St. Louis. Nov. 26.—Never have more perfect conditions prevailed since the opening of the World’s Fair than those that marked to-day, which was devoted to a tour through the exposi tion by President Roosevelt, accompa nied bv Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice Roosevelt and members of the Pres ident’s party. It was strictly a day of pleasure, and not the slightest incident arose to mar the perfect enjoyment of the oc casion. The heralded announcement that the nation's chief executive would visit the exposition drew tremendous throngs, and to guard him from pos sible danger that might menace him, secret service men, soldiers and po lice guards abounded, but they had comparatively little to do In preserv ing order. 'This is marvelous,” said the Pres ident, of the exposition. “It is beyond description, and exceeds my fondest expectations. I have had the best time I ever had in my life, and I have seen more than I ever expected to see in one day’s time.”* From 10 o’clock in the forenoon un til 6 in the evening the distinguished visitors following an arranged sched ule, hurried from one building to the next, from one part of the grounds to another, and overlooked nothing of interest. From the start until the end of the tour. Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice accompanied the President, and fatigue was forgotten in the enjoy ment of the day. Made His First Speech. The first speech of the day was made in the French pavilion In response to the welcome accorded by Commissioner General Gerald. President Roosevelt said: "One of your publicists has used the expression of the ’peace of justice,’ and 1 am particularly pleased at what you said as to the efforts of this country to bring about throughout the world the peace of justice.’ "I wish to propose a toast to Presi dent Loubet and the French nation, nnd may the bonds of friendship that have ever united them with the United states of America be even tightened in the future.” At the German pavilion Commission er General Lewald presented the President with a pokal, a massive metal goblet,from Aaschen. It contain ed a liberal draught of Rhine wine, and as the President sipped this, the donor explained the history of the gob let and its contents. , In the picturesque Chinese pavilion, President Roosevelt was presented with a painting, an Oriental figure 300 years old. Mrs. Roosevelt was the re cipient of a curiously carved and in laid box. In response to the felicita tions of the commissioner from China, Mr. Wong. President Roosevelt pro posed this toast: "May prosperity and unity attend the Chinese.” In I lie Jai|iuncNe Garden. A gieat crowd lined the roadway lending to the imperial Japanese .gar dens. \s the President’s carriage came opposite the crowd, among which were many Japanese, he was greeted with cries of "Banzai!” Me responded In kind with the Japa nese word, “Nippon." Proceeding to the tea house, the par 'V entered and partook of refresh jnents. As the President stood drink mg hi* tea on one of the balconies, two noted Japanese fencers Indulged In a match for his benefit. He expressed Pleasure at the aklll of the men. The party completed their visit to the national pavilions soon after mld u.‘ 5, ‘ w * M ' n luncheon was served In the " ’•* pavilion. This occupied about an nnut nnd was purely informal At tha °n elusion President D. H. Francis ittosa, and holdlug up a glass of chasn said: “J gaaii a to offer a toast that wIU Js>ateumab lUofning ffetojS. not require a verbal response, because ive are simply resting and sightseeing and not devoting ourselves to speeches. I desire that this toast be drunk stand ing in honor of one who exerts a very potential influence over the policy and destiny of this country—the lady who presides over the White House.” The guests were on their feet in stantly and merrily clinked glasses as they drank to Mrs. Roosevelt, who, smiling, bowed her appreciation, sit ting surrounded by American beauty roses, a bunch of which she carried with her as she entered her carriage to resume the day’s touring. Hi* First llpttalo. A hurried visit was made to the ag ricultural building and thence to the oßosevelt cabin* which sheltered the President in former years on the ranch. He evinced the greatest inter est in the old log structure and point ed out to Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice a buffalo skin, hanging within as having come from the first buffalo he had ever killed. The rest of the day was spent in the Filipino reservation. Guards had cleared the area of visitors and the entire place was given over to inspec tion by the presidential party. Dur ing the hour and a half spent in the Filipino exposition, every portion was inspected. In the Igorrote" village Chief Antonio, who has been to Washington and met the President, presented him with an album containing forty pho tographs of Igorrotes. A class of the natives sang ’’America” in the English tongue, having learned it since they came to the exposition. At the Lanao Moro villages the natives presented a beaten silver dish and a set of silver bottles to the President, who in ac cepting, said: “I thank you very much for this gift. My aim is to help you increase your happiness and prosperity, and I am very glad to meet you on this side of the water.” t Dntto Gave Him a Knife. Passing into the Samal Moro village adjoining, the President was met by Datto Facunda, who presented him with a big knife, saying through an Interpreter: “I give you my pira, which has been my own individual weapon and with which I have killed three enemies. There will be no more fighting in my country, and I will have no more use for my pira. I will give it to no body but you.” President Roosevelt accepted the knife and expressed his thankfulness that war was at an end and that dis posal of weapons was emblematic of peace. In the Visayan village the party was entertained in the native theater by dancing and singing. At the con clusion of the exercises, Miss Teresa Ramioz was Introduced to the Presi dent and presented a handsomely carv ed cane. The President took the cane and said: “In expressing my thanks for this beautiful cane, I desire to say that I w’ant you to go back to your homes and say that this government will do all that it can do for the mental and moral welfare and the happiness and prosperity of the Filipinos.” In the Bagabo village a sliver dish was presented and the President re sponded briefly in accepting. Congratulated on the Drill. With Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice trudging at his side, the President hurried from place to place, stopping only long enough to get a general idea of the exhibits, applauding the con stabulary drill and expressing his pleasure at all he saw. Just as the party was crossing the Bridge of Spain over the moat before the walled city In leaving tha Philip nine exposition. President Roosevelt suddenly halted in the middle of the bridge, and said to Maj. W. H. John ston. commandant of the Philippine scouts: "I want to congratulate you upon the remarkably clean and Effective drill of your battalion, which was very fine and impressive.” ’’You have Secretary of Taft to thank, as we are all his proteges.” quickly responded Maj. Johnston, smil ing "Yes, I know.” said the President. “I see now how much good Secretary Taft did in the Philippines. I will make an effort to have your battalion to attend the inauguration In Wash ington." / Maj. Johnston thanked the Presi dent warmly, assuring him that all the scouts would be glad to attend, as they had seen a little of America, and desired to see more. The visitors entered carriages and were driven to Machinery Hall. From Machinery Hall, the visitors were hur ried Into the electricity building, from the veranda of which they viewed the special pyrotechnic display ori festival hill and the Illumination of the cas cades wKh red lire. The President was greatly pleased with the beautiful ef fect* produced by tha vari-coiored lights and warmly expressed his ap preciation. Till* closed ths day’s pro gramme. To-night Prssldsiil Roosevelt was the guest of honor at g banquet ten dered by the exposition management. PLEA FOR RECEIVER FOR M., D. & S. R.

SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1904. MAY FIGHT NO MORE BEFORE NEXT SPRING. Opposing Armies May Now Be In Winter Quarters. Mukden Nov. 25. via Pekin. Nov. 26. The lapse of six weeks without fight ing on any large scale, confirming the belief that the opposing armies have relaxed for the winter, together with the unexpected demonstration of foree which the Russians have been able to make since the depletion of their army as the result of the fighting on the Shakhe river, emphasizes conclusively the failure of the Japanese to prevent the assembly of a large Russian army in Manchuria before spring, thus de feating the strategy of the Japanese and their most plausible plans for the earliest occupation of Manchuria. This outcome, taken in connection with the general situation, appears to guarantee that with the opening of spring there will “begin a contest far more terrible than any yet fought, and points to the termination of the war in the next campaign. It is still possible that there will be a general attack during the winter, but the weather is now broken and uncertain and secrr'igly renders it impossible for the troops of either army to aban don their present shelters. The hostilities are now characterized by individual efforts of a most daring and dangerous character. One out come of the close relations between the Russians and Japanese along the Shak he river has been the occasional blow ing up of houses by the opposing out posts and the sniping of their occu pants. Chinese authorities have taken pre liminary steps to bring grain from the north, and to store it for the use of the starving farmers and villagers. This action was brought about by the destitution which has been prevalent some twenty miles behind the Rus sian army, which is commandeering all grain and other food supplies, and also because of the fear that the army will move north again. Russian speculators are confident tha4 the army will hold its own, apd are storing straw and other supplies with a view to the coming of a time when higher prices can be obtained. As has been the case in all wars, there is a wide complaint that speculators and army contractors are fleecing the government, and the Russians are freely denouncing them as the partic ular curse of their country. RUSSIAN SQUADRON" IN THE SUEZ ROADS. Suez, Nov. 26.—The Russian battle ships Slssoi Veliky, flagship of Rear Admiral Voelkersam, and the Navorin arrived here to-day from Port Said. The rest of the division followed at short intervals and the whole of the division is now anchored in the Suez roads. The transit of the canal was effect ed in the most satisfactory manner and without incident. It is Admiral Voelkersam’s present intention that the whole division shall sail Sunday. In the meanwhile seven torpedo boat destroyers have moved outside the three mile limit, the au thorities having warned them that their twenty-four hours expired at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. No coaling will be allowed here. Only water and provisions can be taken on board. ANOTHER ATTACK UPON LONE TREE HILL Mukden, Nov. 26.—The Japanese on Nov. 24 again made a preliminary bombardment of Poutiloff Hill, under the cover of which they attacked, but were repulsed. There were encounters at other places along the front, but they were in the nature of small brushes and mostly took place at night. Yesterday there was a light fall of snow and the surrounding country now has all the appearance of winter. JAPS ATTACKED AGAIN BUT WERE REPULSED. St. Petersburg, Nov. 26. —A dispatch received from Gen. Kuropatkin, dated Nov. 26, says: “I have to-day received the follow ing dispatch from Lieut. Gen. Stoessei: The Japanese on Nov. 21 made anew attack on Port Arthur, but were re pulsed.” WOODEN D’sTlA NF Al LS. Coart Will Not Permit His Stock- Giving Scheme. New York, Nov. 26.—Dr. William E. Woodend’s plan to settle with the creditors of the bankrupt brokerage firm of W. E. Woodend & Cos., by Is suing to them stock In anew com pany. was disapproved tn an opinion handed down to-day by Judge Holt In the United States District Court. The ruling w*as based upon the fact that the statute under which the new company was organized provides that no stock shall be Issued except for a cash or property consideration. “The actual proposition,” said the court, "consists of an offer to pay debts with worthless stock, the accepfancs of which Involves a heavy personal liability. For Instance, a creditor for tl,ooo, would be forced to accept eleven shares of the stock, worth $2.76, and be personally liable for $1,100.” The firm of W. E. Woodend A Cos., was thrown Into Involuntary bank ruptcy several months ago by Its cred itors. Schedules subsequently filed showed liabilities of $227,000, with prac tically no assets. Immediately follow ing the failure, Dr. Woodend was ex pelled from the Consol Ida tad Brock Ex change . Borne time ago the business was re organised into a stock company, with a capital stock of $400,000 divided Into 4,040 shares, of which 1,640 axe com mon and 2,406 preferred. The article* of Incorporation provide that only the holders of the common stock ghall have voting power. Tremendous Russian Redoubt South of Liao Yang This Russian fort qost the Japanese 3,000 men. A semi-permanent redoubt on the level plain one mile south of Liao Yang, it was one of eleven similar earthworks forming the inner line of defense, Gen. Stackelberg's rear guard held it until 11:30 o'clock in the evening of Saturday, Sept. 3. This is the spot where many com panies of Oku's third division were nearly annihilated. NEW TRIAL FOR NAN PATTERSON PROBABLY MADE NECESSARY UY THE SERIOUS 11,1,MOSS OF OMi OF THE JURORS. Edward Dressier 1* the Juror—He Suffered n Stroke of Apoplexy—The Defendant Regret* the Probable Neeensity for a Sew Trial nnd the Consequent Delay—Wu Sure That the Jnry Would Aeqnit Her— Smith Not Yet Found. New York, Nov. 26.—The serious Ill ness of Edward Dressier, one of the jurors, which was reported at the opening of court to-day, may neces sitate anew trial In the case of Nan Patterson, the former show girl, who is charged with the murder of Caesar Young. An affidavit from the sick Juror's physician, which was presented to Jus tice Davis, said that the patient had suffered a stroke of apoplexy and that his condition Is serious. As this was the third attack fear was at once ex pressed that Dressier might not be able to resume his duties, and the work done during the past two weeks would be set at naught. Miss Patterson was in court when the adjournment was announced. She expressed keen disappointment at the sudden and unexpected Interruption In the progress of the trial. "I suppose this will mean anew trial,” She said, as she was being led back to her cell in the Tombs. ”i am sorry the juror is 111, both for his sake and for my own. I was sure the Jury would acquit me. If there must once ’ ,neVV trlal 1 hope U wIU come at Still Looking for Smith. One of the rumors current to-day was that ,T. Morgan Smith, Nan Pat ‘®r"on’* brother-in-law, who fled after he had been subpoenad to appear be fore the grand Jury, had been found and was locked up at police headquar ters. This report was later denied by the police, however. The prosecution has kept up an un remitting search for Smith ever since he disappeared. They charge that It was Smith who purchased the revolver with which Young was shot, and that he would prove to be their strongest witness If he could be found. Already Smith’s photograph has been Intro duced in the case and Identified, and the prosecution has promised that the pawnbroker who sold the revolver will also identify the photograph us that of the man who purchased the weapon. Mr. Rand asserts that some of the defendant’s witnesses before they went to the office of Abraham Levy and vol unteered their services for Miss Pat terson, called on him and declared that they had seen the‘shooting, and that the actress held the weapon In her hand. At that time, he says, these stories were considered hysterical, and the prosecution cast the offers aside. Lately, however, so many eye witness es have come forward, says Mr. Rand, that It became necessary to take some steps to rebut their testimony, and a special detail of detectives has been assigned to Investigate the stories of the witnesses as quickly as their Iden tity Is disclosed.
