Carlo, March 23-Col. Roosevelt and his
party left Luxor tonight and they will
travel direct to this city, When they
arrive they will stop at Shepherds Hotel.
Great disappointment is felt by the people
as Assioot. 1t was hoped that Col. Roose-
yelt would break his journey there and
take part in the opening of the new
American mission.
Extensive preparations had been made
to receive him, but as the Khediye had
arranged to receive him in special aud

The keenest interest is being mani
tested in the former Presidents visit to
Cairo. where a splendid reception awaits
him by his feIlow-countrymen. with
whom Cairo is now crowded
Talks at Mission school.
Col Roosevelts visit to the American
Mission School here to-day was. for the
Ipublie. at any rate, the most interesting
incident OF his stay at Luxor. A great
number OF native children, lined up in
rows. sang for the visitors Their dark
skins and bright eyes contrasted p-ettily
with their gay garments. making an at
tractive picture.
Many native women were present, and
they peered with eager curiosity above
their wells at the American King" al
ways drawing their wells closer if they
saw any Of the men accompanying the
visitors gazing at them.
Col. Roosevelt addressed the gathering
in happily worded epigrammatic
speech. He said. among other things.
that, as an American, he felt mighty
well pleased TO see what his fellow
lcountrymen and countrywomen were do
ing to help Egypt along the path Of
progress on which she has been travel
ing for the last quarter of a century.
He was especially glad that so much
attention was being devoted to educat-
ing girls.
1t was going to be more and more
realized that it was impossible to raise
one part OF humanity while neglecting
the other. 1t was idle to try to improve
man unless woman was uplifted at the
same time. and this was not a mere mat
ter of duty and principle. II was also a
matter of self-interest. Man could not
rise If woman was drag on him.
Col. Roosevelt seems 20 fear from the
news reaching him that the impression
is growing that he is travelling in a sort
of official capacity as a representative
of the United States. He wants the
public everywhere in Europe TO recog-
nize that he is travelling solely as a prI-
vate citizen.
