Roosevelt a Great Reader.

President Roosevelt's love for the
woods and the plains is no greater
than his affection for books, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune. In spite of the
busy life he leads and the regular
hours he keeps, it is safe to say that
few men of affairs in the republic read
more than the president, and fewer
yet extend their literary foraging over
a wider range of subjects. In addition
to keeping up with the important
newspapers and magazines, which Is
a task in Itself, the president is al
ways abreast of the times in fiction.
science, historical research and art.
Reading is to the president what rest
is to most men. When he is at his
home in Oyster Bay, at the White
House in Washington, or in his car
speeding over the rails to meet some
distant engagement, he is invariably
found with a book in his hand when
not engaged in some more important
work. When he starts on a trip, be
it long or short, his car is always
stocked with volumes and magazines
and just as soon as he disposes of his
correspondence or bows out the visit
ing local committeeman" who come
to pay their respects, he takes up the
book that lays open and continues to
race through it's pages. Aided by a
wonderfully retentive memory, the
president holds fast all that he reads,
and is ready, if the need arises, to re-
peat almost any thought expressed by
the author, years after his eye had
travelled with lightning speed over the
page. That the president is able to
cover so much ground in literature is
due to his systematic sticktoitiveness.

Past Week of the War.

Important war developments were
expected in the far east last week, but
the expectations were not realized.
The great naval battle for which the
world has been looking may yet be far
away, for even the experts have found
all their calculations upset by the pro-
gress of events. 1t was thought that
the two fleets must come together soon
after Rojestvensky had passed Singa-
pore, but no one seems to know what
Admiral Togo's plan of campaign is,
and predictions as to the great fight
that must eventually come are merely
guess work
1t is evident that France will heed
the Japanese protest against the Rus
sian squadron making French waters
a base for operations, and Rojestven-
sky will probably put to sea and move
toward the north. He may be attacked
off Formosa or he may be allowed to
approach nearer to Vladivostock. One
authority had it that the Japanese
plan was to allow the Russian ships
to enter Vladivostock, where they
could be destroyed after the fashion
adopted at Port Arthur. Perhaps such
a program might appeal to an expert,
but to layman it would hardly seem
possible that good sea fighter of the
Togo order would allow hostile fleet,
after so long voyage, to proceed leis-
urely up the Chinese coast and not
attempt to do serious damage to it.
The Manchurian war news has been
even more featureless than that from
the sea. The great armies appear to
be idle, and there is no definite infor-
nation regarding contemplated ad-
vance movements. However, it has
not been the practice of Oyama to
stand still if he was in a position to
move effectively, and it can not be
many weeks before he once more takes
the aggressive.

Christian japanese,

General Nogi and General Kuroki
are members of the Presbyterian
church. Field Marshal Oyama's wife
is also a member in good standing of
that denomination. Admiral Togo is
a Roman Catholic. Other instances of
high Japanese officials being Christians
might be noted. No country in the
world possesses today a larger meas
ure of religious liberty than does Jap
an. That is one of the secrets of her
success and progress during these lat
ter years.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April a.
Joseph Jefferson, the eminent actor
died at his home, "The Reefs" at Palm
Beach at 6:15 Sunday evening. The
end came after day of unconscious.
ness, and after a heroic struggle of
days which had exhausted his vitality
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles B. and Frank Jefferson !;
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham; DR..
r. j. Potter and his faithful old SER
want, Carl Kettler.
The end was not surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement
until Friday the family had been
waiting for the end. Mr.. Jefferson's
condition Saturday night grew stead
lily worse, and the family, who had
retired, were summoned from their
beds and Dr. Potter was called. The
patients condition continued to grow
worse all through Sunday, and the
brief bulletins from the bedside con-
tanned no words of encouragement.

JAPAN FEELS BETTER
over EXPULSION OF RUSSIAN
FLEET FROM FRENCH PORT.
Although 1t is Believed II Admiral
Rojestvensky Entered kamranh
Bay to Prepare for a Dash North
ward His Purpose Was Accom-
pIished.

The announcement that in response
to Japan's representations France has
promised the expulsion of the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron from
Kamranh bay and affirmed her deter.
mination to maintain neutrality is re-
ceived at Toxic with pleasure, al.
though it is believed that if Rojest.
vensky entered Kamranh bay for the
purpose of finally preparing for a dash
northward his purpose was accom-
plished.
The foreign Office in a recent state.
ment says:
The French government upon re-
ceipt Of the report that the Baltic
squadron had arrived at Kamranh bay
instructed the governor general of
lndo-China to strictly enforce the
rules of French neutrality The gov
ernor general telegraphed replying
that he had taken the necessary meas
ure according to instructions by the
French government"
French Newspapers Criticize.
Some of the newspapers of Paris,
commenting upon the expulsion of the
Russian second Pacific squadron from
French territorial waters in Indo-
China, hold that France, in seeking
to render exact justice to Japan, has
been unjust to Russia. The Echo de
Paris, which is strongly pro-Russian,
says that Frances insistence upon Ro-
jestvensky's leaving Kamranh bay will
have the effect of making him an
easy pray to Togo, as the Russian
ships, being driven from all points
without being able to take on coal,
must put to sea win half filled bunk
ers, being thus crippled at the moment
of meeting the enemy.
The Temps criticize the Saigon re-
port that Russian merchant vessels
have been forbidden to take on the
necessary coal to enaDle them to
reach the nearest Russian port. The
paper maintains that the ships have
the right to take on sufficient coal to
last them until they reach Vladivo-
stok, which is the nearest Russian
port.

worse, with slight rallies until the
end.
