Declares He Investigated the Premises Thoroughly and Knew What He Was Doing when
 He Acted.

Washington. Nov 21.-The War De- pertinent issued the following state- ment today, concerning the negro troops ordered dismissed at Fort Reno:
 Tn the matter of the order discharg- ing the enlisted men of three compa- nies of the 25th Infantry issued by 1the President, application was presented to persons of standing asking for a re- hearing by the President of the ground on which the action was taken. The Secretary telegraphed the President Of the application and delayed the pros ceedings of the discharge until the President could indicate his wishes.
 The Secretary was meantime called out of town. No answer was received from the President. The Secretary on his return did not feel justified in f44r- the: delaying the execution of the or der of discharge, especially in view of the fact that the Secretary then learn ed that the President had fully and exhaustively considered the argument against the order of the personB who now applied for q rehearing.
 Accordingly the Secretary directed yesterday (Tuesday) that the proceed~ ings for discharge be continued with- out delay"
 Later in the day Secretary Taft re- ceived a dispatch from President Roosevelt and issued the following ad- ditional statement:
 "A telegram was received from the President at Ii o'clock today, after the previous statement was given out af the War Department. in which he de. clined to suspend the discharge unless. there are new facts of such 3mport- ance as to warrant cabling hin. He states that the action was taken after due deliberation, and that the only mat ter to which he can pay heed is. the pra- sentation of facts showing the official reports to be In whole or in part mn true, or clearly exeulpating lsome lndi- .vlduai.
 If anN such facts later appear he can act as he deems advisabIe. but thus far nothing has been introduced to warrant the suspension of the or.4es. and he directs that 1t be Executed
 Secretary Taft says that Immediate steps will be taken to, recruit coloiea soldiers to replace the men discharged The members of three companies who were on furlough at the time of the Brownsvilie affair and three members who are to be tried by 9court-martlai will not be mustered out.

Southern ChiValry.

Many stories have been told of
Southern chivalry, but the palm ap-
pears to go to a story told by former
governor of Kentucky while visiting
in this city recently.
According to the narrator genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded street car
which was very crowded, and some
how he stepped on the foot of very
pretty woman. OF course the woman
expected the Colonel to apologize, just
as did everybody else who heard her
give a mouselike squeal when the
Colonels foot came down.
And she looked as though she ex-
pected an apology, but the Colonel,
divining her thought, dotted his hat
and said: NO. madam, I'm not going
to apologize When the good Lord
was so gracious as to make women
so beautiful and charming and with
such wonderfully small feet that a
man has to tramp on them to find
them, then 1 don't think that an apol-
ogy-"
The compliment was too graceful
for the woman to resist, and all that
followed was smiling acknowledge
ment of the Colonel's gallant speech.

Answer of Witness That Disconcert-

In the somewhat famous case of
Mrs. Bodgens will, which was tried in
the supreme court some years ago,
Daniel Webster appeared as counsel
Tor for the appellant. Mrs. Greenough,
wife of the Rev. William Greenough
of West Newton, Mass, was a very
self-possessed witness. Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Webster's repeated efforts
to disconcert her, she pursued the
even tenor Of her way, until Webster,
becoming quite fearful of the result,
arose, apparently in great agitation,
and, drawing out his large snuffbox,
thrust his thumb and finger to the
very bottom, and, carrying a deep
pinch to both nostrils drew it up with
gusto, and then extracting from his
pocket a very large handkerchief he
blew his nose with a report that rang
distinct and loud through the crowded
hall
He then asked: Mrs. Greenough,
was Mrs. Bodgen neat woman"

trick" replied the witness.
