THE DELAWARE SITUATION


Washington at 1890 this morning, and a
few minutes later the Presidents carriages,
containing himself, his daughter Miss Alice
Roosevelt. Commander CowIes and Secre-
tary Cortelyou, reached the White House.
The special train of two private cars,
the Lucania and the Princeton, pulled into
the Pennsylvania station just ahead of the
Federal express, of which it constituted the
first section. A squad of police and detec-
tives and Chief Wilkie Of the secret service,
with several of his officers, guarded the ap-
proaches. The President had breakfasted
early and was in excellent spirits. AS he
walked briskly down the long platform he
smilingly acknowledged the greetings of
the railroad employees. When he reached
the engine that had pulled the train from
Philadelphia he reached up his hand to the
engineer and fireman and bade them good
bye.
Il wanted he said to them, "to get out
on the engine this morning. but 1 didn't
know whether I would be permitted to.
Now. next time I take a trip 1 want to
ride on the engine"
The President was dressed in a dark gray
suit and overcoat. and wore a soft black
hat. Miss Alice Roosevelt, who enters the
White House for the first time since her
father became President, wore red trav-
a black feather-trimmed hat.
The Presidents eldest daughter is some
what tall and slender. She has dark hair
and eyes and the expression of her counte-
nance is that of intelligence and good ma
ture.
She was assisted from the carriage this
morning by her father and proceeded with
him without delay to the private apart
ments Of the executive mansion. Her bag
gage, which arrived few minutes later.
clearly indicated that she was a person of
original ideas. 1t consisted of three wooden
trunks, one was about twenty inches
square, another slightly larger and of the
same style and third still larger. All
bore the marks of travel, and on account
of their peculiar size and shape bespoke in
dependence of conventionaiity.
The Return Trip.
1t was announced that the journey home
had been without incident. Small crowds
gathered at several points along the line
from New Haven and cheered the train as
it passed. Only the necessary stops Were
made and the President spent the time
quietly within the car.
The party was Joined by Secretary Hay
and Col. Theodore A. Bingham at New
member of the Rough Riders, was also a
member of the party, and will be guest
of the President at the White House.
All the Cabinet Here.
With the return of Secretaries Hay and
Root, all of the members of the Presidents
cabinet are in the city, and the regular
cabinet meeting tomorrow will be notable
the first at which all Of the members
will be present.
Secretary Long called to pay his respects
to the President this morning shortly after
his arrival. He remained but a short time
AS the announcement had been made that
the President would not be accessible to
callers for the remainder of the week, the
were not made.
The President went to his office shortly
after his arrival and remained there until
lunch time with Secretary Corteyou and
Assistant Secretary Barns clearing up the
accumulated work.

Sole Representative of Delaware.
Representative Ball, who is representa-
tive-elect from Delaware, saw the Presi-
dent. The Delaware senatorial situation Is
one in which the President is greatly inter-
ested, and although Mr.. Ball was reticent
IN stating the purport of his call, he ad-
mitted the keen interest which President
Roosevelt was taking in the matter.
Owing to the deadlock in the Delaware
legislature, which has remained unbroken
for nearly two years, no United States SEN
ator can be elected.
A successor to Senator Gray has never
been seated, and the term of Senator Ken
ney expired March last This leaves Mr.
Ball as the sole representative of the state
in Congress, and incidentally places the
matter of patronage in very interesting
situation.
One Of the most lucrative federal offices
in the state, that of collector of the port at
fnr
time
There are several candidates for the
places but the fight, it is understood, has
narrowed down to the claims Of Robert q.
Houston and Daniel Barnard. The former
is being backed by Representative Bell,
while the latter is the candidate of Mr..
Maddox. Mr.. Bell said he could not eluci-
date the Delaware situation, that it seemed
to be impossible for the people of Delaware
to do that task.
