CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ta.. June 16.
The University of Virginia today enter
tained the President o the United States,
and riKht royally tie students of this his
toric seat of learning performed their
duty as hosts. The occasion of the Presi
dent's visit was to attend the 79th com
mencement of the university, which oc
curred today. Mr. Roosevelt Is the third
President to visit the university, of which
Thomas Jefferson, whose remains lie
quite close to the college he loved, was
the founder. President Hayes and Presi
dent Cleveland have enjoyed the hospi
tality of this truly Southern institution,
and the warm welcomes they received
were duplicated in the greeting extended
to President Roosevelt today.
The President's special arrived here
from Washington at 11:20 this morning.
The Montlcello Guards wero on duty at
the depot and kept back the crowd that
had assembled to see the distinguished
guest. Visitors have been pouring into
the city since yesterday, and hotel rooms
and teams were at a premium this morn
ing. The President was cheered as he
stepped from hia car. He was met by Dr.
Paul Barringer, chairman of the day's
exercises, and a committee of alumni.
The party was driven direct to the univer
sity, where the exercises were held in the
public hall. Here the students welcomed
the President.
The address before the Alumni Associa
tion, which was the first on the pro
gramme, had been prepared by Judge W.
Gordon Roberts, of Roanoke, and was
to have been delivered by him. He, how
ever, was detained at home by Illness,
and his address was read by R. Walton
Moore, of Fairfax. Judge Morris then
Introduced the President, who addressed
the students.
Praise to Leirls and Clnrlc
The reception accorded the president
was particularly demonstrative. The
President spoke of the work of the early
Virginians, and paid tribute to Lewis and
Clark, Taylor, TVinfleld Scott, Keyes and
other natives of the state who have
figured prominently In history.
"Virginia has a right to. be proud," he
said, "of the chief public men whom she
has sent Into public life." He said he had
called upon a number of Virginia men to
fill public offices, and they hid never
failed of good citizenship, as applied more
particularly to the college man and said
everj man should be honest to his alma
mater and work his hardest to make a
place for himself In the world.
At the conclusion of the President's ad
dress the various medals were delivered
and luncheon was served In the gymna
sium. Judge T. W. Duke, of Charlottes
ville, presided as toastmaster, and Intro
duced the President, who responded to
the toast, "The United States." After
lunch the party visited Montlcello, the
home of Jefferson, where they were en
tertained by JcJTerson M. Levy, of New
York, who owns the place. President and
Mrs. Roosevelt rode through on horse
back, and other members of the party
went In carriages.
The President left here at 7 o'clock for
Washington.
In the President's Party.
WASHINGTON, June 1G. President

Ccrmick, Assistant Secretary of State

senger agent of the Southern Railway.

and There Will Be No Strike.
SCRANTON. Pa.. June 16. There will be

out of the refusal of the operators to

Reading Company, had authorized the
statement that the action of the conven
tion was satisfactory.
The convention elected President Mitch
ell as the legal representative of the min
ers at the head of the conciliation board.
The operators are unanimously agreed on
the acceptance of the selected miners'
representatives.

Walters Strike Practically Ends.
CHICAGO, June 16. The indications ara
tonight that the hotel and restaurant
etrike begun last week will be settHd by

BRITISH AND AMERICA.
Visitors Whose Views Were Warped
Toy Prejudice.
New York Times.
The report of tho commission of Brit
ish workmen who were brought to this
country by Mr. Alfred Mosely last year
Is a curious and Instructive document.
So far as practical results of advantage
to British Industry are concerned, the ex
cursion seems to have been of little
value. The visitors were keenly ob
servant, but their Insular prejudice ap
pears to have bocn so strong that they
devoted most of their time to noting
things in which they consider the com
parison between England and the United
States unfavorable to this country, and
of what it was hoped they would see It
appears that they saw very little. This
Is not surprising.
For example, Delegate Cummlngs, who
gave especial attention to Iron and steel
shipbuilding and boiler-making, con
cludes his report with the following gen
eralizations as to the general character
istics and tendencies of the American
people:
"Gambling and pleasure-seeking appear
to be characteristics of the American's
life. These, taken In conjunction with
his ordinary restless spirit, seem to short
en life, make men prematurely old, and
Increase insanity. Climatic conditions
may be to some extent the cause of the
generally unhealthy look of the American
people, but the opinion generally ex
pressed, to enjoy life while It lasts, has
also some effect. There Is, however, less
regard for human life in America than
In our own country. Life altogether Is
held cheaper, and that may be Inherited
from' earlier times, when firearms were
used on the slightest provocation. Al
together I am of tho opinion that a halt
ing time will have to take place In the
States. The rush for enjoyment, the dis
regard of human life, the corruption of
local politics and other Immoralities, and
the almost Continental Sunday, added to
which is the disinclination to walk or
make any exertion after business hours
If It can be avoided, all tend toward the
moral and physical deterioration of the
people, and must be arrested If disaster
Is to be averted."
Another delegate, a blast furnaceman,
saw things quite differently. He says:
"We failed to find ocular evidence of
the American workman runnng at high
nressure. As we looked in vain for the
extraordinary 'hustling' of which we had
so often read, so we looked for evidence )
of men aging rapidly and being cast
aside. I questioned four men In different
shops whom I suspected of being ad
vanced In years, and In each Instance was
surprised to find that the man was older
than he looked."
Mr. Alfred Mosely, who brought the
party to this country, says In his Intro
ductory chapter:
"The American workman drinks but lit
tle. One of the points the delegates were
iiwitcd to Investigate was whether or not
the worklngman In the United States
wears out faster than the Englishman.
Personally, I think not."
One of the delegates, who did not find
much to Instruct him In this country,
sums up his observations as follows:
"The workmen who have built up
American Industries are largely British
ers. Most -of the inventions in American
workshops come from men -hailing from
the old country. Let us adopt modern
methods, and England will hold her own
In the commercial rivalry of the world."
Conclusions like this would seem to
show that the delegates were not here
long enough to derive much benefit from
their visit. It might have thrown a flood
of light upon the British Industrial sit
uation had they inquired why It Is that
the "Britishers" who have done so much
for American Industry found here a more
inviting and profitable field than they
left when they emigrated. Why has
Americanization developed vast useful
ness In mechanics who could not make a
satisfactory living at home? Perhaps this
Is the key to the whole problem. If so,
the Mosely delegation does not seem to
have discovered It.
LODGE ON SUPREME TASK.
Workmen Take Up the Question of
the Assessment Tnx.
ST. PAUL, June 16. The Supreme
Lodge. A. O. U. W.. todayt commenced
the most important discussion of the ses
sion, namely, the report of the benefit
committee. The committee has been at
work on the general question of assess
ment tax for the last few dayr. Each of
the propositions advanced will be taken
up and discussed and then the supreme
1 lodge will try to arrive at some conclu
! slon. Until this Is done the lodge will
make no statement as to Its attitude on
the propositions.
CROWDED BRIDGE FALLS.
Six People Are Serlonsly Injured and
Many Are Braised.
EAU CLAIRE. Wis., June 16. A long
section of the Madison-street bridge ap
proach went down under the weight of a
crowd of people tonight. Six pfrsons were
serlourfy Injured, and to or 30 others were
less seriously Injured. The accident oc
curred during an illumination of the
street carnival booths along the main
streets of the city.

SANTIAGO DE CHILE. June 16. United

KING IN NAME ONLY
New Ruler of Servia Is Shorn
of All Power.
MILITARY WILL BE AH' CONTROL
Ruling Spirits Will ainrder Kin
Peter as Readily as They Did His
Predecessor If He Opposes
Their Alms. 1
BELGRADE!, June 16. The position of
King Peter promises to be little more than
that of a captive. Tho real government
of .the country will be a military dictator
ship, under the leaders of the revolution.
Colonel Maschln and Colonel Mltschlltch.
The deliberations of the members of the
Senate and Skupshtlna on the republican
question were materially hastened by
the attendance of one of the leaders of
the revolution. Colonel Mltschlltch. The
Colonel took no part In the proceedings,
but his presence was significant enough
to Induce the members to accept the
army's choice. Premier Avakumovlch told
the Deputies that It was useless to talk
of a republic, as neither Russia nor Aus
tria would permit it. He further said
that the proposed new constitution would
give King Petor far les3 power than that
enjoyed by the President of the United
States.
The new King is almost without any
personal adherents, and the ruling spirits
of the. army, it is thought, would Just as
readily murder him as they did his pred
ecessor should be oppose their alms.
Military Rule Xott General.
At present the whole country Is under
military rule. and. although no prefects
In the country districts have been re
moved, each Is accompanied by an army
officer, who attends the prefect wherever
he goes, even to the telephone. This pol
icy has led to one good result not a sin
gle case of disorder anywhere has been
reported.
Extremely forcible arguments were
found necessary to repress the radical as
pirations of a republic. The foremost ad
vocate of the creation of a republican
rorm or government was Jnbomlr Schio
kovlcs, editor of the Belcrade QjJJek.
Finding him Impervious to argument, the
conspirators Invited him to a dinner at
the officers' club last Saturday. During
the dinner his "host told him that unleOT
he agreed to support Prince Peter thero
would be one less head In Belgrade that
night The editor yielded to the force of
this reasoning, and accepted the situa
tion. He is the new Minister of Justice
of the government.
Opposition to Xeiv King-.
In spite of the semi-official statements
made this morning that the delegation
of the National Assembly elected to sub
mit the crown to the newly chosen King
had already started for Geneva. It Is still
here. The government declares that the
number of Its members, 24. would entail
too great a cost on the country In the way
of traveling expenses, but the real rtason
of the delay In Its departure is that the
government found some of its members to
be averse to King Peter. Thene members
sought the opportunity to become recon
ciled to him at the expense of the coun
try. Now that tho Ministry has cut off
their traveling expenses, their desire to
make the Journey will be greatly dimin
ished, and the delegation will probably
ccrasist of a dozen members at the most.
It is believed that the army will try to
make secret terms with the new King, by
which It will retain the supremacy gained
by the tragedy, but whether the King will
agree to the conditions is uncertain.
One of the highest officiate of the pres
ent government asked a number of for
eign Journalists what Europe thought of
the way the revolution was carried out
He was told bluntly that It was consid
ered a brutal act He then explained
rrom his point of view that the assassina
tion of the King and Queen was an act
of mercy, as. by totally destroying the
dynasty, instead of deporting the sov
ereigns, the likelihood of a civil war was
precluded.
Telesyrama of Congratulation.
Following Is the text of the telegram
from Premier Avakumovlcs by which King
Peter was notified of his election:
"The national representatives of the
people, sitting together, have Just elected
you King of Servia. While making you
acquainted with the fact the government
of Servia has the honor to tend you its
heartiest congratulations, and to express
the desire that our country may have a
fortunate and glorious future in store un
der the rule of the grandson of the famous
Karageorgeiich, the first liberator of
Servia."
Tho telegrams sent by the president
and vice-presidents of the Senate and
Skupshtlna was as follows: j
"The national representatives of the
kingdom of Servia have unnnlmously and
enthusiastically elected you hereditary
King of Scnia. We have the honor to
convey to you our most cordial and en
thusiastic congratulations."
It Is said tonight that the Skupshtlna
has decided not to send a delegation to
Geneva until the constitution has been
revised In readiness to be sworn to bjr
King Peter.
The provisional government Is sorely be
set by financial difficulties. All sorts of
officials and politicians are making im
portunate demands for money, which the
treasurj is unable to satisfy. Altogether
the Ministry's position Is unenviable.
It transpires that Lieutenant Jovanovlcs.
of the Sixth Infantry, who shot and killed
himself Sunday, was concerned In the
revolutionary plot but failed to assist In
the attack upon the Konak. He was sum
moned to appear before a court composed
of senior officers. He pleaded as an ex
cuse he had fallen asleep, whereupon the
officers Informed him that he must com
mit suicide or appear before a court-martial.
Montenegro Shows Its Satisfaction.
CETTINJE, Montenegro. June IB. The
proclamation of King Peter as King of
Servia was received with the greatest sat
isfaction by Prince Nicholas, King Peter's
father-in-law, and Montenegrins generally.
Salutes were fired, 'bells rung and bands
paraded the town, which was beflagged
and illuminated at night Prince Nicholas
made a speech to an immense crowd, ex
tolling the virtues and bravery of the
Illustrious ancestors of King Peter, and
at the same time condemning the manner
in which King Alexander was assassin
ated. Ciar Wishes the Kins; Well.
GENEVA, June 16. The Czar has tele
graphed to King Peter as follows:
"Learning that the Senate and Skup
shtlna have formally proclaimed you King
of Servia, I venture to express to Your
Majesty my sincere wishes for the pros
perity of your country and the hope that
God may come to your assistance In the
enterprise you have undertaken for the
happiness of your psople. NICHOLAS."
ARMY HERO'S WOUXDS FATAL.
He Gave His Life to Prevent Frustra
tion of Plot to Kill Kin jr.
BELGRADE. June 16. The town is per
fectly calm, and quiet apparently, is as
sured. Cannons boomed In honor of King
Pfter today, and the church bells rang
merrily. Simultaneously aldng the main
street marched a funeral procession, ac
companied by all the panoply of the Greek
church a regiment of aldlers with its
band, was carrying to the grave the re
mains of & young Lieutenant to whom had
been accorded, the title of the "Army's
hero," a titte which was gained as fol
lows: The Commandant of the division en
camped la tha environs of Belgrade was
surprised In the palace by the conspira
tors on the lght of the assassinations
and managed to escape. He found a
mounted orderly, took his horse and gal
loped to the encampment of his division
to summon some of the regiments to tha
aid of the King. Just before reaching tho
camp the Lieutenant who was burled to
day, overtook tho Commandant, and In
the rangulnary fight which fnsucd the
Commandant was killed and the Lieuten
ant was mortally wounded, dying yester
day. The new royal ciphers are reaching the
military depots today, and will be served
out to the army before the arrival of
King Peter. Workmen were busy day and
night at the palace removing all elgns
of the tragedy, and repairing the damage
caused by flying bullets preparatory to
the Installation of the nfw ruler. It ap
pears very unlikely that an official ac
count of the crime will be published. The
absence of allkregret among the educated
class is most striking, and leads to the
conclusion that elth-rr the assassinations
were extremely popular or the Servians
are the most Impassive people In . the
world. A a matter of fact the whole
country Is governed by a few men and In
many cases the peasantry are ignorant
of the cause of the change.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 16. The re
port published In Now York that Madame

CARNEGIE'S TEMPLE.
A Posslhlllty In Heroic Sculpture 101)
Years Hence.
New York Sun.
Perhaps the heroic sculpture of, say, the
21st century will represent Mr. Andrew
Carnegie as Janus, a god of light, il
luminating equally the East and the
West, the Scepter of Knowledge In his
right hand, the Key of Wealth In his
left. Mr. Carnegie seems to appreciate
or prepare unconsciously for the ascrip
tion to himself of the functions of the
Italic deity. He has made himself the
guardian of the gateways of literature.
He has filled the world with libraries,
those cities and power-houses of light. He
has written luminlfcrous books and mag
azine articles with his bright and beamy
pen. And like his predecessor and proto
type on the Ausonlan shore, he Is espe
cially connected with pence and dedicate
thereto.
There Is this farther parallelism be
tween these two frlenis of man, that
they seldom shut up. Mark, however, that
while the original Janus was usually open
for war, his lucent successor Is always
open for peace.
There Is, then, a high significance and
fitness in Mr. Carnegie's ofter to the gov
ernment o the Netherlands of tl.5W.000
dollars for the establishment of an Inter
national library and a temple of peace at
The Hague. It is as if a god should
build and consecrate hl3 own shrine,
"Peace, with libraries," is Mr. Carne
gie's watchword. No spot could be more
suitable than The Hague as the site of
such a fane, and we hope that the gov
ernment of the Netherlands will be able
to fulfill Mr. Carnegie's generous design
without increasing taxes. Light and
peace ara lovely boons, but the world is
cursed with grumblers who. If we may
amend a phrase of Sydney Smith's, pre
fer any weight of Ignorance, however,
great to any burden of taxation, how
ever light In his career of beneficence
In the United States, the Scottish Janus
has found but too many surly "knockers"
at his temple doors. In Holland the re
sponse should be as quick with gratitude
as the plan is fruitful with mighty dis
tant benefit to the well-being of man
kind. We scarcely need add that there Is
a curious felicity In the endeavor of Mr.
Carnegie, who has acquired a modest com
ter.'je In the Iron and steel line, to
Induce his fellow men to beat their spears
Into prunlng-hooks.
Those illustrious statesmen and diplo
matists, the Hon. Scth Low and the Hon.
George Frederick "William IIolls, were
among the counselors sought by Mr.
Carnegie while this temple was rising In
his mind. The heart must be dead to all
noble aspirations that does . not throb
faster at the thought of Mr. Low and
Mr. Holts, walking arm In arm among the
quiet cloisters of the new Temple of
Janus, holding high discourse of munici
pal administration, international comity,
universal peace and ever and anon as
tounding the concourse of foreigners by
speaking French, as M. Chartran, that
court painter who knows not how to flat
ter, says of Mr. Roosevelt, "like a boule
vardlcr." Libraries In temples are a good old
classical fashion. In the library of The
Hague Temple of Janus, one reform, one
stern, necessary system of excision and
expurgation, should be enforced. What
tkllls It to build towers and temples of
light and peace, if works of war and
darkneo aie admitted there? Mr. Car
negie has shown a just sense of this dif
ficulty by "putting" old Homer "to sleep,"
to borrow a Homeric phrase. All the
firebrands and felons of literature. Homer,
the song of he Nlbelungs. the Cld, tne
song of Roland, all the sonorous scoun
drels, must be kept out of those sacred
precincts. Near those fountains ol light
must bb heard no harsher note than the
baa of law sheep and the maa of law
calf. i

HITCHCOCK IS SAFE
Cattlemen's Demand for His
Head Does Not Worry Him,
RESERVE PCLICY IS ATTACKED
Cabinet Officer Knows the President
Will Back Him Up, Bccanse He
Is Only Carrying Oat
the Law.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 16. There was no sign of
uneasiness on the countenances of Sec
retary Hitchcock today, when he read a
special dispatch from Denver announcing
that prominent members of the National
Live Stock Association Intend to make
a great effort to Induce President Roose
velt to .remove him from the Interior
Department, if there is not a change In
the forest reserve policy. Secretary
Hitchcock had no comment to ,make on
the attnek of tho stockmen.
The fact is Secretary Hitchcock Is not
wholly responsible for the administra
tion's forest reserve policy. He Is but ona
factor, but President Roosevelt, Secretary
Hitchccck, Chief Forestry PInchot, Land
Commissioner Richards and other promi
nent officials are working in harmony,
so far as forest administration Is con
cerned, and are agreed on the essential
features of the forest reserve policy.
Moreover, President Roosevelt has the
highest regard for Secretary Hitchcock,
believing him to bo an exceptional man
for his office, and one who will fearlessly,
but Justly, administer the laws.
Secretary Hitchcock has always main
tained that he Is not responsible for the
laws under which the present forest pol
icy is being built up. If the stockmen
do not like the policy, tho recourse is with
Congress. It is the laws they object to,
more than the policy, and If they want a
change they must go to Congress. While
the present laws exist. Secretary Hitch
cock says he will carry them out to the
letter, for he has no fear of losing his
office. In fact he knows he has the hearty
approval of the President, and any7 ap
peal the livestock men of the character
indicated will avail nothing.
PUGET SOUND AT FAULT.
Immigration Laws Are Not Obeyed
to the Letter.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 15. Immigration Commission
er Sargent Just returned from a tour of
Inspection of the Pacific Coast, during
which he made careful Investigations at
San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma, Port
Townsepd and Vancouver, B. C, says:
"Everywhere the laws were being rig
idly enforced except In the Puget Sound
section. There was no criminal or serious
laxity In the enforcement of the laws
there, but the officials apparently did not
fully understand the policy of the depart
ment as to the administration of the im
migration laws. Besides, there is a larger
force needed, and I will recommend to
Secretary Shaw that he appoint additional
men at Tacoma and Port Townsend, and
possibly at other places. I found that
Japanese were being admitted without
medical Inspection. Of course. I Immedi
ately corrected this and will see that In
future there are no admissions without
Inspection."
At Honolulu Mr. Sargent found a scar
city of labor on the sugar plantations.
Experiments have been made with Portu
guese, Porto Ricans and negroes from the
United States, but all of them proved un
satisfactory. The planters insist that the
ideal laborers In the cane fields are the
Chinese. The Chinese stick closely to
their work In the fields, are reliable and
In all ways satisfactory. They get about
SO cents a day. Including a good house to
live In and wood for cooking purposes.
The planters will continue their efforts
