PRESTDENTAND THE FAIR.
May Not See His Way to Attend at Any
 Time.

Washington, March 17.-President Roosevelt will not attend the formal opening of the Louisiana Purchase ex- position. When President Francis, of the exposition company, was in Wash ipgton recently he presented to the president and to members of the cab- inet an urgent invitation to attend the opening exercises of the fair, express ing the hope that the president not only would make it convenient to be present, but also participate in the ceremonies. The president then said that he prob ably would not be able to go to St. Louis at that time, and since then has so decided.
 It is doubtful, indeed. whether the president will visit the fair at all. At the present time he does not see his way clear to be among the fairs visit ors during it's progress.

firms previous accounts of damage done to Port Arthur during the bombardment of the 10th, but says the story of agreat fire in Port Arthur is "a base fabrica- tion.''
 The United States cruiser Cincinnati, just arrived from Chemupo, reports ev- erything quiet with no news from the front. At the request of Minister Allen the cruiser brought two former Corean officers who had left Corea in conse- quence of their friendship to Russia.
 Port Arthur. March 17.--All is quiet here. Military bands play twice a week in the public square.
 New Chwang, March r. General Linevitch. who was accompanied by General Kondratonovitch after sur vey yesterday of New Chwang and it's defences. which had been prepared for his inspection. has returned to his command at. Liao Yang. He also visit ed Kai Chou and points affecting the protection of the general coast and the holding os the weak zone along the main line of the railroad opposite New Chwang. Although disclaiming any apprehension of the Japanese landing here. the authorities are satisfied to have foreigners understand that the Russians are prepared for any local emergency and the arrival of an addi- tional battery of artillery and also 15C scouts to-day is significant of coming events.
 It is apparent that both civil and mil itary strategists and; the diplomats at Mukden apprehend a collision with the Chinese. probably, fearing that the in- creasing number of tfieir small bands of scouts operating between the Liao river and the Great Wall are the surest in- Estruments for their entanglement in a conflict, particularly as this zone is in the nature of no-man s-land on ac- count of having been abandoned by the powers and also because the Chinese ju- risdiction is incompetent. Russians able to judge profess to regard General Mas attitude as dangerous to the peace of Russia and China.
