Theodore Roosevelt has arrived in
when he landed on the steps of the
station at Khartoum, still attired in
the khaki garb he had worn in the jun
gle. This was due to the non-arrival
of his civilian clothes.
AS is characteristic of all Roosevelt
ian events, his arrival at this point
was on time and the details were pic
turesque. The elements gave up four
days struggle for supremacy and be-
came lamblike upon the actual ap-
proach of Colonel Roosevelt, while the
ruffied Nile was as smooth IS a mirror.
Upon its bosom numerous native feluc-
cas- and British gunboats which had
served through the Kitchener cam
paign were decorated with bunting and
flags in honor of this American citizen,
the brilliant white sands and cool
green date palms fringing the shores,
backed by stately buildings amidst
luxurious gardens, forming a scenic
setting of no mean worth.
DESTROYS of keeping his promise to
finish his book, Colonel Roosevelt an
chored in the Dial off Gordon's Tree,
the favOrite resting place of the mar
tyred hero of Khartoum, six miles from
that city. When the last sentence of
the book had been penned he followed
it by stenographic dictation, answer
ing numerous letters. The Colonel
found the greater part of his mail
made up of absurd requests for tro-
phies and other things impossible to
do or answer

resplendent with gold decorations, wei
coined the colonel.
At the palace a brave array of Off
GERS as a guard of honor fanked the
passage from the landing place. After
an informal presentation to the leading
officials of Khartoum, Colonel Roose-
welt went to the railroad station to
meet Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter,
after which he returned to the palace,
where he dined with the privacy of a
simple citizen, enjoying the luxury of
dress clothes for the first time in
twelve months, the party's togs of civil
lization having arrived. The palace
has practically been given up to the
Roosevelts. 1t is a historic, yellow
building, and is surmounted by an
American flag for the first time in its
history.

of the meeting would be a compro
mise.
While the conference was on, the
House practically was in recess. The
Speaker kept some one in the chair
but he wandered around the corridors
of the building apparently quite uncon
cerned as to the ultimate effect of the
strife on his own fortunes. The mem

House A stubborn filibuster on the
part of Speaker Cannon and the House
organization and equally relentless at
tack on the part of the allies these
were the distinguishing features in the
hottest fight that has yet been made
to overthrow the present control OF
the House. It was extraordinary in
many ways For instance, the odd
spectacle was presented of the House
preponderantly Republican, ordering
the arrest of the absentees of that par
ty on the motion of a Democrat car
ried by Democratic votes.
Then, too, it is not often that a fill
buster is carried on by the regular
House organization, virtually led by
the Speaker, supposedly in full control
of the House machinery, to prevent
consideration of a resolution designed
to overthrow that organization, make
the rules and reorganize radically the
committee, the tenure of whose chair.

All records of Congress were broken
in the debate on the Norris resolution,
which caused the struggle in the
House, $4,000 words being taken by
the official stenographer. This is the
most voluminous debate ever heard in
the House without a break.
