Roosevelt Ignores Politics In Reply to
Mayor Gaynor.

In replying to Mayor Gaynor's official
address of welcome during the ceramon-
les at the Battery, Col. Roosevelt said ::
Il thank you, Mayor Gaynor Through
you l thank your committee. and through
them l wish to thank the American
people for their greeting. l need hardly
say am most deeply moved by the re-
cepuon given me. No man could receive
such a greeting without being made to
feel both very proud and very humble
i nave been away year and a quar-
ter from America, and have seen
strange and interesting things, alike in
the heart of the frowning wilderness
and in the capitals of the mightiest and
most highly polished of civilized nations.
l have thoroughly enjoyed myself, and
now l am more glad than I can say to
get home TO be back in my own country,
back among people I love.
And l am ready and eager to do my
part so far as / am able, in helping
solve problems which must be solved il
we or this, the greatest democratic re-
public upon which the sun has ever
shone, are to see its destinies rise 10
the nigh level of our hopes and its op-
portunities
This is the duty of every citizen. hut
II is peculiarly my duty; for any man
who has ever been honored bv being
made President of the United States Is
thereby forever after rendered the debtor
OF the American people, and is bound
throughout his life to remember this as
MS prime obligation, and in private life
as much as in public, so to carry him
SELF that the American people may never
nave cause to feel regret that once they
placed him at their head"

RoosEVELT's RETURN.
E~-Presldent Given Tremendous ova-
ton by 100000 People on His Arrival
In New York.

Theodore Roosevelt ex-President of
Of the United States, picturesque states
man and cosmopolitan traveller, was
greeted back to his native land Saturday
by such a demonstration of popular en-
thusiasm and personal devotion as had
never been accorded to returning
American traveller. Each step in this
eventful home coming, from the time he
debarked from the steamer Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria until he moved up Broad
way amid the tumultuous demonstrations
of vast throngs of people, was one con-
tinuous ovation and tribute OF popular
enthusiasm. The stages in this welcome
were crowded into hardly more than
three hours. At $50 in the morning Mr.
Roosevelt left the steamship amid the
roar OF big guns from battleships and
land forts and a pandemonium OF steam
whistles from water craft and from the
factories along the water front Then
aboard the revenue cutter Androscoggin
he moved at the head of an imposing
marine parade up the Hudson river to
Riverside Drive and back again to the
Battery, amid the continuous demonstra-
ton OF water craft and the assembled
multitude along the water front.
The landing at the Battery was the
signal for another clamorous ovation.
Here, too, Mayor Gaynor extended Off
cial greetings, and Mr.. Roosevelt spoke
briefly but significantly of the interest
and part he will continue to take in
public affairs At IL o'clock the start up
Broadway began through densely massed
throngs extending for five miles along the
main thoroughfares OF the city. Every
where the returning traveller met the
same whirlwind of demonstrative greet
ings-as he passed Wall street, farther on
as he moved through Park place and the
business section, and then through the
throngs in Union and Madison squares
and through the long reaches Of Fifth
avenue. Mr.. Roosevelt stood erect in his
carriage most of the time, his silk hat in
ms right hand, waving responsive greet
ing to the echoing cheers. BY noon the
popular welcome was practically conclud-
ed and Mr.. Roosevelt joined relatives for
luncheon preparatory to returning TO his
home at Oyster Bay later in the day.
