VIA THE West
Roosevelt Has to Disasppoint His
Western Friends, But Prom
ises Visit Later.
ON SIGHT SEEING TRIP TODAY
Party Will Leave khartum for Cairo
Thursday-ExP President and Son
in Good Health-khartum
GaiIy Decorated.

Khartum, March Is, Col. Roosevelt
stated today he could not return to the
United States via San Francisco, but
if possible would visit Denver and
Cheyenne I'm August.
Today was devoted by Col
onel Roosevelt to sightseeing
around Khartum, and visits will
lege and other noted Institutions. This
evening the heads of the governmental
departments and their wives will meet
the Americans at a dinner at the pal
ace. The guests will include Slatin
Pasha, the writer, who has so vividly
described the massacres i'm the Soudan.
Wednesday morning Col Roosevelt
will visit Omdurman. The hills of
Kerreri. seven miles from Omdurman,
mark the site of the great battle of
Omdurman, Sept. 2, 1898, when the
khalifas army was annihilated. and
the rule of the khalifa brought to an
end. He will inspect the khalifa's
house and meet the local celebrities.
In the afternoon q game has been
arranged for his benefit at the Gym
kama polo grounds, and after that he
will visit the American mission. In
the evening he will be the guest of the
Khartum club at dinner, at which
covers will be laid for 60.
Will Leave Thursday.
Thursday is free day, but 1t is
probable that the ex-president will at
tend the Masonic lodge before his de-
parture and witness the Soudanese
drill. Col. Roosevelt and his family
will leave on special train Thursday
night to visit Assun, Luxor and Edfu,
on the way to Cairo. His visit here
will be of an entirely unofficial char
acter. He will enter Europe either by
way of Naples or Brindisi
Many of the streets of Khartum
have been decorated in honor of the
Americans. and the American flag is
to be seen on various buildings. Full
accounts of the prowess displayed by
the former president in his hunting ex-
peditions i'm the wilds of Africa have
preceded him and quite apart from the
distinguished office which he has held,
the people are anxious to honor him
for what he has passed through and
what he has accomplished during the
past IL months. No other hunter of
big game has passed through so many
hardships in so short time and been
quite SO successful.
Col. and Son in Good Health.
Truly remarkable has been the health
enjoyed by Mr.. Roosevelt and his son,
practically the only two members of
the expedition, among the whites, at
least. who escaped sickness. Slight
attacks, such as most of the party ex-
perienced, were only natural, i'm view
of the hardshlps endured. the heat of
the tropics. the noisome places. through
which the expedition was compelled to
pass at times, and the deadly insects.

ITALIAN OLIVE CROP SHORT.
Adverse Climatic Conditions in Tus'
oany Have Wrought Damage.

Florence March 15.-Owing to ad-
verse climatic conditions considerable
damage has been wrought to the rus
can olive crops. and instead of the nan
crop expected this season from Lucca
and the districts of Tuscany generally
growers and exporters will get barely
fourth OF the average quantity OF
normal season. One result or the
scarcity of the crop of the Lucca ana
other good districts will be the greater
demand for inferior quality of OIL
which is also pure olive oil, but from
very bad fruit
Compared with the oils of Bani anu
the Riviera those of Tuscany are IN
hnitely superior, the very best being
that from Lucca. This years extrac-
tion is extremely good. and II Is ex-
pected, in spite of there being no re-
duction I'm prices. that there viii be u
brisk demand for this brand.

article and what he said about the
lab r commissioner follows:
And then l agree with the Patron
that there are many political hangers
on throughout the state, who do not
earn their salaries. l am against the
Dick Fletchers in politics and I want
the whole state to know it and
want Mr. Dick Fletcher to know II.
But | also desire the entire state to
know that | have more respect for
the Dick Fletcher stripe of citizen,
who has independence and ability and
means, and who sits at home and
finds fault and does not take part i'm
politics. and does not do his duty as
citizen"
"Dick Fletcher hammers away at
politics. year in and year out, swears
like South Sea Island pirate. has
no higher ideals than holding office
but he keeps his word and does
things as his light give him to see
how to do them. So in that sense,
If every man would do as well as
Dick Fletcher. every year would show
vast Improvement over the preced-
ing one"

AUT0ISTS ARE
WORKING FOR
NEWSPEEDWAY

In view OF the fact that the horse
men have a 100000 speedway
along the Harlem river, and that
Mayor Gaynor has shut the motor
cars off the Ocean Parkway. the
only route to Coney Island, in order
to give a score of horsemen the right
to speed their horses. the automo-
bilists are wondering IL 1t is not
time that some concessions were
made to their needs.
Senator Morgan, who is always
stirring up trouble, the other day
rediscovered the S%outhfeld Boule-
ward on Staten. Island and thought
that it would be an ideal place for a
motor speedway. This is a compar-
atively little used efght-mile stretch
Of highway which starts at Parkin-
nue
There are few houses along the
road, which practically starts no
where and ends nowhere. 1t was
used for some motor a races nearly
a decade ago, but since that time it's
quietude has been seldom disturbed
by the exhaust Of a motor car. To
think OF anything with the senator
Is TO act, ana ne
Charles M. Brown, of the Winton
Company, to carry a party of news-
paper men down to Richmond coun-
ty In one~of the new 1911 Winton
cars.
AT the island the party were met
by Charles e. Schultz, the president
of the Richmond County Automo-
bile Club, and H. E. Buel, superin-
tendent of highways, of the borough
of Richmond. After an inspection
Of the highway, which is in fairly
good condition, Mr.. Buel said that,
in his opinion, the bends could be
Strengthened and the road resur-
faced for about 500, 900.
In view of the fact that the motor
lists are taxed $50e~a0 a year, they
think that it would be a good plan
for the state to appropriate enough
money to place the road in good con-
dition and give the autoist a run for
his money. OF course, there will
probably be opposition to the
scheme, but if the horsemen are
given two speedways. why not give
the motorists one?

John Barrett was only tw~enty-seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press a

In obtaining the money. "Be cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
"That is," responded Mr.. Barrett,

The Spear and Bow and Poisoned AZ
rows Their Chief Weapons.
Our knowledge Of the pygmies Of
New Guinea shows that in habit they
are nomadic, nowhere filling the
ground, but depending for their living
entirely on their skill in hunting and
fishing. Their chief weapon is the
bow, their arrows being generally
poisoned either with the famous upas
or some other similar vegetable poison,
In some cases a species of ~strychnine.
They also make use of the spear and
an ingenious form of spring gun
which Is common to numerous other
forest tribes. This is formed by set
ting a fattened bamboo spear attached
a trigger In such a way that 1t is re-
leased by he passerby stumbling
against nm invisible string stretched
across a game track. These spears are
really set for game, and te~the initi-
ated they are obvious enough, as their
presence is always indicated by GER
tain well known signs, such as a
broken off twig placed in a cleft stick,
In war these signs are removed. The
removal being equivalent TO the NOV
ing OF buoys in q mined channel. The
wounds inflicted by these hardened
bamboo spears are necessarily serious.
The mental qualities of the Negritos
are extremely undeyelopea. non Of

Finding Mark Twain by Faith.

One evening a few years ago Brander
Matthews and Francis Wilson were
dining together at the Players club of
New York, when the former made the
suggestion that they write a letter to
Mark Twain. But" objected Mr.. VIII
son, 1--WE don't know where he is" for
it was at ii time when Mr.. Clemens
was away travelling somewhere. oh"
said Professor Matthews, that does
not make any difference. 1t is surf to
find him. | think he is some place in
Europe, so we had better put on a
FIVE cent stamp" So the two sat down
and composed a letter. which they ad-
dressed to MARK Twain, God Knows

reply from Mr.. Clemens which said
briefly, He did" The letter had been
