INDIANAPOLIS, June 23. The -welcome
extended to Senator Fairbanks today by
the people of Indiana on his return home
from the Republican National Convention
at Chlcaco. where he was nominated for
Vice-President, -was very flattering and
extremely gratifying to the Senator.
Fair-sized crowds were waiting at all
the towns wiere the train was scheduled
to stop, and the Vice-Presidential candi
date was given the closest attention
while he was speaking. Senator Fair
banks scarcely referred to politics in the
half-dozen speeches he made during the
trip, as people of all parties and classes
turned out to greet him, and the demon
stration. In most instances, was of a non
partisan nature.
Senator Fairbanks and his party, which
was made up of Postmaster-General
Henry C. Payne,., Mrs. Payne. George B.
Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican
National Committee; D. M. Ransdell, Ser-geant-at-Arms
of the-United States Sen
ate; Mrs. Fairbanks, Mr. and Mrs. War
ren Fairbanks and Fred Fairbanks, left
Chicago at 1 P. M. in a special car over
the Big Four Railroad.
The first crowd to meet the Senator
was at Kankakee, III. Fowler and La

and the Senator madespaeeches at both
places. At Lebanon Senator Fairbanks
left his car and spoke from a platform
erected near the station. The demonstra
tion here was In charge -6f the Hannu
Club. Short stops were made at Colfax,
Zlonsvlllc, Thorntown and Whltestown-
Whistles Herald His Approach.
Senator Fairbanks reached his home
city at 7:30 o'clock tonight the approach
of the special . train bearing his party
being announced by hundreds of steam
whistles and by the ringing of bells.
When the train stopped. 10,000 people
cheered and waved a welcome. In the
crowd were several hundred prominent
people of the city representing all politi
cal parties and including the Mayor of
the city and the Governor of the State.
The committee representing the Colum
bia, Marlon and Commercial Clubs and
the Merchants' Association, which met
the Senator at Lebanon', had carefully
planned the details and the party rapidly
passed through the shouting throng to
carriages In waiting behind an escort of
COO members of the Marion Club.
Governor Durbln. Senator Beverldge
and Mayor John W. Holtzman occupied
the carriage with the Senator. National
Chairman Cortelyou, Secretary PaynD,
John W. Kern, president of the Commer
cial Club, and Mr. Ransdell rode in the
carriage following Senator Fairbanks.
Then came the ladles of the party.
Cheers Drown Music of Bands.
The music of the bands was drowned
In the great wave of welcome that hurled
Itself against the buildings as the pro
cession of 50 carriages started through
the crowded streets. Many houses were
illuminated, flogs were displayed and
rockets, brilliantly piercing the darkness
nbove, carried in advance the news of the
approach of Senator Fairbanks at his
home.
At Sixteenth and Meridian streets, near
which stands the beautiful Fairbanks
home, shaded by great forest trees and
flanked by a spacious lawn, fully 20.000
people were awaiting the party. Cheer
followed cheer as the Senator and Mrs.
Fairbanks alighted and entered their
Cjoryards, In which a large platform pro
fusely decorated had been erected.
Seats had been arranged for the speak
er and guests. Mayor Holtzmann -first
expressed to the Senator the pride of his
neighbors on -their sincere welcome.
Senator Beverldge was cheered heartily
as he arose. After a welcoming introduc
tion he said:
"The law of compensation is universal
and no honor comes to man without cor
responding duties. Into the arduous work
to which my eminent colleague Is called,
he will have the Inspiration of the good
will of every man and "woman In Indiana,
and we, on our part, have the sure
knowledge that, in all,, he will speak and
work for what he believes to be best for
the Republic And in this he will be
merely a type of Americanism, because
all of us. of every party and every creed,
are hoping and working in our various
ways to make and keep this Nation the
noblest of all the nations of tho earth."
John W. Kern. who. like Mayor HQltz
man. Is a Democrat, welcomed Senator
Fairbanks home on behalf of the Com
mercial Club and business Interests of
the city. There was another enthusiastic
demonstration that lasted several min
utes when Senator Fairbanks came for
ward to express his appreciation of the
welcome.
Senator Fairbanks, at the close of his
address, expressed a desire- to meet as
many as possible personally and shake
hands with them. This wish he had ex
pressed during the day at the various
stopping places. For an hour and more
following: the speeches, .the 'people
thronged past and shook hands with
both Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks, Chair
man Cortelyou and Secretary Payne also
being introduced.
FAIRBANKS TO HIS NEIGHBORS
Vice-Presidential Norninee Thanks
Them Again and-Again.
, INDIANAPOLIS. June 25. Senator Fair
banks, In expressing his appreciation of
the welcome tendered him by his home
city, said:
"Mayor Holtzman, Mr. Griffin, Mr.
Kern, my neighbors and friends: Tour
warm and enthusiastic welcome almost
overwhelms me. I am too poor in words
to express the gratitude I feel for this
kindly greeting. It is immeasurable. I
am not insensible to the high honor which
the Republican National Convention at
Chicago has conferred upon me. But
above that and beyond that, I value the
neighborly respect and friendly regard
which I have so long enjoyed here, and
which you manifest so generously tonight
"This city is very dear to ns alL We
have for It a profound affection. Most
of what we have been, and what we are,
and what we expect to be, 'Is centered
here. Its shame is our shame; its honor
our gloiry. It is home, and there Is no
sweeter, better word than this in all the
vast vocabulary of men.
"Our city has contributed many who
have taken conspicuous places in Ameri
can history. We are the Joint lnheriters
of the honor they have brought to it.
There was Thomas A. Hendricks, chosen
by the American people for the Vjce-
Presldency; Joseph E. McDonald, United-
States Senator, and William A. English,
once a candidate for the second office in
the gift of his countrymen. Men of great
ability and high purpose, and we honor
their memories. Irrespective of our polit
ical beliefs.
"In the perilous hours of our country
Oliver P. Morton, the Cromwell of Amer
lean politics, was a mighty tower of
strength. Walter Q. Gresham rendered
conspicuous military and civil service and
left us a spotless name. In the silent city
of the dead yonder, General Benjamin
Harrison sleeps. He' wrote a high record
of Intelligent, conservative, patriotic de
votion to the Republic.
"We are proud of our city and state, and
beyond that, we are proud of our citizen
ship. Here labor and capital, those two
mighty forces In our upbuilding, find a
fruitful field of employment, and here
their mutual rights are well protected.
"We value and hold fast to those virtues
of the fireside which are the real strength
of the Republic. Our people are charac
terized by plain living and high thinking.
"My friends, we have much to be thank
ful tor. About us are the ample rewards
of honest Industry and the rich fruits of
peace. Let us seek to promote good laws,
wise administration, and make ourselves
secure in the enjoyment of that content
ment which comes from the observance
and orderly enforcement of the law.
"I thank you and thank you again."

day "Governor Chamberlain will issue
the proclamations announcing the re

and direct primary laws, and from that
date they -will be In full force and ef
fect The proclamations will state the
substance of the acts and will be pub
lished in one paper In each judicial .dis
trict. It Is astonishing to see the little
knowledge -which exists . concerning
these laws, and men -who are in a posi
tion to learn public opinion say that
scarcely one 'in a hundred t)f the voters
have ever read both of the measures
clear through. Many people believe that
the enactment of the local option law
has the effect of prohibiting the liquor
traffic immediately, and one man has
written to the Secretary of State in
quiring why the. saloon's are permitted
to rnmnln onen. Others have been wrlt-
Ing. since election to secure copies of
the laws, expressing a desire to learn
their provisions.
Each county clerk was supplied with
copies In sufficient number to give each
voter one, yet comparatively few read
the laws.

Archbishop Alexander Christie is ill at
tho episcopal residence In this city, hav
ing recently undergone a serious opera
tion. The archbishop's secretary had not
heard of the filing of- the petition, and ex
pressed surprise at the news. He was
as a loss to explain it, as he states that
Jjha archbishop .universally respected.
A petition of this "kind, -may bear simply
the Signature of one priest, apd-'it is the
impression" here that 'Jt rIs the act of
someone who- has a grudge against the

mouth of the Baltic Canal this afternoon,
amidst the salutes from the assembled
German warships.
Emperor William, who was accompanied
by Prince Henry of Prussia, the Crown
Prince, Frederick William, and a brilliant
suite, awaited his uncle here. The meet
ing between the two sovereigns was most
hearty.
Long prior to the meeting of the mon
archs, dense crowds thronged the banks
of the locks and waited hours in a drench
ing rain lor a glimpse of the royal per
sonages. In the ranks of the guard bf
honor stood three df the Emperor's sons,
Eltel Frederick, his - second son; Oscar,
his fifth, and little Joachim, the latter
about four feet high, looking a Lilliputian
beside the fine tall man by hl3 side. The
guard of honor and the bodyguard had
hardly taken up their appointed positions
when Emperor William, In the uniform of
a British Admiral and wearing the ribbon
of the Order of Bath, arrived and In
spected them. Shortly. thereafter the Vic
toria and Albert hove In sight, with an
escortrof British cruisers, and a squadron
of German cavalry, which had . trotted.

Kaiser Kisses the King. -
King Edward, wearing the uniform of a
German Admiral and having a cross on
his breast, a ribbon of the Order of the
Black Eagle, was on the deck of the Vic
toria and Albert, with a large retinue.
Immediately after the gangway had been
laid Emperor William boarded-the British
yacht and greeted his uncle In the heart
iest manner, kissing him several times on
both cheeks. After greetings between
King Edward and Prince Henry of Prus
sia and tho Crown Prince, the King land
ed, witnessed, a march past the guards
and returned to his yacht, which after
wards entered Kiel harbor.
All the warships and vessels in the har
bor dressed ship, and the shore batteries
and warships fired royal salutes.
The banquet on the Hqhenzollern was
held on the upper deck. . Emperor Will
lam, In proposing a toast to King Ed
ward, said:
Greeting of the Emperor.
"It Is a great satisfaction to me to wel
come your Royal Imperial Majesty for the
first time on board a German warship.
Your Majesty comes to German shores as
the ruler of a great empire encompassing
the world through the sea, and most
kindly willing to participate in German
yachting.
"Your Majesty was greeted by thei thun
der of the guns of the German fleet which
Is glad to see Us honorary Admiral. It Is
the youngest creation among fleets In the
world and an expression of the reviving
sea activity of tho German Empire, regen
erated by the great Emperor of undying
memory. It .is intended for the protection
of trade and territory, and it also serves,
like the German army, for he mainte
nance of peace, which the German Em
pire has kept over 30 years, and which
Europe has preserved with It
"It. is known to every one, by Your
Majesty's words and influence, that Your
Majesty's whole endeavor Is- directed to
this very end the preservation of peace
as I, too, am ever devoted to the wish
that all might attain this end. May God
lend success to our efforts."
Response of King Edward.
King Edward replied as follows:
"In offering Your Imperial and Royal
Majesty the slncerest thanks for the ex
ceedingly kind words In which Your
Majesty has drunk my health, I esteem
myself happy to have the opportunity to
express the deepest gratitude for the bril
liant reception Yaur Majesty has prepared
for me.
"Your Majesty's appreciative reference
to my unremitting endeavors for the main
tenance of peace deeply touch me, and 1
am happy in the certainty that Yout
Majesty has the same object In view.
May our two flags float side by side to
the remotest ages, even as today, for the
maintenance of peace and the welfare, not
only of our own countries, but also of all
other nations."
When the King left the Hohenzollern,
shortly after 10. o'clock, a signal rocket
was fired, and all the warships burst Into
a blaze of light Many small craft were
Illuminated, and some, displaying "God
Save the King," In electric lights, trav
ersed the harbor, where launches, from
the warships performed a series of evolu
tions. Crowds on shore watched the brilliant
spectacle, despite an uncomfortable rain.
SHAKE-UP IN INDIAN OFFICES.

of a Thorough 'lnvestlga'tion.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,' Wash
ington, June25. Because qf the numerous
complaints and charges recently filed "with
Secretary Hitchcock against various em
ployes of the Indian service in Oregon and
Washington,, it has been decided to con
duct a sweeping Investigation and unearth
irregularities wherever they exist in those
two states. Department officials observe
strict secrecy, both as to the charges and
the Identity of the persons occupying the
offices to be Investigated, but It is Inti
mated that several persons In prominent
positions, are under Are, and, as a result,
a general shake-up in the Indian service
throughout the Northwest may be expect
ed. Charges have long been pending
against Superintendent Jay Lynch, at
Yakima, but his case is not among those
now being given consideration.
The Kalama reservation will come in for
