Weather.--Secretary Lane Ad-
dresses Vast Throne.

It filled the grand stands, 1t packed
the great courts and concourses, 1t
poured through the aisles, 1t over
flowed from the sidewalks into the
avenues, from the hills to the bay, as
far as the eye could reach, in unend-
ing rivers of bobbing heads.
The day broke threatening and
rainy, but by sunset there was scarce
ly a cloud in the sky. One shower
fell during the dedicatory exercises
AS President Wilson opened the ex-
position with the touch Of q button In
the White House the suns long slant
ing rays glinted in a miniature rain
bow through the squirting streams OF
the Fountain Of Energy, that moment
unleashed. Flags of all the nations
rose on manifold poles and pinnacles.
Signal bombs were detonated from
towers.
The dedicatory ceremonies were
made as simple and short as possible.
The citizens, headed by Governor Hi
ram w. Johnson and Mayor James
Rolph, Jr., representing the state and
the city. were welcomed to the
grounds by the officers and directors
of the exposition and officers Of the
federal government. Addresses were
delivered by President c. c. Moore of
the exposition; DR.. Frederick j. ".
Skiff, director in chief; Governor
Johnson, Secretary Lane and a few
others. Invocations and benedictions

AWAITS RESULTS CALMLY.
United States VIII Stand Firm on
Its Warning to England.

Washington.-The United States
government probably will make no re,
ply, for the present at least, to the
British or German notes respecting

war zone about the British isles. but
will stand firmly on it's warning
