President Roosevelt acknowledged
the salute with lifted hat and accepted
the formal words of greeting as stiffly
as they were uttered. Then, with the
brief ceremony ended, he grasped Ad-
miral Evans hand and gave it the
hearties of shakes. The two con-
versed together informally for mo-
ment or two until other arriving flag
and commanding officers set the re-
ception into full swing. When Adj
miral Evans was about to take his
leave and get the feet under way, the
president followed him to the gang
way, and then called him aside for
nearly five minutes of earnest CONVEX
sation. The president spoke with his
usual emphasis, and the admiral lis
tened intently with constant affirm
|ative nod of his head.
Group Photographed.
During the reception the president
was photographed with the officers
grouped about him. A marine guard
and band were stationed on the May
flowers decks, and the ceremonies of
receiving and sending away the visit
ing officers gave martial touch of
color to the occasion. Rear Admiral
Berry, commanding the Norfolk navy
yard journeyed to Hampton Roads on
the torpedo boat Stringham to pay his
respects to the president, and his dark
hulled, rakish-looking craft passing in
among the white-clad battleships add
ed something of the sinister side to
the purpose of a navy's being.
Black of hull and tunnels, with no
touch of color anywhere in the relief,
the Stringham glided about like some
creepy reptile. There was another tor
pedo boat in the picture-the Tingey-
which acted as convoy to the May
flower.
But the Tingey was far more pleas
ing in her sea-green coloring> and
bright yellow band about the forward
stack. She remained by the side of
the Mayflower throughout the cere-
monies.
There was not hitch in any of the
details of the well planned program
but there were number of amusing
incidents, not the least of which were
the antics of four sailors who had
overstayed their leave on shore and
were frantically calling from the Old
Point pier for boat to pick them up
At last one of the quartet conceived
the idea of wig-wagging their plight
to the commanding officer. Selling his
own cap and another from his com.
panions, he mounted to pile head and
for nearly ten minutes waved arms
and caps according to the signal code
But it was too late to stop for strag.
glers, and the disappointed sailors,
their ditty boxes and clothes bags safe
aboard the parting ships, were left
behind.
Parting Informal.
In parting with the officers of the
fleet President Roosevelt was wholly
informal, and to each had cordial
handclasp, grasp of the uniformed
shoulder and hearty "Good-by, old
fellow, and good luck"

ROOSEVELT
REIIERAIES

!" asnins Oon'> Lee. l2.-Presiden,
Roosevelt will not be candidate fos
third term. All doubt on this 40 NJ
was last night dispelled by the au,ba u'
itative statement from the Whit.
House that Mr.. Roosevelt still ~
hered to the declaration of renuro;u
ton made on the night of the elect;os
three years ago. In the statement ~
sued last night President Rooseva,.
says he has not changed and shall, ~.
change the decision delivered to ~
American people in 1904. ~
It appears that President Roosovo,.
had. been awaiting the call for tho D.
publican national convention to afford
the proper opportunity for making his
position clear and unmistakable tbua
leaving the field clear for FairbanEs
Taft, Cannon. Knox, Foraker and Other
candidates for the nomination.
In view of the issuance of the call n.
the Republican national committee fo,
the convention the president makes
the following announcement:
Presidents Statement.
ION the night after election l made
the following statement:
81 am deeply sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what have done and have tried TO
do. I appreciate to the full the SOL.
emn responsibility this confidence i'm.
poses upon me, and l shall do all that
in my power lies not to forfeit it. On
the fourth of March next l shall have
served three and one-half years, and
this three and half years constitute
my first term. The wise custom which
limits the president to two terms re.
CARDS the substance and not the form.
and under no circumstances will I
be candidate for or accept another
nomination.
II have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced"
Will Stop Third Term Talk.
The announcement that the presi-
dent would not accept the Republican
nomination if rendered, came at too
late an hour to become generally
known in political circles, but among
those who learned of it, Democrats and
Republicans alike, the feeling was gen.
eral that it left no element of doubt
in the presidential situation so far as;
relates to the third term talk, and
that it definitely eliminates Mr.. Roose-
welt from the contest now being waged.
Some Democrats, however, express a
belief that Roosevelt stampede in
he Republican convention would shake
his resolution, and that he would
prove no exception to the historic pre-
cedent that no American citizen ever
refused presidential nomination.
Administration Republicans declare
that the announcement gives great
impetus to the Taft boom, while the
Democrats, many of the leaders Of
which party are here to attend the
meeting of their national committee
today, are saying that it means
Bryan in a walk"
Speaker Cannon said: "The presl-
dent speaks for himself. 1t would be-
useless and inappropriate for me TO-
attempt to interpret the presidents
words"
Senator Foraker said: THAT has
been his position all the while, l sup
pose. but don't care to discuss the
matter. thank Won >"

MANY INFLUENCES IN STOCK MARKET Movement Becomes FeveriSh
 Late in Day UNION PACIFIC STRONGER Copper and United States Steel Stocks Feel the Effect of Reports
 That Orders for the Year
 are Falling Off.
UNION PACIFIC STRONGER

New York; July 17.-Prices were alter nately up and down all day today on the stock market, and the movement became feverish late in the day with the quick transition from rising to falling tendency
 Dealings were not on an important scale outside a very few issues. It was the conflicting movement of the most conspic- uous of these that kept the list unset tied. Union Pacific was the prominent in fiuence on the present advance, and Uni- ted States Steel on the side of the de- cline. the weakness of the latter over whelming the latter market. The demand for Union Pacific was persistent and de- termined. and that stock was generally regarded as the center of organized oper- Rtions to support the market or to ad- vance prices. The desire to make an at tractive market for the convertible bonds of which $7l 100000 out of the S75.00O. GOO has fallen to the underwriting syndicate, was one of the credited motives for the sup port of Union Pacific. The strength of the stock was helped by the clrculatlon of reports of the very large net earnings for the fiscal year. which will be disclosed by the accounting. The Harrimans continue to feel the benefit of Wall street interpre- tation placed on the Hartman report of the interstate commerce commission. The differences drawn from this report were given credit also for the sympa .hetic

COTTON MARKET ADVANCES SHARPLY Prices Go Up on BeariSh Re-
 ports from South BEARS BECOMING UNEASY Any Indication That Bear Leaders Are Trying to Reduce Their
 Lines Is Anticipated by
 Bull Movement.
BEARS BECOMING UNEASY

New York, July 1.-The cotton market was more active and showed continued frmness. taking the day as a whole with the close firm; net unchanged on July and 15 to 19 points higher on other months. The sales of the day were estlmatetd at 300 900. The opening was steady, at an advance of 1 to points on near months, which were influenced by higher cables than expected to a decline of to points on later positions. Afterwards the general list eased off after realizing and scattering pressure which was encouraged by con tinued favorable weather in the south, but after showing net loss of about to points, the market was rallied by a re- newal of demand from leading bears and buying by southwestern bull interests. To- ward the close. the market became firmer and more active on a more general de- mand with last prices only a point or two off from the best.
 This advance followed a circular from the bear leader quoting 6 bearlsh opinion of the crop by prominent southerner who was taken to indicate that leading bears were becoming uneasy and wanted to cover Some of the local professionals have been buying on soft spots all the week and any indication that the leading bears are trying to reduce their lines seems to attract a considerable demand in anticipation of renewal of the bull move ment. Private crop news was more or less conflicting and some very bullish re- ports are being received from Texas. Southern spot markets were unchanged to Hsc higher. Receipts at the ports today 1513 bales. against 2G9s last week, and 2Si1 last year. For the week, 1900 bales, against 15,S02 last week, and 25,1T last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 862 bales, against 1S6o last year. and at Houston 6S7 bales, against 25s last year.

strength in the Hill stocks. Concerning this group there were reports of a plan for readjustipB control of the Burlington, which. persisted in spite of the forclble denials by the head of the system that there was nothing In 1t.
 United States Steel was consistently heavy throughout the day It's weakness was directly traceable to the report that orders were falling off and would show for July a decrease from the showing for July of last year. An unpleasant anal ogy presents itself at the experience of 1903, owing to the close of parallel In many respects with conditions of this year. It IS remembered that the halt of that year, caused largely by scarcity of capital or over supply of securities which forced economies and curtailments, did not re- fleet it's effects subsequently, in the iron and steel makket until after the middle of the year. owing to the large number of or ders on hand, which kept up the require ments for the produce for a long time after the check was first felt, yet the iron trade was in deep depression before the end of the third quarter of 1903
 The wide decline in the price of copper after being long arbitrarily held at about 25c, in an example that feeds anxiety over the situation, and the fact that most other metal markets are lower adds"to the uneasiness Steel in spite Of a re- bound In the price of copper warrants In London, was not inclined to advance. and Mondays payment of $14, 900 on account of Union Pacific convertible bonds and S10, 600 000 for telephone stock remains to be met in the early future. The foreign trade statement indicates heavy trade in manufacturers exports compared with June of last year, which is sufficiently to more than offset the heavy growth in value of imports for the same period
 The acute weakness in United States Steel made the closing weak and disor- derly at sharp losses. Bonds were IT, regular. Sales, par value, s89o,ooo. united states bonds were unchanged on call
