Will Go to Africa for Big Game
Next Spring.
ENDS BIRD TERN TALK.
Expects to Spend a Year in the
Jungles.
Bring Back Specimens Of All
African Big Game.
DIS 3RD TERN TALK.

Washington, June .5.-Important
significance in connection with Presi-
dent Rooseveh's determination against
third term is contained in the ad-
mission made today for the first time
that the president is making definite
plans to leave the United States in
April next year for Africa, where he
will spend a year hunting big game.
Rumors that Mr.. Roosevelt was to
leave the country at the conclusion Of
his term Of Office have been printed
heretofore. When confirmation was
sought at the White House, the answer
has been made that no. definite con-
clusion has been made as to the presi-
dents plans, but today 1t was stated
positively that Mr.. Roosevelt with his
son, Kermit. would sail from New
York for Cairo in April, 1903. just as
soon as the necessary arrangement for
the departure could be made after the
fourth of March. 1t is the desire Of
the president to bring back at the end
of the year from the wilds of Africa
specimens Of every species Of big
game to be had on the dark continent.
He will visit noN other country, it is
stated.
The outfit for the expedition will be
obtained on reaching Africa, but an
active correspondence in this connec-
ton already is under. way. The exact
size of the hunting party. number of
guides and retainers, animals, ETC.,
has not yet been determined upon.
The president will take with him an
assortment Of arms, which he will re-
quire in the variety Of hunting con-
templated. This outfit will include, OF
course, guns Of the highest power.
During the absence of Mr.. Roose-
Welt in Africa, Mrs. Roosevelt and
other members of the family will re-
main at the family home at Sycamore
Hill, Oyster Bay.

Mr., ROOSEVELT FIRM.
The President Assures Governor
Glenn He Will Retire.

Washington, June Ex-Governor R. B.
Glenn of North Carolina, who conceiv-
ed the idea of a society of governors
during the recent White House con-
gress and thereby became a conspic-
uouS figure in that notable gathering,
was among those who paid their re-
spects to the president yesterday. AL
though Governor Glenn is Democrat
and an ardent supporter of Mr.. Bryan,
he is nevertheless an admirer of Mr..
Roosevelt and he took occasion to as
sure the president that if the next oc-
cupant of the White House is to be a
Republican no one would be more ac-
ceptable to him than Mr.. Roosevelt
himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt thanked North Caro-
lina's governor for his expressions or
good will, but reiterated his deter
mination to become a private citizen

New York, June 5.-John Hays Ham
mond, the mining engineer who recent
ly announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for the vice presi-
dency. has severed his connection with
the Guggenheimer Exploration COM
pany, according to a statement from
his attorney published here. Mr.. True
slow said in his announcement that Mr.
Hammond now feels free to make an
aggressive campaign for the vice pres
idential nomination.
Representatives Parsons and Bennett
have returned from Washington, bring
ing the news that Vice President Fair
banks and Secretary Cortelyou are the
leading candidates. so far as Washing
ton is concerned. for the vice presiden-
tial nomination They also brought
the news that Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge is to be the permanent chairman
OF the Chicago convention.
Messrs. Parsons and Bennett are
close personal friends of the president
and the administration leaders, and the
news they brought greatly interested
local Republicans.
Assuming that the choice for second
place lies between the vice president
and the secretary of the treasury, the
booms of Representative James 5.
Sherman and Timothy L. Woodruff are
shelved for the time being. Mr.. Sher-
man said the other day that so long as
Governor Hughes was a candidate for
the first place on the ticket he was for
him, and that talk of himself for the
second place was, therefore, out of the
question.

Make of Dreyfus Attack.
Whether 1t Was Act of Insane
Man Or Plot.
X o Y YALIST APPEAL.
Suggest Turning to the Duke Of
Orleans.
March Dreyfus to the Execution
Block.
ROYALIST APPEAL

Paris, June 5.-Whether Yesterdays
attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus
was but the individual act of a man
believing himself to have been an out
cipient Nationalist plot, the Republi-
can press is unanimous in deploring
the incident and believes it injured
rather than aided that cause. Even
those papers which doubted the wis
dom of burying Emile Zola in the Pan
theon think that the shooting of Major
Dreyfus consolidated the Republican
sentiment and they evidently desire to
see the incident die out as quickly as
possible. An attempt to reopen the
old Dreyfus issue at the trial of Louis
Gregoris, the man who shot the major
they point out will be plainly ex-
traneOuS.
On the other hand the fury of the
Nationalist papers is unbounded
L'Action Franchise fires a broadside
which recalls the most exciting days of
Dreyfus and Boulanger. At the head
of its columns this newspaper prints a
statement by Charles Maureras, which
it is likely the authorities will investi-
gate. In this article the writer says
that on Wednesday night "a resolute
patriot" visited M. Daudete and Lieut..
Boisfieury and himself offered to kill
Dreyfus. but his proposal was rejected.
A leading editorial in this paper ap-
peals to the country to turn to the
cludes with these WORDS:
DO you desire that Zola's body be
elected from the Pantheon?
do you desire to march Dreyfus to
| the execution block? If so invoke your
| king"
| The decision of the court Of cassa-
| ton to cut off the time for an appeal,
| the paper says, is illegal, and it con-
| cludes it's article as follows:
| What we ask for Dreyfus is not
six balls from a revolver, but the Il
| bullets of the execution squad"
| Other newspapers declare that
Gregoris much grieved at the recent
| death of his mother, has lately mani
| tested signs of mental arrangement.
| Gregoris sister said today that her
brother latterly had displayed symp-
| toms of melancho1ia.
The authorities are pursuing their
| investigation with the view of deter
| mining whether there is plot be-
hind the attempt of yesterday.
| The bullet in Major Dreyfus arm
| has not been definitely located. The
| doctors bulletin issued today says
| Dreyfus condition is satisfactory.

Taft would favor him for the vice
presidential nomination said that he
knew nothing about the move and
could not refuse what had not been

that his seat in the senate which he
holds until 1918, is comfortable enough
to suit him.
"I would not want to belittle the
honor of being vice president" he said.

at two o'clock indicate that the banks
of the Kaw will contain the flood wa
ters which are being emptied into the
stream west OF Topeka.
The river has been steadily rising for

will continue to rise until Sunday morn
