 Underwood Applauded.
 MT. Underwood in the course of an ad- dress that quite captvated the large aud fence of workingmen, made a plea for an immigration law so strict as to shut out
 from the United States all persons who come here to dethrone the laws, disturb order and retard the general develop
 ment of the country. He pointed out that up to forty years ago the tide of immi- grafton was voluntary; that is, persons who came to America came of their own initiative, and because they longed for a larger liberty and a wide field of in- i dustrial activity. When the Homestead
 act expired in 18S0 he said. there came
 marked change in the class of immi- grants who have landed on our shores Recently, he said, these immigrants had become undesirable by reason of the fact that agents had been employed to get them from all portions of Europe, re-

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

Portland, Ore, June BY a slight
touch of a key of gold, President
Roosevelt, from the far eastern part
of the United States, Thursday moor
set in motion myriads of wheels, pom
derous engines and intricate mechan-
ism 5000 miles away On the distant
shores Of the Pacific, and formally
opened the Lewis and Clark exposition.
An immense throng had gathered
for the in~itiatory 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 comes
from the excitement of jostling crowds.
When the final ceremonies were con
cluded, 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, so 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-
theater seating many thousands.

is RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.
President R~OOsevelt's Tender of
Good Offices Favorable Received
by Press and Public.

st. Petersburg, June 5.-Presidenr
R~oosevelt's tender of his good Offices to
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 humiliat-
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.

WILL INCREASE DEATH RATE.
Supreme Court of New York Decides
Druggist Can Alter Physician's
Prescription.

New York, June 4~.-Supreme Court
Justice Gaynor of Brooklyn has hand
ed 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 means 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.

THE SPAUGHS PRISONERS
Arthur Spaueh Wounded by a Posse
man While Attempting to Shoot
the Marshal.

1ronton, Mo-, June 1.--"Bin" and
Arthur Spaugh, the slayers of Sheriff
John W. Polk, were captured Wednes-
day morning by a posse of Iron county
citizens, headed by Marshal John I.
Marshall, and are now in the Iron
county Jail, where trouble is feared.
Arthur Spaugh, known to be the
gamer Of the two men, was wounded in
the fight that preceded the capture, a
bullet taking effect in his left arm, just
below the shoulder.
The capture was made about eleven
miles east of lronton in a cabin be-
longing to P. C. Walker, bondsman for
Arthur Spaugh in an assault case.
There the two men were surprised by
the posse, which surrounded the house
and called for the surrender of those
within. Instead of giving up, however,
the boys prepared for battle.
Arthur Spaugh pushed a six-shooter
through the door and began pulling
the trigger. It snapped several times
in the face of Marshal Marshall, but
failed to explode.
Seeing the danger of their leader,
several of the posse pulled up their
Winchesters and fairly riddled the
cabin with bullets. At the first shot
a cry of pain was heard from the
younger Spaugh, who clutched con
vulsively at his left side. 1t was
thought at first that the bullet had
taken effect in his heart.
When wounded, Spaugh's pistol fell
from his grasp. several of the posse
standing nearest rushed for him and
pinioned him to the ground. y
"Bill' Spaugh, it is reported. tool
no part in the fight, he having re-
NAMED within the cabin during tEt
entire conflict.

TRAGEDY DUE TO DRINK.

New York, June 6.-John Zoller
whose father, John Zoller, ST., q
Ridgewood contractor, blew up his
home with an internal machine in an
effort to kill himself, his wife and the
boy, is dying in st. Mary's hospital,
Jamaica.
The father was killed instantly. his
body being blown to pieces, but the
wife and mother escaped almost with
out injury, though her reason is de-
throned and the death of her son, who
is 20 years old, may make her recov'
cry impossible.
Drink alone is declared to be re-
sponsible for Zoller's attempt at whole
sale murder. When he entered his
home he carried a small round object
in his hand which he fingered continu-
ally. When his wife and son were in
the room there was a sudden explosion
which tore the arm that held the bomb
from Zoller's body and tore the body
to pieces. The son was hurled through
the rear window to the yard where he
lay bleeding and unconscious.

house, as Clayton has only hand fire
fighting apparatus. Neighbors saved
the most of Schweigert's belongings.

THREE RUSSIAN
REFUGEE SHIPS
They Will Not be Allowed to Repair
at Manila.
POINT GOVERNING THE CASE
Their UnseawOrthiness Caused by
an Act of War, and Not Due
to the EIements-They
Must be informed.

Washington, June 6.-Admiral En-
quist will not be allowed to repair his
ships at Manila. This government has
decided that the injuries to the ships
were not caused by the sea or storm,
the authorities will be obliged to refuse
permission for the vessels to be re-
paired there. Secretary Taft cabled the
following instructions to Gov. Wright
at Manila regarding the ships:
thine can not be given for the re-
pair of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels can not be re-
paired unless interned until the end Of
hostilities."
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. 1t was stated by Secretary
Taft that if the Russian vessels agreed
to leave Manila in their present condi-
ton they were welcome to do SO, but
as it did not appear that they suffered
from any damage caused by the sea or
storm. this government was Obliged to
take the position above outlined.
In case Admiral Enquist does not
adopt this course, his only alterna-
tive, after the period allowed by inter-
national law has expired, will be to in
terne his ships. Orders have been is
sued for Admiral Train to take charge
of the details of internement If the
Russian admiral decides to follow this
policy.
The navy department received a ca
blegram from Rear-Admiral Train con-
frming in detail the press dispatch OF
regarding the length of time required
by three Russian ships at Manila to re-
ceive such repairs as will put them In
seaworthy condition.

That the American people have an
eye for the beautiful and a profound
respect for the same is evidenced by
the fact that the average number Of
visitors who pass through the doors
of the congressional library at Wash
ington each day number 2.400. This
is independent Of events which bring
large crowds to the city, such as a
meeting of the G. A. R, or an Inaugural

dinary and are not counted in the gen
