Was Noteworthy Visit.
London, June 1O.-Theodore Roose-
velt's brief but interesting visit to
England is ended. Though unfortun-
ately coinciding with the period of ma
tional mourning, and for that reason
shorn of much of the spiendor which
would have accompanied it under hap
pier circumstances, it was neverthe
less one of the most noteworthy for
eign visits paid to Great Britain's
shores in recent years.
No foreign ruler or man of eminence
could have aroused more universal at
tention, received a warmer welcome,
or achieved a great popularity among
every class of society.
Resentment Disappears.
1t is true that his structures on
Egyptian affairs occasioned political |
resentment in some quarters, but he
left no rancor behind, because he was /
regarded as privileged guest in whom
no unworthy or unfriendly motive /
could be suspected, and the frankness /
of his utterances is taken as a meas /
ure of the strength of the friendship /
binding the two nations.
The death of King Edward com /
PEELED the curtailment of public dem !
onstrations and entertainments pro- /
jected in his honor Even at that he |
was unable to accept half the invita- .
tions showered upon him.
No Chance for SendOff.
In characteristic fashion Colonel .
Roosevelt deprived Londoners of the .
of giving him a sendoff.
Before the people were aware of his .
intention he had quietly left the city,
not half a dozen persons knowing the
time or the manner of his departure.
