Washington, April 26.-President

presidential yacht Sylph somewhere

yard.
The President went away to get
diversion from the strain of his
duties. DR.. Cary Gray, a naval aide
at the White House, who is looking
after the Presidents health, advised
boat trip and Mr.. Wilson agreed
cheerfully, leaving behind letters
and documents of all kinds.
He took along some magazines to
read If time hung heavily and plan
ned to stop along the shore for a
short walk some time tomorrow.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, the young
est daughter, accompanied the
President. The only other member
of the party was James Sloan, chief
OF the White House secret service.
Secretary Tumulty and the Presi-
dents stenographer stayed in Wash
ington.
The President is getting ready for
strenuous week The first part of
next week he expects to spend in

Washington, April 27.-Senator
James X. Vardaman Of Mississippi
yesterday flashed across Washing
tons vision as true Southern
cavalier
Sightseers rambling around the
capitol grounds observed q mettle-
some charger stamping the asphalt
in front Of the senate Office build
ing. Ever and anon, the noble ami
NAL raised its head and pricked for
ward its ears as if to listen for the
Footsteps of its master. Each time
the small negro boy, who desperately
chung TO the bit, was swung clear of
the ground. The patience of the
steed and the anxiety of the youth
were soon to be rewarded.
The revolving doors of the Office
building spun like a top and there
strobe into view a man of stately
mien, his eyes partly hidden by the
broad brim of a soft hat, such as
southern gentltman wears on the
stage and in Congress- He wore
dark coat, pure white riding trous-
ers and black riding boots with
spurs jingling at the heels. 1t was
Senator Vardaman.
He stepped to the curb, flung his
leg over the saddle, and followed by
the eyes of an admiring multitude.

Today will mark the beginning of
another busy week for him. With
the Japanese situation and the tariff
debate to watch in addition to the
usual heavy White House routine
the President will have his hands
full in order to get away Thursday
FOR his New Jersey trip. The cruise
down the river was pleasant and
uneventful, although yesterday it
got rather too cool for comfort
Leaving here Saturday morning the
Slyph steamed down to st. Mary's
river and up to the historic st.
Mary's landing where she laid up
for the night. The return trip be-
gan at o'clock yesterday afternoon

plans for another night on the wa
ter.
The President, who was accom-
panied only by DR.. Cary Grayson.
White House naval aide, his young
est daughter, Miss Eleanor, and a
secret service man, gave no attention
to business. He carried no official
papers with him and the Sylph's
wireless was not used until late yes
terday, when message was sent
notifying the navy yard of the hour
of return.
The departure of the Slyph and
her return We're marked by the alb
sence of the customary presidential
salute. The commandant of the navy
yard had been requested to permit
no demonstration of any kind.
