NOTHING IN THE STORY.
Empathatic Denial That President
Was Assaulted on Streets of
Washington.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Both at the
white house and It the British embas-
sy an emphatic denial is made OF the
published story of an assault alleged to
have been made upon the president
Thursday afternoon. The president
himself declares the story is not true
and authorizes the denial of it. Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
who is said to have been witness OF
the assault, emphatically denies the
statement.
The story of the assault grew out OF
the fact that an intoxicated man was
lurching along Massachusetts avenue
Thursday afternoon as the president
was taking his daily walk and that the
man brushed against the president. A
secret service officer arrested the man,
but it is understood he was soon aft
erward released.
