun, Rutledge and Grove streets to the exposition grounds, and almost one hundred times the pres ident stood in his carriage and acknowl- edged with a smile and bow the enthu- siastic plaudits of the people. Passing a tally-ho containing some of Charles 
 college colors, he was greeted with the college yell and evidently was very much pleased.
 After the parade the president went into the auditorium and bowed and smiled his acknowledgements to the cheering which greeted him from 10000 people The audience heard each speak CT at the exercises which followed with the utmost attention. and cheered to the echo many of the sentiments ex- pressed while President Roosevelt's ir- cisive, clear cut words never fell on more appreciative ears. There was much in what he said, but more in his of saying. He greeted his au- dience as Americans and while giv ing all credit to the south and South 1 Carolina for her part in the history of the country, he made it plain that there | must be enterprise and industry, con tinued and unceasing, if success and ! achievements were to be had in the i future that would be comparable to the | past.
 Referring to the important national | affairs of the day, he said:
 "The mere fact that our administra- ton in the island (Cuba) has minimized | the danger from the dreadful scourge If yellow fever, alike to Cuba and to f is sufficient to emphasize the of interest between us. But there are other interests which bind us ogether Cubas position makes it nec- assary that her political relations with IS should differ from her political re- ations with other powers. This fact 1as been formulated by us and accept d by the Cubans in the Platt amend nents. It follows as a corolary that where the Cubans have thus assumed position of peculiar relationship to our political system they must similarly tand in peculiar relationship to our system.
 We have riehtfuly insisted upon Tuba adopting towards us an attitude iffering politically from that she adopts owards any other power; and in re- urn as matter of right we must give 0 Cuba dfferent-that is, a better osition economically in her rela ,ith us than we give to other powers, his Is the course dictated by sound olcy, by wise and far-sighted view , f our own interest, and by the position |
