Talk With Lessler.


Washington, Jan. 23.-Lemuel Eli Quigg
MADE the following statement today in

made no other request of DOblin than
that he should let me know when Mr..
LESSER was in town and in his office. IN
order that might see him Subsequently
Doblln called at my office again and told
me that Lessler was in his office. and L
called there accordingly Mr.. LESSER
a his office did not open the CONVERSE
ton by saying that, Of course. there
could be no talk about money. He did
not say this then or any other time dur
ing the conversation. nor was there any
talk about money except in his own
declarations against the methods to
which he said the company was resort
ing. 1t is very true, however. that he did
not mention to me any prior conversation
between him and Doblin.
He received me politely and in a
friendly way, and it was who introduced
the subject of the Holland torpedo boat.
Mr. Lessler promptly announced his OPP
position to the pending appropriation. and
stated with great detail, why in his
opinion the Holland bill should not pass.
/ did not feel myself sufficiently well in
formed about the merits of the case to
discuss them with him. and when he had
done told him that ! guessed he knew
more about the subject than I did: that

make of him.
81 did not mention to Mr. Lessler the
name of the gentleman who requested me
to talk with him, or say more on that
subject except that he was friend whom
I should like to obhge. AS a matter of
fact he was not General Eppa HuntOn
or any Mr. Hunter. or any person of a
similar name. / never said anything of
that sort to Mr.. LeSsler. Subsequent to
this conversation between LessIer and me
Doblin called twice at my office, urging
me to visit LESSER again. but l did not
do So
Mr.. Quigg also specifically denied the
statements made concerning DOblin so
far as they associated him (Quigg) with
offers of money.

Action of Rump Senate.
Radical measures have been adopted
by the Republican senate. which held
an executive session today in the lieu
tenant governors office, to abridge the
authority of the rival body and accom-
plish the removed of its officers. To

Trying to Settle Fight.
Governor Peabody is still exerting
his influence to bring the two senates
together, but appears to have made
TO progress in that direction. After
a conference today with Supreme JUS
tice Campbell and d. B. Farley, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. the governor announced that over
lures are being made to settle, the
senatorial fight in the Republican
ranks, but declared he would take no
hand in ii.
An additional barricade is being
erected for the protection of the Demo-
cratic senate. Carpenters were at
work today putting up heavy doors in
the corridors leading to the cloak rooms
of the senate chamber. Part of the
guard Will be placed at these doors.
Should an attack be made on the
chamber with a view to securing pos

passed before any outside force could
reach the ante rooms.
The Democratic members of the
house met in caucus this afternoon
and signed an agreement that if any
Democratic member wilfully absented
himself from roll call the others would
join with the Republicans in unseating
him.

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly Of mankind is TO passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

Up to this hour no news has been

Of Los Roques, which is mostly Dopu-
lated by charcoal burners, found that
twelve men and FIVE women had died
of hunger and thirst there as a result
of the blockade measures of the allied
