THE PRESIDENT
Makes Flying Visits to Big
Minnesota Cities.
Powerful Speech on Cuban Reciprocity,
Tariff, ETC., at Minneapolis.
Greeted by the Usual Immense and Ap.
preciative Crowds.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 5.-President
Roosevelt spent but three hours in this
city, Saturday, before being whisked
over to Minneapolis in President Low
rvs private electric car for an equally
strenuous period in that city.
The special arrived one minute ahead
Of schedule time at 2.29 P. NJ, after an
eventful run from Winona, where a
large crowd had greeted him. On the
run up a few minutes We're given to
the people al Lake City, whose cheers
brought out a hearty expression of
thanks from the President.
As the train pulled through the yards
of the Union depot, Battery A of the
Minnesota National Guard, stationed
on the opposite side of the river, boom
ed out the Presidential salute.
A committee, headed by Gov. Van
SAINT Mayor V. A. Smith, George
Thompson, Pres. Theodore F. Smith of
the Commercial Club, and Brig. Gen.
kobbe, United States army, briefly well
coined the Presidential party They
were taken for carriage ridge through
the business streets, which had been
handsomely decorated
The Grand Army veterans led the
procession and Immediately after the
President came the original Roosevelt
Campaign Club, while the rest of the
procession included the local companies
Of the Minnesota National Guard, near
y all of them Spanish war veterans
md the 21st Infantry, United States
lrmy, from Fort Smelling
AT the capitol the house and senate
N joint session received the President
with cheers, thrice repeated
Previous to his arrival, Archbishop
ireland had delivered a brief and elo-
quent prayer for the prosperity Of the
nation and it's Chief Executive. and as
soon as the legislators We're seated af-
ter greeting the President, Speaker
Babcock introduced him.
President Roosevelt spoke at some
length on his well-known views as to
good citizenship.
In the executive chamber a brief re-
ception was held, the President meet
ing many of the state officers, leaders
Of the legislature and others. A large
platform had been erected at the east
entrance to the capitol, where a crowd
Of many thousands held their places
for more than two hours before the
arrival of the President.
Gov. Van SAINT introduced the Presi-
dent almost Immediately after his APP
pearance on the stand, although nearly
five minutes elapsed before the cheer
ing that greeted the appearance of the
Presidents well-known figure and feat
ures had subsidized.
From the capitol the carriages were
resumed and the party was driven
through small part of the residence
section, lack of time limiting the drive.
Special electric cars We're in waiting
and the party was taken through the
residence section that connects ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, to the Nicollet hotel

ANOTHER STORY
Which Does Not Differ from Other Re-
ports of the Case.

Bangor, Me-, April AIRS. Nellie
Melvine of Blaine, is dead as the re-
suit of a bullet wound, and before she
died she accused her husband, Charles
F. Melvine, of having murdered her in
cold blood. The tragedy occurred,
Thursday night, but nothing was
known concerning it until Friday
morning, when neighbors entering the
Melvine house found Mrs. Melvine on
the floor unconscious, and dying from
a great bullet wound in her side.
The woman was revived, and told a
remarkable story of brutality She says
she was sitting by the fire when her
husband asked her to go somewhere
with him. She replied that she would
in little while. when she got her feet
warm. He went into an adjoining
room. she said, and returned with a 40
caliber revolver. Damn you, / will

member" he said, and then fired. The
heavy bullet struck her in the abdomen
and passed entirely through her body.
Physicians were summoned, but could
not save her. and she died at 10 o'clock,
Saturday forenoon.
The Melvines lived in a small house
about five miles outside the village of
Blaine and near the Canadian border
line, and 1t is believed that Melvine has

with some caution and with the expec-
tation that fight will ensue if the
murderer is caught. Melvine is about
go years old, weighs about $50 pounds,
has a light moustache and is of light
sunburned complexion. A warrant was
issued by Trial Justice John M. Ram
say. yesterday, charging Melvine with
murderous assault, as at that time the
woman was still alive.
The officers who are in pursuit of
Melvine are armed with rifles. Mel
vine has two 45-caliber revolvers. 1t is
believed that he will be apprehended
by the Canadian officials later and
brought to Blaine through extradition
proceedings.
The coroner's jury, tonight, returned
a verdict that Melvine murdered his
wife with wilful and felonious intent.
At O'Clock tonight, no report had
been received of Melvine's capture.
The principal witnesses at the in
quest were George A. Brown, at whose
house the tragedy occurred, and his
two children, who saw the alleged
shooting. AS far as known, Melvine
was not intoxicated. He was known,
however. to be jealous of his wife.
Drs. Kincaid and MoCrea testified
that the bullet entered the woman's
body between the 10th and 18th ribs,
and passed through the intestines and
liver, but they were unable to find the
bullet at the examination before death.
At the post-mortem examination they
found the bullet lodged in the liver. A
section with the bullet imbedded was
removed and preserved.
