nAnt of the exercises was | o'clock, at
which time the officials of the exposi-
tion. state commissioners and distin-
guished guests assembled on the lake

mainder apparently was thronging to
the exposition grounds. To the many
thouasnds of the local population were
added many more who came in on ex-
curslon trains last night and this
morning.
The first demonstration of the day
was big parade about the grounds, in
which military, civic and spectacular
features were the attractions. Many
bands were in the procession and
thousands afOot and on horseback added
t. the attractiveness of the pageant
Following the parade were the open
air exercises held on the shore of
Guild Lake On the shore of the
lake a stand had been erected for the
speakers and seats provided for the lls-
teners. Promptly at the time set the
assemblage was called to order by Pres

tion and to the nation at large. Loud

the visitor on behalf of the City of
Portland, and Governor Chamberlain
extended greeting for the State of
Oregon.
At the conclusion of the speeches
greetings were exchanged between
President Roosevelt and President
Goode and the exposition was declared
to be formally opened. The speakers

velt pressed the "button'' that started
the wheels in the Machinery Hall and

HE ECOMMITTEDS SUICIDE
A Sailor browns Himself BY
Jumping Into The Water
From Santee.

Otto Wineberger, sailmaker smate,
attached to the U. IS. 5. Santee, COM
mitted suicide this morning by drown
ing. Weinberger jumped from the
Santee and before assistance could be
obtained he sank beneath the water
and was not seen to rise again. The
body was later recovered.
This is Weinberger's second attempt
to commit suicide. About year ago
ne shot himself in the forehead with
suicidal intent, but the wound was
not sufficient to cause. death. He bore
the scar of the wound which, how
ever, did not deter him from making
way with himself today. The suicide
was 30years old and Norwegian by
birth. lie is survived by a father
Nicoli o. Weinberg, and a brother,
Nicoli Weinberg, both of whom reside
in Chicago, and have been notified
of the suicide.
Ii is said the man was addicted TO
the use of alcoholic stimulants and to
this the suicide is attributed. Unless
the mans family is heard from the
remains will be inferred in the Naval
Cemetery. Undertaken James 5. Tay-
lor has charge of the body.

THE ARMY AND NAVY GAME
NO LONGER BE PLAYED ON
FRANKLIN FIELD.
The Game This Year Will Take
Place On Princeton's
Gridiron.

The West Point Annapolis football
game will be played this year at
Princeton Field. Princeton, Deeem-
ber 2. instead of on Franklin Field,
Philadelphia, as heretofore.
The demand for tickets to the games
played by the national academies has
become so great that more seats are
necessary for the Army and Navy than
Pennsylvania. with the many proper
demands of her subcribers and sup
port. could supply with the limited
capacity of Franklin Field. The rela-
tions between Pennsylvania and West
Point and the Naval Academy are as
cordial as ever.
The authorities at the Naval Acad-
envy express appreciation of the cour-
tesy extended them in the past by
Pennsylvania and understand her in
ability TO grant their request for a
larger allotment of seats ia future
contests. No steps were taken until
after the Pennsylvania deal was en-
tirely off, after which Princeton was
approached. This resulted in the
signing of the agreement in Philadel-
phia yesterday, by which the Army
gets z 900 seats on one stand and the
Navy gets 1000 on her stand, instead
of each receiving only g, 100 apiece,
which was all that Pennsylvania could
let them have in the past.
The midshipmen are pleased with
the change, as they will be benefited
by the increase in tickets. The need
for more seats was serious, as other
wise the two national institutions ath-
letic associations stood in danger of
dissolution on account of inability to
take care of all of their mem bers at
the big annual contest. This was the
main reason for the change, aud it
was. a more pressing one for tile Navy
than for the West Pointers, on ac-
count of the recent increase in the
size of the brigade Of midshipmen who
must be taken care of at the contest.
The midshipmen, as general rule,
knew nothing of the proposed change,
but seemed, on the whole, to be
pleased.

CARNIVAL WAS FREE.
Bad Weather Did Not Keep All
Patrons AWAY.

Inelement weather caused great
falling off in tho attendance at the
carnival of the Independent Fire Com
pany last night. IL was at first Thought
needless to open the gates, but as so
many persons seemed desirous of
getting in, the gates were opened, but
no charge was made. Only one or
two of the amusemeuts opened for
business, but the small stands were
soon placed in commission.
During the storm the tent over the
flying Dutchman was blown down, as
was the tent over the wild animals.
1t created some little excitement for a
short time, but the slight damage
done was soon repaired. With better
weather conditions large attendance
is expected tonight. Many changes for
the bettre have been made in the shows
since the opening night and all of the
moving pictures shows will make use
of new films

WILL START AT ONCE
Senate Chamber to Be Restored
to Old And Original
Condition.

Within the next few days work on
the restoration of the old Senate
Chamber will be started. While it
was first thought that the work could
be done in sixty days, the chances
are that twice that length of time
will be required. The work will be
done by the state itself and will not
be let ont by contract.
Contractor Smith will place the
men at work on a commission and
Mr.. John X. Sullivan will be placed
in charge of the work on the pant of
the state. AS il is desired TO place
the room in as near the condition il
was originally, one little item will
make the cost of the change amount
TO thousands of dollars Steel girders
were placed in the floor overhead at
the time the change was made and
these have lowered the ceiling of the
Senate Chamber almost one foot. To
make "a smooth, unbroken and unfiguTed
ceiling in the room the steel beams
will have TO be removed, which will
entail the entire removal of the floor
above at great expense.
About $50, 600 could be saved if the
floor was left as it is and the ceiling
of the room finished off flush with
the girders and the room would then
be but slightly less than one foot
lower than it vas originally. 1t seems
the intention of the Governor, how
ever, TO follow the suggestions of
Architect Pennington and have the
glrders removed. The executive de-
partment will have to seek other quar-
ters while the work is being done if
it is decided to make this latter change
The pictures will be taken from the
Senate chamber and stored in the
House of Delegates until the room is
remodeled. AS soon as the work on
the Senate Chamber is completed the
House of Delegates will be fitted up as
"A museum.
