TRAIN DELAYED BY BROKEN WHEEL.
WASHINGTON, Sept. PAN unusually
large crowd greeted President Roosevelt
when he reached Washington this even
ing. His train was three-quarters OF an hour
late, and it was o'clock before the Presi-
dent stepped into his carriage and was
driven to the White House.
The Washington public. usually pays
little attention to the comings and goings
of the President, but the Pennsylvania
station was damned when the special train
arrived, and there was throng in the street
outside the station The crowd cheered
Mr.. Roosevelt heartily as he hurried TO his
carriage. He acknowledged the greeting
by raising his hat and bowling right and
left.
The delay to the train was caused by
the breaking of rim on one Of the drive
wheels of the engine. The accident oc-
Cured while the train was passing through
the tunnel at Baltimore, and II the engine
had been moving at high rate OF speed
the consequences might have been serious.
As it was, the broken rim pierced the boiler,
disabling the engine.
Another engine was substituted as soon
as possible The President asked that the
trainhands pass through his car on the way
from Baltimore to Washington. As he
shook hands with the conductor the latter
remarked that he was sorry the accident
had delayed the Presidents arrival home.
-Oh, that's all right replied Mr.. Roose-
welt, laughing. n all my troubles were
as small as that shouldn't have any Cause
TO complain.

Philadelphia by Senator Knox Of Penn
sylvania who took occasion to talk over
with the President the speech which the
Senator will make Of the meeting Of the
Manufacturers Club in Philadelphia on
