reached the hunting grounds and to-
night he will spend his first night in
Africa under canvas. A big camp has
been established near the railroad sta
ton here for the Roosevelt expedition
and last night lions We're prowling
about in the vicinity of the tents. The
country is green, owing to the recent
rains, and there is every prospect Of
good sport. The commoner varieties of
game are plentiful and huntsmen will
lose no time in getting started on their
shooting trips.
The special train bearing the Roose-
welt party from Mombasa arrived here
at 40 O'clock this afternoon. Only the
members of the party got off at kapiti
Plains F.. l.. jackson, the acting gov
ernor of the protectorate. and the other
officials who came up from Mombasa
continued on to Nairobi.
The camp established for the former
President Of the United States is most
elaborate. The caravan will have a to-
tai of $50 followers. There are Is tents
for the Europeans and their horses and
&C tents for the porters. An American
flag is lying over the tent TO be oc
cupi1d by. Mr. Roosevelt
All the native Dorters of the eXpe-
dition We're lined up on the platform
when the train pulled in and as Mr..
Rooso welt stepped down from the train
they shouted a salute in his honor. In
reply Mr. Roosevelt raised his hat.
Mr.. Roosevelt was welcomed at the
station by Sir Alfred Pease, who will
be his host at his ranch on the Athi
river Mr.. Roosevelt is dressed today
in q khaki suit and I white helmet.
The weather is bright and warm.

or Of the engine when the train pulled

ested in the country and expressed his

Is Assured in the Near
Future for Lewiston.
Combination That Is Going
/. Ahead With the Project:
A Plant Expected That Will Employ
5000 to 1000 People.

Lewiston, Me, April 23.-(SpeciaD.-
Business men here are elated over the
prospect of a new cotton mill being
built in this city. 1t is believed that
the purchase by the Androscoggin,
Bates and other corporations of the
control of the Lewiston Bleachery and
Dye Works makes this possible. The
new company now has the control of an
elegant site for new mill. 1t is known
that both the Androscoggin and the
Bates have large surplus and this
extra dividends or else put into new
mill.
1t is now known that, had the right
to take water from the Rangeley lakes
been obtained from the Legislature
two years ago. a new mill would prob
ably have been built before this The
cppostion to the lowering of the dam
al the Ranyeleys stopped plans which
were underway The last Legislature,
however, granted the right for the
building of a storage system in the
Magalloway region. and when that is
done there will be no lack of water to
run the industries already built along
the Androscoggin river and many new
ones.
The purchase of needed property for
the building of a mill now makes the
enterprise practically assured. A man
who is conversant with the plans of the
mill owners said today:
IN my opinion a new mill is to be
built here in the near future. When
plans which are matured are carried
out there will be no lack of water to
furnish the power and l know that the
capital for the construction OF mali
is available The building of mills In
the South has not proved to be salts
factory and the cotton mill business is
again working towards the North. It
has been fully demonstrated that the
New England territory is the place

The announcement that Rev. Wilbur

at Readfield, had been appointed sec
rotary of the Christian Civic League

gle of this city, was made Friday. This

tered upon the work May l of that
year. He edited the Civic League Her
aid and by efficient personal influence
rendered the cause important service
He held that position until elected
president of the Maine Wesleyan Sem
mary. He was succeeded by Rev. Hen
~ \. Pringle.
Hon. Horace Purinton, one of the di-
rectCrS of the league, stated Friday
evening that Mr. Pringle was not de-
posed, as had been reported, unless he
had deposed himself. He further stat
cd that there was no truth in the cur
rent reports that Mr.. Pringle was asked
to resign on account of the recent ac-
tion taken by former county attorneys
in returning indictments agaist him
for libel and SANDER; but that Rev.
Mr. Berry had been induced to take up
the work which he so well carried on
in former years and that he had con-
entcd.
Rev. Fl. n. Pringle in an interview
stated the same facts. He stated that
he had not been displaced by Rev Mr..
Berry, nut would continue as assistant
secretary, which position he filed when
Mr. Berry was formerly at the head of
the League.
Il have been working for a long
time stated Mr.. Pringle, "to secure
the appointment of Rev. Mr.. Berry to
be ut the head of this work, and itS
would hardly seem that / was being
displaced. He is my senior in the work
and it would be improper to have him
come here and labor under me. | Will

tinuing the erection of his $40, 100000
technical schools there. Four of the 10
schools have been erected at IL cost of
$1,000, 900 each, and it was fully eX
pectcd that Mr. Carnegie would, at the

nounce the gift Of another million dol
lars for an additional building, but
nothing has been done, and work will

61st CONGRESS-.
Numerous Requests to
Pass Various Schedules
Made in Senate, as Tariff
Bill Discussion Goes On.
Every Section Of Country Has Its
Own Particular Wants.

Washington, April 23-The first read
ing of the tariff bill for the consider
alton of committee amendments was
concluded when the Senate adjourned
today. According to an agreement made
wnen the reading was begun, every
paragraph of the entire bill will be
subject to amendment when it is talk
en- up for final consideration Monday.
While the whole measure is thus sub
iect to further revision, all concede
that substantial progress has been
made. There will be no return to many
of the schedules.
There was comparatively little de-
bate "m the measure today, as Senator
Aldrich postponed his replies to many
questions in order to hasten the con-
clusion Of the reading of the measure,
saying that he would make full eXpla
nations when the various amendments
received final consideration. Many pro-
visions, including the wood pulp and
wool schedules We're today passed over
on specific objections.
Washington, April 23.-The reading
of the tariff bill being resumed in the
Senate today, numerous requests We're
made on the part of both Republicans
aud Democrats for the passing over
various schedules although an agree
rent had been previously made that
such action was not necessary in or
der to permit a senator to enter and
obtain vote on anN amendment
Nearly every senator both of the ma
jorty and minority parties, was in his
place and every one followed the read
ing of the bill with interest.
McLaurin, Miss, requesting that va
riCus schedules under the head of ag-
riculture be passed over. Aldrich ask
ed Whether he did not wish to make q
similar request in respect to rice, the
duty on WHICH the finance committee
had allowed to stand at two cents per
pound as passed by the House. Nc
Laurin said he had not referred to
that paragraph because no change had
been made in il, so, he added, there
is nothing at which the gentlemen can
allow his risibics to rise"
"Thcrc is nothing under the agri-
cultural schedules that is so high as
the duty on rice" suggested Aldrich
''Still We might amend the schedule"
said McCunlber, smiling.
Let it be passed" interposed Gal
linger, With a significant glance toward
the Democratic side.
Notice that the committee would
bring into the Senate All amendment
making duties on pearls, diamonds and
other precious stones specific instead
of ad valoreln was given by Aldrich.
