JAMESTOWN'S GR
EXPOSITION OPENED
‘President Roosevelt Touches Button
and Sets Things Moving.
ADDRESS MADE FROM SHAKY BOX.
The Opening Was Auspicious Despite
the Incompleteness of the Exposition
Building — Crowds Were Large and
Would Have Been Enormous If the
Transportation Facilities Had Been
Sufficient to Convey Visitors to the
Exposition Grounds.
Exposition Grounds,
Three hundred guns

a prayer, a speech, a golden key
pressed by the President of the Unit-
ed States, a thousand flage unfurled
from the rooftops of a new Maglio
Qity; then more guns booming from
the sides of visiting battleships, from
the clean-cut hulls of our own match-
less fleet, and from the gray walls
of Fortress Monroe. Thus was the
exposition begun, which celebrates
ge 300th anniversary of the first
nglish settlement in America,

Guns, Flags And Music.
The guns and flags and martial
music which predominated at the
spectacular opening of the big Vir-
ginia fair would have led the unini-
tiated to believe that this is all
a war show. But this is only the out-
ward display—the front of war that
guards industry and of peace. With-
in the gtaes of the exposition the
only signs that smack of power and
force are the blue-coated policemen
and the militiamen on duty to

good fortune; for as time clears away

in the valor, the devotion and
fealty toward the right as it was
given to each to see the right, shown

Gompers Will Make Reply.
Washington (Bpecial) .—8Bamuel
Gompers, President of the American
Federation of Labor, says that he will
later make answer to President
Roosevelt's letter reiterating his
clagsification of the Idaho labor lead-
ers, Mover and Haywood, as “unde-
sirable citizens.” Further than this,
Mr. Gompers would not comment on
the letter, but it was received with
displeasure at the headquarters of
the Federation.

NAVAL PAGEANI
HISTORY,
THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD'S
Fifty fighting ships, representing five great nations,
participated in the naval pageant attendant upon the open

The deep-throated guns of the 50 ships voiced a salute
in unison as President Roosevelt reviewed them from the
deck of the yacht Mayflower,

The spectacle was viewed by representatives——court,
naval and military—of 37 of the nations of the world.

being of spotless white made it appear as if there were two

American vessels at naval gatherings abroad have always been an
centre of ‘interest because of their graceful and clean-cut
appearance. Today, assembled in the full strength of a home-protecting
fleet. they made an impression which will live long in the memory of those
who looked on as the President, as commander-in-chief, doffed his hat in
acknowledgment of each thunderous salute which narked the progress
the review.
THIRTY-SEVEN NATIONS OF THE WORLD REPRESENTED.
Not the least impressed of those who witnessed this inaugural cere-
mony of the opening of the Exposition were the military and naval officers
of 37 of the nations of the world. The Ambassadors and Ministers of all
these nations were also among those who gazed upon the beautiful naval
show.

given a position of vantage over the hundreds of excursion steamers and
pleasure craft of every imaginable description which formed a frame about
the anchorage ground of the assembled fleets,
None of the excursion or pleasure craft were allowed to cruise be-
tween the war vessels and the shore, thus insuring those on the Exposi-
tion grounds an unobstructed view of the impressive ceremonies pictured
almost as in miniature several thousands of yards away in the blue waters
of the roadstead.
MIGHTIEST COLUMN OF AMERICAN BATTLESHIPS IN HISTORY.
Back of the first line of foreign vessels was ranged the mightiest col-
umn of American battlie-ships the history of the nation has ever known.
Stretching away in a curving line up the broad channel-way from the
Government pler off Old Point Comfort, 16 mighty fortresses of the gea,

fittingly formed the centre of the fleet arranged for the day's review. In a
third line, and all but hidden from the shore by the bulk of the heavy
battle-ships, were the cruisers and gpectre-like torpedo craft attached to
the American squadrons.
