w WASHINGTON February y, 1912.
DEAR SIR Much dislike appearing in the
controversy between you and Mr. Bolts have upon
due reflection, determined to forward you the state
ment required, in your favor of the 9Th instant which
is as follows:
Shortly after MIR. Bolts made the statement to the
House OF Representatives the accuracy of which is
now the issue between you, he came to my seat and
versation on the steamboat Champion, on her trip
from Baltimore to Norfolk, Judge Barbour and
others being present. l replied that | did not
recoect it. MIR. Bolts then attempted to arouse my
memory, by reminding me that was acting as cap
tain that on the trip we had a considerable storm.
which produced much alarm among the passengers
that they desired to make harbor, but first deputed
him Mr.. Botts) to call upon that he did So and
that gave him such strong assurances of the entire
absence of all danger that all apprehension al
layed and that it the first time he had ever
known me-
To this replied that well remembered most of
the incidents above detailed, but that could not re-
collect the conversation with Judge Upshur, that
he was ever aboard and that had no recollection
of ever having seen him, or of having any acquaint-
ance with him, until 1888, in the city Of Richmond,
where, for the first time, was introduced to him.
day or two thereafter, Mr.. Bolts again to
my seat and inquired the time at which the Champi-
on running the Chesapeake l replied in
1885 He then inquired whether it were in 1895 or
1886. | replied 1885. In the fall, he inquired?
answered yes.
Thinking it possible | might have misunderstood
Mr.. Bolts as to the ,oater where the Champion was,
when the imputed conversation occurred, (having
seen Mr.. Harrison's statement,) | called upon MIR.
Bolts and informed him that you had applied to me
for statement of the above conversations between
us, and inquired of him whether he had said that his
conversation with you on the Chesapeake bay
on James river. To which Mr.. Bolts replied that it
was on James river, but during the trip
on which the storm overlook u.s. you having stopped
in Norfolk, while he (Mr. Bats) continued on to Bal
tmore
| think it proper to inform you that have given
MIR. Bolts copy of this letter at his request
With great respect your obedient servant,
VIM. SMITH.

FATHER MILLER AND HIS DorNes.-At the recent
Camp Meeting at Newark, Father Miller made about
100 converts; one man is about to sell his property

his to the amount of $1,000. AT Newark, the con.
Germ lost 500, which had to be made up by the con-
