The
reception to President Roose{
velt in Jacksonville, Fla., was a hearty
one. Thousands thronged the streets
on his line of march, and the president
showed in his manner his appreelation
of the good -will that was manifested
on every side.
The presidential party arrived at
10:30 Saturday morning on a special
? Southern train. On its arrival at the
\ < depot, where thousands of cheering
people had gathered, a special reception
committee, consisting of Governor
Broward, Mayor Nolan, President
Warner of the board of trade, United
States Senators Taliaferro ana jxuuIory
and Congressmen Sparkman, Lamar
and Clark and Editors Wilson and
Carter, proceeded to the president's
car and gave him a cordial greeting.
The president looked fresh and vigorous
after a night's sleep and expressed
himself delighted with being
in Florida.
After driving through the principal
streets the president was taken to the
Seminole Club, where he made a brief
, address on good citizenship. He was
then driven to Jacksonville board of
trade auditorium and luncheon was
" I served. After luncheon the president
spoke. He devoted his attention
yt ohiefly to the Panama canal and the
relations of the United States with
other American republics.
After luncheon the president was
driven to the negro Baptist academy,
where he delivered a short speech.
Preceding his speech there, was a
brief ceremony in the assembly nail,
in which students participated. This
consisted In the singing of a number
, t of songs especially written for the ocrf
1 casion. The last one entitled, "You
Are # All Right, Teddy," caused the
president to smile broadly,
s ^ " - The president and his party were
then driven around th? city, after
which they were taken to the depot
At 4:45 o'clock the president left for
St. Augustine, the oldest city in the
United States, where he arrived at 6
o'clock.
The city was. in gala attire to welcome
him. From the railroad station
. to the Ponce de Leon hotel, the
:v - streets were made almost as bright as
day with colored electric lignts ana
j? red fire.
On the way to the hotel, the presv
> ident was driven through the city gate,
where he was presented by the school
children with a key to the city, made
. - :of flowers.
A pretty feature of the drive which
pleased the president immensely was
as his carriage was slowly passing
through the city gates a party of
young ladies stationed on top of the
historical gates showered his carriage
> with flowers.
y At 7 o'clock the president was driven
from the hotel to Port Miarion,
where he delivered an address. Here
y a large crowd had gathered and the
greeting extended to him was a warm
one. . % .
In his speech at Fort Marion the
president dwelt on the subject of
V ,:good citizenship," also the aims and
objects of this government.
At the conclusion of his .address,
the president was driven to the Valencia
hotel, where he was the guest
of the board of trade at supper. He
then returned to his hotel and retired.

was a quiet one. He attended services
in the Presbyterian Memorial

was crowded to overflowing. At the
conclusion of the services the president
was taken for a short drive about
the city.

MILITARY ME-N LEAVE JAPAN.
Attaches of Various Governments Are
Given Farewell Dinner by Mikado.
Thirty three foreign military attaches
who were with the Manchurian
army were received in farewell order
i by the emperor at Tokio Thursday
and were afterwards guests at luncheon.
Among them were General Juernett

CONTINUOUS OVATIONS
t --- ~ i ,' ? .'Ar'-i ,
Marked President's Trip Through. Old
North State?Great Day at the'
Raleigh Fair.
i The ovation whieu President Roosevelt
received during his journey
through a portion 01 Virginia Wednesday
was continued Thursday as
he traveled through the state of North
Carolina. Beginning with his arrival
at Raleigh, at 9 o'clock a. m., he was
greeted by the cheering crowds at
Durham, Greensboro, High Point, Lexington,
Salisbury and Charlotte, the
demonstration in Charlotte being a
fitting farewell of the citizens of the
Old Tarheel State.
The feature of the day was tne president's
visit to the fair which is in
progress at Raleigh. There he delivered
an address which dealt with the
important questions of railroad ownership
and the organization of capital
and labor. His speech was given close
attention, and he was frequently interrupted
by hearty applause. He wai
accompanied to the fair grounds by
Mrs. Roosevelt, and she, too, was the
recipient of much attention.
A bit of sentiment was responsible
for a brief stop at Lexington, where
the president was greeted by several
hundred people, to whom he spoke
briefly. Lexington is the county seat of
Davidson county) which was the only
county in North Carolina to give Mr.
Roosevelt a majority at the last national
etection^Another reason for the
request was that the president might
be greeted by the three hundrd orphan
childrn who are being cared for
in an asylum there. The little onet
made a pretty sight, waving tiny
American flags, as the train came to
a stop.
The president's train stopped in
Spartanburg about five minutes on
Thursday night to change engines. A
large crowd had gathered at the station
and the president came on the
rear platform of his car and addressed
them. The following telegrams were
made public Thursday night:
"Columbia, S. C., October 19, 1905.
?Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Charlotte,
N. C.: I wish you a pleasant journey
to Atlanta, where I expeet to
meet you and join in your welcome
to the south. D. C. HEJYWARD,
"Governor."
"Charlotte, N. C., October 19.?Hon.
D. C. Heyward, Governor of South
Carolina, Columbia, S. C.: I thank you
for your most cordial telegram. I remember
with keen pleasure my visit
to South Carolina three years ago,
and only regret that lack of'time forbids
my again visiting your gr.eat
state on this trip.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
MERE BAGATELLE OF CASES.
Fever Scourge is Dwindling Rapidly
at New Orleans.
New Orleans' fever record for
Thursday was as follows: New cases
8, total cases to date 3,343, deaths
none, total deaths to date 435, cases
under treatment 108, cases discharged
2,805.
Thursday was the second day In
succession" that no deaths from yellow
fever occurred. This is remarkable at
this stage of the epidemic, because, as
a rule, toward the end, the death rate
grows as the number of new cases diminishes.
JAPAN THOROUGHLY SATISFIED.
Mikado it Glad that Philippines Are
Held by Uncle Sam.
Declaring that Japan welcomes the !
presence of the United States in the
Philippines, M>r. Takahira, the J*paneee
minister, gave a statement to the
Washington Post Thursday, replying
to its inquiry, in which he says that
Japan feels "great repose about the
Philippines, because they are occupied
by the United States with firm hold of
it? authority over the archipelago, not
to speak of the many object lessons
being given there by the new owner
by introducing modern improvements
in, various ways."

AT MOTHER'S HOME
I President Spends Two Most
f Pleasant Hours in Rosweil.
OLD MEMORIES REVIVED
Welcomed in Atlanta by the Largest
Crowd of People That Was Ever
Gotten Together in Georgia's
Capital City.
President Theodore Roosevelt will
never forget the two hours he spent
in Roswell, Ga., Friday morning.
It was a very quiet affair, but it
touched the heart chords tuned long
ago wnen Theodore Roosevelt leaned
oh his mother's knee and listened
eagerly to stories of the "old home,"
far away in Georgia.
Roswell met the occasion splendidly.
Little flags, a myriad of them,
fluttered in the wind all along the
pretty drive from the station and two
bands greeted the visitor with martial
music. But. despite this, and de
spite the fact that the guest of the day
was the president, no one ever forgot
that the sentiments of the son were
nppermost in his heart and the whole
occasion was arranged to gratify his
feelings rather than those of his
hosts.
There were few people in the welcoming
group, not closely related to
the men and women of the neighborhood
of old Roswell when Theodore
Roosevelt, Sr., came down from New
York to wed pretty Martha Bulloch,
and the old house amid the trees
was full of inarticulate voices, familiar,
sweetly sad to the ears and heart
of the man in the Prince Albert coat
and silk hat, who alighted from his
carriage and began shaking hands
right 'and. left. In his address the
president said in part: "You have no
idea of how much it means to me to
come back to Rosweil, to the home of
my mother and of my mother's people
and to see the spot which I already
know so well from what my mother
and my aunt have told me. It has
been exactly as if I were revisiting
some old place of my childhood.
"It has been my very great good
fortune to have the right to claim that
my blood Is half southern and half
northern, and I would deny the right
of any man here to feel a greater
pride in the deeds of every southerner
than I feel Of the children, the brothers
ana sisters of my mother who
were born and brought up in that
house on the hill there, my two uncles
afterward entered the confederate
service and served in the confedrate
navy."
At the station the final farewells
were said to the committee, the Marietta
band played one more air and
the president and his party hoarded
the train again for the short hut pleasant
trip over the Southern railroad
to Atlanta, where the eager thousands
were awaiting them.
In all her history Atlanta never accorded
quite so royal and enthusiastic
a welcome to an honored guest
as that given to President Roosevelt.
Almost from the moment he stepped
from his train upon arrival at the
terminal station, he found himself sup
rounded by admiring thousands who
crowded the approaches and lined the
streets, often far beyond the limits
fixed by the police. ' .
Tall buildings and store tops became
grand stands for thousands who
were fortunate enough to climb above
the tightly packed masses of humanity
on the sidewalks below, where motion
was praotically impossible.
Tt was the unanimous opinion that
Atlanta had broken the record of
all her largest crowds. For more
than a mile along the line of march
from the terminal station the people
thronged the streets.
Kurino Goes Back to Russia.
It is reported in Tokio that M. Kurino,

j That peace hath her victories no
j less renowned than war was never 1
better exemplified than in the recep- j
tioa accorded to Theodore Roosevelt, J I
president of the United States, during !
his two hours' stay in tne uis.onc ^
city of Mobile, Ala., Monday even- J S
ing.
There was a general closing of all
business houses and along the route j
of the procession from the union de- i
pot to the stand on Bienville square, !
where the reception ceremonies took |
place the residences and stores were j ]
covered with decorations of lights and j f
bunting in the national colors. The J
route lay out Government street, one j
of the most noted cwives in the south, ! *
for ten blocks, passing the homes of j
some of Mobile's most influential cit- I
izens, her chief educational institu- t
tions, the Barton academy, and one
of her historic churches, the Govern, j
ment Street Presbytcrrian. | 1
The president seemed to be deeply , ?
touched by his reception and alluded j 1
to the warmth of the greeting in his s
speech, in which he said, in part: j
"I cannot sufficiently express my j
appreciation of the magnificent greet- j
ing that you have given ine today, j *
The man would be but a poor Ameri- !
can who could meet you here, my (
fellow citizens, without being stirred *
and feeling that he must even more i (
than before strive to do all that in !
him lies for our common country. I *
know that the rest of you will not *

raiing here today. I have just been J 1
presented by Judge Semmes with a j
beautiful badge. I passed by the 1
statue of Admiral Semmes as we j 1
drove up hither. Adk?Jral Semmes had | *
under him on the Alabama one of j ^
my uncles, and it "was another uncle 1
that built the Alabama. The judge's 1
sister, the admiral's daughter, is the *
wife of that distinguished ex-confeder- 1
ate who by his rule as governor of
the Philippines has held aloft the 1
record of American rule for Integrity, i 1
efficiency and firmness.
"The last time I came through this j
beautiful, historical city of yours, I j
was going with my own regiment to ! '
the Spanish war, and in that regiment
I think there were more men whose
fathers wore the gray than there were i
men whose fathers wore the blue. But 7
they marched in that spirit symbolized j
by your marching today, carrying the | i
United States flag, for they recogniz- j 1
ed but one spirit of emulation, the j *
emulation to strive which could do ! (
most for the flag of our common (
country." *
W. R. Brassell, secretary of the
Alabama board of health, boarded the I 1
special train of President Roosevelt ! '
at Brinson, Ga., and upon affidavits j 1
of Surgeon General Rixey, issued a

All the papers give prominence to (
the report. { - ,
Count Witte, it now seems, has defl- j

the shrewdest observers consider it
certain that he will shortly be in active
direction of the government as
premier and head of a responsible t
cabinet Since his return from the ^
United States Count Witte has boldly
ranged himself on the side of the
liberals, and has not only advocated j
complete - liberty of speech of the
press and of assembly, but has urged
the extension of the powers of the j
douma along the lines demonstrated i
by the reformers as well as a broader I
franchise so as to admit of fuller rep- j *
