KIRMEr ROOSEVELT.
The Presidents Bov, Enters the
Public Schools I'm Washington.

WASHINGTON, September, u.s.
President Roosevelt has set an
example to the parents of the land
by sending his boy, Kirmet, to a
public school. Just like any other
healthy American boy, the little son
of the President went whistling
from the White House Yesterday,
mounted his bicycle and with his
brand new books under his arm
went whirling off to his lessons.
Arrangements had been made yes
terday for his entrance at the Force
School.
This school is on Massachusetts
avenue, in the neighborhood of the
homes of four of the cabinet officers
and exactly opposite the residence
of Wayne MacVeagh. 1t was into
crowd of little boys and girls who
were pressing for admittance that
Kirmet threw himself. His new
ness was noticed and he was at
once Piled with many juvenile ques-
tions.
WHATS YOUR NAME?"
whats your name2" demanded
youngster who lowered three
inches above him and whose sleeves
showed a repugnance to associating
with his wrists. Kirmet looked
him over from head to foot and
then said, with a shade of defiance:
whats yolrs?"
Jimmy Wright" affably added
the other who was only DESTROYS of
being companionable.
"Well, then, said the Presidents
son, slowly, "my name is Kirmet
Roosevelt"
"Wow" exclaimed Jimmy. "Say,
fellers, here's kid that says his
names Roosevelt. Amt it Joke?
Suppose you're some relation to
Teddy All the guys around here
now are telling how they know
Teddy or some one who knows him.
'Reddy' Gallakher, up there near
the door, says his mother used to
wash for Mrs. Roosevelt, and he's
stuck on it,"

House child with dignity. "My
name is Kirmet Roosevelt, and
that's enough, isn't it?"
"Sqre, Mike" said Jimmy, 'tust
so you do no rough riding and
shooting Spaniards around here. %

Then comes the Collectorship of
the port of New York to worry the
Executive. The late President re-
elected George r. Bidwell. For
fear that Mr.. Roosevelt may select
another beneficiary, Messrs. Plat,
Woodruff and Quigg have become
most uncomfortable. Inasmuch as
they were partially influential in
forcing the present Chief Magistrate
into the second place on the Repub-
lican national ticket, with a view to
sidetracking him as Presidential
possibility, they now fear retalia-
ton. 1t is said that they have sent
whole detachment of messengers
to the Capital, each generously
supplied with olive branches and
carrying a message to the effect
that 1t would please them greatly to
have the Ratchet permanently in
TERED. There will be a nervous
galaxy of Republican leaders in the
Empire State for some time to
come. 1t is reported that the Pres
ident received the floral tributes
and the messengers of good will
with great courtesy, but that he
failed to indicate his position in the
momentous matter.

The Whole Country With Admiral
Schley In His Trial For Justice.
From our REGULAR eorresponasn..

From our regular correspondent
WAsHINCToN, Sept, 80, IooI.-
Theodore Roosevelt had scarcely
seated himself in the Presidential
chair before he was besieged by
men who devote large share of
their time to seeking Offices for
their friends and adherents. Close
upon the heels of congratulations
and pledges of hearty support have
come opportunities for the designa-
ton of this or that man for this or
that position in the public service.
And, though he has not yet been
Chief Magistrate for two weeks,
Mr.. Roosevelt finds that questions
OF policy are accommodating alta rate
that promises to make them noun
famous by the time Congress is
ready to begin its season of legis-
lation.

One of the leading problems will
involve the Philadelphia postmaster
ship. Both Senators Quay and
Penrose are said to be unalterably
opposed to the present incumbent,
Mr.. Hicks. AS Senator Penrose
has already presented his card at
the White House and had an audi
ence with the President, it is pre-
sumed in political circles that he
made known both his opposition to
Mr.. Hicks and his nomination of a
successor. The present Quaker
City postmaster has administered
his Office in an eminently satisfac-
tory way, but this is a minor con-
sideration in the opinion of some of
the Republican leaders of the Key
stone commonwealth, for they
contend that Senatorial courtesy
gives them the inalienable right to
name another man when the term
OF the present official has expired.
Even the Postmaster General admits
that the Philadelphia Office has
been raised to the highest state of
efficiency by Mr.. Hicks, but when
the combined efforts of the Sena-
torial representative of the state are
put forward to decapitate the in
cumbent and when it is considered
that the approval of the Senate is
necessary TO confirm a candidate,
1t looks as though even a strenuous
man would have to yield to the
pressure.

The acknowledgment of a Navy

popular admiral. The counsel tor
the victor of Santiago succeeded in
scoring another bulleye yesterday
when they forced into evidence a
message from Sampson, instructing
Schley to remain at Cienfuegos dur
ing the blockade and TO ignore the
orders of the Navy Department if
interfered with necessary operations.
Schley's attorneys base their case
largely upon this. and believe that
in itself it is sufficient to prove that
