to President Roosevelt

Norfolk, Va. President Roosevelt,
the diplomatic, military and naval rep
resentatives of thirty-seven nations
and the Governors of score of States
participated today in the opening ex'
ercises of the jamestown Tercenten
NAL Exposition. While the exposition
which is to remain open until Nov,
30, is still far from complete, the un'
finished condition of the buildings and
grounds was not allowed to interfere
with today's celebration of the 300th
anniversary of the first English settle.
ment in America. From the firing Of
sunrise salute of 300 guns by the Unit
ed States Army through the pictur
esque review of the international fleet
OF war vessels in Hampton Roads, the
ceremonies of dedication at which tho
President spoke, and down to late
hour when the Chief Executive went
aboard the naval yacht Sylph to spend
the night, the day was crowded with
notable incidents.
Not the least impressive of the
days events was the action of the
President in assuming command of
the situation in front of the crowded
grandstand when panic seized the
surging throng. Pressed against the
guard ropes by thousands of eager
persons in the rear, the lives and
limbs of those who had the more fav.
ored positions were endangered
The crowd needed the Presidents
warning first, but when he had settled
down into his speech the immense au-
dience became uneasy again and those
on the outside began to- press; forward
once more in their anxiety to;.catch
the words which were being borne away
tn the blistering summer wind. The
President was interrupted and mount
ed officers and men, of the United
States cavalry and artillery We're
called in to take charge.
Apparently oblivious to the unusual
position he occunied on top of a some
what shaky table, not more than two
feet wide and not more than twice
that in length, the President spoke
with yigor. Some Of his remarks, no
ltably when he touched upon the re.
cent peace congress in New York,
were addressed to the representatives
of the Nations, others were empha-
sized to the soldiers and sailors who
took such a conspicuous part in the
days program, and others were di'
rected toward the general public
There were outbursts of applause and
cheering. Especially when reference
ives made to the gallantry of the men
who fought in the Civil War-beneath
the banners of the North or the cross
barred flag of the Confederacy, waa

ENCAMpMENT IN JULY.


Austin, Tex: Preliminary arrange
ments are being made by the adjutant
generals office for the annual encamp
ment to be held this year in Austin
1t has been decided that the encamp
ment will be held some time during
the month of July. About sixty organ,
izations, comprising $500 men, will
take part in the encampment. The
Legislature this year appropriated $40,
600 to be used for the encampment TO-.
two years. This is $4,000 less than
the department has had for the two
preceding years. Arrangements arc
being made for the use of horses foA
the troops to be here this summer,
The troops of the regular army sta,
toned in Texas will probably not take
an active part in the maneuvering, as
the encampment, as far as the Federal
troops last year were concerned, was
not looked upon by the department
fayorably. A small number of the
United States troops will, of course
participate.

FIRE AT ELKTON.
Powers Foundry Plant Damaged
Farm Buildings Destroyed.

The roof of the main building OF
Powers Foundry plant, at Elk,
ton, was discovered to be on fire
early Thursday morning of last
week, by Roger Witworth, who
lives in close proximity and was
aroused by the noise made by the
flames. He gave the alarm and
Singerly Fire Company responded.
Some delay in getting stream of
water on the flames was occasioned
by the fact that the pressure from
the main was not sufficient to force
a stream upon the roof and the
steamer was hurried to the scene
and put into service. The fire
started in the cupalo and spread to
the roof and interior of the build
ing, but was soon under control
when thu fremen got streams
upon it.
A peculiar thing was that the
fire was not discovered by the night
operator In the signal tower, within
a few feet of the building, the
watchman, nor the railroad cross
ing tender. The loss is estimated
at $2,000,. which is covered by in
surance in the Citizens Mutual of
Elkton, and the Springfield Fire
and Marine Insurance Company of
Massachusetts.
The large barn and a number of
outbuildings on the farm of John
M. Tucker, near Elkton, tenanted
by Reese George, were destroyed
by fire Monday night, together
with a quantity Of hay, farming
implements and phosphate. The
loss, which is estimated at about
So, 800, is covered by insurance to
the amount of 81, ,45O. The barn
contained over 80 head of cattle at
the time the fire broke out, but all
the live stock was saved. The
origin of the fire is mystery.
