 visible vestige of the great St. Peters
 burg strike disappeared today when the
 employees of the Putiloff iron works re- turned to work.
 l At all the works ballots are being dis l tributed for the election Sunday of rep
 resentatives on the mixed commission of
 masters and workmen. Current rumors of trouble on the holiday tomorrow, on
 which occasion it has been reported that | the revolutionaries had planned an armed | uprising, seem to be totally without foun- | dation.

 President returned the polyglot greeting. l There was no delay. A lane was made quickly through the people massed at the | police lines in Avenue A, and the car 1 riages with their mounted police escort
 swept up to the door of the restaurant. l At the entrance to the cafe there was cheer, and the President doffed his hat. l In the carriage with the President was Marcus Braun, president of the Hunga- rian Republican club, whose guest MT. | Roosevelt was; Police Commissioner Mc- Adoo and Secretary Loeb. As the Presi- 1 dent stepped from the carriage, he paused | and shook hands with several police in spectors who stood near.
 When the President drove up to Little l Hungary" tonight, he fulfilled promise made to members of the Hungarian Re- 1 publican club several years ago that he would be their guest at banquet if their prediction came true, and he ever | went to the White House. | This, the concluding function of the l Presidents two days visit to New York, was the most picturesque that he has attended. In striking contrast to the wealth and fashion which surrounded him last night at the Lincoln dinner, were the surroundings amid which the President l spoke tonight.
 Called Many By Name. | Promptly at S:S0 o'clock the President 1 left the reception room where he met and called by name many former Eastsidc | friends, among the hundreds of hand shakers, and escorted by Mir. Braun de- scended to the basement and past the l little bar into the cafe. He stood for | several minutes at his place at the cen | ter of the head table, gazing upon the elaborate decoration. The President sat at the right of Mr. Braun, and the other | guests at this table were Gen. Francis | V. Greene, William Barnes, Jr., Rear Ad- miral Coghlan, Gen. Frederick D. Grant | Nevada N. Stranahan, Secretary Loeb, W. | Travers Jerome, Commissioner McAdoo, Robert B. Armstrong, James Sloane, Jr.. l and Frank H. Tyre, while nearby were many other men prominent in various walks of life.
 | A Hungarian orchestra especially | pleased the President with its inspiring ! music throughout the dinner. An anus | ing incident of the early part of the din- | ner was furnished by MT Taussig, a | prominent member of the Hungarian club. He Is tall man with long black hair, and a rather striking countenance. He
 was sitting down in front of the Presi- | dent, and started up to shake hands with him. when there was an immediate rush of secret service men to the rescue. This caused great amusement among the mem- bers of the club, and the President gave
 him a most cordial greeting. Letters From Hungary Read. | letter from Count Apponyi, one of | the opposition leaders in the Hungarian
 diet was read in which he said how much | he would have liked to attend the ban | quet "I have no right" he said, to l express anything like partisan feeling with respect to American affairs, but 1 there is nothing to prevent me from giv- | ing expression to the feeling or hish personal regard which I, like all Euro peans entertain for President Roose- ] velt"
 l Kossuth the Hungarian statesmen, sent | the following telegram which was read amid great enthusiasm: Deliver at banquet congratulations Of | our party to President Roosevelt" | It was 10:30 o'clock when MT. Braun | rapped for order that he might introduce 1 the President. He spoke of the organ | izaton of the Hungarian Republican club nine years ago for the purpose of | making good Americans of Hungarians | who came to this country. The members | cheered when MT. Braun said this club was fighting all attempts to make Hun- | garians stick to their native country in- | stead of becoming American citizens. s"We will always remember, however" | he said "our native country with affec- 1 tion."
 Amid loud cries of "Eljin" and the | playing of the Star spanged Banner" Mir. Braun proposed the Presidents l health.

 The President Speaks.
 The applause was deafenng as the | President arose and faced the crowded room. When silence was obtained he 1 said:

 "It Is a peculiar pleasure for me to be | with you this evening and with greeting l my hosts of the Hungarian republican club. I give utterance to the thought of my fellow guests. Congressman Sulzer
