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

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

however, a prime factor in this scheme of
occupation, and it was essential to its suc

occupation of Louisiana was postponed un

troops sent from France to accomplish
this apparently easy task were so stub

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

freedom o ntho part of the negroes of San

tion of the army of subjugation- or In the
fever of war and aggression which heated
the blood of Bonaparte, all combining to

Thus we may well recall in these sur
roundings the wonderful measure of proph

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

FIREWORKS AT NIGHT.
For Nearly Two Hours the Sky Glovrs
With Fire.
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.

GREAT MILITARY PARADE.
Eleven Thousand Soldiers and Sail
ors Pass In Review.
ST. LOUIS, 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.

DEPRESSIOX IX FREIGHTS.
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."
Search Is Abandoned.
Lloyds Shipping Index of April 16 con
tains the following dispatch from Liver

"The Liverpool tug- Cruzler. which has
been looking for the French ship Com

returned after an unsuccessful search. It
is understood the Cruzler went as far

Abandoned the Line.
The venture , of the Luckenbachs, of
New York, In the around-the-world trade
evidently proved unsuccessful, as the
steamers of the line have been withdrawn,
and no more will leave New York for

CUT FARALLOXES CABLE.
Steamer Seath Portland Fouled It
"With Her Anchor.
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.
