BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. THE Balti-
more sun correspondent boarded the New
York as she came up from quarantine to-
day, and carried to Mr.. Wilson the first
home news he had received for some time.
His attention was called to the Suns report
of the speeches of Major Mckinley COM
menting on the London speech and the
Chamber of Commerce dinner. He read this
attentively, and, putting down the paper,
remarked that ''The best answer to all
this is the speech 1 delivered, and which
Major Mckinley is critieising. If Major
Mckinley is rightly reported he has simply
garbled my speech by taking the first haAf
OF a sentence to twist it in one way and
omic6ing the last half, which showed it
could not be so used. 1 knew full well that
whatever 1 might say on sucn occasion
would be thus garbled and falsely presented
to the American people by protectonist
speakers and papers, and so 1 did what L
seldom do or have time to dedicated and
gave Reuters Press a full and accurate
copy Of my London speech, and calied fortn
the long editorial in the London Times the
next day, from which Major Mckinley and
his followers may take all the comfort they
can draw. Now that the speech has been
SO garbled, mean to publish it in full and

show my appreciation OF it better than
speaking as an American citizen and exact

not deceived. My speech was received Dy
the whole audience in the spirit in which IL
was made, and while many, perhaps most
Of them, may have disagreed with me,
found that more than one long-headed En-
gl,shman agreed that our reduced taf1H

worlds markets. and eventually regain Tor
us our share of the carrying trade or the
world
In London Mr.. Wilson paid not the slight
est attention to politics and saw few puo-
lie men, except at the Chamber OF Com
merce dinner. The English public men, ne
said, so far seem to know but little OF the
new tariff and he heard not many express
sions of opinion on the subJect- But, as
general rule, the English people always
welcome anything that will promote trade
Congressman Isadore Straus, VINO accom-
panied Mr.. Wilson, here interposed and de-
clared that Mr. Wilson, with characteristic
modesty, had tried hard 10 conceai hiIn'
