ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS.
The Candidate for Vice President Tells
About His st PauI's Speech Concerning
the Kansas City Platform.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Gov. Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay, L. L, yesterday gave
out for publication a letter which ne
had written on August to Gen. John
NJ. Palmer, of Springfield, Ill, rela-
tive to the ST. Paul speech made by
the governor in which he had been
quoted as making derogatory re-
marks concerning democrats. The
letter says in part: ''In my speech
I began by saying: we appeal not
only to republicans, but to all good
citizens who are Americans in fact
as we'll as in name, to help US in re-
eIecting President Mckinley [ ended
by saying: Study the Kansas City
platform and you cannot help realiz-
ing that their policy (the policy of
its makers and sponsors) is a policy
of infamy, that their triumph would
mean misery so widespread that it IS
almost unthinkable and a disgrace
so lasting that more than genera
ton would have to pass before it
could be wiped out.
81 hold up the policy advocated in
the Kansas City platform as a base
and cowardly policy, to emphasize
our right to appeal to the countless
thousands of high-minded democrats
who abhor baseness and cowardice
and are quick to see and disown
them -

TREES KILLED IN THE CITY.
Pavements Carry Away the Rain and
Leaking Gas POIsOns
the Roots.

Why is there such scarcity of trees
In the cities?
It certainly is true that few trees
grace our streets. The reason is that
they will not grow there. says Public
improvements.
The old trees which have lived for
half a century or more can receive
nourishment from the subsoil, because
their roots have reached the level of
standing water. These trees continue
to thrive until they are cut down or
die.
It really is impossible to. expect new
trees are going to take their places.
Our streets are paved with stone and
asphalt from curb to curb, and are
SO graded that storm water is carried
into the rivers. The sidewalks and
dooryards are tagged. so that the wa
ter is carried away into the sewers.
On Manhattan island the rain water
that penetrates into the soil does not
equal a rainfall of one-siXteenth of an
inch per annum. You can readily see
that young trees will not thrive under
such conditions.
Another serious condition against
which our city trees contend is the gas
leaking from the street mains. This
saturates the soil under the pavements.
There is something about illuminatin g
gas that proves fatal to plant life, and
it has been impossible to plant a tree
that will survive contact with it.
The odor which comes from the re-
moval of soil from a street opening is
not gas, but the naphtha enrichments
which make gas luminous: that is fl
tered out into the soil and held, allow
ing the hydrogen and carbon monoXide
to pass wherever there is a means of
escape. The soil being thus saturated
the trees cannot grow.

The st. Louis Fair Fund.

ST. Louis, Aug. 20.-Plans for the
resumption of work on the world s
fair fund of $5,OOO,OOO, which has been
so often and vexatiously interrupted,
are under daily consideration by Chair
men D. r. Francis and William H.
Thompson, of the two principal COM
mittees. Mr.. Francis expects to sail
for Paris about September IS and
hopes to have things in such shape by
that time that the fund will be prac-
tically complete. In fact, one reason
he delayed his departure was to as
sure himself that there would be no
hitch. The travelling men, who have
been among the active workers for
the fair, have asked permission to To-
cate their special building first.

INGALLS, INFERRED.
The Body of the Deceased Ex-senator Laid
to Rest Mount VernOa Gene
terry at AGchtsOn.

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 2O.-The fu-
neral of John James Ingalls, was held
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at
Trinity Episcopal church. The body
was inferred at Mount Vernon GEM
etery in an underground vault of
brick and cement. Owing to the re-
quest of the family for privacy, a re-
quest made in accordance with the
expressed wish of Mr.. Ingalls,, there
was not a great crowd at the funeral.
The church, which is small, was well
filed and few who were unable to
get seats stood in the rear during the
reading of the ritualistic service, but
the congregation was chiefly com
posed of lifelong friends of the ex-
senator and of state officials and col
leagues.

LITERARY TROUBLE IN INDIA.
Some Excitement Has Been Caused
by a Sudden Change in Official
Written Characters.

What many regard as an in ludiciOus
move at the present moment has just
been made by the British Indian gov
eminent in connection with the writ
ten characters in use in northwest In
dia for official purposes. The Moham-
medan invaders of India used the Per-
sian characters and imposed the sys-
tenn on the country for all official pur-
poses, with the result that it has De-
come largely used by all classes and
for all purposes. The character gen.
orally employed by the Hindoos for pri-
vate business and religious purposes is
the Nagri, says the New York Sun.
The sudden and unexpected change
has produced a great ferment among
the MohammedansO of upper India, who,
not being usually acquainted. with
Nagri, believe they see in it the first
step toward turning them out of Of
fetal employment. The question has
also a religious aspect to them, as it
appears to them to be a triumph for a
rival religion. Already, it is said in
India, it is being put about that the
object of the British government in
making this radical change is to break
up the combination that has recently
been formed between Mussulmans and
Hindoos against the administration of
the plague regulations by introducing
a cause of discord between them.
There probably is nothing in this
suggestion, but that it has been made
at all is a sign of the danger of MAX
ing important changes at a time when
the masses are greatly excited, and ex-
ternal circumstances require that in
ternal tranquility should reign in In
