FI KFAI-O, May ).-The following is
the seH'li of Vice President Ruoscvlt,
ilclixeted in the Temple of Music lit the
Paii-Aiiicricau exposition, during the ded
ication exercises:
Today we formally open this great ex
position by the shore of the might ly In
land seas of the north, where all the peo
ples of the Western Hemisphere have
joined to show what they huve dune ill
rt, science ami industrial invention,
what they have been able to accomplish
with their manifold resources ami their
infinitely varied individual aud national
nuulities. Such an exposition, held ut
the opening of this new century, inevita
bly suggests two trains of thought. It
should make us think seriously and sol
emnly of our several duties to uue an
other as citizens of the different nations
of this Western Hemisphere: ami also of
our duties each to the uutiou to which
he peisorally Is'lnugs.
The century upon which we have Just
entered must ineritnbly lie oue of tre
mendous triumph or of tremendous fail
ure (or the whole hiimiiu race; because,
lo an iullnitely greater extent than ever
before Immunity is knit together in all
its parts, for weal or for wis-. All alniut
us there arc iiiuumc ruble tendencies that
tell for gissl and innumerable tcndcucic
tlwt tell for evil. It is of course a mere
truism to say Unit our own acts must de
termine which set of tendencies shall
overcome the other. In order to act
wisely we must tirst see clearly. There
is no (dace among us for the mere pes
iuilst: no malt who looks at life with
vision thut sees ull tilings hluck or gray
can do aught healthful in mouliling the
dentin)- uf a mighty and vigorous people.
Hut there is Just as little use for the fool
ish oiitimlst who refuses to face the
many and real evils that exist and who
ruils to see that the only way to insure
the triumph of righteousness In the fu
ture is to war aguinst all that Is base,
weak ami unlovely in the present
There are certain things o obvious
is to seem commonplace, wuicn, never
theless, must lie kept constantly before
us if we arc to preserve our just seisw or
iroiKirtion. This Twentieth Century is big
with the fate of the nations of mankind,
because the fute of each is now Interwo
ven with the fute of ull to a degree uever
even approached in any previous stage
of hislorv. No lietter proof could be
given thnu by this very export iou. A
centurr ago no such exposition could
hare even Ihsii thought of. The Inrg
nations of the tcrritorv represented here
today by so many free nntions was not
even mapped, and very much of It was
unknown to the hurdicst explorer. The
influence of America upon old world af
fairs was imponderable. World politics
Kill meant Kiiropeun politic.
tllsut ChsnEVS Have Been Wrought.
"All that is now changed, not merely
bv what has hniipened here in America,
but by what has happened elsewhere. It
is not necessary for us here to consider
the giunt changes which have come else
where in the globe; to treat of the rise in
the south sens of the great free common
wealths of Australia and New Zealand;
of the wnv n which Japan has Imiii reju-
reiiated and hns ndrauccd by leaps and
bounds to a position among the leading
ivilizcd powers; of the problems affect-
ilia- the major portion of mankind, which
roll imperiously for solution In parts of
the old world which a century ago were
liurelv known to Kunuie even hy rumor.
Our prtsent concern is not with the old
worhL but with out own Western Hemis-
,,!.,.,, America
We meet toilny, repre-
letiting the peoples of this hemisphere,
from the dominion of Cunuila In the
north to Chile nnd the Argentine in the
Kiutli: representing people who have
traveled fur and fast in the past century,
beause in them has been practicully
shown that it is the spirit of adventure
which is the maker of commonwealth;
peoples who are learning and striving to
put in practice the vital truth that free
dom is the necessary tirst step, but only
the first step, in successful free govern-
Qlftlt.
I luring the last century we have on
the whole made long strides In the rignc
direction, hut we lnv' T,'rJr I1,,"'h T"
to learn. We all look forward to the clay
lien there shall ! a nearer approxuna
lion than then- has ever yet Is-eu to the
brotherhood of man, and the peace of the
world. More and more we are learning
that to love one' country nlsive all oth
is in no war incompatible with re-
MicctiiiK ami wishing wen io an outers,
and that, as between man ami man, so
between nation and nation, there should
ll-re the great law of right These ra
the eonls towards which we strive; and
let ns nr. least earnestly endeavor to real
le them here on this continent. From
Hudson's bay to the Straits of Magellan,
we, the men of the two Americas, have
been coiiuilering the wilderness, carving
it into state nnd province, and seeking
io build tin in state anil province govern
ments which shall combine Industrial
prosperity and moral well-being. I-et us
ever most vividly remember the falsity
of the belief that any one or us is to be
permanently benefitted by the hurt of an
other. Lot ns strive to have our public
men treat as axiomatic the truth that it I
for the interest of every commonwealth
in the Western Hemisphere to see every
other commonwealth grow In riches and
lu happiness, in material wealth and in
lie sober, strong self -respecting manli
ness witlsiut which material wealth
avails so little.
Benefit For Onei Ilentflt Far All.
"Tisluy. on behalf of the United State
I welcome yon here; yon, our brothers of
the North, and you, our brothers of the
South; we wish yon well; we wish you
all prosperity; and we say to you that we
earnestly hope for your wclllieing, not
only for your own snke. but also for our
own; for it is a lienetit to each of us to
have the others do well. The relations
between us now are those of cordial
frieuihhip. and it is to the Interest of all
alike that this friendship should ever
remain unbroken.
"Nor is there the least chance of Its
being broken provided only that all of
ns alike act with full recognition of Uu
vital need thnt each should realise that
his own true interests can best lie servec
by serving Jhe interests of others.
You, men of Canada, are doing snh-
tantinllly the same work that we of thii
republic are doing, and face substantial
ly the same problem that we also face
Your is the world of the merchant, tin
manufacturer and mechanic, the farmer
the ranchman, nnd the miner; you art
subduing the prairie and the forest, till
ing farm land, building cities, stririua
to raise ever higher the standard of right
to bring ever nearer the day when trui
justice shall obtain between man anr'
man; and we wish (indspced to you and
yours, and may (he kindliest tie of good
Will always exist betweeu us.
'To you of the republics south of a I
wish to say a special word. I believe
with all my heart In the Monroe doctrine.
This doctrine is not to Is Invoked for the
aggrandisement of any one of us here ou
this continent at tlte expense of anyone
else on this continent. It should tie re
garded simply us a great International
Pan-American policy, and ought to have,
and must erer have, only the desire to
see her sister republics in the Western
Hemisphere continue to flourish, und tlu
determination that no one world powci
ahull acquire new territory here on th is
western continent.
Instead of any one of us com
mitting the criiiilunl folly of trying to
rise at the expense of our neighbors, we
shall all strive upward in honest and
mauly brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder.
Reason For American I'rlils.
A word uow especially to my own fel
low countrymen. I think that we have
all of us rensiNi to le satisfied with the
showing made, In this exposition as in
the other great expositions of the past, uf
the results of the enterprise, the shrewd
daring, the business energy and capacity,
and the, artistic, und, ulsive ull, the won
derful mechuuicnl skill and Inventiveness
of our people. In all nf this we have le
gitimate cause to feel a noble pride, and
a still nobler pride in the showing made
uf what we have done in such matters as
our system of widespread popular educft
tinn, and ill the tit-Id of philanthropy
esM-eiully in that best kind of philan
thropy which teaclHs each man to help
lift both Irimself and his neighbor by
joining with that neighltor hand in hand
In a common effort for the common good.
It is easy to say what we ought to
do, hut it is hard to do it; and yet no
scheme can Im- devised which will save
us from the need of doing just this hard
work. Not merely must each" of us strive
to do his duty, in addition it is impera
tively necessary also to estublish a strong
and hitelligeut public opinion which will
require each to do his duty. If any man
here falls short he should not only feel
ashamed himself, but In some way he
ought also to be made conscious of the
condemnation of his fellows, and this nc
matter what form his shortcoming take.
Heiug our duty is of course incumbent on
every one of us alike; yet the heaviest
blame for dereliction should fall on the
man who sins against the light, the mnn
to whom much has been given and from
whom, therefore, we have a right to ex
pect mi ch in return. We should hold to
a peculiarly rigid accountability those
men who in public lite, or as editors of
great papers, or as owners of vast for
tunes, or as lenders and moulders of opin
ion in the pulpit, or on the platform, or at
the bar, are guilty of wrongdoing, no
matter what form that wrongdoing may
take.
"In addition, however, to the problems
which miller the Protean shapes are yet
fundamentally the snme for all nations
and for nil times, there are others which
especially need our attention, because
they are the especial productions nf our
present industrial civilization. The tre
mendous industrial development nf the
nineteenth century has not only conferred
great Is uefits upon ns of Hie twentieth.
but it has also exposed us to grave dan
gers. This highly complex movement
ha had many sides, some good and some
bad, and has produced an absolutely
novel set of phenomena. To secure for
them the best results will tax to the ut
most the riwiurces of the statesman, the
economist and the social reformer. There
has beeti an Immense relative growth
of urban population, and in conse
quence an immense growth of the
body of wiigeworkers, together with
an accumulation of enormous fortunes
which more and more tend to express
their power through great corporations
that are thcinselri's guided by some mus
ter mind of the business world. As a re
sult we are confronted by a formidable
eric of perplexing problems, with
which it is absolutely necessary to deal,
and yet with which It is not merely use
less but in the highest degree unwise nnd
dangerous to deal save with wisdom, in
sight and self-restraint.
What the Nstlon Needs.
There are certuin truths which are
so commonplace as to be axiomatic; and
yet so important that we cannot keep
them too vividly iH-fore our minds,
The true welfure nf the nation is in
dissolubly hound with the welfare of the
farmer and the wageworker; of the man
who tills the soil, and of the mechanic,
the handicraftsman, the laborer. If we
uui insure the prosperity of these two
classes, we need not trouble ourselves
about the prosperity uf the rest, for that
will follow os a matter of course.
"While striving to prevent Industrial
Injustice at home, we must not bring upon
ourselves industrial weakness abroad,
This is a task for which we need the tin
est abilities of the statesman, the stu
dent, the patriot am! the fnr-seeing lover
of mankind. It is n task in which we
hall fail with absolute certainty if we
approach it after having surrendered
ourselves to the guidance of the ilemn
irogue or the doctrines of the well-
meaning man who thinks feebly, or of th
cunning self-seeker who endeavors to
rise by committing that worst of rrimus
oca list our people the crime ol inuain
inir brother ugainst brother, one Amer-
tenn siriiiust his fellow-Americans. My.
fellow-countrymen, bad laws are evil
things; good laws are necessary; and a
clear fearless, conininn-seuse auuiinistra-
inn of the laws is even more necessary
hut what we need most of nil is to look
in nor own selves to see thnt our con
sciences ns Individuals, that our collective
national conscience, may le instnnt to re
spond to every appeal for high action
.nA u.riv nnd eenerous endeavor. There
must and shall le no falling off in the
.oiiwoinl traits of hardihood and manll
ness; and we must keep ever bright the
love nf justice, the spirit of s.rong Unit It
rlv frieiiilslnn for one s fellows, wliu
we hope and Isdieve will hereafter stand

ALBANY. May 20,-Tbe Inridcnte ol
the first day of active operation of all the
railway lines affected by the great strike
were few because of the heavy fall of
rain. The two men shot by National
Guardsmen in defense of life and proper
ty Were buried yesterday afternoon, but
the pouring rain kept away the thousands
of sightseers that otherwise would have
marked the occasion with their presence.
The departure of the Twenty-third reg
iment early yesterday morning was the
second feature of the day and stirring
sermons in many city pulpits aided in
closing the Incident
The funeral of Leroy Smith, the prom
inent business man, which took place
during the afternoon, was devoid of in
cident, except that it was attended by
city officials and directors of the street
railway company. At the funeral of V." It-
lain Walsh, the second victim or the
strike, there was very nearly a riot.
AA bile the services were proceeding In
the church the crowd that had Imh-u un
able to gain admission saw a uniformed
soldier coming down the street. Instant
ly the people were in a state or ferment,
for Walsh had lieeu killed by National
Guardsmen. A rush was made for the
unlucky and unwise soldier, but a few
wise heads held the surging crowd back
for a minute while several other advised
the man to run. Arguing that discretion
was the Is'tter part of valor, he did run
and trouble was avoided.
The starting out of the first car In the
Inter-city line shortly after noon was the
cause of the demonstration. Pistols were
fired, flags waved, torpedoes were placed
on the track nnd exploded, the uiotormen
and conductors wore tings ou their coats
and fully 'JINI men and womei fought for
the privilege of the first ride.
When the conductor got the car started
ami rang up the fares he round that he
had 73 passengers where usually 'SI Is a
crowd. Within an hour so mnuy cars
were running that the monotony deterred
people from riding rr novelty' sake.
liishop illinni Creswell I Inane of the
Episcopal diocese towanls the end of a
sermon devoted to an appeal for more
open and prominent Christianity, spoke
of the strike. He said that it was
either the fault of the pulpit or the fault
of Christian men and women failing to
carry their Christianity into practical
fields that made it possible for a mob
largely composed of women and children
to cause the horrors of the past week.
If Christianity were properly adminis
tered, f politics kept its hands out of
serious situations, we should not have to
admit," he said, "that our people acted
last week like barbarian and animals."
In the congregation attentive to the
sermon were Brigadier (seuernl Oliver,
who commanded the troops while the
strike was ou, and his adjutant. Colonel
Cusliman.
The departure of the Twenty-third regi
ment enily in the morning was attended
with little excitement. Instead of going
down through the city the ment went to
the West Albany station Hour their camp
and the pouring rain kept the crowds
away. Hie men passed a very uncom
fortable night, the ruin pouring in tor
rents and making the tents almost unten
able.
Citizens as n rule have nothing but
praise for the guardsmen, who served
here under such trying circumstances.
Only about a half dozen men out of 3KSJ
mislsdiared themselves despite the fact
that the rain and mud In their camp gave
them incentive to spend their time else
where. Hiigadier (icneral Oliver, com
manding the troops, says:
I am heartily glad that the strike is
over and thus further trouble and possi
ble bloodshed are averted. The troops
have shown themselves efficient and
prompt in their work. Their conduct as a
w hole has lieen remarkable. v ith nearly
3,1 H XI troops here there has been almost
no breach of discipline under trying con
ditions, and a great deal or discomfort
owing to the heavy rain or Saturday
night and yesterday. Although it is re
ported that complaints huve been made
against the conduct of certuin of the
guardsmen by citizens, no such complaint
has Ihtii brought to me officially.
"The extraordinary rapidity with
which the trisu's were brought here Is
quite remarkable, as is the dispatch with
which they nre being sent to their respec
tive headquarters, (iovemor Udell,
through his representative. Major Gen
eral Hoe. commanding the forces of the
National Guard, has given me every pos
sible aid In responding to every request
1 had to make for additional troops.
Vegnrding the tnsips General Itoe said:
"The work performed by the troops has
been perfectly satisfactory in every re
spect, and in my opinion the state is to lie
congratulated in having an efficient mil
itary force to maintain the law.
In reply to an editorial which ap
peared in a New York paper yesterday
the officers of the United traction com
panv stated that the company had well
rewarded the non-union men and the
employes who remained at work during
the strike. To each ot the men ot the
two crews who tisik out the first car
X100 was given; lo each of the third crew
$!(); to every niotnrinnn and conductor
who remained in the sen-ice of the com
pany during the strike $'J0; to nil others
who did not strike a bonus ol t j as wen
board and espense.

MACHINISTS OUT ON STRIKE.
F:fty Thonsand Throughout the Country
0ey the Order to Quit Work.
WASHINGTON. May Sl.-Approxi-mutely
iSO.isiO machinists throughout the
country are in the fight fur a ninc-tn: r
day, a scale of wages cojial to the pr- -.-rut
Honour per day scale and other d
oiands. This U the rough estimate of
President O'Connell of the National As
sociation of Machinists, based on the tel
egraphic advh-c that have reached hsu
from the machinists' headquarters in the
Various cities.
The strike thus far has not extended to
the allied trades, save in oue or two in
stances, as at Scranton, Pa., where nu- i
in a part of the ailkd trades are out. No
machinists engaged In government work
are affi-cted. This is due to the fact that
on such work an eight-hour a day scale
already prevails. Railroad moi ' ' -'"ts a
a rule are not involved iu t -trike,
though the men on several ma ' ,i out.
The Central Vermont s'.op i Hiinist
at St. Album, numberii..' prob.i.ily 2 J,
have struck. The Lehigh Wiley rail
road machinists at Buffalo, .'...re,
Wilkcs-Karre aud Elmlra are out, aggre
gating about ritKl all told. Tbe Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western men at Buf
falo. Scranton, Wilkes-Karre and inter
mediate point re out. Tbe GuM, Col
orado and Santa Fe men are also out.
The strike order, however, does not ap
ply to the railroada generally. It i ex
plained at heudiiuarters that there is no
competition between the railroads aud
the private work and that work among
the private establishment is to be ad
justed first.
The situation was summarized by Pres
ident O'Connell in the following state
ment to the pn'ss:
"We are demanding a nine-hour duy
universally throughout the trade with an
Increase of wage sufficient to overcome
the loss or the hour in time; regulation or
the apprenticeship system nnd the num
ber that shall be employed, In accordance
with the number or journeymen machin
ist employed: agreement are to arbitra
tion of all disputes that may arise in
future; the right or the machinsts to be
represented hy a committee and agree
ments Hint there shall be absolutely no
discrimination against machinists be
cause ot their meuiliersuip in me union.
From he tproeent indiiatiuna and the
statements issuing rrom headquarter at
the various points the orders are being
generally obeyed and in larger number
thnu was anticipated. In certain case
here only a few hundred were expected
to be Involved, the indication are that
the number will be increased 50 per ceut.
The number of firms signing indicate
that in locnlitic where the agreement
are being made the strike will not last
over a tew duys.
In other localities, where a large num
ber of men are being involved, 1 look for
ward to an adjustuieut being reached
within the present week."
Following is a statement of the num
ber of men out ut important points: Hart
