BRISTOL., Tenn., April 29. The iirst day
of the President's lone tour to the Pacific
Coast lay through a historic section in
ivirgima, across the valleys of the Rapl
dan and James, in sight of the homes of
Madison and Jefferson, up past the peaks
of Otter, so dear to the hert of the Vir
ginian, into the picturesque Blue Ridge
Mountains. The Tennessee line was
reached at 10:55 tonight with the arrival
of the train at Bristol. The Presidential
party received a flattering ovation from
the time the train left "Washington.
Large crowds assembled at every station,
the countryside and crossroads each had
Its little group of watchers straining their
eyes to catch a glimpse of the Chief Mag
istrate as the train whisked by.
If today's reception through Virginia is
any indication of what is to occur through
the rest of the trip, the President's tour
across the continent will be a trlumphaL
one. Some of the people in their eager
ness to grasp the President's hand clam
bered up the railing surrounding the plat
form. The President received these dem
onstrations good-naturedly, and never
failed smilingly to grasp the hand -extend-ed
to him. Mrs. McKinley, sitting at the
window in the observation car, smiling
and waving her handkerchief In response
to the greetings of the multitudes, cre
ated no less enthusiasm than the Presi
dent. Every precaution was taken by rail
road officials today to guard against the
possibility of a mishap of any character.
The track, switches and bridges were all
carefully Inspected just before the train
reached a given station; everything on the
road, passenger as well as freight, was
sidetracked and over the Norfolk &West
ern Railroad today a pilot train ran ahead
of the Presidential special. All the mem
bers of the party enjoyed the first day
of their trip, and the President expressed
his gratification over the reception he had
received.
Tomorrow the train will make brief
stops at Huntsvllle, Decatur and Tuscum-
brla, Ala., and Corinth, Miss. Memphis,
where the party will remain until mid
night, will be reached at 4:30 P. M.

Before 10 o'clock many people had con
gregated about the station, and when the
President and Mrs. McKinley arrived,
about 10:20, the building w'as thronged and
many persons were congregated on the
outside. There was a cheer as the Presi
dent's Immediate party drove up to the
station, and a great demonstration of af
fection and regard as the head of the Na
tion and his wife made their way through
the crowd to the train. Mrs. McKinley
leaned upon the arm of Dr. Rixey, and
both she and the President smiled in re
sponse to the greetings which met them
at every step. They were accompanied,
to the train by numerous friends and
many persons distinguished in the affairs
of the Nation. Mrs. McKinley found the
the drawing-room of the private coach
which she and the President are to occupy
beautifully decorated with roses and othei
flowers. Seating herself beside a window
facing the crowd, she continued to smile
and bow to acquaintances until the train
moved out. The President took his posi
tion on the rear platform of the Olympia,
beside Secretary Hitchcock, hat in hand.
Promptly at 10:30 the train started upon
Its 10,000-mile journey. The crowd cheered

speech of welcome, to "which the Presi

"I am very slad not pnjy to meet the
people of the City at .Lynchburg, but' to

but one of pure personal recollection,, that

come of all the people which typifies' the
respect and regard and good will which
exists between all sections of our com

made in 1898 at the arsenal in Han Yang,
aimed badly. The Germans demolished

At Charlottesville.

The Presidential train, with a tiny flag
on the pilot of the- engine denoting that
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation w.as
on board, arrived at Charlottesville on
schedule time. The run from Washington
was made without Incident. A brief stop
was made at Alexandria. A big crowd
had assembled at the station there and
the President and Mrs. McKinley ap
peared on the platform. Speeding
through Virginia to this town, famous as
the seat of the University of Virginia
and the home of Jefferson, people were
gathered at every town, village and cross
roads to see the train go by. At Manas
sas, Culpepper and Orange the crowds
were especially large. As the train ap
proached Charlottesville the party had a
glimpse of the old home of President
Madison at Montpeller. The pillars of
the old mansion were plainly discernible
through the trees.
At Charlottesville there was an Im
mense assemblage at the station. The
students from the university lined up
alongside the train and gave the Presi
dent three rousing cheers and a tiger
when he made his appearance.
From the platform of his car the Pres
ident spoke as follows:
"It gives me great pleasure to receive
the greeting of the people of Charlottes
ville and the cheers of the young men of
the University of Virginia. (Applause.)
Your institution is linked with great
names and great deeds and has influ
enced both. (Applause). What an array
of Immortal names. Virginia holds in. her
keeping to remind us of lofty patriotism,
broad statesmanship and noble achieve
ments; (Applause). To no other state of
the American Union belongs such history
to preserve, and cherish and such exam
ples to Inspire and emulate. (Great ap
plause). May the, young men of the
State of Virginia prove worthy sons of
their noble ancestors and. contribute in
the future, as they did in the past, to the
well-being and honor and glory of the F.e
publlc. (Great applause). Let me assure
you, young gentlemen, that the present
and the future hold rich rewards for good
scholars and the wish which I leave with
you Is that of these you may have your
full share." (Prolonged applause).
There were calls for Secretary Hay, but
his only response was to introduce Post

West Caused the Investigation.
WASHINGTON, April 29. Copies of Ma
nila, papers a month old have been re
ceived at the' War Department, containing
stories of the discoveries of irregularities
In the matter of commissary stores. It
appears from these accounts that Major
West, who was sent to Manila .to be
Depot Commissary, would not accept
charge of the depot until the stores either
were'shown upon Invoice or accounted for.
This led to an Investigation, and some of
the enlisted men and civilians employed
about the commissary storehouse were
arrested. The Manila police made the
rounds of the city, and found quite a large
amount of commissary supplies in differ
ent places. Much of ..this could be ac
counted, for by the sale of 'savings on ra
tions, but this saving, It appeared, could
not be disposed of to general buyers, for
an order in force In the Philippines di
rects the return to the department of
stores of savings, which will be paid for
at the rate of cost to the Government.
This would be a much less profit than
could be obtained by dealing with mer
chants and contractors. The papers re
ceived here simply enlarge upon the cable
reports.

could give no clew to the ship's Identity.
The masts of the craft were broken off
short, and she was generally demolished.
The only theory of the Identity of the
ship advanced, and that seems very im
probable, is that the wreck may possi
bly be the Andrada. which took a pilot
off the mouth of the Columbia last Decem
ber, .and has not been heard of since. It is
suggested that she, may "have drifted north
to the present location of the wreck. As
this Is several hundred miles north of
the spot where the Andrada ran aground,
the theory finds few believers.
