AMERICANS MAKE FORMAL
ENTRY INTO MELBOURNE

Melbourne, Aug. 31.-Formalt en-
try of the Americans into Melbourne
took place today. Admiral Sperry
and his staff landed at the st. Kilda
pier, where they were met by the
prime minister, Alfred Dealsin, the
premier of Victoria, Sir Thomas Bent
and the other members of the COM
monwealth and state ministers.
The other officers of the American
fleet and bluejackets and marines to
the number of more than two thous-
and landed at Port Melbourne pier
at 9:45 a. IN. From that point they
marched, twelve deep, past the Port
Melbourne and South Melbourne town
halls to st. Kilda road the main
southern approach to the city, where
the densest masses of sightseers had
assembled. The school children had
gathered there and formed themselves
into a tableau giving great welcome
to the men. 1t was a blustery day
and clouds of dust somewhat marred
the spectacle but Notwithstanding the
threat OF rain, the city never had
such crowded streets.
The dominant feeling since the ar
rival of the fleet has been deep and
universal spirit of fraternlzatlor
which has permeated all classes and
creeds. Thousands were astir and 10y
the time the procession passed they
occupied the points of vantage fol
miles of the route. From Princes
bridge the line of march took its way
to the treasury and thence on to the
exhibition building. All of the build
ings were ablaze with color. Flag'
hung everywhere and streamers IL
profusion stretched across the streets
windows, balconies and roofs were
thronged.
1t was more like a triumph marcf
than a parade of visiting sailors; the
fervor of the Australians welcome
was almost indescrlbable. The exhi
bition building was reached at 1915
p. m. when a public reception was
held in honor of the officers anc
men by Lord Northeote, the COVER
nor general and Sir Thomas Gibson
Carmichael, after which the visitors
were entertained at luncheon.

Party'S Defeat in Nation,

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased WireI
New York, Aug. SO.--The outcome
of the election Tuesday in Vermont
is awaited with keen interest at the
headquarters of the republican and
democratic national committees in
this city. The showing made in this
state In the matter of the number of
voters who so to the polls and the
gains or losses to either party in
comparison with the vote of four years
ago will influence in no small degree
the shaping of the camapigr in all
of the eastern states. There is a
tradition that when the republican
majority for Vermont falls below 25,-
600 in presidential year the DEM
ocracy triumphs in the nation the fol-
lowing November.
1t is conceded that the republican
party will win, but il the plurality
Is reduced by reason of republican
apathy, then it will stir that party
to renewed energy in trying to arouse
enthusiasm and interest in the east.
Overconhdence on the part of the
republicans in the east is the thing
which the managers Of the national
committee are trying to guard against
President Roosevelt is reported to
have told the officials OF the congress
sional committee who called on him
at oyster Bay a few days ago that
the way to prevent political apathy

to keep it out of political headquar-
ters. 1t is likely therefore, that the
