Elaborate on His Way.


Spokane, May 26.-Tuesday Theo
dore Roosevelt, president Of the United
States, visited Spokane. For three
hours and a half he was the guest OF
the city of Spokane and Of the Inland
Empire. During thai time he greeted
and spoke to many thousands Of the
people through the most attractive
sections Of the city, drove three times
across the Spokane river at different
points around the falls, turned the sod
for the s. A. A. G. building, and per-
formed the same service for the new
Masonic temple, addressed 5000 school
children in Occur d'Alene park, took a
birds-eye view Of the city from the
heights OF. Seventh and Eighth avenue,
drove at the head of the parade down
Riverside avenue, decorated as never
before, and addressed as many thou
sands of people as can come within
reach of his voice. The president then
returned to his private car and pro-
ceeded on his way to Helena. In the
evening the city enjoyed the flare and
noise of the most elaborate fireworks

FATAL ACCIDENT At SPOKANE.
Julia Porack Of sprasue Run Over by
Train

Train.
Spokane, May 27.-Julia Porack
aged 20 years, daughter of Rudolph
Porack, pioneer brewer of Sprague,
was run over and killed about 1880
tuesday night at the Northern Pacific
depot by train No. 8. from the east.
She fell beneath the wheels and her
head was cut off. Death was instan-
taneous. The remains were removed
to Smiths morgue. DR.. D. l.. Smith,
the corner, said at midnight that prob
ably no inquest would be held as he
believed 1t was clearly an accident.
Miss Porack was one of large par
ty OF young people from Sprague, who
came here to SEE Roosevelt. Her
escort was Nat Garten, aged about
20 years, who is employed in a
Sprague dry goods store. They were
in the crowd on the depot platform
waiting to go home on train No. 3.
AS the train pulled slowly in front
of the depot the crowd surged for
ward. Miss Porack was presumably
forced so far forward that she was
struck by the cylinder head Of the
engine, thrown from her balance and
under the wheels. Her neck and right
hand fell squarely on the rail- The
wheels decapitated her and crushed
the hand off at the knuckles.

War Cloud Over China.
German OFFICER Got Four Years,

Berlin, May 28.-The attention of
Germany was centered on the public
courtmartial of Ensign Hussner, who
was tried at Kiel before five judges
and sentenced to four years and one
weeks imprisonment and to degrade
ton for the killing of Artilleryman
Hartman, at Essen, on Good Friday.
The ensigns excuse was that Hartman
had not saluted him properly. Huss-
ner's replies to the president of the
court were straightforward. He said
that while regretting that his sword
strokes killed the artilleryman, he af-
f1rmed that he acted within the SER
vice instructions, and that he was
obliged by honor to compel obedience.

v. 8. CONSUL AT CANTON CALLED
FOR AID.
Condition in kwang 81 and Other
Places Is DepIorabIe and Much Suf-
fering Goes on-Parents Selling
Their Children for Sc to s. Each
Few Buyers-Eat Herbs and Leaves.

United States Consul McWade at
Canton, under date of April Z, sent to
the state department detailed report
Of the famine conditions in Kwang 81
in support of his cabled appeal for
help. He produced mass of informa-
ton. which he declares to be reliable,
from American missionary and naval
sources in Kai Kwan Ping, WI Mhow
and other places showing the destitu-
ton and the consequent suffering,
which the consul general says is alb
solutely appalling.
He says that thousands in their des-
peration were selling their children
for from 81 to IS each, yet so many
were offered and so few purchasers
that not all could be sold at even this
price. Mr.. McWade says that so heart
rending were the appeals for assist
ance that he had contributed far be-
yond his means and would have given
more had he had the money.
When the report was written the
famine was increasing greatly in Sc
verify and thousands were starving

from starvation and he said that I'M

PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT,

hind the Bars.

hind the Bars.
President Theodore Roosevelt would
probably have been lying dead or des-
perateiy wounded, ruthlessly shot
down by an anarchist hand, had not
clever work of the local police force
frustrated the alleged plot.
Joseph Barker, a radical socialist,
with no home, lies behind the bars at
the county Jail. He was located and
captured at noon, four hours before
President Roosevelt and party enter
ed Walla Walla from the west.
Barker was found in the butcher
shop Of Chris Ennis, where he was
working He claims to be butcher
and came here from Pendleton, Ore,
where he formerly worked at this
trade.
The alleged plot to kill the chief
executive originated in Pendleton a
few days ago, where Barker was in the
employ of Pat Kline, butcher Kline
followed Barker to Walla Walla on the
strength of a remark Barker made
last week that he "had one bullet for
President Roosevelt and one for EN-
peror William" When Barker left,
carrying A rife on his shoulder and
headed for Walla Walla. Kline grew
alarmed. He came here and notified
the local police.
Three officers, with Kline, started a
search, finally locating Barker, who
was sharpening big knife, in the
butcher shop. He was arrested and
sweated. He soon confessed the loca-
ton of his rifle, which he had cached
at farmers barn, point of vantage
along the route of the parade where
President Roosevelt was expected to
pass. The episode was kept very quiet
until President Roosevelt left town.
The public did not hear of the affair.
Barker is Swiss. He is small and
OF light complexion. He says little
and is sullen.

was driven out Of town. He claimed
the Lord had called on him to kill the

an almost worshiping host; but it was
more inspiring; because it was the tri-
butte OF free people to hero of war,
and statesman of peace.
Spokane's welcome to Roosevelt will
be remembered for years by those who
participated in it, however humble the
part they played-from the lusty shout
er on the curbstone to the gentleman
in silk tile who was fortunate enough
to secure place in the parade. 1t was
a pageant such as the Inland Empire
has never seen before, and which it
will not see soon again.
Estimates are that from $4,000 to
$4,000 people saw President Roosevelt
deliver his address. Probably not to
exceed one third that number heard his
address. At the intersection Of Lincoln
street and Main avenue in front of the
speakers stand, thousands were mass.
ed as tightly as they could stand Far
out on the haymarket, on Main avenue
on the steps of the Vincent church and
from every direction about the stand
hundreds more gathered On the basis
of one person to every square foot it is
! estimated that the crowd around the
grand stand numbered easily from 25,.
900 to 10000.
Thousands made no effort to hear
the address, preferring to line the route
of the final drive to the Northern Pa.
cif1c depot to catch farewell glimpse
of the president rather than to join the
pushing, perspiring mass in front OF
the speaker. Probably 5000 persons
gathered near the depot to witness the
departure.
Conservative estimates place the
number of visitors in the city yester.
day at 10000.
The fireworks display, that formed
a fitting close to a most brilliant day
for Spokane. began at O'Clock, and to
say that it was the finest ever seen in
this city would express the consensus
of opinion Of the spectators, but would
be mild praise.

Strengthen Asiatic Fleet.

OF course there is no Significance

sells composing the European squad
ron, the Albany, the Cincinnati and the
Raleigh, and their assignment to the
Asiatic fleet, according to officials in
the state and navy departments.
There is never any significance in the
strengthening of any fleet in Asiatic
or European waters If the powers di-
recting this strengthening of our
squadrons in foreign waters are to be
believed, but the fact remains that the
biggest squadron ever assembled off
the coast OF China is already an &C.
complished fact.
The assignment of the three cruisers
above named is taken to mean that
the European squadron will not go to
Kiel to attend the maneuvers of the
German navy. In fact it is stated at
the navy department that no orders
have been issued for the European
squadron to assemble at Kiel, and &C
cording to those in position to know
such action is not contemplated by
Secretary Moody.
War Cloud Over China.
The war cloud IS lowering over
China, and it has been thought the
part OF wisdom to assemble a cruiser
squadron in Philippine waters with
battleships enough, monitors and gun
boats, to compel the respect of any ma
ton contemplating a descent upon
China.
