ROOSEVELT Is RESTING
'Chopping Trees" is Part of his
Pleasant PaStime

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July The
President is resting today and be eX-
poets to continue to do so for some
time. Politics have been dropped
temporarily and all official business
except the most urgent has been laid
aside. The Presidents idea of rest
is different from that of most persons.
He has confided to his friends that
he intends to ride, walk, row, sail,
swim and chop trees.
Mr.. Roosevelt spent restful night
at Sycamore hill. Even the howling
of the family dog, which was kept up
continuously, did not disturb his slum-
bers. He arose early yesterday and
attended services at Christ Episcopal
church. In his carriage were Miss
Carow, his son Archie and Lieutenant
Ferguson OF the Rough Riders, {"
who is his guest. The people OF Oys-
ter Bay seem TO resent the presence of
the secret service men, as they believe
that the President is perfectly safe
from bodily harm. The strictest sur
veillance is maintained despite these
protestations.

in jail six farmers living near Elgin,
Kas., charged with conspiracy to rob
the Elgin S'a'e bank. They are Robert
Niblock, George Niblock, John w,

others, were planning to rob the bank,
and he set about learning their move
ments. The work was to be done Sun
day night, and, secreting his posse
about the bank, he awaited their COM

the robbers were changed, and, after
cutting the telephone wires, they at
tempted escape, six being arrested and
six others being hunted by the officers.
Those in custody were arraigned be-
fore Justice Ellis today and their
preliminary hearing set for July 16.

departure from Manila for San Fran
cisco is expected, it is said, at any
time. He will come direct to Boston
to join his eX-secretary, Sixto Lopez,

Manila, July 7.--As a result of the
proclamation of amnesty July 4, the
guard OF American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila and Lieu
tenant Johnson, Aguinaldo's custo-
dian, brought the Filipino yesterday
to see General ChatIee. 1t was the
first meeting between the American
general and the leader of the Filipino
revolution. Lieutenant William f.
McKinlay of the Ninth cavalry acted
AS iA'Ni ~ SNNA'
Aguinaldo was told .Aat he was free
to go anywhere he pleased and Cen
eral Chatlee asked him if he had any
complaint to make of American dis
courtesy or hardness. Aguinaldo re
piled that he had no such complaint 20
make. He told General Chailee that
he was going to visit friends at his
home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite prov
ince, and inquired what protectionthe
American authorities would afford
him. He seemed to be afraid to ven
ture out. General Chaffee replied that
Aguinaldo would get the same pro-
lection as any other citizen.
The ex-Filipino leader then asked
General Chaffee oprevent the courts
from requiring him to testify in civil
suits. General Chaffee replied that
he had no authority to grant this re-
quest, and advised Aguinaldo to make
q social call upon the acting civil gov
ernor, Mr.. Wright. This Aguinaldo
said he would do, but that he would
go at night, as he was timid about ap-
pearingon on the streets in daylight.

Washington, July 7. Secretary
Moody today, after consultation with
his bureau chiefs, gave orders that
one of the battle ships authorized at
the last session of Congress be con
structed at the New York navy yard.
The Secretary was under strong
pressure in this matter. Beside New
York, Norfolk and Boston were com
petitors for the work. The Secretary
was finally influenced in his decision
by the fact that two years time would
be required to bring the plant at Bos
ton up to the point where it could
undertake the work of building u
battleship; also that the $l75, 600
authorized by Congress to be expend-
ed in making ready for the construc-
tion of the ship would be insufiicien

BURTON'S ADDRESS
He Defines the Cuban Reciprocity
Policy


Topeka, July 7--Senator j. h. Bur
ton delivered an address here tonight
before 1000 people, defending his po-
sition on the Cuban reciprocity ques-
tion. Before he finished his hearers
had discovered that there are really
two sides to the question.
The senator first called attention to
some OF the stories which had recently
been sent out to do him harm and paid
his respects TO their authors. He
turned q neat point by declaring that
several of the stories we're given out
more to cripple the president than
himself. He spoke of the cordial
feeling existing between the president
and himself and referred to the story
sent out recently that the president
had refused to shake hands with him.
He told of the meeting the day on
which the incident was declared to
have taken place. He said that the
story was monstrous slander upon
the president. 1t was part of gen.
eral plan to put the president in a
false light, and it was the duty of
every self-respecting citizen to put the
seal of condemnation on anyone who
would thus slander the president
He paid all of the Kansas congress-
men high compliments, and declared
that the president and congress were
in full accord. He referred to many
things done by congress during the
session just closed, which Roosevelt
wanted it to do, and finally got around
to the Cuban question. He laid down
the declaration that this was not a
party question as against the Demo-
Gratis. 'It is discussion between Re-
publicans, he said. 81 deny that
the beet sugar senator's are in the
minority. II anyone says anything
else, he falsities. If thirty-fve Repub.
lican senator's had come to us and
said, we are going to pass that bill,
they could have done so. They
never came to us with such a
declaration. On the other hand, they
came and encouraged us to keep up
the fight. There are not fifteen Repub- !
lican senator's out of the fifty-four who
are in favor OF the present bill at heart
Beet sugar is Republican question
by authority"
After reviewing at some length the |
work of Congress and the question of
Cuban Reciprocity the senator stated |
that if after full discussion of the
question the people of Kansas desired /,
him to support the measure he would |

oasis OF 800 acres has been made by
digging artesian wells and planted IN
melons. Judging by last year. when
only sixty acres were in cultivation, o
profit of more than $1,000 an acre
would have been made. Three hun
dred car loads of melons, for which
81 200 car was offered we're almost
ready for shipment when the storm
broke. For three days it ragged, with
the thermometer 126 degrees in the
shade, and when it was over every bit
OF vegetation had been destroyed.
