GOT THERE TOO SOON.
Nobody to Meet President Roosevelt
at Colon Owing to This Fact.

Colon, Nov. 14.-The first trip Of
an American President outside Of the
boundaries of the United States was
successfully concluded this afternoon
at 1880 o'clock when the battleship
Louisiana, having on board President
Roosevelt and party, dropped an
chor in the harbor of Colon. The
Louisiana, which arrived ahead Of
schedule time, was conveyed by the
Tennessee and Washington. The three
vessels anchored about a mile from
the dock during a heavy rainfall.
Owing to the fact that the Louis
lana arrived ahead Of time, neither
President Amador of Panama nor
Chairman Shonts Of the Isthnian ca
nal commission was on hand to vel
come President Roosevelt. They left
Panama at 4:30 o'clock in a special
train for Colon and at $50 tonight
boarded the Louisiana and extended
a cordial greeting to Americas chief
executive. In President Amador's
party, besides Mr.. Shonts, were Chief
Engineer Stevens and Executive Sec
retary Reed of the commission and
Mr.. Squiers, the American minister to
Panama.
During the afternoon, President
Roosevelt received the local newspa-
per correspondents on board the
Louisiana. He said that his voyage
had been pleasant and uneventful,
and expressed himself as gratifed at
the welcome which the citizens OF
the isthmus are preparing for him
when he lands tomorrow. He stated
that he proposed to look into the
Jamaican labor question, and also
intended to see everything possible
concerning the canal.
Extensive preparations have been
taken to protect President Roosevelt
during his three days visit on the
isthmus, and it is reported that a
number Of known anarchists have
been arrested here or at Panama.
All steamers arriving at the 18TH
mus are inspected and suspicious
characters have been imprisoned and
will be held in custody until the
president departs.
President Roosevelt will begin his
tour OF inspection tomorrow, and an
extensive program of official enter
tainrnents has been prepared.

He stated that the work had been

the work done in opening these
streets was approved and the COM

Mr.. Bowman asserted that the most
important matter confronting the
city is the construction Of a sewerage
system, the consideration of which, in
his Judgment, need not be further de-
layed, since the increase Of property
values will enable the council to is
sue $4,000 bonds, the sale Of which,
together with such sums of money as
can be used from the regular income,
will furnish means sufficient to in
stall the necessary system within the
next eighteen months. On Mr.. Bow

that council is now ready to entertain

election to decide the question of

Y. E. Walker requested permission

MARRIAGE in France.

Nine. Belloc-Lowndes says that the
average Frenchman has a totally diff
ferent idea from the average bach
elor as to what should lead to mar
riage. He knows, or believes he
knows, that the violent attraction dig.
nified in that country by the name of
'love" is often a very passing feeling,
and therefore he looks for more last
ing qualities-above all for suitability
of age, good temper, health and many
other minor qualifications which
there play scarcely any part in de.
termining the preliminaries to a mar
riage. He expects that the woman
chosen by him will be able to bear
her part of their future household ex-
penses, but it may be truly said that
the average sensible Frenchman
would far rather have a small dowry
with a pretty, thrifty wife, than a
very large fortune with a plain, ex-
t~ravagant damSel.

Has Acquired Title of "Champion Royal Heart Break

beauties, of the British royal family.
1t was known that Alfonso, smitten
with the charms of Ena, made desper-
ate love and carried on a correspond

Victoria, her aunt.
And when it was announced that
Alfonso was to visit England every
body said 1t was all fixed. Blu. while
in England Alfonso saw the T rincess
Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth of
Connaught, niece of King Edward and
cousin Of Ena. Her father is Prince
Arthur William Patrick Of Connaught
and Strahern.
So the rivalry for Alfonso settled
down between Ena and Patsy" the
two beauties among the English prin-

one asked Alfonso If he was going to

But if the young king was then in
