Sheriff Lang ford and Deputy Sheriff Bache have ar rived here from "Wichita. Kan., bringing with them a man who was said to be James C. Dunham. This forenoon scores of people who knew him intimately came to the jail and positively asserted that the prisoner is not the long-sought-for mur derer. Deputy Sheriff Marcen, who yes terday was positive that the man was Dunham, is today equally positive that his flrst opinion was erroneous. Many resi dents of Campbell came In, and none iden tified the prisoner as the man wanted. The prisoner says that he did not make a confession in Kansas, and that he is not the murderer. The crime lor which Dunham has been hunted was most atrocious. The night of May 27, 1S96, Dunham strangled his wife as she lay in bed. Then he brained Min nie Shesler, a servant, with an ax, and almost killed Mrs. McGlincy. Mrs. Dun ham's foster-mother. Colonel McGlincy, James K. "Wells, Mrs. Dunham's brother, and Robert Briscoe were shot -as they re turned at midnight from a meeting near San Jose. Dunham then saddled a horse and escaped to the hills. No trace of him was ever found, and, though 20 men have been arrested on suspicion in various parts of the country, the man who has Just been brought from Kansas is the flrst to answer the description of the murderer. The suspect says his name h Charles F. Crlll; that he was born In Rome. N. Y, in 1860. PUEBLO. Colo., May L Charles F. Crlll was formerly an advertising solicitor In Pueblo, and left here for Cripple Creek about Ave years ago. He was married -while here to Miss Schrelber. The Case of Callahan. OMAHA. Neb.. May L James Callahan, in Judge Baker's court this morning, was permitted to withdraw his plea of not guilty to the charges of grand larceny, robbery and false imprisonment in the Cudahy kidnaping case, and to enter a plea, at bar that, having been acquitted last week on trial for highway robbery of Cudahy, he could not be put In jeo pardy again lor that affair. "When the trial Is called, if at all, on these three remaining charges, the plea at bar will be passed upon. The state will probably file charges of perjury committed in last week's trial, the maximum penalty for which Is 14 years. General Cowin believes that the plea at bar will effectually stop any trial on the three charges in con nection with the abduction to which it is set up. Mrs. Nation In Jail Again. WICHITA.

Co, Ready to Begin Work at Once. OPENS BIG FACTORY DISTRICT Hand of Northern Pacific Railroad Sees. In. the Price Asked for Riffbt of Way Across Mode's Bottom. The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company will build an extension to St. Johns as soon as it can get the right of way. Surveys have been made, the line has been located, and the company is anxious to begin work at once. Ap plication was made to the County Court yesterday for permission to build on Bradford street In St. Johns. This be ing a street in an unincorporated town, is under the jurisdiction of the County Court. County Surveyor John A. Hurl burt was directed to Investigate and re port. That the O. R. & N. realizes the value of the Penslnsula as a manufacturing field is shown by the following statement which President Mohler made to an Ore gonlan reporter yesterday: "Yea, the Navigation Company is endeavoring to acquire right-of-way for the extension of tire St. John's line, for the purpose of affording lo cations to Industries likely, to seek Portland, especially of a manufac turing character, -where suitable ground can ho obtained at reason able cost. "Portland's ultimate strength vrlll lie in her being able to manufacture a large per cent of vrhat she sells --this is -what will make a solid and permanent commercial center. "Other than this, notwithstanding the large outlay required, the Navi gation Company has no other in terest." It Is not unlikely that the O. R. & N.'s move on St. Johns will precipitate a big fight -with the Northern Pacific. This company's protege the "Washington & Oregon seems to he on the ground floor at Mock's bottom, through which the O. R. & N. asks right 'of way. A high price is demanded for the privilege, and as tne u. n. & n. considers It exorbitant, the case will probably go Into the courts. The O. R. & N.'s purpose. in extend ing Its line to St. Johns Is to make as cesslble to transcontinental railroad transportation a large area on the Penin sula which Is suitable to manufacturing. Among the big enterprises mentioned in connection with the Peninsula are a $1,000,000 smelter, a sugar refinery and a foundry and machine shops. The conv pany is interested in having these plants located close to its terminal asltsraU way and steamship" lines tap the sources of the raw material and have access to the distributing markets. In addition to this, if the East Side gets the new dry dock, St. Johns will stand a good show of being the location. The route which the O. R. & N. has surveyed to St, Johns passes from south to north through what is known as Mock's bottom, a tract of 370 acres lying to the east of Swan Island. "When this land was sold to Russel & Blyth for $50, 000 on April 6, the general impression was that the O. R. & N. Co. was the real purchaser. The sale was taken as the indication of a very important movement In which the O. R. & N. was thought to have a hand. It was believed that the plan In view included the use of a large portion of the low-lying land for docks for shipping. Slips for vessels can easily be excavated at that place, and there is ample room. Switches and tracks can be run into every slip. Asks JSIO.OOO for Right of Way. It is now clear that Mock's bottom was not bought for the O. R. & N., and that the company has no interest in the land. Mr. Russell and Mr. Blyth authorized a statement to that effect when seen at their office yesterday. They declined to say for whom the land was bought, or what use Is to be made of It. Neither would they discuss the negotiations which the O. R. & N. has had with them relative to securing right of way through the bottom. It was learned from another source that Russell & Blyth ask $10,000 for the right-of-way privilege; that the O. R. & N. has refused to pay this amount, and that the negotiations are practically off. The only course now open to the O. R. & N. Co. Is condemna tion proceedings against Russell & Blyth. Mr. Russell and Mr. Blyth were told that this would probably be the next step. Mr. Blyth said the firm is not worrying; that it owns the land and that there are other railroads besides the O. R. & N. It Is apparent that Russell & Blyth get their stiffening from some under standing or agreement with the "Wash ington & Oregon, which Is building from Kalama to Portland, crossing the Co lumbia River at "Vancouver on a bridge which will cost $1,250,000. This Is In real ity a Northern Pacific enterprise, though reports have it that the Great Northern and the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy are interested. The preliminary survey made by the "Washington & Oregon for entry Into Portland begins at Fowler ave nue, at the Northern boundary of the city on the East Side. It follows Fowler avenue until It comes to the high ridge overlooking Mock's bottom, where a tun nel is made to reach the bottom. From the bottom the surveys diverge. One strikes westward and contemplates a bridge across the "Willamette, with piers resting about the center of Swan Island. If this route Is adopted, the "Washing ton & Oregon will connect with the Northern Pacific's present road to Puget Sound and thus have access to the Union Depot. The second survey, leaving the point of divergence on Mock's bottom, skirts the Eastern banv of the "Willam ette to the steel railroad bridge. Lines have been run for a new bridge to cross the "Willamette approximately between the old drydock site on the East Side and the O. R. & N. boatyard on the "West Side. The "Washington & Oregon engineers do not think favorably of this second bridge, and have put It on their maps simply to show that the plan is feasible. The purpose of the "Washing ton & Oregon, of course. Is to reach the "West Side. If this cannot be done by a route leading to the steel bridge there remains the plan of bridging the "Will amette at Swan Island. Mock's bottom is considered the best-route for the O. R. & N.'s extension to St. Johns. It is also the "Washington & Oregon's best way of reaching the water front on the East Side. The importance of the bottom to the two great railroad systems doubtless explains the stiffness of Russell & Blyth in the right-of-way matter. The O. R. & N.'s Petition. Following is the O. R. & N.'s peti tion to the County Court: Your petitioner, the Oregon Railroad & Navl- gatlon Company, presents this; its petition, and respectfully shows to yopThonors as fol lows: That the petitioner la a, corroratlon, duly or- f gantzed and existing' -underCand by virtue of. the laws of Oregon and .has its principal of fice at Portland, Or.

CHURCH IN PHILIPPINES. Archbishop Ireland Confers on the Question With Root. NEW YORK, May li Evidence that the Philippine trouble is rapidly drawing to a close, says a special to the Tribune from Washington, is found in the fact that Archbishop Ireland has been- In Washington for two or three days, and has held several conferences with Secre tary Root. From the beginning of the negotiations looking to a settlement of the church question. Archbishop Ireland has been the representative in this country of the Vatican. The distinguished prelate has succeeded In keeping himself from the public view in his present visit to Washington, and this circumstance adds strength to the belief at the capital that he has come to confer with the authori ties regarding the treatment to be ac corded to the millions of church property of which the friars have been dispossessed by the insurrectionists. In the last month Judge Taft has sent to Secretary Root many confidential com. munications on this subject. It is pre sumed that they contain recommendations which the Secretary is now studying c$re fully so that he may assist the Taft Com mission In formulating a policy to be pur sued toward the church Interests. Arch bishop Ireland also is supposed to ..be prepared to deal finally with the question for Uje chutchandit jn therefor thought; that he asd SecretarjRoot can soon ar rive at a decision: satisfactory to all Inter ests involved. Their decision will prob ably be communicated at an early date to Judge Taft for his guidance. Deaths in MncArthur'a Army.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May l.-1-Several months ago a local brewing concern dis patched an agent to Manila with 36,000 bottles of beer. The Government Inspect ors examined the beer, commended Its qualities, and it was Immediately sold for cash. In addition, contracts were signed by C. Helnzer & Co., of Manila, for 500 barrels of beer per month for a period of four years, and with N. Conau guke, contracting agent for a large Chi nese concern, for 100 barrels a month for two years. Both firms previously Import ed German beer, which it is claimed does not keep well In the tropical climate. The largest contract secured was with the Russian Government's purchasing agent at Port Arthur, who contracted on behalf of the government to take 1000 barrels a month. The local concern now has under consideration a plan to establish a branch brewery at Manila with a capacity of 50,000 barrels a year. Volunteers Mustered Out. SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. The Twenty eighth Infantry was mustered out today at the Presidio. The Thirty-fifth will be mustered out tomorrow. CounterfeitexV Plant Captured. BUTTE, Mont., May 1. The arrest a few days ago of William Dougherty and John Mulligan for passing counterfeit $10 gold pieces has led to the capture of a com plete outfit for making spurious coin. The movements of both men were traced and It was found they made frequent trip's to a cabin on the Northern Pacific a few miles this side of Pipestone Springs. To day, Chief of Police Lavelle and Detec tive Murphy went to the cabin and there found one of the most complete plants for making bogus money ever seen In. these parts.

BANQUETED BY BUSINESS MEN S7eech.es.at Jsckseaaad Vicksbnrg, Miss. Tfei. Evening: the Journey to California Will Be Resumed. NEW- ORLEANS, La., May 1. The Presidential party traveled across the cot ton belt today from Memphis almost to the Gulf of Mexico. Down the low-lying Yazoo Valley, fertile as that of the Nile, OFFICERS OF THE PAN y. -. fh PRESIDENT it went to Vicksburg, teeming with Its memories of 30 years ago, thence east to Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, and from there' down into the laud of the magnolia and the orange to this romantic city near the mouth of the Mississippi, with its traditions of French and Spanish rule. The outpourings of the people to see the Presidential train along the route today were larger than on the two previous days and the demonstrations at Vicks burg and Jackson, the two principal stops, were very striking. At some of the stations the crowds actually Impeded the passage of the train and the engineer was obliged to slow down to avoid running over enthusiastic people. As the. sun was lowering, the train crossed the bayous with their tangles of moss-covered cy press and live oak, and, skirting Lake Pontchartraln, steamed into New Orleans. ever had a visit from a Chief. Magistrate of the Nation and it was a royal recep tion which the old city extended to Presi dent McKlnley. The air was full of the booni of cannon and the screams of whistles of the harbor craft as the train "drew Into the station. Here the Presi dent and his party were greeted by Gov ernor Heard, Mayor Capdevllle, Sena tors McEnery and Foster, the entire Louisiana delegation In Congress, the City Council and representatives of the various exchanges. While the Mayor ,was formally extending the hospitality of the city to the President, a fine military band was completely drowning his words with New Orleans' favorite air, "Louis iana Lou." The crowd around the station was so dense that it required heroic efforts of the police to keep the path to the carriages clear. A big military pa rade, consisting of the Louisiana Cavalry troop, the Washington Artillery and all the militia from this end of the state. 4 escorted the party along Camp and Canal streets to the new St. Charles notei. Tne crowds In the streets were tremendous. The Iron-wrought galleries which em broidered the fronts ofcthe buildings fairly groaned under their burdens of human freieht. Never, except In Mardl Gras times, were they known to be so choked and jammed with surging humanity. The feature of the crowd was the great num ber of handsome women who watched the procession from the windows and galler ies. Mrs. McKlnley and the ladles of the party dined quietly at the hotel and later received the ladles of New Orleans. TJie Nevr Orleans Bano.net. ' The President and his Cabinet, with the other gentlemen of the party, were given an elaborate banquet at the hotel In the evening. About 300 of the prominent men of New Orleans were present and the banquet is said to have exceeded In 'every respect anything of a similar char acter attempted heretofore In this city. Senator McEnery presided. Governor Heard, Mayor Capdevllle and the Presi dent responded to toasts. It was 10:30 when the President rose to speak. He said: "Mr. Governor, Mr. Mayor and Gentle. men: I cannot nna praise or speecn to express the profound appreciation which I feel for the warmth of your welcome and for the gracious words spoken In your behalf by the Governor of your common wealth and the Mayor of your city. Since my Journeying through the South, leaving Washington last Monday morning, I have received In every state through which I have passed, in every city and village, town and hamlet, a genuine greeting from all the people, and tpnight I have the crowning consummation of a welcome from the representative people of the Crescent City.. "The Governor has well said that we will always have differences. Men who think for themselves will always have convictions upon public questions, and these convictions cannot always be the same. The difference of opinion is grant ed, and freely granted, among American freemen, and fully exercised by the Amer ican people. I was wondering, while the Governor was talking, what really were our differences. My eyes turned toward Judge Blanchard, and I recalled that we did not differ about river and harbor im provements, and that we were in favor of every just and reasonable extension for the Improvement of the commerce of the Mississippi River. When I heard the Gov ernor tell what I knew so well, and had occasion so many times to feel, how the people of Louisiana rallied around the Stars and Stripes, and were earnestly urg ing for an opportunity to go to Cuba to fight the battles for an oppressed people, I could not but think that there were no differences between us in the war with Spain. And tonight, I remembered It Is only a memory how the citizens of Lou isiana gathered about the table of the ways and means committee when I had the honor of presiding over that commit tee, assuring me that they must have protection on sugar and rice. And then I reflected that there was no difference be tween us about protection certainly none . X.VSSSSa?9CiK?iXSSHIU'- J UIMiJF -rf on the question of sugar and then when I remembered that this banquet is held tonight Jn the City of New Orleans, and recalled that It was your territory that ha'd expanded Into more states than any other territory that ever came to the United States, it did seem to me that possibly we were not greatly in disagree ment on the, subject of expansion. And then I remembered also that you had al ways been in favor of Internal Improve ments and of external commerce-, and we are all for those things. "There is nothing we need so much as commerce. Commerce Is a great diplomat ist. Fair trading makes fast friends.. Commerce, like a circulating library, car ries enlightenment wherever it goes. And then I remember that we are all for the open door in. China that we may send our products of the cotton fields, made up Into cotton goods, to the millions in the Orient." A guest here called out: "But the isth mian canal?" "And then but I cannot pursue it fur ther, for I don't think It Is well to dis close too much unanimity here tonight. Am I mistaken when I say that upon an other subject we are in agreement? "We are for good money, and plenty of it. So when I remembered what had been told me just before leaving "Washington that I must be careful to speak of nothing about which there would be differences, - AMERICAN EXPOSITION. ,'.'Y" .5v HLBURN' Qflj, DIRFCTOREnRUCrfmjgi and my friends said 'You will be very much limited In your field of discussion, when I came to reflect to see what a wide, broad field It is, to discuss only those things about which we are in ac cord would take more of my time than I could claim of yours. "My fellow-citizens, history cannot omit New Orleans from Its pages. Its past will always engage our admiration. Its romance of antiquity, the quaintness of ancient days is combined with a spirit of energy which makes it one. of the most progressive of our modern marts of com merce. Its historic associations have se cured for it an enduring place In the an- I nals of the American Republic. It has not 1 always been under the tame form of gov ernment, and the same sovereignty. The map of more than one nation has traced It within Its boundaries, and In more than oneslanguage its laws have beep adm!B?T lstered within a period of little more than a century. "Jefferson appreciated more than any other public man the commercial advan tages of the Crescent City. The flag which Jefferson ralsea over this clty Jackson successfully defended with the brave volunteers of the Territories of Louisiana and Mississippi. Illustrious In American history is the 5th of January, the day on which was fought the battle of New Orleans. If there are two names to be revered more than others, they are Jefferson and Jackson. , (Applause.) Pre cious, however, as they -are in your hearts and history, they don't belong to you alone. The whole Nation claims them and renders grateful homage for their priceless services to country and to man kind. They belong to civilization and to the ages. What history they have made! To be the author of the Declaration of In dependence was honor enough for any life. To have made the treaty with France, adding to the Union a territory larger than the 13 original states, and out of which have been carved six entire states, and parts of six others, resting forever upon tne principles of that im mortal Instrument, crowned a single life with a record of achievement with few, if any, parallels In human history." Tomorrow the party will drive about the city in the morning and In the afternoon take a sail along the river front. At 6 o'clock In the evening the Presidential party will resume Its journey towards the Golden Gate. THROUGH MISSISSIPPI. First Speecn of the Day Wu at Vicksburgr. VICKSBURG, May 1. Through the low rich valley of the Yazoo the Presidential special sped southward to New Orleans today. Although the President- and his party, did not reach the train after the big demonstration at the Memphis ban- jjuet last night until after 1 o'clock, the President was up early this morning. Several times he appeared on the rear platform and acknowledged the cheers' of the crowds at the small stations with a wave of his hand. Among the members of the Cabinet, the President's speech last night, with its pointed allusions to the principle of sub sidies as a means of enlarging transpor tation facilities for the expanding South of Greater America, with the shining pic ture he drew of the commercial possi bilities In the Orient under the "open door" policy in China, to which his ad ministration has secured the adherence of the other powers. Is regarded as an ex ceedingly important utterance and one which will instantly receive the attention of the country. His reference to the ac tion of the Tennessee Legislature, which half a century ago claimed that the cot ton trade of the Orient belonged legiti mately to the South, Is considered partic ularly forcible. Vicksburg, with Its swarming memories of the Civil War, was reached at 12:30 o'clock. In rpply to the welcome extended by the Mayor and citizens, the President spoke as follows: "It gives me very great pleasure to re ceive the official greeting of the Mayor and the warm-hearted touch of the peo ple as they give us greeting to this his toric city. The highest expression of sat isfaction at this most cordial reception is in the single word that you make me feel at home. Nowhere In my native state of Ohio could I receive warmer or more sincere welcome than I have received at the hands and from the hearts of. the people of Mississippi, and In the moment that I have to enjoy with you I can only make my acknowledgments and congrat ulate you on the fact that you share In the universal prosperity and contentment so characteristic at this time of every part of our common country. We know that, whatever others may say or think, this, to us and for us, is the best coun try In the world. It Is the land we love and it is the land of possibilities and of (Concluded on Third Page.) GATES WERE OPENED First Day of the Pan-American Exposition. RAIN KEPT THE CROWDS AWAY Formal Dedication Ceremony Post poned Until May 20-Efforta Be ine: Made to Get Exhibits In Place. BUFFALO, May 1. The beautiful elec trical display tonight was the culminating event of the opening day of the Pan American Exposition. The attendance this morning was small, owing to the weather, which kept many away from near-by towns. Later In the day when the sun broke through the gray clouds, the crowd began to assume the propor tlons of an exposition tnrong. and tonight thousands passed through the turnstiles. The gates were opened thl3 morning without ceremony, the opening day cere. monies having been postponed until May 20, when they will be combined with ded ication day exercises. The change in tne date, however, did not cause a. relaxa tion of the strenuous efforts being put forth by every one connected with the exposition to have everything as nearly ready as possihle for today's opening. The appearance of the buildings and grounds this morning bore ample evi dence of their efforts. Storm and the In evitable delays incident to any under taking of such magnitude made Impos sible the realization of the hope that this might be the first of the great expo stlons to be completed on Its opening day. But so much more already has been wrought than was deemed possible at the inception of the project that all are sat isfied with the extent and beauty of the fair as It appears this morning, carried through the beginning by the citizens ol Buffalo without state or Federal aid. William Hanuln was permitted by agreement to purchase the flrst ticket having offered some time ago o pay $500C for the privilege. The ticket Tias sent tc him yesterday. At noon the pi id admis sions only aggregated about i,0CO, thi majority of the visitors being employe! or others entering on passes.
