which greeted his appearance on the rOs-
trum, said that President Roosevelt's
horse had been waiting for an hour and

position. He said that although he did
not expect to see the President for four
or five days and presumed that his right
eOus indignation would have cooled by
then. nevertheless. he did not purpose to
dctain him longer. and so would wait for
the President to press the button.
MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT.
The presidential salute of twenty -one
guns was the signal to the impatient
throng that the moment for the opening
of the exposition was at hand. Upon u
telegraph operator. seated at an instru-
ment on the speakers stand, the eyes OF
the multitude were riveted. and while
the guns were still booming. the move
ment Of his hand at the key was a suf-
fcient indication to the watchers that
President Roosevelt was being advised
that all was In readiness to receive tho
signal from the White House which would
formally open the exposition.
Then followed a walt OF several min
utes marked by an impressive stiffness.
during which eye and ear was strained
to catch the first move OF the OPERATOR
