GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT DEPARTS
After S long Talk With the Presi-
dent He Leaves for New York.

0SEis IKE LesSfes Tor New York
uofee4ter roosevelt Of New York, who
was il the city last night as the guest of
President Mckinley at the White House,
returned to the metropolis an the 10 80
O'Clock train this morning
The little visit was planned to give the
two candidates chance TO discuss the
coming campaign. and TO that business
they devoted themselves. 1t was the Gov
eTnoT's .irst visit to the White House
since his nomination in June. He arrived
at 610 O'Clock last evening and was met
at the station By Secretary Cortelyou. who
escorted him at once TO the Executive
Mansion.
The President and Mrs Mckinley had ar,
ranged little dinner in his honor and the
guests were Secretary and Mrs Gage. Sec
retafies Wilson and Hitchcock, Postmas-
ter General Smith, and General Corbin- All
CT them left early, however, and the two
nominees were undisturbed. They were
in conference together in the Cabinet room.
until well after midnight In tat time
the whole campaign was discussed and
particular attention was paid TO the part
which the Rough Rider" will take in 1t
as the spokesman of Mr. Mckinley. It
was agreed that the programme of speech
making previously arranged by the Repub-
Hcan campaign committee should be fol-
lowed, and that Governor Roosevelt should
be most active in addressing the voters.
The President and the Governor held
another conference this morning before
the departure of the latter from the White
House at 9:45 O'Clock TO catch his train
for New York. At the conclusion OF the
talk. the Governor announced to the news
paper men that ne had gone over the is
sues Of the campaign thoroughly with Mr..
Mckinley and had found himself entirely
in accord with his chief. He added that
his plans included considerable speech
making.
Comptroller Dawes saw the two for a
little while last night. and Commander
Cowies, brofher-in-Iaw of Governor
Roosevelt, visited him for a moment this
morning The only other caller TO be re-
ceived was PeEcival Gassett a Boston
man who served in the Rough Riders
The Governor seemed mos happy at meet
ing his old subordinate, and introduced
him to the President

MARsHALs MUST BE BRAVE.
Cannot Charge Mileage for Long
Jomrneys 10 void Trouble.

Cannot Charge Mileage for Long
Journeys TO Avoid Trouble.
Comptroller TraceweH of the Treasury
Department, in disalIowing the mileage
claims OF a United States Marshal in West
Virginia. has given a scorching TO the
Federal officers, whose fear of trouble with
moonshiners has led them TO sneak with
their prisoners through the country.
The decision was in connection with the
mileage account of S Brown Allen, Fed
eral marshal for the Western district of
Virginia Mr. Browns deputies had oc-
casion to take prisoners through the bad
lands of Virginia, but instead OF using the
shortest route. as required by law, they
made long detour and charged for mil
cage accordingly The defence was that
the short route went through the famous
Shooting Greek country, where moonshin-
ers made il almost impossible for deputies
10 convey prisoners in safety. Comptroller
TracewelI rejected their claims for mileage
over the longer route, and in his ruling he
said:
While the practieability of route to be
Travelled in the transportation Of prison
erS may be determined by physical facts
such as the impossibility Of travelling be
cause OF high water OF other natural OBJ
structions IN rough or mountainous
couutFy, II IS my opinion that the charac-
ter OF the difficulties obstructions or dan
gers likely to be met with as presented by
the marshal in this case is not such as
would justify departure from the plain
provision of the law
The Government cannot afford even in
directly 10 encourage by a show OF fear a
resistance of its processes by a few igno-
rant and vicious InouBtaiBeers known 10
lnfest the region in question II is TO be
understood by them and all others that
the Federal Government in making ar
rests for violations of its laws. will make
them and execute them and not violate its
own laws as regards the mileage of its Off
GERS. for fear of these outlaws The Gov
eminent is perfectly able TO cope with
these lawbreakeTs and lawdefiers and will
furnish its officers all necessary assistance
10 enforce its precepts according TO its own
methods. 1t is not its method TO sneak its
prisoners through out Of the way places in
order TO avoid those persons who seek TO
dr.y and nullify its mandates.
IF your deputies are afraid to enforce
the law by arTesting and conveying pris-
oners for examination or trial before the
officers provided by law. you should en-
deavor TO secure those who are not so
afraid and you will be furnished by the
Government every facility that may be nee
essary to accomplish this result

viii end in war
The War Department discredits the re-
port Of the death of Captain Reilly, of the
Fifth Artillery, and believes the gallant
artillery leader to be safe.
Minister Wa called at the State Depart
ment today and presented to Acting Sec
retary Adee copies of TWO eablegrams ad-
dressed to this Government The messages
were signed by the viceroys of the prov
inces Of Nankin and Wa Chang. and reas-
sured the American officials that they

the same Viceroys who demanded a few
days ago that the persons of the Empress
Dowager and the Emperor he held saer, d
and rot harmed.
Mr.. Wu stated that these were the only
messages he had received from China, but
that he expected something from Pekin
within few days.
General Greedy, Chief OF the Signal
Corps, stated today that communication
had been established between Pekin and
Taku, and that news ought to come through
regularly in future. There will be a slight
delay in getting matter to Chefoo by dz-
spateh boats, but line is established from
Taku to the capital
