MIR. ROOSEVELT DENIES IT.
He Says ali Alleged Interview Was
Faxed.

The New York correspondent Of The
Times yesterday telegraphed the sub
stance of an interview between Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt and a
New York Journal Washington corre-
spondent
The interview was printed in the Jour
nal under the signature of Mr.. Max F.
Thmsen, of New York, who relieved Mr..
II. j. Browne, the regular Washington
correspondent of the Journal, when the
latter went to Cuba with the senators
and representatives who have been inves-
tigating the condition of the reconcentra-
dos as guests of Mr.. w. r. Hearst.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt de-
MED the interview, and a few moments
later received a letter from Mr.. Ihmsen
saying that as he Qhmsem had all
confidence in the reporter who handed in
the story, he hoped that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not deny it, especially as such a
course would cause the Journal to disbe-
lieve the word Of the Assistant Secretary.
Immediately upon receipt of this letter
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote the following letter
to Mr.. Ihmsen:
March 10. 1898
Mr.. Max F. Ihmsen. the Journal, Fiji
teenth and f Streets. City.
Sir: ! do not contemplate denying the
| story. / have already denied it in the
most uneQuiVOcal terms. The statement
! in today's Journal was an absolute false
hood. / told your reporter, not once. but
again and again that / would not give him
an interview Of any kind.
| His conduct was Infamous and you
! yourselves should have known that no

! (Signed.) THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
| Assistant Secretary -
| In the paragraph in which Mr.. Ro0se-
: welt asserts that he has never given a
I certificate Of character to the Journal, he
refers TO one portion of the interview
which says that he thought that the Jour
nal had been right in every piece Of new:
and every conjecture it had printed since
the Maine disaster.

I printed the interview in good faith for I

After the hardest struggle upon the floor
Of The House that Mr.. Loud Of California
has. ever engaged in, he succeeded yester-
day. by the support Of his party. in pass
ing the post0fsice appropriation bill,
which when introduced, appropriated
s9S. SCI. .3ll75, but which was increased by
amendments about 100000.
As soon as debate on the bill was re-
sumed yesterday Mr.. Castle Of California
called I'D his amendment TO reduce the
appropriation for inland transportation
Of mails from 09l 10 s.. ST. 600. No
one expected this sweeping reduction TO
be made but il was the cause Of an
hours debate. during which Gen. Gros-
venor put himself on record as being still
on very friendly terms with the railroads.
lie defended the bill with almost as much
energy az Mr.. Loud, and attributed all
that is good in the Postoffice Department

Castles amendment was voted down,
without division. Mr.. Bland OF Missouri
presented an amendment reducing the ap-
preparation for inland transportation TO

The item apprgpriating 100000 for rail-
road transportation Of mail by electric

Lewis Of Washington offered an amend
ment providing that the item include We

Mr. Lewis said that he believed there
was something In this bill that was not
developed on the surface. and that the in
tenti0u of the item was TO secure FEEDER
al protection in times Of strikes and la
b0r disputes
He asked Mr.. Loud II such was not the
case, and the gentleman IN some coufu-
sion declared that he did not understand
the tWenty-mile provision.
Does the proposed measure cheaper
the service?" inquired Mr. McMnlin OF
Tennessee.

Loud.

some Interior object IN the measure, '

THE IAIPUTATION UNJUST.
The Charge of Lack of Patriotism
Resented by Brokers.

New York, March 19.-Durng the civil war a
newspaper here was suppressed for three days
for reasonable publication. There is now some
speculation to how far. in the event of war
with Spain. disloyalty would be allowed to run
without check. 1t is the general belief that
there would be no supporters OF Spain, as there
were Northern friends OF the Southern Confed-
cracy, but that the mischief, if any would come
from the pcace-at-any- price crowd.
Wall Street men resent the imputation that
they are unpatriotic. 'Some on us howl" said
a prominent broker, "when values tumble. Just
as farmer does when regiment camps in his
conhcd and burns UP his rail fences As a
matter Of fact, / find about as much war talk
on the floor Of the Stock Exchange as anywhere.
Yesterday sounded dozen members, and every
one Of them thought there would ultimately be
war with Spain.
Expressions of a few men whose interest are
largely foreign and the polite fears of lady
like newspapers who profess to be financial or
gans should not be taken to reflect the sentiment
Of the street"

feated by a vote of 76 to 60. As soon as
the result was announced Mr.. Castle
came to the front with an amendment
providing that the mails be carried in cars
not connected with passenger cars.
Mr. Bromwell OF Ohio opposed this
amendment. and Mr. Loud made a point
Of order against it which was sustained.
The item was finally amended by strik-
ing out mot exceeding twenty miles
Mr.. Bromwel Of Ohio created consider
able CONSERVATION among the Southern
members by offering an amendment pro-
viding for striking out the item appro-
priating SIP %. - for special mail facili-
ities from New York and Washington to
Atlanta and New Orleans. Mr.. BrOm-
well declared that there was no necessity
for granting this subsidy.
Mr.. Skinner POpuIisD, from North Car
olina. objected to the subsidy because, he
said. the Chicago platform had denounced
such legislation. Mr.. COwherd of Missouri
made plea for the fast mail service
from Kansas City TO Newton, for which
an additional subsidy Of s25 900 had been
appropriated.
Mr.. ogden Of Louisiana read a tele-
gram from the Cotton Exchange at New
Orleans urging him not to permit the fast
mail service TO be discontinued between
that city and New York The telegram
stated that New Orleans did 100000 900 Of
! business annually.
Mr.. Shuford PopulistD, from North Car
| olina. declared that the fast mail service
did not save a minutes time for the mails
/ going South. and read statistics TO prove
| his assertions.
Mr.. Swanson Of Virginia made an ur-
/ gent plea that the fast mail service might
! be continued. and read a letter from Sec
| ond Assistant Postmaster General Shall
! Ienberger showing the necessity for it.
Mr.. Fleming Of Georgia opposed the
subsidy and Mr.. Simpson of Kansas
| pleaded for the Kansas City fast mail ser
! vice.
Mr.. Pearson of North Carolina favored
the fast mails and would have said why
had not Mr.. Skinner Of North Carolina in
terrupted him.
Il would like to ask the gentleman a
question: said Mr.. Skinner
Docs the gentleman yield?" inquired
Chairman HUI
Il refuse 20 yield to a man who, two
years ago, was in favor Of this measure
and who now, for some reason, is OPP
posed TO it,"
Mr. Skinner denied the assertion Of Mr..
Pearson, and said he had opposed the sub
sidy when the Atlantic Coast Line had
the service, and that he opposed it still
Mr.. Barlow OF California, in the one
minute allotted him, denounced Jerry
Simpson PopulisD for advocating a rail
road policy, and added that he hoped "thC
appropriation would be stricken out in the
name OF common decency."

The stock market was of very little i'm
portance yesterday as an indication of
the sentiment of the country regarding
the Cuban situation. There was a fair
strength all day. but great dullness that
indicated very clearly that the shrewd op-
orators do not care to take the very great
chances that any deal either way must
involve. In general the sports seemed
most to fear the possibilities of next
week. 1t cannot be questioned that the
indications are such as the Wall Street
people desire as far as they go. The hope
of the Administration is still for peace.
But Congress is taking such a firm stand
that the spectators fear to follow the
Administration wholly.

Henry Clews has this to say of the
money market:
THE home money market is amply pro-
tected against any contingency in connec-
ton with our relations with Spain. The
amount of the current gold imports, re-
ceiVed and to arrive now reaches over
$25, 900 900; and although exchange has ris-
en- to a rate which forbids further i'm
pOrtations at the moment, yet our cred
itor claims upon Europe are such as to
place within our reach further very large
amounts of gold should we need it. The
Iargeness of our exports still continues,
and the moderation of the imports is un-
changed; so that the trade account for
February, including gold and silver,
shows a balance in our favor of S3S 900 900
adding further TO the already extraordi-
nary floating balance in our favor held in
other countries. For the first eight
months of this fiscal year, a balance of
exports and imports. including gold and
silver. shows $40S, 900, 900 to the credit of
the United States Making liberal de-
duction on account of the net debtor
items outside of imports and exports and
assuming that the movement of Securt-
ties has averaged considerably against us,
there must still now remain an unliquid-
ated foreign balance in our favor of very
extraordinary dimensions; much larger, /
apprehend, than is generally supposed, or
than would be credited if fairly esti-
mated"
