8T. LOCI8, May 1. St. Loula awoke at an
arly hour. Though the dedication
cersmonica of yeaterday were ao prolonged
that It waa 2 o'clock In the morning before
the thousanda of people were able to reach
their homes.
On the official program today was desig
nated as "International day," it being set
side for the dedication of tho foreign
buildings. The members of the diplomatic
corpa, representatives of foreign govern
ments and other official guests assembled
at the St. Louis club at 10:30 a. m. and
were driven thence to the exposition
grounds.
Spends Five Honrs at Kansaa City.
V The carriages during the drive were ar
Ariged in atrlct accordance' with the rules
f of diplomatic precedence and once the line
was formed the carriages escorted by four
troops of regular cavalry were driven rap
Idly toward the fair grounds, where a break
fast was served upon their arrival at 12:16
o'clock. Tho Now York provisional regi
ment, resplendent in new dress uniforms,
was drawn up In Forest Park, and as the
line of carriages passed along the troops
were reviewed by Governor Odell.
v Although the hour set for the commence-
ment of the day's exercises was 12 o'clock.
It was long past that time when the
I diplomats and their escort arrived at the
Liberal Arts building. Fifteen minutes
later than the time set for the beginning
of the program the diplomats, foreign re pre
sentatlves and distinguished guests were
preparing to sit down to breakfast a mile
away from the Liberal Arts building.
This delay In the proceedings did not
eause discomfort to many people, for the
crowd showed no great Interest in the
official program.
It was late when the assembly was
called to order by Corwln H. Spencer,
chairman of the exposition committee on
ceremonies.
Former Senator Tharston Presides.
After the invocation by Rev. Carl
Swensson of St. Louis, Mr. Spencer ln
, traduced aa president of the day
John M. Thurston, who spoke in part as
follows:
We are here to welcome the ambassador
ministers and representatives of friendly
foreign rations, we are gathered to com
memorate an event which changed the his
tory of Americ an event of more Import
ance than almost any other event In our
history. This event gave to. us a conti
nental habitation.
Today, after 100 years, we come to cele
brate a great event In a magnificent ex
position. It Is not an exposition of a city,
or a state or of the United States, It Is
an exposition of the world.
Our visitors and our friends In the temple
of peace, dedicated to the progress of men,
are significant to us of the friendliness of
the nations. May we not hope that in the
splendor of the twentieth century there
may be an exampliflcatlon of the words of
the Master, "Peace on earth, good will
toward men."
Mr. Spencer then Introduced President
Francis of the exposition, who extended the
greeting of the exposition to the repre
sentative's of foreign countries.
1 French Ambassador Speaks.
After a selection by the marine band of
Washington the French ambassador, M.
Jean A. A. J. Jusscrand, the ambassador of
France to tha United States, replied to
President Francis as follows:
When the treaty signed In Paris 100 years
ago by which the area of the United States
was more than doubled stood for ratifica
tion before congress there were protracted
vnrusslons anil objections or many sorts.
""me thought that tne title was not Kiim-
n-iit: til tiers were anxious on arrnunt or
t magnitude of the new territories.
Senator Jackson of Georgia rose. and.
turning toward one of the hostile party,
said: "In a century, sir, we shall be well
populated, and Instead of the description
given of It by the honorable gentlemnn.
Instead or a nuwnng wilderness where no
civilised foot shall ever tread, If we could
return at the proper period, we should tlnd
it the seat of science and civilisation. "
Senator Jackson's time has come, the
very year he named: one century has Just
elapsed since he spoke. If he could return
among us he would see one of the most
brilliant gatherings which this country has
ever beheld. Sanguine as he was. Senator
Jackson could scarcely believe his eyes and
ears If he saw the matchless sight we
presently behold and the preparation for the
Impending exhibition of all the produce ail
the discoveries, all the art of the wide
earth.
Remembers French Pioneers.
In thla triumphal day it is only natural
that we carry our look backward to the
past, and have a thought for the lonely
pioneers of long ago. who came, one by
one, to this then unknown land, and tried
among Incredible difficulties lo make It
l-a unknown, to make It more productive
and easier to reclaim for you, their distant
inheritors. No one, I am sure, will think
It amiss that I. a compatriot of theirs ami
a representative of their country, recall at
this day their effort and Mrtss totlav's
gratitude for yesterday's work. For thoy
were hsrdy men, those children of distant
France: they were plucky, enterprising and
courageous; they led strenuous lives In-
in-
deed; all iiualltlts for which you ever bad
a special regard, lo say that they did not
fear danger Is to slander them; they
loved It.
Soldiers, missionaries, governors of cities
explorers, came year after year, from the
time of Louis XIV, attracted by the
chances or the beauty of the unknown, the
opportunity of increasing their country's
dominion, or of becoming famous, or of
Instructing souls, and of dying. If death
wss to be met, bravely and honorably. Very
French they were, with all the qualities
of their race.

tion. At 11 the entire party was driven
back to the station, where the night will
be spent on the train. At t tomorrow
morning the trip will be resumed through
western Kansas by way of the Union Pa
cific. The president devoted most of his speech
to the good work accomplished by the
Young Men's Christian association, saying
that such organisations developed the two
necessary qualities of work and brotherly
love.
"Nothing can ba dona with a man who
will not work," ha aald. "We have In our
scheme of government no room for the
man who does not wish to pay bis way
through life by what he does. A rich man
Is bound to work In some way that will
make the community better for his exis
tence. The capacity for work Is abso-
lutely necessary and no man can be said
to live In the true sense of the word it be
does not work. If a man Is utterly disre
gardful of the rights of others. If he works
simply for the sake of ministering to his
own baae passions, If be works simply to
gratify himself, small is his good in the
community. He is of no resl use unless
together with the quality which enables
him to work he has the quality which en
ables him to love his fellows, to work with
them for the common good of all."
During the trip to the governor's resi
dence this evening a man named Murphy
attempted to get onto the president's car
riage. He waa knocked off by a mounted
policeman. He then Jumped upon one cf

NEW YORK, May 1. The expected May
day strikes did not materialize to the ex
tent anticipated, although a great
many men. Including 30,000 Italian exca
vatora, are on strike. The agreement
reached last night by the steamboat officials
and the marine engineers to submit their
difference to arbitration put a stop to the
general tleup of all freight steamers In
this vicinity.
Freight continues to move ag usual, but
the demands of the engineers has tempo
rarily demoralized the movement of craft
which depend on tugboats. A number of
demands of the engineers and tied their
the ownera of tugboats decided to resist the
boats up, while In other cases the engineers
left their posts.
Some of the companies were successful
In securing nonunion men to take charge
of their engine rooms. The situation la
not nearly so serious as had been looked
for. The only serious aspects are In con
nection with the movement of bargea 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 one-fourth of these
quit work.
Some 30,000 Italian excavators and rock
men engaged on the subway answered the
call for a strike by their leader today.
They ask $2 a day for all men, experienced
and Inexperienced, while the contractors
say they can pay thla to experienced men
only.
The strikers paraded the atreets, each
waving an American flag. This strike prac
tically put a stop to work on the subway
and also on excavations for new buildings.
The strike of tbe boiler makers was set
tled last night and the ship yarda today
are operating with full forces. Another
strike settled today waa that on the Musca
toot darn, tbe 300 men returning to work.
In the building trades thera ia not a

trouble being that occasioned by tha dif
ferences between the Amalgamated and
Brotherhood carpenters.

POLICE GET BEST OF DEAL
si
riMnirn Get the Small End of
Broatch'a New Salary
Schedule.
The action of the Board of Fire and Po
lice commissioners in raising the salary
of the police captains from $90 to $110 a
month, or the maximum amount mowed
by the new .law, while a service scale has
been arranged for the fire captains,, haa
caused considerable adverse comment.
The board adopted a resolution making
tho pay of fire captalna in the service less
than five years $U0 a month, more than
five and less than ten years, $100 a month.
and more than ten years, $110 a month
All previously have been paid. $85. An
inspection of the payroll for April shows
that there Is not a alngle fire captain who
will draw more than the m'.nlmum of '-0.
"I don't understand why police captalna
in the service only a few montha rhould
get more than fire captalna who have risked
their lives for years," said Councilman
Zlmman yesterday. "I don't suppose the
council can do anything as the police beard
has the right to fix the salaries within
ths limits ret by the law, but some force
ought to be exerted to make tha com
mlssloners change thla ruling."
WAGES OF CITY LABORERS
Comptroller West berg- Says He' Will
Hot Sign Warrants for Pub
lic Works Men.
Men who worked for the city during the
month of April may have to resort to court
procedure to get their pay if City Comp
troller Westberg keeps bis word. He i-ald
yesterday that he would refuse to sign a
single warrant for a Board of Works em
ploye, because tbelr names and compen
sation bad not been submitted to the coun-
ell for approval Immediately after the I
charter amendments went Into effect.
No time Bheet for the employes was
submitted to the comptroller by tbe board
to be included in the April appropriation
ordinance. The long alcknesa of Chairman
Rosewater of the board and the failure of
the council to meet for several weeka have
contributed to delaying the aendlng in of
the lists to the council.
Although Westberg declares he will rot
sign the warrants, all lawyers about tbe
city ball, including Judge Hascall, say that
the men who worked are entitled to Mielr
money and cannot be prevented from re
ceiving it. Most of them already have as
signed tbelr wages and if any one ia tha
loser It will ba the loan agents.
MISSOURI WHEAT IS DAMAGED
Strawberries Also Injured, but Apples
Escape with Slight
Loss.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo., May 1. Special Tele
gram.) Damage to the wheat crop In north
ern Missouri by frosts of the last three
n'ghts Is not .so alarming as at first Indi
cated. Large growers of wheat today say
the crop In the uplands la not badly In
jured, but on the low sections and river
bottoms the yield will be very small, owing
to the heavy frosts. A few fields are killed,
other fields are set back so much that
continued wet weather will totally de
stroy them. Strawberry growers are heavy
sufferers, many acres , of berries being
killed. Tha apple yield will not materially
be affected, according to horticulturists.

FRANK E, MOOKES.
Mayor.
No material breaks have transpired in
the strikes which were declared yesterday
and the end of the week finds an army of
about 2,300 Idle men In the city. This
number Includes approximately 250 Union
Pacific shopmen, whose strike began nearly
a year ago; 250 carpenters, 850 teamsters,
600 restaurant and cafe workers, 300 hod
carries and forty leather workers. These
figures are said to be conservative. In no
case is the full quota of the respective
unions included. Many of the Union Pa
cific strikers have left the city. Of tbe
400 union carpenters at least 160 are said
to be at work for contractora who algned
the scale. About 150 or 200 restaurant
and cafe workera are still busy and eighty
of the 120 leather workera have not as
yet struck, while a few of the hod carriers
ore at work.
Notwithstanding the lattltude of . tbe
atrlke, it did not reach tbe proportlona
feared. This waa due to the partial settle
ments Indicated, tho complete settlements
of the brewery workers and the failure of
the freight handlers to arrive at definite
results. While there Is no indication of
an immediate disintegration, soma nego
tiations are pending which In all probability
will result In a reduction of the number
of Idle men. Present signs point to a
stubborn fight as long as tt lasts, but tha
general Impression on both sldea seem to
be that the affair will not oe long drawn
out, affording one grounds of consolation
at least, If this Impression ba correct.
Central Ilody lieepa Out.
Central Labor Union which met last
night was supposed to . dip its oar Into
the strike situation In seme w:iy or other,
but did nbt. Certain phases of the sit
uation were broached once or twice, .as all
tho urilons Involved had their regular del
egatea at the meeting, but absolutely noth
ing was done that in any way tore on tha
strike. Tbe central body some time ago
placed at tha disposal of all of the unions
an arbitration committee, but It has not
yet been called Into service.
The present strike hinges largely on the
course of the tearaaters. While they have
no sort of dirct control over the restaurant
men or any other union t.ngaged in th
fight, they are by all odds the largest or
ganization and their action affects more
different lines of industry and It Is thought
and even said by many of the employers
that if matters could be adjusted with the
teamsters the rest of the problem would
j be easy to solve. Nexf In Importance com.

a very potent factor.
Settlement In View.
The leatherworkers believe they have
good prospects of settling. Two of their
firms already- are said to hsve expressed
their willingness to sign the scale and it
Is hoped the other two will fall into line
wlthtout much more difficulty. The car
penters likewise bave some things In their
favor. In the first place, according to their
president, George W. Miles, almost 50 per
cent of them are now at work, meaning
that a number of contractors have algned
tbe acale and Mr. Miles looks for further
concessions. He has been told by oas
large contractor that he Is ready to sign
up. All the work on the public buildings
that are being erected or completed, tha
Krug theater, market bouso, postofflce and
the auditorium can proceed, as the con
tractors having charge of these buildings
have signed the scale. With the carpen
ters and leatherworkers eliminated the
situation would be materially Improved as
It would leave the employers to deal with
practically none but the teamsters and
restaurant men, as the bod carriers are not
being dealt with much as It is thought
best to defer action with tbem until the
tesmsters ran be disposed of. When this
Is dona It la believed tbe smploysra will
