ST. LOUIS,' April S(h The buildings of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition were
today formally, dedicated to their purpose
with all possible pomp and ceremony. In
every way save one the exercises were an
unequivocal success and this one circum
stance was the weather. It would be diffi
cult to imagine a more disagreeable day.
The wind blew fiercely from the west.
sending great clouds of dust whirling Into
the faces of the troops as they marched
past the President, and at times so nearly
blinding the President that it was well
nigh Impossible for him to see across the
street upon which the troops were march
ing. Added to the discomfort of the -wind and
dust was a temperature which sought for
the marrow and generally reached It.
The ladles who, on the strength of the
warm weather of yesterday, came In
Summer dresses to the reviewing stand,
suffered keenly, and but for the thought
fulness of the officers commanding the
guard thrown around the reviewing stand,
who provided them with blankets, many
of them would have been compelled to
leave the place. Both President Roosevelt
and ex-President Cleveland remained In
the reviewing stand exposed to the icy
wind until the end of the parade, al
though their faces were blue and their
limbs stiffened by the cold. Conditions
In the Liberal Arts building, where the
dedication ceremonies proper were held,
were little better. There was no wind,
but there "were manifold drafts which,
added to the dampness inseparable from
newly-erected buildings, produced a pen
etrating chill that was uncomfortable to
a degree. The effect of this was evident In
all of the speeches, as the speakers, com
mencing their speeches In clear tones,
were without exception given over to ca
tarrhal inflections as they finished.
Ceremonies Well Managed.
Despite this. heavy handicap, however,
the ceremonies proper were splendidly
handled and the programme was carried
out to the letter. The police work was
excellent and the patrolling of avenues
and passageways by the First Missouri
Infantry "was ably done and all possible
consideration shown to the great crowd,
.Csralkal Glbtaeas,
which numbered in round figures about
145,000.
The parade which took place In the
morning was somewhat longer In passage
before the President than had been ex
pected, but for all that "he was about 13
minutes behind the scheduled time -when
be was escorted by the committee to the
Liberal Arts building. In order to arrive
even as early as that he was compelled
to take his noonday meal under' some
what uncomfortable circumstances.
Had to "Rustle for Grab."
During the lunch, which be took, at
the conclusion of the parade ho was
shoved belter skelter by half the people
who had been in the grand stand. The
food was placed on a rectangular counter
and the President, like everybody else,
"helped himself." The crowd outside the
tent was dense when the President, with
the secret service men, and Adjutant-
General Corbln acting as "lnterferer,"
forced his way to the counter. Ho was so
closely pressed, that when he attempted
to move his arm, his elbow disturbed a
cup of coffee held by General corbln.
"With some difficulty the officers forced
the crowd to allow the distinguished guest
elbow room, but they would allow him
nothing more. This maneuver forced the
Adjutant-General out of range of the
sandwiches, but the President devoted
one hand to passing food to his escort
while the other was devoted' to his own
advantage.
Owing to his advantageous position, the
President soon felt called upon to help
other friends, and he was kept busy pass
ing plates, a service which he performed
with alacrity and cheerfulness. The man
ner of the President lunching wis suffi
ciently unconventional to excite curiosity,
and probably 75 per cent of the people
who congested the tent were present
merely to witness the Chfcf Executive of
the Nation eating at the democratic level
of a clerk in a quick-lunch restaurant.
Diplomats Without Chairs.
Some of the diplomatists and more of
the distinguished visitors mounted the
reviewing stand to find that there were
no chairs for them. It developed that the
chairs had been cheerfully appropriated
by unofficial guests who had arrived early
oh the scene. With some difficulty other
choirs were secured, but they were little
used, as the visitors found they could
keep off the chill more effectively by
standing.
The Important ceremonies in the Liberal
Arts building were handled with all pos
sible dispatch. From first to last the
events on the programme succeeded each
other rapidly. Of all the speakers, Pres.
idont Roosevelt alone was able to make
bis voice carry further than 0 feet from
the stage. By far the larger part of the
assembly could hear nothing. Thousands
of people In the rear part of the hall were
constantly moving about and producing a
mufiled roar that would have baffled a
foghorn.
v1 .rA'ppJjjseliyiycl5
When the Prcsucnt rcse to speak; he.
was cheered to the echo. He bowed again
and again, suggesting by his manner that
quiet be restored. Finally he mounted the
broad railing in front of the rostrum,
where he could be seen from every part
of the hall, and again motioned for
silence. There was everything but silence,
and President Francis suggested that ho
proceed with his speech and quiet would
follow. President Roosevelt laughed and
shook his head. Taking advantage of a
lull, he called:
"Now you, my fellow-citizens, give me
all the chance you can, for I seed It."
The chance was given and the Presi
dent began his address, which was inter
rupted by frequent cheering.
After leaving the hall, the President was
entertained at dinner in the Hall of Con
gress. From the dlnlng-hall President
Roosevelt and his party were escorted to
President Francis private office, from the
windows of which he reviewed the pyro
technic display.
No Cabinet Meeting.
President Roosevelt denied that a Cab
inet meeting will be held In Kansas. City,
as has been rumored. When the postoffice
Investigation was mentioned, he declined
to discuss the matter further than to say
that the investigation would be rigid and
thorough.
After spending almost an hour In view
ing the fireworks, the Presidential party
proceeded to make Its exit from the city
and resume the journey westward, with
Kansas City as the first stopping point.
In order to avoid a crowd at the train, ar
rangements were made to have the Presi
dent's train in waiting on the Missouri
Pacific tracks1 at Howard's Station, over
a mile southwest from the fair grounds.
After a few moments spent ' in taking
leave of the World's Fair officials and
other distinguished participants In the
ceremonies of the day. President Roose
velt, closely surrounded by Secret Service
men, was escorted from the Administra
tion building to his carriage.- He was ac
companied by Secretary of War Root,
who will travel as far as Topeka, Kan.,
with him. President Butler, 'of Columbia
College, also will accompany him for some
distance.

FRANK, Alberta, April 30. (Special.)
The minds of the people of Frank, what
remains of them, are blank In conse
quence of the awful disaster of yesterday
morning when a great portion of Turtle
Mountain-slid across the -valley of Crow's
Nest Pass, bringing death to 63, for the
total has now grown to that number, of
the residents of the community, and do
ing damage so great that it cannot yet
all be fold.
Throughout yesterday and at intervals
during; the night and today, the slide
continued with the result that Frank has
.enUepopulaied. Many presidents wnt
to Blairmoor, avillageTtwdfalres distant;
where they "obtained shelter.-whlle many
more left the country altogether, gqlng
to distant points. Few of these are ex
pected to return. Those who remained
were principally persons in business, who
could ill afford to desert their Interests,
or were possessed of that spirit which
prompts men to remain where life Is in
danger for the sake of their fellowmen
or to do the work which must be done
In the interest of relatives of those who
have "been sacrificed. But two real
dences in the town were occupied last
night, and they by people not their own
ers, but who were of the stuff which does
not desert so long as a duty remains
to be done. Hotels out of the range of
danger were filled, but all others had fled.
Today the scene has been one of deso
lation, hard to be realized except by com
parison to the recent volcanic eruptions
in the West Indies, though on a much
smaller scale. Those who had not taken
the precaution to preserve their epidermis
by placing distance between themselves
and harm continued the search for the
victims of the disaster, but with poor re
sults. But two more bodies have thus
far been recovered. One was that of F.
Farrington, a miner. The other was
mangled beyond recognition. This makes
the total number of bodies recovered
nine. One more body was today Identi
fied as that of Francois Rocljette, a lab
orer in the employ of the coal company.
But one of the bodies recovered remains
unidentified. The' dismembered portion
of one body baa been found, but the
rest of the body could not be found.
More Dead Are Foand.
The death list was changed by Infor
mation proving that Abe Dixon, a miner
who lived at the home of William War
rington, which was destroyed with every
occupant, was not among the lost, and
that two half-breed brothers named
Johiison, who were staying over night
with the family of Alex. . Graham, were
buried. John Gustafson, Ed Cruso, Dave
Johnson, Jacob Tomml and Jacob Sorri,
who cannot be accounted for, are like
wise reckoned- among- the persons dead.
One person reported yesterday as among
the killed has been found to be living.
He was John Leonard, an employe of
Poupero & McVeigh, railroad graders,

who was supposed to have been lost with
the-rest of those In camp, but who,-It
Is learned, left the camp before the slide
for Che prairies. This places the total
of those known and believed' to be dead
at 63.
Small, hopes are entertained for re
covery of the boy found" with, feathers
Imbedded In his intestines, and Mrs.
John Watklns, whose Injuries were of
the most frightful character.
Government Sends Agent.
A special train arrived at .the eastern
side of the slide this morning, bringing
William Pearce, who was sent here In re
sponse to an appeal from the local Board
of Trade to the Dominion, government for
assistance, to do what could be done to
prevent further destruction of life and
property, and render aid to those In dis
tress. The train also brought a large de
tachment of Northwest Mounted Police,
sent by Sir Wilfrid Laurler, Premier of
the Dominion government, and F. W. G.
Haultaln, Premier of the Territorial gov
ernment, to police the district, a measure
which had become urgently necessary, as
ghouls had already commenced depreda
tions. On the arrival of Mr. Pearce, the
Board of Trade, which has assumed con
trol of affairs In the absence of civic au
thorities, held a meeting, and steps were
j taken to begin -the work of raising the
uiucnaue oi me river, wnicn was nlled to
a depth of 150 feet in places 'and for a dis
tance qf a mile, to avoid a flood which
would have undoubtedly occurred.
Mountain Still Rumbles.
' The weather conditions of today have
been the occasion of much anxiety. Im
mediately following- the slide yesterday
morning, the temperature fell to zero, a
change of more than 40 degrees In 48
hours. The weather continued very cold 1
tnroughout the day, and this morninjr a I
heavy snow fell, completely shutting off j
ail view of the mountain. As the roar 1

OTiTrrJOTCTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wasn-

has approved the -recommendation of the
War' College Board that a number of new;
building be erected at "Vancouver .Bar

made atf the last session- ofc-CongrcsK. Xm
soon as: plana can he bmpleted, they will
be advertised and contracts let.
At Vancouver Barracks It "is proposed to. -erect
barracks for two companies of In
fantry, a guardhouse, an office building;
an extension of department headquarters,
gun shed3 and gun rooms and shops for
the field artillery. At the field artillery
post, Fort Flagler, It Is proposed to erect
quarters for the commanding .officer, bach- .
elor officer quarters, quarters for the non
commissioned staff and barracks for one
company and band. Officers' quarters will
also be erected at Fort Stevens, where the
storehouse Is to be enlarged, and at Fort
Columbia, Wash., quarters will be built
for the officers and for the noncommis
sioned staff.
The War Department does not make
public the amount of money to be expend
ed at Vancouver Barracks or the other
posts, but the officers of the War College
Board who have had the matter under
consideration say that this is to be one
of the large posts of the future. Van
couver and Fort Snelllng are considered,
the strategic points in view of any com
plication that might occur with Canada,
and they are to be strengthened with that
! eni ln vIeWi
These two points are those
selected in the general scheme that has
' been planned for posts of Infantry, cav-
! airy and field artillery, the three arms of
the service which would be called into ac
tion qulkly in case of need.
Vancouver is thought to be especially
well located with a view to quick trans
portation to any point necessary, and the
scheme of the War College Board, upon
which Secretary Root relies. Is to make
Vancouver the Important po3t of the Pa
cific Northwest.
