pressing sympathy. In the dominions,
including South Africa. legislatures ad-
journed as q mark of respect for the
dead leader. The news was received
in the South African assembly during
discussion Of estimates. Premier
Botha, who was deeply affected, made
an immediate announcement and NOV.
ed adjournment while the members,
Dutch and British, remained standing
as tribute to the man who won the
dominion for Great Britain against the
forces in which many of the legislators
fought.
Newspapers and many commercial
organizations have taken up the de-
mand for immediate internment Of all
foreigners of belligerent nationalities
on the ground that they may have in
formed the enemy of the departure OF
Kitchener and his staff and thus be
responsible for the destruction Of the
Hampshire.
Premier Asquith temporarily has
taken personal charge Of the war Of
fce.
At the suggestion of the Jockey

ROOSEVELT REFRAlNs.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 7.-While
Col. Roosevelt refrains from making
any statement disclosing his real atti-
tude toward the political situation In
Chicago, it is well known to his in
timates here that he is opposed to
the nomination of Justice Hughes and
It Is their confident belief that II the
Justice is nominated the colonel will
be candidate. - ~
Although Col. Roosevelt and Sec
retary, Walter Hayes, remained good
part of last night at the private tele-
phone wire between Sycamore Hill
and the progressive party headquar-
ters In Chicago, the colonel said this
morning there was no statement he
cared to make, except to repeat that
he was neither for nor against any
candidate.
While the nature Of the telephone
conversations is not allowed to trans
pire, Col. Roosevelt's followers here
assert that reports from his neuten-
ants in Chicago are favorable to the
colonels candidacy. Only the most
trusted of the colonelS counsellors
are permitted to talk over the wire,
which is guarded by employees of the
telephone company all along the line
to prevent any possibility Of a leak.
Teddy Dissatisfied.
Col Roosevelt, it is wen understood,
is not at all satisfied with Justice
Hughes so-called flag speech" which
he is said to regard as merely a
Fourth Of July" address having no
value as disclosing the Justices atti-
tude toward the real issues of the day.
In words of his followers here, the col
onel regards the speech as further
evidence of pussyfooting," to which
attitude he is opposed in the present
crisis in the country's affairs. His fol
lowers look for, a broadside from him
within a day Or two which they say
will be calculated to eliminate Justice
Hughes and any other candidate Nhom
the colonel regards as representing the
"pussyfoot idea"
"The colonel feels" they say, "that
If the republicans have made up their
minds to nominate man representing
this idea, the one thing left for him to
do is to run himself in order to bring
before the people the issue Of straight.
forward Americanism."
