ed regarding the alleged attempt Of
Pope Plus TO intervene to save the life
OF Francisco Ferrer, the Vatican today

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 14.--Presi-
dent Taft's toast TO the Portola festi-
val, to which rulers and diplomats
the world over win drink at noon on
October 10. when the festival viii be

reads as follows:
since PortoIa looked through the
golden gate on the descending sun,
san Francisco has twice become the
imperial city Of the Pacific first by
the energy OF a pioneer race and
steady growth into a metropolis, and
second. after the complete destruction
by the greedy flames and in the face
of seemingly insurmOuntab bic OBJ
stacles, by a regeneration so rapid
and complete as 10 be the wonder Of
the world. May her future growth
be as remarkable as her past, and
may her civic righteousness and the
individual happiness of her citizens
keep pace with it.
Gaspar Portola discovered San
Francisco bay in 1863, and ii Is in his
honor that the festival is to be given.

Politics In Their Letters.

Roosevelt has no knowledge whatever

pIaved I'm this country at this time. In
tbis statement can be found the answer
20 the frequently expressed surprise
that the former president has 50 COM
nIctelv enaced himself for the time be-
ing from the political scrimmage.
So determined IS Colonel Roosevelt
tIpon adheriug 10 his plan, that to the
few friends with whom he has carried
on a limited correspondence since
reaching Africa he has sent requests
that no mention whatever be made of
political conditions here.
It is ROoseyelt's plans to have sum-
paries Of all the political events Of the

Through one Of the correspondents sent
to Africa with the former President,

Iutely the statement made in a Greater
New York paper last evening that he
IS giving his attention to the present
fight
While it may be true. as stated, that
Roosevelt engineered the recent Hearst

having nothing to do with the execu-
tiou Of the scheme.
