OF the many hymns written by Mrs.

President Roosevelt has done nothing
thus far, except to express his determination
to carry out, in general way, the policy
OF President Mckinley. In fact, the chances
are that he has not had time to think of
much else. lie Is a man who usually thinks
OF but one thing at a time, aud all the indi-
cations are that he is very deeply moved by
! the recent tragedy, and that his plans for
the Immediate future have not vet been
/ formed. There are some predictions, how
ever which arc even now made, based on
/ promises and intentions nscfbcd tn him in
the past. For example, 1t has been stated
that for long time ago there was an under.
standing between him aud Senator Lodge
that the latter should have the position of
Secretary of State in the event of Roose-
velts's becoming President On the strength
OF this IL was positively asserted that Hay
would resign. But it now appears that
Lodge does not want the State portfolio, or
at least he would rather have the Chairman

work OF the Senate is done in the Committee
