dent, Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb,
and few invited guests, came to an
chor, and the president received on
board flag officers of the Atlantic fleet
and foreign flag and commanding Off
GERS. subsequently all proceeded to
| the landing at the exposition grounds.
Tonight the fleets will be illuminated
with thousands of incandescent bulbs.
The day opened cloudy, but soon the
sun shone forth, and strong breeze
from the southeast drove the cloud
banks beyond the horizon, leaving
clear sky.
Hard to Control Vast Crowd.
Roosevelt began his address at noon.
That he might be better seen and heard
he mounted a table, which raised him
high above the heads of the vast au-
dience. He was greatly concerned by
the danger in the crowd to women and
children, and speaking at the top Of his
voice, he earnestly requested the peo-
pie to refrain from crowding. He
called attention to the fact that there
were women and children in front, and
said: IF there is one thing that marks
body of Americans, especially a
body of Virginians, it is that they take
good care of the women and children.
This had the effect of stopping the
danger for the time, but it was not long
before the peoples enthusiasm again
swept away all semblance Of order, and
General Grant sent a squad of cavalry
out in the throng. This move, it is be-
lieved. is all that saved the immense
gathering from breaking thru the ropes
aP N which event
there might have been many casualties.
A broiling sun poured down on the
distinguished guests seated in the front
row of the grand stand, and the presi-
dent commanded them to keep their
hats on. Members Of the diplomatic
corps, all uncovered in the presence of
the president, attracted his attention,
and, singing out the French ambassa-
dor, he said, put on your hat Mr.. JUS
serund / won't have you get sun
stroke" AS the audience laughed, the
president joined in. remarking he was
obliged to take care of the hygenic
conditions
The Presidents reference to his visit
to the foreign warships and American
navy was turned in an 1mpromptu
manner upon the recent gathering in
New York to discuss the world politics.
He held up peace and righteousness
as virtue and blessing that go hand
in hand. He said if the time ever
comes when the world must choose be-
tween them, the shame to it If 1t
chooses peace" The thought for this
expression was accredited to the Bible,
which the President said contained a
good deal of sound reading that would
not be out Of place in a peace confer
ence. This sentiment was cheered to
echo. The president then took up his
prepared address.
[The Presidents address appears in
another column.l
