Has Had Wonderful Trip.
When the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
turned her BROW Westward this after
noon, Mr.. Roosevelt found himself on
has been the most remarkable trip ever
accomplished by a private citizen.
At the head Of the Smithsonian
African Scientific Expedition. the for
mer chief executive of b UniteH
States sailed on the steamer Hamburg
from New York March %. 1903. Ar
irving at Naples. he transferred to the
steamer Admiral and continued his
journey, stopping at Messtna, where
he met King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy.
The arrival at Mombassa was made
on scheduled time. April 81, and soon
| afterwards the notable hunting and ed
ucational expedition was begun and re-
suited in an unprecedented collection
of African trophies.
On Marcht IA Mr.. Roosevelt emerged
from the jungle, arriving at Khartum,
where he met Mrs. Roosevelt and their
daughter. Ethel. The expedition had
been disbanded late In the preceding
month.
Throughout his African journey Mr.
Roosevelt was accompanied by his son.
Kermit. who went along as h official
photographer Of the party. but turned
O. to be a splendid shot.
High Life in Europe.
Following the hunt Mr.. Roosevelt
was occupied with a series of speeches
that have excited lively interest
throughout the world. Also at this
time was begun a program Of enter
tainments in his honor, ouch as had
perhaps never before been arranged
for one who had retired to private life.
AT Cairo he approved of the British
rule and talked plainly to the national
lists.
Then followed the exchanges with
the Vatican which resulted in the
abandonment Of the requested audience
with the pope. At Paris he delivered
an address at the Sorbonne. AT Chris
tiana he addressed the Nobel Prize
committee on the subject Of interna-
tional peace. He spoke before royalty
at Berlin and was a guest of Emperor
William. Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to Great
Britain was marred by the death OF
King Edward.
His Last Sensation.
Unusual honors had been planned for
him; as it was he went to London as
special American ambassador at the
royal funeral. In spite of the curtail-
ment Of his program at the British
capital, 1t was at Gufldhall in the city
of London proper that he made the
speech that attracted more attention,
or at least more discussion, than any
of the other of his addresses abroad.
Here again he touched on British rule
In Egypt and criticised what he con-
ceived to be a tendency to leniency not
justified by the present political con-
ditions of the African dependency.
His final day in England was one of
%seclusion n rest. He was the guest
of Sir Edward Grey at the latter's
home in Hampshire, and together the
two tramped for hours through New
Forest, the ancient royal hunting
grounds, rich in its fauna and fora.
Worn Out by Exertion.
Today Mr.. Roosevelt said that he had
been refreshed by his trip in his coun-
try. He had been thoroughly worn out
by his exertions since his arrival here.
After joining his family Mr.. Roosevelt
proceeded to the steamship dock, where
he was greeted by the mayor and the
sheriff of Southampton. To the mayor
the former president said:
II would like to express through you,
MIR. Mayor, my thanks to the people
