Arrival at Battery.
Col. Roosevelt left the Androscoggin
at the battery at 1865 a. M, and
walked to his place i'll the speaker s
stand, accompanied by Mayor Gaynor.
Dougle lines of police guarded his ap,
preach and moving picture. machines ana
camera hanked him at either side. Mr..
Roosevelt walked slowly shading his
eyes from the sun with his hat, Corne-
lus Vanderbilt, chairman of the recep-
| ton committee, at his elbow. At the
steps of the speakers stand, the mayor
took his hand and led him to the steps.

his first question.
On assurance that there was. he said
Good! Now We'll go ahead. Boys, I'm
feeling fine"
Mayor Gaynor welcomed Col. Roose-

went up when he said with emphasis:
Il enjoyed myself immensely" Mayor
Gaynor i'll welcoming Mr. Roosevelt,
said:
Ladies and gentlemen We are all here
to welcome Mr.. Roosevelt to New York
We have watched his progress through Eu-
rope with delight. Wherever he has gone
he has been honored as man and as an
exponent of the principles Of the govern,
ment of this country. He was received
everywhere In Europe and honored as nc
man from this country ever was honored.
We glory In all that, and 1t only remains
for me to say now, Mr.. Roosevelt, that we
welcome you home most heartily, and we
are glad to see you again.
The brevity of the exercises at the
battery took the spectators by surprise.
AS the AndrOscoggin drew slowly to her
pier the whistles began a chorus com
! pared to which all those that had gone
before were feeble pipings.
Everybody jumped to his feet ana
men and women alike stood on the seats,
peering into the blind mouth of the
dockhouse while engine bells clauged'
and revolving screws churned the waters
nervously.
First the invited guests began TO clap
half timorously; then the colonel APP
peared for a certainty and cheer went
up from all the throngS.
The Return Voyage.
On his outward voyage to Africa, Mr..
Roosevelt mixed much with the passen-
gers in the most informal way, sitting on
deck clothed in khaki. with group
about him most of the day. The return
journey with his family was marked by
more fOrmality.
Except on occasions like church serv-
ice and the brief handshaking function
on deck Tuesday, the passengers saw ut
tie of him. He appeared IN the dining
saloons for late breakfasts, but his other
meals were taken with members of his
family in the more exclusive Pltz restau-
rant. For exercise he had the lower
deck adjoining his state room Inc
other passengers, respecting his evident
desire for privacy, left the deck to him,
and there dressed in gray SUIT and 4
black souched hat, he tramped up and
down vigorously two or three hours
day.
ers and he frequently received the cor
respondents in his rooms. American
notifies was the one subject tabooed, but
! of his European experiences and the
| kings he met, he talked freely, although
NOT for publication. He had great re
gard for the young king of Spain and the
| king of Belgium and he formed a warm
| friendship With King Haakon OF Nor
way.
| Mrs. Roosevelt kept to her stateroom
most of the voyage. greatly needing rest
after the weeks OF travel Mrs; Long
worth appeared seldom. Miss Ethel was
much on deck with small black dog,
"Bungo," and Kermit spent most of his
time in the smoking room at the bridge.
Mr.. Roosevelt is alarmed by his cor
respOndence and is disposed to appeal to
the public for mercy. He received more
than 5000 letters while in England, be
side innumerable kilograms, papers and
! books. Two stenographers We're kept
busy, but were unable to reply to a third
Of them. If Americans treat him in the
same way, Mr.. Roosevelt says, he will
| have neither time nor means to handle
! his mail.
! The Roosevelt baggage consists largely
! of gifts. There is the big vase presented
! him by the Emperor of Germany, EN-
| blazoncd with the imperial arms and
portrait of the donor, a dozen fine water
color paintings from the emperor, am
several boxes Of books, most of then
presentation copies from the authors.
