CAIRO. Egypt, March 25.-Up with
the sun today, after restful night at
the Mena house, Col. Roosevelt and his
party early prepared for visit to the
Necropolis of Sakkara, where the Won
derful tombs of various kings, or my
and of the Apis bulls, are located.
Last night the sphinx was visited by
moonlight and Col Roosevelt saia
today the weird sight had been thor
oughly enjoyed by himself and his
family. 1t was the most interesting
thing he had seen during his trip to
Africa.
Tonight Col. Roosevelt and his fam
ily returned to Cairo, dined with
American Consul General Iddings and
later attended banquet rendered hlm
by Sir Eldon Gorst, the British agent
and consul general in Egypt.
Special Mark of Favor
Major G. K. Watson, pasha aide de
camp to the khedive, who met Col.
Roosevelt a year ago at Port Sald'
was an early caller at the Mena house
today He paid the respects OF the
khedive to the American huntsman and
rendered him the use of the khedlve's S
special camel corps for the eight-mile
ride across the desert OF Sakkara.
Such a tender always is special mark
of favor and Col. Roosevelt accepted
it with pleasure.
The colonel and Kermit each rode
one of the animals over the dreary
waste to the Metropolis, but Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Ethel chose a
more comfortable conveyance.
Arriving at the tomb of the bulls OF
Apis, which date back to 1900 B. c.,
the sightseers were met by an archae-
ologist instructed to act as their guide
With lighted candles the Americans
entered the dark caverns and looked
with interest upon the huge sarcophagl.
Colonel Roosevelt evinced great curl
osity in the methods used by the an
cient Egyptians and piled the Egypt
oIogist with numerous questions. One
sarcophagus was opened. and lighted
candles were lowered into it to show
how the mammoth bulls were lowered
into their final resting places.
Visit Grave of Thy, Plebeian
From the tombs of the bulls the
party proceeded to the temples and
the tomb of Thy, plebeian. who lived
in the fifth dynasty, but who was so
esteemed that he was permitted to
marry a princess. Here Colonel Roose-
welt and his family were Joined by
oscar S. Straus, the American ambas-
sador to Turkey, and Mrs. Straus, Mr..
Iddings and Miss Iddings.
on the walls of the tomb of Thy
are various sculptures and paintings,
which, though they were executed
about $500 B. c., still are legible.
These were greatly admired and Col.
Roosevelt, with his usual keen percep-
tion, pointed out to the archaeologist
the pictures of various animals he had
seen lately in the jungle, but which
are extinct in upper Egypt. He de-
clared the fact that they were repro
duced in the tomb of Thy was proof
that the animals once had roamed
Egypt.
Colonel Roosevelt also was deeply
interested in pictures showing an
Egyptian stuffing geese. a swan and a
hyena, which, in the olden days. were
used as food.
From the temple Colonel Roosevelt

Will Withdraw Funds

A further result of the presentments
of the jury was the order of City Con-
troller Morrow late today for the with
drawal of all city funds from the six
banks and the practical notification of
the ordinance designating them custo-
dams of city funds.
About $3,640,3 800 of city funds is in
these banks. and this would be in
creased many millions next week by
taxes now being paid.
In this connection the presentment
reads:
I'VE strongly recommend and insist
the proper officials of the city of Pitts
burg take immediate legal action to
nullify the ordinance naming the said
Farmers Deposit National bank, the
Second National bank of Pittsburg, the
German National bank of Pittsburg,
the German National bank of Allie
gheny, the Columbia National bank of
Pittsburg and the Workingmens Saw
ings and Trust company of Allegheny
as city repositories, that the bribe Civ
ers may not benefit by their own
wrongdoing and criminal conduct"
The presentments give the full de-
| tails of the plot of the councilmen to
obtain bribes from six banks, and the
means adopted for paying the bribes.
The story of the transfer of $4,000 by
an unnamed man to former Council-
man Charles Stewart in the Hotel I'M
perial, New York, as related, is that
Max G. Leslie. former chairman of the
Republican county committee, received
900 by arrangement between E. H.
Jennings and f. A. Griffen of the Co
lumbia National bank, and Leslie gave
William Brand, then president of the
common council, directly or indirectly,
SIT 800 to obtain the city deposits for
the Columbia National.
1t is declared Morris e. Einstein re-
ceived $4,000 from the Workingmen's
Savings and Trust company to have
that bank named as a city depository,
but the name of the bank official who
paid him the money is unknown
Believes Records Mutilated
1t is further declared in the present.
ments that the members of the grand
Jury believe the books of the Work
ingmen's bank have been mutilated,
three pages referring to this deal hav-
ing been cut from the ledger. Einstein,
it is also declared, kept $4,000 for his
services in arranging the deal.
Further declarations in the present.
ments are that two city clerks were
given $1,000 each and that $3.50 was set
apart for newspaper men, and that
Henry M. Bolger, the saloon keeper al
ready convicted of bribery, was given
$500 for his services in arranging the
meeting between the officers of the
German National bank of Pittsburg
and the councilmen.
1t is recited that John f. Klein and
Joseph C. Wasson, by their confessions
and shipments, making possible the eX
posure, are entitled to great considera
tion and reduction of Kleins sem
tence is urged.
1t is also recommended no further

in Legal Battle Vital to
Government Interests

CINCINNATI, March 25,-Prominent
attorneys representing the federal gov
ernment are in this city conferring
with former Assistant United States
Attorney General Wade II. Ellis in
preparation for what is regarded as the
greatest legal battle of the interstate
commerce commissions existence
The case is set for hearing in the SUI
preme court of the United States on
Monday, April 4, and involves the
power conferred upon the commission
by the Hepburn law to fix rates where
railroads are found to be overcharging.
This point is vital toward rendering
effective the work of the commission,
and Mr.. Ellis has been especially re-
tanned in the case, which involves the
commissions order reducing the rate
for first-class matter from the Atlantic
to st. Joseph, Omaha and Kansas city.
The cut ordered was cents hum
dred pounds, from $1.47 to $1.3S, but the
decision will affect the rates of every
railroad in the country so far as they
are concerned by the commissions au-
thority to reduce them when found to
be exorbitant.

BERLIN, March 25.-Emperor Will
liam's invitation to Theodore Roosevelt
to be his guest in the royal castle prom
ises effectually to Illustrate the former
presidents expressed desire to be re-
ceived in Europe as q plain private citi-
zen, and it may even alter entirely the
character of his reception on the conti-
nent. The invitation is ut variance with
all court precedents and has focused
popular attention on the approaching
visit in an extraordinary way. Here
tofore no foreign private citizen has ever
enjoyed the hospitality of the royal cas-
tie, and the only person not of princely
rank who has been thus honOred is Count
Zeppelin, whom the kaiser has called
the greatest man of the country.
During his stay in the palace, May IL
to Is, Mr.. Roosevelt will have the suite
occupied by King Edward ON his recent
visit, and will be the center of attrae-
tion in a brilliant circle comprising the
emperor's closest official advisers.

NIMRODS BAG
FINE LOT OF RABBITS.

Arnold Kleinschmidt, Of Plane street.
and Michael j. Hoffman. president Of
Hoffman, Douglas & Co., furniture
dealers, bagged sixteen fat rabbits and
three squirrels Tuesday while hunting
In the underbrush near Livingston,
west of the Orange Mountain, and they
also tramped the woods on the Second
Moutain and at Riker's and Under
woods. They started on the trip Mon
day night, slept at a farm house and
were out with their double-barrel shot
guns and hunting dog the next morn
ing al daylight.
"There were two inches of snow on
the ground early in the morning." Mr..
K~leinschmidt said last night. 1--WE
tramped through the unGerbrush and
woods until nightfall. The rabbits
came out early. and we saw many after
the sun came out. We shot several
as they sat on their launches at the
roots of a tree. We did not have to
drive out or hunt for many of the
sixteen rabbits we shot. There were
not many men out hunting where we
went. / think they were all farmers.
We did not see any quail or partridge,
but there were plenty of rabbits. l be-
lieve If we had hunted today we would
have shot thirty or forty rabbits, for
we know the ground now"
