The committee from the house to fix the time of adjournment of the session met that appointed by the senate Thursday and an informal dis cussion of the end of the session was indulged in.

The death rate in bills reported from committees was exceedingly high Friday morning.

Clark's bill for $50,000 for a new institution for the blind was put out of business. Buck's bill for the repeal of the Sheldon one-mill levy was also ditched. The last of the victims was H. R. 459, which in tended to reduce the state board of assessment to include only the gover nor, secretary of state and the treasurer. Oyster Bay, N. Y. Happy in the prspect of his departure Tuesday morning for his long-planned African "safari' or hunting trip, ex-President Roosevelt was the soul of good hu mor Sunday at his home at Saga more Hill, where the members of his family gathered for a final reunion before the long journey to the jungle.

Henry Washburn, rector of the church, in corporated a special prayer for Mr. Roosevelt's safe return, in the regular prayer. Several of the congregation pressed about Mr. Roosevelt at the close of the church service and wished him a fine journey and good luck. Mr. Roosevelt and his wife made the long trip back to Sagamore Hill on foot and seemed not to mind the clouds of dust raised by passing ve hicles; rather. Mr. Roosevelt took it as an experience that might likely be met on the dry veldt outside of Nairobi, where he will make his headquarters in British East Africa. After luncheon Mr. Roosevelt, with two officials of the steamship com pany, made a careful inspection of all the baggage in order to see that everything was right and tight for the four-weeks trip to Mombassa.

"I am going to New York in the morning," said Mr. Roosevelt, "and will go to the steamer to inspect my quarters and see that my personal baggage is safely cared for.' I shall take with me my wearing apparel, rifles, ammunition, one tent from here, books and some scientific in struments." New York. Immediately upon the arrival of the steamer Hamburg at Its pier, a score of carpenters and decorators were set to work remodel ing the suit of staterooms which Mr. Roosevelt is to occupy. The original imperial suite consisted. of only three rooms. The alterations will make the suite one of five rooms. Under the supervision of an expert decorator, brought over from Ger many, the entire suite will be rear ranged. The first room will be a drawing room immediately off which will be Mr. Roosevelt's bedroom. Connecting with this will be a dress ing room, after which will come Ker mit Roosevelt's room, and last of all the bathroom.
