A.-Y.-P. Fair Opens
(special, by freight, to the News)


 Seattle. Wash, June 1.-Promptly at 12 o'clock, noon, today, President Will liam H. Taft pressed an electric key in the capitol at Washington, aud the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition was formally opened to guests from every part of the world.
 The opening exercises were con- ducted in the presence of quarter of million people. These impressive ceremonies were held in the immense natural amphitheater on the shores of Lake Washington. The enormous crowd stood silent and awed as the solemn words of invocation were ut tered by the Right Reverend Bishop Edward J. O'Dea, bishop of Seattle. Not a flag or strip of bunting futtered from the thousand flag stafs and domes; the entire exposition city awaited with suppressed eagerness the touch of the Presidents hand.
 With the first stroke of the bell an uouncing the arrival of high noon, the deep sounding whistle from the Uni versity power house taken from the Russian guuboat that announced the transfer of Alaska to the United States years ago, gave response to tue flash from Washingto [, and every wheel of the exposition machinery was set in motion. It was the signal for general pandemonium; from every whistle, bell and siren of the great manufactures and steamers the sound was taken up, and the great throng gave vent to it's withheld enthusiasm. From the top of a giant flag staff 25O feet in height, the largest American flag ever made broke loose and the eX- position city was buried in a cloud of flags, banners and gaily colored bunt- ing.
 Over the blue waters of Elliot bay came the laundering salute of twenty one guns from ships of the American navy, and re echoing this rang back the answering reply from the grim muzzles of the guns of the Mikado.
 The program marking the most i'm portaut happening of general interest ever held in the Northwest was partic- ularly elaborate aud interesting. It's commencement was announced by the firing of the national salute from the guns of mountain battery stationed on the grounds, and this was the signal for the movement of the military march to the general review. This was made up of one thousand regular troops, two batteries of mountain and coast artilleries, two companies of cav airy, battalons of marines aud blue jackets from the navy and two com panies of marines and sailors from the Japanese cruisers Also and Soya. These were drawn up in parade rest just back of the amphitheatre.
 The formal program opened with the playing of Americanna by Inues Band at I1:3O; this was followed by the invo- cation by Bishop O'Dea which was brought to close at the exact minute of twelve.
 The address of welcome was delivered by Director General 1. A. Nadeau and following this the march, "Gloria Washington" the official exposition march, was rendered for the first time in public. Further addresses were made by Hon. Sir. James Bryce, British em bassador to the United States, Hon. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, company, Congress- man Rodenberg, and after these Presi-
