WASHINGTON, June 5. President Taft
has notified Mr. Tawney, chairman of
the House committee on appropriations,
and Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington, that he does not wish to have an
appropriation made for his traveling ex
penses to Alaska, as Mrs. Taffs health
is such that she probably will not be able
to make the trip.
The President said lie . did not think
that Mrs. Taffs illness would interfere
with hi trip to the Seattle Exposition.
Although he has made no definite an
nouncement heretofore, it has been the
Presidents intention to depart in Au
gust on a ten weeks' tour of the West
and Alaska. It is said that the pos
sibility that Mrs. Taft will be able to
accompany the President with safety is
slight, although she Is making satis
factory progress towards recovery from
her recent illness. Faced with the neces
sity of lea.-ing her behind and the possi
bility that a relapse might occur, Mr.
Taft made up his mind to abandon the
Summer excursion altogether and en
deavor to make a visit to the Northwest
in the early Fall.

JUSSERAND GIVES
BUY CITY MEDAL
Token of Admiration From
France to City Which
Has Resurrected.
HIS FORECAST FULFILLED
Ambassador Relates How He Con
ceived Idea of Medal to Commem
orate Rebuilding; While the
City Was Burning;.
j SAN FRANCISCO. June 5. Citizens of
iwo repunucs commemorated anew today
the reconstruction of a city virtually an
nihilated a little over three years ago,
and -San Francisco received from the dip
lomatic representative of France a great
sold medal conveying a sister republic's
acknowledgment of heroic achievement.
The Orphctim Theater was crowded to
its seating capacity and men and wo
men cheered when Jean Jules Jusserand.

t u .u .Ma.iui i-j. xv. jttn.u- me splen
did token of a nation's appreciation.
I The presentation c.eremonv hmnffht r.f
one of the most brilliant assemblages
since the earlhquake of April 18, 1906. A
miniature forest of living ferns and palms
encircled the stage, where the official
guests of the city were seated. The
Mayor presided, with the French Ambas
sador at his right hand, and Governor
James N. Gillett at his left. At the Am
bassador's right were diplomatic repre
sentatives from all over the world. Local
leaders of French and American society
tilled the boxes.
In explaining the origin of the idea to
present the medal to the city, the Am
bassador reviewed the continued intimacy
of the two nations. He said:
"Since, the early days of American in
dependence no great event has happened
in this country without awakening a
friendly voho in distant France." He told
of the many expressions of regard given
by both France and by America to each
other, finally coming down to the time,
three years ago. when the United States
presented to France a medal commemo
rative of the war in which the European
nation received Franklin when he came to
tell the woes of the struggling thirteen
states. On the day of the presentation of
the medal detailed news of the disaster
that had befallen San Francisco was
lacking. M. Jusserand said that, as he
rose to accept the medal, the thought
flashed through his mind that the next
token of friendship between the two
nations might commemorate the resurrec
tion of the city.
"When I had thus spoken, on April 20,
1906.' we knew but very imperfectly in the
East what was happening in the West,
but I know too well the American temper
to have any doubt as to what fight
against adversity your shores were then
seeing and as to what resurrection they
would see later. The past life of a city,
where pluck, energy, fearlessness are
more common than even gold in her
banks, supplied the decision. All behaved
as men and women of heart and honor.
The page written by the inhabitants of
San Francisco on the moving ashes of
their dead city is not one that any wind
will ever sweep away."
Mr. Jusserand explained that the senti
ments he expressed upon the presentation
of the Franklin medal were so well in
accord with those of the Frenoh Republic
and San Francisco had been so quickly
resurrected that a medal had been struck
by his government and he had been or
dered to cross the continent to present it.
"This work of which one single copy m
gold has been made." continued the Am
bassador, "is destined 'to the American
people and the town of San Francisco.'
One side emblematically shows your city
rising from her tomb, and, powerful and
handsome as ever, throwing oft her
shroud; on the other side the figure of
France is seen, presenting a branch of
laurel to America."
He closed by saying:
"Accept this gift. Mr. Mayor, and

zens, in token 'that what once was
still is; that we French continue, as of
old. to feel with you in your moments
of happiness or of anguish. Long live
votir city, and may continuous pros
perity be the lot of the American Na
tion." Responding to the Ambassador's ad
dress. Mayor Taylor expressed, in be
half of the city, his grateful apprecia
tion of the- French government's gift,
alluded to the historic friendship of the
two . republics, and in conclusion said:
"San Francisco begs you will assure
your government that it is in no per
functory spirit she receives this medal,
but with a spirit of gratefulness, and
indeed of exultation, that so great a
country as yours should deemvur city
worthy of its especial regard and favor.
At the same time we cannot but realize
that while this medal is given to our
own city, it is in large measure a gift
to the people or the United States, and
truly symbolizes that warm .and endur
ing friendship which lias for so long
; time "existed between your country
and mine."
The ceremony closed with an informal
reception by Ambassador Jusserand and
an inspection of the medal.
M. Jusserand was entertained tonight
at a municipal banquet given in the
white and gold room of the Fairmont
Hotel. A toast to the Presidents of
France and the United States was the
occasion for a great outburst of en

M. Jusserand said:

sentiments expressed tonight, the mills
of Gray's Harbor may be kept closed
until after the Fourth of July. To start

Several camps were close today ana
others will follow unless there is an
immediate settlement of the labor
trouble. There is talk of attempting to
extend the strike to Hoquiam If the
Aberdeen millowners decide to close
down until after the Fourth. This, the
strikers deny. The famine caused by
the refusal of millowners to deliver
wood, is creating a most unfavorable

may hamper the streetcar system. All
building operations are at a standstill,
the millowners refusing to allow lum

It is understood they have an agree

not to deliver lumber here, which may
