Tho Krand chorus, "Hymn of tho West," was thtn sung by a choir led by Alfred Ern?t. Th' music of the hymn was by John Knowles Payne and lt. words were written uy j.dmund Clarence Mt-dman. President Francis then introduced Mayor Holla Welis, of St. Louis, who spoke briefly. Then th'ie were addresses by Thomas II. Carter, president of the national commission; Senator Henry E. XUirnham, of New Hampshire; James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who spoke for the national IIous? of Representatives, and Albino II. Nuncio, comissioner Kncrai for Mexico, The chorus of "America" was then sung, and the Hon. William II. Taft, secretary of war, acting as the representative of the President of the United States, delivered the last address of the day. ' When Secretary Taft concluded Director cf Works Isaac S. Taylor, who stood at the base? of the Louisiana monument, waved a white ribbon to men at the industrial buildings as a signid, the mechanism used to tinfurl the banners was put in operation, ar.d instantly thousands of Mass fluttered from tho poles on the many buildings of the exposition. To the thousands of visitors who could not be at the scene where the exercises were conducted it was tho f.rst sign that the fair was formally opened to tho public. Their eyes had been turned to the massive flagpoles on the structures for many minutes. A3 hundreds of emblems floated in the breeze the sightseers, with shouts of admiration, started for tho various view places, while bands throughout the grounds played. The throng of visitors promenaded tho various boulevards, saw the immense cascades, entered tho buildings and "took in" tho "Pike." The tirst feature of the exposition was the concessionaires parade. This was made up cf all the different features which will flcurei on "The Pike" during the life of the exposition. The Pike is to the St. I,ou!s exposition what "The Midway" was to the Columbian exposition in Chicago. The features, though different In character, furnish practically tho same form of amusement. Thrr were in this parade pome who had actually been nrescnt on the ijiuuua iiuuwn.) cievcu years ao, and many which had not been seen or heard of at that time. This procession with its cicrs and unique fittractions gave much pleasure and delight to the crowds, which chvrtd most enthusiastically during the entire length of its line of march. PRESIDENT TOUCHES KEY AND OPENS PAIR WASHINGTON, April SO. President Koosovelt to-day pressed the gold key which completed the electrical circuit and released the gigantic power of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, putting in motion the VX)-horsepower machinery and the fairy-like Cascades on the exposition grounds. The ceremony occurred in the East room cf the White House precisely at 1:14 o'clock. Eastern standard time. As the President pressed the key the Third battery of the United States artillery, stationed on tho grounds of the Washington Monument, fouth of the White House, fired a national .salute of twenty-one guns. Congratulatory messages then were exchanged between the President and Iavid It. Francis, president cf the Louii-iana Purchase Exposition Company. The historic ceremony was witnessed by a rotable assemblage. Among those who were guests of the President in the East room were the niemb rs of the Cabinet, except Secretary Taft, who i In Ft. Louis as the personal representative of the President; th chief Justice and the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States; Senator Frye, president pro te:n. of the senate; Speaker Cannon, of the House of Representatives; ambassadors. ministers and other representatives of foreign governments at this capital; the Missouri delegation in the Senate and the House, of vvrn)n n nn

Representatives and prominent people In the various wals of civil life. The Marine Hand was stationed In the vestibule of the? White House and rendered a puitable programme Immediately preceding and subsequent to the ceremony In the East room. The handsome mahogany table which supported th telegraph instruments was located In the south end of the East room. On it rested a small dais covered with blue plush; to the top of whl'-h was attached the gold key with which the President closed the circuit. The same dala and the same key have been Usd on several similar historic occasions. In President Cleveland used the key In starting the machinery of the. great Chicago fair, and In It was used to start the exhibit of the American Electrical Institut. The key and dais have been In the possession of Gen. E. S. Greeley, president general of the Sons of the American Revolution. A bell circuit connected the telegraph tabl with a signal beJl on the roof of the White House. A8 the President pressed tho key Major Montgomery pressed a bulb he held in his hand, that action ringing a bell on the roof. Instantly Private U. F. Hill of Company R, United States Signal Corps, located there, dropped a flag, thus signaling the battery of artillery that the machinery of the fair had been started. The talute followed. It was 1:07 o'clock when a fanfare of trumpets announced tho approach of President Roosevelt to the room. As he entered the East room, with Mrs. Roosevelt on his arm, the Marine Rand plaved the Inspiring strains of "Hail to tha Chief." The President faced the throng of distinguished people, standing immediately to the left of the stand bearing the historic gold key. The assembled guests arranged themelves in u semi-circle across the room, facing the President. As the strains of music died away a hush fell over the assemblage. Then the President delivered the following brief address i "1 have received from the exposition grounds the statement that the management of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition awaits the pressing of the button which is to transmit the electric energy which Is to unfurl the flag and htart the machinery of the exposition. "I wi?h.now to greet all present, and especially the representatives of the foreign nations hero represented, In tho name of the American people, and to thank these representatives fur the parts their several countries have taken in being represented in this centennial anniversary of the greatest step in the movement which transformed the American Republic from a small confederacy of States lying along the Atlantic seaboard to a continental nation. "This exposition is one primarily intended to show the progress In the industry, the science and the art, not only of the American Nation, but of all other nations, in the great and wonderful century which has just closed. Every department of human activity will be represented there, and, perhaps, 1 may be allowed, as honorary president of the athletic association which, under European management, started to revive the memory of the Olympic games, to say that I am glad that, in addition to paying proper heed to the progress of Industry, of science, of art, we have alo paid proper heed to the development of the athletic pastimes which are useful in themselves, which are useful as showing that it Is wise for nations to be able to relax as well as work. "I greet you all. I appreciate your having come here on this occasion, and In the presence of you, representing the American government and the governments of the foreign nations, 1 here open the Louisiana exposition." As the Inst words fell from his Hps tho President stepped to the table and closed the key, as already described. The exact time was 1:14:30 p. m. A second later the first gun of the national salute boomed out over the monument grounds. Spontaneously the spectators broke into hearty applause. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw stepped forward and grasped the President's hand cordially, congratulating him upon the auspicious opening of the fair. Representative Bartholdt. of St. Louis, then offered congratulations on behalf of the people of the exposition city. Ambassador Cassini, dean of the diplomatic corps, was the first of the foreign representatives to extend congratulations. He was followed by Ambassador Sternberg, of Germany; Ambassador Hengelmuller, of Austria-Hungary; Ambassador Aspiroz, of Mexico, and other members of the diplomatic corps. Ry direction of the President the following telegram was sent to President Francis: "I congratulate you and your associates on this memorable occasion. I wish well to all who have Joined in working for the success of this great enterprise; and on behalf of the American people I greet the representatives of foreign countries who have come here to co-operate with us In celebrating in appropriato fashion the onehundredth anniversary of the event which turned us into a continental nation." A congratulatory response was received from Mr. Francis. On the completion of the ceremony the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by some of those who were to take luncheon with them, retired to the private apartments of the White House, while the assemblage of other guests slowly dispersed. All agreed that it was a fitting celebration of a memorablo event in tho history of tho United States.

CASCADE CRESCENT, FOUR PERSONS SWALLOWS Texan Kills Man, Wife and Two Daughters, and Ends His Own Life. POSSE WAS IN PURSUIT PARIS, TCx., April CO. William Sheffield, his wife and two daughters were murdered to-day near Vailiant, I. T., by John W. Ilallenburg, a young farmer, who, it Is reported, afterwards committed suicide by taking poison on reaching ' the flooded river, with a posse In close pursuit, and finding that he could not cross the ttream. Ilallenburg was a son-in-law of Sheffield. His wife had deserted him and returned to her father's house. This, It is thought, led to the tragedy. Ilallenburg first shot his wife and then killed the other numbers of tho family, one of the victims being a girl about five years old. CIGAR STAND CLERK IS ' ASSAULTED BI CUSTOMER Augustus C. Richards Is Arrested and Gives an Assumed Name at the Police Station. Augustus C. Richards, 70S North East street, last night made an assault upon Elmer Black, clerk at the cigar stand in the Denison lobby. Richards approached the cigar stand, and after selecting several magazines, ordered cigars, which were set . out farther down tho case. When told the amount of his bill, he declared that he had already paid for the magazines. An argument resulted. In which the magazines were taken from under his arm. Black followed the man, still trying to get a settlement for the cigars, and the two parted in the barber shop. Black returned to tho cigar stand and a few minutes later Richards rushed in the front door, up to the cigar case and, without warning, rained a shower of blows over Black's head with a cane. Black was practically defenseless, and as the proprietors were also behind the counter, had trouble in getting out. lie managed to get around in front of the counter where he clinched Richards, the two falling to the lloor, where they were separated by spectators. Black states that he has had frequent trouble with Richards, and has only avoided hostilities previous to last night by humoring the man. Two ugly cuts were inflicted by Richards, who was himself bruised when he fell to the floor. It is said that Richards has caused trouble in other parts of the hotel. Bikemen Asklns and Duncan took him to the station, where he gave the name, "Dan Brown," and was slated for assault and battery. GRAND TRUNK MAY BE TIED UP BY A STRIKE TORONTO, Ont., April 30. Final steps have been taken by the Order of Railway Telegraphers employed on the Grand Trunk Railway that may lead to a tie-up of the entire line from Chicago to Portland. A request has been made to the minister of labor for the appointment of a conciliatory committee to inquire into differences existing between the company and their station agents and operators. If the minister declines to exercise his powers it is hardly possible that trouble can be averted. The telegraphers demand an increase in wages, readjustment of the working days, a certain number of holidays, and extra pay for Sunday work and overtime. BOSTON WOMEN MUST NOT ENTER GROG SHOPS BOSTON, April 30.By order of the Boston police board to-day, women will be barred from drinking liquor in the saloons of the city beginning Monday.

Japanese Reported to Have : Been Victorious on the Yalii

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) site Turen-Cheng and Siaopoussikhe. Toward 3 o'clock in the afternoon they occupied the island of Samalindo and spent the night of April on an island north of Sandakou. "The Japanese, who numbered 1,500, were received by the fire of our light cavalry, which, being numerically enforced, took boats and crossed to the right bank, whence they kept up a lively fire, occupying a narrow path along the bank, sheltered by a sharp ascent. Our light cavalry lost the chief of the detachment, Lieutenant Somenoff, and eighteen men wounded, but th-ir severe fire at 'short range against the Japanese, in close formation, must have intlicted considerable losses. "At 3:30 a. m. April 26. by their firing on the island opposite Turen-Cheng, our guns destroyed the bridge across the eastern branch of the Yalu towards tho island of Samalindo, forcing the Japanese to continue their passage of the river by pontoons south on Wijü. Toward midday a detachment of Japanese, with a battery of artillery, began a march upon Turen-Cheng, but meeting with the fire of our artillery they retired in disorder and confusion toward the place of their passage. . The Japanese battery did not have time even to come into action. "At 9 o'clock in the evening of April 27 some three battalions of Japanese crossed the Yalu at the village of Matoutsee, over the eastern branch of the river. The night of April 27-2S passed quietly. "On the morning of April 2S our scouts reported that the Japanese had occupied an island opposite the village of Sandakou, having screened advance posts on the left bank of the river. "Our troops continue to occupy their position on the right bank of the river." KU RO PAT KIN MAY TRY TO TRAP THE JAPANESE ST. PETERSBURG, April 30. All news from the front indicates that the armies of General Kuroki and General Oki, comprising about 100,000 men, are rapidliy pushing forward, and will be thrown across the Yalu as speedily as possible. Japanese transports have also appeared at the mouth of the Yalu r!ver, and, supported by a few war ships, will assist in the operations. The Japanese seem to be following closely the tactics pursued by them during the Chino-Japanese war, having already occupied Kulienchcng, above Xntung, where they crossed in 18'.5. The beginning of serious land fighting is thought to be not far distant, although a heavy movement of troops may not begin for several days, notwithstanding the Japanese are crossing at several points above Wiju. It is believed that the Japanese anticipated more resistance on the Yalu than they met with and that for this reason their armies were not in a position to cross at the moment the advance forced a passage. With the advance body some guns were hurried over and the Japanese outposts were entrenched. Desultory picket firing Is occurring constantly, but no importance Is attached to it. While the Russian plans never contemplated a strong resistance to the Japanese on the Yalu, it is evident that tho Japanese expected a show of defense cf the river and some surprise is manifested even here that almost no attempt was made to Impede the enemy's forces. In explanation of this, it i's significantly intimated by members of the general staff that General Kuropatkin has some secret plans and that the Japanese may soon find themselves In a trap. General Kuropatkln's skill as a strategist is a thing in which the Russian army reposes a blind faith. "Wait until the denouement," officers of the general staff say. They believe that General Kuropatkln's skill as a tactician approaches real genius. Many of the officers say that as chief of staff, Kuropatkin was largely instrumental in organizing the victories of General Skobeleft and delight to tell how, years ago, during the big field maneuvers at Moscow against Grand Duke Sergius, he drew the whole of the Grand Duke's artillery Into an ambuscade, ending the campaign at a single stroke. It is estimated that it will take the Japanese at least a week to bring over their men and baggage and to prepare for an advance on the first Russian line, which is strongly posted near Feng-Huan-Cheng, fifty miles west of the Yalu on the Peking road. The general staff does not believe that it will be possible for the Japanese to deliver a successful frontal attack on this position, the country being exceedingly difficult and also favorable for disastrous ambuscades. The members of the staff are inclined to think that the Japanese may try a flanking movement to the northward, but say that if they do so it can only be a diversion, owing to the bad condition in which the roads will be for the next fortnight. The talents of the respective commanders as strategists, it is expected, will be demonstrated by a series of moves and countermoves. Within the last few days General Kuropatkin has advised the Czar that he Is well satisfied with the dispositions made of the Russian troops to meet the Japanese advance on the Feng-Huan-Cheng. He has also made a favorable report on the strength of Hai-Ching line above NieuChwang and the conditions of the LiaoTung peninsula. It is said that General Kuropatkin on his arrival at Liao-Yang doubted the expediency of holding that place, but he is now convinced that it should and can be held. While it is admitted that the Japanese may be able to land at several places on the peninsula and even cut the railroad, it is believed that they will not care to take the risks involved in such movements. Vice Admiral Togo could easily hold the Rursian fleet In port during the disembarkation of Japanese troops, but, to insure their safety afterwards, he would be compelled to maintain constantly a superior force outside the harbor to prevent the possibility cf the Russian fleet seizing the Japanese base and cutting off their communications, leaving them to sustain, unsuLported, a land attack. "An invasion of Liao-Tung would be like an invasion of England." remarked an officer of the staff. "As Field Marshal Count Von Moltke said, 'there are many ways in; but not a single way out.' " ALEXIEFFS VIEW OF ADMIRAL TOGO'S PLANS ST. PETERSBURG, May 1, 4:33 a. m. A dispatch from Viceroy Alcxieff says: "The continued presence of the Japanese squadron off Vladivostok has convinced the authorities that Vice Admiral Togo has taken to heart the sharp lesson taught him through his failure to consider the possibilities of mischief by the formidable Russian division at that port and Is now seeking means to stop further raiding operations in the Sea of Jtpun. It ii evident that as soon as the Japanese were Informed of the operations of a Russian ship In Uoicun water the government instructed

.-..54..-.f. - AT WORLD'S FAIR. Vice Admiral Togo to detach a strong squadron and send it to Vladivostok to cut off the Russian ships and confine them to the harbor, so that they could do no further damage. The former purpose failed, owing to the celerity of Admiral Yeszen's movements. "While there is no expectation that Rear Admiral Yeszen will risk an encounter with a superior force by putting to sea, even on a raiding expedition, it is said that he is a boldcareful commander, and will spring surprises on the Japanese. "The authorities express satisfaction with the result of Rear Admiral Yeszen's cruise, as the anticipated division of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet was thus brought about and the Japanese will be hampered In carrying out their projects which compel participation by their entire force." JAPANESE STORY- OF LOSS OF TRANSPORT WASHINGTON April 30. The Japanese legation to-day received the following official report from Tokio on the sinking of the transport Kinshiu Maru: "Tokio, April 20. As the Ninth company, Eight y-seventh Infantry Regiment peace strength about 150 was returning to GenSan in the transport Kinshiu Maru, registered tonnage 2.383. after reconnoitering Yiwon and neighborhood Hangyongdo, they were stopped at 11:30 p. m. April, 25 off Sinpho by three Russian cruisers and torpedo boats. The Rossla then approached her. Her ship's captain, accompanied by the superintending naval officers and two other officers, went aboard the Rossla, where they were detained. The enemy gave an iiour's respite for surrender, but the soldiers, in strict discipline, obeying officer's order, refused. " At 1:30 a. m. the enemy discharged a torpedo, whereupon our soldiers, forming themselves into line on deck, exchanged fires with the enemy, during which many of our officers and men perished. At about 2 a, m. another -torpedo was discharged and. hitting the engine room, split the transport in two. Some coolies and merchants had previously taken to boats ard were subsequently joined by some soldiers after the explosion. "The boats were then rowed westward, and after indescribable sufferings the men reached Sinpho on the 27th. There were forty-five petty officers and privates, six coolies and three merchants. Most of the crew and coolies appear to have been taken by the enemy. All military except the above mentioned survivors are believed to have died. Of the company lost there were two captains, two first and one second lieutenants, one ensign, seventy-three privates and two interpreters. Of the surviving soldiers ten were slightly and one seriously wounded." PETROPAVLOVSK SUNK BY A JAPANESE MINE ST. PETERSBURG, May 1. The following telegram from Viceroy Alexieff, under date of April 30, has been received by the Czar: "The special commission appointed to inquire into the cause of the sinking of the battleship Petropavlovsk has established beyond a doubt the fact that the battleship struck a mine laid by the enemy within the radius of the customary evolutions of our fleet on tho occasion of its sorties Into the outer roadstead to meet tha enemy. The explosion of this mine under the bow compartments and bunkers of the Petropavlovsk resulted, according to the view of the commission of experts, in which I share, in a series of explosions through the detonations of the pyroxylin and the twelve inch shells In the ship's magazine and in the explosion of the powder cartridge stores, as well äs of the cylindrical boilers. These several explosions were observed In the two minutes which elapsed beforo the battleship was wrapped in a sheet of flame and disappeared beneath the sea." RUSSIA MAY GET IN TROUBLE WITH CHINA PEKING, April 30. The Russian censorship over telegrams has been extended to the station at Hsin-Min-Tun, Manchuria, which is about thirty miles west of Mukden. The Chinese government is greatly amazed at which Is termed Russian interference with the telegraphs at Hsin-MIn-Tun, with which place communication hitherto has been free and regular. The report that tho Russians are about to enforce martial law In the country west of the Liao river has been confirmed and in certain diplomatic quarters here the feeling that Russia is sec-king an occasion to quarrel with China is gaining ground. It 13 'declared here that certain Russian officials are circulating a story accusing China of having made a secret treaty with Japan regarding the port of Amoy and the province of Fu-Kien, and containing the statement that prominent Chinese and Japanese officials already have left Shanghai for Amoy to arrange the preliminaries of the treaty. Chinese and Japanese officials here unite in denying this accusation. NUMBER OF JAPANESE ON RUSSIAN SOIL ST. PETERSBURG, April 30. As a result of hi3 investigations Ambassador McCormick finds that exclusive of 570 Japanese in the island of Sahalin the total number of Japanese in Siberia is 351, of whom sixtythree are in the province of Amur, chiefly at Port Zeya, twenty-eight in the province of Prlmorvsk, chiefly at Nikolaievsk, and a major, and his wife, five soldiers, two merchants and an Interpreter under arrest as spies. They are all being concentrated at Stretinsk. whence as soon as navigation is opened they will be forwarded to Irkutsk. From there they will go to Berlin via the Black sea, the Russian authorities desiring to transport them go far as possible by water. ALEXIEFF SAYS HE SAW JAPANESE VESSELS ST. PETERSBURG, May 1.-2:40 a. m.-In a telegram to the Czar, dated April 30, Viceroy Alexieff says: "About 2 o'clock yesterday morning four Japanese torpedo boats appeared in the gulf of Usuri. off the Skryples lighthouse, but shortly afterward put out for the open sea again.
