The Japa nese threats against France are not taken very seriously htre. The Russian author! 'You are authorized to state that I will not again be a candidate for the office of president of the United States. There are no strings on this statement. I mean it. "I made my speech at Denver for the purpose of convincing the people of my earnestness In regard to the matter of railroad legislation. I will not be satisfied with any compromise that does not bring relief to the people from the conditions that now exist In regard to transportation affairs In this country. No compromise bill from congress will be accepted." This Is President Roosevelt's reply to a representative of The Bee on his special train as It Journeyed across Nebraska. Published statements to the effect that the president would be forced to accept a renomlnatlon by the people, who would be aroused to that pitch by the failure of the congress to enact remedial legislation, was shown him. Ho expressed himself most emphatically that he was not to be swayed from his determination by any ad vances that might be made him, no matter In what disguise they came. Emphatic In Ills Stand. President Roottevelt said that he made his speech at Denver to make It certain to the people that he would stand for no compromise legislation and that there will be no law enacted which will tend to make the people think that they have won a victory when in reality there Is only minor legislation, such as bills to regulate pri vate cars, private sidetracks or terminal lines, or bills providing means for more expeditious hearing of rate cases In the federal courts. The president says that he will not accept any measure of legis lation that does not give relief to the peo ple, and that he will exert his Influence to get through congress legislation to en large the powers of the Interstate Com- rr.ercs commission and to protect the coun try from unjust exactions and abuses, and at the same time doing nothing that could be Injurious to a railroad when honestly and fairly managed. ' He alluded to the Insinuation that the fight now waging Is likely to result In his ' being continued In office for another term, He said he wanted It understood that there are no strings to his statement that he will not consider another term, and thfit under no condition will he accept the nom 1 nation and stand for election for another term at the White House.

The receptions given him all through the south were the subject of comment from the president, and he said that It was gratl tying to him to receive such receptions and also to see the progress which the south Is making. '' Hundreds Disappointed at Omaha Hundreds of people were disappointed last night when, after going to the Union sta tion to see the president, they learned to their sorrow that the Itnerary had been changed and the presidential train had been t irned aver to the Northwestern at Ames The officials of the Union Pacific said that the president had made no arrangement to top or speak at Omaha or Council Bluffs, and that It was found that better time cfould be made by running the train across the river at Blair to Missouri Valley and not to come through Omaha. The change was decided upon late yeater- day afternoon and the private car of Vlre President MrCullough of the Northwestern with Mr. McCullough and General Manage Gardner aboard, was switched to the Web tar street depot and sent to Fremont ove the Northwestern. The crowd, which filled the depot and crowded the viaduct, refused to believe the police when told that the president would not come through, and not until the Union Pacific pilot train pulled Into tho depot and Bill Canada Jumped off and In a loud voice told them that the president would not be through would they depart for home. On the pilot train were Chancellor An drews, EdHon Rich, Treasurer Ernst of the Burlington and Mr. Duln, who had been at tending a meeting of the regfnts of the University of Nebraska at Lexington; Vice President Mohler of the Union Pacific, Senator Burkett, E.
