Young Theodore's IIIneSs.

Eject Of Unfortunate Termination Of
Young Theodore's IIIneSs.
The impression exists among the Of
heials OF the State Department that. in
the event Of the death II young Theodore
Roosevelt. Prince Henry VIII not come 10

Although there have been no commuai-
cations on the subject between the State
Department and Germany. no doubt is felt
that Prince Henry would at least post

The death or the Presidents young son
would. Of course. prevent Miss Alice
Roosevelt christening the Meteor IT. and
would make &c utterly impossible for the
royal visitor to be entertained properly
al the White House
Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have the deepest love for their children.
and the death or any one OF them would
plunge the entire family in deep mourn
ing. All social functions az the White
House. no matter what their importance,
would be postponed indefinitely
The personal characteristics OF Prince
Henry are well known By many OF the Of
feials at the State Department. and it is
regarded as exceedingly unlikely that be

when the President and his family we're
in affection. Whether young Theodore's
death would be the cause Of the total

but it is believed that it would cause
postponement OF several months.
Pending developments in TheOdore's
sickness the committee OF reception IS
continuing its work in planning for the
entertainment OF the representative Of the
German Emperor.
