THE MANOEUVRES OF 14,000 TROOPS Dramatic Climax Was Furious Charge of Cavalry The People Continuously Acclaimed the King. Paris, May 2.

King Edward this morning witnessed the manoeuvres of 11,000 picked French troops on the parade ground at Vtr.cennes. It was a panorama or imposing prupui-tions. resembling as nearly as possible the conditions of warfare, the troops being uniformed and accoutred for actual field service. The King drove to Vicennes in an open state coach, accompanied by President Loubet. the cabinet ministers and tne heads of the army and navy.

The escort consisted of a regiment of cuirassiers. The streets were densely packed and the people continuously ac claimed the King. King Edward drove along the line of troops while fanfares of trumpets 3ounded, standards were dipped ana bands played "God Save the King." It was a sight to impress even a King. On ascending to the tribune, where under a canopy of flags and surrounded by chiefs of staff, the King witnessed the review, the spectators furiously acclaiming him and men rying "Bravo, Edward. A dramatic climax to the review was a furious charge of a whole brigade of cavalry.

It was a blood stir ring sight as the solid line of horse men swept straignt toward tne tving a the cavalrymen yelling and brandishing sabres. The charge terminated in an abrupt, halt in an un broken column immediately in iront of the tribune. The King rose and owed his acknowledgements of the alutes of the commanders and words of congratulation to President Loubet on the splendid dis- ipline and appearance of the troops. Later King Edward was driven to hotel De Ville, where he was welcomed as the guest of the municipality. Crowds everywnere continued friendly manifestations.

At Hotel de Ville King t.iwara made his first formal speech in France He referred to beauty of Paris and assured the officials that he would not scon forget his visit to this charming city on the bounteous reception accorded him. The King then drank some champagne from an exquisite cup presented to him by the municipality. It is of crystal, chased with gold and re presents two sirens, with arms entwined, offering a cup. Longehamps was the center of attraction in the afternoon and there King Edward was the chief figure. It was a typical French racing scene.

The ideal weather drew an enormous crowd of fashionable and aristocratic persons to the racecourse. The driveways and paddock were packed closely with open carriages filled with gay racing parties including women in rich costumes of bright colors. Nearly 9.000 carriages entered the enclosures. King Edward and President Loubet arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon and were warmly acclaimed as they took their places in the royal box where Madame Loubet, Madame St. Prix and a party of officers awaited them.

The King wore an overcoat, and carried field glasses. He had appearance of a gentleman sportsman. WELCOMED TO PARIS. A Royal Reception Given King Edward by French Capital. Paris, May 2.

For the first time since the visit of the Czar, the ally of France, the republic yesterday received a state visit from a ruling monarch, King Edward of England. There has been for a long time much coolness, not to say a bitter feeling, between the people of Great Britain and France growing out of the Fashoda incident and the war in the Transvaal and the situation was not improved by the political pin-pricks administered by France in connection with other matters and the sharp responses made by England. There has been no formal reconciliation and no coming together over some definite international ques tion, yet Paris was gaily decorated to receive the English King, who was so recently caricatured by French ar tists in the most bitter way.

POLITICS IN MISSOURI. Indications That the Republicans May Carry the State in 1904. Washington, May 2. hAs viewed by Republican eyes in Washington, the corruption in the Missouri legislature with the indictment of members of the state senate for bribery are of national political significance and give Missouri a greater interest to the managers of both parties than has attached to that state for many years.

It is asserted by Republicans that the exposures by the grand juries at Jefferson CJty and St. Louis indicate Democratic defeat in Missouri in 1904. It is true that about half of the state senators indicted- are Republicans, but it is also true that the trial of corruption leads past the door of the Democratic lieutenant governor, the Democratic state central committee and toward United States Senator Stone, the leader of the Missouri Democracy who was a close friend of Lieutenant Governor Lee and the founder and promoter of his political fortunes. Analysis of the returns of the last two elections in Missouri show that had not St. Louis and the other large citie3 of the state given large pluralities for the first time in years, the state would have been carried by the Republicans.

In other words, rural Missouri, so long a Democratic stronghold, is rapidly becoming Republican, and but for the exposure of Republican corruption in St. Louis it is not reasonable to suppose there would have been so radical a change in the election results' in that "city at the last two polls. All of the municipal bood-lers prosecuted and convicted by Mr. Folk -were Republican ex-officeholders, and decent Republicans in St. Louis deserted their party and voted with the Democrats to condemn these.

In the case of the state bood- lers the shoe is on the other foot, tvrt rf the state nnrnnizn. ia in tne hanls ot the these circumstances the rural electors may continue to vote against Democratic men and measures and the. Democrats may have to fight hard for success next year. Sunk in 30 Fathoms of New York, May 2. A marine despatch from, New London, says the barge Afton.

with coal, sprang a leap and sank in 30 fathoms of wa- ter early to-day off Faulkner's island. 'One man was drowned. I light basket like structures, filled and covered with great blossoms, these, too, showed myriads of electric lights. i nff the J11 fpw main streets there was not ecoration, save here and there a few flags. A remarkable feature of the occasion was the great number of English and Americans in the city, many of them having come specially to the French capital to take part in the welcome of King Edward.

The I processions which escorted the King from the railway station consisted practically of two battalions of cuira-siers. They passed at a smart trot along the whole route from the station to the embassy. From start to finish there was not an untoward incident. Stories had been circulated to the effect that hundreds of loafers had been hired to whistle and hiss, while tlaqueuers applauded. Neither one nor the other was in evidence.

Before neon the crowds drifting along the de corated streets were largely English and Americans. Afterwards Paris turned out and by 2 o'clock the whole line cf the route was densely thronged. Traffic along the route and in the streets leading to the route of the procession were closed at about 2 o'clock. Shortly after that hour the members of the British embassy, in full diplomatic uniform, started in carriages to meet the King. Cuirassiers surrounded the palace of the Elysee.

A group of generals, ministers, and diplomats assembled outside. On the station platform were a red clothed company of Republican Guards, a de tachment of mounted guards, and a band, under the renowned Pares, who had returned from Geneva especially for the occasion. At 2:45 President Loubet arrived, and was greeted with the "Marseillaise." He was accompanied by the ministers. The King's train, decorated with the French and British colors, steamed into the station a minute ahead of schedule time. As it came to a' stop bugles sounded and the band played the French and British national anthems.

King Edward wore the uniform of a British field-marshal, with the insignia of the Legion of Honor. As he. stepped upon the platform President Loubet welcomed His Majesty in a few courteous well-chosen words, and the King re olied in excellent French. The Pre sident then introduced Prime Minister Combes. President Loubet and the King, followed by the latter's suite, then walked up a staircase to the waiting room, a beautifully furnished apartment with rich red velvet hangings, relieved with gold and decorated with palms and flowers.

Here the President and the King stood together His Majesty's staff on his left, and the ministers on M. Loubef's right. The King first introduced his staff, ind then- M. Loubet introduced the ministers. The King and M.

Loubet then went lutside and entered a carriage drawn bv four black horses, with two outriders and two footmen. The Presi-lent looked small alnngskle the King. When they first met it is agreed by their entourages that both were some what nervous The carriage drove off the strains of the "Marseillaise" and "God Save the King," and a salute was fired from Mount Valerian. The crowd was kept off a consideable dis tance. Ambassador Monson and Prime Minister Combes followed in a second carriage.

M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs; General Dubois, General Lacroix, and the Hon. Mr. Harding rode in the third carriage, while the rest of the party followed in others. The King drove to the.

British embassy, and afterwards called at the Elysee palace. The Kaiser at Rome. Rome, May 2. Emperor William of Germany on his arrival here to-day was welcomed at the railroad station by King Victor Emmanuel, the Duke of Genoa, and other notable persons. TWO STABLE BOYS BURNED.

St. Louis, May 2. This was the last day of the dedication exercises of the exposition, and In many respects it was more successful than those which preceded It. The beautiful weather of yesterday continued and the dense crowd that went through the turnstiles all through the early hours and limed the streets In solid ranks to watch the great civic parade, compared favorably in' point of numbers with the multitude of the opening day. To-day was state day, and aside from the dedication of the various state buildings, which took place in the afternoon, it was surrendered to a magnificent parade.

The pomp 'and circumstance of a military pag-ant were absent, but the event of to-day was no less impressive. A crash of aerial bombs at 10:30 o'clock this morning notified the throngs of spectators, who lined Lin-dell boulevard for a distance of three miles, that the civic parade had begun. As the bombs exploded almost a solid phalanx of people that for hours had been waiting set up a shout that swept from one end to the other of the exposition! grounds. Fully 30,000 men were in the pa-rada Carriages containing visiting governors accompanied by ithelr staffs, aggregating 188 mounted men, swept ahead of the procession and stopped at the reviewing stand where the governors took seats to await the passing of the parade. The world's fair commissioners from states -anS foreign countries also alighted at the reviewing stand.

At the head of I he civic parade rode Col. Eugene Spencer, grand marshal. The United Marine Band furnished music quickening the steps of the Veterans Iivision. which immediately followed undor the leadership of Gen. John W.

Noble, ex-secretary of the interior, as Expensive floats depieiting the earlier days of the Ixmisiana domain, Indians and trappers and other pic-v tures of the life of the period were seen. All of the commercial bodies of the city participated. Many extravagantly decorated vehicles were piloted in the procession. After this parade had been ve-' viewed by the visiting governors of states on the exposition grand stand, the audience was invited to assemble in the Liberal Arts building, where the assemblage was called to order by William H. of the exposition and chairman of the grounds and building committee.

The Rev. William R. Harper, president of the University of Chicago, delivered the invocation. Former United States Senator William Lindsay, of Kentucky, of the national commission was the president of th9 day. Gov.

A. M. Dockery, Missouri, made an address and Gov. Benjamin B. Odell, of New York, responded.

New Roehelie, N. May 2. For the first, time since being put in commission the Reliance was taken out for a trial spin in the sound to-day, and under conditions which gave the best opportunity thus far afforded to test her sailing abilities in a choppy sea.

Boston and Maine May not Re' new Contract with Rutland.

THE ENTRANCE TO ALBANY AFFECTED If Contract Cannot Be Renewed Terms May Be Made with Boston Albany Route Would Be Longer. (Special to The Messenger.) Bennington, May 2. Considerable interest is being aroused in this section over the apparently well founded rumor that the contract which has been in operation between the Boston Maine, and the Rutland companies tne past yeir reiai ing to the running of trains over the tracks of the former road would not ue renewed as soon as it expires, which will be in a few weeks. The Rutland main line ends at White Creek, N. and the company has no entrance to Troy or Albany except over the tracks of the Boston Maine road beginning at White Creek.

Under tho terms of a entered into a year ago, the Rutland road secured the right to run ts own trains, manned with its own over the Boston Maine tracks jirect into Troy, and from there to Albany over the tracks of the New Fork Central road. The result was that, more trains put on. soiid trains were run jetween Montreal and Albany, and nuch better time made, while the accommodations were much poorer than for years. Should the contract be broken it would mean that the Rutland road rould be put to much inconvenience get its trains into Albany. The jnly way that it can do it would be lo run its over the Chatham iivision to Chatham, a distance of 52 niles iront here, and from there to Albany over the Boston Albany racks if the necessary permission an be procured.

It would practical ly destroy the through passenger raffle that baa been built t.p ana re- 1 urn rssonger trains to old time; Tho distance betwcea Barlin- i on and Albany would be increased ome 30 miles, and probably only one hrough train would be run a day. where there are now three. Should he Rutland road. not get tho to run its trains over the Bostoi. 4 Albany lca-d.

it may run its trains Chatham so as to connect with that and passengers would have to there. It is also rumored that the mail train over the Chatham division of he Rutland road which n.akes Duly one round! trip a day between Chatham and here, will soon be run hrough to Rutland and return. The rrain crew is here six hours a day loing nothing. The distance from to Chatham is 114 miles, and the officials of the road believe that the round trip can easily be made in a day. Should- this change be nade it is feared that one of the trains which now comes from Troy and goe3 north may be taken off.

It is well known that there is no veat love between the officials of he Boston Maine and the Rutland roads. ROOSEVELT AT TOPEKA. Delivers Address Before Y. C. A.
