Two SENATOR'S CALL
ON THE PRESIDENT
Mr.. Platt of Connecticut
Talks of Coming Tour.
Senator Stewart of Nevada Also One
of the Guests at Luncheon at
Sycamore Hill.

OYSTER BAY. Aug. when Presi-
dent Roosevelt returned from the May
flowers target shooting trip in Gardi-
ner's Bay early this morning. he found
a number of matters of Importance
awaiting his consideration through the
the usual method of consultation with
luncheon guests.
First there was Senator o. II. Platt. of
Connecticut. Senator Platt wanted to
see the program that had been arranged
for the Presidents trip through his State
and talk with the President about the
trip generally. Mr.. Platt brought with
him Mr.. Phelps. secretary to Connec-
ticut's governor. Besides Connecticut
matters the President and Mr.. Platt had
some talk about the Philippines ques-
tion.
Mr.. Stewart Calls.
Mr.. Platt was not. however. the only
Senatorial representative. There was
Senator Stewart of Nevada. Things are
rot all smooth in Senator Stewards road
towards reelection. A gentleman named
Newlands, C member of Congress, is
making trouble all over the State. Mr..
Newlands wantc to be Senator himself.
Mr.. Stewart thinks he can lick New
lands, but would not reject executive
Offices of assistance.
Mr.. Stewards ostensibie reason for
coming to Oyster Bay was to talk irri-
cation TO the President. Mr.. Newlands
has been making his campaign on the
subject of irrigation.
Representatives Sherman and Littauer,
OF New York, and Jesse Overstreet, OF
Indiana. were at luncheon. Mr.. Littauer
said that the three came to talk over the
Congressional situation in New York
State. He told the President that in
the close districts, and there were sew
eral he said, there must be red-hot
fight. even at the cost of utterly neglect
ing the districts which seem surely safe.
Several districts in this State have local
fights menacing the best interests OF the
party.
Talk on Committee Work.
Mr.. overstreet is the secretary of the
Republican Congressional campaign
committee, and came to talk over the
committee's work with the President
and to make some suggestions about the
trips to be made North and West this
fall. Ex-State Senator John Laughlln,
of Buffalo. was sent for by the President
TO talk over the exceedingly disturbed
situation Of the Republicans of Erie
county.
The Presidents practice has always
been to talk with every Catholic who
comes to his house about the contro-
versy with the friars in the Philippines.
He followed his practice in consulting
with Mr. Laughlln, whom he has known
for many years.

Goelet Property.

The Goelet property, which is men
toned in the above letter, adjoining the
site of the Cooper Union site. is the
same plot for which an offer was yester-
day received from the trustees of the
estate. There has been considerable
comment caused by the fact that the
letter offering the Goelet property to the
department mentioned that the trustees
had no power under the will to dispose
of the property. but IL the Government
desired to acquire It at the price consid-
cred fair by the trustees, $1,000 900. the
trustees did not see that they would be
called upon to offer opposition. There
was some discussion at the Postofiice
Department yesterday morning as to
whether OF not, II the Government wish
ed to buy the Goelet property. such
prior arrangement fixing the price would
not invalidate the condemnation pro-
ceedings.

TAKING THE THRONE
In Great Britain a Lot of Red Tape
Is Required.
Eormalities to BE Gone Through
With in Case OF New Sovereign
Medieval Customs OF
Proclamation.

Even though the heir and successor
of a British sovereign may be sitting
at the bedside of that sovereign when
death comes, as was the case at the
death of Queen Victoria, the new ruler
is not officially notified of the fact
that he has succeeded to the throne
until the announcement is made to
him by the lord chamberlain. This is
the first step taken when a British ruler
| dies.
At the earliest possible moment the
privy council convenes. the members
| of that body resign and are immedi-
ately reappointed and resworn. At
their first meeting as advisers of the
new sovereign the members of the
cabinet formally give up their seals
of Office, whereupon they also are re-
sworn to their respective depart
| ments. ..
Both houses of parliame nt meet and
| the announcement of the death of the
sovereign and the accession of his or
her successor is followed by each
member of both houses, beginning
with the royal dukes in the house of
lords, taking the oath of allegiance
to the new ruler. Thus, while the
ministry, consisting of the leaders of
the political party in power resigns
being Immediately reappointed-no
election for members of the house of
commons is called, and the business of
the country is not interrupted.
At the first meeting of the privy
council the new sovereign chooses the
title by which'he or she shall be known,
and takes the oath of allegiance be-
fore receiving those of his or her coun-
cilors. This royal oath practically is
g. promise to rule according to the let
ter and spirit of the constitution and
an acknowledgment of fidelity to the
