and asked how long it would be
before dinner was ready. During
the forty-four years of his absence
lie had drifted pretty nearly over
the world.

foot of the avenue of presidents, stands
the imposing Washington monument.

Lincoln and Grant.

'The first time it was my pleasure
to meet Lincoln" General Horace Por-
ter said recently, ''he had summoned
Grant to Washington to place him in
command of the armies of the entire
republic. Grant came into the room
late, jostled by persons who thought
themselves of great Importance. Lin
coin spied him at once, and, turning tc
Mrs. Lincoln, he exclaimed: '"There he
is now. My dear, this is the man who
is to end all our troubles" They were
strange picture as they stood there
side by side, Lincoln and Grant the
latter short of stature, his head bowed
and in dusty garments, Lincoln tower
ing above him, his great right hand
clasping that of General Grant, talking
to him as father might to his son.

Some Queer Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life Is
the solar, or whistling tree, of Nubia.
When the winds blow oveI this tree
1t gives out futelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at q
time strange, weird melodies. 1t is the
spirits of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad Of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines Of the branches.
The weeping tree Of the Canary is
lands is another arboreal freak. This
tree in the driest weather will rain
down showers from it's leaves, and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot Of the trunk
and find it pure and fresh. The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base OF the
leaves.

OF grated chocolate; add two tablespoon
fuls dissolved gelatin boiling hot,
strain and let cool; pour this over the
cake and fruit in the mold, seal careful
ly and pack in ice. When turned out it
makes beautiful dish. Serve with
whipped cream sweetened and favored

sTRATHCoNA NOT IMPLICATED
Canadian Peer Says That Certain

London, May 29.-In the house Of

scandals, and asked if the charges i'm
plicated Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal, the Canadian high commission
er, and whether the government pro-
posed to sever relations with the Ca

Walter Ruciman, parliamentary sec

replied that Lord Strathcona had in
formed the colonial secretary that the
charges did not implicate him in any
way, either personally or in his capac-
ity as high commissioners The colon
ial secretary therefore did not propose
to make any representations to Canada
on the subject.

or the government shall pay for the
inspection service. 1t seems a fore
gone conclusion that they will decide
that Uncle Sam should pay for the
work" Beveridge believes it more
practicable for the packers to pay the
expenses of the inspection provided for
in the amendment than for the gov
eminent to pay them. He points out
that the expense will not exceed )
cents on a carcass of beef and 8 cents
on a carcass of hog. While the aggre-
gate of expense will probably be ST.
100000 a year, it will he so widely
distributed that it will not fall as a
burden on the packers.

passed upon the claim but no law

If They Don't, Then the PigeOnhOle-
Conferrees on the Rate Bill
Meet - Senate's ''MOnu-
mental Folly"

Washington, May 29.-An important
conference was held at the White
House regarding the meat inspection
amendment of Senator Beveridge, Of
indiana, to the agricultural appropria-
ton bill. The president discussed the
question with Senator Carter, of Mon
tana, and Professor Charles p. Neill,
commissioner of labor, who investt-
gated certain packing houses, and lat
er talked over the matter with Bev-
eridge. A part of the information, col
lated by Professor Neill and James B.
Reynolds, of New York, who colabor-
ated with Professor Neill, has been
reduced to concrete form, but the in
formation in its entirety is not in the
form of official reports. 1t is not the
present intention of President Roose-
welt to make public this information.
He does not regard it as official, in
the same sense that term ordinarily
is employed -.z-..a -..~I r~~-,
Position of the President.
At the conclusion of the conference
Carter dictated the following state
ment bearing upon the presidents at
tltude: "The meat inspection amend
ment placed on the agricultural bill
has met with the opposition of the
packers and their friends, who seem
to be bending every effort to defeat it.
The president says that if the amend
ment is enacted into law he will be
content to remedy the evils complained
of there through the law. If, however,
the amendment is defeated he will feel
constrained in the discharge of his Of
fetal duty to the public to send to con-
gress the reports in his possession re-
lating to the abuses existing in the
packing houses.
Why He Opposes Publicity.
HE feels that it is better to refrain
from making the reports public, not
through any regard for the beef
packers particularly, but because an
official tatement of the facts would

try, thus making them innocent vic

The question is again up with the
appropriations committees of both
houseaandI senate as to whether the
government should pay the travelling
expenses3of the president. The idea
that president should be the guest
Of the railroads or pay the expenses of
his trips out Of his own pocket, doesn't
commend itself5to the majority, 1t is
maintained that when president &C
cepts an invitation to visit any city in
the country for any purpose, he is act
ing in the interest of all the people
and his expenses should not be i'm
posed upon him. President Roosevelt
has indicated that he does not expect
to make many trips during the bal
ance of his term. UP to this time he
has been one Of the greatest travellers
who has ever occupied the white
house. Mckinley travelled extensive
" but Roosevelt has exceeded him by
many thousands of miles. If congress
should favor the plan of paying ex-
penses, it is regarded as likely that in
the future presi dents will keep in
close touch with the people by trips
to various parts of the. United States.

The happiest and most honored man
who has been in Washington for a
long time is General Horace Porter,
former ambassador to France. Through
his untiring efforts, the body of John
Paul Jones was located in a Paris
cemetery and brought to this country.
For such services congress has given
Gen. Porter a vote of thanks. This
is indeed a high honor. Admiral
Dewey was the last person to receive
it and before that, aside from army
and heroes, the last resolution of this
character was passed during the civil
war, when Commodore Vanderbilt
was thanked for presenting a ship to
the nation. Henry M. Stanley also
received the honor as. reward for
his explorations in Africa. General
Porter now has the privilege of going
on the floor of either the house CT
senate while it is in session.

It is not always the case that the
people around the white house know
where the president is to be found or
where he is going. Last Saturday, the
president, accompanied by Mrs. Roose-
welt, quietly slipped away and drove
down to the navy yard where the naval
yacht Sylph was boarded for cruise
down the Potomac. No one around
the executive mansion knew where
the president was until hours after
ward, when by that time the SyIph
was several miles down the river. Be-
fore the boat started and while await
ing supply of provisions, which had
been delayed, the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt strolled about the deck,
chatted with the officers and men and
made themselves comfortable. Sun
day was quietly spent aboard the boat
and early Monday morning found the
president at his seat in the white
house office, hard at work but thor
oughly refreshed by his brief cutting

The appointment division of the
pension office has been abolished.
This was made necessary because Of
the fact that no new clerks are needed
to carry on the work. Even with the
increasing number of applications for
pensions and for increase in pensions.
the present force of the Office will be
able to handle the business for some
time o come. The pension list is de-
creasing at an alarming rate. If it
continues to fall as rapidly as it did
last month, the entire roster will be
wiped out in nineteen years.
Commissioner Warner in talking
about the matter with your correspon-
dent, said that during the last thirty
days taps we're sounded for more than
three thousand veterans. This is the
largest decrease in the number of
pensioners in one month in the history
of the office and leaves 81, 900 yet on
the roll. The commissioner was proud
of the fact that the work of his de.
partment was pretty well up to date.
