HE WILL VISIT MEMPHIS

Washington, Nov. 1.-tspecial) --Tno' press report from Jackson. Mss. thet Governor Longino had received tele- gram from President Roosevelt fnsI1x declining the Governors invitation to c, bear hunt in the Yazoo delta. caused sur> prise in Washington, for up to the mos ment of the Presidents departure xo4 Manassas no such information was eiver out here.
 Therefore 1t Is assumed that the pre1s, ident sent the telegram at the very uo- ment of his going away. ;
 But. however that may be. tho declinae| ton to engage in the bear hunt hno' merely an incidental bearing upon tho Presidents proposed Southern tour.
 The city of Memphis several weelFs an invited the President to be it's guest ~ some date in November which would sutE his convenience. the 18th of the month being mentioned as a day pleasinely auit~ able to the Memphians. who had planned a great reception to the old confedernte, General Wright, vice-Goyernor of the Philippines. to whom the President m more than one of his New England speeches paid noble tribute.
 The President tentatively accepted tf1 NuctupulS lutttAtiOn anu HI 8H UEtI8H<&< ity he will make the journey Southward. probably leaving Washington the night of November i6. The Mississippi bear hunt was simply an incident to which the President looked forward to with delight. 1t seems that he cannot avail himself of Governor Lon-fno's courtesy. though in Washington the only source of information is Secretary Jackson. Secre- tary Cortelyou being with the President in Virginia. and Private Secretary Loeb being uninformed.
 It remains, however. that the only in yitation the President Fsas received to visit Alabama is from Booker Washing ton. No other person and no organized body has invited him to tarry on Ala- bama soil. But it is his purpose to visit the negro school in Tuskegee. and so 1t is likely he will be in Alabama not later than November 25.
 There is story current here and throughout tho East, probably for polit- ical effect, that leading ciuzens of Mem- phis have resolved not to take part In the Presidents reception and to refuse to attend the local banquet in his honor alleging as an excuse that he invited Booker Washington to luncheon. But that is too silly, too unsouthern. for be- lief.
 Neither the President nor Secretary Cortelyou will be in Washington before next Wednesday evening. but the facts as here given are substantial.

MINNESOTA WILL GO
 WAY OF REPUBLICANS.

St. Paul. Mum. Nov. 1.-Governor Van Sant. the Republican candidate for re- election, has made his campaign largely on the question of en endorsenis nI of his action ih opposing the so-called r$ilway merger. The Democrats have devoted almost their entire efforts to the election of l.. A. Rosing as Governor and their campaign has been the hardest they have put forth in Minnesota for many years. Tonight Chairman Jamison, of the Repub- Iican committee, claimed that the entire Republican ticket would be elected by at least 25.0OO plurality, but on tine other hand, Chairman Buck of the Democratic committee made a claim for like plu- rality for Rosing. However the chances seem to be rather more favorable to the Republican claim.
