pLArr THOROUGHLY ANeERED.
Calls on Roosevelt to Resent Intimacy
With William Allen White.

WIKI WutldTn AJSn WnlSes
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator T. c..
Plat called at the white house yester-
day and asked President Roosevelt IL he
intended to countenance the visits of a
slanderer. The president resented the
inquiry and the senator left in rGgr.
The war has broken out. All this grew
cut Of a magazine article by Villa m
Allen White, of Kansas City. which. the
senator alleges, seriously reflects on his
political honor.
1t may be said on good authority that
President Roosevelt instantly resented
the inquiry made by Senator Plat and
intimated that he was not responsible
for the acts of everybody numbered
among his casual acquaintance. He
admitted that Mr. White had been
brought to him by ex-Comptroller
dawes; that he had visited the white
house twice, but that no intimation was
given to him on any occasion that any
article about Senator Plat or any other
senator was in contemplation. The
president would not argue the matter,
but changed the subject abruptly. This
is far more than mere rumor, tho Sena-
tor Plat refuses to discuss the inter
view. That he is much hurt does not
admit OF doubt.
The incident Is of supreme Importance
at this time because several prominent
republican senators are rapidly drifting
away from the president and no longer
hesitate to express unfavorable opin-
ions. The activity and energy of the
president, so popular thruout the coun-
try, is not appreciated by the statesmen
who believe in old-fashioned methods OF
selecting appointees for public office.
The significance of Senator Platt's visit
to the president lies in the fact that he
took SO prominent part IN his nomi-
nation for the vice presidency thathe no
doubt believed their interests mutual in
many respects. Before he called upon
the president he probably felt that the
safe guarding Of his good name would
be as much desired by the chief execu-
tive as by himself. In this respect the
senator is reported to have been com
pletely disillusioned. Senator Plat is in
the mood to prepare an essay on the
frailty OF political friendships.
Senator Plat has announced that he
will sue William Allen White for libel
and also McClure's Magazine, in which
the character study" appeared.

SUGAR DUTY REDUCED.
Imports From the Netherlands to Pay
Less Rate for Entry.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The secretary
of the treasury has issued a circular
letter of instructions to collectors of
customs regarding countervailinE duty
to be charged on sugar imported into
the United States from the Netherlands
during the year beginning January l.,
1902. The government of the Neither
lands reduces it's bounty on sugar by
about 100000 forins annually, and the
remainder of the bounty having to be
distributed over an increased produc-
ton reduces the amount Of the bounty
paid per pound during the year by
nearly 10 per cent.
In view of this fact the duty to be
collected by our customs officers will
be nearly 10 per cent less than last

A squirrers Bold Strategy.


There is in the rear of al estate In Bos.
ton few trees where eight beautiful gray
squirrels abide Our informant does not
dare to give the number and street. lest
some big boys should be tempted TO stone
or shoot the dear creatures, who now af-
ford great amusement for quite number
of persons on and adjoining the estate.
At certain times In the day, when the
weather is pleasant, the squirrels are out
in full force and indulge in all manner Of
sports, all by themselves. The little crea-
lures are AFRAID Of the boys and seem to
know when school is out. Sometimes they
form procession and follow their leader
all around and over the trees, at times
venturing out to tho very end Of tho small
branches and then jumping to another
tree. A few days ago, while they wore or
a grand frolic, one of tho eight was run
ming along the fence when large cat,
not far away, cautiously approached him
In true cat fashion and evidently intend
ed to make meal of the little fellow.
The squirrel faced the cat, and when she
had almost reached him he gave a sudden
spring and jumped clear over the cats
head and back and found safe retreat.
The establishment of the cat as she looked
around for her intended victim was ex-
tremely amusing. With sad and deject-
ed look, and with dropping tail, she
slowly walked away, while the little
squirrel, at a safe distance, looked on and
seemed to say, Try 1T again. Boston
