In response thereto a very accurate reporter
was sent to the Brcvoort House, but ON arrival was
Informed by Mr.. Halstead that while he did not
doubt his ability to correctly report him, he had
concluded, since he had sent the dispatch, that he
would write a letter TO the editor Whether Mr..

the questions which the reporter might have been
expected to put TO him the reader may infer after
reading the oyasive letter which he had prepared
and then handed to the reporter. The communi-
cation Is as follows:
A HALF-BREED CoSUNDRuM.
"Mr Murat Huisead is in town. Perhaps he will
Condcsccnd TO let us know why he so outrageOusly
scandnli2ed the late and lomened President Gar
