New YORK, June lS.-NeW YORK,
with its more than four million inhab-
itants, augmented by probably another
million of visitors, Internationally
surrendered to Theodore Roosevelt
when once more he touched American
soil, after an absence of one year and
a few months, today. 1t was a glo-
rious and enthusiastic welcome which
was extended to him and New York
took no pains to disguise the fact that
it is proud of its famous son, the ma
TONS "foremots private citizen" OF
course, it was unavoidable to have
some formal and official features to
the welcome, but they were few and
of short duration and in no way inter
fered with the spontaneous manifesto
tons of popular enthusiasm which re-
NAMED at high tide throughout the
day.
The liner Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
on which Mr.. Roosevelt and his party
crossed the Atlantic, was due to ar
rive at Quarantine at a. M, but sew
eral hours before the appointed hour
navigable craft of every description
began to assemble outside of the mar
rows. By the time ti1as bic lip;1r
reached Qnarantine
many hundreds of steamers, yachts,
tugs, launches and other craft dotting
the water, making it somewhat diff
cult for the four revenue cutters de-
tailed to carry out the official part Of
the program, to make their way to
the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria without
causing an accident.
The four revenue cutters started
from their dock at the Battery short
ly after 8 o'clock. First came the
Androscoggin with the reception COM
mittee on board; then the Mohawk
with a delegation of congressman and
other distinguished persons; next the
Manhattan bearing a large number of
personal friends and relatives of Mr..
Roosevelt and finally the swift Sen
eca, with the newspaper men and pho
tographers. The small flotilla steam
ed down the bay, carefully threading
its way among the hundreds of YES
sells bound in the same direction.
1t was shortly after o'clock when
the cutter of the reception committee
arrived at the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria and a few minutes later the tug
Dalzelline, the flagship of Commodore
Fred B. Dalzell'in command of the well
coming fleet and naval parade, gave
three long blasts as signal that Mr..
Roosevelt had boarded the Andres
