TREATED AS FIRST
AMERICJJF TIME
Theodore Roosevelt Most Highly
Honored in Europe.
EXCITING INCIDENT IN ROME
Former President Delivered Scholarly
Lectures in Paris, Berlin and Ox
ford Represented His Country
at King Edward's Funeral.
Scarcely less interesting than bis
hunting trip in Africa, and at times
almost as exciting, were the adven
tures of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in
Europe. There he desired to be treat
ed as a man of letters and science,
rather than as a sportsman, and his
desire was gratified. But In addition.
Europe Insisted on receiving him as
the i:.o:U distinguished American nf
the time, and everywhere be went
honors were showered on him. Em
perors, kings, princes and all manner
of ro .titles and nobility greeted him,
dined him and toasted him. and the
people in all the lands that he visited
turned out in vast throngs to see him
and cheer him.
In Paris, Christlania, Berlin and Ox
ford Mr. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope of bis
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr.
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred immediately after his
arrival in Italy early In April. Before
he left Africa his desire to pay bis
respects to the pope had been con
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father bad Intimated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri
can. About the same time former .
Mr. Roosevelt thereupon canceled the
plans for a general reception to which
the Methodists bad been invited.
Thus, with his usual luck and facility
for "coming out on top," be had the
best of the matter all around and bis
conduct was generally commended all
over the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Kermit
were received by the king and queen
of Italy and spent some days In that
country. The colonel and his wife vis
ited Venice and traveled once again
the Riviera route that they passed over
on their honeymoon, and next Mr.
Roosevelt visited Vienna and Buda
pest, where he was given a royal wel
come. Paris was next on his itinerary, and
there on April 23 be lectured In the
Sorbonne before a great audience of
savants and students. The municipal
it. and its officials, the president of
France and various learned societies
vied with each other in doing bonor to
the visitor, and for amusement be was
taken to the field of aviation, where
he saw some exciting aeroplane
flights.
Traveling northward somewhat leis
urely, by way of Brussels. Amsterdam
and Copenhagen. Mr. Roosevelt 'ar
rived at Christiana and delivered an
address on international peace before
the Nobel prize commission, which had
awarded to him the Nobel peace prize
for his successful efforts to end the
Russian-Japanese war.
Emperor William had made great
plans for the entertainment of the ex
president in Berlin, but the death of
King Edward caused the curtailment
of tti program to a considerable ex
tent Instead of being the kaiser's
guest in the palace. Mr. Roosevelt
stopped at the American embassy,
and though William received him and
dined him and showed him the Ger
man army In maneuvers, the more
spectacular and public features were
omitted. On May 12 Mr. Roosevelt de
livered at the University of Berlin an
address on modern civilization which
was highly praised for Its scholarly
qualities.

Unearthing Ancient Harbor of Rome.
For the last year systematic exca

ancient harbor of Rome at the mouth
of the Tiber. The ruins of a large
city, built probably by Hadrian over
the old republican town, have been
uncovered. Archeologists consider
the discoveries as important as those
of Pompeii. Heretofore it has been
belie ed that Ostla was founded by
Ancus Martlus, the fourth king of
Rome, that it was destroyed by
Marlus during the civil wars, rebuilt
during the republic, sank Into insig
nificance, and was buried in the sand
and deposited In the Tiber when Tra
jan built the new port and city of
Portus. Instead of this it Is now cer
tain that Ostla not only continued to
flourish under Hadrian, but that the
old level was raised six feet and that
