HAD A FIGHTING CHANGE.
The Russian WarshiPs Surrendered
 Prematurely.

St Petersburg, June 1.-According to dispatches from Baron Ferzen, conn mander of the cruiser Izumrud. the battIeships remaining in the fight were still in squadron formation when he was cut off, and this increases the deep resentme ent felt at the surrender of the ships, the Novoe Vremya even declar- ing that the officers ought to be court martialed and shot for hauling down their flags and turning their ships over to the Japanese.
 The paper cites the articles of naval regulations forbidding a commander to surrender except in a last emergency, after taking measures to destroy his ship. It points out that it required on Iy the opening of the sea cocks to send the ships to the bottom. The crews would be given good chances of life, the paper says and cites the example of the cruiser Rurik of the Vladivos- tok squadron, which after fight with Admiral Kamimura in August last, went down heroically with colors fly ing.

ceived with tremendous cheering. which echoed back and forth through the multitude for several minutes. As the echo died away, the Right Rev. David H. Moore, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, stepped to; the front of the platform, raised his hands in in vocation of the divine blessing.
 The impressive silence which fol- lowed the prayer was broken as the inspiring strains of Imperial Oregon, % march composed by Innes and dedi- cated to the memory of Captains Lew is and Clark, and inscribed to the peo- .ple of Oregon, was played by the band. While the last notes of the band reverberated through the grounds, and before the great applause which greet ed the rendition of the piece had sub sided, President Goode again arose to address the people. His appearance on the rostrum was the signal for renewed cheering, which continued for several minutes. Finally, in response to his appealing gestures. the president was permitted to begin his address.
 Following President Goode, Govern or George E. Chamberlain of the State of Oregon was introduced Governor Chamberlain in a short address con- graduated the people of the State, the City of Portland and the Lewis & Clark corporation upon the achievment of an event so notable in the history

A Sensational Story Comes
 From Paris
A FRENCH PROPOSITION
Japan not Co B. Allowed ts Prescribe Terms Tso Harsh for her Biz Beaten Adversary = Story Denied, bat nas Color Of Truth.

St Petersburg, June I.-An evening paper today printed a sensational sto- " from a Paris correspondent saying that he was in a position to state that after the passage of many telegrams last night between the French foreign office and the French embassy here. M. Bompard. the French ambassador. is returning hastily to St PetersburE from Paris at the request of Russia to arrange for peace negotiations France having agreed that if Japan's terms are too Onerous. to undertake to ask concert of all the powers 10 compel both powers to mediate.
 At both the foreign office and the French embassy the story was denied but there is reason to believe that M Bompard Is bringing a direct message from Foreign Minister DeICasse. urg- ing Russia to make peace.
 The extraordinary council at Tsars- koe-Selo reached no conclusion on the subject of peace. but 1t is said that the emperor agreed to meet the inter national situation by an immediate proclamation of decree providing for a convocation of the national assem- bly,. M. Witte is understood 10 have assumed the leadership of the peace advocates. An immediate convOcatioh of the assembly is believed to be the only means of avoiding a popular storm.

the most important step in changing a struggling line of seaboard common wealths into mighty continental na- tion. It was one of the epochs of our history. and it is eminently fitting that it should be commemorated by the ex- position at Portland as is now being done. As the civilized world has spread, the nations of the world have come ever closer together. When the civilized world was grouped around the Mediterranean, when the Atlantic was an unknown sea, the peoples around the Mediterranean were sundered from one another by time, by manners, by habits of thought, to a degree which we can now only imperfectly appreci- ate. I, here in Washington, start the exposition in Portland and the same forces that have knit together the dif- ferent sections of this great country. that have rendered it possible to keep our nation more emphatically one in spirit, now that it has spread over the contient, than was the case when it occupied but a small fraction of the continent. will, I firmly believe. bring the nations of the earth ever closer to- gether and enable us all to work to- gether in peace and in harmony for the future of mankind
 At the conclusion of his address the the president said: "I now open the Lewis and Clark exposition" leaning forward at the same instant and press ing the gold key, which started ma chinery 5000 miles away. Practically instantaneously the first gun of the national salute was fired on the White House lot by the Third field battery of the United States army.
 When the formal exchange of mes sages between Portland and the White House had been concluded. the presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt extended cor dial personal greetings to the assem- bled guests, Baron Mayor des Plan ches. the Italian ambassador. as dean of the diplomatic corps in the absence of Count Cassini, the Russian ambas- sador. leading the line with the Baron ess des Planches. A notable figure in the assembIage was the recently ap- pointed ambassador of Brazil, Senor Nabuco.

TRIED TO HIRE A STRIKE
So Tsamstsrs Charge Against Mont.
 gOmery Ward a Co.

Chicago, June 1.-Charges of bribery against an official of the Employers Teaming company were made today to the grand jury by President Shea, of the teamster's union, and by Albert Young, former president of the same organization. Young and Shea claim they were offered S1O,0 900 two years ago to bring about strike of the team sters employed by Sears, Roebuck and company, which is a rival of Mont gomery, Ward & company. They said that they refused the money and the strike was never called.
 After leaving the jury room Young made statements to the newspaper re- porters. going more in detail than those he had made before the jury. He was again subpoenaed and brought before the jury a second time. He refused to tell where the meeting had taken place or to name the men who were present when the money was said to have been offered. Young declined to give good reason for refusing the infor nation and was taken before Judge Barnes, who was asked for a ruling on the matter.
 The judge then asked a number of questions and finally decided that Young would not incriminate himself. and he ordered him to make answers forthwith. Young and the members of the grand jury then returned to the jury room and he was questioned for an hour. He gave the names of the men offering the money but refused, after leaving the jury room, to discuss what had taken place. The states at torney declared that all persons con nected with the inquiry had been sworn to secrecy and that nothing would be given out.

Until he had concluded his speech President Roosevelt could not start the machinery. At 4:2O D. m., Washing ton time. the speech was finished The Darlor doors of the East Room swung open and the president accom- panied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb, entered. The approach of the president was announced to the as- sembled guests by fanfare of trum- pets Immediately the orchestra of the Marine band stationed in the vesti- bule began the inspiring strains of Hail to the Chief"
 Standing near a stand bearing the telegraph key, with his military and naval aides facing him, President Roosevelt addressed the assembly briefly as follows: Ladies and gen. tlemen: I have just received a tele- gram from President Goode from the Lewis and Clark exposition, sending his greetings and stating that the ex- position management are waiting for me to touch the button which will ring the chimes in the United States government building and start the ma chinery of the exposition.

The horse of one of the republican guards belonging to the escort received the full force of the charge in his chest. thus ave-ting it from the two rulers.
 The king noticing the momentary confusion among the escort. calmed them by saying: Pleasure yourselves. gentlemen. This is nothing"
 Then turning to the frightened crowd. he added: Calm yourselves This Is nothing"
 Afterward the king told NJ. Loubet that this was his fourth providenttal escape from an attempt on his life.
 M MouQuin. chief of the secret service, announces positively that the author of the crime is known and that the police are also in possession of the details of the plot and the details lead ing up to it.

The Russian cruisers Au- rora and Almaz are probably sunk.
 Attention is called to the fact that Japanese torpedo operations were highly successful and that a majority of the large Russian vessels were sunk as a result of them. During the pro- gress of the battle there was considera- ble mist and fog which prevented a comprehensive report"
