THE STOBAY OREGONIAN, .PORTliAND, APRII 16, 1905. AT HUME IN CAM Roosevelt Forgets Cares .of Office. OUT AFTER GRIZZLIES Looks His Last on Civilization for Weeks. WILL TAKE NO RASH CHANCES With a Ringing Send-Off From New castle, He Hits the Trail With ; Hunters, Horses and Hounds. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 15. (Special.) President Roosevelt Is making himself at home at Camp No. 1, about two and a. half miles southwest of New castle, a little town 12 miles northwest of this place. This morning the departure of his troop of mounted, men and hounds .and guns made a picturesque spectacle, as the cavalcade wound along the trail on the side of the mountain near Newcastle. Be sides the 400 or 500 natives, a large num ber of Denver newspaper reporters and railroad men. witnessed his departure. The President is threatened with unwelcome visftsfrom over-cnterprlslng reporters, but he has given them all ample warn ing, and. should they meet with hard ships along ibe trail, it will be their own fault' The native population is disposed to leave the President by himself. He shook hands this morning with most of them, and, although they were disappointed bo cause he did not afford an exhibition of broncho-busting, they voted him a good fellow and wished him a successful hunt. A rancher brought to town a ragged looking black bear cub and tried to get Jake Borah, the guide, to purchase It and turn it loose for the President to chase and shoot. Naturally the offer was de clined. Jn fact, the danger to the hunt Is that It Is yet early In the season, and the grizzly bears, the ones who can af ford the best sport, are In all probability still holed up In the snow. One, however, does not realize this here, where the grass on the lawn is green and a hundred peo ple are bathing in a great open-air pool of warm water. He Goes Well Armed. Incidentally It is well known that Mr. KooBevelt is hot going to take any daring chances in this hunt. In spite of lurid stories that. he. is going to kill the bears with a hunting-knife, he actually took with him both a rifle and a heavy re volver, and will rely upon these to bring down the game. The party has with it about 20 hounds. big, husky ones, which look as If they could give a good account of themselves in an encounter with almost any kind of animal. If the bears fall to appear, the hunt will be given up to bobcats and lynxes. The hunting party is about as isolated as it could be in any part of the United States. Newcastle, while easily accessible on the Colorado Midland, offers little comfort for the wayfarer at this time of year. Every peak surrounding the village is covered with enow, and the roads to the southward toward the Penny ranch are hard to travel. In addition, the camp Is well guarded, and so large a tract has been reserved for the President's pleasure that other hunting outfits would be turned back if found trespassing. Colorado news. papers have published editorials advis ing that the President be let alone to en joy hlmsolf to the utmost. Cut Off From Communication. Before starting up the trail to the camp the President told his friends not to wor ry if they did not hear from him for three or four days at a time, as he ex pected to have something more to do than write messages'. Helpers at the camp are expected often to come to the near-by villages, for supplies, and tales of the hunt will be brought -out by them. Without this limited means of communi cation, the President might remain in tho mountain fastnesses for w'eeks and noth ing be heard from him. Instructions have been given. If anything is wanted of the President during the time he is on his hunt, to apply to Mr. Loeb. So well have the departments in Washington taken care of XSovernmental affairs that Mr. Ixeb's mall has been light ever since starting out, nearly two weeks ago. DEPARTURE FROM NEWCASTLE -SJjakes Hands With Whole Popuia njon Before Going to Camp. NEWCASTLE. Colo., April 15.

President, dressed in his shooting clothes of heavy tan duck, greeted the mmnla frnm thft rear nlatform. He was cheered wildly. After the speech was made and the little conventionalities has been observed, the President gave per sonal supervision to his hunting outfit. He unsheathed his knife and felt its keen edge, unlimbered his gun and saw lint it ws In fine worklnc order and looked over the horse, that had been citori fnr Tils ride to the camn. This animal is said to be one of the most sure-footed mountain climbers In this part of the country, but is not noted for speed. Road Lined With Bonfires. The time here was pleasantly occupied.

It has heen announceo, now. ever, that the gift of the iron horse was not accepted. The run to this village was pleasant. Huge bonfires lighted the way during the night and the inhabitants of the towns en route stayed up until far in the morning to cheer the President as he passed through. Getting nip early, the party had their breakfast of fresh mountain trout on the train, and with curtains raised lewed the magnificent scenery along the route of the Colorado Midland. Near Basalt there was a slight acci dent. The first car of the special train hit a rock that had slid down to tho edge of the tracks. The only damage was the knocking of a cap off the rear truck of the car "Viceroy." Not Catching Bears by Hand. Guides John Goff, Jake Borah and Brick P. Wells, In picturesque mountain cos tumes, busied themselves In giving com mands for the start. In addition to the President's personal party, which Is com posed of himself. Dr. Alexander Lambert and r. s. Stewart, or Colorado springs, ten men rode to the hunting camp today. Five more were already at the camp, with everything ready for the comfort of the party. Before starting the President announced confidentially that he was not going Into any hand-to-hand encounters with griz zlies nor to strangle any mountain Hons with bar hands. He does not expect to bag any record-breaking amount of game and will feel satisfied If he gets one bear during the whole hunt, and particularly fortunate if he gets two. His rapid-firing ANOTHER LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Is AH Life Insurance at.a Standstill? 7 Recent disclosures and mutuallzation discussions have- served- to enlighten the public and emphasize the fact that there Is a vast difference in life insurance companies. THE PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OP PHILA DELPHIA, as the name implies. Is mutual; It Is PURELY mutual It, was "mutuallzed" at organization, nearly CO years ago. It has no capital stock. It -has no proxy voting, but Is personally "conducted solely for members by members." For many years the advertisements of the PENN MUTUAL have con tained the admonition, "INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU INSURE." More people are investigating BEFORE insuring than ever. As a con sequence, the business of the PENN MUTUAL Is not at a standstill, but. on the contrary, the showing for the first three months of 1905 Is larger than the showing for any like period In the history of the company. THE PENN MUTUAL has no foreign business, operating ONLY In the healthy portions of the United States. The company was never In a more flourishing condition or the business so large. IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, the storm center of the Insurance exposures, each of the first three months of 1906 shows a sub stantial gain over the same month In 1SKH, the total increase being nearly half a million dollars, while the gain for the whole business of the com pany Is $3,299,444. In the North Pacific Department, including Oregon, Washington and Idaho, there has been a. GAIN THIS YEAR over last In EACH STATE EACH MONTH. Many people are Investigating before in suringthat is why the business of the PENN MUTUAL Is increasing. AS INTERESTING TABLE. j Pean Mutual Gains In Basincw Over 1604.

The parade planned to. take place here today did not materialize. It had been arranged to form a procession led by the miners' brass band, a caged bear and the President's party on horseback. This pageant was to pass through the village streets and into the hills, where the bear was to be turned loose and given a start of 30 minutes. The State Humane Society broke up the plans on the grounds that the bear might return to the village and carry off some of the children. It had been caged so long that It was quite vicious. After the Humane Society had Interfered the captors- of the bear tried to sell it to Guides Goff and Borah, but they said they would take their game wild, as domesticated animals had no at traction for the President on an occasion of thla character. At 11:15 o'clock the party started at an easy canter over the hills to the perma nent camp, which Is located on East Divide Creek, on the Charles Penny ranch, about 23 miles . southwest of Newcastle. There Is about a foot of snow In that section, and bear tracks were seen there as late as yesterday. When the party had gone out of sight, the Presi dent's train was returned to Glenwood Springs, wheie Secretary Loob Is to have his headquarters. The encounter of the President's special with a rock at Basalt resulted In no fur ther Inconvenience than the mere break ing of a cap on the rear truck of the Vice roy, the first car of the train. The rock had fallen near tho track, and not upon it, and wag barely grazed by the car when turning a curve. The President was rid ing in his own car, the Racket, and was not informed of the accident.

YIELD TO CHICAGO'S WISH Representative of Stockholders Pre diets That Municipal Ownership WIN Be Accomplished Soon-1 Can't Stem the Tide. CHICAGO, April 15. (Speclal.)-R. R. Govin, former receiver of the Union Trac tion & Light Company, and a member of tho firm of Holllns & Co.. of New York, the representative of Eastern Interests In Union Traction properties, made the state ment today that munlicpal traction own ership -would be an established fact In Chicago within three months.

The Indisputable fact that was patent to every thinking person, he said, and that it would be folly to Ignore, was that the Idea of mu nlclpal ownerrhip was in tho ascendency and that no power could stem It. "Not only municipal ownership, but mu nicipal operation of the two great trac tion systems of Chicago will be an estab llshed fact, in my opinion, within three months. I mean a reasonable period, but It will not be much more than 90 days. The voters declared for It tho Mayor wants to bring this about, and we are de slrous of doing everything we ean to fa cilitate acquisition by the city." Owners of traction properties know it. and they are willing to sell their lines to the city at a fair price. He states, how ever, that no negotiations have been en tered into between the city and the trac tion people. The rumor in traction circles was that the city would firat seek an expert's es timate of the cost of duplicating a system like tho Union Traction and the City Rail way, to reach an approximate Idea "of the probable value of theso two systems. That done, the next thing wd"uld be to deter mine the value of the unexpired franchise, and the total sum would be near the price the city would be willing to pay for the properties. VOTES CENSURE ON PREMIER Hungarian Diet Stand Firm in Con fllct With Austria. BUDAPEST. April 15. The lower house of the Diet today passed the motion of Herr Eotov for a vote of censure on ex Premier Tlsza for being actuated by polit ical motives in raising the pension of the late President of the House Perczol von Bonyhad from $1600 to $3000. The motion was carried by a large majority. The house then adjourned until May 3. The solution of the Ministerial crisis Is delayed meanwhile. The united opposition shows no signs of weakening in its de mands or of disintegration, neither does the crown give evidence of a tendency to withdraw from Its previous utterances or attitude. The situation, consequently, is serious, to say the least. Hungary feels she Is now combatting Austria politically for the recognition of certain external rights which mean much to her national existence, the loss of which would se rlously threaten her future independence and lead to a state of affairs between Austria and Hungary which Hungary could not accept with tranquillity. Therefore, the Hungarians aro very like Jy to remain firm, hoping to force certain concessions from tne crown, each one of which would mean to Increase Hungarian Independence of Austria, as well as a step toward ultimate complete Hungarian na tional Independence. It is believed In well Informed quarters here that some com promise will be reached between Hungary and the crown before the address comes up for discussion, thus avoiding possible heated debates besides the necessity of sending the address to the crown. KING DESIRES "NO CHANGE. He Wishes Balfour to Retain Office White War Continues. LONDON, April 15. (Special.) King Edward's strong desire that there shall be no changcof government In London until the crisis In the Far East is passed is understood to explain the extraordinary efforts of the Ministe rlalists to unite their factions upon a fighting programme. All the week the Times, Standard and Morning Post, the only papers with which Mr. Balfour will confess himself familiar, have been urging him to confer with Jo seph Chamberlain In the Interest of combined and aggressive action. The Unionists are terribly tired of being on the defensive. Mr. Balfour Is above most men loyal, The wishes of the King are consulted bofore any consideration not Involving 4 sacrifice of high principle. Tnere is little 'doubt that he would have laid down office six months ago had not the pressure been too great to be resisted. The Liberal chiefs aro none too eager to assume office at a time when the British Interests are so threatened. They 'do not wish to shoulder the bur den of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Lord Rosebery has consented to take the foreign portfolio If the Liberals form a Cabinet under Spencer .and he has announced his full adhere'nee to the pact with Japan. But Rosebery has enjomvd his following not to embarrass the government. He Is In no hurry for Lansdowne's -post. If further evidence were needed of the dissensions among the Liberals over their Irish pro gramme, it was supplied by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's response to a direct question as to what they would do lor Ireland If they nad their -way. MAY. TACKLE THE POPE NEXT Emperor William Has Scores to Set tle at Vatican. ROME, April 15. It is rumored that Em peror William, who is In. Sicily, may pay a short visit to Rome, make the personal acquaintance of the pope and agree with him on several difficult questions, chief of which are the sectarianism of ceme teries, raised by Bishop Wllllbroxd Benz- ler, of Metz, who has refused to permit the burial of Catholics In Catholic ceme teries In which Protestants have "been burled. This, It is understood, annoyed the Em peror very much, and ho would like to have the archbishop removed, but the Vat ican resists the demand. Archbishop Benz- ler having been appointed on Emperor William's request Another serious question is that the Catholic Poles are -supported by the pope In their struggle against the Prussian gov ernment, which is trying to destroy their nationality. Turkey Settles With France. PARIS, April 15. A dispatch to the Temps from Constantinople says the French Ambassador. M. Cons tans, has received an Imperial lrade making a complete and definite settlement of the French claims. It gives an indemnity of $7,000,000 for the controversy over the Damascus-Nazrlb railroad, and Insures continuous French control of the road and also accords as damages $320,00J to the French company operating the quays of Constantinople.
