MR.. n. n. ROGERS REPLY.

New York.-ln reply to President
Roosevelt's message and the re-
port of Commissioner Garfield,
Messrs. II. II. Rogers and John d.
Archibald, of the Standard Oil Co., said
that their examination of the message
and report had necessarily been
hurried enc, and that they should at
later date make a full answer to their
shareholders. They, however, denied
that they had violated the law. The
following being the substance of what
they said:
Regarding the presidents criti-
cisms upon the management of the
railways or his structures upon any
act of the interstate commerce com
mission, we have neither responsible
ity or concern. When, however, he or
Commissioner Garfield attacks the
Standard Oil Co. and uses its methods
of doing business as an object lesson
for the purpose of promoting his views
we protest 1t may be frankly stated
at the outset that the Standard Oil Co.
has at all times, within the limits Of
fairness and with due regard for the
law. sought to secure the most ad-
vantageous freight rates and routes
possible. There will be no denial of
this fact on our part. The question is
whether we have at any point violated
the law or the prCprieties.
THE present inquiry grew out Of
resolution adopted by congress a year
merce and labor to investigate the oil
business as carried on in this country.
We welcomed the investigation. When
Commissioner Garfield in the dis
charge of his duty visited our Office he
and his experts We're given free access
to our books and the fullest oppor-
tunity to ascertain the manner in
which our business was conducted.
Frank disclosures of all of our meth
DDS were made and every criticism Of
fered by him was met with a candid
and painstaling answer.
There have been no secret rates
or unlawful discrimination in the in
terest of the Standard Oil Co.
THE Standard Oil Co. has been in
vestigated over and over again at the
instance of it's rivals and it always
welcomes such Investigations when
conducted in good faith and fairly.
We are engaged in a large and hon
orable business. We are conducting it
honorably and we sincerely believe in
conformity to law
I'VE say fatty that any assertion
that the Standard Oil Co. has been or
is now knowingly engaged in practices
which are unlawful is alike untruthful
and unjust"

OLD JAkEY's SHOT.
Amusing Story Of Gen. Nelson Dur
ing the Siege at Cornith--His
Lucky Shot.

One day during the siege Of Corinth
Gen. Nelson came to the front to look
after things and especially to see
how a favorite battery Of artillery
was getting along. A party Of confed-
crate sharpshooters had taken refuge
in one old house about half mile to
the front Of our force, and the artil-
Ierymen were directing their guns
upon 1t. He grew very impatient be-
cause the house had not yet been
struck and rode hastily up to the
guns.
"They will pick you of there. gen
eral," said our sergeant in a warning
voice.
The general snapped out: go to
the devil, sir; no, darn 1t, l mean to
thank you, SIR"
Just then came a long tom with
Tip" The general, hearing the well
known sound, jumped off his horse in
rage, caught one Of the guns, ran 1t
forward by main strength and aimed
It himself, remarking that he would
show them how to shoot at him.
AS he was aiming our captain said:
"A little too high, general" but was
met with the ever ready reply: go
to the DEVIL" and ordered to pull the
string.
The ball went crashing through the
tree tops not a hundred yards ahead
Of us, more in the direction Of the
sky than the house, says the American
Tribune; but It happened that at the
same instant one Of our other guns
was fred, and the ball struck the
chimney Of the house.
The general, seeing the chimney
fall, shouted: by God, sir, / knew it;
1t takes me to knock things about
Them" and rode away, calling back:
Captain, will call around in the
morning and give you practice; l can
hit 'em every time"
He did not hear the laugh that fol-
lowed, but old Jakey's shot was never
forgotten.
