adj - ,neir winter Clothes" he
continued, Il do not mean merely the
extra thick suits of fur or feather. but
all kinds of artificial rugs and blan-
kets. which they manufacture them
selves.
Take. first, the water rats, which
are famous blanket makers. They
fill their lairs in autumn with sheets
of the gray vegetable down that grows
on various plants in the marshes and
by the banks OF rivers and brooks.
Their beds are often composed Of the
soft heads OF reeds that have been
dried and ripened by the autumn sun,
with PUSHES and vegetable down for
bedclothes.
Then there are the field mice.
which make their wlntry beds with
layers of dried grass and dead leaves.
They are also fond of a few stray
feathers and moss, but most of all
they prize the white fun of a kind of
grass which makes for them a luxur-
ious mattress. Curiously enough they
do not care for sleeps wool or the
hair Of any animal warm as 1t would
be.
"Weasles, on the other hand, de-
spise feathers, and are partial to hay
and also dried thistles "a prickly sort
Of bed one would suppose.) They hunt
for wool or hair and, when they have
collected sufficient. weave it up with
the hay into a very snug bed"

Marx Twain" at dinner in New

ers and the undue credit they take
for their country's prosperity.
He told of a certain senator, Sena-

that had befallen his state. He point

senator took undue credit, and then.

represented. He did not see then any
Pacific coast man who would do. He
considered Storer's religion a favorable
asset for a cabinet place and would
like to have a Roman Cathode In the
cabinet The point in which the cab
met was weak was in men who were
in close touch with the people. and
carried weight when explaining his pol
icies, purposes and acts.
Then he takes up diplomatic post
tons and says that he knows Of no
holder Of one Of those positions who
intends to resign. He says the ap-
pointment Of Roman Catholic to Ger
many or Italy would be mistake;
but that difficulty did not exist as to
any other diplomatic post Porter was
doing so well in France that it would
be the height Of injustice to turn him
out He closes with the promise that
if the French post should become va
cant he would offer it to Storer at
once, unless he could offer him cab
met position.
IN no place in the letter is there any
reference to any attack by Mrs. Stor-
er on any public official at home or
abroad, and Storers apparent purpose
~ publishing it is to show that the
president was not at ali worried or
bothered by Mrs. Storer's anxiety for
her husbands advancement.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Dec. 11.-Secretary Shaw
action in relieving the stringency in
the money market was the panacea for
all ills. In consequence the market
opened strong and buoyant with prices
ranging from one to three points
higher than last nights final sales.
Canadian Pacific was the strongest
feature on the list, opening five points
scoring a new high record in the
above yesterdays closing price and
history Of the road. The buying in
this stock was again of a high order
and it was supposedly for the account
OF foreign investors who are the larg-
est individual stockholders in this
property. Any time there is a possibN-
ity OF increased dividends or an addi-
tionaI disbursement Of stock, they are
the first TO become cognizant of it.
The action Of the stock during the past
ten days denotes something of this
nature is more than probable.
OF the other high priced railroad
shares. st. Paul was the sensational
feature It had a meteoric rise open
ing at 1874 and selling up to 1S9. Tran
sactlons OF one and two thousand
share lots was OF no uncommon occur
renee. The buying was again of the
aggressive sort which was determined
to run the shorts in at any cost
1t was also rumored that one of the
larger Western operators got caught
short a big line of ST. Paul and COM
PEELED to cover at a tremendous loss.
The same manipulative tactics were
pursued in Reading as heretofore. The
Prick contingent opened this stock
about two points higher, around 152 Il
and proceeded to feed the shorts, all
they would absorb any where above
1872. Their selling brought about a
reaction Of two points from the early
high prices.
Copper also shared in the general
upward movement of prices It opened
around ia and advanced steadily until
it scored an advance Of a point and a
half for the day. The buying was Of
an excellent character Continued
prosperous trade conditions is assigned
as the cause of the strength in this
issue
The market as a whole closed steady
and higher with substantial advances
discernable throughout the list.

ARCHBISHOP Is BROUGHT IN
Storer Says Ireland Can Confirm
What He Has Stated.

SCOFeF Bays ireland can Confirm
What He Has Stated.
Storer then went on: The presi-
dent says-'The assertion that I au-
thorized him to make such a statement
as he says he was authorized to make
such authorization He oInits to note
that he himself told Archbishop Ire
land that he had done so, and the
letter Of the latter to me, which I had
quoted, l have ready to submit
with other letters Of what the presi-
dent told Archbishop Ireland relative
to his message through me to the
pope.
He says and it is supported by Mr..
Loeb that he never received my letter
reporting in detail MY visit to the Vati-
can. That letter was written and
mailed at Meran, within the Austrian
frontier. at my first moment of stop
long enough to write after leaving
Rome. The date is the 4th or 9TH of
December, 1908, and the letter is the
one referred to by ME in my own let
ter to the presidnt Of Jan. TO- 1904,
where / say as l wrote you exactly
what I did and said, you may judge
whether | overstepped.' 1t is a pity
the letter in question cannot be found.
The president charges me with dis
i7genuousness' in the matter Of my res
ignation in January, 1904 - the one
which was refused by him. and says
that my resignation was based on an
other reason entirely than my going to
the Vatican to convey his message, and
HIS treatment of the matter afterward.
He had, in the strongest terms, already
forbidden me to refer to that matter,
and already forbidden me to quote him
again in reference to it. 1t was there
fore quite proper and natural not TO
speak Of it. bur simply to leave il to
him to accept my resignation on any
ground he chose, or on no ground at
all, if he saw fit
The Hurst incident, in which in
principle I was right felt I had
been wrong in detail. and was not
afraid to say so-afforded me perfect
opportunity to tender my resignation
without again troubling the presidents
suscep6bilities regarding his messages
to Rome. If the word Vatican was
not mentioned in my letter Of resigna-
ton the facts were in existence within
the knowledge Of the president all the
same 1t was five months only before
the nominating convention, and ]
was DESTROYS of avoiding any possible
embarrassment to Mr.. Roosevelt in any
way This now becomes particular
peridy' on my part in the view and
language Of the president Of the Unit
ed States. As l have already said my
original letter is really an answer to
everything else that is contained in
the presidents communication to the
press. I ask deliberate Judgment on
it in reply to whatever he has seen 81
to charge upon me and mine"
