APPROACHING VISIT
WORRIES ENGLAND

LONDON, April 5.--English poll
ticians are apprehensive to-day lest
Col Theodore Roosevelt spring his
next sensation on English soil and
that somebody In going to be fearfully
herd hit by II.
For publication English politicians
uniformly and convcnttonally express
extreme pleasure regarding Col
Roasevelt's coming visit To London on
May IL, but the truth Is they can Ill
conceal the fear that possesses most
OF them that the colonel will loose
another bolt while here.
Al Khartoum II was Col. Roose-
velt's vigorous appeal for submission
to English rule that stirred the press
of tho world; at Cairo 1t was his Sc
we're -castigation lists,
and at Rome his refusal to be re-
celved by the Pope on the conditions
laid Down by the Vatican.
II IL significant that Mr.. Roosevelts
visir to London Will be at the time
OF a critical political situation. and
possibly Simultaneous with another
nstinEal election. There are few who
believe that the colonel will be able
to refrain from voicing his sympa-
thies and conclusions. and 1t Is ad-
mitted that such an expression from a
man Of his calibre will have the most
IA. reaching consequences.
