PRESIDENT HOME AGAIN.

1 Greeting to Mrs. Mckinley. | WASHINGTON, May 12.-President Roosevelt arrived here at midnight and
 will rest after his long journey from
 the Colorado hunting grounds before
 taking up the burden of official life
 once more.
 The president left the train immedi- ately after 1t rolled into the station. He shook hands with train employees,
 newspaper men and others who greet
 ed him. Then, with Mir. Lambert, he
 stepped into his carriage and was driv-
 en to the White House. Marshal Pal.
 mer of the District of Columbia and
 Assistant Secretary Barnes of the
 SEhttel House executive stan were at
 the station to meet the president. J
 Mir. Clifford Pinchot, chief of the gov.
 ernment forestry bureau, was the pres.
 ident's guest from Chicago.
 The president regards his trip as one of the most enjoyable journeys he has taken since he has been president. He travelled COOS 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, Ncbras- ka and Iowa. Every state and terri- tory in the United States, except Flori- da and Arkansas, have been visited by Mir. Roosevelt since he became presi- dent, and it is his intention to accept the hospitality of these states before his term is finished. It is probable that he will make q tour of the south some time before the convening of congress fin the fall of this year. The demon strations at every point where the pres ident spoke are said by the ofIlcial member of the party to have been the heartiest that have ever been accorded him on any trip.
 , The president was particularly pleas- cd 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 car, Rocket, that he never enjoyed anything more than the dinners they have prepared for him.
 The president was much disappoint- cd because no arrangements had been made to have the special train stop at O.. where letter was dropped on at the station to be delivered to Mrs. Mckinley. The greeting from President Roosevelt to the widow of | the former president said:
