ception of Attorney General Knox, who
is absent from the city
The President addressed the Cabinet.rei
erating-in the main his former statements
| made in Buffalo upon taking the oath of
office and at the Cabinet meeting held
last Tuesday at the residence of Com
mander Cowles, that 1t was his pur-
pose to take up the work where his pre-
decessor had left ii and to continue in the
line of President McKinley's policy as
developed during the past four years He
said that he was grateful that the faith
full counselors OF his predecessor had con-
sented to retain their portfolios. He be
lieved that this was DONE he said, at some
personal sacrifice by several of them, and
he warmly expressed his pleasure that
they had patriotically agreed to continue
at the head of their several departments.
The President said he desired to be in
formed of the exact status of affairs in
the several departments. and he made
special request for enlightenment upon
matters pertaining to the Philippines,
Cuba, and the national finances. Each
member of the Cabinet briefly reported
the condition of affairs In his department.
especially those of recent development,
with which the President was, of course,
not familiar, although he is well inform
ed as to general matters. The statement
of each member showed a favorable sit
uation in the several branches of the
Government.
Secretary Gage made special mention of
the fact that although the internal reve-
nue. receipts had been diminished Si0.0OO.O00
annually by the abolition of certain fea-
lures of the war tax, the Government re-
ceipts were nevertheless ample for all re-
quirements.
A considerable portion of the time the
Cabinet was in session was devoted to
discussion of affairs in Cuba. Secretary
Roet said that General Wood had report
ed that the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
ton had enacted an election law This
measure was in general terms laid before
the Cabinet meeting. but the text OF 1t
was not presented. 1t provides for cleo
tions at different times throughout the
year. which it is feared viii embroil the
electorate of the island in a continuous
political campaign each year THIS is

of the act 1t is expected that 1t Will be
simplified later.
decided upon, and it is anticipated that
there will be some change which Will pro-
vide for all general elections on the same
day.
1t is not within. the province of the
Cabinet to interfere in this matter any
further than to make suggestions through
General Wood. as In accepting the terms
of the Platt amendment the CubanS did
all that this Government required. In
ternal affairs are to be left to their own
management
The convention is now practically ready
to adjourn sine die and viii probably do

ASKED FOR THE cowLEs HOME.
A Strangers Further Questions
Cause n Reporf to the Police.

A report current yesterday of a strang-
er, having the appearance of foreigner,
and supposedly seeking the residence of
Commander w S. Cowles. of the navy,
where President Roosevelt is temporarily
making his home, has led the police to
take extra precautions to guard the
premises and -secuEe the safey of the
Chief Magistrate. A story told by James
Young, OF 1852 Madison Street northwest,
and said to have been repeated by another
citizen, to the effect that the foreigner
in question had met him and asked re-
garding the home of Commander Cowles,
together with certain suspicious circum-
stances related by Young, leads the police
to believe that possibly most unwelcome
character may haze slipped into the city.
If such is the case. the stranger will
find the police on tie alert, and may be
arrested. The story of Young as told
Policeman Collins. of the Third precinct
station, late Thursday night, Is that he
met the foreigner while going home, and
was stopped and questioned at some
length by the latter. The stranger want
ed to know where Commander cowiss
lived and how TO get there. lie said he
had thermometers to sell, and under his
arm he carried a suspicious looking L1x.
covered with. black leather about sighf
inches long and four inches wide. 30 per-
sistentr seemed the stranger that Young
became suspicious. and shortly afterward
he informed the police. Sergeant Sulli-
van soon heard OF the case. and "a couple
of policemen were detailed To watch the
Cowles residence through the remainder
of the night. ,..tt.....l
Early yesterday morning the detective
bureau was informed OF the incident and
in a general way precautions were taken
against possible surprise. The descrip-
ton of the foreigner was sent to the va
rious precincts. The detectives themselves
particular anxiety was occasioned, how
ever, owing to the fact that similar re-
ports have been received at intervals both

The foreigner. as described by Young,
speaks English imperfectly. is about five
feet eight inches tall. has light mus
tache, and high cheek bones. He wore

PRESIDENT WALKS ALONE.
Thinks Guards Have Never Really
Warded OF Assussins.

The fact that. President Roosevelt
walked from the White House
to the residence of Secretary Hay at
lunch time and also to the Cowles' resi-
dence at the close of his work yesterday
alone and apparently unmatched by pc
licemen or Secret Service agents has
caused widespread comment The act
serves as an object lesson touching the
new Presidents attitude on the much dis
cussed question of the wisdom and ef-
ficiency of guards about the person of the
President
Plainly President Roosevelt does not
feel the need of any other protection than
Citizen Theodore Roosevelt had. and does
not mean TO have it. The President is
not led to this determination by spirit
of bravado BIZ. because he knows that
guards never nave succeeded and never
will succeed in staying the hand of an
anarchist assassin. President Roosevelt
will take all precautions suggested by
prudence and a proper regard for the i'm
portance and dignity of his office, but he
will not be surrounded by guards. Neither
will he he reckless
To put IL in nutshell, President Roose-
welt is evidently prepared to defend him
self from threatened danger when going
about his ordinary pursuits. He TN
doubtedly feels jistifed in announcing
that IL a man offers to attack him the as
sailant will be the more to be pitied rather
than his intended victim.

Mass of CoIors-The Official Greet
ing Extended by Sir Wilfrid
Lnurier-Detcctfyes in Evidence.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2o.-The Duke OF
Cornwall and York took the Canadian
capital by storm today and Ottawa was
equal to the oc casion. The welcome was
as hearty as re salty could desire and the
people delighted to honor the heir ap-
parent to the throne.
Forty thousand persons came to the city
today to see the duke and duchess. The
streets were like rainbows in the day
time and at night the illuminations rival
ed those at the Pan-American Exposition.
The royal train arrived at noon from
Montreal at a special station, built to re-
sceive the duke and duchess. The Gov
ernor General was at the station to give
the official welcome and then, through
lines of troops. the royal procession
traversed several of the principal streets.
All along the route the cheering was
hearty.
When the royal procession came to the
Parliament Building the duke and duch-
ess were welcomed by the Premier. Sir
Wilfrid l>aurier, members of"the Domin-
ion Cabinet, and the mayor of the city.
Addresses of welcome were presented
from the cities of Ottawa. and Hull, and
from the towns in ottawa Valley, and
also from the boards Of trade and national
societies. .-6.-,
While the precautions taken to guard
the duke were net evident to the general
observer, it was noticed that near him at
all times were many leading Canadian de-
tectives. while secret service men mingled
freely with the crowd.
Every man who ieveled a camera at the
duke was closely watched. The leaders
of the secret service Wore gold shields on
their frock coats and they stood nearest
the duke. Even when the civic deputa-
tions were gathered at the foot of the roy
al pavilion to hear the dukes reply to
the welcome. the secret service men were
in the front rank, and anyone who en-
deayored to approach too closely to the
heir apparent to the throne was quickly
moved back. Military surrounded the
pavilion and on the outside were the
school children carrying flags. e
After the address. the royal procession
reformed and proceeded to Pideu Hall.
This afternoon the duke and duchess and
escort attended championship lacrosse
match at Varsity Oval.
Tomorrow the duke win drive through
Huh and then return to Ottawa to unveiI
a statue of the late Queen Victoria. After
ward he will present the medals won by
the Ottawa men who went to South Afrf-
ca. and in the afternoon garden party

In the last issue of Treasury Decis-

interpretations OF the customs, internal
revenue and immigration laws, and issued

Secretary Gage publishes the following
notice Of President McKinley's DEATH en-

STRUCK BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.
A Brickmaker Dies From Injuries
Received in Virginia.

Ernest Adair. aged twenty-nine years,
who lived with his uncle, James Hallman,
at 423 Eleventh Street southwest, was
struck by a freight train of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad near Brick Haven, two
miles south of the Long Bridge, last night.
and died on his way to the Emergency
Hospital In this city. Undertaken Mitchell
has taken charge of the body, which will
be shipped tonight to Wilmington, DEL.
for burial.
Both Adair and his uncle, Hallman,
worked at the brick yards across the
river near Brick Haven Yesterday, as
usual. the men went to work, and re-
mained in Virginia all day. At o'clock
they quit work, and started to leave the
yards together, to return to this city. A
fence separates the railroad tracks from
the premises of the brick company, and
running beside this fence is a sidetrack.
where several freight cars were standing.
These obstructed the view of the main
tracks from the South. so that Adair did
not notice a long fast freight train coming
along He was struck and hurled some
distance from the track.
Hailman went to his assistance when
the train had passed, and found his
nephew terribly mangled and apparently
dying He summoned other workmen
from the brick plant, and Adair was re-
moved to the station of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway,
near by where he was placed aboard
train for this city.
ON his arrival here. Adair was appar
emily already dead. but he was taken to
the Emergency Hospital. 1t was found
that he had expired before the institu-
ton was reached. Coroner hewitt was ac-
cordingly notified. and gave certificate
of accidental death. Later Hallman Wis
tied the hospital to make funeral arrange
ments. He sent word at a late hour to
the parents of the dead man, at Whining
ton, of the accident
Hallman stated last night that Adair
was single, and had been in this city
some time. stopping at his home He said
his nephew had been employed as a
burner at the brick plant. The authorities
of Alexandria County were notified of the

to Remit to His Firm.

Detectives Baur and Muller took into
custody last night Robert o. Edmouston,
a salesman. employed by Frank NJ. Wood

street, New York. A charge of embez-
element is preferred against him The
shortage charged is 500, which he is said
to have collected and failed to turn over
to the firm. Frank II. Fromm. an en-
ploye of the concern. came here yesterday

man.
It appears that Edmonston. as agent
for the firm In this city, had a quantity of
goods sent here. supposedly to fill GER
tain orders from customers of the con-
Germ. What became of these goods is not
quite clear. but Fromm tells the police
that Edmonston did not remit any money
for them. When Fromm secured a war
