Seattle Exposition Started
by Pressing Button.
KEY MADE OF ALASKA NUG5ET
Buildings Completed and All the
Exhibits In Place on Opening
Day, Beating All Pre
vious Records.
Seattle, WnHh., .June 1. The Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition Is open. Al
12 o'clock. Scuttle time, President Tuft
pressed the button which set the ma
ehlnory in motion, using for the pur
pose u key formed of Alnskn nuggets
As the 'wheels In the various building
began whirring nnd the latest of the
world's fairs was declared official!
opened one feature that excited the
-enthusiastic comment of the great
crowds present was that the manage
ment had lived up to Its motto of "the
show that will bo on time." Not only
were the buildings completed and the
grounds covered with grass and flow
ers, as though they had been planted
for years, but every exhibit was In
place. It Is the first time any exposi
tion has actually opened on the open
ing day, and the departure has proved
most welcome to the visiting thou
ands.
The ceremonies on the grounds be
gan two hours before President Tuft
PISHKIDKXT J. 13. CniLREUG.
on the other side of the continent,
pressed the button that made the great
fair a living tiling. The scene present
ed carried out Charles Dana Gibson's
verdict after visiting the grounds that
the A.-Y.-P. is "the most beautiful
exposition ever planned." Situated be
tween two fresh water lakes in a for
est, of great trees, w.lth one open colon
nade showing a background from dif
ferent angles, the natural setting to
tho picture Is ideal. There are the
usual buildings seen at expositions,
with the advantage that many of
these are to lie permanent and after
the fair is closed on Oct. ir will be
turned over to the University or Wash
ington, on whose campus the fair is
held. The fact that the exposition
grounds belong to a college Is the
cause of a third novelty, which Is that
this is a "dry" show, no Intoxicating
liquors being sold in the vicinity. Still
a fourth unique feature Is that this
exposition did not ask I'nclo Sam for
a cent. The .$000,000 which was spent
on the governmeiifbuildings was giv
en voluntarily.
The A.-Y.-P. is commemorative of
no past event. It Is hung upon to
morrow rather than yesterday, a
prophecy rather than a niemoVial. It
exhibits what are unknown and untie
veloped, the potentialities of the Pa
cific northwest, Alaska and countries
bordering on the Pacific. Otherwise
stated, it is an exposition of what is
very largely unknown rather than of
the highest development. Alaska has
re uml ned first In the title and Inspira
tion of the exposition. This territory,
for which we paid $7,200,000, produces
three times that amount every year
In gold alone. In the last forty years
It has produced, besides its gold. $S0,.
000,000 worth of furs, nnd Its fisheries
have handled a product valued at
000,000. The exposition serves to
show Americans that Alaska is an em
pire of agricultural nnd forest wealth
as well as a treasure box of minerals.
The far eastern countries bordering
on the Pacific, including the Philip
pines and Hawaii, have the most elab
orate exhibits at Seattle that they have
ever attempted anywhere. Here it is
possible to find out what these coun
tries need as well as what they pro
duce. Japan perhaps more than any
other eastern nation has grasped the
commercial Importance of the exposi
tion. For the amusement street of the ex
position a novel name nnd many novel
' features have been found. What was
the Midway at Chicago, the Pike at
St. Louis, tho Trail at the Portland ex
oosltlou and the Warpath at James-
town Is called the Pny Streak at Seat
tle. The administration of the exposition
has been in the hands of various de
partments, each backed by a commit
tee of the leading business men of the
northwest. J. E. C'hllberg. a pioneer
of Alaska and head of the Scandi
navian American bunk. Is president.

Harriman Says Prosperity
Is Surely at Hand.
PANIC'S EFFECT OBLITERATED.
Financier Sails For Europe, Saying
That There Will Be a Big Rise
In Stocks and Crops
Will Be Good.
New York. June 1. Edward II. ijjlar
rlman before sailing today for Kurope
on the Kaiser Wllhelm II. gave out an
optimistic Interview, In which he de
clared that prosperity Is surely at
hand, that the effects of the panic of
11H)7 have bien obliterated, that there
will 1k n big rise In prices of stocks
and that crops will be plentiful. lie
said:
"The business situation is on n very
substantial basis. . All It needs is it
realization on the part of the farmer,
whose Ultcrullty for labor and the pur
chase of material will contribute; to
ward sound conditions.
'The producing and consuming pow
er of the country is responsible for re
hahllltatlon of Industry, and no special
financiers cau be credited with this
condition.
"I do not think the outcome of tariff
legislation is of so much importance ns
the outcome of the crops. Good weath
er will do more for us than anything.
"I believe that the prosperity of the
country depends more today than ever
before on tile crops and the liberality
with which the farmer treats his
ground that Is to say. the liberality
with which lie purchases his supplies
and employs laltor.
"I ant glad to note that confidence Is
eturnlng. I saw evidences of that
everywhere on my last trip out west.
There had been a change of sentiment
"" ""( ive husino.s men who
believe that railroads Help develop a
country. The feeling Is now rather
I widespread that the panic of 1!I07 was
wilhnut any real reason. It will be
, ,, , ., . , ,
ml-v " l"c.s1ion of time when business
"will lie restored to its former basis.
Now we have a great deal of Idle
luonev been use Ininrovenioiit hns not
! yet reached all avenues of business.
The dancer of having too much idle
money Is just as great as having ton
many Idle men."
"Do you share Mr. Hill's views that
the people are not planting enough
wheal and Hint we may in the next
few years have a wheat fanilneV"
"There Is plenty of land which will
grow line wheal crops that lias never
been touched. Much of it is to our
north, and there are thousands of
miles In Siberia that will some day
grow wheal. No I do not think there
is any cause for Mr. Hill's alarm
about a wheat famine."
SENATOR DAVENPORT OUT.
Declines to Serve on New York Direct
Primaries Commission.
Albany. N. Y., Juno 1. Senator
Frederick M. Davenport of Oneida
county In a letter to Lieutenant Gov
ernor White declines the appointment
to serve on the joint legislative com
mission appointed to investigate the
quest Ion of direct nominations and re
port to the next legislature.
Senator Davenport was the only di
reet nomination advocate selected for
the commission. Ho assisted in draft
ing the so called Hinman-Green direct
nominations hill, embodying the plan
of Governor Hughes which was de
feated In both houses of the last legis
lature. He says In his letter:
"I am on record In the satiate In op
position to the appointment of this
commission on the ground thnt all the
information needed by any body has
either been gathered already or Is
. easily accessible.
"I think still that the proposed in-
1 vcstigatlon W a waste of the public
funds. It seems to me a time for re
treuchment and not for profligacy of
expenditure which can serve no use-
fill purpose."

LOWERJIJY VOTE
Aldrich Yields as to Tariff
on Bacon, Lard and Beef.
HOUSE RATES ARE RETAINED.
Increase Ordered In Import Tax on
Stout, Ale, Beer and Porter.
Senate Finishes Agricul
tural Schedule.
Washington. June 1. Agreements
were reached In the senate upon many
sections of the tariff bill, and the par
agraphs relating to agriculture were
til disposed of.
Mr. Thieon opposed the proposed ln
reases over the rates of the house
illl In duties on bacon and hams, lard,
fresh beef, etc.. and Mr Aldrich sur
prised the senate by withdrawing the
committee amendments, saying that he
believed the house rates, although be
low those of the Dlngley law rates,
were protective to those Industries.
The committee on finance had rec
ommended an increase from 4 to i
cuts a pound on bacon and hams, and
Mr. Itacou opposed these amendments.
After Mr. Itacou had declared that
the proposed Increases on bacon nnd
hams, lard, fresh meat, veal, mutton,
pork, etc.. would endanger the welfare
of the Republican party Mr. Aldrich
smilingly declared that as "he had the
welfare of the Republican party at
heart" he would withdraw the com
mittee amendment.
This action came as n surprise to
many senators, and Mr. Aldrich ex
plained that he had taken this, action
because he wanted to curtail the de
bate and did not believe the lower
duty provided by the house on these
irtieles would nlfcct the importations.
"If I believed." said Mr. Aldrich, t
that every item of tills bill raised the ,
price ot the article nucctcd then I
hould cease to be a protectionist."
"1 have no question whatever Hint
the rates on these articles are protec-
live." said Mr. Aldrich. "I am not !
failing in my duty as a protectionist in I
mauing tins change. At 4 cents a
pound there is no danger of any large
Importations of bacon and ham in this
country. When the Wilson bill was In
operation with a duty of 3 cents a
pound there were no Importations.
There is no possibility that there will
be large Importations of lard under a
duty of 1L. cents a pound, as fixed by
the house. There was no increase in
those Importations under the Wilson
bill.
"It Is not possible," Mr. Aldrich In
sisted, "to say that in making these
l eductions we have abandoned the pro
tective principle.''
Obtaining permission to reconsider
the action of the senate in adopting
the finance committee's nmendmauts
Increasing the duties on bacon, hams
and lard, Mr. Aldrich formally with
drew the amendments, and the lower
duties of the house bill were agreed to.
Mr. Itacou of Georgia moved to re
consider the paragraph on fresh meat
and game, but the senate refused to
do so by a vote of 40 to 32, nnd the
paragraph as amended by the fiunnce
committee was accepted.
Stout, ale. beer and porter were giv
en an increase of duty from 40 to 4."
cents when in bottles, etc., and from
20 to 25 cents per gallon when in bulk.

STRIKERS ATTACK CARS.
Violence Follows Attempt to Break
Philadelphia's Tie-up.
Philadelphia, June 1. Strike break
ers and niotormen from other cities
were put to work today In an effort to
break the strike of the niotormen and
conductors of the street car lines of
this city. Notwithstanding these lin
j portatlons very few cars were run.
' Tlteelwefl ill tin. lirlniln- nf lint sitrtlre
j breakers here, sympathizers of the
striking street car men made demon
strations at the barns whwe the new
j men are quartered, and many arrests
I were made by the police.
A crowd of strikers attacked Leslie
! Snow, a motornian, who drew a re
volver and fired live bullets Into the
crowd. The police rescued hint In time
to save him from serious Injury.
One of the chief demonstrations was
made at the West Philadelphia barn
when the strike breakers under heavy
police guard began taking out cars. X
squad of mounted police had to charge
the crowt repeatedly before It dis
persed. Finally the cars were started,
but they ran almost empty the entire
length of the route, while spectators
along the sidewalks made seofflrg re
marks. Mayor. Heyburn stated that he would
swear In 10.000 extra policemen if nec
essary and keep the ears running for
the convenience of the public. The
public will be accommodated, the may
or said. If the "city has to take over
'the rapid transit lines and run them
itself with the firemen, the police nnd
the extra police."
At a meeting of strikers John J.
Murphy, president of the Central La
bor union, pledged the support of tho
Central Labor union to the trolley
men. "If the Rapid Transit company
don't come to time by Thursday." he
said, "there will be a general strike de
clared by Friday. We will parade on
Itroad street on Saturday and show
them our strength.
"The elevated and subway men as
well as the power house men are ready
to Join us. and as for my own union,
the Melal Workers. 1 can say that If
they don't get in line 1 will let the
lights go out."
RAILROAD TO ARBITRATE.
Labor Commissioner Neill Unable to
Settle Georgia Strike.
Atlanta. (ia June 1. Vnalile to
agree upon the terms of settlement,
the oilieials of the Georgia railroad
and of the l'.rolherliood of Firemen
have Invoked arbitration under the
Krdmau law.
Commissioner of Labor Neill and
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate com
merce commission notified both parties
to the dispute to select an arbitrator
within five days. These two men will
select a third.
The disagreement came over the re
tention of negroes. The firemen first
demanded the dismissal of all negroes.
This was refused flatly. The firemen
then proposed that negroes now em
ployed or who were employed prior to
April 10 should be retained. They de
manded that all white firemen should
have seniority over all negroes.
In addition, they asked that at no
time should the number of negrooB
cmpkjycd exceed Lr per cent of the
white firemen on the company's pay
roll. If at any time the number of
negroes employed dropped below 2."
per cent no more were to be employed.
It is said that the Georgia railroad
might have consented to this but for
the opposition of the terminal com
pany. All other disputed points and de-
mauds were conceded except the sen
j Iori.v ,,f white men and the limitation
to negroes employed.

ZEPPELfJJ.M
Disaster to His Airship a
Great Blow to Count.
GLOOM SPREADS OVER GERMANY
Nearly a Hundred Feet of the En
velope and Frame Destroyed
When Mammoth Dirigible
Strikes Tree and Falls.
Goepplngen. Germany, June 1. Count
Zeppelin is in despair and all Germany
Is in gloom over the disaster to the.
new Zeppelin airship, which crashed
Into a tree here after making a record
flight of S. miles in thirty-seven
hours.
The damage to the ship Is much
more serious than at first thought.
The envelope was torn, and It was
thought that the Injury could be re
paired and that the vessel would pro
ceed toulght. A more careful exam
ination, however, disclosed the fact
that the prow was broken and that a
considerable time must elapse before
the journey could be continued.
The position of the craft is extreme
ly unfavorable, the ground being very
hilly. The bow rests on the ground,
while the stern is about sixty-five feet
in the air. A strong breeze sprang up
toward evening, causing no little anx
iety for the safety of the airship,
which It was feared would be wrecked
should a storm could up.
After considerable labor and with
the assistance of some of those who
had gathered at the scene of the acci
dent Count Zeppelin was able to shift
the position of his airship a little and
thus give better protection from the
wind.
That the collision was a heavy one Is
indicated by the broken and bent
strips of aluminium lying about the
ground and the half split brunches
dangling from the tree trunk.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose
of replenishing his supply of Ix'ir.lne,
which was nearly exhausted. The mo
tors had already slopped, and the air
ship was Hearing t lie ground on a
meadow when a strong puff of wind
drove the prow out of its course and
against a pear tree.
II struck with a great crash, smash
ing the prow almost up to the front of
the gondola and crushing the alumi
nium stays Into a shapeless mass,
which became inextricably enmeshed
in Hie branches. Nearly a hundred
feet of the envelope and frame was
destroyed.
Count Zeppelin Immediately caine to
Goepiilngen in an automobile and tele
graphed to l"l m for pioneers and to
Friiylriclishafon for workmen t make
repairs.
Permanent repairs probably will re
quire six weeks In order to get the
ship to Mauzell. A new prow much
shorter than the original one will lie
constructed without the vertical steer
ing planes.
ROBERT T. LINCOLN STRICKEB
Son of Martyr President Overcome by
Heat at Unveiling.
Hogdenville. Ky.. June 1. Hubert T.
Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, was
stricken by heat toward the close of
the ceremonies of unveiling his fa
ther's statue at Hogdenville.
Mr. Lincoln, who is president of the
Pullman Car company. Is sixty-six
years old. and the tierce rays of tlie
sun beating on the canvas over his
head, the emotion Incident to the me
morials and the fatigue of his journey
almost unnerved him.
He leaned heavily on the arm of
Henry Watterson, who spoke at the
exercises and later accompanied Mr.
Lincoln to his private car. Mr. Lin
coln soon was completely restored. His
chief regret was that his illness pre
vented his taking the three mile ride
from Hodgenvllle to see the cabin
wherein his father was born.
TWO BOYS KILLED BY BOMB.
Forgotten Piece of Fireworks Explodes
Among Lads at Play.
New York, June L Two boys were
killed and their two playmates were
seriously injured by tho explosion of
a forgotten fireworks bomb in a va
cant lot behind a factory building In
North Woodslde, N. Y.
The boys found the bomb while at
play, and one of them lit the fuse.
Harry Kelser, fifteen years old, was
killed Instantly, and George Jaegger,
twelve years old, died In a hospital
soon afterward.
The bomb was one of the kind In
tended to explode at a great height
when fired from a mortar. The police
found two others In the field. The
factory building was formerly used In
the manufacture of fireworks, but had.
not been occupied for several months.
