President Ropsevelt arose eay today, and. at 9 o'clock left the Palace Hotel, escorted "by a squad of cavalry. Tie streets, were lined -with 'people, whQ cheered' as the President's carriage passed on the -way to the Native Sons' Hall, -where a recep tion In. the President's honor was held. Mayor. Schmltx- and Secretary Loeb.wero. seated with the Chief Executive; .unusn Admiral Blckford. and staff came next. "with members of the executive committee following In carriages. At the Native Sons building was as sembled" a vast throng.', which, as- the President came In sight, manifested great enthusiasm. The hall itself was packed to, the doors with members of the Cali fornia Society of Pioneers, the Native Sons of the Golden West, the Native Daughters and the veterans of the Mex lean War. Ex-Mayor James D. Phelan delivered a brief address of welcome, and Introduced Henry B. Russ, president of the Society of California Pioneers, who made a brief but eloquent speech. Gen eral Stewart, president of the Society of Veterans of the Mexican "War, was next presented, and spoke a few words in be half of hla colleagues. H. R. McNoble, president of the Native Sons of the Golden West, made a few remarks, and Miss Eliza D. Keith addressed the President In behalf of the Native Daughters. Ex-Mayor Phelan then presented to the President a souvenir of the occasion, the work of a native sculptor, representing a bear hunt, reproduced In gold. In ac cepting tho gift. President Roosevelt re sponded In a happy manner to all of the addresses of welcome which had been made. His remarks were punctuated by laughter and applause, and at their close he was escorted to his carriage by a" Joint committee of the assembled orders. The Presidential party then proceeded to Van Nces avenue, where thousands of school children had assembled. The pu plls of many of the schools carried ban ners beautifully worked in silks and other fine fabrics. Others were headed by drummer boys. The Golden Gate Park Band, stationed at the corner of O'Far rell street, as tho President passed set up a lively tune and moved northward toward Broadway. The escort of colored cavalry fell In behindhand then came the President, riding In a carriage with Mayor Schmltz, M. H. De Young and Prli-ate Secretary Loeb. Members of the Board of Education and others followed. Every child had a flag, which was waved as the President passed. An Incident of the ride was the presentation to the Presi dent of a photograph by a little Chinese girl, who was lifted up so he could shake hands. After the review of children, the Presi dent drove through the Presidio and had a glance at the buildings, the various bar racks of the different troops and the new fortifications which face the entrance to the harbor and command the bay. He continued the drive along the new road. and finally reached the golf links, on which the military review was held. Gen eral MacArthur was in command. The men marched past with the tread of vet erans infantry, artillery and cavalry. Each arm of the service made a most Imposing spectacle, and, by their bear ing, showed that they were fit for any service demanded of them. The Presi dent complimented General MacArthur and other high officers on the excellent showing of the men and the splendid ap pearance of the garrison. The Presi dential party was then driven through Golden Gate Park to the Cliff House, where luncheon was taken with members of the executive committee. Governor Pardee, Admiral Blckford and other in vited guests. Returning, the party halted at the Baker-street entrance of the park, where a large crowd was In waiting to watch .the President turn the first shovelful of earth for the McKinley monument. Many representatives of- the Spanish-American War Veterans, the Grand Army of the .Republic and the pioneers were in at tendance, and they were referred to in eulogistic terms by the President In his remarks. Prom the park, the President was driven directly to the Palace Hotel, where he rested" antil" evening. In the evening, at Mechanics Pavilion. the great assembling hall of San Fran cisco, the' President made one of the most important speeches he bas delivered since he lef.t St. Louis. His subject, "Ex pansion and Trad& pevelopment, and Pro tection of the. Country's Newly Acquired Possessions in the Pacific," together with his advocacy of a greater navy, made his discourse of . .particular interest to Call- fomlans. and he aroused his audience to a, high pitch of enthusiasm. The doors pt the pavilion were thrown open to the public sit an early hour, and thousands of citizens thronged the building long be fore the time scheduled for the arrival of theFresldentlal .party. M. H, De Young, of the "citizens' re ception committee, opened the meeting, and Mayor chmIU .formally Introduced the President to. the. people of San Fran cisco. It was some minutes before. th cheering subsided and the" President was able to make himself . heard. STRONG WORDS FOR EXPANSION. President Points Out Its Benefit With ( Refefreace tHc People. '.SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. The Presi dent's address on '"Expansion and Trade Development, and. Protection of the Coun try's Newly-Acquired Possessions in the Pacific," delivered at the Mechanic's Pa vilion tonight, was as follows: "Before" I sarw the Paciflc Slope, I was an expansionist; and after having seen it I fall 'to' understand how any man, confi dent of his country's greatness, and glad that his country should challenge, -with proud confidence, our mighty future, can be anything, but an expansionist. In the century that Is opening, the commerco and the progress of the Paciflc will be fac tors', of Incalculable-, .moment in the his tory of the world. "Now, in our diy, the greatest of all the .oeeans, of all the seas, and the last to be used, on a largo scale by civilized man bids fair to become. In its turn, tho first in point of Importance. Our mighty Republic has stretched across the Pacific, and now in California, Oregon and Wash ington, in Alaska and Hawaii and the Philippines, holds an extent of coast line which makes it of necessity a power of the first class on the Pacific. Tho exten sion In the area of our domain Ms been immense;, the extension In the area of our Influence, even greater. . Future .Greatness Assured. "America's geographical position on the Paciflc is such as to Insure our peaceful domination of Its waters in the future. If only wo'graEp. with sufficient resolution the advantages of this position. We aro taking long strides in this direction, as witness the cables we are- laying down and the .great steamship lines we are starting steimship lines some of whose vessels, are "larger than any freight-carriers the" wqfld1 Jjas yet seen. We have, taken the first steps toward digging an 'Isthmian canal,, to be underour own con trol, a canal which will make our Atlantic and Pacific coast lines to all Intents and purposes continuous, and will add Im mensely alike to our commercial; military and naval strength. ' -Mart .Stay in Philippines. "The inevitable marcU" of events gave Us the. control of the Philippine Islands at a time so opportune that it may without Irreverence be called providential. Unless we show ourselves weak; unless we show ourselves degenerate sons of the sires from whose loins we sprang, we must go on with the work that we have begun. I earnestly hope that this work will always b& peaceful In character. We Infinitely desire peace, and the surest way to obtain it Is to show we are not afraid of war. We should deal In a spirit of fairness and Justice with all weaker nations, and we should show to the strongest that we are able to maintain our rights. Such show ing cannot be made by bluster, for blus ter merely Invites contempt. Let us speak courteously, deal fairly and keep ourselves armed and ready. If we do these things we can count on the peace that comes only to the Just man armed, to the Just man who neither fears nor Inflicts wrong. Greater Navy a Necessity. "We must keep on building and main taining a thoroughly efficient navy, with plt-nty of the best and most formidable ships, with an ample supply of officers and men, and with these officers and men trained in the most thorough way to the best possible performance of their duty. Only thus can we assure our position In the world at large, and in particular our position here on the Paciflc. It behooves all men of lofty soul, who are proud to belong to a mighty nation, to see to It that we fit ourselves to take and keep a great position In the world, for our proper place is with the expanding nations and the nations that dare to be great, and that we accept, with confidence, a place of leadership ln.lhe world. All our people should take this position, " but especially you of California, for much of our ex pansion must go through the Golden Gate, and the states of the Pacific Slope must inevitably be those which will be most benefited by and take the lead In the growth of influence along the coasts and Islands of that mighty ocean where East and West finally become one. "My countrymen, I believe In you with all my heart, ana I am proud that it has been granted me to be a citizen In a na tion of such glorious opportunities, and with tho wisdom, the hardihood and the courage to rise level to Its opportuni ties." HIGH PRAISE TO M'KINLEY. Ever a Trne American, the Spanish War Showed Him at His Best. SAN FRANCISCO. May 13. The cere monies at the dedication of the McKinley monument by President Roosevelt were opened by Chairman A. A. Watklns, who made reference to the visit of President McKinley to this city two years ago; paid tribute to his character, and said it was fitting that the one succeeding him should turn the first shovelful of earth preparatory to the laying of the corner stone of the enduring monument. Mr. Watklns then presented Mr. Roosevelt with a souvenir shovel made from the material of which the monument will be built President Roosevelt said it was appropriate that the first sod should be turned In the presence of the old com rades of President McKinley In the time of 1S61-63. Love of a Nation for McKinley. The- President then continued: "It Is not too much to say that no man elnce Lincoln was as widely and uni versally loved In this country as was President McKinley, for It was given to him not only to rise to the most exalted station, but to typify. In his character and conduct, those virtues which each American citizen worthy of the name likes to regard his typically American; to typify the virtues of cleanly and upright living, in all relations, private and public, as In the most intimate family relations, in the relations of business. In the rela tions with neighbors, and finally, in his conduct of the great affairs, of state. Arid- exactly as it was given to him to do (Concluded-on Second Page.)

Joa Gans, the colored lightweight champion of the world, last night, before 2300 people seated In the Exposition build ing, beat Tommy Tracey, the local welter weight. In tho ninth round. Only the towel that Martin Denny, Tracey's part ner and adviser, tossed Into the ring after one minute and a half of terrific fighting In this round, Baved Tracey from a knockout. The preliminary between Dick Memslc and Jimmy Rellly was an exceptionally fast battle. Both young fellows fought from the sound of the gong. Memslc showed himself to, be the stronger of the two. The little Chlcagoan received sev eral stiff wallops, but they never seemed to distress him, and he always came back after more. In the fifth round he cut Rellly's left eye with a terrific left ewng, and from that round to the end of the Journey he made the sore optic a point of attack. It was a Tracey crowd that paid Its way Into the building, but the clean-cut and decisive work of the colored cham pion soon demonstrated to then that Tracey was odds-on overmatched. The first two rounds brought out some of the cleverest and prettiest boxing ever wit nessed in an arena in Portland. Both men are masters of the art that goes to make clean and fast fighters, and for those two brief rounds it looked as it Tracey had even better than an even break with the champion. In the third round, however, Gans cut loose, and, with right and left to the Jaw, had Tracey In distress. Tommy was badly shaken up, but the al most superhuman gameness for which he Is so rioted showed again, and he came back and mixed It in clever style. Dur ing a lively exchange Tracey slipped to the canvas and took the count to seven. The great crowd present then began to realize that the local white man had met his master, and only the pluckiest kind of ngnting on his part and a lucky punch could bring him anythlns but the loser's end of the purse. Tracey Game, bnt Outclassed. As the fight progressed it became clearer and clearer that Tracey dfd not have a iook-ln. He fought gamely, and always brought the fighting to Gans. He was still the same fast and clever fighter, and while his foot work was little short of marvelous, his usual cleverness in block ing seemed to be lacking, while Gans on the other hand had little trouble after tho third round In blocking Tommy's body punches. Gans received three or four ter rific punches In the stomach that made him wince, and Tracey. seeing that the colored lad had no liking for this sort of punishment, went after his man like a cyclone. Tracey knew after the first mix up or two that his only hope of winning lay in malting it a whirlwind battle. This he did, and at close quarters he drove some hard punches Into Gans' middle structure, but the stiff Jolts and hooks which Gans sent to his Jaw weakened Tracey In surprising fashion. In the fourth round Tracey came back very strong, and twice he forced the col ored man to the ropes. Gans seemed to be resting, and was content to send In a couple of punches to the head and Jaw. In the sixth and seventh rounds Gans be gan to bore In. After about 50 seconds of the eighth round Tracey stopped a straight left Jab on the point of the Jaw, and it made him rock like a cradle. His mind cleared Instantly. and he was at Gans with a rush, landing lightly to the head and wind. In -a rally In the center of the ring a left hook to the Jaw sent Tracey back, and he slipped In trying to recover. The blow was hard enough to hive knocked a less game man out, but at the count of eight he got to his feet. Both fought into a couple of clinches, and Just as Gans had landed again to the head and Jaw, and Tracey wac in Queer street, the gong sounded. End Conies in Ninth. The one brief minute of rest was Insuf ficient to bring Tommy back, and when he faced Gans in the ninth round it was clear that ne naa lost ms steam ana mat- his legs had gone back on him. He tried hard to keep Gans away. The champion was not to be disputed, and after a couple of clinches and some lightning ex changes Gans worked Tommy Into a neutral corner and summed .his right to the Jaw, then followed It with an upper cut that almost knocked Tom's head from his shoulders. Tracey r coiled from the force of the blow and was about to fall when Gans half straightened him up with a left uppercut.- Tracey was defenseless and . against the ropes, and Gans was send ing right and left to the jaw. when Denny threw the towel Into the ring. When the towel fell to the canvas Ref eree Graney waved Gans to his corner, and Tracey's seconds helped the beaten man to his corner. He was bleeding slightly from the nose, and, although his j mind was clear, he was In great physical djstress. Gaps was smiling when he re turned to his corner, but when he saw the seconds working on Tracey he hur ried across the ring and grasped the white man by the hand and said: "I hope you're not badly hurt. Mr. Tracey." Tracey took the outstretched hand and replying said: "It's all right. Joe, y'ou beat me fair and rquare, and I have nothing to complain of." Graney Takes With the Crowd. Graney, with his customary Tuxedo, greatly pleased the crowd by his work. The men had agreed to break clean In the. clinches, and once or twice when the men sremed loath to break the crowd tnought It was his duty to break them. In speak ing of the nzht he said: "Tracey was clearly outmatched by Gans. He Is very fast and clever, but the champion was faster and could hit much harder. The men fought one of the cleanest fights I have ever refereed, and their behavior stamps them both ex tremely-fine fellows. On the whole I con sider the battle a very scientific one. I consider Gans a wonder, and the man who beats him will have a hard task cut out for him." Graney would not say whether ho thought Gans could beat Brltt. Gans Shorn No Distress. In his dressing-room after the fight Gan3 showed not the slightest signs of having Just come from the ring. He was not even breathing hard, and there was not a mark on his face or body anywhere. While dressing, he said that he was never in trouble during any part of the nine rounds and that with the exception of ji couple of punches In the body Tracey had not hit him hard enough to hurt him. "Tracey Is a game little fellow," he said, "and I confess I was a bit surprised at his cleverness. He Is very'shlfty, but his blows seemed to lack' steam. I was con fident that I was going to win, and I could have done so sooner, had I wanted to. Tracey Is very game, and he took consid erable punishment, but his age told against him. Just as I predicted that it would. You know I'm still a young man and have not been fighting as long as Tracey," "Joe is oi?e of the most confident fight ers In the ring today," said Al Herford, his manager, after the fight, "and he has never entered the ring yet that he -has not felt that he was going t6 win.- Joe never wastes anything, and It is his game to make every blow count. In his fight with Tracey he did not let himself out. He djd not have to, and of course, while he showed fast, he could have gone still faster had he been forced. Tracey Is a game and very fast man, and he showed himself to be a very gentlemanly fighter. The fight was clean and scientific all through." Crowd Gathers Early. Of the 2300 people who gathered at the Exposition building to see the great mill, fully 200 were on hand at the doors be fore 7 o'clock. Every car that passed the building brought Its quota, and by the time the gates were opened up, there was a surging mass of spectators gathered around the ticket sellers.' window. Tho early crowd was not of the sort that nut ud any great- amount of money on. a fight, and the bets were accordingly limited to -small sums. Four-bits here and u dollar there were to be" noted, with the odds always in -favor of the colored man. The Portland man was a prime favorite with those who had no money to put up, but the men who wanted to bet their gold, chose fighting ability against popularity. "Why, I've knowed Tommy for three years." said one old sport, without any teeth, "and If I had any money, it'd sure go on him. He Is the finest feller that ever walked on these streets, Tommy Is. and I'd sure back him." "Huh." announced another admirer.' "Tommy's me frlen too, but he don't get me money because the nigger Is goln to win. I'd like to see the Portland map. get the mill, but It's temptln fate to stack any chips on him." A third spoke, and his "rlcy Australian' accent heralded him as a native of the country Tommy came from. "There was never an nayger livin as (Concluded on Page 7.)

The revenue cutter McCulloch. It now appears, was not ordered north for the use of President Roosevelt. She is to be at the service of Secretary Moody, who desires to make an extended visit to the Bremerton navy-yard, while the. stop of the President will be short. Tacoma people are Jubilant over their victory In capturing the Presidential party, and are giving the finance com mittee to understand that no quarter must be shown Seattle now that she has been defeated. TACOMA. Wash.,. May 13. (Special.) Thomas Sammons, private secretary to Senator Foster, today notified the Tacoma reception committee that Secretary Loeb had agreed to abide by the programme announced for May 23. This means that the Tacoma committee has won, and that the President will be the guest of the committee on the steamer Spokane. Un less, the committee relents, Seattle will have but five representatives on that boat. The Tacoma committee sent Mr. Sammons to San Francisco last week, immediately after the threat by Repre sentative Humhprey to make trouble. Sammons' absence, it was believed, would not he noticed, while Foster could not go to San Francisco without a warning get ting to Seattle. Tacoma was unwilling to trust Representative Cushman. Prior to last night's heated conference between the Tacoma and Seattle commit tees, Mr. Sammons had assured the Ta coma committee that the original plan would probably be J followed. A telegram sent to Mr, Sammons after last night's meeting was probably responsible for to day's definite announcement. This dis patch gave details of Humphrey's threats to the Tacoma committee, and in partic ular the following declaration he made to Mayor Campbell and his associates: "If you will not concede this to us we will show President Roosevelt a spectacle that he has not seen since San Juan Hill." "What do you mean by that?" Mayor Campbell asked. "I'll charter a steamboat and bring over an excursion of S00 people. They'll take the President away from you," Humphrey declared. "I'm going to treble the police force on the day the President comes, and If any one comes from Seattle for such a purpose he will be pitched off the dock," the Mayor declared rather heatedly. All of this was set forth, and Sam mons apparently made the best possible use of his Information. In any event, his assurance to the Tacoma committee today was positive in Its terms. It ts declared tonight that the revenue cutter McCulloch was not sent north for the use of the President while on Puget Sound, but was Intended to be placed at the disposal of the Secretary of the Navy. He Is to make a rather extended stop at the navy-yard, while the President will only make a short stay. Whatever may have been the possibility yesterday it is insisted now that the President will not use the McCulloch on his trip from Tacoma. While the Tacoma reception committee feels Jubilant tonight, and insists that its programme will be followed, there Is Just a possibility Seattle will be accorded extra places. Last night, before the confer ence became heated, Seattle was asked If 20 would be sufficient for Seattle. This was acceptable, but before anything further was said along that line some one recalled that Humphrey bad stated 50 invitations had been . extended by the Seattle committee and nothing else would do. This reference Immediately created trouble. Today Tacoma subscribers to the Presi dential reception fund have been urging the local committee to remain firm, and many have declared if anything is yielded to Seattle they will withdraw their sub scriptions. All Tacoma and Seattle newspapers treat the outbreak between the commit tees editorially today. Each treats the question from a local standpoint. In Seattle today it was declared an appeal would be taken to the President, but nothing was made known as to the defi nite plans. General Funston has agreed to accom pany the party on the steamer excursion from Tacoma. New Stock Now Offered. NEW YORK, May 13.
