CLASSIFICATION OF THE FINE
William IT. Thomp
son, president of the
National Bank of
Commerce, will, In his
capacity of chairman
of the Committee on
Grounds and Build
ings, drive the first
stake for the World's
Fair at Forest Park
at 11 o'clock this
morning.
A formal programme.
of exercises to signal
ize the Important
event In World's Fair
history has been de
vised. President Ill
run Phllli'is of the
Board of rublic im
provements will rep
resent the city In the
evcnt.Chalrman Isaac
8. Taylor of the Com
mission of Architects,
the head of the con
struction force of the
World's Fair, will rep
resent that depart
ment and make a. ftw
remarks. Cyrus P.
,Walbridge, member of
the Committee on
Ceremonies, will, in
"the absence of the
chairman and vice
chairman, represent
that committee in the
exercises. President
Francis will close the
ceremonies with an
address congratulat
ing bis coworkers on
the step forward.
These exercises will
not' be intended to
mark the formal be
ginning of work on
the site. Tlio break
ing of ground for the
buildings will mark
(he real .beginning of
construction work and
an elaborate pro
gramme, in which the
Slate Governments
and the Federal Gov
ernment w;U take
part, will be prepared,
for the event. Tlio
.programme for the
3-
present event was
fcurrledly devised to fill a void. It cele
Drates the flffli .disturbance of grdtlnd oh
the Fair site.
aCILDUG IB nn-f m " .J"' '
EOIIt IMMEDIATELY. .
Tbe erection of the buildings for the
Worlds Fair will not follow directly the
driving of the first stake. The driving of
the first stake is preliminary to the sur
vey to determine the lines for the buildings.
Buch determination must be made before
the architects can bo put to designing the
structures. The survey will give the exact
dimensions of the ground to be covered by
each building.
At'the next meeting of the Commission of
Architects, which, according to Chairman
"Taylor, will be text week, each architect
will be allotted the building he is to design.
Hot until these designs have been com
pleted, the working drawings prepared and
Ms contracts for construction let. will
ground be broken.
"W musfc'let the contracts this fall If we
re -to have the buildings ready In time." '
Mid. Chairman Taylor yesterday.
TOUT STAKE TO BE MARKED
"STATION HO. 1."
The first stake for the World's Fair will
"be of oak, 2x2 Inches and 3S Inches long, the
taper to consume 8 inches of the length.
EThw Is the ordinary stake used by survey
on." It wfll be Inscribed "Station No. L"
""""hi stake. will be driven borne by one of
the surreror's force. The ceremonial stake
will be driven by "Chairman Thompson In
this oak stake and extracted Immediately
after the ceremonies for preservation.
There is some haziness as to the exact
pot In which the stake Is to be driven.
Some of the constructors declare that the
initial point of the survey will bo at Llndell
boulevard and DeBallvlere avenue, which Is
' the northeast corner of the site; that whero
ver the ceremonial "first stake" Is driven.
the actual first stake will be where the
transit Instrument Is placed to take the first
Wght" into the. grounds, and that the sur
veyor -"bench mark" at Llndell and De
Sallvlere avenues' is this point.
Another constructor declares that the
first jUke will be driven about the middle:
of the eastern line of the World's Fair site
In 'Forest Park.
Chairman Isaac- 8. Taylor, In whose
chares the work-is, declares that tho sfakn
.will be driven at the architectural center
of the site, so that the line's of the build
ings shall radiate from It in all directions.
FTJKltWHUfa OFFICES
FOR THE ARCHITECTS.
A -conference was held yesterday after
noon between Isaac 8. Taylor and Secretary
Marshall D. Lyle of the Committee, on Sup
plies relative to .furnishing tho new offices
which are being " prepared for "tho Chief
Architect on the fifth floor of the Odd Fel
lows' building.
When Chief Architect Taylor moves into
these offices tbey will be completely
equipped," as though they had been occupied
for years. The llst'of 'materials to bo sup
plied for those offices covers ten typewrit
ten pages.
PHOTOGRAPHIC COXCESSIOX
MAY NOT BE IRON-CLAD.
It la likely that the photographic conces
sion at the EL Louis World's Fair will not
involve. as complete a rnonoply as was tho J
case in Chicago or Buffalo. Here no tripod
camera not controlled by the concessionaire
was allowed on tho grounds at any time
from the commencement of construction un
til the closing of the exposition. The Pub
licity Bureau had to depend entirely oh the
material for Illustrations supplied by this
concessionaire and had to print a copy
right line with each photograph.
.This restriction prevented many newspa
pers and magazines which desired to pre
sent original material from printing arti
cles that would have been of great value for
publicity.
I would recommend a deflation from
the plan pursued at Buffalo In this re
gard,", said Mark Bennitt yesterday. "Tho
photographic concession should have far It.
chief grant the preparation and publication
of view books. Every other photographic
transaction on the grounds should be un
der ths supervision of the Publicity
Bureau."
A .special meeting of. the. Missouri His
torical Society has been called for this even

Mark Bennitt, formerly chief of the Bu

American Exposition, and who has' been ap
pointed to a position In the publicity depart
ment of the World's Fair, arrived in St.
Louis, from Ruffalo yesterday, and will en
ter upon his. duties to-day.' Mr. Bennitt
s.iys that the business of the Buffalo ex
position I? about finished. All the adver
tisement now Is being done through the
medium of newspapers throughout the
country.
"I find." said Mr. Bennitt, "that the or
ganization In St. Louis is more com
plete and further advanced than at any ex
position which has ever been held. There
Is no doubt In my mind that It will be pos
sible to build the Fair and open the gates
by May L 1903. There will be no delays,
causcU by conlllct of authority, as was the
case at Chicago. The work Is so perfectly
organized that once the building begins. It
can be pushed to completion without a
halt."

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Sept. 2. Venezuela's official
memorandum giving her explanation of her
prownt troubles with Colombia, which is
addressed to all friendly nations, reached this
country to-day by the Red Star steamer
Philadelphia from La Guuj-ra, the seaport
cf Caracas. a
The memorandum Is signed by Eduardo
Blanco; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Is dated August 16. It was published In the
Official Gazette In Caracas to-day, and a
translation of the document Is given here
with: Tho official memorandum:
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Confiden
tial. To His Excellency Mr. , Minister
of , Caracas: Tho Government of the
Republic considers it indispensable to lay
before friendly nations an exposition of the
abnormal situation created by the events
which have occurred In one of the States of
Yctczuela, which adjoins Colombia, and, as
an enlightened Power, to explain to them
the unforeseen circumstances which have,
against their vlsh, n.ude It necessary to
partly suspend the rights guaranteed by the
Constitution and to still maintain a warlike
atlitt.de, whlcfi is rendered obligatory for
the nralntenance of public order und for the
upholding of the national honor.
Trouble Brewing for a Year.
Since the time when the national forces
of Colombia. In the middle of the year 1930,
overcame the revolution, which was then
In the ascendant In the District of Cucuta,
and occupied tne territory nearest to the
Venezuelan frontier, lively fears of disturb
ance began to be felt In the towns and vil
lages of Tachlra, and these had their
origin In the favor which the military au
thorities of Santander openly extended to
the principal Venezuelan exiles, the enemies
of the Government of this Republic, which
was obliged on more than one occasion,
owing to an attack on a coast guardsman
and to other acts of a like aggressive na
ture, to request tho Intervention of the dip
lomatic representative of Colombia In :he
matter and to ask in a friendly manner, and
at times even by way of protest, thnt a
change should be effected In the situation on
the frontier which, on account of Its un
usualness, should not bo allowed to con
tinue and should be avoided for Its danger
ous tendencies'.
Venezuela's Efforts at Neutrality.
The Venezuelan executive. In contradiction
of the rumors which were then' circulated
to the rwt that some military men subject
to the Government of Colombia Intended to
Invade the conterminous territories with the
view of encouraging the revolutionary spirit.
were In a position, not deeming It in any
way necessary to. collect their forces on
the. frontier, to believe the assurance given
by the legation that the Cabinet at Bogota,
far from stimulating, as was also alleged,
such like purposes, was determined to ob
serve, and to cause all Its subalterns to ob
serve, the strictest neutrality regarding the
internal affairs of the contiguous countries.
Colombia Invaded Venezuela.
About the middle of last July, indeed, a
normal condition obtained. The Republic
had Just addressed nn extensive circular to
all her sister Republics' of America, expres
sive .of her desire to contribute "with the
greatest efficacy possible to the work of
harmony and fraternity which the next
conference nt Mexico will" endeavor to re
allze.
It was, therefore, that the violation of the
territory by Colombia troops, with a Vene
zuelan revolutionist at their head, came as
a double surprise to the Government, be
cause, apart from there being no material
Indication whatsoever, which could have
cauped Jt to be expected, tho very, circum
stances In which the Republic found Itself
and tho state of relations' with the neigh
boring country rendered It Impossible to
foresee, not only any such extraordinary
acts, but even any movement emanating
solely from exiled Venezuelans.
Seat a Xote ot Protest.
When confirmation of the facts of the In
vasion reached the executive power; when
It became certain "that the "forces which
had violated our territory belonged, to a
considerable number, to the regular troops
of the neighboring Republic, the Govern
ment, on July' 2J, addressed a note to the
Colombian Legation, In which they called '
the. attention of the Minister-to the serious
fact that the forces which had .crossed' the
frontier were organized military troops,-and
that this constituted a breach ot the most
elementary principles of International- law,
and. at the same time, protested against
the complicity in this act which could- be
attributed .to- the chiefs of that army who
were subject,-as It was natural to believe,
to the government or the neighboring Be-.

who crossed In full light of day, bringing
with .them disorder and war, under the flag
and name of a revolutionary exile."
Colombian Officials Expressed Sur
prise. The' Minister of Colombia, In reply to the
protest by the Government, 'manifested sur
prise at the news of the Invasion and pre
tended that tho fact "could only have been
accomplished contrary to the"' definite or
ders given to all civil and military employes
on the Colombian frontier. He further-
added that well-known antecedent circum
stances gavo ground for hoping that the
participation of entrapped Colombians In
the Invasion would not have the importance
which was attributed to it.
Tho reply ended with a simple, promise to
transmit the protest of Venezuela to Bo
gota, nnd his Excellency restricted himself
to receiving the same "ad referendum."
In thlH consideration attention must also
be had to the dubious method chosen by the
Minister In qualifying the invaders, whom
ho considers to be only "entrapped Colom
bians." Forced to Take Action.
This manner of treatment forced the
Chief Executive to see the necessity of ob
serving an attitude which, without cutting
off the means of future Intercourse, should
tho superior powers of the neighboring Re
public prove not to have participated in
tne aggression, wouia nevertheless be n
accordance with the requirements and exi
gencies of the national honor and. integrity.
Xo Satisfaction From Colombia.
With this Intent, the. legation was told,
on July 29, that Its answer, far from solv
ing, even in part, uny one of the very
grave points, raised In' the note of the
Venezuelan Minister for Foreign Affairs,
was restricted to considerations of a general
naturo and to a promise to transmit- the
protest to the .Government of Colombia at
the first opportunity. The executive power
was or opinion that until the answer should
arrive and be communicated by. his Excel
lency for the purpose of explaining tho
.-.Ituatlon of things, they felt It advisable
during such time of waiting to suspend re
lations with the Colombian Legation, this
course being Indicated by consideration ot
its own honor arid that of- the country.
Clearly an Acttop Wnr.
It was demonstrated not only to the
Government but to the public that an
ovldent violation of Venezuelan territory by
battalions belonging to the regular army
of Colombia, commanded by their own of
ficers, had taken place, and that not even
the least change In the appearance, dis
cipline or formation of these troops could
bo observed.
The circumstances were thus greatly ag
gravated, for the invaders were not even
Venezuelans armed with Colombian rifles
and. equipped in secret by their authorities,
but the troops of the line of that Republic
who had left their own camp in full day, in
order to perpetrate the aggression.
The' assistance so lent, without any con
cealment' whatever, by" soldiers in service, to
a Venezuelan revolutionist, while it serious
ly modifies the general harmony between
the two nations, obliges the Government to
hold Itself ready In arms for how long, it
Is Impossible to foresee at the present moment-arid
this, owing to the inexplicable
nature of the aggression, may produce re
sults of an .exceedingly grave character.
Protests to the World.
Until the moment arrives for defining the
attitude which this Republic should assume
for" safeguarding her rights, her Govern
ment solemnly protests, before the civil
ized nations of the world, against the In
vasion 6f any'.portlon of the national terri
tory by military forces belonging to the
regular army of Colombia and against the
acts committed by them.

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 2. The Vice
President has had a stenuous-day. Arriv
ing over the Milwaukee road this morning,
he was the orator of the day at the formal
opening of the Minnesota. State Fair, by
Invitation of the Minnesota Agricultural So
ciety, shook a thousand hands at a re
ception following the exercises, was the
guest of the Fair Association at lunch on
the grounds nnd reviewed the Third Infan
try and First Artillery, Minnesota National
Guard.
"Colonel" Roosevelt occupied the Judges
stand at the race track with General Miles,
Archbishop Ireland and Goverpor Van Sant
of Minnesota. The grand stand was liter
ally packed, and when Governor Van Sant,
In Introducing the Vice President, asked
tho ladles to wave their handkerchiefs and
the men to give three cheers, the result
was 'a response which the Vice President
will long remember. The audience was
responsive throughout the Vice President's
address, and he bad frequenUy to pause
before he could make himself heard.
Roosevelt's Address.
Tho Vice President. In beginning his. ad
dress, paid a high tribute to the character
and energy of his hearers descended, he
said, from a race of pioneers, which had
pushed westward Into the wilderness ahd
laid the foundations for new Common
wealths. "We cannot possibly do our best work
as a nation unless all of us know how to
act in combination as well as to act each
individually for himself. This acting In
combination can take many forms, but of
course Its most effective form must be when
it comes in shape of law; that is, of action
by the community as a whole through the'
law-making body. No hard and fast rule
can be laid down as to where our legislation
shall stop In Interfering between man and
man, between Interest and Interest.
There was, he contended, but the scantiest
Justification for most of the "outcry acalnst
men of wealth, as such, nnd it ought to be'
unnecessary, he saw, to state that any-appeal
which finally entails the possibility of
lawlessness and violence was an attack
upon the fundamental, properties of Ameri
can citizenship:
As to our relations with foreign Powers;
Vice President Roosevelt said that our na-".
Hon, while first of all seeing to Its own
domestic well-being, must "not shrink from
playing its part among the great nations
without. "Our duty," he sald,.."may take
many forms in the future as It has taken
many forms In the past. Nor Is It possible
to lay down a hard and fast rule for all
cases. W: must ever face the fact of our
shifting national needs, of the" always
changing opportunities that present them- :
selves. Butwe may be certain of one thing,
whether wo wish It or not. we cannot
avoid- .hereafter having, duties to do in the
face of other nations. All that we can do
is to settle whether we shall perform these
duties well or- ill.
"We do not by this doctrine Intend to
sanction any pqllcy of aggression by one.
American Commonwealth at'the expense of
any other, nor any policy of .commercial dis
crimination against-, any foreign Power
whatsoever. Commercially, as far as this
doctrine is' concerned, all we wish is a fair
field. and no favor, but It we are wise we
ball strenuously Insist' that under no pre
text whatsoever. shall' there be any terri
torial aggrandizement on American soil by
any European Power, and this, no matter
what form, the territorial aggrandizement
may take."

union wearing' a distinguished uniform.
These uniforms were made by tho locked
out girls of Garment Makers' Union, No. 47,
who have started a co-operative factory.
These young women, dressed In white, rode
In a tally-ho coach, and were cheered all
along the line. Mr. Bryan occupied a car
riage at the head of the line and was
'cheered whenever recognized. A striking
feature of tho parade was the Hod Carri
ers' Union, negroes, 223 men, wearing white
shirts and black caps, and led by a negro
the afternoon there were speaking and
athletic games at Electric Park, and to
night there were more addresses. The
orator cf the afternoon was William J.
Bryan, who was preceded by Mayor Reed
The pavilion at the park was crowded to
suffocation. Mr. Bryan took for his text
the-Bible verse, "Muzzle not the mouth of
the ox that treadeth out the corn."
Advised to t'e the Ballot.
Mr. Bryan said:
"Each decade of our history shows great
er production of wealth and the men -who.
produce it have less to show for It. Is this
a good condition a right condition? The
solution of tho problems that confront us is
In legislation, hot In legislation for or
against classes, but for equal Justice before
law. The strike to-day Is the only weapon
the laborer has, but It is weak and inef
ficient. VI have heard that the true solution of. the
problem Is for the laboring man to divide
profits with the trust- That has been given
ns an argument for the trusts: Such a
thing would be immoral and impolitic It
would be like dividing the spoils of the
highwaymen. It would be permitting a man
to rifle -your pockets, and then offer to di
vide the proceeds', with. you.
"To-day the only people who sympathize
with you are the others who toil'ln-other
parts of the Lord's vineyard. In the pres
ent grent steel strike, where did the first
expression of sympathy come from? From
Texas. They have no steel mills there.
They are farmers. Tbey are tillers of' the
soil, 'and laborers like yourselves. I want
to-warn you to resist the overtures of the I
trust. Beware when corporations ask you
to Join them. The farmers can stand the
encroachments of the trusts longer than
you can. The farmers live off their farms.
Offer to Divide la a Pitfall.
"But when the farmer 'can no longer ;pay
trust prices, then there will be no more
demand for the products, of your toil. and
you" can make no-more wages. The' offer of
the trusts to divide with the laboring man
Is a pitfall. Can you trust the corporations
to" divide honestly? No. How many of
you would like to try a lawsuit when the
Judge on the bench Is the opposing party
to the' suit? There, are good Judges, good
juries, yet do you want Judges and Juries
to try "your cases when they are interested
In the outcome themselves? When you per
mit private monopoly to dictate terms of
division, then you place yourselves wholly
at 'their mercy. Tou allow them to water
their stock and then expect them to divide
with .labor- on a Just basis.
"You are witnessing a battle between
labor and the great Steel Trust. This trust
is willing to unionize some of Its mills, but
would have some .'others open to nonunion
lahAp - Whv? Because th trat nmt
some mills that It can depend-on in the'
event of' a strike. It. is an unequal strug-

REPUBLIC SPECIAL,
Newport. R. L. Sept. 2. The wide-opta
stretches of the Atlantic beyond the' mo
notonously swinging lightship off Brenton's
.Reef were caressed, with such summer
zephyrs to-day that the cup candidates,
the Constitution and the Colombia, failed
to finish in their second trial race Ins-tb
five and a half hours allotted, and the rec
ord in consequence stands "no race." -
With the expiration of the time the Co
lumbia was one-thIrd of a mile ahead ot
the Constitution., but the finish line' wag
more than two. miles away. Side lights,
and masthead L'ghts from the fleet that had
accompanied the rival racers were sending,
their warning gleams across the water
-when the yachto gave up the contest, and
anchorages in the harbor were made long
after 7 o'clock. -.
Columbia Set the Pace. Vj
Light, flukey airs ruled. In contrast frith
line sailing breezes of Saturday, aad so
long as there was life and vigor fai'ttha
wind the Columbia, once more, led the-, pew
.boat- The course was triangular and" the
first leg was to windward. In this -work
the older vessel destroyed the remaining
hopes lingering in the breasts of thetcon
stltution's admirers, as less than fivejmln
utes after the start-her .antagonist bad 'the
weather berth, and from that time to the
turning of the flrst mark outpointed and
outfooted her so that she had nearly five
minutes to her credit that never would
have been wrested from ner had not -the
fickle wind dropped to a breath, and from
that on given way to -'almost an. airless at
mosphere. n
HerreshosT Wanted Kore Wlna"".
The Constitution's party, again beaded by
her designer. Captain "Nat" Herreshoff,
and given more promlence than usual": by
the presence of Mr, Iselln, a member! of
the Challenge Committee, wanted a heroic
breeze. They sat on the quarter deck, of
.the" challenger and almost prayed for that.
There, have already been times, in thosea
sdn, when her" proud, pretensions have 'been
swallowed up In the clouds of triumphant
sprays thrown from the Columbia's bows
asshe passed over the winning lines to' vic
tory,. In the breeze, but that was no matter;
the Constitution wanted wind.'
Any Old Weather for Columbia.
With, the Columbia's folks-It did not mat
ter particularly. Blow high or blow low,
'she's of late done so well her representative
owner was' pretty sure that she could 'take
care of herself and no 'mistakes would-be
made. In other words, no' quarter was
asked from adversary or weather; and,
while the breeze lasted, the Constitution
was lost so to speak In the tussle. -
Toward the starting' the. harbor was alive
with motion and color. Private signals and
burgee -streamed and .'fluttered, from steam
and sailing yachts that "Went outside to "see
what the famous boats .would do, and Aaout.
the lightship' there was ' as an imposing
array of the' aristocracy of the sea as'! wit
nessed .'on an Astor Cup day." f.
