President Roosevelt made two addresses In Topeka tonight one at the laying of the corner-stone for the new Railroad Y. 21. C A. building and the other at the Auditorium before the International Convention of the Y. M. C. A. Both addresses -were heard by Im mense crowds of people, and were re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. After laying the corner-stone- for the Y. -if. C A. -building-the President-wci con ducted to the residence of Governor Bai ley, where lie was entertained at dinner. His last address was given at 9:20 o'clock. The crowd was very large, but so excel lent were the police regulations that there was little or no confusion. The work of putting up decorations began early today. Flags wero displayed In great numbers on tho store fronts. The entrances to buildings were draped In red, white and blue bunting. Many private residences put out flags and other decorations in honor of the visit. The Harvard colors could be seen In many places along with the red, white and blue. Every precaution was taken to prevent delay or accident to tho President's party In Topeka. H. U. Mudge, general man ager of the Santa Fe, ordered that no trains around the depot be moved while the exercises at the laying of the corner, stono were In progress. Boom of Cannon Welcomes Him. President .Roosevelt's train arrived In Topeka an hour late. Over 12,000 people assembled at the site of the new Y. M. C A. building to welcome him. The delay only served to add to the crowd. At 6:50 the booming of cannon announced the ar rival of the President's train north of tho river. Soon after the train was switched from the Union Pacific to the Santa Fe tracks and run down to the new building. Escorted by a local cavalry company and a squad of mounted police. the President was conducted to a platform. He made a short address and then laid tho corner-stone. General Manager Mudge, of the Santa Fe, presided at the exercises. He presented the President with a silver trowel, which had been contributed by the roaH, and with this the President placed the mortar in position. The opening prayer was made by Rev. H. H. Gregg, of St. Louis. .. In his opening address President Roose velt expressed his pleasure at being In "the geographical center of the United States." He congratulatedhe delegates to the Y. M. C. A. convention that they had come to Kansas for their great meet ing, and said he hoped their meeting would be the most profitable ever held. The President characterized the Railroad Y. M. C. A. as one of the potent agencies for good in the country, in that It tended to make better men of the railroad employes, on whom so much depended. Dinner With the Governor. The ceremonies occupied twenty mln utes. Then the President and his party were escorted to their carriages and driven rapidly to the Copeland Hotel. Fourteen carriages -were in the procession. Com pany A, of the Kansas National Guard, acted as guard. A number of the party stopped at the Copeland, where they were entertained at dinner by the Y. M. C. A. The President was taken to the residence of Governor Bailey, where he was enter tained at dinner. As the party passed the Statehouse a large number of old soldiers who were drawn up on the east entrance of the building saluted the President. The President saluted the party with dig- nity. This was arranged by Department Commander Loomis. Those present at the Governor's dinner were as follows: The President; Ellhu Root, Secretary of "War; Assistant Secre tary Barnes, Surgeon-General Rlxey, Dr. Butler; Judge W. Shook, of the Federal Court Chief Justice K. Johnson, of the Kansas Supreme Bench; Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Republican State Cen tral Committee; D. "W. Mulvane, Repub lican -National Committeeman; Senator J. R. Burton, Senator Chester I. Long; X. H: Loomis, of the Union Pacific; M. A. Low, of the Rock Island; H. J. Bone, secretary to the Governor; William Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette; E. W. Howe, of the Atchison Globe. Among those present at the dinner at the hotel were: Dr. John P. Munn, treasurer of the Vandalla; H. G. Burt, president of the Union Padlflc; B. F. Yoakum, president of the 'Frisco; W. A. Wyckersham, president of the Atlanta & West Point; L. J. Peck, president of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe; T. J. Nich olas, New York; H. A. Parker, St. Louis; Colonel John J. McCook, New York. Address to Y. M. C. A. After dinner at the Governor's residence the party proceeded to the Auditorium, where the President delivered an address to the Y. M. C. A. convention. The large building was Jammed with people, but there were thousands who were not privi leged to enter. The President did not arrive at the Au ditorium until 10 o'clock, having been de tained at the dinner given by Governor Bailey. During the early part of the evening speeches were made by prominent railroad officials who are delegates to the convention. The President spoke for about 45 minutes, and afterward held a short reception. At 11 o'clock the entire party was driven back to the depot, where the night will be spent on the President's train. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning the trip will be resumed throigh Western Kansas by way of the Union Pacific. Sun day will be spent at Sharon Springs, near tho Colorado line. The President devoted most of his speech to the good work accomplished by the Y. M. C. A., and said that such organiza tions as the one ho was addressing devel oped the two necessary qualities of work and brotherly love. Work Essential to All. "Nothing can be done with a man who will not work," he said. "We have in our scheme of government no room for tho man who does not wish to pay his way through life by what he does. A rich man is bound to work, in some way that will make the community better for his existence. Capacity for work is absolute ly necessary, and no man can be said to live In the true sense of tho word if he does not work. If a man Is utterly dlsre gardful of the rights of others, If be works simply for the sake of ministering to his own base passions, if he works simply to gratify himself, small I3 his good in the community. He is of no real use unless, together with the quality which enables him to work, he has the quality' which enables him to love his fellows, to work with them for the common good of all.' During the trip to the Governor's resi dence this evening a man named Murphy attempted to get onto the President's carriage. Ho was knocked off by a mount ed policeman. He then Jumped onto one of the steps, with the remark, "I guess I'll ride "here." One of the secret-service men In the carriage, by a well-aimed blow, sent him rolling in tho gutter. He was afterward arrested. The fellow was un armed and did not contemplate any as sault on the President, but tried to enter the carriage out of a mere snlrlt'!b'f . brava- uo. "TUe Incident "greatly amused"1 e President. ' " ' One" of the -President's guards here to night was Patrolman Mcintosh, who was a member of Mr. Roosevelt's command at Santiago. Mcintosh was recognized by the President. GREAT DAY AT KANSAS CITY". Prcbldcnt Drives Through Avenue of School Children. KANSAS CITY, May L President Roosevelt spent five hours In Kansas City, Mo., today, and later was the guest of Kansas City, Kan., Just across the state line, for two hours, leaving for the West at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In the two cities the President 'was driven over a route 15 miles long, reviewed nearly 30,000 school children, made two speeches, one at Convention Hall, before the greatest crowd that noted structure has ever held. ond partook of a luncheon at tho Balti more Hotel as the guest of the Commer cial Club, of Kansas City, Mo. In the party here was Elihu Root, Secretary of War, who had Joined the party at St. Louis at the express wish of the Presi dent. The reception given President Roose velt was Intensely enthusiastic, and it is estimated that 100.W0 persons, several thousand coming to town from surround Ing places, greeted him. The schools were closed, business generally was suspended, the Mayor having proclaimed It a holiday, and many, residences and business houses were decorated. Never before had there been such a general desire on the part of citizens to show their esteem for a distinguished visitor. The Presidential party arrived In the city from St. Louis at 9:10 in the morn ing, and were met by a reception commit tee at Fifteenth street and Askew avenue, in the southeastern portion of the city, two miles from the business center.

It wa3 late when the assembly was called to order by Corwin H. Spencer, chairman ot tho exposition committee on ceremonies. After the Invocation by Rev. Carl Swenson, of St. Louis. Mr. Spen der Introduced as president of the day Hon. John M. Thurston, who said: "We are hero to welcome the Ambassadors, Mlnistera and represent atives of friendly foreign nations. We are gathered to commemorate an event which changed the history of America, an event of more importance than most any other event of history. This event gave to us a continental habitation. "Today, after 100 years, we come to cel ebrate a great event In a magnificent ex position. It Is not an exposition of city or state, nor of the United States. It Is an exposition of the world. Gentlemen, our visitors and friends In this temple of peace, dedicated to the progress of men, your presence is significant to us of the friendliness of the nations. May we not hope that In the splendor of the twentieth X. J. JHsserand, French Ashas-sador. century there may be an exemplification of the words of the, .master. 'Peace on Earth, good will toward men.' ". . PARLIAMENT OF MEN. Francis Thus Describes Gathering; ot All Nations. Mr. Spencer then Introduced President Francis, of the exposition, wha spoke as follows, in extending the greeting of the exposition to tho representatives of for eign countries: "The universal Exposition of 1904 ex tends a cordial greeting to the distin guished representatives of foreign coun tries who favor us by their presence on this memorable occasion. An assembling of envoys of organized government, how fever limited in their number and whatever Its object may be. Is characteristic of a high civilization; but when that convening is made general In Its character as this, it indicates marked progress in the estab lishment of a better understanding be tween interests and policies long antago nistic and at variance. And when the ob ject of such a meeting Is, as in this case, to establish and cement friendly relations between peoples who differ In form of gov ernment, in religion and In race. It means a distinct step toward the organization of a parliament of men, an accomplishment worthy of the highest endeavor because Its consummation would result In a uni versal peace. "When the civilized nations of the earth meet In friendly rivalry their better ac quaintance engenders Increased respect. The closer commercial relation that fol lows are conducive to mutual benefits. They efface prejudices, they broaden sym pathies, they deepen and widen the founda tions of human progress. The civiliza tions of" past ages would have experienced no overthrows if they had been based on the intelligence of the masses and had been Imbued with that broader humanity which distinguishes and ennobles the fra ternal spirit of the 20th century. Twentieth Century Will Excel. "The cycle of 100 years whose close we have Just passed, Incomparable as it was In the discovery and the Invention and the application of forces and methods la the physical world, and remarkable as It was for advancement in every line of thought and research, will be surpassed and distanced by ,the new century upon which we have entered If the material potentialities and the Intellectual facul ties of mankind can be utilized and trained toward a common end and that end the uplifting ot the human race and the pro motion of Its happiness. "Concomitant with Industrial progress Is social development. The policy of en gaging In foreign wars in order to prevent or to pacify domestic unrest may have been wise, If not humane, but the time for such a policy has passed. That gov ernment is strongest whose subjects are intelligent and contented. Contentment follows the employment of intellectual fac ulties in the development of natural re sources and in the production of those ac tivities that result in greater comforts of living and higher planes of thought. The bringing together in a universal exposi tion of the best that all civilized countries have produced opens to all who participate in new lines of thought better methods and. better appliances, and therefore con duces to the material benefits, as well as to. the culture of every country partlci-1 patlng.

Enconraged by All Nations. "The International exposition whose ded ication you honor by your presence was conceived In an effort to cpmmemorate a great achievement which has proved a po tent factor In Increasing our wealth and sustaining our institutions and perpetuat ing our independence. The Interest mani fested by the governments and the people whom you represent In pledges of partici pation has been encouraging and helpful, in tno nighest degree, and we are glad of this opportunity to express our deep gratitude.- Your coming enables us to show you the character and the scope ot the undertaking we have launched. Our plans are ambitious and our hopes high, but we are energetic and untiring, and with your recognition and assistance we expect to carry to a successful consumma tion an enterprise which will not only as semble the natural resources of the earth. and bring together the best products ot human skill, but will be the occasion for eliciting the expression of the best thought and for .classifying and systematizing all human knowledge. We hope this expos! tlon will be an epitome of the progress of the world from the beginning ot history. The 19th century was characterized by unprecedented and almost incomprehensi ble industrial advancement. The earth. was made to reveal Its hidden treasures. The unknown forces of nature were har nessed and utilized. Lines of commerce were established which encircle tho earth. Sections of the globe remote and almost unknown to each other were brought Into close communication and frkndly rela tions. ;It would seem that there is little left to be done In the field of scientific effort. But every discovery and every advance opens a broader plane for the ex erclse of human ingenuity. The problems. however, that seem to confront us" most prominently today and that require for their solution not only experience and in telllgence, but fraternal sentiment as well, are those ot a social character.
