Items of Interest

President Roosevelt returned last week to Washington after completing a trip that covered 6,006 miles and took him through twelve States and three Territories. The trip was marked everywhere by the heartiest demonstrations. In Chicago he stayed about twelve hours. At his reception at the Merchants' Club his address touched upon the Navy; at the Harvard Club, of the desirability of the West winning Harvard; at the Hamilton Club, where the foreign consuls were present, he eulogized Hamilton; at the Iroquois Club, the leading Democratic organization of Illinois, he was received with great enthusiasm. In his address he clearly stated the intention of the Administration to push the matter of railroad rare regulation. The tenor of this address at Chicago was also followed in the address of Secretary Taft at Washington before the International Railway Convention in session there last week.
