GRAND DISPLAY BY CIVIC BODIES Veterans Lead the Way, Merchant Fellow, Civic Organizations Next Governor Dockcry'a Welcome Governor' Odell Respond.- - t - - t ST. LOUIS,May 2. The lost -jact of the dedication exercises of the Louisiana Pur chase Eacposltion was the'sending up of a huge rocket, which broke directly over the towers of the Administration building, scattering Its manifold golden stars direct ly above the archway. The sight was ac cepted by the multitude as an omen of the glory to come to the lair liereaf ter, and the cheers rolled out again an&'jagain be fore the -crowd dispersed. - In many respects the last day;of the exercises was the best of them all. The weather was perfect. In addition, the various committees are now 'thoroughly accustomed to their work, and practically everything is running -smoothly and on time. There were some delays in the civic parade, but that was to- be expected. A large number of .oifi.cers-from the regular Army were detailed by General Corbln to assist in Its formation and management, and the effect of their work was plainly manifest. The parade of today as a pageant was not expected to. rival the great military spectacle of Thursday, but in Its own sphere it was a feature that It "would be difficult to equal. In the Liberal Arts building the- exer cises., this afternoon took on at times a somewhat informal character. The prin cipal speakers were 'Governor Dockery, of Missouri, and Governor Odell, of New York. Bx-!PresIdent Cleveland departed for "home this morning at 9 o'clock. Lleuten-ant-General Miles left at 11:35 for Chicago, where he will spend some time before going- to "Washington. Tho diplomatic Corps arranged this morning to start on the return trip to Washington at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, and Its special train was ready at that time. In St. Louis Saturday Is observed as a seml-hollday by the majority of the busi ness houses, and the multitudes of em ployes, mingled with the throngs from the 'residential sections of the city, were swelled by the masses of visitors, few oi wnom naa lert the city, ana this vast assemblage, stretching on both sides of Llndell boulevard, formed an avenue through which the caralcade advanted. led by .a squadron of mounted police. Car riages containing tho visiting Governors ana accompanied by their staffs; aggre gating 1S8 mounted men, swept ahead of ine procession and stopped at the review ing stand, where the Governors took their Beats to await the passage of the narade. The vehicles of the Governors were fol lowed by a line of 45 carriages containing the worlds Fair Commissioners from states and foreign countries. These dis tinguished guests also alighted at the re viewing Btand. At tho head of the civic parade rode Colonel Eugene Spencer, grand marshal; chief of Staff Colonel Edwin Baldorf, Adjutant-General H. T. Mott, and a com pany of 23 aides. The United States Ma rine Band preceded the veterans' division, under the leadership of General John TV. "Noble, marshal.

Two carriages of Naval "Veterans, a company of "Naval Reserves, commanded by Ensign Gray; 130 United States Veter ans, and 350 United States service men. Six German verelns, gay with bright colors, carrying hundreds of waving ban ners, and with uniforms the colors of which included every shade that could lend beauty to the spectable, closed tho second division. Ahead of the next detachment, which was formed by the officials of the St. Louis municipal departments, came 36 mounted police. Three hundred officers in close ranks followed, and then in car riages the Mayor and. other leading offi cials of the municipality. Eight extrava gantly decorated floats, each one repre senting a different department of the city administration, received great applause as they rolled past tho reviewing stand. The fourth division was made up by the various mercantile associations of St. Louis, and hundreds of her most promi nent and Influential business men marched in the ranks. Every one of the commer cial exchanges was strongly represented, 600 men being In line. Six gorgeous tally hos, containing members of the Stock Exchange, were a distinctive feature. The fifth division was made up of 1700 men and 00 cadets from the various edu cational institutions of St. Louis. Then came rank after rank in seemingly end less procession, In all their gorgeous and various uniforms; the fraternal societies. Division of Fraternal Bodies. The sixth division was made up of the Masonic organizations. The seventh included the Maccabees, Knights of Pythias, members of the Loyal Legion, the 'Traveling Men's Pro tective Association, and the "Woodmen of tho "World, whose uniform drill team from Fort Scott, Kan., constantly performed intricate evolutions as they marched steadily forward. The eighth division was formed by the Catholic Society of America, 40 branches, and 35Q men participating. Various uniformed Catholic societies, numbering SOO men, formed the ninth di vision. The athletic forms of the German Turners were seen in the tenth division. Fifteen hundred sinewy athletes marched shoulder to shoulder in a manner that would have, done credit to any military organization: , Next, ,ln tha 11th division, , came COO men In the gray of Uncle SamTs postal, serv ice. The carriers being given the right of the line, showed to great advantage and received much commendation for their appearance and manner of marching. The 12th division was made up of 400 representatives of the "Western Amateur Bowing Association., In line with them were six lavishly decorated, floats that re ceived great applause : as they passed along. Cowboys on, Bronchos. The next division was perhaps the most unique of any In the parade. It was formed by the men from Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The 'Frisco System Cow boy Band, clad in characteristic costumes, led the division, and behind them came CO cowboys, 40 Indians and 400 additional representatives of tho two territories. As they rode along the cowboys and Indians gave exhibitions of daring horsemanship which rivaled anything seen in any cir cus. The delight of the spectators was extreme, and the passage of the division was a continuous ovation. Sixteen hundred colored men came marching in solid ranks, composing tho 14th division, and they were given an en thusiastic reception. The men who have made the fair as it stands, a glorious promise of what it Is to lie, came marching next. All depart ments were represented, from President Francis and "Director of "Works Taylor, who came first In a Victoria, to the han dlers of shovels and pushers of wheel barrows who filled the ranks in the rear.

The construction forces of the exposi tion formed the 16th division. One hun dred contractors, filling 25 carriages, cams riding at the head; then on foot, over 3000 contractors' employes. The last division was the general officers of the local Build ing Trades Council in" carriages and a float oh which a fair young woman dressed to represent the United States, tossed handsful of good-luck coins to the crowds along the side. Sit was a -wise thought that placed her in the rear of the parade, for the rush by the -crowd to obtain the coins, that were designed for advertise ments, was so great that at times there was actual danger to tho eager scramblers who sought the souvenirs. "Among ihe "distinguished gUests Sn the reviewing stands were Governors Dock ery, of Missouri; Peabody, of Colorado; Odell, of New York; Van Sant, of Mlnne sota; Mickey, of Nebraska, and Heard, of Louisiana; Senator Hanna.

Goyernor Ferguson made a brief address in laying the cornerstone of Oklahoma's building, a granite block Inscribed, "The next star on the flag." As soon as possible after the last of the parade had passed the reviewing stand the crowd entered the Liberal Arts build ing, where the formal exercises of the day were held. The assembly was called to order by William H. Thompson, chair man of the committee on grounds and buildings. He Introduced Rev. William R. Harper, of Chicago, who delivered a short Invocation, and then brought for ward William A. Lindsay, who acted as president of the day. Mr. Lindsay spoke very briefly and then introduced Governor A. M. Dockery. of Missouri, who extended the following ad dress of welcome to the Governors of tho states: Governor Dockery's Welcome. "The pleasing duty devolves upon me of extending a cordial greeting In be half of the people of Missouri to you, as the chief magistrates and representatives of sister states who come with kindly messages and substantial evidence of the Nation's interest in this stupendous un dertaking. The work already completed and yet to be done could only be accom plished by a people known and respected as the incarnation of intelligent, en nobling enterprise. "The occasion which brings us together is tho precursor of the most marvelous exhibition the world has ever seen. The wealth, the ingenuity and the ability of all nations will contribute to this mag nificent result. Everywhere during this pageant of entertainment have we seen evidence of the progress of this enter-' prise, so mlgnty In Its conception as to be astounding. Sites have been .assigned to each state and foreign country, and the result already accomplished is spread out before you In brilliant panorama. There is no longer any question about anything but the magnitude of tho suc cessful undertaking. This has been matched only by the intelligent co-operation of all the people, and to you. as the representatives of sister states, I ex tend most grateful .acknowledgment. "Tho selection of our metropolitan city as the proper placo In which to hold this exposition seems peculiarly fitting. Its very name breathes the spirit of its French ancestry, to whom we are so greatly indebted, and its geographical sit uation is pre-eminently satisfactory. It Is located at about the meridian point In the length of the father of waters, tho upper half of this mighty stream bearing its burden of freight and passengers to the city's gates, seemingly in proud ac knowledgment of its greatness; while the lower half of this commanding waterway sweeps onward to the sea, carrying upon Its bosom the products of the great val ley of the Mississippi. Happy Coincidence. "To guard our shores, to make impreg nable our Southern Uorder against as sault and to enlarge the scope of our commerce and of liberty, was the . con trollng thought of Thomas Jefferson and his compatriots when the purchase ter ritory was added to the American Union. Fifteen millions of dollars represented the purchase price, and, by a happy co incidence, which may not have been al together accidental, 515.000,000 represented the basic sum by which this exposition first became possible $5,000,000 contrib uted by the City of St. Louis, $5,000,000 raised by popular subscription and $5,000, 000 given by the National Government. Missouri has since appropriated $1,000,000, that her resources may be fittingly ex ploited, while your states have in turn liberally set apart amounts which will lend the' magnificence of their products to the scene. "Today closes the celebrations incident to the dedicatory exercises of the expo sition, and in the hour of greeting wo are Te minded that soon we must port for a time. Tho panoply of war in the exhi bition of our regular and citizen soldiery has Joined with the pomp and pageantry of civil life. Civilian and soldier have given the weight of their influence to make more impressive the scenes attend ant on this display, and will be equally enthusiastic when the gates of the great exposition are formally opened. Months will pass before that event, but In the meantime an army of tho employed jvlli perfect the fecheme which in its full frui tion will- herald abroad the triumph of this 'wonderful exposition." At the conclusion of Governor Dockery's address. Governor Odell. of New York, responded in the following terms: Governor Odell Responds. "Capital and labor are the great ele ments upon which the prosperity and -hap piness of our people rest, and when, therefore, aggregations of one are met by combinations of the other it should be the aim of all to prevent the clashing of these great Interests. "There is always a mean between those who seek only a fair recompense and re turn for that which they produce, and those who seek undue advantages for the few at the expense of the many. The laws which have been enacted, if properly executed, are sufficient in their force and effect to encourage the one and to punish the other, hut in our condemnation let us not forget that with the expansion that has come to our country, an expansion of our business relations is also necessary. If we are to hold our own among the world's producers we should encourage and not hinder those who by their ener gy. their capital and their labor have banded together for tho purpose of meet ing these new conditions problems which our individual efforts alone cannot solve. but which require the concentrated force and genius of both capital and labor. Sue cess will always follow perseverance and cenlus. "Tho question of adjusting and har monizing the relations of capital and labor Is the problem before us today, and is one which will become more urgent in the ru tore. Its solution must he along those lines of constitutional right which every citizen has been guaranteed. Every man is entitled in the prosecution of his work to the broadest possible liberty of action and the protection of law, of that law which is the outgrowth of necessity and which seeks to encourage and not to sup press. Such recognition can always be secured if there is responsibility of gov ernment to have it "The greatest solvent for political here sies, for doctrines which are "antagonistic to popular government is education. To I the educated mind thera comes a concep tion of duty which is hot possible to the .ignorant." Tho exercises were closed by the benediction,- pronounced by Rabbi Harrison.

They relate entirely to the Wash ington City Postoffice, and were fully In vestigated at that time, as I recall It, by the Controller of the Treasury De partment. All 'the vouchers for the Wash ington Postoffice, and I think he disallowed -accounts for one quarter, aggregated only $952. The whole question was con cerning from which appropriation tho money should have been taken to meet the expenses. "The only question, to the best of my recollection, that arose during my tenure of office was regarding the manner of making certain appointments. It was during the Spanish War. The attorney was away, and in order to forward mall to troops it was necessary to detail clerks from other offices. These were carried on tho Washington payrolls. The situ ation was an emergency; one that had to bo met- "If my recollection is right, the Con troller of the Treasury asked me to ex plain these. It was done, and when the emergency situation was made plain the matter was adjusted satisfactorily. Sub sequently the matter was discussed In Cabinet with President McKlnley, and my course was approved." Inquiry Lonfr Drctrn Out. WASHINGTON, May 2. Postmaster General Payne said today that it would require at least a month to bring the In vestigation oMhe affairs of the Postoffice Department to a close.
