Immediately upon the heels of
his interview came a serious affront
to Secretary Long. Acting proba-
bly, upon impulse the President in
structed Secretary of War, Root, to
make public the letter calling upon
historian Maclay for his resignation
and signed by Secretary Long. As
soon as he returned to the War De-
partment Secretary Root gave out
typewriter copies o! the letter TO
the newspapermen who Immediately
took them to the Secretary of the
Navy to ask for an expression Of
opinion from him. He positively
declared that no such letter had
been written and that the copy was
spurious. He imagined that the
newsFapermen were laying a trap
for him. Later he learned that the
President had authorized the publ
cation of the letter and had to ex-
plain that when he denied ITS au-
thenticity he did not know that the
President had decided to send it.
Mr.. Roosevelt also explained that
he had instructed Secretary Root to
make it public and had forgotten to
advise Mr.. long.

Another instance OF the Presi-
dents peculiarities is the case Of
Secretary Gage who has denied his
resignation continuously. The Pres
ident when asked on Monday about
the Secretary's resignation said that
he had never seen it and yeti is
known that Governor Crane was
offered the position by the Presi-
dent, personally, early last Friday.
The President might as we'll have
said that be has offered Mr.. Cages
position to another without asking
for his resignation. What prevents
Gage from seading in his resigna-
ton now-and at toe same time max
ing it public so, in as far as possible,
TO save his dignity, it is difficult TO
understand.

Either just before or Immediately
after Postmaster General Smiths
REIMBURSEMENT of the duties of his
present Office there will be formula
ted violent protest against the efforts
of the Postmaster General and the
third assistant postmaster General
to curtail the second class mail priv
ileges. The President is entirely in
sympathy with General Smith in
this movement and the protest will,
therefore, be made in the form Of
petition to Congress. The Ameri-
can Civil and Religious Liberty AS
ISOLATION is leading the attack.
There seems, however, to be a
strong conviction among the mem
bers of Congress, that second class
mail privileges should be limited to
legitimate newspapers and maya
zines and as the new Postmaster
General favors one cent postage,
which can only be secured by re-
ducing the present second class ex-
penses, it is not likely that the pc
titions will produce much effect.

This belief is carried out by the
scene which occurred in the White
House the day that the reprimand
was made public. General Miles
called at the White House, presum-
ably with view to ward off pub
lie reprlmand, when he was met at
the entrance to the Presidents re-
ception room by the President him
self. Without regard TO the number
of people present, without even
closing the door, the anti-room be-
ing full of newspapermen, the Presi-
dent proceeded to "scold" the Gen
eral Commanding the Army in a
manner that would have been of
questionable dignity had General
Miles been West Point cadet and
evidenced a sad lack of apprecia-
ton of the dignity of his own posi-
ton and the courtesy due to the
Generals rank. A Senator who
was present, and who is warm
friend of the President, said at is
a great pity. The President was
simply mad, and gave way to his
feelings, but it is just like him, as
he used to pc"

price, will change the aspect of the
Nicaraguan canal bills in Congress
and may delay the passage of the
Morgan and Hepburn bills. 1t is,

resulting in the resignation of NJ.

TT
Those members of Congress who
are interested in the movement to
curtail Southern Congressional rep
resentat;on are sadly discouraged.
They had counted on the support of
the President but he has declined to
be party to the affair. He has
not condemned the movement nor
would he, it is believed, refuse to
sign bill carrying the purpose into
effect if he received it from Con
gress but he declines to take any
leadership or to lend his influence
in Congress. There is a great hope
of Mr.. Payne's influence on the
President expressed by the friends
of the measure but Mr.. Roosevelt
is not an easy man to influence and
it is more probable that the pro-
moters of Southern reduction will
lose friend than gain one when
the new Postmaster General enters
the cabinet. A caucus of the Re-
publican leaders will be held as
soon as Congress reassembles at
which it will be determined whether
the movement shall be made a party
measure or not.

Governor Crane declined the

WASHING TONLETTER.
President Roosevelt Still Pursuing
His Rough Rider Tactics.
Cutting Down Southern Representa-
tion Ina Congress Meets a Snag.

From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S, Ioor.-
Affairs at the White House have
taken peculiar turn of late and
some of the idiosyncracies which
were expected of Colonel Thee
dore Roosevelt when he first became
President have appeared. This was
particularly noticeable in his final
disposition of the Schley affair.
His attitude in the matter was au-
tocratic in the extreme. 1t cannot
be denied, of course, that General
Miles had violated technically,
but while he had, perhaps, laid him
self open to mild reproof there was
no ground or precedent for the
drastric reprimand which the Presi-
dent saw fit to administer, ami
many who know Mr.. Roosevelt be d.
lieve that he permitted his annoy
ance over the entire Navy Depart
ment wrangle to lead him beyond
the dictates of his more deliberate
judgment.

DECEASED ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR MEN IN BRUNSWICK;
HONESTY HIS POLICY.

Mr.. Horace B. Randolph, one of the

Brunswick was killed by Brunswick
and Birmingham passenger engine yes
terday morning about 7 80 o'clock.
The accident occurred about hun
dred yards north of where the B. & B.
crosses the old Darien road
The story of the accident as told by
an eye witnessappearing before the
coroners jury, is, indeed a strange one.
1t seem that Mr.. Randolph left
Brunswick to spend the day hunting
he was not seen by Engineer Flint un-
til it was too ate. The unfortunate
man stepped on he track from the left
man stepped on tie track from the elf
side and before the engineer coul~ re
verse the engine Mr.. Randolph was
struck by the cow-catcher and knock
ed several feet from the track.
His body was badly mangled and
death was observation-disclosures. Besides
the engineer and fireman, Messrs. Cab
aniss and w S. Taylor were also on
he engine. Mr.. Taylor testified be-
fore the coroners jurythat he did not
see Mr.. Randolph until after the acci-
dent. Mr. Cabiniss however, said he
he saw him step on the track but he
was only few yards from the engine
and it was impossible to avoid strik-
ing him.
pr. +. Hugh "A Burford testified that Mr.
Randolph was somewhat deaf and fur
ther stat ed that he once advised him
to go to physician in Atlanta for
treatment, which he did.
