their Impressions of Mr.. Roosevelt say
that the former president of the Unit.

Emperor William, bearing the impe-

MIR. Roosevelt talked freely, but
principally about himself and his
work, the correspondents say, and he
manifested a disposition to preach"
In his conversation he touched upon
his Knickerbocker ancestry and his
experiences as a ranchman in the Far
West. Turning to politics he said he
had been elected to the presidency as
a representative of honesty against
the power of gold.

probity in private life is indispensable
to public life," Mr.. Roosevelt is quot

Mr.. Roosevelt is further quoted as
having said that the president OF the
United States was more powerful than
any constitutional monarch of Europe.
| He pointed out, the French CORE

power of veto; that he appointed the
entire diplomatic corps and the high

EXCITED OVER
OUR WARSHIPS ON LAKE
Formal Protest Likely to BE Made
Ia United States Over
Fleet Of Fight.

OTTAWA. Ont, June -. The
fact that the United States gun
boat Nashville. which passed through
the Canadian waterway up the Great
Lakes. will make eight American
cruisers there is causing much ad-
verse criticism in the press Of the
Dominion. and 1t is not improbable
that formal protest will be made to
the United States authorities in the
matter
One member OF the federal cab
met, whose attention was drawn TO
the matter expressed the opinion that
the United States government had
exceeded the terms OF the arrange
ment In respect 10 war vessels of the
lakes. He said that the question
would be looked into. The
minister OF railway and canals also
said that permission was given the
American authorities to send up a
vessel last year. but OF the present
sailing through the canals of the
Nashville he heard OF nothing ex-
cept the newspaper report.
At the department of state here
1t was stated that treaty exists
between the United States and Great
Britain as to the maintenance OF war
ships on the Great Lakes. There Is
only one sort OF agreement or under
standing based on an exchange or
letters.
