QUEEN GROW Elks Pay Homage Maybelle I to STREET FAIR IS OPENED Brilliant Ceremonv Inaugu rates Carnival. CROWDS THRONG THE GROUNDS With Regal Pomp the Coronation Festivities Are Bosun City la In Gala Atrire Qneen to Review Opening Parade Today. Today at 1 o'clock the opening parais will leave Eighth and Washington streets. The line of march will be: "Washington, east to First; First, south to Morrison: Morrison, west to Fifth; Fifth, south to Main; Main, east to Third; Third, north to Burnslde; Burn side, west to Sixth; Sixth, south to the reviewing stand In front of the Port land Hotel.

And with the setting of the crown upon her brow the two weeks' festival was Inaugurated. From this time forth revelry, feasting alL good. Jiving. wilL 2e .the ..order,. Ahd; tinder per Deneficent sway the last Of" the Elks' Carnivals will paes" into, his tory as- the inoat "brilliant and.,the ' raost festive ot all that have been, celebrated in this city. At her headquarters the Queen received visitors all afternoon, and the interest of the day centered in her coronation. As tho Tilght drew on the maids of honor gathered and tho often rehearsed cere monial was perfected to its last detail. When tho gates opened at 7 o'clock the crush was very great, and on every hand there was a hum of anticipation. Tho attractions of the booths and of the Mid way could not hold them, and long bo fore tho hour set for the ovent the place in which the throne was erected was Jammed. Brilliantly lighted and resplend ent in purple and gold rose the dais on which was the throne soon to be occupied by Maybelle I. Massed as close as. the lines drawn by the police would permit, the people waited and wondered. In the throns could be seen all the well-known Elks of the city, waiting to do homage to their young Queen. Governor-elect Chamberlain was there, waiting to re ceive his sovereign, and Grand Marshal C. E. McDonell, the veteran soldier, was ready to put his sword at the command of Queen Maybelle. Grouped with these was a brilliant assemblage of Elks high in tho order, also 'waiting to do the bid ding of her majesty. Finally the trumpeters sounded an alarm, and the gates wero opened. The four trumpeters advanced to the steps of tho throne and took their places. There was a fanfare and tho four maids of honor. Mistresses Quackenbosh, Ward, Thompson and Stephenson, were driven in. When they had been escorted to their places amid applause, there was a hush. The carriage of the Queen was ad vaaclng, preceded by four princes. There was another fanfare from the trumpeters, a shout from the heralds and the Queen mounted tho steps of the throne. Behind her walked the little pages carrying the glittering train. The band struck up "God Save the Queen," and whoa tho strains died away Archbishop William Davis took his position in front of the throne. Tho Queen descended and knelt to receive the crown, which was held by a page. The Archbishop took the crown into his hands, and, repeating the coro nation formula, set it upon the young Queen's brow. As the newly crowned sovereign rose the band burst Into the "Queen Maybelle Coronation March," and the Carnival was formally inaugu rated. For over an hour her majesty sat In state receiving the homago of her sub jects. From this day till the lights go out for tho last time Queen Maybelle I rules tho Elks' CarnlvaL The Carnival has attracted thousands of visitors. All over the city the buildings are decorated, and the purple of the Elks floats and hangs from every point of vant age. While today Is the formal parade, there was a carnival spirit In the air yes terday, and the multitudes that had poured Into the city from every town on tho Coast thronged the streets and dis played the Elks' emblem everywhere. Be fore noon the hotels were full, nnd the late comers began to scatter out In search of rocms. These were greatly aided by the accommodation committees of the Carnival, and cemplalnt was lost In good natured anticipation of a festive time. Many came down from the Seattle Carni val, and not a few of those who had at tended the Grand Lodge In Salt Lake' City arc here, devoting themselves In true Carnival spirit to a good time. Parties went to the heights to view the city, to Mount Tabor, and fo every suburb whence some beauty of Portland might be seen and enjoyed. Gradually the streams of men, women and children emptied into Washington street, and that thoroughfare was- almost congested all the afternoon. The sea wind blew freshly, and the sun shone clear from the sky, adding greatly to the pleasure of the revelers. During the afternoon an Immense body of" smoke rolled up from the north, but the brisk wind soon dispelled this, and timid ones who feared rain took heart and abandoned thought of umbrellas. The citizens gave the keys of the city over to the sight seers. While the stores were closed on account of the celebration of Labor day, everybody was in town, and on every side willing men directed the strangers and took them to every place that could yield them pleasure. Even the epicures" seemed loth to leave the brilliant streets when meal time came, and when hunger prevailed the dining-rooms were babels of laughter and noise. OPENING OF THE CAnXIVAt. Crowds Ponr Through, the Gates and. View the Displays. The gates of the eW Carnival were thrown open at 2:10 yesterday afternoon. The band played the opening march and the waiting crowd poured through into the main street. From the time the gates were opened until the grounds were closed for the afternoon 1100 people bought ad mission tickets at the windows. The dis plays in the booths were as yet incom-. plew, but men were Dusy puning on final touches, and seemed to enjoy having the vleltors encourage them with sago remarka After a general view of the dis plays and a flve-mlnute halt under the bandstand, most pleasure-seekers wended their way through tho entrance to the Midway. Here, too, things were not en tirely finished, and Jabour was pensively wondering why It was Labor day when ho could get no workmen. But within a short time after the people began to enter several of the best shows were in opera tion, and all was serene. The Carnival grounds include Seventh street from Washington to Burnslde, and the park blocks from Ankeny to Flanders. The Seventh-street part ends in a square around the music stand.. On this square are the Old Country Store and Postofflce and the Manufacturers' building. On the west side of Seventh, as It crosses An keny, Is the gate to the Midway. From this on down the park Is given up to Jabour and his various shows. Under tho trees -wild animals graze contentedly among the trappings of the 175 performers that amuse the visitors at the stages scat tered about the grounds. There is also a square of the cages containing Hons, tigers and other fierce captives. Within this space a crowd gathered continually and the animals In their native sulklness were almost as much of an attraction as the sprightly ladles who did tight-rope and trapeze acts farther on, Hereafter the gates will open at 1 and i 7 o'clock jeach day and close at 5 and 11 j o'clock. Twenty guards with badge caps represeni uie managers ana neip tne nine policemen under Sergeant Church to maintain order. It is stated that all tho detectives on "the city force will be on duty at different periods of the day to watch -out for- the -safety of the TJstrone These will bo. assisted ly two private, de tectlves wfto report to the manager of j the Carcivsj Owing to tho fact that no j rc&ular ebgftri has.besn" dttnllftd MCarn- which have been liberally distributed among the booths. INCIDENTS ON THE GROUNDS. Many Sights From Different Points of View. In the evening the grounds were packed with people and all of them viewed the many signts from different points of view. The first thing that attracted the visitor was the amount of confetti that filled the air. Many of the slght-seers did not know what this meant and it was interesting to watch them as they were Initiated Into tho practice. Some would only emlle and pass on as a bold young fellow would throw a handful of the little papers in their faces, while there were others who were Inclined to resent such familiarity. "Oh, you nasty thine," said one large girl as oho brushed the papers from her hair and eyes and then she turned to her companion: "If I were a boy, and any one would be so rudo to a lady I was with I would de mand an apology." but the offender was (Continued on Page 6.)

She reporta that a terrible eruption of Mount Pelee occurred at D o'clock Saturday, and people who arrived at Fort de France from the northern part of the Island reported' that the village of Mourne Rouge, near the district previously de vastated, had been entirely destroyed, and that LcCarbet, a village on the coast which was destroyed at the time of tne great eruption, had been swept by a tidal wave. About 200 persons lost their lives. A sloop from the Island of St. Vincent, which reached here this morning, reporta that Mount Pelee's crater is now quiet, but the detonations Saturday night were the loudest heard up to that time, end the inhabitants were terribly alarmed. Mount Pelee has been in constant eruption since August 15. There was an enormous fall of ashes from the volcano the night-of the 25th. There was a very se vere eruption the night of the 2Sth, when the volcanic rumblings were heard at a ! ereat distance.

At 8 o'clock In the evening of "Satur day, the 20tb, the sky was ' cloudless. Suddenly and without warning, one-half of the horizon was obscured by a plt,ch black cloud of dust. This cloud was a magnificent electrical effect, the flashes of light surpassing the most elaborate fireworks. Flames and flashes continued to burst from the cloud until nearly mid night. Columns of flames shot out of the crater of Mount Pelee to explode about the cloud in showers of balls of golden fire which fell through the darkness In myriads of sparks. A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de France and the' terrified in habitants fled in large numbers to the interior. The wave was not severe and did but slight damage. At midnight of the 30th Inst. Mount Pelee was ulet; shortly after this hoyr there came another shower of ashes, ac companied by vivid sheet lightning.

WHY WE PUT OUR FAITH IN n Foreigners Will Respect It Only St Long; as We Have an Efllclent Nnvy to Back It Up. Of the Monroe doctrine. President Roosevelt said In his speech at Proctor: "It Is a doctrine or peace, a doctrine of defense, a doctrine to secure the chance on this continent for the states here to develop peaceably alone their own lines. Now we have formulated that doctrine. It our formulation con sists simply of statements on the stump or on paper, they are not worth the breath that utters them or the paper on which they are written. Remember, that the Monroe doctrine will be re spected as long as we have a flrst-class efficient Navy, and not very much longer." EAST NORTHFIELD. Mass., Sept. 1. Presldent Hooscvelt today concluded his tour through Vermont at Brattleboro. and is spending the night here at'Jforthfleld. The reception accorded him at Brattle boro was among the most enthusiastic he has received In his tour of New England. Upon arriving at the station, he was met by a company of Infantry, headed by a band, and escorted to the Common, where he delivered a brief address, in which he spoke of Abraham Lincoln as the man oi tho hour in the great Civil "War. He feelingly referred to the venerable ex-Governor Holbrook; -who was on the plat form, and who accompanied the President a short distance through the state, as bey hg one of the few men who had received the distinction of being a war Governor. ThePresident's progress through Brat tleb'ofo'was a continuous ovation. On the line of march his .carriage was stopped in front of the leading hotel, and from the balcony men, women and children show ered flowers upon him. At the Common, where he delivered his address, the pavil ion steps were strewn with flowers by lit tle girls, who were drawn up on both sides upon his arrival. Labor day was generally csjebrated throughout the state, and wherever the train stopped holiday crowds were out to extend the President a welcome. The heat was excessive, but the President seemed to suffer but little froirt Its effects. His remarks on the subject of labor were confined mostly to a tribute to the people of Vermont, and he expressed his pleas ure at being greeted by the representa tives of organized labor, because, he said, the typical American Is the man who works. The President began the day's journey at Burlington, reaching that city from Shelburne, the home of Dr. YV". Seward "Webb. After a drive about the city, the Presidential train started southward, stops being made at Vergennes. Middle bury. Brandon, Proctor. Rutland, Ludlow, Bellows Falls. Chester and Brattleboro. and his Vermont trip ended. He crossed Into Massachusetts in the early evening, and went to Nortfleld to remain tonight, as the guest of William R. Moody, son of the noted evangelist. The President will go to Round Top in the morning to visit Mr. Moody's grave. The President spoke at every stop today, but most of his addresses were brief. That of the greatest Importance was the one delivered at Proctor, the home of Senator Proctor, wherein he defined his. idea oi the Monroe Doctrine. The most unlqus speech of the day was that delivered to night in the Auditorium here. RESUMES HIS TOUR. The President's Speech at Proc tor, Vt. RUTLAND. Vt.. Sept. 1. President Roosovelt, after a stay of 36 hours on th ahores of Lake Champ'.aln as the guest oi Secretary L. M. Shaw and of Dr. W. Se ward Webb, resumed his tour of New England today. He reached Burlington from Shelburac during- the forenoon, and was given an hour's drive through the city. The drive extended to Green Mount cemetery, where the President viewed the grave of Ethan Allen and to Battery Park. Crowzls chf.ered the President wherever he went, and at tne station there was a large gathering to witness his departure. Sec letary of the Treasury Shaw joined the President at the station. Stors "were ma!e at Middleburg. Bran don and Vergennes. at each of which places the President spoke briefly. A half-hour's stop was made at Procfor, the home of Senator Proctor. The President delivered an. address from the 3teps of the Senator's porch, and in the course of it made some significant utterances on the rubje:t of the Monroe Doctrine. Senatot Proctor Introduced the President, saying: "Neighbory .and Friends: For the third time a President of the United States hon ors us with-his presence, and he will speak from this platform. I do not expect ta have the honor and the pleasure of intro ducing another President, but I do ex pect to have the pleasure of introducing this one three or four years hence, when he Is serving his second term." (Loud applause.) After thanking the people for their greeting, the President said: "We believe '.n the Monroe Doctrine not as a means of aggression at all. It does not mean that we are aggressive toward any power. Jt means merely that, as the biggest power on this continent, we remain steadfastly true to the principle first for mulated under the Presidency of Monroe, through John Qplncy Adams the prin ciple that this continent must not be treated ao such for political colonization by any European power.
