The great feature of the Traus-Mis
stssippl exposition on the 12th was the
visit of the president of the United
States, who spent tho entire day on
the grounds. Soon after the urrlval
the nation's chief executive was con
ducted to the Plaza, and after an in
vocation by Hcv. John McQoid, of the
First Methodist church, Omaha, spoke
to tho vast assembly as follows:
Gentlemen of the Trans-MIsslsslppI
Exposition and Fellow Citizens: It Is
with genuine pleasure that I meet
once more the people of Omaha, whose
wealth of welcome Is not altogether
unfamiliar to me and whose warm
hearts have before touched and moved
me. For this renewed manifestation
of your regard and for the cordial re
ception of today my heart responds
with profound gratitude und a deep
appreciation which I cannot conceal,
and which tho language of compliment
is Inadequate to convey. My greeting
Is not alone to your city and the state
of Nebraska, but to the people of all
the states of the Trans-Mlssiisslppl
group participating here, and I cannot
withhold congratulations on the evi
dences of their prosperity furnished
by this great exposition. If testimony
were neoded to establish the fact that
their pluck haH not deserte.d them, and
that prosperity Is again with them,
It Is found here. This picture dispels
all doubt.
In the age of expositions they have
added yet another magnificent exam
ple. The historical celebrations at
Philadelphia and Chicago, and the
splendid exhibits at New Orleans, At
lanta and Nashville, are now a part of
the past, and yet In Influence they still
live, and their beneficent results are
closely Interwoven with our national
development. Similar rewards will
honor the authors and patrons of the
Trans-MIsslsslppI and International
Exposition. Their contribution will
mark another epoch in the nation's
material advancement.
One of the great laws of life is pro
gress. and nowhere have the principles
of this law been so strikingly Illus
trated as in the United States. A cen
tury and a decade of our national life
have turned doubt Into conviction;
changed experiment into demonstra
tion; revolutionized old methods and
won new triumphs which have chal
lenged the attention of the world. This
Is true not only of the accumulation of
material wealth and advance In edu
cation, science. Invention and manu
factures, but above ell In the oppor
tunities to tbe people for their own
elevation, which have been secured by
wise free government.
Hitherto, In peace and In war, with
additions to our territory and slight
changes In our laws, we have steadily
enforced t o spirit of the constitution
secured to us by the noble self-sacri
fice and far-seeing sagacity of our an
cestors. We have avoided the tempta
tions of conquest In the spirit of gain.
With an Increasing love for our in
stitutions and an abiding faith In their
stability, we have made the triumphs
of our system of government In toe
progress and tbe prosperity of our peo
ple an inspiration to the whole human
race. Confronted at this moment by
new and grave problems, we must
recognize that their solution will affect
not ourselves alone, but others of the
ramiiy or nations.
In this age of frequent Interchange
and mutual dependency, we cannot
shirk our International responsibili
ties If wo would; they must be met
with courage and wisdom and we must
follow duty even if desire opposes. No
deliberation can be too mature, or self
control too constant, In this solemn
hour of our history. We must avoid
the temptation of undue agression,
and aim to secure only such results
as will promote our own and the gen
eral good.
It has been said by some one that
the normal condition of nations Is
war. That Is not true of the United
States. We never enter upon war until
every effort for peace without It has
been exhausted. Ours has never been
a military government. Peace, with
whose blessings we have been so sin
gularly favored, is the national desire,
and the goal of every American aspi
ration.
On the 25th of April, for the first
time for more than a generation, the
United States sounded the call to arms.
The banners of war were unfurled;
the best and bravest front every section
responded; a mighty army was en
rolled; the north and the south vied
with each other In patriotic devotion;
science was Invoked to furnish Its
most effective weapons; factories were
rushed to supply equipment, the youth
and veteran Joined Hi freely offering
their service* to their country; volun
teers and regulars and all the people
rallied to the support of the republic.
There was no break In the line, no
halt in the march, no fear in the heart.
No resistance to the oatrlotlc Impulse
at home, no successful resistance to
the patriotic spirit of tba troops fight
ing hi distant water* or on a foreign
shore!
What a wonderful experience It haa
been from the atandnolut of patriotism
and achievement! The storm broke ao
suddenly that It wav hers almost be
fore we realised It, Our navy was too
small, though forceful with Its mod
ern equipment and moat fortunate In
Ha trained officers and sailors. Our
army had years ago been reduced to a
peace footing. We bad only 19,000
available troops when the war waa
declared, but the account which offi
cere and tueu gave of ihemaelve* on
the battlefields has never been sur
passed The manhood was there and
everywhere Am*r an patriotism was
then and Its resources were limitless
The courageous *nd Invincible spirit
t*f the people proved glorious, and
those who were a little more than a
third at a century ago divided and nt
war with each other were again united
under the holt standsru of liberty
i'auiotUra bauuhed s ure> feeling.
$50,000,000 for the national defense
was appropriated without debate or
division, as a matter of course, and as
only a mere indication of our mighty
reserve power.
Hut if tills Is true of the beginning
of the war, what snail we say of it
now, with hostKItles suspended, and
peace near at hand, as we fervently
hope? Matchless In Its results! Un
equaled in Its completeness and the
quick succession with which victory
followed victory! Attained earlier
than It was believed to be possible;
comprehensive tu Its sweep that every
thoughtml man feels the weight of
responsibility which has been so sud
denly thrust upon us. And above all
and beyond all, the valor of the Amer
ican army and the bravery of the
Amerean navy and the majesty of th®
American name stand forth In unsul
lied glory, while the humanity of our
purposes and the magnanimity of our
conduct have given to war, always hor
rible, touches of noble generosity,
t'hrlstlun sympathy und charity, and
examples of human grandeur wnieh
can never be lost to mankind. I’asslon
and bitterness formed no part of our
Impelling motive, and It In gratifying
to feel that humanity triumphed at
every step of the war’s progress.
The heroes of Manila and Hantlago
and Porto Rico have made Immortal
history. They are worthy successors
and descendants of Washington and
Greene; of Paul Jones, Decatur and
Hull, and of Grant, Hhermnn, Sheridan
and lx>gan; of Farragut. Porter
and Cushing, and of Dee, Jackson und
Dongstreet.
New names stand out on the honor
roll of the nation's great men and with
them unnamed stand the heroes of the
trenches and the forecastle, Invinci
ble In battle and uncomplaining In
death. The Intelligent, loyal Indom
itable soldier and sal!or and marine,
regular and volunteer, are entitled to
equal praise us having done their
whole duty, whether at home or under
the baptism of tire.
Who will dim the splendor of thelT
achievements! Who will withhold
from them their well earned distinc
tion! Who will Intrude detraction at
this time to belittle the manly spirit
of the American youth and Impair the
usefulness of the —raerloan army! Who
will embarrass the government by sow
ing seeds of dissatisfaction among the
brave men who stand ready to serve
and die. If need tie, for their country!
Who will darken the counsels of the
republic In this hour requiring the
united wisdom of all!
Hnali we deny ourselves what the
rest of the world ao freely and so
Justly accords to us? The men who
endured In the short but decisive
struggle Its Hardships, its privations,
whether in Held or camp, on ship or in
the siege, and planned and achieved
Its victories, will never tolerate Im
peachment, either direct or Indirect,
of those wno won a peace whose great
gain to civilization is yet unknown
and unwritten.
The faith of a Cnrlstlan nation rec
ognizes the hand of Almighty God In
the ordeal through which we have
passed. Divine favor seemed manifest
everywhere. In flighting for human
ity’s sake we have been signally bless
ed. We did not seek war. To avoid
It, if this could be done In justice and
honor to the rights of our neighbors
and ourselves, was our constant pray
er. The war was no more Invited by
us than were the questions which are
laid at our door by Its results. Now,
as then, we will do our duty. The
problems will not be solved In a (lay.
Patience will be required; patience
combined with sincerity of purpose
and unshaken resolution to do tight,
seeking only the highest good of the
nation and recognizing no other ob
ligation, pursuing no other path but
that of duty.
Itlght action follows right purpose.
We may not at all times be able to di
vine the future, the way may not al
ways seem clear; hut If our aims are
high Bnd unselfish, somehow and In
some way the right end will be reach
ed. The genius of the nation. Its free
dom, its wisdom. Its humanity. Its
courage, its Justice, favored by Divine
Providence, will make It equal to every
task and the master of every emer
gency.

NO PANIC AMONG THE CREW.
—
I.lf* Host* W«« Driven Dark by the
Dale—Perfect Order In the Crew of
the Wrecked Velvet Survivor* Ilruieed
on the It Kike.
Falmouth. Kngland, Oct. 17. The
British steamer Mohegan, Captain
OrlfHths, belonging to the Atlantic
Transport company, lias been wreaked
in the vicinity of the Lizard, between
the Manaclas and tiie Lowland*. It is
believed ttiat about sixty-eight of her
passenger* anil crew were drowned.
Only 100 survivors have readied tiie
shore.
The Mohegan was formerly the Cleo
patra of the Wilson und Kurnuits
Leyland line. She left l,ondoii for
Mew York Thursday, having on board,
so far as can lie ascertained at present,
fifty-nine passengers and a crew of 115
officers anil men.
Tiie general opinion is that the
machinery of tiie Mohegau became dis
abled during tiie heavy easterly gale,
which was blowing, and that sho ran
ashore nml foundered. A number of
tugs, which put out from this port to
tiie assistance of the Mohegan, were
compelled to return without approach
ing tiie vessel, owing to the severity of
the weather.
A lifeboat landed thirty-ons of the
passengers and crew of tiie Mohegan.
One of tiie passengers, a woman, died
lifter she was brought ashore. An
other life boat later landed sixteen
more survivors. As tlio day wore on
further reports received hero allowed
that forty-five survivor* of tiie Mohe
gan were landed at Port lioustock,
Cornwall, and the bodies of five dead
persons had been recovered. Then
came the announcement that fourteen
of the crew of the wrecked steamer
had been found alive on the rock* near
the scene of the disaster.
Tiie reports received as to the num
ber of survivors are extremely contra
dictory. It is possible that the forty

n*n nui titvi * uv i t/i v iii/uu n isinajr
be those rescued In the two journeys
which the life-boat at that place made
to the wreck. This would increase
the number lost to at least 113. home
of the rescued persons died froip ex
haustion after landing. Everything
possible is doing to secure a correct
list of the drowned and survivors.
One of the survivors of the Mohegan,
Mr. George Maule of New York, after
he had sufficiently recovered to be able
to tell the story of the wreck, said: “1
am a shipper of horses employed by
the American Transport company.
We left London Thursday end all went
well until 7 o’clock yesterday evening,
when most of the passengers were at
dinner. The steamer was going at
full speed and suddenly we hoard a
loud crash, which seemed to show that
we had collided with some other ves
sel. Hut when we rushed on deck we
found the Mohegan was upon the rooks
In the vicinity of the Lizard.
“Orders were given immediately to
lower the boats, and the crew of the
Hteamer behaved like heroes. Her cap
tain stood upon the bridge and the
greatest order prevailed among the of
ficers and crew.
“The steamer, however, immediately
began to settle by the head. Two
boats were launched. The women were
sent away in the first bout. Hut
whether these bouts reached laud 1 do
not know.
“I managed to secure a life belt and
jumped overboard in company with the
chief officer of the Mohegan, Mr.
Couch. He made me take off iny coat
and shoes. Soon after that wo were
pnrted from each other. When 1 was
leaving the vessel a little girl begged
piteously that 1 try to save her, as she
did not want to die yet. 1 was power
less to help her.
“Eventually 1 caught hold of a plank
which was floating upon the water and
1 clung to it for seven and u half hours.
At the end of that time I was picked
up by a tug. I could not nave lasted
much longer.
“1 cannot exp'aln how the accident
occiii red. The whole matter is not
very clear to me."
From other sources it was learned
that the Mohegan sank about twenty
minutes after she ran upon the rocks.
The local seamen who have been inter
viewed upon the subject, appaar un
able to explain how the Mohegan got
into such a position.
One of the passengers reseuod by the
Port Houstock lifeboat saya that all
the passengers were dining when the
catastrophe occurred, though some of
the children and those who were sea
sick were in their bunks. Huddeuly
the Mohegan struck with a grating
noise. At first the engineers thought
this was caused by coal failing down
in the bunkers, but a second shuck fol
lowed aud the Uiat began W> settle. A
coast guardsiuau who was on duty at
t'overaot says he noticed the Mohegan
was pursuing a dangerous course.
William Mam, a seaman of the
M ohegan. balungiug tu Limlun, was
among the tueu who succeeded In ;
reaching Port Houstock He said the |
vessel struck forward on the starUiard !

Ihuseawoa thin running heavily
and the UfetMat waa nearly full of ,
water, and after escaping two or three
rocks she was dashed to pieces. Moore
and Ilitsoh wore washed ashore.
A. Orosmith, a first cabin passenger,
who says ho belongs to Guilford, but
had been engaged in fanning in tho
United States for the last ten years, is
another of the surrivers. lie said:
"During the panic l jumped overboard
and swam about an hour, 1 reached a
rock and tried to climb upon It, but
the waves were too strong for me. 1
afterwards found a raft with a sail on
it and I held up the sail with one arm
and floated toward the shore.
"While on tho raft 1 was washed
right over ono rock. Happily, I had
on a life belt ami recovered the raft,
which then struck another rock, to
which I held fast for some time. After
wards 1 swam ssiiore, tho land beiug
only a short distance away from tho
rock to which I was clinging."
All the survivors are in a pitiable
condition and some of them have been
badly injured by waves and rocks and
arc suffering from bruises and torn
and fractured limbs.
Only the smokestack and mast of tho
Mohegan can be seen above water.
The Mohegnu is a single-screw steel
vessel of 4,510 tons register, 4HO feet
long, fifty-two feet in beam and about
thirty-six feet iu depth of hold. Hhe
had accommodations for 1*5 passengers
and a capacity for 700 cattle. (She is
one of the fivo vessels recently pur
chase:! from tho Wilson and Furncss
Lcvland lino by the Atlantic Trans
port company to replace tho Mohawk,
Mobile, Massachusetts, Michigan and
Mississippi, which wero sold to the
United States government to be used
as transports.
The Lizard is the southernmost point
in England. Jt is at the extreme
southwest of tho island, lying just
across from the Land's End in South
ern Cornwall. It is about 400 miles
from Ixmdon by water.
Htvphrn Crsns'i Will Missing.
London, (lot, 1 .—A crowd gathered
to-day at the London office of the At
lantic Transport company to which
the wrecked steamer Mohcgan lie
longed. A number of woman fainted
there when the extent of the calamity
became known and there was a con
stant stream of telograph boys run
ning to and from the office.
Among those who are still missing
are Mrs. 8. C. Crane, believed to lie the
wife of 8tephen Crane, the novelist,
and Mr. J. Ifyslop, who la believed to
be the official moseurer of the Now
York Yacht club.
Miss Kondburn la the American op
eratic singer, who is professionally
known as Maud Rounds. 8he tele
graphed to a relative In lamdon to
day, saying: "Hhip wrecked. Mother
dead."
The Mohcgan, It Is now said, ho#
been unlucky from the start It is
added that she was bought by the
Transport company when its own
boats had been sold to the United
Htatos government during the war.
She had mode only one voyagu out and
home. That, It is asserted,
whs most unsatisfactory, anil tho
friends of the crew now say
that her engines wore defective and
that her boilers leaked. 8he is further
alleged to have arrived In New York
in such a condition that she was sent
home empty. Her return voyage took
several weeks, during which aha
drifted a whole dsy and night owing
to trouble with her engines.
For the last two weeks the steamer
has been in dock undergoing repairs,
but the managers say she was in per
fect condition when she left port on
this, her first voyage under her now
name. It Is assorted, however, that la
a twenty-four hour trial last week,
her performances were very unsatis
factory and the c:.nv did not wish to
go on her on account of the previous
defect in her ongiues. It is surmised
here that her engines broke down and
thut the vessel, in the rough sea and
heavy gale, drifted upon tho rocks.
Tho wrecked steamer was command
ed by Captain Urlftiths. Kerchief offi
cer was Mr. Couch, her second officer
Mr. Cole sad her third officer Mr.
Kindmarsh.
