|PLATT HEARD FROM.
HOTLY ATTACKS THE SETH
LOW PARTY.
Hurts Denaaee at the Citiseas' Unaen
and Defends the Course OF the Re-
publlcsu Organization In the Late
Cres ter New York Munleipal Election.

New YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Thorn
as ,Platt last night gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is the plain purpose OF those
Republican factionists who, failing In
every effort repeatedly made to con-
troll the Republican organization, pro-
iected Seth Low into the municipal
campaign. thereby dividing the anti
Tammany vote. to force into the pub
lie mind the impression that the
responsibility for this division at
tached not to them but to the Repub-
lican organization. And just as dur
ing the campaign they stopped at no
act of treachery in order to create
dissension, so now they are hesitating
at no falsehood or calumny in order
to promote it and keep it alive.
1.-THE malicious Misrepresentation
of these incurable factionists must not
go unchallenged. No fair-minded Re-
publican who will look back oyer the
events of the last six months can fail
to remember that the attitude of the
Republican organization up to the
very last moment at which the law
permitted a nominating certificate to
be fled was much more than favor
able to q union with the citizens or
ganization.
that when Mr. Quigg assumed the
presidency of the county committee
he made the offer of union confer
ence distinctly and in terms They
will remember that his offer was as
distinctly refused by those to whom it
was addressed. It demanded the un-
conditional surrender of the Repub-
lican party not simply to objection
able candidates, but to impossible
platforms. 1t demanded that the Re-
publican party must say that in munic-
ipal affairs it would not allow itself
to be the Republican party and would
assert no right to make nomin ations
or define policies.
1.-The Republican leaders met an in
solent charge without bitterness and
resentment They found no fault
with the candidate whom the Citizens
Union picked out as the expression of
its purpose and ideas. They do not
deny that they regard HIM as prac-
tically the sort Of man he has turned
out to be-a vainglorious self-seeker.
masquerading as a Republican, but
willing at any time to wreck the Re-
publican ship on a ledge of his own
ambitions
docs not every honest man know
that if the Citizens Union had gone
into the proposed conference united
action would have been inevitable?
Is it not plain enough that the Repub-
licans could not possibly have broken
up, or allowed to be broken up, q con-
ference which they themselves had
originated?
1.-The Republican organization in
the city of New York, no less than in
the country districts, is still powerful,
earnest and devoted In the menace
of near Bryanite campaign factional
will soon be forgotten
and the Republicans will soon be Re-
publicans again.

the NEEDS OF THE NAVY.


Nm RoooOvO1t R0e0t0 Oct the Present
Wesuo4ss Of This Cesaesy.
NEW York, Nov. 16.-At the annual
banquet of the Society Of Naval and
Mechanical Engineers, Mr.. Roosevelt,
assistant secretary of the navy, made
the principal speech In part he said:
ssWe need large increase in the force
both of officers and enlisted men, but
the most crying need of the navy
at the moment is the need of first
class dry docks. Next comes the
need for an ample quantity of smoke
less powder and projectiles We need
a powerful fighting navy-a navy in
Guiding an ample number of torpedo
boats, an ample force of seagoing
battleships, and also armored cruisers
which should both possess endurance
and in addition carry an abundance
of rapid fire guns, our deficiency in
torpedo boats being particularly
marked.
"Unless we are willing to be put in
the contemplate attitude of those
who buster without being able to
back up their words by deeds, we
must prove that our attitude about
the Monroe doctrine is not sham.
To prove this means that we must
have powerful navy. If we annex
Hawaii we shall need an adequate
navy to enforce our position on the
Paci fic If we do not annex Hawaii
we shall need much larger navy, as
Hawaii cannot stand alone, some
other power must necessarily take it.
and that moment menace our whole
Pacific coast"

eral Miles made no reference to posi-
BILE complications with Spain, but said:
Although the general desire of our
people is to maintain a condition of
peace with all nations. and the policy
of the government is one of good will
and peaceful relations with all others,
yet nothing could be more injudicious
than to remain in condition of inse-
curity, peril the lives of millions and
the accumulated wealth of many gem
erations to be destroyed or endangered
by any foreign power with which wa
are liable to come in contact, and the
general plan for defense which has
been adopted by the government
should be steadily pursued until the
nation is in a condition of security and
safety which q due regard for self.
would demand"

MARKABLE SUICIDE
Thought Death Of No More Importance
Than breakfast - Had an Intense
Curiosity to Know the Future Life
Letter to His Friends.

New YORK, Nov. :5.-John c. Bull

and nitric acid were found on a table
near the bed upon which the corpse
lay. A letter found in the apartment
addressed to Joshua F. Bullitt, jr..
Big Stone Gap, Wise county, Va, read
as follows:
Dear Joshua:-I have decided to
end it all You will, l know, be in
terested in knowing how a person
feels who is about to step into the un-
known world. Hence. will tell you
what my feelings are.
II wonder, l doubt, l hope, but
over all the wonder and the doubt and
the hope, a feeling Of intense C, RI
Osity prevails. What is the future? l
believe know, but it is only a belief
am very curious to verify it. The
feeling of fear is absent. l am going
from here to the Eden Musee to play
chess with the automaton. This fact
illustrates my mental condition, per-
haps, more than a volume of my writ
ing would. Death seems to me to be
merely an event of no more import
ance, say, than breakfast l love
life and hate to leave it, but the sum-
mons has been served and I must
answer And now, good-by. We will
meet again. Your brother,
