PRESIDENT HOME AGAIN.
Hunting Party Back From Colorado
Greeting to Mrs. Mckinley.

Greeting to Mrs. Mckinley.
WASHINGTON. May 12.-President
Roosevelt arrived here at midnight and
the Colorado hunting grounds before
taking up the burden of official life
once more.
The president left the train immedi-
ately after it rolled into the station.
He shook hands with train employees,
newspaper mel and others who gree
ed him. Then. with Mr.. Lambert, he
stepped into his carriage and was driy-
en- to the White House. Marshal Pal
mer of the District of Columbia and
Assistant Secretary Barnes of the
White House executive staff were at
the station to meet the president.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot. chief of the gov
eminent forestry bureau, was the pres
ident's guest from Chicago.
The president regards his trip as
of the most enjoyable journeys he has
taken since he has been president. He
travelled 6,006 miles and passed
through twelve states and three terri
tories-Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas, Okla
homa, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebras-
ka and Iowa. Every state and terri
tory in the United States, except Flori-
ola and Arkansas, have been visited by
Mr.. Roosevelt since he became presi-
dent. and it is his intention to accept
the hospitality of these states before
his term is finished. 1t is probable that
he will make a tour of the south some
time before the converting of congress
in the fall Of this year. The demon
strations at every point where the pres
ident spoke are said by the official
member of the party to have been the
heartiest that have eyer been accorded
him on any trip.
The president was particularly pleas
ed with the manner in which he was
received in Chicago. Banquets were
numerous on the trip. But the presi-
dent told the crew of his ear, Rocket.
that he never enjoyed anything more
than the dinners they have prepared
for him.
The president was much disappoint-
ed because no arrangements had been
made to have the special train stop at
Canton. o.. where Il letter was dropped
off at the station to be delivered to
Mrs. Mckinley. The greeting from
President Roosevelt to the widow of
the former president said:
Pray accept my best wishes ami
earnest hope that you are feeling well.
| did not know that the train was to
pass through Canton without stopping
until ii had started from Chicago and
i found that it was too late to change
the schedule. Otherwise | should have
stopped to see you in person. May all
blessings attend you"
The presidential train passed through
Harrisburg last night en- route to
Washington. The president was greet
ed at the railroad station by 300 peo-
pie. He made a brief speech, in which
lie said. that after several weeks OF
pleasure he was glad to get back to
hard work.
The charges against Assistant Serre-
tary of State LOOMS sent from Gu
racas, Venezuela, BY Minister Bowen
will be among the first and most inn
portant questions to be decided by the
president. This case is regarded by
the president as Il matter Of very seri-
oLs import and was one Of the main
questions that caused him to cut short
his vacation.
Mr.. Bowen will come to Washington
ON Monday, and the case Will then be
taken up for Investigation.
