wv WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Presi-
va dent Roosevelt and his cabi
net and all his associates in
running the government without the
approval of the senate received marked
attention at the mid-winter dinner
of the Gridiron club, which took
place tonight at the New Willard hotel.
The president was there himself and
witnessed the SGridiron club dig the
Panama canal; saw Morales over
thrown and the affairs of the island
of Santo Domingo turned over to two
n-thousand- dollars press agents; heard
topical songs that satirized the White
House and the senate chamber at the
same time; heard the topical songs that
satirized Secretary Taft and each Pan
anna commissioner; saw strong men
weep for the future Of the treasury of
the United States, and received free
pass over the railroads Of the country
which he found lying on his plate.
He also returned every Gridiron com
pliment in speech more than usually
happy, in which he showed that he still
retained his ability to defend himself
whether it was in actual fighting or il
a battle of wits. -

BOSTON. March THE wreck of
the four masted schooner Mary Man
ming in mid-Atlantic was learned when
her crew arrived here on the British
steamer Casilda. They are exceeded
in horror and hardship by no tragedy
of the sea in which Boston had been
concerned for a great many years.
The Manning had been struck by
lightning. had been dismasted. had lost
her boats and had had all her provi
sions ruined excepting a few canned
vegetables. The captain and his nine
men had been waiting for what seemed
certain death for 40 hours when the
Casilda sighted the wreck.
With their vessel stripped of her
masts and sails. her hull filled ana
soaked with water and with the ruined
hulk driven by wind and current. a
mere waterlogged raft and derelict.

eight men We're for four days huddled
upon the after deck house. barely sub

seas which constantly broke over them.
All of the ten individuals were in a
state of collapse from suffering. hun

the Casilda. The rescue was made leo
| miles south by east of the Nantucket
south shoals lightship, and when last
seer the schooner was barely aioat.
She was bound from FernandiBa, Fla,
for New York with a cargo of railroad
ties. She was Il victim of a storm of
unusual severity which developed six
days after she had left the southern
port. She was valued at $4,000.

Man Wanted in Insurance InVes-

Will be Called.

NEW YOhK, March 7.-Unheralded
and unannounced Andrew Hamilton,
the long absent legislative agent of
the New York Life INSURANCE com
pany, slipped into New York on the
steamship Deutschlahd and fastened
away to Albany b3fore the news of
his arrival had got beyond the officers
of the company, WHO alone were in the
secret.
With no concealment save the sign
ing on the ships register as H. A. Mil
ton, which differently punctuated and
capitalized is "Halnilton,' the man
who knows most About the famous
,"yellow dog funds (which have never
been satisfactorily explained and
whose testimony was greatly desired
by the Armstrong investigating com
mittee glided into New York like a
shadow and as quickly passed out
again.
To a friend at the pier the man who
got more than 81, 0,000 from the New
York Life by order of the president
said:
Il am here prepared to meet any
charges that may be made against me.
MY hands are clean, and | have no
fear of the result. If anybody sees fit
to get after me with a gun he will find
out that | am armed with a cannon"
Asked for a statement, the judge
finally exclaimed:
IAN right. You shall have it,. I have
something to say, but not much. To
such as it is you are welcome. l know
practically nothing as to the nature Of
the Fowler report. 1t will be time
enough for me to talk about it when I
have become familiar with it.
What / suppose you want to know
is why | have returned. Well. l heard
something about criminal proceedings,
and here | am. That's all. Certainly,
its all | nave to say just now.
"You can interpret what it means,
and so can the public. 1t signifies that
though my health is far from re-estab-
lished | am ready to accept any chal-
lenge implied by such proceedings. AS
to my health, let me add that there is
no necessity for any resort to fiction.
| am fortunate to be alive after all
that has happened, but | am not so for
tunate otherwise"
For instance?' he was asked.
Il an. especially unfortunate in the
death of Mr.. Mccall, and | might say
almost as much concerning the more
recent removal of Lyman Short, chief
counsel of the Mutual, to say nothing
of the incapacitating of Mr.. Alexander.
To some who have gone | could have
looked with no misgivings as to what
they would say OIL do. AS to what
others have said and done during my
absence-and L might allude to those
who live in glass houses-I will say
nothing
go on"
Not Il word
Well, all that you want to say is
that you have come back to face any
music that may be played?'
Yes, discordant or otherwise. You
can begin there and end there"
Judge Hamilton. however, said he
gave vouchers for all expenditures and
that to any and all of these vouchers
Mr.. Mccall would have given Il certiti-
cate of undisputable character. In
other words, death had not only taken
a lifelong friend, but complicated the
case of the survivor.
