 TRIP TO NEWSPAPER MEN

Washington, November B.-Colonei Roosevelt returned to the national cap itai today for the first time since his official departure from the White House in March, 1909 In the role of sports man and scientist, he came to relate before the National Geographical socie- ty tonight his adventures In the Afri- can jungles.
 Much interest was manifested as to whether he would make any reference to the recent political upheaval or poli- itics in general, but beyond the remark that "every dog has his day. but. the nights belong to the cats" which he made in jest before the National Press club. where he was informally received this afternoon shortly after his arrival, the colonel evaded the mention of politics.
 From the moment of his arrival at 4:2O o'clock this afternoon. however, when he was met at the station by his daugh- ter. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and del- egations from the National Geogr aphical society and the National Press club, the colonel kept up rapid fire of superla- tivesi that evidenced the hearty enjoy ment he felt at returning to scenes that recalled strenuous days of executive &C., ton. At tho National Press club there was great gathering of newspaper men and their friends. Many of those who welcomed the colonel were present in March, 1909, when he bade farewell to the correspondents and writers with whom he had been associated during the seven years of his administration.

While no definite information is given out through the prosecuting at- torney's office 1t Is learned that only nurses who have been employed by the family and Dr. Frank L.

 Mir. Roosevelt joined in the laugh that followed, and added: T was thinking of one. however, that would be sufficiently inclusive. wish to say that every dog has his day. but the night belong to the cats''
 The colonel closed with bit of humor that oocasioned laughter when he said
 And now I am going to have e chance to shake hands with every blessed one who does not think his character will be hurt thereby"
 Tn his lecture at Convention hall to- night he confined his remarks entirely to discussion of the incidents of his African trip, and evoked mingled laugh ter and applause as he told of the habits of the natives, the encounters with wild beasts, and the remarkable collection ol specimens which, he declared, he was glad the expedition was able to obtain.
 The colonel launched forth into a mar rative of the events which led up to his being asked by the Smithsonian institu- ton to lead an expedition to Africa in search of scientific specimens, He praised the work of his companions and the trip the taking of the best photo graphs of herd of wild elephants ever taken, and the only photographs of a live white rhinoceros, as well as some 14,000 specimens of much value.
 There were no hardships," he con tinued. except the mild amount of danger from shooting wild beasts and from disease. Fortunately no white man of the party was lost"

 At that hour he was conscious, but sleepy and very weak. Still later in the evening after cylster temperature had been taken, which registered 98. degrees, the general feeling of the patient was better
 pr. Berkenheim say sthe case is not hopeless, though no means will avail to relieve the overtaxed heart through out periods of unconsoiousness.
 No detail of the bed chamber escapes Tolstoi Today he rebuked Dr. Berken- helm for entering and not greeting him. Again overhearing a hushed consulta- ton regarding his hiccough, Toistoi said {:

Denver, November RIA lone aviator. soaring eaglewise. against the dazzling background of the snow-clad Rocky mountains, today grimly reminded 10000 spectators at Overland park of yester- days reckless rivalry which culninated in the traglc death of Ralph Johnstone, holder of the worlds altitude record.
 While Walter Brookins of the Wright team was speeding toward Kansas City, guarding tho body of the man, who, in Brookins own words, flew as he pleased" Arch Hoxsey, whose feats Johnstone ever sought to excel, gave the two flights called for by his contract and threw in another one to please the crowd.
 What Hoxsey failed to do in fancy work today he made up in speed. Rising and circling to a height of about 2Ooo feet he headed northwest toward the hills. When he reached the field again 1t was learned from his description of lake over which he passed that he had covered an esti- mated distance of 20 miles in 20 minutes. Noxsey estimated his greatest altitude at a5oo feet from the ground or S70O feet above sea level.

London, November 1s.-The militant suffragettes reopened hostilities against the government today and, marching 16.ooO strong on the parlia- mont buildings, gave the police 8 lively fight. The women, many of whom were placed under arrest, were led by Mrs. Emmeiine Pankhurst.
 The suffragettes had determined if possible to force the police cordon about the house of commons and. reaching Premier Asquith. to insist upon the adoption of a woman suf- rage bill. The police. however. were too strongly entrenched and the wom- en. who tried every means in their power to force the line, were thrown back.
 Repeatedly they retired, breathless and dishevelled, only to have their places on the fighting line taken by re- serves.
 The police were ordered to make as few arrests as possible, but by o'clock only one woman and two men were in police cells.
 A large contingent of American blue Jackets from the visiting fleet were amused spectators of the struggle and lustily cheering the contestants melted tn em to fresh efforts. The fight continued and the police were compelled to make wholesale ar rests. At o'clock 400 suffragettes and their supporters had been taken into custody.
 During the battle Q constable was badly gashed across the hand. sppar- ently by knife blade. This was the only blood-1etting. Among the suffra- gettes arrested was Annie Martin of Nevada.

 The holy synod Is trying by all avenues to approach the bedside of Count Tol- stoi Today it ordered an aged monk named Joseph, friend with whom Toi- stoi conversed at the Optina monastery last week, to come to Astapova. His health, however. did not permit of his making the journey, and therefore the Abbott of Optina, accompanied by a monk, came in his stead.
 They were not permitted to enter the sick room. however.
 This morning Tolstoi's eldest daughter, 1'atina, was permitted to see her father for a few minutes.
 The novelist remains conscious, and although extremely weak, Is cheerful and confident of ultimate recovery. Russia is deeply interested in the efforts being made for the authors reconciliation with tho Greek church. There are slight pros poets of success in the matter, as his physicians say there would be grave danger in the excitement which the count would be likely to experience If he were permitted to see the telegram sent him by the metropolitan, Antinous. or to receive a visit from the orthodox bishop.
