Washington, Sept. &c. - President
Roosevelt returned to Washington at
$3.50 last night over the Pennsylvania
railway from Indianapolis, where he
was compelled to abandon his North
western trip because of an abcess on
his leg which developed as the result
of the trolley accident at Pittsfeld,
Mass. He stood the ride from Indian
apolis remarkably we'll, and when he
was carried in wheel chair from the
car to his carriage he was in excellent
spirits and appeared to be free from
any pain. With Mrs. Roosevelt the
president was driven directly to the
temporary White House in Jackson.
Place, where, according to the present
arrangements he will remain until the.
wound is healed and he is able again
to be on his feet. The president was
taken to his room on the second floor
of the hotel and made comfortable and.
his wound dressed. Later he was re-
ported to be resting easily and the ex-
pectation is that within ten days the
president will be himself again. The
trip home from Indianapolis was an
uneventful one. He remained

letters or kilograms were written or re-
ceived. A telegram was put on the"
train at Pittsburg from Mrs. Roosevelt.
stating that she had left Oyster Bay
for Washington. The president slept
soundly all through the night until g.
o'clock in the morning.
When the physician entered the
presidents state room about 8 o'clock
he found his patient in excellent spirits
and condition, barring the wound on
his leg. The slight fever which he had
had Tuesday afternoon had disap-~
peared and his temperature was nor,
NAL. After eating a hearty breakfast
the president called for a book, re-
marking that as he was an invalid he
proposed to enjoy himself. He was
propped up in bed with his left leg on
pillow and spent most of the day in
reading. The running time of the train
was slow in order to reduce the jars
and as few stops as possible were
made. After dinner the president en-
pressed a desire to see the members
of his party and they went into his ::
state room few at time.
He chatted Pleasantly
with all of them and expressed his
great disappointment at not being able
to continue the trip. He said he had
strongly opposed the decision of the.
doctors to have the operation per-
formed at Indianapolis. He wanted to
continue his journey and make the
speeches he had planned, but finally
yielded to the strong pleadings Of the
doctors, who represented that there
was danger II not promptly attended
to that the bone might become affected
and an affection result that it might
take months to cure. The president
yielded, but remarked that in his.
younger days he had broken rib and
his collar bone at a sheep herding but
had not allowed 1t to interfere with his
work. In his talk with his callers the
president expressed his determination
to visit the Northwest next spring,
when he will extend his trip as far as
the coast, during which he will visit
all the states in which he intended to,
stop on this trip.
When the train bearing the presi-
dent rolled into the station there was a
large crowd awaiting its arrival, but

Mrs. Roosevelt, who had reached the
city during the day from Oyster Bay,
had been one of the earliest arrivals
at the station. She was accompanied
by Rear Admiral P. H. Rixey, formerly
the physician attached to the presiden-
tial household. Secretaries Moody and
Hitchcock and John F. Uric Joined
them before the trains arrival AS
soon as the train came to stop Mrs.
Roosevelt boarded it, followed by the
cabinet officers and the others who had
come to welcome the president home.
They remained aboard about fifteen
minutes, chatting with the president,
before he was removed from the car.
The president extended q happy
greeting to several persons whom he
recognized as he was being wheeled to
the carriage. He remarked to crowd
of officials and trainmen that he felt.
better than he looked. He apparently
suffered no pain from the wound in
his leg.

convenience.
