the President Congratulated by visitors
and by Man and telegraph.


WASHINGTON, Oct. N.-President Roose-
parsons remembered the anniversary, for
the President received large number OF
congratulatory messages. both by man
and by telegraph, and nearly all OF the
visitors to the White House during business
hours took occasion to offer their felicita-
tons on the event.
Following It's annual custom. the Hun
garian- Republican Club OF New York"
headed by Marcus Braun, It's president,
called on Mr.. Roosevelt and offered Its
congratulations. The club instituted this
custom the first year OF Mr.. Roosevelts
term rs Governor Of New York.
The Superintendent Of Public Buildings
and Grounds sent over 70 the White House
q huge bouquet OF forty-six chrysanthe-
NUNS from the propasating gardens. and
these were placed on the Presidents desk,
Each flower was nearly as large as hat
Mrs. George Dewey, wife Of the Adj
miral, called to congratulate the Presi-
dent on his birthday. and when she
went away from the White House she
carried several large white roses from a
bouquet which had been presented to MIR.
Roosevelt earlier in the morning.
Another caller was Thomas Dennis, who
was for many years Waterman In the
Navy Department. Dennis was on duty
in the Department when Mr.. Roosevelt
was assistant Secretary Of the Navy. and
he always calls to con graduate the Presi-
dent on the anniversary Of his birth, mainly
for the reason that the birthday anniver-
sary Of Mr.. Roosevelt and himself are the
same. Dennis is 90 years old to-day. In
ls7, while serving as q sailor on the United
States gunboat Princeton at Gibraltar, he
lost both arms through the explosion Of a
gun. A salute was being fired in honor
OF Russian Prince, and Dennis was pen
stoned by the Russian and American Gov
ernments
Years ago he was watchman In the
Government Building In Chicago when
Walter Q. Gresham was a Federal Judge.
One day It was reported that another watch
man was to be dismissed for the reason that
his services were not needed, and Dennis
asked that he be dismissed In the other
mans stead He explained that he was
drawing a pension from two Governments,
while the other man was dependent on his
pay to support his family. Dennis's re-
quest was complied with. Judge Gresham
heard OF the incident, and when be became
Secretary Of State In the second Cabinet
Of Grover Cleveland he had Dennis ap-
pointed as q Waterman In the State, War
and Navy Building.
President Roosevelt knows Dennis WELL
and he gave him a cordial reception. The

poverty and the commercial paralysis

Columbia University.

To-day Columbia University Ia osle-
brating the one hundred and fftieth
anniversary of the foundation OF Kings
College in tho city Of New York, the
school II learning which was the germ
from which developed the great uni
versity on Morningside Heights.
When Kings College was founded In
1854 New York was town of less than
fifteen thousand inhabitants, and in size
it ranked after both Boston and Phila-
delphia. Harvard College had already
been in existence for more than CEN
fury, the Virginia College Of william
and Mary for sixty-two years and Yale
for hfty-three years.
The history OF the development Of
this New York college Is history Of the
growth Of the town. and relatively it
Is growth as remarkable. The college
Of 1854, practically q high school Of a
moderate standard even for those days,
has developed into a university which
in magnitude and comprehensiveness
ranks with the great universities of the
world. The list Of Its graduates during
the $50 years Of it's existence includes
the names Of almost every family Of
distinction In the history Of the town,
and many Of the foremost citizens In
every generation.
The movements of the site Of the in
stitution during that period have also
followed the growth Of the town very
closely. 1t started in the neighborhoed
Of tho City Hall. In 1857 it went with
the upward movement of population
to Madison avenue and Torty-ninth
street. and In 1897, forty years later, it
pushed moro than three miles further
north to Morninsside Heights. Mean
time 1t was steadily strengthened and
developed till 1t attained its present
rank as one Of the great universities Of
the world, with thousands Of students
in its many schools and departments.
Every New Yorker has reason for
pride in the career Of school OF learning
In this commercial metropolis which
has grown with the town itself from
feeble beginnings TO capital prosperity.

The Cana dian Pacific and the Trans
siberian.

The strain Of the Russo English affair
in the North Sea has naturally produced
a discussion OF the possibilities Of war
between the two countries, and Of con-
ditions by which such a contest would
be influenced. The Montreal Star con-
siders the use Of the Canadian Pacific as
route for troop transportation to the
Far East
With her ample supply OF ships on the
Atlantic, England could throw large
bodies OF troops across to Halifax with
great rapidity. Pacific transit would
also be only matter Of available ships,
Of which there would doubtless be an
abundance which could be brought to
Vancouver without serious loss OF time.
The overland section, from Halifax to
Vancouver. would be by the Interoo-
lonial line to Montreal, and thence to
the Pacific Coast by the Canadian Pacific.
The eastern section Of the Canadian
Pacific would not be available, for the
reason that 1t crosses American territory,
and the transit Of armed troops in time
of war would doubtless be prohibited
By that combination route from sea
to sea the distance is approximately
s,s25 miles, or just about three-quarters
Of the distance from Moscow to Hardin,
which is given as $3.50 miles, The Cana
dian lines claim ability TO carry readily
10000 troops q week, and 1t is probable
that they could do 80. The exact number
Of men which Russia has been able to
carry over her Trans-Siberian line is not
known, but, even with full allowance
for the greater distance, 1t is evident
that the railway resources Of Canada's
100000 people are vastly superior to
those Of Russia's 10000. 600. With ships
and these railways, England might put
men into the Far East at the rate Of 100, 900
q month. But there Ia no probability that
they will be needed at present.
