states. He will take the stump, and
follow a program arranged for him by
the national committee.
The secretary of the interior, Mr..
Hitchcock, is not a public speaker, and
will not personally participate in the
campaign.
Paul Morton, the new secretary of
the navy is a business man; not a pub

LOSS WILL TOTAL $4,000
Commissioners Explain Reason For
Comparatively Small Damage to
Missouri Building.

st. Louis, Nov. 21.-By a conserva-
tive estimate made by M. T. Davis,
president, and J.. H. Hawthorne, treas
urer, of the Missouri commission, the
actual loss to the commission by rea-
son of the fire which destroyed the
Missouri building at the Worlds fair
Saturday night is $4,000.
Ten thousand dollars is the esti-
mated loss on the furniture. carpets
and draperies, $4,000 on the fixtures
and machinery, and $4,000 on the
building itself.
Another source of qualification to the
commission is the fact that practically
all of the portraits of the governors,
judges and senators of the state, which
hung in state hall of the pavilion, have
been saved. The portraits were mixed
up with those from the art gallery
Saturday night, and in the excitement
it was thought that they were lost.
In estimating the loss at so small a
sum-, as compared with what was
thought to be the amount of the dam
age caused by the fire., Commissioner
Davis and Hawthorne figure that at
the most they could not have realized
more than $1,000 for the structure,
which cost $780, 600, while in its pres
ent condition the commission will be
forced to expend $1,000 for its removal
from its present site, thus making the
loss on the score of the pavilion ST.

soldiers from every branch of the serv-
i've were several companies of marines

from abroad who came to aid us one OF
the most prominent was the German,
Steuben. Muhlenberg was the first speak
er of the house of representatives; and
the battle which in the revolution saved
the valley of the Mohawk to the Amer.
lean cause was fought under the lead Of
the German, Herkimer. AS all the diff
ferent races here tend rapidly to fuse to-
gether, it is rarely possible after one or
two generations to draw a sharp line be-
tween the various elements; but there is
no student of our national conditions who
has failed to appreciate what an invalu-
able element in our composite STOCK the
German is. Here on this platform, Mr..
Ambassador, among those present to-day
are many men partly or wholly of German
blood, and among the officers of the army
and navy who have listened to you and
who now join with me in greeting you
there are many whose fathers or grand
fathers were born in Germany, and not
a few who themselves first saw the light
there.
I'm closing. let. me thank you, and
through you the German emperor and the
German people, for this statue. which I
accept in the name of the American peo-
pie; a people claiming blood kinship with
your own; a people owing much to Ger
many a. people which, though with a
national history far shorter than that of
your people, nevertheless, like your peo-
pie, is proud Of the great deeds Of its
past, n is confident In the majesty OF us
future. I most earnestly pray that In the
coming years these two great nations
shall move on toward their several des-
TIMES knit together by ties of the hearth

The statue, which is a personal gill
from the German emperor to the Unit

Prince Henry to this country two
years ago. When Prince Henry was
received in this country so magnificent
ly he noted repeated references to lis
distinguished ancestor, Frederick the
Great, and the evident regard OF the
American people for him. The work
is by Prof. Utheur, Germany's fore
most sculptor. European artists whp
have seer the statue have invariably
given it their unqualified praise as be-
ing a great work.
