BUDAPEST, April 1S-Interssting,
even spectacular, was the kaleidoscope
day which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
spent in this Hungarian capital. The
event which viii peculiarly appeal to
the people OF America was the meeting
Of the former president and Francis
Kossuth, son OF the distinguished Hun
garian patriot.
After a lunchean at the palace of
Archduke Joseph of Austria Roosevelt
was conveyed by automobile to the
home of Kossuth. Roosevelt was intro
ouced TO this man. whose name spells
great power, by Count Apponyi, former
minister Kossuth was i'll. else un-
doubtedly he would have called first on
Roosevelt
Francis Kossuth is man upward of
90 years old, with heavy anj rather
habby appearance. He has none of
the strength of his great father, which.
perhaps, is the reason why the party
which bears his name has not achieved
. the success ii otherwise might have
done.
ANXIOUS TO SEE ROOSEVELT
Kossuth told Roosevelt Immediately
after the introduction that all Ameri-
cans who came TO Budapest called on
him because OF the veneration in which
they have held his father.
Il am i'll. as you know he said, but
I desired TO see you so much that if you
had not come to my house I would have
been conveyed TO your hotel on litter.
All nay life ] was brought up in an at
mosphere Of liberty. as typified in
America, and I have peculiar feelings
OF pleasure and sympathy toward your
great country
hossuth and Roosevelt conversed on
the extraordinary changes which have
Peg occurred in Hungary. especially in
Budapest, since lS4S. kossuth asserting
that the changes were as great as
those which have occurred in America,
and showing tremendous enterprise on
the part Of the Hungarian people.
Although educated in Italy as d civil
engineer KOssuth is a passable sculp-
tor and artist. He has made several
bUsts and paintings Of his father. His
home abounds with mementoes of the
great patriot, all Of which he showed to
Roosevelt with evident pride.
After Roosevelt's departure Kossuth
spoke in highest terms Of Roosevelt.
indOrsing what Count Apponyi had said
IN the historic house of parliament, viz:
Mr. Roosevelt is one of tthe leading
efficient forces for the modern improve
ment of the world
EUBOGIZES ROOSEVELT
Here in this building. where Roose-
Welt was received by the interparlia-
mentary union, Count Apponyi made
stirring speech Of welcome. in the
course Of which he described Roosevelt
as typifying public honesty and the
nj, -@
ciaring the effects Of his attitude are
felt not only in America, but through
out the civilized world.
These sentiments evoked tremendous
enthusiasm on the part OF the Hun
gsrians who have taken Roosevelt to
their hearts, seeking TO obtain his SYM
pathy in their struggle for independ-
ence from Austria.
Roosevelt naturally can not intervene
in the domestic politics Of the dual
monarchy. and he was careful in every
phrase TO avoid offending Austria; but
he spoke glowingly Of Hungary's past
and its tremendous influence upon the
world in bearing back by the dauntless
courage Of its warriors the hordes of
barbarians which sought to overwhelm
Europe.
Elsewhere Roosevelt has shown
remarkable knowledge of Hungarian
history, exciting the admiration of the
by his apt illusions to the heroes and
battles which iIlumine the pages of
Hungary's history.
Denies Visiting Roosevelt
ROME April lS-From reports
which il has received from Vienna, the
Vatican, II is understood, does not con-
slider that Monsignor J. Granite di Bel
mont e Pignatelh. the papal nuncio at
Vienna visited Roosevelt
The contrary view is expressed on
the ground that the papal nuncio re-
fused to attend a luncheon given in
honor Of the former president by Amer
ican Ambassador Kerens, and it was
explained that after the luncheon the
nuncio called upon Kerens, and on that
Occa sion met Roosevelt. a meeting
which ii was not in his power to avoid.
The Correspondents Roma. the organ
Of the Vatican. commenting on the
incident, says:
- most regrettable sectarian spirit
makes people forget their obligations
toward all If the attempt made to
make the papal nuncio of Vienna ap-
pear as going to Roosevelt on behalf
Of the Vatican is unpleasant for the
nuncio. il is also unpleasant for Roose-
l-elt, who is thus depicted az one gath
ering incidents with whoever ap-
-proaches"
