REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Oct. 2O.-The following Is said
to be President Roesevelt's explanation OF
his invitation to Booker Washington to dine
at the White Heusei To one of his callers
a friend who did net introduce the subject.
the President II reported to have said. in
referring to the dinner incident: II do not
need to give you an explanation Of the
Booker Washington affair, do IT"
The visitor made reply Of inquiry. Then
the President went on to say that he was
amazed that he could be SO misunderstood
by those who had criticised him.
When he had declared that he did not In
tend to have anything to do with the white
or black ''scalawags'' in the South, and
followed that declaration by avoiding some
appointments that he believed should not
be made and appointed some Democrats be-
cause he believed It to be for the best In
terests OF the public service, he was ap-
plaudeSl. But he considered that he had a
perfect right, and that It was his duty, In
order to accomplish what he desired to do,
to consult with white and black men who
are not ''scalawags."
No one, he maintained, would venture to
question Booker Wsshington's ability to
give Information and advice Of interest and
Importance to the President. No one had
ventured to say that he would not behave
himself Ike Q gentleman wherever he
might be-. In asking him to his dinner table
the President has simply taken advantage
Of tho opportunity that such meeting
would give him Of beneflting from Mr..
washington's study and experience among
the blacks Of the South and OF the country,
He admired him for his character. his de-
votion to a cause and for what he has ac-
complished.
Tho President Goes not pretend to de-
fend himself from his critics by entering
upon discussion of the color question.
That seems to have had no weight With him
in considering whether he should or should
not invite Professor Washington.
BISHOP POTTER APPROVES.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Chicago, Oct. 20.-"He is At to sit ut any

Potter Of New York this afternoon, re-
ferring to Booker T. Washington dining
with the President and the uproar this has
caused in the South.
Yes, I see the Bourbons are at 1t again."
continued the Bishop. 'Tnasmuch as l en-
tertained Mr.. Washington at my table last
winter and know that no more courteous or
exact man exists. naturally feel that there

 to serve as members of court re- ceive no extra compensation. Retired officers ordered to duty on court of inquiry will receive full active pay for the time employed. All officers whose presence will be required in Washington, except those on duty there, will receive communication of quarters while there at the rate of SIP a room per month, and are al- lowed a number of rooms according to rank.
 The principal witnesses to be called before the Schley court of inquiry and their present stations are as fol- lows:
 Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, at An napolis; Capt. Clark, of the Oregon, League Island; Capt. Chadwick, of Admiral Simpsons flagship, the New York, Newport; Rear Admiral Evans, of the Iowa, Washington, at present on yachting trip; Rear Admiral Hig- ginson, of the Massachusetts, now in command of the North Atlantic station; Lieut.. Commander Vain
 
 ter, now superintendent of the naval academy at Annapolis; Lieut.. Sharp, of the Vixen, on duty on the training ship Hartford, somewhere off the coast of Sweden; Admiral Sampson, Boston; Lieut.. Staunton, Sampson's flag lieutenant, now in command of Yankton in Porto Rican waters; Lieut.. Commander Sears, Schley's flag lieutenant, hydro graphic office, New York; Lieut.. Wells, Schley's secretary, on the Kearsarge; Lieut.. Marsh, Sampson $ secretary, on the Mayfiowcr; Lieut.. Hodgson, navigator of the Brooklyn, Newport; Lieutenant Commander Sea- ton Schroeder, executive officer of the Massachusetts, naval governor of Guam; Executor Officer Harbor, of the Texas, naval attache at Paris oI St. Petersburg.
 How many of the subordinate off, cers will be summoned is yet to be determined. It is probable that when the list of witnesses is completed as many as ten will be called from the Asiatic station, and if no warship or government transport is available in time they will be directed to come on merchant vessels from Hong-Kong Should ten officers come on merchant vessels from the far east that alone would entail an item of S5,000.
 In addition to the expense of bring ing witnesses there are the running expenses of the court. Stenographers and clerical force are required while the item of stationery will not be inconsiderable.
 The inquiry will doubtless last g month, if not two months.

DEAD ON THIRD RAIL.

New Britain, Aug. 19 Augustus s. Boyce, q we'll known resident of this city, met horrible death early yes terday on the third-rail tracks between Berlin and this city. His body fright fully burned, was found lying across the tracks at 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning by the crew of the night switcher. Boyce left home after sup per Saturday night and spent most of the evening with his friends about town. It is understood that he left a saloon on Park street little before midnight and took the railroad track as short cut to his home on Lilac street. He had gone that way many time before and custom had made him careless of danger. He made his way safely for 210 feet along the path by the side of the tllild-rail tracks ana at that point it is supposed he stun,- bled and fell, his right arm going across the third-rail and his left elbow touching the outer rail, completing the circuit. The electric current shot through his body, probably killing him instantly.
