sickness of every kind. Ordinarily a
traveller, through the regions through
which Col. Roosevelt has passed,
comes out of the jungles loaded with
malaria and fever germs. Up to the
present time, neither Col Roosevelt
nor any of his party have shown any
symptoms of having contracted any
OF the numerous contagious diseases.
Gen. Sir Reginald Wingate pro-
vided countless ways for the enter

The town of Khartum is a mass of
color. Flags of Egypt, England and
America are everywhere, and the ex.
president has probably appreciated
nothing more than the opportunity of
visiting this historical spot.
Khartum is virtually built around
the grave of Chinese" Gordon. The
city itself is gigantic monument to
that soldiers deeds and his heroic
death. In the center of it stands his
effigy in bronze, mounted on a camel,
gazing with fixed eyes out toward
the desert which Knocked him during
the terrible year that he lay there
waiting for relief. Behind the statue
stands the British governors palace,
an imposing structure in the Gothic
style, typical of British power and
British permanence.
Name Gordon Everywhere.
Not far away is the Gordon Memeri-
al college. school built with funds
raised by Gen. Kitchener by subscrip-
ton throughout Great Britain. in
which the Sudanese newer generation
is trained for service in the govern
ment which conquered its fathers.
Everywhere throughout the city the
name Gordon appears. There is the
Gordon hotel, the Gordon drive and
up the White Nile the Gordon tree.
Gordon's memory Will live so long as
Khartum exists. The British have
transformed the city of his death inrs
a memorial to his glory that can
laugh at time.
Khartum stands at the confluence
of the White and Blue Niles, and some
day with the development of the will
