Pro TEN. VIII Have to Preside Next
Tuesday-McMilIen VIII Probably BE
the Man.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ia gentleman who
is familiar with the correspondence be-
tween Minister Egan and the State De-
partment says that when IL shall be pub
lished the sentiment of the American
public will undergo a revulsion because of
the very gross Misrepresentation of the
conduct OF Minister Egan. The President
and his Cabinet have never been disposed
to criticise Mr.. Egan as ne has been criti-
cised by those who are ignorant of the
situation, notably by ex-Secretary Bayard,
who has assumed very lofty tone in dis
cussing matters of which he knows moth
ing II is said that Minister Egan, in all
his relations, has not only shown great
tact, but robust Americanism which
will stimulate American patriotic pride
The indignities TO which he has been sub
jected in protecting the interests of the
defenceless people to whom he has given
shelter has been extraordinary.
The latest report is that the govern
ments of Great Britain and Germany will
unite with the government of the United
States in insisting that safe conduct be
given TO the refugees and that they shall
not be murdered If Minister Egan is conf
PEELED 10 leave the country.

Roesch's son heard the shot and rushing
