dent will on next Monday formally

and strung out behind them will be
the other fourteen ships.
The Mayfiower will enter the road

battleships, whose formation will be
a double row. Each vessel will fire
the presidential salute of 81 guns.

Choir, Admiral Evans, the commanders
of the various divisions and the cap
tains OF the .battleships will then
gather on board the presidents yacht
land pay their respects to Mr.. Roose-
welt, who will make an address. This
address is expected to be a memora-
BILE one. as the occasion will be in
ltensely dramatic and the stage set
ting splendid. Whether this cere-
mony is to take place dn the cabin of
the Mayfower or on the deck has not
lyet been determined, but II has been
suggested that 1t would be far more
Impressive and effective II 1t was car
!: ried out within sight OF the $4,000
men who are to make the cruise
II Is believed that the president,
while carefully avoiding anything
that might tend to disturb the rela-
tons OF the United States with any
other country, will take opportunity
: of pressing home to officers and men
the Importance of being always in
readiness to meet any emergency.
Admiral Evans said recently In a
speech at banquet in New York
that he did not know whether the
big fleet was going to the Pacific for
feast, a fight or a frolic: but
whatever 1t was. the American navy
would acquit itself creditably.
The presidents words to the off,
GERS ended. they will return to their
ships. the colors will be dipped and
|, presidential salute fired, and the great
u hunks of steel will weigh anchor and
;. turn their noses toward the Atlantic
on their long voyage to San Fran
;, lcisco.

Had Only Waited For Official
Call for Republican National
Convention to Make Public
Statement of His Position.

Washington, Dec. 12.-PTesident
Roosevelt will not be a candidate for
a third term All doubt on this
point was last night dispelled by au-
thorltative statements from the white
house that Roosevelt still adheres to
the declaration of renunciation made
on the night of the election three
years ago. In statement issued the
president says he has not changed
and shall not change the decision
communicated to the American people
in 1904. II appears that President
Roosevelt had been awaiting the call
for the Republican national conven-
ton to afford proper opportunity for
making his position clear and unmis-
taxable, thus leaving the field clear
for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, KnoN.
Foraker and other declared or pros
pective candidates for the Republican
nomination.
In view OF the issuance of the call
Of the Republican national committee
for the convention, the president
makes the following statement:
"The night after the election I
made the following announcement:
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 t.
do. ! appreciate to the full solemn
responsibility of this confidence i'm
posed upon me, and | shall do all
that in my power lies not TO forfeit 1t.
On the fourth of March next | shall
have served three and a half years
and this and three and half years
constitute my first term. The wise
custom which limits the president to
two terms regards the substance ana
not the form, under no circumstances
will be a candidate for or accept
another term.
II have not changed and shall no.
cbange the decision thus announced.
Bryan Not Surprised.
Lincoln Neb., Dec. 12.-When told
last night that President Roosevelt
had made a positive declaration THAI
Inc will not be candidate for the
third term, w. ]. Bryan expressed NJ
surprise. He declared the position o
the president was as he expected
Bryan said:
81 have assumed from the begin
lining that President Roosevelt woult
not be candidate. The statemen
he issued the night OF the election
left no room for a MISUNDERSTANDING
and have felt that his friends wer'
doing him an injustice in the sugges
ton that he would change his posi-
ton on the subject"
How IL Is Accepted.
Washington. Dec. 12.-Manager
of presidential booms today sa,
Roosevelt's announcement, reiterat
ing his election night declaration
was what was expected and now tn
field is cleared for anybody to g
ahead and win. Some say Clayton

sible for the statement. Others hav

opinion is that Fairbanks and Cor

PRICES WILL ADVANCE
PAPER AND PULP ASSOCIATION
ANNOUNCES THAT PRICES
ARE TO BE ADVANCED.

Chicago, March 13.-1ne general
ly congested condition of the rail-
roads throughout the country and
the resultant shortage Of cars will
cause an advance Of prices on manu-
featured products of the American
Paper and Pulp Association for 1907
and 1908. This was the result OF a
meeting OF the Eastern and Western
members OF the association held here
yesterday.
The manufacturers expressed the
opinion that as business is now active
and prices OF manufactured articles
are Arm, the price is likely to be ad-
vanced because OF both the scarcity
OF raw material and the existing car
shortage. The greatly increased
price OF production during the last
year was also given as a reason for
the advance.
The preservation OF forests was
discussed at length and resolution
was adopted and ordered sent to the
Department OF Agriculture asking
that measures for the protection OF
the lumber producing region be rig
idly enforced.
