TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF JONH PAUL JONES

Annapolis, April 24.-AccOmpanied
by the members of his cabinet, French
ambassador and distinguished party
of officials, army and navy officers
and ledies, President Roosevelt arrived
here today at 1856 O'Clock to attend
the exercises in connection with the
interment of the body of John Paul
Jones. President Roosevelt delivered
the following address:
On behalf of the American people
l wish to thank our ancient ally, the
great French nation. that proud and
gallant nation. to whose help we once
owed it that John Paul Jones was able
to win for the Stars and Stripes the
victory that has given him deathless
fame, and to whose courtesy we now
owe it that the body of the long dead
hero has been sent hither, and that to
commemorate the reception of the
illustrious dead. squadron of French
warships has come to our shores.
The annals of the French navy are
filled with the name of brave and able
seamen, each of whom counted death
as mistress when the honor of his
flag was at stake: and among the
figures of these brave men there loom
the larger shapes of those who, like
Tourville, Duquesne. and the Bailli de
Suffren. who won renown as fleet
admirals inferior to none of any navy
of their day in martial prowess
In addition to welcoming the diplo-
matte and official representatives of
France here present. let me also ex-
press my heartiest acknowledgements
to our former ambassador to Paris,
General Horace Porter. to whose
Jealous devotion we particularly owe
it that the body of John Paul Jones
has been brought to our shores.
When the body was thus brought
over the representatives OF many
i different cities wrote to me, each ask
ing that it should find its last resting
place in his city. But l feel that the
place of all others in which the
memory of the dead hero will most
surely be a living force is here in
Annapolis, where year by year we turn
out the midshipmen who are to officer
in the future the navy among whose
founders the dead man stands first.
Moreover, the future naval officers,

San Francisco. April 24.-Arrange-
ments for the reconstruction of new
and greater San Francisco are rapidly
materializing and soon the sound of
building will be heard in every block
of the devasted district. The blowing
up of the ruins in the business section
has partially begun and it now we'll
under way. There will not be dan
gerous ruin standing on Market street
by this afternoon. A large squad of
artillery men assisted by the NUM-
cipal authorities have been dynamit-
ing all the tottering buildings and
walls. This work so far has been
confined to Market street in order to
open safe artery from the outlying
district to the water front. The dis
trict north of Market street and the
business section will receive the game
treatment after Market street is clear.
San Francisco. April 24.-Follow-
ing the rain which fell Sunday night
and yesterday morning which great
ly itensified the misery and suffer-
ing of the homeless people of this
stricken city. last night was one OF
comparative comfort and of greatly
improved conditions. The night was
clear. warm and balniy and there was
less suffering among thousands of
refugees camping out doors than at
any time since the day of the disas-
ter. The condition of the people is
constantly growing better The relief
work is being organized with every
day and the distribution of provisions
and the providing of shelter is daily
becoming more systematical and
methodical. While the heavy rain for
the time being has added much to the
misery of the homeless. it did much
towards improving the sanitary con-
ditions throughout the city. At .1O:4O
last night an earthquake shock was
felt throughout the city and momen-
tarily created a certain alarm among
the people but no damage was done.
The general conditions in the city are
improving rapidly. The weather to-
day was never better and indications
for its continuation are good. Hun
dreds of men have been placed at
work clearing the streets. The Spring
Valley Water company has about T.
900 men at work repairing and replac-
ing broken water mains and many
portions of the residence section are
now abundantly supplied with water.

who live within these walls, will find
in the career of the man whose life we
this day celebrate, not merely sub
ject for admiration and respect, but
an object lesson to be taken into their
innermost hearts. Every officer in our
navy should know by heart the deeds
of John Paul Jones. Every officer in
our navy should feel In each fibre of
his being the eager desire to emulate
the energy, the professional capacity,
the indomitable determination, and
dauntless scarn of deeth which marked
John Paul Jones above all his fellows.
The history of our navy, like the
history of our nation, only extends
over period of century and
quarter; yet we already have many
memories of pride to thrill us as we
read and hear of what has been done
by our fighting men of the sea, from
Perry and Macdonougn to Farragut
and Dewey. These memories include
brilliant victories. and also, now and
then, defeats only less honorable, the
victories, themselves; but the only de-
feats to which this praise can be given
are those where. against heavy odds,
men have stood to the death in hope
less battle. 1t is we'll for every Amer
lean officer to remember that while a
surrender may or may not be defen-
sible, the man who refuses to surrender
need never make defense. The one
fact must always be explained; the
other needs no explanation. Moreover,
he who would win glory and honor
for the nation and for himself, must
not too closely count the odds; if he
does, he will never see such a day
as that when Gushing sank the Abe
marble.
In his fight with the Serapis Jones
ship was so badly mauled that his
opponent hailed him. saying HAS your
ship struck?" To which Jones
answered, II have not yet begun to
fight" The spirit which inspired that
answer upbore the man who gave it
and the crew who served under him
through the fury of the battle, which
finally ended in their triumph 1t was
the same spirit which marked the COM
manders of the Cumberland and the
Congress, when they met an equally
glorious thoughtless fortunate fate.

INTEREST TO PRESS.
Bill for Publication of Final Notices
Introduced.
by f. C. Snyder.

Washington, D. c., April 24.-Sena-
tor Hansbrough has introduced a bill
of general interest to newspapers in
the United States where there may be
land offices. 1t amends present regu-
lations as to the publication of notices
OF final entry under the land laws of
the United States. Mr.. Hansbrough
provides in his bill that all notices
which the general provisions of the
mineral and public land laws require
to be published in newspaper of
established character published near
est the lands described in such notices
and within the land district of county
in which said lands are located; and.
in cases where two or more such pa.
pers are published in the town near
est such lands, or in two or more
towns which are of equal distance
from such lands, such notice shall be
published in any one of such papers
as may be designated for that purpose
by the register of the land office from
which such notice is issued.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Hansbrough to increase the pension of

The Cumberland sank, her flag fly
ing, and her guns firing with the decks
awash, while, when summoned to sur
render, Morris replied, Never! Ill
sink aloneside!" and made his words
good. Immediately after the Cumber-
land was sunk the Congress was at
tackled, and her commander, Lieut.. Joe
Smith, was killed. After fighting until
she was helpless and being unable to
bring her guns to bear, the ship was
surrendered: but when Smiths father,
old Commodore Joe Smith, who was on
duty at Washington, saw by the dis
patches from Fort Monroe that the
Congress had hoisted the white flag. he
said quietly, "Then Joe's dead!"
Surely no father could wish to feel
prouder certainty of his boys be-
havior than the old commodore showed
he possessed when he thus spoke; and
no naval officer could hope to win
finer epitaph.
We have met today to honor to the
mighty dead. Remember Wat our
words of admiration are but as sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbals if we
do not by steady preparation and by
the cultivation of soul and mind and
body fit ourselves so that in time of
need we shall be prepared to emulate
their deeds. Let every midshipman
who passes through this institution
remember, as he looks upon the tomb
OF John Paul Jones, that while no
courage can atone for the lack of
that efficiency which comes only
through careful preparation in advance,
through careful training of the men,
and careful fitting out of the engines
of war, yet that none of these things
can avail unless in the moment of
crisis the heart rises level with the
crisis. The navy whose captains will
not surrender are sure in the long run
to whip the navy whose captains will
surrender unless the inequality of skill
or farce is prodigious. The courage
which never yields can not take the
place of the possession of good ships
and good weapons and the ability
skillfully to use these ships and these
weapons; but its presence will often
atone for many other shortcomings,
and if with it are combined the other
military qualities, the fortunate owner
becomes literally invincible.

A MIDNIGHT FIRE.
Two Barnes Burned But Flames Kept
From SPREADING.

:
A fire of unknown origin was dis
covered in barn on the corner of
Cherry and Sixth streets, about mid
night Monday, and a hurried alarm
was sent in to the department. With
an unconquerable start, however, all
the f1remen could do was to protect
surrounding property. This they were
successful in, excepting that smaller
barn Immediately adjoining the larger
one was also burned, the flames hav-
ing made considerable headway on
both structures before the department
arrived on the scene.
The structures destroyed were the
property of p. Peterson, who was him
self asleep in the larger building when
the flames were discovered. The en-
tire contents of both stables, including
one COW, harness, and a considerable
quantity of hay, oats and feed, were
destroyed. Mr., Peterson estimates his
loss at about $4,000, with no insurance.
Three horses and one COW were gotten
out of the burning buildings.
