No event In which the Interests of a great
people were Involved had a more auspicious
beginning than the grand I'caco Jubilee ,
which was Inaugurated yesterday. All
things combined to cheer the hearts of
those whose expectations were merged In
the enterprise and to predicate a measure
of succcsb commensurate with Its Impor
tance. Although the ceremonies of the day
were unimportant as compared with those ,
which will follow , the crowd far exceeded
that of any Monday since the exposition
opened and seemed to promise that the
hopes of the management for the remaining
days would ba amply satisfied.
The unexampled beauty of the day was In
Itself enough to Inspire the people and
emphasize the confidence of the manage
ment. The ruin that poured almost Inces
santly through the preceding night left the
landscapes of the White City as fresh and
bright as when they delighted the senses of
the first visitors in June. Having performed
this kindly office It ceased entirely , the
clouds broke and disappeared , the sun shone
out In the full glory of Its October beauty
and Nature was all smiles and sunshine
and gladness to greet the great jubilee of
peace. Autumn never offered a more beau
tiful scene than the bright panorama which
was unfolded before the first visitors of the
'morning. The flowers and foliage wcro still
dripping with reluctant raindrops which
glittered like myriad diamonds In the
morning sunlight. The green of the grass
and the gorgeous caterings of the canna and
geraniums nnd dahlias were aglow with all
the magnificent beauty of June. The air was
full of Inspiration to happiness and as the
first troops of admiring visitors were multi
plied to hundreds and thcso to thousands
the merry animation of the scene added all
that was lacking to make a spectacle of
transcendent splendor.
Mont Hare Combination.
. Asl 13 front tlr&-sentiment ; of the nreckr the
beauty of the day was alone enough to
make It notable. It was a composite repro-
jductlon of all that the ho'pea of all who
were Interested in Its success had pictured.
The most pcaalrnUtle critic could hardly
have suggested a flaw In the Ideal beauty
of nature's tribute to the day of peace.
To the blgxcrowd that swarmed over the
broad landscapes and along the aisles of the
great buildings It was added material for
enjoyment. It lent added beauty to every
architectural triumph and Imparted a sense
of oriental splendor to every stretch of lux
uriant landscape. U Inspired a nplrlt of
admiration and renewed the capacity for
enjoyment and the people raveled In Its de
lights nnd declared that the great exposi
tion had never seemed so beautiful.
Aside from the celebration of Mayor's
dny the striking feature was the presence of
novcral thousand Mlssourlans , who came
caily In the morning and wore , visible in
the last remnants of the departing crowd at
night. Most of them were seeing the ex
position for the first time and they could
not find words to express their wonder at
Its unprecedented gradeur. With few ex
ceptions they will remain until the last
of the week and make the most of their
trip. Thousands of other visitors came In
yesterday with the same Intention and
every tralnload that Is brought in during
the next two days will add so many to the
crowd. Every ono has come to stay until
after Presdent'n day at least and few will
go away until they have aho had an oppor
tunity to see nnd hear the heroes of the
army and navy a day later. Nothing that
can be foreseen can prevent the Jublleo from
being a tremendous and Inspiring success
nnd Its promoters nro almost In sight ol
the fulfillment of their brightest anticipa
tions.
Today Is Governor's day and the execu
tives of the trnnsmlaslsslppl states will oc
cupy the rostrum that the mayors filled s (
comfortably yesterday. The afternoon will
1)o occupied by the concert In the Audito
rium , the life saving exhibition , organ re
cital , balloon ascension and the sham battle
and In the evening there will be the usual
Plaza concert and an elaborate display oj
fireworks.
The New Mexco day exercises will be helt

nnd Mining building this morning at 11
o'clock. The speakers will bo Colonel Al

The meeting will bo of short duration , i\\ \

In viewing the exposition.
IIUIKK MAYOIIS' HAY KXIMICIHKS
Ccrenioiileii Cut Short on Account 01
the Outduav Attraction * .
The ceremonies of Mayor's day wen
neither so Imposing nor so well attended ai
those which will distinguish some of th <
remaining days of the week. The speaker :
admitted their Inability to compete with thi
manifold attractions which the beautlfu
weather was allied with ouslde and tin
speeches were cut short In order to leavi
the people free to participate in the othci
amusements of the day. The program wa
designed merely as the official opening o
the Jubilee and this was accomplished will
ft grace that lost nothing by Its brevity.
The exercises were Introduced by a selec
tlon by Innea' band and an Impressive Invo
cation by Rov. T. J. Mackay , who prayed tb
Omnipotence blessing on the great peac
celebration , of which these exercises wer
the beginning. After briefly outlining to
general plan of the celebrations of the weel
President Wattles presented Mayor 1'ranl
E. Mooreg of Omaha as the first speaker
Mayor Moores emphasized ! the Importanc
of good municipal government an an e oen
tlal to the happiness and prosperity of th
people. Well governed cities exprt an In
lluouce on all the territory surroundlni
tl.em on commercial as well as moral lines
He declared that the wonderful develop
inent of the transmUalsslppl region 1
largely due to the excellence of Its state am
city governments. He asked the vlsltlni
executive * to make themselves at home am
assured them that all departments of the
city" government were at their service to
give them any Information and assistance
that they might require.
Other Mayor * Ilciiponil.
In response Mayor George T. Baker of
Davenport paid a high tribute to the ex
position , which , he declared , Is n wonderful
educator. We have always believed In the
Missouri valley nnd this Is an enterprise
that will remain a credit to the transmls-
slsslppl country through nil the future.
Mayor John MacVlckar of DCS Molnes
said this celebration glorifies the best part
of war , the end of It. Ho spoke of the
vast scope of the enterprise and from this
selected for his subject "The Man Who
Wnnta to Come Home. " He declared that
If there IB one thing more than another that
glorifies American citizenship it Is the read
iness of the people to serve their country In
Its hour of peril and their determination not
fo llvo on n soldier's pay when their
services were no longer needed. The war
has gone outside of Its original object , which
was to rescue the starving reconcentrados of
Cuba , and ho contended that the government
should be able to meet the responsibilities
that remain without kcepfng men on garri
son duty. Ho urged that the man who wants
to come homo should have his own way as
noon as he can bo spared , and that bis work
should not bo undone by attempting to set
up a bogus Imperialism.
President Wattles was expected to close
the program with an address , but ho said
that what ho had to say referred mainly to
the beauties of the grounds and buildings
and their artistic embellishments. Ho sug
gested that thcso would speak more elo
quently to the visitors than any words that
ho could offer , and consequently dismissed
the crowd to enjoy the attractions of the
show.
At 1 o'clock the visiting mayors , with their
wives , were entertained at lunch at Market's
cafe by the officers of the exposition aril the
Bureau of Entertainment.

AT A I.OVK FEAST.
Short lint Eiithimlimtle Ileceptlon
Held at State Headquarter * .
The Mlssourlans , who were'on the grounds
In largo numbers yesterday , held a shor
love feast at their exhibit In the Agricul
ture building at 2 o'clock. President Ster-
rett of the Missouri commlsson called the
gathering to order and In speaking of the
state's part In the exposition said among
other things :
I will stop for a moment to say that there
seems to bo n too prevalent opinion thai
the exhibits from Missouri are not worthy
of Its position as the empire state of the
transrnlsslsslppl country. It Is true that
we have not been able to spend all that was
desirable In the purely artistic and omn-
mcntal features , nnd yet there IB no state
represented here that ban a larger uumbT
of actual ppeclmens dluplayed. Our agri
cultural exhibit Is flrst-clsns. Our dairy
exhibit attracts moro attention than all
other butter exhibits on these grouads. Our
llvo stock has been awarded more premiums
than that of anv other state hero repre
sented. Our educational , woman's work am
nesro work are In the front rank. Our
mining exhibit Is better from a comtnercla
standpoint than that displayed at the World's
fair. Our horticultural exhibit will easll >
rank first In superiority. We desire to
provo these facts to the 10,000 Missourlane
on the grounds today.
In closing Mr. Sterrett Introduced Lieu
tenant Governor Bolte , who represented th
state In the absence of Governor Stephens
His address , which was very short , wa
directed to thanking the officials of th
exposition for their kindness In settlnt
apart a day for the Mlssourlans. Contlnu
Ing he called attention to the fact tha
Missouri Is the fifth state In the union Ii
population ; that the output of its mine
exceeds that of England ; that It Is In th
front rank In the raising of live stock ; tha
It furnishes'the markets with moro mule
than any other state ; that Us corn an
wheat are the best In quality grown In an
state.
The lieutenant governor was followed b
State Senator K. W. Major , who delivers
tbo oration for Missouri. He said that n
exhibition that had ever been brought to
gether showed In so startling a manner th
wealth of the Imperial west. He took prld
In tbo part that bis native state had 1
It , speaking In eloquent terms of the bound
leno resources of the state. Among othe
claims to distinction he said that Mlssour
had the largest available school fund o
any state In the union. Prom tbli h
passed on to a splendid exposition of th
advantages of education. He next took u
the ever-Inspiring theme of the fair wome
of his state , saying that whatever spur
the men have won the women placed the !
armor on. He concluded with an eulog
on the Missouri soldiers who , be said , wer
the first to respond to the president's ca
for troops. The sons of the blue and tb
gray , bound by the ties of a reunited coup
try , manned the gUns at the passing * o
Cervera and stormed the height * of
Caney and San Juan.

LONDON , Oct. 10. The comments In pub
ic and In the newspapers show that the
marquis of Salisbury's determined stand on
the occupation ot Fashoda has come as a
most agreeable relief and as disposing of all
theories of compromise. No whisper of dis
sent is heard anywhere. Both friends and
opponents of the premier are rejoicing In
the publishing of the blue book on Fashoda ,
n which he has blirned his bridges behind
him.
him.While
While It Is recognized that the situation by
.his publication has become more difficult
for France' , there Is almost entire absence ot
a disposition anywhere to believe that
Prance proposes to press Its claims to the
[ > olnt of danger and this confidence was dem
onstrated by the capital tone of the stock
exchange after a momentary scare and such
comment as comes from Paris also tends to
abate alarm.
The Matin , which Is directly Inspired by
the French officers and which was foremost
In urging extremist views , voices today the
moro pacific mood which Is apparently ob
taining In Paris. It says :
'Wo shall probably not risk a war with
Great Britain for nominal .sovereignty over
a territory at an Immense distance from
our possessions on the Atlantic. They are
as Inaccessible from our coast as the moun
tains In the moon. We can retain our honor
without retaining Fashoda , Prudence should
prevent us from overloading ourselves with
too much territory. Wo must be colonial ,
but in moderation. "
The newspapers of Paris this evening take
a calm view of the situation and plead for
moderation. They express a sincere desire
for a friendly settlement of the question
when Major Marchand's report arrives.
A * prominent member of the French em
bassy In London expressed these views of the
situation this evening :
"Tho advent of the French and the Brit
ish on the upper Nile ought not to bo re-
guarded as the meeting of opposing policies ,
but as the clash of commercial Interests
which should bo carefully defined and em
bodied In a permanent agreement. The war ,
which has not been provoked by the ques
tion of Egypt , will certainly not break oul
over the upper Nile questions. The IBS net
at Fashoda will be settled in a friendly man
ner to the general satisfaction , but an agreement -
ment will be much moro readily reached
when the newspapers ot the two countries
cease exciting public opposition. "
