CANAL WILL BE GUiLT.
So Says the President at jacksonville,
Florida.

Jacksonville, Fla.-The reception to
President Roosevelt Saturday was a
hearty one. Thousands thronged the
streets on the line of march and the
President showed in his manner his
appreciation of the good will that was
manifested on every side. In his ad-
dress he said
Here in Florida, the first of the
Gulf states which | have visited upon
this trip. L wish to say special word
about the Panama canal. l believe
that the canal will be of great benefit
TO all our people, but most of all to
the states of the South Atlantic, the
Gulf and the Pacific slope.
when completed the canal will
stand as monument 20 this nation;
for it will be the greatest engineering
feat ever accomplished in the world 1t
will be a good thing for the world as a
whole, and for the people of the 18TH
mus and the the northern portions of
South America in particular. Because
of our especial interest in it, and be-
cause of the position we occupy on this
hemisphere, it is a matter of special
pride to us that our nation, the Ameri-
can nation, should have undertaken the
performance of this world duty.
"a body of the most eminent engi-
neers in the world, both Americans
and foreigners, has been summoned to
advise as to the exact type of canal
which should be built. At no distant
date I hope to be able to announce
what their advice is, and also the ac-
ton taken upon their advice. Mean
while the work is already well under
way, and has advanced sufficiently far
to enable me to announce with GER
tainty that it can surely be accom-
plished, and probably at rather less ex-
pense than was anticipated.
But upon the last point, as well as
upon the question of time, no positive
statement can be made until the re-
port of the commission of engineers as
to the exact type of canal has been re-
ceived. The work is as difficult as it
is important; and it Is of course newt
able that from time to time difficulties
will occur and checks be encountered.
mo check that may come will be of
more than trivial and passing conse-
quences, will infiict any permanent
damage, or cause any serious delay.
The work can be done, is being done,
and will be done. What has already
been accomplished is a guaranty as to
the future.
"The veterans of the Civil War who
are here present will tell you that the
very rear of an army, even when it is
victorious, is apt to look and behave as
IL the victory were defeat. And just
the same'thing is true in any great en-
terprise in civil life; there are always
weaklings who get trampled down or
lose heart, and there are always peo-
pie who listen 10 their complaints.
They amount to nothing one way or
the other, so far as achieving results
is concerned; and their complaints
and outcries need never detain u.s.

ROOSEVELT AT MOBILE.
Overwhelmed With Pleasure :
Warmth of His Welcome.

Mobile. Ala.-That peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war was never better ex-
emplifed than in the reception
of President Roosevelt during
his two hours stay in Mobile Mon
day evening. There was a general
closing of the business houses and
along the route of the procession from
the union station to the stand on Bien-
vile Square. where the reception cere-
monies took place, the residences and
stores were covered with decorations
of lights and bunting in the national
colors.
The stand was erected on Bienville
street, facing the square. which long
before the President arrived, was filled
with struggling crowd of citizens. 1t
was brilliant with electric lights and
overhead the magnificent grove of live
oaks formed a canopy of green.
1t is estimated that by the time the
President began his address there was
crowd numbering 10000 people
within the sound of his voice.
He appeared to be overwhelmed
with pleasure at the spontaneity of his
welcome. His seat was on an elevated
dais in chair which was built by the
students of a technical school in
Japan.
Back of the chair was an enormous
stuffed bear eight feet tall bearing in
its mouth a floral independence bell
and above its head white dove hold
ing a streamer on which was the in
scription blessed is the Peacemaker.'
The bear was killed in a hunting ex-
pedition by Emperor Alexander III. OF
Russia, in 1857, according to the in
scription on bronze plate on the base
of the mounting.
Oliver j. Semmes. son of the Con
federate admiral Raphael Semmes, pre-
sented to the President and pinned
upon the lapel of his coat handsome
souvenir badge as the gift of the peo-
pie of Mobile.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he rose to speak. He thanked the peo-
pie Cor their magnificent reception and
spoke special words of greeting to the
Confederate veterans, who formed a
portion of his escort.
Referring to the Panama canal the
President said:
IF we build the canal we must pro
tect it and police 1t ourselves. We
must, therefore, bring up and keep VI
our navy to the highest point of efn
cheney.
I'm the event of war. the American
people must rely mainly upon its vol
unteer soldiers. While it is compare
lively simple act to turn a man into
quite a good soldier, you can neither
improvise battleship, or the crew OF
battleship. 1t is not necessary that
we should have a particularly large
navy, but 1t is necessary that, ship fol
ship, it should be a little the best ir
the world"

Abyslnnian Envoy Arrives.

New agg-Abdul-lah-Aly-
Sadik-Pasha, prince of the Mohamme-
dan Church, general of the Abyssinian
army, minister of commerce and envoy
of Emperor Menelik to President
Roosevelt, arrived here Sunday on the
steamer Cedric. He comes ostensibly
in regard to the new treaty of com
merce between this county and Abys-
sinia, but actually his mission is to
study the possibilities of closer rela-
tions with Europe and America. He
has come to America after a stay In
Berlin, Paris and London.
Menelik is especially interested in
the United States and has already
given a home for legation at Ads
Ababa, the capital, in case this country
cares to establish one.
The Pasha speaks no European Ian
guage and travels with an interpreter.
On the steamer he wore European cos
tune, save for a red fez, but as soon
as he reached his hotel here he donned
an oriental costume of wonderful col
orings and wore turban. After two
hours of prayer the Abyssinian envoy
went for a drive, then returned to the
hotel. where he held an informal re.
ception.

Identified as Andrews.

Berkeley, Cal-Absolute identified
ton of the man who led William Ellis,
the Australian horseman, to a house in
Berkeley and then murderously as
saulted and robbed him, as Milton
Franklin Andrews, who is wanted at
Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the
murder of Bessie Bouton, is contained
in a letter from former Chief of Police
Reynolds of Colorado springs received
to-day by Marshal Vollmer of Berkeley.
The woman who accompanied An
drews and aided him in the attempt to
kill Ellis is declared with certainty to
be Hulda Petre Olivia, a French-Cana-
dian, formerly living at Buffalo, New
York; Montreal or Toronto, Canada.
The description of the couple sent out
by Vollmer tallies exactly, according
to Mr.. Reynolds. with the records of
the Colorado Springs police headquar-
ters.

Fine Opening for Criminals.

There is evidently fine opening
for criminals in the French penal
colony of New Caledonia. In the west
Pacific. Residents OF that island who
are in business or following agricul-
tural pursuits have addressed petit
ton to the colonial minister. NJ Gle
mentel. asking him to send them out
more conyicts. The colonists OF New
Caledonia were formerly of differ
ent opinion as to the value OF con-
victs, for they once asked the gov
ernment not to transport all the penal
servitude prisoners to their island.
Consequently fewer convicts were dis
patched there OF late years. and now
the colonists find that they can not
do without help Of the condemned
criminals, whom they are, In TACT,
ready to receive with open arms

ALICE ROOSEVELT
ARRIVES IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM
YOKOHAMA, JAPAN.
TRIP BROKE ALL RECORDS
Sensational Stories Denied-Reeeived
No Very Expensive Presents
To Make Rapid Trip
Eaef

San Francisco.-The liner Siberia,
which arrived from Yokohama Monday
afternoon, established new record
between this city and the Japanese
port, having made the trip in ten days,
ten hours and twenty-eight minutes.
The best previous time between this
port and Yokohama was made by the
Korea, u sister ship of the Siberia, in
ten days, eleven hours and fiye min
'utes. Miss Roosevelt and the Harri-
man party were hurried across the bay
and left at once for the East by special
train Miss Roosevelt denied that she
had received expensive presents while
in the Orient and said that she had
done none of the remarkable things
credited to her by yellow journals.
The Siberia's time is sixteen hours
and twenty-eight minutes longer than
the transpacific record held by the Ca
madam Pacifics liner Empress of
China, plying between Yokohama and
Vancouver, B. c., but the Siberia coy-
cred greater distance.
There were many distinguished pas
sengers on the Siberia. among them
being Miss Alice Roosevelt, Senator
syarren of Wyoming, Representative
spgworth of Ohio, Brig. Gen. II. T..
ts,,,x, chief of the Philippine constab-
fS.Exet E. H. Hartman, president of the
Southern Pacific company; X. Z.
Schwerin, vice president and general
manager of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company; Miss Mabel Boardman and
Miss Amy Mcmillan of Washington, ID.
c., the latter being travelling compan.
ions of Miss Roosevelt. NJ. Shoraishi,
vice president of the Toyo-Kisen-Kai-
sha Japanese steamship line, also came
over from the Orient.
Although it was expected that Miss
Roosevelt would spend a few days In
and around San Francisco, all the pre-
vious plans were changed during the
voyage and neither her party nor that
of Mr.. Hartman landed in this city at
all.
Instead they were transferred from
the Siberia to the tug Arab and taken
direct to the Oakland side of the bay.
They left there at $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon for the East over the Central
route of the Southern Pacific, connect
ing with the Union Pacific and Chi
cago & Northwestern lines, via Chi
cago. for their various homes. An at
tempt is being made to beat all prev
ious records between Yokohama and
the big cities of the East.
"All the presents that / received
were merely inexpensive mementoes
of the trip, such as any girl travelling
in strange countries would receive,
said the Presidents daughter. There
really was nothing so remarkable
about my trip, and l cannot understand
why SO much fuss was made about it.
1 had an exceptionally fine time and en-
joyed every moment that | was away.
The only thing that I regret is that so
many nonsensical stories were circu-
lated regarding me-"

MISTAKE ABOUT "wEAkER SEX"
Investigations Of Scientists Seem to
Prove Man Inferior.

Some interesting biological and
sociological facts have lately been
published about women which are cal
culated to exalt the ostensibly weaker
sex in its own eyes and also in those
of men. We have previously pointed
out the conclusion reached by certain
scientists that the average life OF
woman should. and under normal cir
cumstances would. exceed slightly the
average life of man In respect OF dura-
tlon. Now comes an English biolo-
eist. T. II. Montgomery, who, after
general review of the data presented
by the anatomy and evolution of vari-
GUS invertebrate and vertebrate ami
mails, maintains that the male is less
developed and more embryonic than
the female. So far as the fnverte-
brates and the lower vertebrates are
concerned. the female is clearly supe-
rior. When, within this field OF OBJ
servation. one sex Is found to be rudi-
mentary in comparison with the other,
II is pointed out that this Is almost
always the male. In size the female
is usually the superior--Harper's
Weekly.

FIIlIno up Northwestern Canada.

Settlers are pouring into the coun-
try at the rate of several hundred
thousand year. many of them being
American farmers who have pulled up
stakes at home because OF the better
opportunities across the border. 1t Is
probable, therefore. that the region be-
tween Winnipeg and the Rocky noun
tains will within generation or two
be inhabited by many millions OF pros
porous and energetic men and women,
mainly of Anglo-Saxon blood. What
part will this great granary play in
the history of the British empire and
of the world? asks the London Times.
The answer to this question is of even
more Importance to the United States
than to England.-New York Globe.

the unsympathetic response. Just

The victim, squirrel by fussy old
gentleman. pushed her way through the
crowd already gathered and gaspingly
told the policeman OF how she had felt
a tug at her pocketbook Looking
down, she had found her purse gone,
and. on turning around. had seen this
apparently respectable young man stuff
something into his pocket and run to
the street.
The fussy man corroborated her state
ments, and the three led the process
sion around TO the Proctor street police
station.
Tommy, miserable at the thought of
what consequences would follow his
arrest, besought the policeman to re-
lease him, implored the nervous womc
to withdraw her charge and pleaded
with the fussy old gentleman, who ap-
peared to have formed himself into an
advisory committee. TO urge the woman
to grant his request.
And while he was thus employed

saw and fed to the rescue, with the
result that she was promptly de-
