Midado's realm over, Secretary OF War
Taft will sail from here at 10 O'Clock
tonight, continuing the itinary he has
mapped out for his world tour.
The secretary is at KiOto today. His
entertainment there is almost wholly
social of its character, the visitor having
completed his conferences with the rep
resentatives of japanese officialdom by
his departure from Toxic last night.
Many high japanese civil and military
officials still accompany him, however.
Commercial and other interests are also
well represented in his retinue. Alto
gether, ae attentions shown him have
been nothing short of regal. They will
continue even after be leaves Japanese
soil, arrangements having been made
for grand harbor display as the Min
uesota sails With his party from Kobe.
The secretary's lsst formal visit in
Toxic was at tie residence of Prince
Fushimi, the elder, where was a dis-
custom of plans for the japanese inter
national exposition to be held in 1912.
Mr.. Taft assured the Prince that the
japanese can safely count on a grand
American display.
Earlier in the day the Taft party had
a tw0-hour's audience with the Emperor
The visitors we're entertained at an
elaborate luncheon. The Emperor asked
many questions concerning President
RDosevelts health, conditions in Ameri-
ca and especially relative to matters in
which the japanese residents are in
teresied. The ruler closed The CONVEX
sation with warm expressions of his
friendship for the United States,
Between the visits TO the Imperial
Palace aud Prince Fushimi the members
of the Taft party we're entertained by
the Crown Prince and Princess.
The party were taken on board the
Minnesota in special launches this after

TIE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

The President in his speech at s..
Louis yesterday, among other things sale
The tendency toward the complete
abandonment Of the system of water
transportation is not healthy and will not
be permanent.
The Constitution is now and must re-
main what it always has beer; but it can
only be Interpreted as the interests of
the whole people demand, if Interpreted
as living organism, designed to NEE,
the conditions of life and not of death.
| believe that the nation has the whole
governmental power over interstate com
inerce and the widest discretion In deal
ing with that subject.
The American people will not tolerate
the happy-go-lucky system of no con-
troll over the great interstate railroads,
with the insolent and manifold abuses
which have so generally accompanied
il.
Personally firmly believe that there
should be nationsl legislation to control
all industrial corporations doing an in
terstate business, including the control
OF the output of their securities.
! am not pleading for an extension OF
constitutional power ! am pleading
that constitutional power which slresdV
exists shall be applied to new conditions
which did not exist when the constitu-
ton went into being.
Capitalization has already taken place
10 the world of commerce and industry.
All | ask is that the national govern
ment Look this fact 10 the face and ac-
cept it as fact.
Our feet is going to its own h)me
waters in the Pacific, and afer q stsy
there i will return 10 its own home
waters 10 the Atlantic.

Cairo, Ill, Oct. 3.-President Roose-
yelts trip down the Mississippi to Cairo
was one Of the ovations which began soon
after be left St. Louis and continued
until late Last night. The oyatiOns we're
resumed early today.
On the steamer Alton, last night, the
President was the guest of honor at a
dinner given also to the members OF the
Iuland Waterways Commission by ST..
Louis men. He was transferred from
the Mississippi to the Alton in mid
stream. At Cape Girardesu early this
morning the citiz3ns who had been
awakened by booms we're lined on the
river bank and cheered the President
as the pageant passed by.
The party made good time coming
down the river. The President was
driven from the wharf where the steamer
landed to st. Msry's Hall, where Mayor
George Parsons in troducsd Governor
Deneen, who in turn introduced the
President to the people.
The President spoke Of the section be
was visiting as the heart of the great
west-or the middle west, SIS 1t is called
and referred to the fact that i; had
produced Lincoln, while a short dis
tancs farther south Andrew Jackson had
been born. BE said:
at is Curious and amusing TO think
that even IS genuine lover OF bis kind,
man normally so free from national
pre- JUDGES as Charles Dickens, should
have selected the region where we are
now stand ng as the seat OF his forlorn
Eden, the New Thermopoly,ss he called
it, in Martin Chuzzlewit. The country
he so bitterly sssailed is now one Of the
most fertile and productive portions OF
one OF the most fertile and productive
agricultural territories in all the world,
and the jewellers in this territory repre-
sent higher average of comfort, in
telligence, and sturdy capacity for self-
government than the people in any tract
OF like extent in any other continent"
Most of the Presidents speech was in
regard to matters be had touched on be-
fore, aud he repeated his belief in big
navy and promised to do all rssible to
aid the Waterway Commission in its work6
After speaking the President left for
Memphis at IL a. m.
On the way to Caire The President
made a statement in an impromptu
speech that was taken as a reiteration of
hls determination to refuse third term.
In his speech Mr.. Roosevelt declared
himself 10 favor Of nation that would
be "decent and game-decent in its
conduct towards other powers, but SUI
ficiently game to stard up aud fight to
maintain its self-respect, and with a navy
sufficient to back up its gameness.

can be selected than the Virginia State
Fair where will be assembled thousands
of people from various parts Of the

THURSDAY EVENING. OFT. 8. 1907

THE PROPOSED paving On King street
from Fave. to the corporation line has
bean the means of disclosing the fact
that The city limits are about 40 feet
mere west of Peylon on King street
than hes bee1 claimed. The various old
city maps indicate only about 255 feet
ives, of Peyton street, whereas careful
eurvey makes the distance SO4 feet. The
civ charter thus describes the corPo-
ration limits:
Be it enacted b. the General Assembly
Of Virginia, That the limits Of the City
of Alexandra shall be as follows: Be-
ginning on the Potomac river at point
distant northerly in the direction OF
Fairfax street, five hundred ard ninety
FIVE feet nineinclies from the north line
Of Montgomery street, as now established
in said city, and extending into SAID
river. and running thence westerly and
psrsllel with said north line TO point
Al ehich this course will interstct line
one hundred and twenty-three feet
five inches west Of, and running par
allel TO, the western line of West street
as now established, when extend
ed; thence southerly parallel with
West street, to the north line OF
Cameron street, as now established;
thence westerly in the direction of the
north line of Cameron street, extending
10 point in line with the west line OF
the lot of the lste Francis Peyton, on
which be resided; thence southerly,
pafallel with West street, to the south
lice oi King street, extended; thence IN
. straight line to point in the line d.
yjd,ag the cosulies of Fsirfsx and
Alrxandria from each other, ten feet
vest of Hoof's run; thence sou'herly
with said line into the Potomac river;
thence up the said river TO the beginning.
Il would seem that the farthest point
north on the extreme west would be st
Pegton's line on that side Of The city, on
Cameron street. II is claimed that the
city boundary at this point extending IN
a 5irect line south to the south line OF
King street, as provided for in the chart
e., brings into the corporation limits
yersl lots measuring about 40 feet
These lots never have been assessed IN
tn city and the owners decline to pay
the stree, assessments However this
ma he, the property owners Will have
the benefit of the Improved pavement il
they sgree to pay, and will not have
the paving ,hould they decline to pay.
This will not in any way affect the as
sessing of tie property in the city, for
beth State and city purposes, If it is
clearly shown that the city line is SO4
feet teyond Peyton on King street.
