tho city. at 10 o'clock, from Oyster Bay.
and $50 o'clock. when he left the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to go to dinner. Col. Roose-
welt was accompanied TO the city by Douglas
Robinson. his brother-in-law, They parted
company on the New York side OF the
Thirty fourth street ferry. and Col. Roose-
welt went at once to the ofice OF Elihu
Root. Mr.. Root put on his overcoat and
went with Col. Roosevelt to Joseph H.
Choate's Office. They got to Mr.. Choate's office
nearly an hour before Mr.. Choate arrived. &C.
Benman. John Proctor Clarke and Frank Moss
were at Mr.. Choate's of1co, and Col. Roosevelt
talked with them until Mr.. Choate arrived.
When he cnme they were all together until
12:15. They talked about the political
situation in the State and in this city. Col.
Roosevelt has said that he wants to see mon
with ideas as to how the condition OF the peo-
pie in the State and city can be bettered. and
that all his conferences will have this object In

He went from Mr. Choate's ONCE to that Of
his cousin. W. Emlen Roosevelt, at 80 Wall
street. where he met Frederick d. Tappen.
President Of the Gallatin National Bank; Mer-
rift Trimble OF the Bank for Savings and J.

about the sentiment among bankers In regard
to Banking Superintendent Frederick d. Kill
burn. whose term expires in 1000. 1t was said
last night that Mr.. Kilburn's chances Of re-
appointment were good. This was entirely
unoflcial. for all the gentlemen who took part
in the conference refused to say anything
