WILL OPEN FAIR.
Vice President Coming to Portland as
Representative of President.
Washington, May 15.— Vice Presi
dent Fairbanks intended to leave for
his Indiana home last night to spend
the next two months with his family,
but he received word that the president
wanted to see him, and called at the
White house at 11:30 today. The
president told him of his deep interest
in the Lewis and Clark exposition and
his regret that he himself could not
attend the opening of it.
He said,
however, that the administration
should be represented, and to his mind
nothing would be more appropriate
than that the second official of the na
tion should represent the president on
that occasion. Mr. Fairbanks prompt
ly fell in with the president’s sugges
tion, and expressed his thorough will
ingness to go to Portland, and has now
changed his plans so as to reach Port
land the last week in May.
He and
Mrs. Fairbanks will be present and
participate in the opening ceremonies.
The vice president will make the prin
cipal speech of the occasion.
Being unable to get to Portland either
at the opening of the exposition or later
in the summer, the president has ac
cepted the invitation extended to him
by President Goode to prees the button
which will be the signal for the formal
opening of the exposition, at 1 o ’clock
on the afternoon of June 1 — that is, 1
o'clock Portland time, 4 o’clock Wash
ington time.
A special through tele
graph wire will be run from the East
room of the White house into the ex
position grounds at Portland. At the
Washington end will be the same gold
key which President Roosevelt used to
open the 8 t. Louis exposition last year,
and which former presidents used to
open the Chicago, Buffalo aud other
expositions of times ^ast.
FIGHTING MOHOS.
American Troops Slay 300 Member,
of Outlaw Band.
Manila, May 16. — Fierce fighting
has been going on the last few weeks
on the island of Jolo, between the out
law chief Pala, with 600 well armed
followers, and troops under the per
sonal command of Major General Leon
ard Wood.
Pala’s losses thus far are
300 killed, while those of General
Wood are seven killed and 19 wounded.
Pala and his remaining followers, in
accordance with Moro tradition, prefer
death to capture.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americana occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with his
followers to the island of Pula Sekar,
near Borneo. One of Pala’ s leaders de
serted ami took refuge on the British
settlement at Lahad.
Pala, discover
ing his whereabouts, landed with a fol
lowing and demanded of the British
magistrate that he turn the deserter
over to him.
The demand was not
complied with, and Pala ordered a
massacre. Twenty-five persons, includ
ing several British, were killed.
