 The feeling of international friendliness was first touched upon by President Francis of the exposition. when raising glass of champagne, he proposed the following toast:
 ''I am sure I express the sentiment of the commissioners and the guests assem- bled when I ask that we be permitted to drink to the long life and prosperity of the Emperor of China and the Dowager Empress |,
 The toast was responded to by Prince Pu Lun. imperial Chinese Commissioner. who said that he most deeply appre-, ciated the sentiment which had prompt ed the toast and asked that all present drink to the health of the President of the United States. The toasts were fol- lowed by brief speeches by Prince Lun and Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng. Chinese Minister at Washington, In which they expressed the sentiment that the exposi- tion would bring the United States and China Into closer relations as nations
 President Francis followed by brief address in which he said that China was one of the first nations to respond to the invitation of the United States Govern ment and that from the beginning the work of preparations had been rushed with all speed to completion.
 Many Chinese dignitaries were present at the dedecation. but interest cente-ed especially on Prince Lun and Sir Chen Tung Lang Cheng.

CHARGES AGAINST JAILoR AT
 PENSACOLA.
Woman Swears Van Pelt Knocked Her Down With Brass Knucks
 and Left Her in Pool SA of Blood.

Pensacola, Fla. May 6.-(Special)--l Constituting itself into an inquiry court. the Board of County Commissions CTS, following resolution adopted last night. convened in special session today to hear allegations Of a serious nature against Will VanPelt. keeper of the county jail. and to investigate reported fearful conditions obtaining at that in- stitution. The Board secured it's cue from a letter written by Mrs. A. r.. Parker. a white woman, who maintains that Iailer VanPelt had abused her shamefully, knocking her down with brass knucks and allowing her to lie in pool of blood two hours. She fur ther alleged and swore that she had petitioned the sheriff, who was respon- sible for the jailer's actions, for phy- sician, and had not been accorded that regiment She further maintained that she had been confined in a dungeon for nine hours without food and water.
 Some of these statements were cor roborated by witnesses who had been in the jail at the time, and the hearing has created sensation. In case the Board finds grounds for such action. the members will take up the matter with the Governor. This presents a very delicate question since the nom- mating primary is about three days off. The reading of Mrs. Parkers letter. filled with shocking details, created a sensation late this afternoon.
 VanPelt is candidate for nomina- ton in the primaries of Tuesday, and in some quarters the investigation to- day is regarded as a political move to work to his disadvantage.
