DEDICATION OF
AMERICAN EXPOSITI
A Great Day Yesterday at Buffalo Congratulations From
President McKinley Speeches by Roosevelt, Lodg
and Woodruff.
Buffalo, May 20. Lowering clouds
that threatened rain and a wind that
blew in flhful gusts marked the opening
hours of dedication day at the Pan
American exposition.
Senators Lodge and Hanna were
early arrivals at the city hall while
Vice-President Roosevelt and Presi
dent Milburn did not arrive until late.
The parade moved .off at 1.0:10, a
squad of mounted police clearing the
way. State troop led, followed by
United (States artillerymen. The Mexi
can contingent followed and after them
were more militiamen. Vice President
Roosevelt viewed the column from a
carriage at the entrance to the city
nail dr'veway.
The following telegram' of congratu-
lati"n was read hy President Milburn
c the dedication exercises:
"I send you greetings from the shore
of the Pacific with fervent prayers
for the benediction of heaven Upon
this beneficent enterprise, (with sin
cere congratulations to all those whose
energy and devotion have brought It to
pass, ana witn nearxreix welcome 10

to whom we wish continued and abun
dant prosperity. May there foe no
cloud upon this grand' festival of
peace and commerce, nor of rivalry ex
cept that generous competition in use
ful arts and industries which bene
fits all. I earnestly hope that this
great exhibition may prove a blearing
to every country of this hemisphere
and that even of the world at large
profit by the progress which we give
proof, by the lesson of our efforts and
their results. I trust that it may be
come evident before this exhibition
closes that our vast and increasing
prosperity is fruitful of nothing but
good to our elders In brotherhood of
nations and that our onward march
may forever exemplify .the divine sen
timent of 'Peace oh. earth and'good will;-
to men,.' ,

"The dominant note of every great
exposition like this now spread before
us is novelty.
"And yet the newest of all new
things, this latest of expositions, is in
reality but the continuance of one of
the most ancient of human customs.
Long before history was written, a
soon indeed as men began to exercise
that most primitive of instincts, the
desire for trade and barter, they un
doubtedly learned to gather together
at set times and fixed places for this
purpose. Those gatherings with which
we are familiar, the town or county
fairs of our own time, are direct de
scendents of the fairs which sprang up
in western Europe aiZter the fall of the
Roman Empire, date back to the fifth
century of our era. Their origin was in
the feasts of the church-. A saint's day
was always chosen for these pious pur
poses and the crowds which came to
pray remained to hold a fair and to
trade in the intervals of the religious
exercise.
"In the last half century the fair has
taken on a new form characteristic of
the period. At irregular intervals, in
the great capitals and large cities in
Europe and America, fairs have been
held so much larger and. more splendid
than any thing which had gone ibefore
that a new name became necessary and
we have called them expositions.
These great expositions take on deep
importance and come to deserve
thought, consideration and! serious ex
planation oply when lessons are to be
drawn from the event which is to Ibe
commemorated or when (behind! ,the
barter and the sale, the show-case and
the pageant, there lies a purpose which
touches the fortunes of nations arid
helps to shape great policies of state.
"This Buffalo Exposition has been
called Pan-American. It aims to (bring

together all the peoples and States of
this American hemisphere, not merely
that their trade with each other' may
be increased but that their mutual re
lations may be closer drawn and better
understood. Here indeed is a igreat
purpose worthy of much consideration
here indeed is represented a natiol
policy which for many year has never
been absent from the minds of the peo
pie of the United States, 'but which has
been too much neglected and too often
pushed aside by the pressure of otijer
interests . When at the "beginning bf
the last century the United States fef
Central and South America threw off
the yoke of Spain public men who f
sired to draw closer our relations with
the new born republics of the south
were not wanting in the United (States.
All the (people of this western hemlif
phere, whether they spoke English iff'
Spanish then for the first time fbecanie
conscious of the solidarity of Amerlcsfcn
interests and realized that the New
World must have her own policy anil
her own balance of power andi not
those of Europe. Out of that consci
ousness sprang the Monroe Doctrine,
which carried with it protection against
Europe td the smaller American States.
We earnestly hope that you wail
unite with us in the support of what Ni
believe to be the true policy for Amer
ica, both North and South. That pol
icy is expressed In the Monroe Doctriney
and carries with it also ..the purpose of
drawing close the bonds between tlfe
two continents and extending the be-;

Washington, May 20. The climax in
the Ayers murder mystery was reached
late this afternoon when Mrs. Lola Bo
nine, the woman toward whom suspi
cion had been directed broke down and
confessed that Ayers had Ibeen killed in
a struggle with herself.
Mrs. Conine was awaiting in the
Sixth precinct station to be summoned
before the coroner's jury, in session on
another floor, when she sent for De
tective Home and said she wanted to
confess. District Attorney Gould was
informed and adjourned the inquest.
Mrs. Bonine was then taken to the
police headquarters where she told
calmly her connection with the killing.
She said she and Ayers had been
friends until shortly before March 4,
when they quarreled, and until the
evening of the tragedy they had not
spoken.
That evening after a chat with Ayers
she retired and had been asleep some
time when Ay-res knocked at her door.
He was only partly dressed. He com
plained of having a chill and asked for
some quinine. She made an ineffectual
search. When she said she could not
find any he threw his arm familiarly
over her shoulder and said: "Well,
come over to my room and we will talk
over our difficulties." She assented ibut
told! Ayres to go to his room until she
dressed. Then she slipped on a wrap
per and followed. As she stepped into
his room kAyres closed the door and
drew the bolt. Ayres had removed all
his clothing but his undershirt and held
a revolver in his right hand. He made
an Insulting proposition and when she
grew frightened and ran toward the
open window, ,he threw his left arm
about her, and held the revolver before
her face and cried: "Now will yon lis
ten to me."
.From that time on, Mrs. Bonine said
her memory was blurr. IShe remem
bered clutching the pistol and hearing
the eound of a shot and feeling the
warmth of bkoxl upon her hands. In
the further struggle she managed to
clutch the revolver with bothr hands.
It discharged, she thought, two or three
times, and then she fell to the floor,
locked in Ayres' emfbrace, blood! (from

New York, May 20. The North Caro
lina (Society of New York held its sec
ond annual banquet in the Waldorf As
toria this evening, and it was one of
the most spirited aJnid "interesting of
all the state society reunions heM this
rwinter.
Judge Augustus A. Van Wyck pre
sided and at his right hand sat Gov
ernor Aycock who had been specially
invited . Judge Van Wick in introducing
the first speaker of the evening, Gov
ernor Aycock, made a long and patriotic
address which was received (With much
etmthusiasm. Judge Van Wyck's address
was in part as .follows:
Carolinians, I salute you in the name
of a great race reared in the beautiful
land sloping from the dizzy heights of
the iBlue Ridge to the storm-washed
shores of the Atlantic, from Mitchell' a
peak to Cape Hatteras, furnishing men
off varied mental and physical habits
and every variety of mineral and agri
cultural product; a race composed of
Irish, Scotch, Scotch-Irish, English,
Swiss, German, Dutch and French;
Catholics, Presbyterians, Moravians,
Lutherans, Huguenots and Quakers; a
race nay nature and such environments,
lovers and maintainers of civil and re
ligious liberty; a race which first en
joyed on this continent a chartered gov
ernment that guaranteed religious free
dom and no taxation except by consent
of the people: a race who, in 1766. sue
cessfully resisted by force the English
stamp act; a race who, in 1771, resisted
with open war and rebellion the op

She extracted herself and terror strick

fear of consequences seized her and
she descended toy the fire escape to the
second floor and from thence gained her
room.
She said she would have confessed
before but feared that misconceptions
might be placed upon her conduct in
visiting Ayres' room and the stigma
that would be cast upon her honor as
a wife and mother.
The police are not inclined to give
entire credence to the story and will
investigate. The woman was taken to
the house of detention. Tomorrow at
the inquest Home will tell the jury of
her confession and 'she then will be

HIKE OF THE INTER
NATIONAL
Indications Are That by Tomorrow the
Practically Adjusted--Already Many
Signed Agreements Granting Demands of the
Association.
Washington, May 20. President
O'Connell of the International Associa
tion of Machinists this evening gave
out the following:
'From reports received today indica
tions are that a speedy adjustment of
the controversy over the question of a
reduction of hours without reduction
of wages will be reached. From nearly
every section of the country reports are
coming in that agreements have been
signed affecting a very large proportion
of the men. I am of the opinion that
by Wednesday 75 per cent, of the firms
will have made settlements. In a few
cities the strike may 'be prolonged sev
eral days but I am confident the whole
trouble will be satisfactorily settled in
ten days or two weeks."
After explaining the demands and de
fending the machinists' course O'Con
nell concluded: "Up to 5 o'clock reoorts
show that 905 firms have signed agree
ments or made satisfactory arrane-e-
w 0
ments with our local organizations.
The number employed by these firms is
approximately 30,000.
Washington, May 20. The general
strike of employes in machinery and
allied metal trades throughout the
country to enforce the nine hour day
with an increase of wages to meet the
reduction in hours of labor took effect
today. Tteports received! by President
O'Connell of the National association
of Machinists and other officials who
are in the city indicate that a large
number of establishments heretofore
holding out against the demands of the
men were making the necessary con
cessions. Mr. O'Connell said it was too early
to make any estimate of the number
of men out.
At Cincinnati the indications are that
all men are out. This is one of
the points where the most difficulty in
settlement has been apprehended.
