OF the party was completely exhausted
and the food was running low. In the
terrible heat men aud beasts wanted
water badly.
Judge their dismay when they
reached Camp Plains TO find that the

animals was completely dried up. IL
was too late for the party to proceed
onward and the men and beasts were
too tired, even had 1t been practicable
to go on toward water.
After pitching camp Saturday night
the members OF the party set out In
all directions in the vain hope OF find
ing a pool from which enough water
could be secured TO tide them over
night. The search was fruitless and
the members OF the party, with
parched threats, were compelled 10
go to bed thirsty. Sunday was a
typical hot day in East Africa but
there was no rest for the Roosevelt
party, which had TO hurry on to water.
II was then that Cunninghame. trav-

the party and hurried on to secure
water and hurry back TO the party.
Col. Roosevelt and his larger party
followed more slowly and for time II
seemed they must spend another day
under the sitting African sun without
water, or at least until Cunninghame
should return.
Fortunately late Sunday afternoon.
before Cunninghame returned, the
party came upon a pool from which
they secured fairly good drinking
water. There was a hurried halt
while the porters built fires and
though the members OF the party and
I the porters felt almost famished Col.
Roosevelt would not permit them 10
drink until the water had been boiled.
While the members of the party were

suffered considerable inconvenience
and pain from thirst.
Today Col. Roosevelt laughs at the
experience.

sentiment revealed even wider dsaffection than
has hitherto been apparent. The President was
50 concerned over the reports which have
reached him in the last twenty-four hours that
he summoned the House leaders to the White
House and had a brief conference with them
urging on them the necessity of expedition in
the consideration by the House Of the Payne
bill
Speaker Cannon and Representatives Payne,
Dalzell and Dwight responded to the call Of the
President. and assured him they were doing all
in their power 10 expedite the consideration Of
the bill. They suggested that, in view of the
disaEection in the Republican ranks, he could
probably assist them greatly by reasoning with
recscitrant Republicans who place their indi-
vidlal fortunes above the interests Of their
party and who refuse in some instances, to
vote for rule or TO enter party caucus
President Taft declined to commit himself as
10 his future policy in this regard. He repeated
what he has said IN the past regarding the
Congress taking care Of its troubles, and
reminded the leaders that he had scrupulously
kept out of the fight, although he anxious
that in so far as possible, they should expedite

ber coal and tin plate but finally agreed TO

The Michigan delegation decided TO oppose the
