of

Theodore Roosevelt's bunting trip In Africa, ofllcially known as the Smithsonian African expedition, lastod uoarly eleven months and was most successful In every way. The colonel's desire to hunt big game was uot all that was back of the trip, for the Smithsonian Institution wanted specimens of the fauna and flora of tho Dark Continent and commissioned tho t'X-presldent to obtain thom. For this reason, a part of tho expenses were borne by the institution, but Mr. Roosevelt paid all the expenses of hitnsolf and his son Kermlt, presumably earning much of them by his articles In a magazine for which he received a record-breaking price. Not wasting much time after leaving the White House, Colonel Roosevelt sailed from New York on the steamship Hamburg, beaded fir Naples. With him were Kern; it and three naturalists. Major Mearns, Edmund Heller and J. Alden Loring. and stowed in the hold was most of their elaborate outfit tor killing or photographing the animals of East Afrlo". and for preserving the si clmens destined for the Smithsonian Institution.

Mennwhllo Kormlt was busy with bis cameras and the naturalists prepared tho specimens. George McMillan, an American, was tho next host of the hunters, and several weoks were spent on his flno Ju

Ja ranch and lu tho surrounding country. There the gamo was very plentiful and many lino specimens were bagged. Membors of tho party made several extensive trips of exploration, notably on and around Mount Kenia. Tho expedition left East Africa Docomber 19, crossed Uganda and went down the White Nile, getting back to comparative civilization at Gondokoro. There they went aboard a stoamer put at their disposal by the sirdar, and Journeyed to Khartum, where Mrs. Roosevelt met her husband, and accompanied him In a leisurely trip to

Scarcely less Interesting than his hunting trip In Africa, and at times almost as exciting, were the adven-

pest, whero ho was given n royal welcome. Paris was next on his Itinerary, and thero on April 23 he lectured In tho Sorbonno boforo a great audlonco of savants and students. Tho municipalIt. and Its oftlclnlB, tho president of Krnuco anil various learned societies vied with each other In doing honor to the visitor, and for 'amusement ho was taken to the field of avlntlon, whore ho saw somo exciting aeroplane nights. Traveling northward somowhat leisurely, by way of Brussels, Amsterdam nnd Copenhagen, Mr. Roosevelt arrived at Christiana and delivered an address on international peace before tho Nobel prize commission, which had awardod to him tho Nobel peace prize for his successful efforts to end tho Russian-Japanese war.

In a preliminary report to tho Smithsonian Institution Mr. Roosevelt summarized the material results of the expedition as follows: On the trip Mr. Heller has prepared 1.020 specimens of mammals, the majority of large site; Mr. Loring has prepared S.163. nnd Doctor Mearns 711 a total of "i.SOT mammals.

Km perors, kings, princes and nil mannt r of royalties and nobility greeted hit", dined him and toasted him. and the people in all the lands thu he vlsitt 1 turned out In vast throngs to see him aad cheer him. In Paris, t'hristlania. Berlin and Ox ford Mr. Roosevelt delivered scholarly public addrestes nnd the llturnry and scientific circles' opened to let him in and marveled at the wide scope ol his knowledge. The event connected with Mr. Roosevelt's European tour that aroused the most Interest and excitement occurred immediately after his arrival in Italy early In April. Before he left Africa his desire to p:iy his respects to the pope had beeu conveyed to the Vatican nnd the holy

father had intimated that he would be j

glad to sen tho distinguished American. About the same time former Vice-President Fairbanks was in Rome and had arranged for an audiem e at the Vatican which was cancelled by the pope because Mr. Fairbanks iirst addressed the Methodist

A great throng of friends and admirers bade the colonel farewell, and he sailed away, but could not entirely separate, himself from the world, for practically all the way acros the Atlantic wireless communication with the Hamburg was maintained. Moreover, at the Azores, and again at Gibraltar, he found the olllclals and people Insisted on doing him honor, and when he reached Naples on April 5 tho entire populace turned out to greet him with flowers and cheers. Hoarding the Gorman steamship Admiral for .Mombasa. Mr. Roosevelt found In his cabin a quantity of flowers and a letter from Emperor William wishing him "good hunting." At Mossinn a stop was made to view the earthquake ruins, and thero. at King

Victor Emmanuel's request, Mr. Roosevelt nnd Kermit visited the Italian monarch on board the battleship Ilex Umberto. Tho party arrived at Mombasa April 21 and vas received by Acting Governor Jackson, who had been Instructed by the British government to do all In bis power .0 further the plans of the expedition. Unusual privileges were granted the hunters, nnd Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit were licensed to kill lions. At Mombasa the party was Joined

Taking trnln to Kapltll plains, the jarty became the guests of Sir Alfred Pease on his ranch. An Immense caravan of 200 persons was organized and on April 25 Colonel Roosevelt had his first African hunt. On this occasion ho bagged two wildebeests and a Thompson's gazelle.

Mr. Roosevelt thereupon canceled the plans for a general reception to which tho xMothodlsts had been Invited. Thus, with his usual luck nnd facility for "coming out on top." he had the best of tho matter all around and his conduct was generally commended all over tho world. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Kermlt wero received by tho king and queen of Italy and spent some days In that country. Tho colonel and his wife visited Venice and traveled once again tho Riviera route thai they passed over on their honeymoon, and next Mr. Ooosevelt visited Vlenua and Buda-

onel Roosevelt next crossed the channel to England, and when the body of the dead monarch was carried to the tomb ho was ono of the remarkable

crowd of royal personages and dlstinguished men that followed the gun carriage on which Edward's coffin was Lorno. After the funeral he was received by King George and Queen Mary and by the widowed queen mother, and in a quiet way made necessary by the mourning of the nation much attention wa3 shown him. This culminated. In London, by a reception in the Guild Hall, at which tho freedom of the city in a gold casket was presented to him. He was the guest, thereafter, ot several prominent Englishmen, and on June 7 he delivered the Romanes lecture at Oxford, which had been

postponed by tho domlse of the king. This was the most pretentious of all his European addresses and the best, his subject was "Biological Analogies in History." The University of Cambridge hon ored Mr. Roosevelt by conferring up on him tho degree of doctor of laws and the occasion served to demon rtratc his popularity with all classea As Mr. Roosevelt accepted his dl

plonm from the hands of Vice-Chan collor Mason, tho students who crowded the galleries shouted "Teddy' TeddyP1 and lot down a large Teddy bear from the celling. Tho whole nudlenco cheered and the colonel, as he passed out, smilingly patted the Teddy bear. Later that day Mr Roosevelt addressed 700 graduates, on all kinds of topics.
