NILES OF CHEERING HUMANITY.
Troop of COlorcd Cavalry Lead the
Guard of Honor - Grand Ban
quet mt the Palace Hotel
Ends the Day.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-IIear-
tier greeting was never given presi-
dent of the United States than that Of
fered by the city of San Francisco to
Theodore Roosevelt. Through miles
and miles of densely packed, cheering.
patriotically enthused humanity the
nations chief passed, bowling his ac-
Acknowledgements, evidently wearled by
maintaining an erect position in his
carriage, but buoyed up by the Impress
iveness of the demonstration. 1t was
a magnificent ovation.
The presidential train, drawn by n
handsomely decorated locomotive, ar
rived promptly on time. A large gath
ering of federal, state and city officials
army and navy officers, foreign consuls
and distinguished citizens was in wait
ing to welcome the chief magistrate.
Mayor Schmitz stepped aboard the
rear car and formally greeted Mr..
Roosevelt, the president making n
brief response.
Before entering bis carriage Mr..
Roosevelt stepped up to the locomotive
and warmly shook hands with Engi-
neer McGrail and Fireman Everly,
who had piloted him safely from the
south. In the parade the line was
headed by troop of colored cavalry,
this being the first instance in the
west where negro soldiers have held
the position of honor in a public pro-
cession. Following the president came
United States troops from the local
posts, sailors and marines from war
ships in the harbor and at Mare island
and regiments of the state militia.
After reviewing the parade the presi
dent was escorted to the Y. NJ c. A
building, where a throng had assem-
bled to participate in the burning OF
mortgages and notes representing the
total indebtedness of S115,2S0 upon the
property. The president by request
touched a lighted match to the docu
ments, and as the flames licked up the
papers he joined with the assemblage
in singing "The Doxology." The presi
dent then made short address.
The president was banqueted at night
at the Palace hotel by the citizens com
mittee.
At the Hotel Del Monte President
Roosevelt spent one of the most restful
Sundays he has had since his trip be-
gan. In the afternoon he attended st
Johns chapel on the hotel grounds.
On Monday the president arrived AT
Santa Cruz and from there visited the
giant trees of California. Luncheon
was served by twenty of Santa Cruz's
prettiest young ladies. The Pioneers
society presented the president with a
silver plate, and tree was dedicated
to him.

RICHARD HENRY sToDoARD.
Last of American Poets of the Old
school Is Dead.

NEW YORK. May 49, Richard Hen
~ Stoddard, the last member of the
"old guard of American poets" is dead
nt his home. 800 East Fifteenth street.
from rheumatism of the heart inciden-
tal to advanced age.
Mr.. Stoddard had been i'll for some
time, and it is believed that his death
was FASTENED by grief as the result of
the recent death of his wife and his
son, Lorimer Stoddard.
The last literary work upon which
Mr.. Stoddard was engaged was in con-
nection with his "Recollections Person
al and Literary" volume of memoirs
covering Il period of more than fifty
years and affording glimpse of many
of the foremost writer's of the past
half century, including Hawthorne,
Edgar Allen Poe and Th6ckeray. This
work will he issued probably in the au-
tumn.
1t is expected that the funeral cere-
mony will be on Friday morning. and
interment will be at Sag Harbor, where
the late Mrs. Stoddard and Lorimer
Mr.. Stoddard was Americas Oldest
poet and New York's most interesting
figure in literature. He had been writ
ing for over half a century, the field of
his literary career extending over a
period that embraces all that Is worth
mentioning in American literature. Up
to quite recently he continued his work
of literary criticism.
In recent years Mr.. Stoddard had
been doubly afflicted. The loss of his
wife was a sad blow to him, and an
aflliction of the eyes almost caused
blindness.
Mrs. Stoddard, herself writer, died
on Aug. l. 1902. after being watched
and cared for to the end by the aged
poet, who was then familiarly called
the white haired minstrel of New
York" She died in the house, 800 East
Fifteenth street, that had been their
home for a quarter of century. The
time was exactly four months from
their golden wedding anniversary.
Mrs. Stoddard was Elizabeth Drew
Barstow, born in Mattapolsett, Mass.
May 6, 1923. She wrote fiction.
Richard Henry Stoddard was borr
at bingham, Mass, In 1925. In the
town records the history of the family
goes back to 1858. His immediate an
cestors were seafaring men. He came
to New York in early life, and the sto
ry of his struggles against poverty ant
to gain an education is full of interest
Success came at last, and he became
one of the foremost literary figures ir
America.

BRITISH CAPTURE sokoTo.
rsIanis Charged the square with
Fanaticnl Bravery.

LONDON, May 13.-Interesting de-
tails have been received here of the
capture of Sokoto, in west Africa, by
the British column commanded by
Colonel Morland. The British num-
bered about 500 men, with four quick
firing guns and four Maxims. The en-
emy's horse and foot were estimated TO
number some 5000 men, their riiemen
being armed with modern rifles and
using smokeless powder.
The British camped during the night
near Sokoto after hard march of a
hundred miles from Kaura, with but
little water and having passed through
a difficult country. At daybreak the
British moved out in square formation
toward the valley in which Sokoto lies.
Immediately after the British appeared
over ridge the Fulanis charged with
fanatical bravery, undeterred by a
whitening Maxim and rife fire. They
had no proper leadership, but the iso-
lated bands continued to advance over
heaps of dead and dying, often only in
dividuals reaching within yard of the
square, where, refusing quarter, they
were shot down while shouting "Al-
lah!" with their last breath.
The main body of the natives was
finally routed, leaving remnant of
about thirty chiefs around the emir's
great white flag. These chiefs were de-
fiant to the last, and their corpses were
found hedging the standard when the
British entered the city, which consist
ed mostly of thatched houses. Its semi
ruined walls extended seven miles
round the place and were pierced by
eight gates. A few days later the popu-
lace returned, and the Fulanis tenderSd
their submission to Commissioner Ll,-
gard, who installed new emir. The
British then retired toward the coast,
leaving a garrison of two companies of
infantry.

stroyed by fire. Nothing remains but a
mass of charred timbers. 1t was only
through quick and hard work that the
bridge over the Clarendon mill canal
was saved. The fire was discovered on
the roof Of the station and was sup
posed to be set by sparks from pass
ing engine. The new American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company's wires
opposite the building were put out of

Not to Repeat Roosevelt Accident.

PITTSFIELD, Mass, May 13.-The
police Of this city served summonses
upon the officials of the Pittsfeld Elec-
tric Street Railway company to an
swer to the charge of violating the city
ordinances regulating the speed of
street cars. This action by the police is
indirectly the result of the accident to
President Roosevelt and party last Sep
tember, when the presidents carriage
was struck by one of the company's s
cars and Secret Service Agent Craig
was killed. The complaints are the re-
suit of the watchfulness of various citi-
zens resulting from the accident to the
president who say that they have
timed the cars and found that they
were being run at an excessive speed.

CAPTAIN PERsHINo's COLUMN.
Moros of Tnraca Thoroughly Sub
dued.

MANILA, May 11.-Captain Pershing
and his column have returned to Camp
Wears, Mindanao, from the expedition
through the country east of Lake La
mao. The column experienced no Oppo-
sition after the fighting at Taraca. The
prisoners captured at Taraca took the
oath of allegiance to the United States
and were released.
Among the MoPos killed in the Tara
ca forts were nine dattos and one sui
tan. The moral effect of this fight will
be far reaching, and it is doubtful If
there will be any further hostility in
the Lake Lanao country. Captain Per-
shing estimates the population of Ia
raca at 10000 and that of the district
Mt 100000. He says the population of
the Lake Lanao district has been un-
derestimated.
-Four natives have been found guilty
of the murder of three American ma
rines at Olangapo, Subig bay. last Sep
tember and have been sentenced to
death.
The ladrone situation seems to have
materially improved. In Albay prov
ince it is still unsatisfactory, but the
other districts which recently have
been disturbed are quieter.
