Roosevelt Ends Hunting Trip.

Gondkoro, Soudan, Feb.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Con-
dokoro and the African hunting trip
was at an end. All the members of
the party were in good health and de-
clared that the hunting of the last ten
days, which took the expedition over
an exceedingly difficult stretch of
land, was one of the most enjoyable
parts of the entire trip.
The party was met by brass band
Chief Keriba's group of bulgers,
headed by their leaders-fifteen miles
out and the blasts from the horns
gave the word that the former Presi-
dent had reached the end of his trail.
The band broke into America" as
the townspeople turned out in force.
After it came a big stars and stripes
borne by porter, and then the cara
van, the native porters bringing up
the rear.
There was a big file of mail await
ing Mr., Roosevelt and within a short
time he had plunged into it.
From here he will go down the
Bar-El-Jabel and the Nile to Khar-
toum, where Mrs. Roosevelt will meet
him. Then on to Cairo and to Europe
is the itinerary.
In the hunting trip the Smithsonian
African expedition gathered nearly
10000 vertebrates, thousands OF
plants, as many more invertebrates
and made $500 photos. Some of the
rarest specimens ever shot appear in
the list.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Americans
must be a thirsty nation judging from
the imports as set forth in a state
ment just issued by the bureau OF
statistics of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor. The United States
drank the essence Of more than a
billion pounds Of coffee in 1909, val
ued at So million dollars. That was
about a dollars worth Of coffee for
every person in the United States.
Tea is not such a favorite. Only a
little more than a hundred million
pounds, valued at about.16 million
dollars came in.
But in spirits, wines and malt
liquors the nation touched its highest
record for importation in 1909, and
consumed foreign products OF that
kind to the value Of more than Is mil
lion dollars, more than twice as much
as was imported IN 1889.
