tonight to hear President Roosevelt.
The day has been a trying n for
the entire party, the win was blowing
the entire day, and at Lincoln a smart
ain storm greeted the president on
his arrival. The dust and sand which
blew across the priaries added another
unpleasant feature to h journey,
which was a circuitOuS route.
Much preparation had been made in
this city for the presidents coming
and he was greeted by probably fifty
thousand people who lined the streets
on both sides for a mile and a half
along the route of the carriage drive.
Elaborate decorations of hunting and
flags were hung from every building,
and from every flagstaff in the city
Old Glory f1oated proudly.
The military escort was a large one,
headed by a platoon Of police.
The entire route was lined with
thousands of people, who gave the pres
ident a most hearty welcome. The
drive ended at the Omaha club, where
a banquet was given.
After the banquet the president and
his party were escorted to the CO.
liseum. Thousands again turned out
to cheer the president.

That Manila harbor or any other
harbor in the insular possessions is not

defense, is because congress has not so

General O'Rilly. surgeon general,
says:
The bad effect of the climate on the
health of the army is a simple fact. ]
think we must consider these sick rates
as Part of the price of of the
islands n not expect any very great
diminution for the future. There should
be some improvement when the troops
are taken out of the native villages and
comfortably settled in permanent bar
racks.
THE prevalence of alcoholism in the
army as shown by the sick report is
much greater in the United States thar
in the islands. The last annual report
of the surgeon general showed the is
land rate to be only tow-thirds of the
army rate at home"

Los Angeles, CAL, May 23.-The har-
mony that has prevailed since the
opening of the Presbyterian General
Assembly received a slight shock to-
day. Although the shock was. of but
momentary duration, it nevertheless
caused the only commotion that has
stirred the body since the sessions be-
gan.
After disposition had been made of
the business of the session, Rev. F. x.
Stanley of Atlantic City, N. j., intro
duced a resolution that this message be
sent President Roosevelt:

See Numbers 6, "a. 26."
Mr.. Stanley had scarcely finished his
resolution, when a commissioner in the
center of the house arose and said:
"Mr. Moderator, / move that this
resolution be referred to the Committee
on Correspondence"
A second to this motion was made
Immediately.
from all parts of the house.
Moderator Coyle hesitated for a mo-
ment, and then remarked:
II do not think that this would be
the proper disposition of this resolu-
ton"
Before he could proceed further he
was interrupted by calls of Vote,
votel"
Moderator Coyle raped vigorously
with his gavel and said:
"All those in favor of sending this
resolution to the Committee on Core
spondence will say Aye"
There was a faint response by per-
haps a score of commissioners, which
a moment later was made to seem
insignificant by the volume of Noes "
The resolution is lost" said Mod
orator Coyle, striking his gavel upon
his desk.
There was burst of applause from
the commissioners and galleries. It
was quickly moved and seconded that
the resolution made by Mr.. Stanley
be adopted. which was done by an
unanimous vote.

VANDERBILT'S MARRIAGE
Is Still a Matter of Public Concern
in London.

London. May 23.-In a letter to the
Times, occupying three columns, DIR.
Tristan, chancellor of the London do
cese, to-day defends his action in
granting the Vanderbilt Rutherford
marriage license by law and custom.
DR.. Tristan contends that he was
obliged to grant Mr.. Vanderbilts ap-
plication.
The chancellor's answer to the Bishop
of London's severe criticism forms the
text for a lengthy editorial in the
Times which says Dr. Tristram's ar
gument opens up an important contro-
versy between church and state. The
Times maintains that Rev. r. H. Had
den's act in marrying Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Rutherfurd was due solely
to an error of judgment. which it hopes
viii not be copied by others of the
English clergy. and deprecates the
heavy moral censure which seemed to
be implied by the Bishop of London's
language" The editorial continues:

their attitude towards Mrs. Mcbride

burned while trying to save fellow
workman's tools during the fire at the
Seaboard Air Line shops last night,

boards loss by the fire is 100000 to
$175,O0O. fully covered by insurance.
The burned buildings will be rebuilt,
Temporary buildings in which to carry,
on the business of the company will be
erected at once.

ton among the paints that were stored
in the shed where the flames were dis
covered by Waterman Saunders.

wrecking sheds, where the fire origi-
mated; the stationery warehouse, the
paint shops, office building of the super
intendent of wood work; large brick
structure. in which were located the
carpenters and cabinet makers shops,
and shop in which the painting and
finishing of the passenger coaches
was done. A small blacksmith shop,
pipe filters and tin shop, a large guam
tity of lumber and yard trackage,
eighteen freight and passenger cars
were also destroyed.
The department which were not de-
stroyed were the machine shops, main
blacksmith shop, moulding department,
general Offices, power house, oil house,
library and round house.
