Jefferson's Change of Front. Another incident which it seems to me we may recall today with profit and sat isfaction grew out of the conduct of the President when the treaty of 1803 had been formulated and was returned to him for ratification and final completion. He was, as Is well known, originally quite lirm in his belief that the Constitution as It stood did not authorize such an exten sion of our limits by purchase as the treaty for the acquisition of the Louisi ana territory contemplated. Holding this opinion and at the same Jtlme confronted with the clear conviction that the treaty with all its stupendous advantages could not be allowed, to fall without positive peril, if not to our National life, at least to Its most vital object and aspirations, his perplexity was increased by the re ceipt of an authoritative intimation that any delay In final action on the treaty might open the way to a recession on the part of France. In these circumstances, not daring to risk the delay of an amend ment to the Constitution prior to such final action, he proposed reconciling con sistency witn duty by procuring a con firmation of the treaty by the Senate and compassing its unquestionable validation by a subsequent constitutional amend ment. In view of the conclusive settlement since that time of this constitutional question by every branch of the Gov ernment against Mr. Jefferson's original opinion and in favor of the Nation's pow er to acquire territory as was done under the treaty .. of 1S03, and considering the fact that we have since that time im mensely Increased our area by the acqui sition not only of neighboring territory, but of distant Islands of the sea, separated by thousands of miles from our home do main, we may be Inclined to think lightly of President Jefferson's scruples concern ing the acquisition of lands, not only next adjacent to us, but indispensably necessary to our peace and development. There were wise men near our Presi dent In 1803, who differed with him touch ing the Nation's power to acquire new territory under the original provisions of the Constitution; and these men did not fall to make known their dissent. More over. In the Senate, to which the treaty was submitted for confirmation, there was an able discussion of Its constitu tional validity and effectiveness. The Judgment of that body on this phase of the subject was emphatically declared, when out of 31 votes 24 were cast In favor of confirmation. An amendment to the Constitution was afterward pre sented to Congress, but Its first apppar ance was its last. It does not appear thajt the President Interested himself In Its fate, and It died at the moment of its Introduction. While In this day and jrene'ratlon we may wonder at the doubts which so per plexed Jefferson In 1S03, and at his esti mate of the limitations of our fundamen tal law. and may be startled when we Teflect that If they -had been allowed to control his action we might have lost the greatest National opportunity which has been presented to our people since the adoption of the Constitution, we cannot fall at the same time to be profoundly grateful that these doubts and this esti mate were those of a man sincere enough and patriotic enough to listen to -wise and able counselors and to give his coun try the benefit of his admission of the fallibility of his Judgment Favored Broad Contraction. Thomas Jefferson never furnished better evidence of his greatness, than when just before the submission of the treaty to the Senate he wrote to a distinguished Sen ator who differed with him on this ques tion: "I confess that I think It Important in the present case to set an example against broad construction, by appealing for new power to the people. If. how ever, our friends shall think differently, certainly I shall acquiesce with satisfac tionconfiding that the good sense of our country will correct the evil of construc tion when It shall produce ill effects." A recent writer on American diplomacy who Is not suspected of partlalitv for Jeffersonlan political doctrine, gave In strong and graceful terms a good reason for our gratitude today, when In referring to this subject he wrote: "It was fortu nate for the future of America that we had at the head of affairs a man of such broad views of our country's future. A less able President with the same views entertained by Jefferson as to the consti tutionality of the measure would have put aside the opportunity. Jefferson put aside his preconceived views as to the funda mental law, or subordinated them to the will of the nation, and welcomed the op portunity to open up the continent to the expansion of American democracy and. free Institutions." We are glad at this hour that Jefferson was wrong In his adverse construction of the Constitution, and glad that he was liberal-minded enough to see that he might be wrong. And yet may we not profitably pause here long enough to contrast In our thoughts the careful and reverent manner In which the restrictions of our fundamen tal law were scrutinized a hundred years ago, with the tendency often seen in later times to flippantly attempt the adjustment of our Constitution to the purposes of In terest and convenience?" In conclusion I hope I may be permitted to suggest that our thoughts and sur roundings on this occasion should lead us to humble recognition of the Providence of God in ajl that has made us a great na tion. From our beginning as a people our course has been marked by occurrences and Incidents so striking, so significant, and so constant, that only superstitious dullness or Intellectual blindness will place them to the credit of luck or chance. In the midst of our rejoicing todav it is peculiarly fitting that we recall with so berness and meekness some of the happen ings In connection with the great event we celebrate which Impressively illustrate the Interposition of Divine Providence In our behalf. We sought from a nation ruled by one whose ambition was boundless and whose scheme for airirrandlzement knew neither the obligations of public morality nor the restraints of good faltb the free navlgatlpn of the Mississippi River and j outji luaiguuuxuit territory as wouia mase ! such navigation useful. While our efforts toward the accomplishment of this slight result languished and were fast assuming a hopeless condition, the autocrat of France suddenly commanded one of his ministers to enter Into negotiations with our waiting, dispirited representatives and exclaimed: "I renounce Louisiana. It Is not only New Orleans I cede. It is the whole colony without reserve." Napoleon's Sadden Revolution. It was only nineteen days thereafter that the treaty transferring uMus the mag nificent domain comprises within the Louisiana purchase was concluded. This astonishing change In our prospects, which dissipated the fears and apprehen sions of our Government and revived the promise of our perpetuity and happy des tiny, came at the very moment that Bona parte wad organizing a force to occupy the Louisiana territory in the prosecution .tc .l1 occupation and development, wnich if consummated, would probably have- closed the door even to the slight ac quisition which we originally sought The French colony of Santo Domingo was. however, a prime factor in this scheme of occupation, and it was essential to its suc cess that this colony and Louisiana should botn be Included and should supplement each other. A serious revolt then raging . w0015!10 Playing proceedings, tho occupation of Louisiana was postponed un til this revolt should be overcome. The troops sent from France to accomplish this apparently easy task were so stub bornly resisted by hundreds of thousands of freed blacks. lighting against their re enslavement and they suffered so terribly lrom climatic conditions and deadly fever that after the sacrifice of 23,000 soldiers,' many of whom were intended for the sub sequent occupation of Louisiana. Bona parte s plan for the occupation of both colonies miscarried. This disappointment and1 the conception of new schemes of war and conquest by the restless dictator of Brance, and his need of money to carry less schemes: were controlling cir cumstances in leading him to throw in our lap the entire Louisiana territory. None of these e or these circumstances were wimm Drocurement or knowledge: but who shall say that God was not accomplishing his designs In our behalf amid the turmoil and distressing scenes of Santo Domingo's revolt? And now can It be said that there was no Providence In the unexpected, un vieldlng and successful fight for continued freedom o ntho part of the negroes of San to Domingo, or in the fatarpestilence that vie"d with bloody warfare in the destruc tion of the army of subjugation- or In the fever of war and aggression which heated the blood of Bonaparte, all combining to en. nd secufed t0 our Nation extension and development beyond the dreams of our latners. Thus we may well recall in these sur roundings the wonderful measure of proph ecy's fumllment within the span of a short century, the spirit, the patriotism, and the civic virtue of Americans who lived a hundred years ago, and God's overruling of the wrath of man and his devious ways for the blessing of our nation.

BISHOP POTTER'S BEXEDICTTO. He Prays for Divine BlessiBgf ok the Great Knterprlse. Mr. Cleveland's speech was followed by the singing of "America." Bishop Hen drlx, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, then offered prayer, and the ceremonies closed with the benediction, delivered by the Bight Rev.

Thousands of people occupied an im mense grandstand near the Administra tion building during the evening to wit ness the display of fireworks. The dis play was delayed until the appearance of the President, when a great battery of 13-inch aerial moons were exploded in a salute which was almost deafening. From this beginning for nearly two hours the air was a sclntlllant screen of flashing color. The night was made brill iant with vari-colored lights framed in appropriate devices. The spectacle closed with the printing In letters of fire of the words "Farewell Until 1S04." The Chi nese Ambassador was an especially pleased spectator. President Roosevelt remained for some time before leaving for his private car. PROGRA3I3IE FOR TODAV. Addresses ly Representatives of France and Germany, ST. LOUIS. Mo.. April 30.

The great military parade, which was designed to be distinc tively the show spectacle of the dedicatory ceremonies, proved to be all that Its pro moters could wish, and all that the regu lar Army officers who controlled It could hope for. The sight of the marching thousands from the point occupied by President Roosevelt's . reviewing stand was one long to be remembered. For a half-mile to the left and for an equal dis tance to the right the winding column was in complete view. The President watched the march past with eager at tention. Every well-set rank (and near ly all were so), every accurate formation (and very few were not accurate), elicited his hearty commendation. From end to end of the line of march the cheers of the immense crowd were as cordial as President Roosevelt's approval. The parade. In all features, was a most beautiful and Imposing inaugural of the ceremonies. Although Adjutant-General Corbln was the grand marshal and all things done received his sanction, the active work of organizing the columns and managing the parade was done by Brigadier-General John A. Johnston. U S. A. and Lieutenant-Colonel E. A. Good- win. Ninth. United States Cavalry, General corbln s chief of staff. There were 11,000 men In line 3100 regu lars and 7909 of the National Guard. New York being represented by 1000 officers and men; Illinois. 1000; Iowa, 960; Missouri, 3000; Oklahoma. 2200; Ohio, 1000. The for mation throughout was in column of pla toons, of all arms, at half distance, the Infantry marching 16 file, and the cav alry 12 troopers front Question of Precedence. The regular Army division was ordered by General Corbln to be In position on the main drive of Forest Park at S:15 A. M. It was there to the minute. While the regulars and National Guard were wheeling into line with the precision born of long acquaintance with the tactics, over at Grand and Bell avenues the 64 aids of the grand marshal were forming, with careful attention to questions of chronol ogy and geograpMy. It was the intention that the aids should be arranged In each platoon from right to left and from the head to the rear of the column. In the order In which their states ratified the Constitution, were admitted Into the Union or were organized as territories. Among the 64 aids there were 15 Gen erals, 30 Colonels, eight Lieutenant-Colonels, six Majors, two Captains, two First Lieutenants and one Second j Lieutenant and In all that array of martial possi bilities there were not five who had any claim to stand above the foot of the chronology class. No sooner did the formation commence than trouble, started. The Generals from new Western states yielded in 'precedence to Lieutenants from older commonwealths, sorely against their will. One ancient commander who drew a military bltfnk in the shape of a left hand place in a rear rank where President Roosevelt sever could see him. ventured a protest, saying he would "like to ride with those fellow up there," waving his hand toward a rank of military Inferiors and chronological superiors. "When did you come into the -Union?" asked the Lleutenart "I was born in it" was the emphatic rejoinder. Tho Lieutenant consulted his authorities and announced: "You are In your proper place now. General." "I may be in my place, but I'm not whera I belong," declared the General with a wrathful eye on his military in feriors who were preceding him In the line. Prompt to the 3flnHte. Ten-thirty was the hour set for the start of the parade. Promptly to the min ute General Corbln gave the word. 100 aerial bombs flew Into the clouds and their explosion was the signal that set the col umn in motion. At the head of the parade rode a detachment of the local police, under Chief of Police Matthew Klely, and behind them 12S carriages, con taining the distinguished guests. In the first carriage were President Roosevelt ex-President Cleveland and President Francis, of the World's Fair. Behind them came the members of the Cabinet the diplomats and other visitors who have attained celebrity. The line of march was west on Llndel boulevard from its intersection with Grand avenue, along tho main drive of Forest Park to the entrance to the expo sition grounds, where the column halted and stood at rest while the President and distinguished guests alighted from their carriages and took their places upon the reviewing stand. As soon as all had taken their places the wafting soldiers came to attention and the march began. Line of March. First came the famous Marine Band of Washington. The orders of Marshal Cor bln had prohibited any other musical or ganization from playing "Hail to the Chief" during the parade. This was the time and place for the old air, and the band went by pouring out the strains in fullest volume. General Corbln, superbly mounted, then rode by, followed by his personal staff of 12 aids, all of them officers of the United States Army, with the exception of Lieutenant-Colonel H. J. Foster, Royal Engi neers. British Army. Then came eight ranks of eight aids, representing every state and territory in the Union, arranged in chronological order In which their re spective commonwealths became Integral parts of the Nation. Major-General John C. Bates headed the first division of the United States Army, and close behind rode his personal staff of three young officers Captain William Wright of brilliant record In Cuba and the Philippines; Captain Horace M. Reeve, who has done gallant service abroad, and Lieutenant "Van Leer Wells, who has served with distinction In many a hard fight in Luzon. Then there was the division staff, com prising Major E. J. McClernand, who was General Shatter's Adjutant-General at San Juan; Lieutenant-Colonel A. L. Smith, Captain W. C. R. Colquohoun and Cap tain Francis A. Winter. Brigadier-General William A. Kobbe, who needs but a spiked helmet and a longer frame to form a picture of "Von Moltke, rode at the head of the first brigade of the first division. The troops under his command were the First Battalion Engineers, which, under Major S. S- Leach, who commanded them today, made a brilliant Tecord in the Army maneuvers last Fall; the Third Infantry, Colonel John H. Page, and the Twentieth Infantry, Colonel W. S. McCaskey. The second brigade's division was under Brigadier-General Frederick D. Grant and comprised the Sixth Infantry. Colonel Charles W. Miner, commanding; the Twenty-Second' Infantry, Major John J. Crittenden, commanding, and a detach ment of seamen from the Monitor Arkan sas under Commander Charles E. Vree-' land." United States Navy. The Jackies, who marched remarkably well, received continuous applause from end to end of tho march. Soldiers everybody had seen before, but this was the first parade of salt water sailors as far Inland as St Louis, and the novelty awakened much enthusiasm. Following a detachment of mounted engineers, which was close upon the sailors, came a regiment of cavalry under Major Frank A. Edwards, com prising two squadrons of the Eighth Cav alry and one of the Fourth. The battalion of field artillery, under Major Henry M. Andrews, which next rumbled by, consist ed of the Sixth, Seventh, Sixteenth and Twenty-eighth Batteries. National Guard and Governors. Following the regulars came the second division of the parade formed by the Na tional Guard Regiments. The division was commanded by Major-General Charles F. Roe. of New York. Following the Gen eral and the 13 members of his personal staff and the division staff came Colonel Adrian Chamberlain, of Connecticut and staff, and Governor B. B. Odell, of New York, and his staff. The fighting men of the National Guard were led by a pro visional regiment of three battalions from New York, under Colonel S. M. Welch, a division of New York Naval Militia and a squadron of cavalry. Just ahead of the second brigade, com manded by Colonel S. B. Stanbury. of Ohio, rode Governor George K. Nash, of the Buckeye State, and his staff. Leading Colonel Stanbury's command was a pro visional regiment of Ohio State troops under command of Colonel Stanbury. The First Ohio Infantry and the Columbus Rifles followed. Governor W. W. Heard, of Louisiana, and his staff, came next; then Governor W. T. Durbln, of Indiana, and staff, and Governor Richard Yates, of Illinois, and staff. The third brigade was commanded by Colonel J. Mack Tanner and comprised the Fourth Illinois Infantry, the. Fourth Divi sion of Illinois Naval Militia, and a com pany of the First Cavalry, commanded by Captain O. D. Strlpp. Governor Alexander Dockery, of Mis souri, and his staff preceded the Fourth Brigade of the National Guard, which was composed of Missouri troops under Brigadier-General H. C. Clark. Arkansas sent a battalion, and then came Iowa, headed by Governor Cummins, with a glittering score of claterlng horsemen as his aids. The fifth brigade was made up of the Fifty-fourth Iowa Infantry under Colonel H. H. Coghlan. Governor W. J. Bailey, of Kansas, and his staff, followed Iowa. Colorado was represented by Governor James H. Peabody and staff; Utah by Governor Heber M. Wells and staff, and last of all came a battalion of infantry from Oklahoma. As soon as the parade had passed, Pres ident Roosevelt re-entered his carriage and was driven rapidly to a tent .erected near the Liberal Arts building, where he took lunch and remained until It was time for him to attend the dedication ceremo nies proper.

Caused Unprofitable Year on Coast for Boston To-nrboat Company. President Alfred WInsor, of the Boston Towboat Company, In his annual report to the stockholders said: "Several branches of the business the past fiscal year have been profitable. The steamships on the Pacific Coast have not been eo, the great depression in rates of ocean freights all over the world having been felt by our ships. During the year we have started to run them In a regular line between Puget Sound aad the Orient, in connection with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railway Companies. . . . While the first voyages were ex pensive and annoying, we are glad to say the experience gained has enabled us to get officers and ships in good working order. We have added to the plant by rebuilding our large tug Underwriter, for wrecking purposed, at a cost of about $44.- 000; by completing a new grain lighter at a cost of $9000, and by outlay for wreck ing materia and extraordinary expenses, the total being about $74,000. We have spent during the year for ordinary repairs upon our plant $107,225 (charged to oper ating expenses), and the same Is now In excellent order. Your property Is covered by $1,500,000 Insurance."

The steamer South Portland arrived up last night and tied up at the foot of Oak: street to' discharge San Francisco cargo. She sailed from the Bay City Siturday. and on Sunday afternoon she was forced to run into Drake's Bay for shelter from a severe northwest gale. While there her anchor dragged and became foul of the Government Farallones cable, which It was found necessary to cut .to clear the anchor In order to release the steamer from a perilous position, as there was but 15 feet of water under the stern when It was done, and otherwise the vessel would have gone on the rocks. The windlass was broken at the time or It might not have been necessary to cut the cable. Captain Hornsman. of the South Port land, states that he did not know that the cible was there, and there was no notice on the shore to indicate its posi tion, as is customary at the landing places, of cables.
