Tbe greatest welcome ever given a PI bome-coming American, in point of en- ' tbusiasm, i! not ol aire, was accorded ex C ' President Roosevelt last Saturday when r i he landed at New York after bis year and 5 1 a bait absence. Thousands went down O the bay to meet faim in vessels ot ail Z kinds. Every craft in tbe harbor whis tled its shrill welcome. When he landed at the Battery, Mayor Gaynor tendered him an official greeting, to wbicb he re sponded in a heartfelt manner, voicing bis satisfaction in his return to bia be loved country, "tbe greatest democratic republic upon wbicb tbe sun has ever shown." He expressed himself as ready to help solve tbe great public problems of the present, but further tban that he made no reference to such matters. As be passed up Broadway ba was greeted by the cheers of thousands that lined tbe streets. A part of the welcoming throng were 42 Bough Riders, remnant of Col. Roosevelt's old command.

There was no set program, jusc a spontaneous welcome. At its close tbe Koosevelt par- , IT went Oirecl 10 ineir uysieru-y uure, where tbey will live in as much privacy as possible, receiving uone but invited guests and denying themselves to inter viewers. Mr. Roosevelt refuses to dis cuss politics at this time. He baa re sumed service as one of the editors of the Outlook, aud visits its New York office during the week. In the fall he will make a tour of the country. Though technically exempt from paying duties, as a returning ambassador, Roosevelt io siited on paying tee usual fees at tbe cus toms cilice amounting to atout 300.

Unclai Sam After Malefactor. The United Wireless company ol ew J", hd"i I "" ,.WeV . p" o Ulcers that the pany was largely a promotion scheme, that tbe busmesa was running at lose, that the stock was advanced by manipulation, realiiing Immense profits to the operators, and that some 28,000 stockholders, mostly in the West, have been fleeced.

He directed the attorney-general to proceed against the parties by injunction, and to prosecute thera if tbe fight was held. He also forbade tbe Langford-Kaufinan fight to be held Saturday. His course has thrown consternation into the ranka of tbe fighting contingent. Tex Bicard, promoter of the match, says the flaht will surely take place, either at San Fran in nr Keno.
