OF HONEYMOON TRIP.

POLITICAL ARENA ONE OF
UNsoLVEU PROBLEMS.

Genoa, April 9.-The sentimental
pilgrimage OF Mr.. Roosevelt and his
wife, on which it had been intended
bv the couple to retrace by easy
stages their honeymoon trip from
Spezi to Genoa. ended abruptly mere
Yesterday afternoon, "a hours ahead
of schedule.
The change was made in order to
avoid the constantly increasing DEM
onstrations that Mr.. Roosevelt and
his wife were encountering along the
road. At every little village or
crossroads they were met by men,
women and children, the former with
flags and the latter with bouquets. AS
an instance of the demonstrations, SIX
hundred persons, many OF them Amer
leans. acclaimed Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Roosevelt with yivas and hur-
rahs as they left Rapallo, where they
had luncheon yesterday. This was
the climax to their embarrassments,
and Mr.. Roosevelt gave orders to be
driven direct to Genoa.
The people and press of Genoa
have manifested the most intense in
terest in the movements of Mr.. Roose-
welt. His second honeymoon journey
stirred their romantic nature to a
high pitch and the big crowd hur-
ried to his hotel and with cheering
and waving of hats greeted the ar
rival of his carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt were smil-
ing when they descended at the hotel
entrance. They said they had en-
ioyed the trip hugely. Mr.. Roosevelt
said he had had a bully time. The
project and mayor of Genoa called on
Mr.. Roosevelt and last night Mr.
Roosevelt and wife dined quietly.
Today the Rooseyelts will continue
the journey by train to Port Maurizlo
where they will visit Miss Carew
Mrs .Roosevelt's sister, who has a
villa there The inhabitants have
planned elaborate festivities. but the
chief interest in their stay will be the
visit here on Monday of Clifford Pin
chot, former chief forester of the
United States. 1t is quite certain
that the visit of Mn Pinchot will not
be followed by sensational develop
ments evidently anticipated in some
quarters Mr.. Roosevelt has an
nounced in advance that he will have
nothing to say after the interview.
He continues to maintain silence
on political affairs. He has kept post
ed upon what transpired during his
absence and with regard to the pres
ent actual political situation at home
Without bias he is ready to listen to
friend or foe.
Accordingly Mr.. Roosevelt willingly
acceded to Mr.. Pinchot's request for
an interview. Mr.. Pinchot is expect
ed to explain his side of the series OF
events that led up to his dismissal by
Mr.. Taft In the same way Mr.
Roosevelt expects to see other friends
both in Europe and America.
Mr. Roosevelt continues to express
regret over the inability of Senator
Root to come TO Europe to meet him
as from the senator he would have
been able to obtain a sympathetic ex,
position of the administrations side
of affairs.
1t is said that by letter or other
wise. since he returned to civillza
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt has had from ar
dent supporters and admirers in the
United States, good deal of sharp
criticism of the Taft administration
II is believed also tat he mad re
ceived appeals urging the necessity OF
re-entry into the political arena. II
this be so, Mr.. Roosevelt has not
given the slightest intimation oil
( what impression they have made.
