LOOKS TO ROOSEVELT.
Gov. Hadley Expects Him to Announce
Republican Policies.

St. Louis. June 17.-That Theodore
Roosevelt will announce the policy of
the Republican party on which the
next campaigns will be conducted as
soon as he arrives on the American
shore was the declaration made by
Governor Herbert S. Hadley here at
a BANQUET of Republican clubs.
In his speech Governor Hadley re-
ferred to insurgency in the Republican
party several times. The strongest
part of his speech and that which
brought forth furious applause was his
mention OF Roosevelt.
ST expect" said the governor, i'm
mediately upon the return to our
shores, our greatest political genius
this country has ever produced, as
well as the first citizen of the world
today, to hear from the lips of Theo-
dore Roosevelt an announcement OF
the policies of the Republican party,
which can be adopted by all.
Prior to 1896, the Republican party
was one of progress, but at that time
1t became the conservative party, and
remained SO until 1901. when it came
under the domination of Theodore
Roosevelt. At that time it became a
party of radicalsm and I hope TO see
it continue SO in the future

for the reception in earnest today. De-
spite rain and clouds, the decorating
of the city for the event went steadily

the best proof of this. Even far away
Alaska loomed up large when word
was received from Governor Clark of
that territory that former Governor
Hoggett will arrive here in time to
represent him in the ceremonies.
Former Governor Benjamin B.
Odell has announced here that he has
declined to serve on the committee to
receive Colonel Roosevelt appointed by
Chairman Timothy l.. Woodruff of the
Republican state committee. He had
no explanations to make.

MEDIATION FAILS.
Peru and Ecuador Seem Likely to
Fight After All.

Lima. Peru, June 17.-It was rumor-
ed today that the attempted mediation
between Peru and Ecuador had failed
owing to the conditions imposed by
Ecuador on a basis for the peace
negotiations.
Both countries began, several days
ago the withdrawal from the frontiers
of the troops which had been massed
when the outbreak of hostilities were
believed to be imminent. The with
drawal was in accordance with the in
sistence of the mediating powers. when
the United States, Brazil and Argen-
tine undertook to act jointly in arbi-
trating the boundary dispute between
the two republics which it seemed OBJ
vious could be otherwise settled only
by war.
Nevertheless vague reports that
Ecuador had qualified its consent TO
mediation have been circulated until
now they appear to be gaining cred
ence.
