amen ded the treaties in the face OF knowl-
edge that President Roosevelt would
decline to renegotiate them If they were
chan ged in any way. and there IA no reason
to doubt that he will make good his word.
The committees amendment was in the
form of a mere change of one word. but the
effect Is far reaching and important
Article of each treaty as submitted TO the
Senate provided that In every case Of arbi-
tration tho United States and the other
nation involved should before applying
10 the permanent arbitration court, con-
clude special agreement, defining clearly
the matter In dispute and the scope of the
powers of the arbitrators and fixing the
periods for the formation OF the arbitral
tribunal and the several stages Of the pro-
cedure.'
As amended by the committee the word
treaty" is substituted for agreement.
the importance of the change lying in the
fact that II makes it necessary for the Senate
to pass upon every case presented for arbi
tration before it reaches the permanent
court, with the privilege of refusing to per-
init the arbitration 10 proceed.
This amendment was a concession TO
Southern Senators, who contended that
under the treaties as negotiated the eli inns
of foreign subjects who held unredeemed
bonds issued by the States Of the Southern
Confederacy could be made the subject
of arbitration with the United States.
President Roosevelt told the committee
in writing that the treaty was not capable

PORTLAND FAIR IS OPENED
Formal Opening of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition.
With Brief, hut Impressive CeremO-
Aies, the Fair Was Launched ON
Its Five Months Season.

Portland, Ore, June BY q slight
touch of a key of gold, President
Roosevelt, from the far eastern part
OF the United States, Thursday noon
set in motion myriads of wheels, pom
derUus engines and intricate mechan-
ism 5000 miles away on the distant
shores of the Pacific, and formally
opened :he Lewis and Clark exposition.
An immense throng had gathered
for the initiatory exercises, Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks representing the pres
ident of the United States. There were
parades and speeches, blare of brass,
clang of gongs and the hum that m
from the excitement of jostling crowds.
When the final ceremonies were con-
Guided, heads were barred in the SOL
emn hush that followed the benedic-
ton, and the countless wheels
started TO revolve, and the fair became
a thing Of life and animation as the
crowds flowed through the great white
palaces.
The opening exercises were brief,
though impressive. Departing from
precedent, the gates to the exposition
were opened early, 50 that the crowds
could assemble before the ceremonies,
The first demonstration was a parade
of the grounds, in which military, civic
and spectacular features predominated.
The formal exercises were held on the
shore of Guilds lake, where the slope
of the ground, terraced and provided
with seats, formed a natural amphi-
thcater seating many thousands.

Druggist Can Alter Physician's
Prescription.

New York, June 4.-Supreme Court
Justice Gaynor of Brooklyn has hand
cd down a decision that maintains the
authority of a druggist to alter the pre-
scription of a physician. Medical men
throughout the state say that if the
precedent thus created is taken ad-
vantage of to any extent it e no
end of trouble for the medical world
and will increase the chance of death.
The decision was handed down in a
suit brought by a patient against a GER
tain drug company in Brooklyn, whose
clerk, having altered the prescription
of a physician. almost killed the per-
son who took the drug.
The druggist had added morphine to
the prescription. a medicine the physi-
clan had purposely avoided.

AN ANrI.NvPrvAL DINNER
ceases Were Among the Guests-
Duchess Made Good ImpressiOn.

Berlin, June 5.-All the visiting
princes and princesses dined with Em-
peror William and Empress Augusta
Victoria Sunday night, in honor of the
Duchess Cecilia and the Crown Prince
frederick William, who are to be mar
ried Tuesday. Altogether 24O persons
were present at the dinner, and Include
ing among the guests were cabinet
ministers, generals and admirals.
Duchess Cecilia made a remarkable
personal impression on the guests. She
was animated, cordial and unaffected.
Emperor William took Grand Duchess
A~nastasia TO the table. and by his ate
tention to her quite .disproved the s;o-
ries Of discord between them.
At the conclusion Of the dinner,
Duchess Cecilia called for two glasses
of champagne and handed them 70 the
two pages who bore her train.
There were no toasts. The dinner
ended as a%torchlight procession of stu
dents with flags and music came down
Inter Den Linden. The royal party
went out on a balcony, where the
duchess and crown prince stood in a
brilliant light SO that the marchers
could see them.
Five hundred persons were either
overcome by the heat Saturday or in
jured in the crowds which came TO
view the entrance of the Duchess Ce-
ella into Berlin. Thirty-six of them
are in q ser4cus condition.

IS RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.
President RO~Oseve1t's Tender OF
Good Offices Favorable Received
by Press and Public.

st. Petersburg, June 5.-PresidenL
Roosevelt's tender of his good offices 10
bring about peace is received with
general favor in the press and by the
public, ard a desire that some steps
should be taken toward securing an
honorable peace is increasingly mani
fest.
The Russ declares that the presi-
dents offer should be commended as
an act of friendship tending to bring
out Japan's terms of peace and Rus
sia's acceptance of an offer which
would not mean surrender on humi.iat-
ing terms. The paper maintains at
the same time that negotiations, if be-
gun, must be direct, and that there
must be no intervention by other pow.
ers.
The Bourse Gazette says that Rus
STA must make the best possible use Of
the friendly offices Of the United States
and Great Britain. This paper, as well
as the Syno Tchestva and the Ma
shaZhsin and others advances the idea
that Japan would be disposed to grant
| better terms to the Russian people
than to the ~bureaucratS who began the
war. These papers reiterate the de-
mand for a zemsky sober to settle The
question. Even the Grashdanin de-
clares peremptorily for peace, the
Novo Vremya alone dissenting from
the general chorus.
