ROOSEVELT WILL MAKE
TWO HUNDRED SPEECHES.
PRESIDENT MAPPED OUT FOR HIS
COMING WESTERN

WASHINGTON, March 26. - A
smaller number of people will accom-
pany President Roosevelt on his
forthcoming western trip than were
with him on the September trip, or
the trips through New England and
the south which preceded it.
1t is the purpose of the president
to be alone in Yellowstone park, the
correspondents and the press associ-
alton representatives together with
the photographers. remaining at Gin
nebar. and entering the park, if at
all. merely to look around and not
for work.
Secretary Root had intended to ac-
company the party as far as the yell
lowstone, but at a late moment con-
cluded that he would not go. John
Burroughs will take his place as the
presidents companion in the tramps
and rides through the park.
The speeches to be made during
the trip will be of high Importance,
for they will be a comment on the
work of the Fifty-seventh congress,
and a forecast of what the admins
tration will undertake to secure in
the way of legislation in the Fifty
eighth congress. Much attention will
be given the trust question. The
president will tell about the legisla-
ton enacted. last winter. what it will

accomplish, and how he hopes to sup
plement it as the needs of the situa-
ton may require. He will also have
something to say about the tariff, but
just what Is not known.
In all, the president will make

he has undertaken a big thing. No
other president has ever mapped out
such a trip as the one which will be-
gin April / and end June 5. When it
is ended the president will have COW
cred the entire middle west, the
southwest and the far west. Last
year he went through New England
and the south and a portion of the
northern part of the middle west.
Every section of the country will
have seen him a year and longer in
advance of the nominating conven-
lions of 1904.
The special train will be in charge
of Secretary Loeb who will make his
initial bow to the country at large
in his new office. Secretary Cor
telyou, as soon as he became secre-
tary of commerce and labor, turned
over all plans for the trip to Mr..
Loeb, who has since been busy work
ing out the many difficult and an
moving details

CAMILLE At
Till SPOKANE
Nance O'NeiI's Interpre.
tatiOn of Dumas Fam
Gus Heroine.
1.-THE JEWESS" TONIGHT

For many years Dumas famous
play, Camille" has been the test of
all actresses who aspire to fame. Ca
Hamlet Is to the aspiring tragedian.
1t is the standard, the open sesame
to greater things.
Last night at the Spokane theater
Miss Nance O'Neil gave her interpre
tation of the great Frenchman's grief
stricken heroine. To be candid, there
is no reason why Miss O'Neil should
play this role. 1t is i'll suited to her.
Her splendid physique and vigorous
nature rise above this child of woe,
despite her efforts to subdue them.
She is not the kind of woman
one can be led to believe would bow
down in AFFECT despair before a
crazed lover. She is out of place
groveling at the feet of Armand Du-
val-she should dominate, not be
dominated.
Miss O'Neil as Magda, as Elizabeth,
is the ruling spirit. One can. after
her as powerful Lady Macbeth, for
instance. but, Camille, the self-sacri-
ficing; Camille, the self -abased--it is
stretch of the imagination.
Yet few actresses have played the
pathetic scene with the elder Duval
better. There is a despairing abandon
in this Candles suffering that
reaches the heart; an agony of long
ing in her farewell scene with Ar
mand that carries the actress away
from the footlights and places her
for the time being in the ranks of
martyred womanhood.
Il. J, Radcliffe again renders SPLEEN
did support as Armand Duvai A
trifle over sentimental in the earlier
love scenes, perhaps, he gives a virile
performance in the ballroom scene.
Mrs. Charles w. Brooke is clever
as Madame Prudence. and Miss Agnes
Rankin is a Nichette for whom any
Gustave should be willing to make a
sacrifice.
This afternoon Miss O'Neil gave an
Ibsen matinee. presenting that weird
picture Of Norwegian life. "Hedda
Gabler."' Her engagement closes to-
night with The Jewess."

urday matinee, which fingers pleas
antly in the memory, is the pleasing
work of the Clipper quartet, four
very clever men who have sung them
selves into fame and fortune and who
have for years stood at the head of
high class minstrel attractions.
The Clipper quartet will be seen
in their original sketch of southern
life entitled "Uncle Eph's Dream
Replete with plaintive plantation
melodies and pleasing bits of comedy
this act has gained for the quartet
a reputation co-eXtensive with the
country.

Duke of Cambridge
Eighty=four Years Old.

Last year. during King Edwards i'll
ness, the venerable duke took over
much Of the work of meeting and
entertaining the foreign representa-
tives who had come to London for
the coronation.
His career has been altogether mil
itary. He has held his title for more
than so years, during all which time
he has been member of the house
of lords. The duke of Richmond and
Gordon is the only other duke who
has been in the upper house for more
than 40 years.
Indeed, the duke of Richmond and
the duke of Norfolk are the only
dukes who have sat in the house of
lords for as many as 80 years.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-03-26

Cambridge, who today reached his
eighty-fourth year, is the first MEM
Der of the British royal family, at
least in modern times, to attain that
age.
Queen Victoria, the duchess of
Gloucester and George Ill all reach
ed the four-score mark, but died soon
after. The only other member of the
royal family who lived to be an octo-
genarian was the first duke OF Cum
berland, who succeeded William ~.
as king of Hanover. He died in his
eighty-first year.
Few men of his years in the United
Kingdom are more vigorous and ac-
tive than the duke Of Cambridge.

WASHINGTON, May 9-The Washington
Post to-day discusses the Worlds Fair
from a new viewpoint-the significance OF
its location, west of the Mississippi The
Post says:
1.-THE first international exposition held in
the United States was located in Philadel-
phia, almost literally on the seacoast.
For the second exposition the Eastern
people followed the trail of their pioneer
ancestors and crossed the Alleghanies to
reach Chicago.
"The third great fair is now to occur west
of the Mississippi. in which fact there is a
deeper significance than has yet been re-
alized. Certainly it has not been forcibly
brought to public attention.
I'VE do not mean to emphasize, Of course,
that the transfer to St. Louis Of the scenes
of exposition activity indicates the west
ward trend of events. That goes without
Gullest mind. What Is far more important
is that the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
will be an agency of tremendous force In
knitting together the American Republic
The nation will never divide into the North
and the South.
That attempted division was settled long
since by fire and blood. The question
whether the United States will ever sepa-
rate into an eastern and n western republic
has. however, never been settled. 1t is not
a wild or foolish subject for considera ton.
I'm the great West there is a rapidly In
creastng population which knows, not the
East. which has no ties to bind It to that
section except memory and tradition. Years
ago the pioneers returned to the East to
see the old homestead and to visit tn
