OYSTER BAY. N. Y. Sept. 1.-President
Roosevelt has received an invitation to
attend banquet somewhere In the White
Mountains to be given in honor Of the Rus
sian and Japanese ENJOYS IN the near
future by the State Of New Hampshire.
Senator Burnham Of New Hampshire
and George H. Moses, secretary to Gov
MoLane, called upon the President to-day
to discuss the matter, but the President
has no intention Of going at present. He
said he intended to make no more trips this
summer until he starts on his Southern
trip on Dot. 1.
The particular mission Of Mr.. Moses was
to bring to the President q letter written
by Gov. McIane to Assistant Secretary
H. D. Peirce. showing exactly how the
State Of New Hampshire entertained the
peace ENJOYS. There is an indignant de-
NAL that the v entworth extended cour-
tesies to the ENJOYS merely to advertise a
certain brewery, and as to the prices. well,
the use Of kicking.
