BACK FROM VISIT TO ROME
Rev. Thomas Moreschini Returns to
Chicago After Foreign Tour.

Chicago. Aug. Prev. Father Thomas
Moreschini of the Church of the Assump-
ton, arrived in Chicago yesterday from a
seven months visit to italy. This was
the fathers second vacation in the TWEEN
ty-StX years of his Chicago service.
The first visit was made ten years ago.
when, now, he visited his family in
Rome and the headquarters of his bro
therhood- Just before Easter on this
last visit the father was granted a private
audience with the pope and spent half an
hour in his chamber discussing the con-
dition of the American churches. The
pope spoke freely of the threa tened Span
iSh-American war, expressing earnest
hope that a peaceful settlement might be
reached when the Easter festivals were
over.
Father Moreschini left Rome to travel
through his native land. In Naples, in
Florence and in many of the larger cities
of Italy he gathered decorations for his
church in America. From Rome itself
he obtained life-siZe buSts of the patron
saints of the church, the four saints,
Buon6gliO, PellegrinO. Giul F'alcOneri and
Fill Benizi. The busts are of plaster, with
a covering of gold and silver leaf. Ma
pies is represented by a complete set of
bratiOn of the masses. The robes were
made by the sisters and are of quality
and workmanship as are seldom seen in
this country.
The bodies of the garments are of white
muslin, plated crOSsWiSe with odd de-
signs. From Florence there are embroid-
cred linens. and from still another city
busts will be set in their positions of
honor in the altar and the hangings
placed in time for the special masses of
st. Philips day.

Montauk Point, L L, Aug. 22-Col.
Teddy Roosevelt was released from
the detention camp and left Immediate
ly on receiving notification of his re-
lease, and the rough riders gave him a
rousing send-off. Roosevelt made a
Decline for the main camp of the rough
riders who came up several days ago
from Tampa. The men did not expect
him, and his appearance in camp caus-
ed the greatest excitement.
Every one of the men pressed around
him and cheered him again and again.
Roosevelt seized them by the hands,
and was shaken up considerably when
they finally released him. He made his
way to the center of the camp, and then
began a short address, welcoming the
men on behalf of the other rough riders
in the detention camp. He expressed
deep sympathy for them, because they
did not get the opportunity to display
their valOr on the field, but said they
had won as much real glory as their
more successful comrades by enduring
the hardships of camp life in Florida.
After associating with the men about
an hour. Col Roosevelt went to the no
tel and met two well known New York
politicians who came from the city to
consult him on the present political sit
uatiOn. The politicians got a cold re-
pointed. Col. Roosevelt impressed them
with the fact that he wore a soldiers
uniform and was in the government
service and not in the political arena.
He said he would stay with his men
until mustered out of service and not
until he wore citizens clothes would
he talk Of personal or political affairs.
The colonel was emphatic in his
speech and spoke with his characters
tic determination.
When I was citizen I was interest
ed in the affairs of the government,
politically, but I am no longer in the
field of politics." he said. Il may re-
turn to it in a few months, but while
am here am as much of a soldier as I
was at Santiago. am among soldiers
and will remain with them until we are
all returned to our families and social
friends. Then I may reassume my posi-
ton in the political field
Col. Roosevelt has a four days fur
Tough and left Saturday for Sag Har-
Dor, where his family is. He will re-
main with them until his furlOugh ex-
pires and will then return to the camp.
The colonel has met with wildly en-
thusiastic receptions in every quarter
of the camp. and his presence is gener-
ally made known wherever he is by the
demonstrations that follow his arrival
anywhere. The colonel was not per-
mitted to visit the rough riders in the
hospital although he was very anxious
to cheer up the sick men,

RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.

Chicago, Aug. PA special cable dis
patch to the Inter-Ocean from London
says:
1t has been a week of great but secret
activity in the European political world.
There has been no clear and decisive
development in the complex crisis
which includes the future of China and
of the Philippines, as we'll as the rela-
tions of the great powers to each other
in its manifold intricacies.
Great Britain has been making naval
and other preparations in the far East
and holding long conferences at the for
e1gn office which, in ordinary times,
would receive a bellicose Interpretation.
But, as a German critic rather con-
temptuouSly observed, Salisbury has
ratified the sword so often without I'M
Sheath1ng ii that nobody is in the least
alarmed by the maneuvers."
Nevertheless, the information comes
from source which must be accepted
without question to the effect that the
limit of British concession and retreat
has at last been reached. Any further
aggression by Russia in Asia will bring
war all along the line.
This announcement will be received
with incredulfty, even by Englishmen.
The feeling of the great majority of
Englishmen would be that it was too
good to be true. This feeling is indica-
tive of how sadly Salisbury has lost the
confidence Of those who politically have
always been his supporters.
1t may be said without qualification
that no arrangement or understanding
exists by which the United States will
cooperate with Great Britain in any
respect in the eventuality of a war over
far Eastern questions. The most that
Lord Salisbury expects, or has any rea-
son to expect, is that the United States
maintain the same attitude of benevo-
lent neutrality which Great Britain has
taken throughout the Spanish war.
1t would be a mistake, however to
say that war is imminent between
Great Britain and Russia, for it is be-
yond question that neither country ex-
poets or desires war. The danger is, and
it is a very serious danger, that war
will be precipitated by Russia's belief
that Great Britain is not in earnest and
that still further aggression is possible
without bringing rupture.
If, however, Russia knows the truth
about English public sentiment she will
stop short, for even if Lord Salisbury
was as hopeless1y weak as his enemies
represent him it would be impossible
for him to resist the popular demand
for retaliation which even a single step
further by Russian diplomacy would
provoke.

ALGER EXPLAINS BLUNDER
Secretary of War Says Soldiers Suf-

Chicago, Aug. 22-Dr. Wines, secre-
tary of the Illinois Army and Navy
league, has received the following tele-
gram from Secretary Alger, relating to
the twelve men of the First regiment
recently stranded at Port Tampa, hav-
ing been discharged on account of phys
zeal disability, and who were unable to
get transportation home for want of
the necessary papers. DR.. Wines at
the time telegraphed to the secretary of
war, stating the circumstances, and re-
quested that he would order the men
sent home at government expense in
spite of the irregularity of their papers,
which had gone to Cuba. To this tele-
gram he received no reply. On the 9Th
inst, he wrote to the secretary on an
other matter and mentioned the fact
that he had received no reply. The
reply follows:
Washington, D. c., Aug. 1s.-Yours of
the 9Th inst. relative to transportation
for soldiers of the First regiment in
fantry is received. There is no excuse
for stupid blunder of officers. Your
telegram was referred to the quarter
master general and I supposed that,
with hundreds of others, it would be
promptly taken care of, until received
your letter. I regret the neglect very
much indeed. r. A. ALGER,
