Washington d. c.. Nov. II. 1904.
Roosevelt means ''the rose of the
world The foremost man or the lead
ing nation of the earth has a thousand
and one things to attend to- Princes. en-
voys. ambassadors. place hunters sena-
tors, authors. Eng sh statesmen-there
Is an endless chain of them going in and
out of the White House all the time.
Simply The social duties of the situation
are sufficient TO keep a man busy. But
added to these are all the rumors or
what the president inten.s to do; the
guesses and surmses which burden the
wires from Washington and MI the pro-
vincial press. The pI Iesident is surprise,.
II not annoyed a. the activity and pre-
cipitousness with which news purveyors
reconstruct his cabinet and fill inportant
POSITIONS in the Anne icln dipiomltic
corps. He Is mas.er OF the situation. and
There IL nothing in the condition OF ar
fairs al home or abroad calling for haste.
He has made but one positive announce
meni regarding his cabinet, after the An
OF next March, and that Is to the effect
that John Hay will remain secretary of
state. This has been received by the press
and public with entire satisfaction. BY
H. Mr. Hay will be over 20 years of age.
quite ready to retire from active l.fe Ills
broher Mai. Hay. who died last wees,
was 20.
There is no foundation for the tentative
speculation regarding an extra session Of
congress next spring to consider the m L
ter OF tariff revision. There is no demand
for such revision: upon that Issue ii
1t was one, the country stood pat" dur
Ing the campa gn and expressed its sat
isfaction at the polls with the existing
state of things. Mr. Babeock of Wiscon-
sin is known to be in favor of revision.
but he has been eturned 10 congress by
very small majorty-;oo small for HIN
to bank upon. The adm nistrst!on is nat
uraly averse to a pronounced agitation
OF the tariff question. and the president
viii not even mention the subject In his
forthcoming message. Senator Foraker.
who Is back In this city for the winter,
says there is no need for an extra session.
and Congressman Grosvenor adds that
the matter has not even been conside- cd.
Senator's Culiom and Proctor t1ke the
same view.
The demand for tariff revision was not
strong during the campaign TO cause
any expectation among business mel
that the present system Will be charged.
The result of the election was discounted
in financial circles long before the sth of
November. and II caused no disturbance
of values. Since then affairs of sta are
not boiheiing the president and he has
decided 10 take the air" and ENJOY him
self. The policy of the country for the
coming four years has been settien.
Great and RAPID aovarces In domestic
prosperity and material deveiopmeat are
anticipated, There will be iai ge own
of foreign commerce. Railway corpora
tions and manufac ,uring plants are
straining every nerve TO keep abreast o.
the times and put themselves in ieadi-
ness to meet future demands.
The very fact that the president Is SO
vigorous: that he accepts so many inNi-
tations: that he is ready to make so
many speeches upon such a wide variety
OF topics and enters so heartily into So
ciai enjoyments. is proof that he is in the
highest physical and mental condition
Like fine horse he Is therefore able to
do the hest work. He has agreed 20 make
addresses when he receives the statue OF
Frederick the CT eat; upon the dedication
o: the paroch.al schools of st. Patncks 5
church in this city. and at The annual
meeting OF the American Forestry asso-
clat on. lie will doubtless make enc or
two speeches In st. Louis. for which
city he departs upon Thanksgiving even
ing.
The Japanese prince has received
very cordial welcome from the president,
the officers of the army and all win
whom he has come In contact Owing ID
the unhappy differences between Japan
and Russia Count Cassini did not partici-
pate In the social functions gwen In hon
or OF the prince. He asked the minister
from Mexico TO ofiic.ate In his place. The
guests at the state dinner to the prince
were limited To the cabinet. the officers
OF the army and the fore.gn ambassadol s.
Tomorrow evening a dinner viii be given
at the While House to the German army
