NEW YORK The expected May
day strikes did not materialize to the
extent anticipated, although a great
many men, including 30,000 Kalian
excavators, are on strike. The agree
ment reached last night by the steam
boat officials and the marine engin
eers to submit their differences to
arbitration put a stoj to the general
tieup of all freight steamers in this
vicinity.
Freight continues to move as usual,
but the demands of the engineers has
temporarily demoralized the move
ment of craft which depend on tug
boats. A number or the owners of
tugboats decided to resist the de
mands of the engineers and tied their
lwats up. while in other cases the en
gineers left their posts.
Some of the companies were suc
cessful in securing nonunion men to
take charge of their engine rooms.
The situation is not nearly so serious
as had been toked for. The only se
rious aspects are in connection with
the movement of barges which bring
New York's ice supply and the dock
ing and taking to sea of the big ocean
liners.
The teamsters' strike has not yet
reached any proportions. The orders
were issued to 4.000 members, but
not onc-faurth of these quit work.
Some 30,000 Italian excavators and
rockmen engaged en the subway an
swered the call for a strike by their
leader. They ask 2 a day for all
men, experienced and inexperienced,
while the contractors say they can
pay this to experienced men only.
The strikers paraded the streets,
each waving an American flag. This
strike practically put a stop to work
on the subway and also on excava
tions on new buildings.

note, addressed to Count Cassisi, ex

matter and seizes the opportunity to
return the thanks of this government
for the frank and satisfactory declar

per cent was paid in 1901.

analysis showed the average rate

I THE EXPOSITION
PRESIDENT RECEIVES AND DEDI
CATES THE GROUNDS.
A GREAT PARAK Of SOLDIERS
Sixty Thousand Peeple Crowd Into the
Big Auditorium Where the Dedica
tion Words Were Spoken The Ad
dress of President Francis.
ST. LOUIS The rites which pres
ent the Louisiana Purchase exposition
to the world were performed in the
Liberal Arts building Thursday with
all the dignity and splendor befitting
such an 'occasion.
A parade of 11000 soldiers down Lin
delflxrolevard to the World's fair
grounds formed a brilliant prelude
to the ceremony of dedication.
This prelude over, 60,000 people
were crowded into -the big auditorium
where, in the presence of official rep-'
rescntatives of all the civilized na
tions of the world, the words of dedi
cation were spoken by the president
of the United States. As the last
syllable fell from the president's lips,
and as the words of dedication were
completed, 60,000 voices rose in a pro
digious bass note of applause.
Following the invocation of the
cardinal, former United States Sena
tor Thomas H. Carter, of the national
commission, who acted as presi
dent of the day, was introduced, ana
made a speech.
After the rendition of "The
Heavens Proclaiming," by the chorus
of 2,000 voices, David R. Francis,
president of the fair association, de
livered an address, presenting the
buildings of the fair.
At the close of President Francis'
address terrific cheers broke to greet
President Roosevelt, whose dedication
address was, in part, as follows:
"The work of expansion was by far
the greatest work of our people dur
ing the years that intervened between
the adoption of the constitution and
the outbreak of the civil war.
"Never before had the world seen
the kind of national expansion which
gave our people all that part of the
American continent lying west of the
thirteen original states; the greatest
landmark in which was the Louisiana
purchase.
"When our forefatners joinea io call
into being this action, ihey undertook
a task for which there was but little
encouraging precedent The develop
ment of civilization from the earliest
period seemed to show the truth of
two propositions: In the first place, it
had always proved exceedingly diffi
cult to secure both freedom and
strength in any government; and in
the second place, it had always proved
well-nigh impossible for a nation to
expand without either breaking up or
becoming a centralized tyranny."
The exercises closed by a benedic
tion by Bishop Potter of New York.
At the conclusion of the speeches, be
ing the 100th anniversary of the sign
ing of the treaty which transferred
the Louisiana purchase from France
to the United States, a centennial
salute of aerial guns was fired. .

GERM THAT CAUSES SMAJ.LPOX.
Professor in Haravard Medical Col
lege Makes Discovery.
BOSTON, Mass. The Globe an
nounced that Dr. William Thomas
Councilman, the Shattuck professor
of pathological anatomy in the Har
vard Medical school, has discovered
the germ that causes smallpox. The
discovery is pronounced by physicians
who have been made aware of Dr.
Councilman's discovery as one of the
really great ones in medical history
and the most important made in Bos
ton, rivalling the discovery of ether
as an anaesthetic.
The details of the investigation,
how each successive step was taken,
how valuable scientific information
concerning the protozoa, the organism
that produces that highly contagious
disease, will, on Tuesday evening, be
furnished to medical men by the dis
coverer, who refrains from making a
public announcement of it until he has
enlightened the scientific world. Tues
day's meeting of physicians will be
held at the Harvard Medical school
under the auspices of the Boston So
ciety of Medical Science and the no
tices merely state that Dr. Council
man will have an announcement to
make upon small pox.

Army Officers Who Are Discharged on
Their Own Application.
WASHINGTON, D. C The United
States supreme court Monday decided
two cases involving the question as
to whether army, officers, who, upon
their own application, have received
discharges when distant from home,
are entitled to travel pay and commu
tation for subsistence. The cases
were those of Sweet and Barnett, both
of which were decided by the court
of claims favorably to the claimants.
That opinion was reversed by Mon
day's decision.
The opinion was delivered by Jus
tice Holmes, who said that the prac
tice of the war department and the
treasury department in not allowing
claims of this character had been long
maintained and that the court was of
the opinion that the system should
not be overruled.

MANY LIVES LOST
HAMLET CRUSHED OUT BY A CA
NADIAN MOUNTAIN TOP.
140 KNOWN TO BE DEAD
Pit Top and Houses Are Smothered
Under Tons of Debri Disaster Re
sembles Volcanic Action, Hurling
Boulders High in the Air.
FRAN. N. W. T A shock resem
bling an earthquake was experienced
here about 1:30 Wednesday morning
and the whole .valley below the town
was shaken immediately after with
what appeared to be a volcanic erup
tion from the top of Turtle mountain,
which overlooks the town.
Thousands of tons of rock were
thrown down, covering the mine en
trance, the mine buildings being bur
led hundreds of feet deep. All the
men employed about the mine outside
were instantly killed and twenty
miners are imprisoned in the mine,
with little hope of rescue. The loss
of life is estimated at over 100, most
ly, women and children. A Mr. Leitch,
his wife and four children are among
tne dead. The mountain is still throw
ing up. the rock.
For many hours no one could ex
plain the disaster except on the theory
that a miracle had occurred and a vol
cano broken suddenly loose in the Ca
nadian Rockies. Toward night, how
ever, it became apparent that the en
tire trouble was the result of a land
slide. The clouds of smoke the terror
stricken people claimed to have seen
dwindled down to drifting dust and
the continued rain of rock merely the
aftermath of the original slide.
Old Man's river, which flows through
the center of the town, is dammed up
with the fallen rock to the height, of
nearly 100 feet. The waters are
spreading for miles and the entire val
ley above the town is flooded.
A big body of water is pressing down
on the dam, the only protection Frank
now has. Should the impromptu dam
break the entire village . would be
swept away.
All the men working at the mine on
outside jobs were instantly killed. It
is supposed that 120 men were thus
killed, although the exact number i3
not known, for the records of the office
and payroll are buried under the brok
en rock.
SFALLPOX AKIN TO MALARIA.
Pest Must Be Distinguished from Oth
er Infectious Diseases.
BOSTON Dr. Councilman of the
Harvard Medical school on Tuesday
told the Boston Society of Medical
Science that smallpox is caused by a
micro-organism representative of the
lowest form of animal life. He thus
claimed to have established a rela
tion between smallpox and such dis
eases as malaria and to distinguish it
from other infectious diseases caus
ed by bacteria.
The doctor's reported discovery is
the outcome of investigations conduct

Burgess Mograth and Dr. Walter Rein

of the Boston Board of Health
during the recent epidemic of the dis

URGE GOOD ROADS.
General Miles and Mr. Bryan Speak on
Subject.
ST. LOUIS The second day's ses
sion of the National and International
Good Road3 convention opened with
a better attendance. President Moore
introduced General Nelson A. Miles,
United States army. He was receiv
ed with great enthusiasm by the dele
gates. He spoke on "Military Roads
and a National Highway," and said
in pait:
"I know of no one clement of civ
ilization in our country that has been
more neglected, and yet that is sus
ceptible of bestowing a greater bless
ing upon our people than the im
provement of our lines of communi
cation and avenues of internal com
merce. "Our government has expended
1500,000,000 for the improvement of
our harbors and waterways and now
the attention of the public is being
called to our postal roads and avenues
of communication are most useful and
important to all our people.
"If such expenditures of the ra
tional treasure have been mado in the
past for the development of railroads
and waterways, is it not now a most
appropriate time that the improve
ment of our roads should receive na
tional attention and governmental
aid.
"The property of the people, the
wealth of the nation, comes from the
ground. The factory and foundry in
crease and utilize the products of the
soil and mine; agriculture is the prin
cipal industry, so the great mass of
our rural people are our main de
pendency; their patriotism, their pub
lic spirit, their welfare must ever be
the salvation and glory of our repub
lic. Therefore every measure for the
good of the national government, tho
state or municipality that can pro
mote the welfare of the people should
not be withheld but should be most
earnestly advocated and most gener
ously bestowed.
"Any roads that can bo made use
ful for industrial and peaceful pursuits
can be utilized for military purposes.
We are not an empire or a military
despotism and therefore are not de
vising means for purely military pur
poses."
W. J. Bryan took the agricultur
ist's side, saying:
"The expenditure of money for the
permanent improvement of the com
mon roads can be defined, first, as a
matter of justice to the people who
live in the country; second, as a mat
ter of advantage to the people who
do not live in the country, and, third,
on the ground that the welfare of the
nation demands that the comforts of
country life shall, as far as possible,
keep pace with the comforts of city
life.
"It is a well known fact, or a fact
easily ascertained, that the people in
the country, while paying their full
share of county, state and federal
taxes, receive as a rule only the gen
eral benefits of government, while
the people in cities have, in addition
to the protection afforded by the gov
ernment, the advantage arising from
the expenditure of public moneys in
their midst."
