PRESIDENT. PRESSED BUTTON
In the White House at Washington
.Was an Ejeotric Key That Connected -
ed With the Machinery In Portland.
Oration by Fairbanks.
Portland , Ore. , Juno 1. The Lewis
mid * Clark centennial cxitosltlon , com
memorating ( ho lOfJth anniversary of
the exploration of the Oregon conn-
try by an expedition coinniandcd by
Cnpts. Mcrhvether Lewis and William
Clark , was opened today. The build
ings , of which there tire a score of
considerable size' , are complete In
every detail and most of the exhibits
arc ready for Inspection.
The official hour for the commence
ment of the exorcises was 1 o'clock ,
at which time the officials of the exposition -
position , state commissioners and dl > ,
'
tingnishedfguests assembled on t'
lake front. Long before this time the
grounds wore filled with nearly half E
the population of Portland and the
remainder apparently was thronging
'to ' the exposition grounds. To the
many thousands of the local popula
tion were added many more who came
,
in on excursion trains last night and
this morning.
The first demonstration of the day
was a big parade about the grounds ,
in which military , civic and spectac
ular features wore the attractions.
Many bands were In the procession
and thousands afoot and on horse
back added to the attractiveness of
the pageant. Following the parade
were .the open air exercises held on
the shore of Guild's lake. /
On the shore of the lake a stand had
been erected for the speakers and
seats provided for the listeners.
Promptly at the time set the assem
blage was called to order by Presi
dent H. W. Geode of the exposition ,
who requested the audience to rise
while the Right Hevorand David H.
Moore , Methodist Episcopal bishop of
Oregon , delivered the invocation. Af
ter the march "Imperial Oregon" had
.
been played by limes' band , President (
Geode , as the chief executive of the
exposition , delivered an address , at
tne concaisiun m. mvii m.ni. . , , , , , , , , .
Vice Presi'lp'it Fairbanks as the chief
speaker of ( .lie day. The vice presi
dent's address reviewed at length
the achievements of the Pacillc north
west country since its first explora
tion by Lewis and Clark and spoke of
the Importance of the exposition to
this section and to the nation at large.
Loud applause followed the conclusion
of the vice president's remarks.
Addresses followed' by United
States Senator Clarence D. Clark of
Wyoming and Congressman .T. A. Taw-
ney of Minnesota. Mayor Williams
welcomed the visitors on behalf of
the City of Portland , and Governor
Chamberlain extended greeting for
the state of Oregon.
At the conclusion of the speeches
greetings were exchanged between
President Roosevelt and President
Geode and the exposition was de
clared to be formally opened. The
\ speaker's stand was electrically con
nected with the white house and
President Roosevelt "pressed the but
ton" that started the wheels. In the
machinery hall and thus actually
opened the great exposition. The
messages exchanged were full of
good feeling and Interest and showed
the most thorough accord of the people
ple of this section with the chief ex
ecutive.
A marvelous transformation fol
lowed the telegraphic signal. Operat
ors hero were waiting for the re
sponse from the white house , and as
quickly as It came they touched the
keys which released the fastenings of
the thousands of banners on the staffs
on the roofs of all the large exhibit
palaces. Simultaneously with the un
furling of the Hags all the bands burst
forth In melody , and from the chimes
In the tower of the government build
ing pealed the strains "America. " Ev
ery man In the great crowd uncov
ered , and when the last strain of the
martial song had died away the ex
ercises were brought to an end with
a divine benediction pronounced by
Archbishop Christie. The great en
terprise upon which the people of
Portland had lavished hundreds of
thousands of dollars and expended un
limited time and energy was at last
an accomplished fact.

gally fencing approximately 7,500
acres of public lands some twelve or
more miles northeast of Alliance.
At the outset the attorneys for the

unlawful. " As to the main part of

deliberating for some hours , over
ruled the motion , but sustained it as
far as It related to some minor counts
In the bill. The court's action had

WILL SUCCEED PAUL MORTON AS
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
LATTER MAKES A STATEMENT
Will Leave Cabinet on the First of
July , and Assume Management of
the New York Subway System No
Other Cabinet Changes Likely.
Washington , Juno 1. President
I Roobevolt authorized the announce
men ! that Charles J. Bonaparte of
Baltimore , Md. , would bo appointed
secretary of the navy to succeed
Paul Morton , who earlier In the day
stated IIP would retire July 1 , to go
to New York to take charge of thu
plans for the construction of the sub
way system for operation in connec
tion.twlth the surface lines. The
president said that no other changes
in the personnel of the cabinet were
likely. Secretary Shaw has already
Indicated his intention of retiring
from the cabinet , probably next Feb
ruary. Rumors of the retlrement'of
Attorney General Moody have been
published , but It Is understood to bo
his intention to continue In the cab
inet for a year and a half , and per
haps longer.
To all except President Roosevelt's
closest advisers the selection of Mr.
Bonaparte as the head of the navy
department came as a distinct sur-
jrlse , although It had been determined
nn by the president for some time in
anticipation of Mr. Morton's re tiro-
wont. In all the gossip Mr. Ilona-
has not been suggested as Mr
ilorton's possible successor. For
aaany years Mr. Bonaparte has boon
23 Intimate friend of the president.
$ o great is President Roosevelt's con
fidence in him that on many matters
St national concern he has sought his
advice. To determine accurately the
3ogal phases of the postal frauds , the
president designated Mr. Bonaparte
and Holmes Conrad to investigate the
Subject , and on their report he took
aclslve action without hesitation.
Eminent as a lawyer and as a pub
licist and a constant advocate of civil
service reform , Mr. Bonaparte has
not been supposed to have more than
an academic Interest In the navy. In
the upbuilding of the navy he Is
known to bo In perfect accord with
the president and doubtless will carry
Into effect the views of Mr. Roosevelt
velt In the strengthening of the naval
establishment.
Mr. Morton's announcement of his
expected retirement followed a con
ference with the president , lasting
about an hour. It had been stated
with authority that Mr. Morton would
retire July 1 , provided the president
would accept his resignation frcm
Wiat date. When ho retires he will
have rounded out exactly ono year of
cabinet life. Secretary Morton gave
out the following statement :
"Paul Morton announces that ho
will retire from the cabinet on July
1. 1905. Ho will go to New York to
live and will boVome associated with
Thomas F. Ryan. It Is understood
Mr. Morton will take active charge of
the plans for the construction of the
proposed comprehensive system jf un
dorgrnund rapid transit lines In Now
York city for operation In connection
with existing surface lines. "

Toklo , June 1. Admiral Togo re
ports that all the captured ships sent
to Sasebo have arrived and that tlioir
crown have been landed. Admiral Ro-
JestveusKy lias ontu'red the naval hos
pital. The loporl that Vlco Admiral
Enqulst was captured proves to have
boon a mistake , caused by the misin
terpretation of wireless telegrams.
Admiral Togo also reports that two
Russian hospital ships which accom
panied Admiral Rojustvcnsky's lleol
Into the straits of Korea , May 27 , wore
suspected of a violation of The Hague

Peace Conference.
St. Petersburg , June 1. Whether
peace or thr > continuance of the war
will be the result of yesterday's all-
important conference between the
peror and his ministers at Tsarskor-
Solo hajigs In doubt. Various rumors
as to the results of the council are
current , all agreeing , however , that a
continuance of the war was the first
question taken up , whereupon the
pcaco parLy offered a strong line 01
argument , which was supplomi-ntoil.
It is said , by a dispatch from Lieuten
ant General" Lincvitch , in which that
commander expressed u fear as to the
demoralizing effort of the naval dis
aster on the army , the news of which
had already reached the troops from
Vladivostok , and was rapidly spread
ing. Alarmist rumors are afloat as to
the disaffection among the marines
and sailors quartered hero and the
workmen are again muttering about a
general strike.
DETAILS luSSIAN ROUT
Story of Naval Battle Told by Csp-
tured Officer.
London , June 1. The Dally Mail's
Toklo correspondent says that the
captain o- ' the Russian cruiser Admi
ral Naklmot'f , who Is now a prisoner ,
relates thu lollowlng story of the bat
tle between the Japanese and Rus
sian ( loots : "We first saw the Japa-
uetie at U o'clock in the morning of
May 27 , when suddenly and unex
pectedly we encountered the enumy's
flcot as we were moving to the east
of Tsu Island. They steamed toward
us and opened flro. Only ninety min
utes after the llrlng began a sudden
shock was felt under the Admiral
Naldmoff and she began to sink with
great rapidity. My belief Is that she
either struck a mine or a torpedo.
My crew numbered ( Juo mou , a major
ity of whom wont down in the ship ,
as there was not time to got the men
on deck. Myself and a number of
survivors , aided by llfo bolts , swam
to a small launch and about 10
o'clock In the morning we went
aboard a fisher boat. All of the offi
cers wore sunt to Shlmonosokl. In
the engagement fought off LI an court
rocks the Russian battleships were
surrounded by Japanese ships , which
circled about them , pouring in a ter
rlblo flro and they almost Immediately
fell Into hopeless confusion. Seeing
their plight , Admiral Togo signaled
from the battleship Mlknsa a demand
to know whether the Russians were
ready to surrender. Our ships com
piled with the demand. "
Other accounts of the battle describe
scribe ' , ho roar of the cannonade as so
terrible that houses wore shaken at
Yanwsuchl , twenty-eight miles dis
tant , and the people supposed It wan
