Theodore Roosevelt Most Highly
Honored in Europe.
EXCITING INCIDENT IN ROME
Former President Delivered Scholarly
Lectures In Parlt, Berlin and Ox
fordRepresented His Country
at King Edward's Funeral.
Scarcely less Interesting than his
hunting trip In Africa, and at times
almost as exciting, were the adven
tures of Col. Theodore Roosevolt in
Eiiropo. There he desired to be treat
ed as a man of letters and Bclcncc,
rather than as a sportsman, and his
doslro was gratified. But In addition,
Europo insisted on receiving him as
tho most distinguished Amorlcan of
the time, and everywhere ho went
honors wero showorcd on him. Em
porora, kings, princes und all manner
of royalties and nobility greeted him,
dined him and toasted him, nnd iho
pcoplo In nil the lands that ho visited
turned out In vast throngs to sco him
and cheer him.
In Paris, Cbrlstlanla, Berlin and Ox
ford Mr. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and tho literary and
scientific circles opened to lot him in
and marveled at tho wido scope' of his
knowledge.
Tho event connected with Mr.
Roosovolt's European tour that
aroused tho most Interest and excitement-
occurred immediately after his
arrival in Italy early In April. Beforo
ho left Africa his doslro to pay his
respects to tho popo bad been con
veyed to tho Vatican und the holy
fathor had Intimated that ho would bo
glad to aoo tho distinguished Ameri
can. About tho samo time former
Vice-President Fairbanks wns in
Romo and had arranged for nn audi
ence at tho Vatican which was can
celled by tho pope bccauBO Mr. Fair
banks first addressed tho Methodist
mission In Rome. When Colonel
Roosevelt reached tho Eternal City ho

recolved, through tho Amorlcan minis
ter, a messngo from Cardinal Merry
del Val, papal secretary of state, to
the effect that tho popo would grant
nn nudlonco to Mr. Roosevelt if ho
did not. repeat the mistake made by
Mr. Fairbanks. Tho colonel promptly
called it all off, stating tbat as an In
dependent Amorlcan citizen he could
not submit to such restrictions. The
Leaving the Sorbonne, Paris,
head of tho Methodist mission tried to
mako religious capital out of this, and
Mr. Roosevolt thoreupou canceled tho
plans for a general recoptlon to which
tho Methodists hail boon Invited.
Thus, with hla usual luck and facility
for "coming out on top," ho hnd the
best of tho matter all around nnd hla
comlupt was generally commended nil
over the world.
Mr, nnd Mrs. Roosevolt and Kormlt
wero rocelved by the king and quoen
of Italy and Bpent some days In thnt
country, Tho colonel and his wlfo vis
ited Venice and travelod onco again
tho Rlvlora routo that they passed over
on their honeymoon, and next Mr.
Roosevelt visited Vienna and Buda-
pest, where ho was given a royal wel
come Paris was next on his Itinerary, nnd
there on April 23 ho lectured In tho
Sorbonno beforo a great audlenco of
Bavnnts and students. The municipal
ity and its officials, tho president of
Franco nnd various learned societies
vied with each othor In doing honor to
tho visitor, and for amusement he was
taken to tho field of aviation, where
ho saw some exciting aeroplano
flights.
Trnvellng northward somewhat leis
urely, by way of Brussels, Amsterdam
and Copenhagen, Mr. Roosevelt ar
rived at Christiana and delivered nn
address on International peaco boforo
tho Nobel prlzo commission, which had
awarded to him the Nobel peace prize
for his successful efforts to end the
Russian-Japanese war.

plans for the entertainment of tho ex
president in Berlin, but tho death of
King Edward caused tho curtailment
of ths program to a considerable ox
tent. Instead of being tho kalsor's
guest . In the palace, Mr. Roosevelt
stopped at tho American embassy,
and though William received him and
dlncd him and showed him tho Ger
man nrmy in maneuvers, tho moro
spectacular nnd public features were
omitted. On May 12 Mr. Roosevelt de
livered at the University of Berlin nn
address on modern civilization which
was highly praised for its scholarly
qualities.
Having been appointed special am
bassador of tho United States to at
tend tho funeral of King Edward, Col
onel Roosevelt next crossed tho chan
nol to England, nnd when tho body of
tho dead monarch was carried to the
tomb he was one of the remarkable
crowd of royal personages and distin
guished men that followed tho gun
carriage on which Edwnrd's coffin was
borne. After the funeral he was ro
celvod by King George and Queen
Mary and by tho widowed queen
mother, and In a quiet way mado nec
essary by tho mourning of tho nation
much attention was shown him. This
culminated, In London, by a reception
In the Guild Hall, at 'which tho free
dom of tho city In a gold casket was
presented to him.
Ho was tho guest, thereafter, of
sovcral prominent Englishmen, and
on Juno 7 ho delivered the Romanes
Tecturo at Oxford, which had been
postponed by the demise of tho ,king.
This was the most pretentious of all
his European addresses and tho bc3t
his subject was "Biological Analogies
in History."
Tho University of Cambrldgo hon
ored Mr, Roosovelt by conferring up
on him the degree of doctor of laws,
nnd tho occasion served to demon
rtrato his popularity with all classes.
As Mr. Roosevolt accepted his di
ploma from tho bands of Vlco-Chnn-
collor Mason, tho students who crowd
ed tho galleries shouted "Teddy!
Teddy!" nnd let down n largo Teddy
bear from the colling, Tho whole
audlonco cheered and tho colonel, as
he passed out, smilingly patted the
Teddy boar. Later that day Mr,
Roosovelt addressed 700 graduates, on
all kinds of topics,
On Juno 11 tho travelor, together

RAILROAD MEASURE WILL BE

THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL
Sentiment In the 8enate In Favor of
Houio Amendments to the Postal
Savings Bill.
Washington. Meetings of tho con
ference commlttco, which Is dealing
with tho railroad bill havo resulted,
according to rellablo Information, In
such rapid progress as to warrant tho
belief thnt a report on tho bill may
bo mado to both houses of congress
by tho middle of this week or a day
or two later. This will, It Is asserted,
give abundant tlmo for tho discussion
on tho report on the floor of both
chambers.
With an agreement on the railroad
bill In sight tho membors of congress
aro beginning to flguro on adjourn
ment. Fow members of cither branch
now expect tho session to Inst lougcr
than Thursday, Juno 30, not a few
havo put their guesses as early ns
Juno 25, which is Saturday.
Thero aro not many mattorB of
legislation remaining which aro ex
pected to consume much tlmo. A
canvass of tho senate Indicated a de
cided sentiment In favor of adopting
tho houso amendments to tho postal
savings bank bill. This courso would
avoid a conference, and might easily
savo two or threo days. Tho Buudry
civil bill probably will bo passed by
tho Eeuato early In tho week and tho
general deficiency bill never Is held
up long In the senate.
Tho bill to authorize tho president
to withdraw public lands for conser
vation purposes is the only ono of the
conservation measures slated to go
through this session. To that will be
added, It Is expected, tho bill which
has nlrcady passed tho senate to per
mit tho ls8uanco of certificates of In
debtedness to tho amount of $20,000,
000 to completo reclamation projects.
It ought not to require moro than a
week to completo this bill.
No decision has been reached as to
statehood legislation, but tho general
impression seems to bo thnt nothing
will bo done at the present session.
Rclinblo statements concerning tho
work dono in conference indicate that
much of tho chango to bo Introduced
into tho bill will bo seon at points,
where thero had been comparatively
llttlo controversy on the open floor.
Tho bill contains a number of Import
ant provisions that slipped by without
much debate, and which, tho conferees
feel thoy are safo In altering, parti
cularly as It would appear in certain
cases that those who urged theso pro
visions did not rccognlzo tho large
scopo they wero giving to tho
measuro.
Considorablo anxiety Is felt with
respect to tho long and short haul
clauso provisions, as that which was
passed by tho houso is considered un
constitutional and that of tho sonata
Is held to bo unworkable. An en
deavor Is being made to rowrlto the
long and short haul clauso In such
a way as to conciliate nil sections, The
capitalization sections will havo to go.
President Taft has been eager for
some mensuro of that sort, but there
is so strong a combination in the sen
nto against tho proposition thnt it can.
not bo enacted.
Thoro is a general agreement that
It will bo necessary to retain most or
the radical features of Uio measuro,
upon which thero has been direct and
heated controversy In cither houso of
congress, in order that tho conference
report may not be immediately re
jected. R008EVELT'S HOME COMING.
