RAIN STOPS THE HUNTING
PRESIDENT is KEPT IN HIS CAMP
BY WET WEATHER.
No Bear Have Been Sighted Yet,
Though the Dogs Struck a
Promising Trail.

Stamboul, La, Oct. 9.-Secretary
Latta returned Tuesday from his visit
to the president in the latter's camp
on the Tensas river, bringing with
him batch of newly-dictated letters
and recollections of very wet night
spent in camp.
He said that Mondays rain was
even more than was bargained for
and that while the first effect was to
put the woods in good condition, they
became SO wet by two o'clock that
the party was compelled to return to
camp, The rain, which had begun
early in the day, continued throughout
the night and it was decided not to
venture out at all Tuesday, owing to
the water in the canebrake.
No one has yet sighted bear, but
the dogs found trail Monday and
the professional hunters expressed
the belief that the baying meant they
had located real bear. 1t was dark
however, and it became necessary to
call the hunt off. The president puts
in much of his time when not engaged
in the hunt in reading. and in conver.
sation with his associates and the
guides and hunters who accompany
them.

FIRST TEST RIDE IS TAKEN
ARMY OFFICERS MAKE TRYING
"HlKE" IN VIRGINIA.
Twenty-Nine Are In the Party and Al
Seem to Stand the Or
deal Well.

Washington, Oct 9.--The first test
ride by army officers. which was or
dered by President Roosevelt to deter
mine the horsemanship of those Of
higher rank than captain, started
from Fort Myer at two p. m. Tuesday.
and two and half hours later the
party, 80 In number, was back at the
fort, having traversed something over
is miles of good and bad Virginia
roads.
There were no spills from the sad
die, the nearest approach to casual
ties being split riding hTeeches caused
by two officers having taken on more
than their share of ayoirdupois during
long detail at desks at the war de-
partment. On the whole the officers,
some of whom had not ridden horse
back before for number of years,
seemed to enjoy the hike" and made
of 1t pleasant outing Gen. 5Duvall,
acting chief of the general staff. who
led the cavalcade, was much pleased
with the showing made. 1t was
feared that some of the officers, ad-
vanced In years and soft from desk
work, would suffer seriously from the
enforced ride and it was predicted
that some of them might be mustered
out of the army as a result. Whether
anything of this kind happens will de-
pend upon physical examinations
made after the ride was over. The
results of these examinations will not
be made public at this time.
Newspaper men participated in the
ride and others followed in automo-
biles, but those who went to scoff
were disappointed, as most of the of.
ficers showed the effect of training
Several of them admitted that for the
last three weeks they had been pre-.
pairing for the hike" and 1t is known
that some placed themselves under
the guidance of riding masters.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Tackles Deep Waterway Problem and
Favors New Primary Law.

Springfield, III, Oct. 9.-After a
short session this morning both houses
of the legislature resolved themselves
into committee of the whole for the
consideration of the deep waterway
legislation and other matters referred
to in the governors message. The
probable plan OF the committees will
be to appoint a deep waterway com
mission and to leave the question to
it for solution, The bill for the sani-
tory district which is before both
houses win be killed, as the country
members are opposed to any extern
sion of the drainage canal through
Joliet. There is a growing sentiment
fayoring primary legislation following
the recent supreme court decisions
nullifying the law passed by the last
assembly,

RECEIVE DENEENs MESSAGE.
Illinois Lawmakers Also Are Scolded
by Lieutenant Governor.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct Gov. De
neen submitted to the adjourned ses-
sion of the legislature Tuesday spe.
cial message in which he recommend
ed the passage of deep waterways legis.
lation and a new primary law. He
also called the attention of the mem.
bers Of the assembly to several re.
forms which he advocated last spring,
but which never got beyond the com.
mittee rooms.
Gov. Deneen's message, which was
considered extraordinary, was preced.
ed by one from Lieut.. Gov. Sherman
rebuking the assembly for alleged in
efficiency and double-dealing in con.
neetion with the passage of the pri-
mary law, which has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
The lieutenant governor charged that
the measure was passed with full
knowledge on the part CT the legisla.
tors OF its weakness and imperfec.
tions.
In the afternoon and evening the
deep waterways proposition was dis.
cussed by the Chicago sanitary dis.
trict and by citizens OF Joliet, repre-.
senting rival interests.
Democratic members of the house
have practically agreed to support a
direct primary bill, although no formal
action was taken Tuesday. At a sen.
atorial caucus during the afternoon il
was decided to take up only subjects
which were included in the governor
message, and to permit no other new
legislation.
