1900:
Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your
letter of the Odd inst, in which you
state that eX-Attorney General Frank
S. Monnett, of Ohio, in DemoIatic
speech at Napoleon ON the 22d inst,
stated that l, in letter to him. and
also in a personal interview with him,
said that the mason why the trusts
have not been prosecuted was that
the president has been inactive and in
different in the enforcement of the
antitrust laws. Unless Mr.. Monnett
has taken leave OF his senses l can
not believe he ever made such a state
ment. So far as l can recall, or the
records OF this department show, l
have never written him a letter upon
any subject.
Direct Issue of VeracIty.
81 am sure that never wrote him n
letter upon the subject Of trusts, nor
in any wise alluded to the action of
this administration with reference
thereto. As to his allegation that l
made such a statement in a personal
interview with him. that is also en-
tirely untrue. l never met Mr.. Mon
nett but once. and that was only for
q few minutes when he called To pay

Sure He Made No Such Statement
'I am sure that l made no such
statement as you say Mr.. Monnett at

London, Nov 9.--The most brilliant
of all public functions in England, the
Lord Mayors banquet, took place this
evening. 1t will be memorable to
Americans because. of the following
remarkable utterance of Lord Sails
bury, who, in the presence of 900
guests, including United States Am
bassador Choate, members of the Brit
ish Cabinet and many leading men of
England, spoke as follows of the Am
erican elections:
1--WE believe that the cause which
won is the cause Of civilization and
commercial honor. We believe those
principles to be at the root of all pros
perity and all progress in the world.
Therefore, we claim we have as much
right to rejoice in what has taken
place as has the distinguished gentle
man (referring to Mr.. Choate) who
sits at my side" Loud and prolonged
cheering followed Lord Salisburys re-
marks. "N

DICK FOR SENATOR.

Friends of Chairman Charles Dicb
have already started his boom for the
United States Senate to succeed Sena-
tor Hanna, though in all probability
with neither his approval nor consent
The election is four years away, and
though Chairman Dick has informally
announced through his close friends
his purpose to make the contest, he
doesn't care to have his candidacy
launched so early. When asked if
he intended to try for seat in the
premier house, he neither denied nor
affirmed his informal announcement,
and sad merely that it was too soon to
talk about a contest so far ahead
His work in the campaign Just
closed, however, is conceded to have
given him the right to the leadership
in Ohio, and he has virtually as
sumed it, and evidently with the ap-
proval of the entire party save perhaps
the Daugherty faction, which just now
is not very formidable.

BUFFALO BATTERED

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 9--Late today an
accident happened to the auxiliary
cruiser Buffalo at the Brooklyn navy
yard, which will necessitate the plac-
ing of the ship on dry dock for re-
pairs. The Buffalo was being towed
by two tugs from the channel and the
order was given to make room for the
passage of the st. Paul to go into the
dock. A strong wind was blowing and
the boats did not make a sufficient de
tour. The Buffalo swayed with great
force against the prov of the battle
ship Massachusetts. A hole was stove
in the Buffalo amidships, below the
water line and her plates were bent. A
diver temporarily repaired the leak

HARBORING A MINOR.-J, H. Slider

OF Eva Baker where the girl was found =,
aud he proceeded to swear out a war
rant against The Baker woman charging
her with harboring q minor. He then
returned to the house and when last
seen was on his way to Washing on
with his daughter. When the case was
called this morning 10 the Police Court
no one was present 10 prosecute the
case. Eva Baker claimed that the girl
was over eighteen years old, and hi d
come to her house voluntarily, where
she lived as fast life as any OF them.
Her testimony was corroborated by in
mates of her house, and the charge OF
1srboring minor for immoral purposes,
which is penitentiary offense, could
not be proven. From the evidence,
however the Mayor fined Eva Baker
$40 for indie cent conduct.
