Won't Withdraw Anything.

New York. april q. E. H Hartman,

statement in response to the statement
made public by President Roosevelt at
Washington yes .erday:
''For many years I have maint ned
an intimate confidential correspondence
with my friend MIR. Sidney Webster.
What | wrote him and what he wrote
me was, of course, intended for our ewes
alone Ia the course Of letter which
he wrote IRE in December, 1905, he
warned me against being drawn into
politics, and questioned whether I hal
any political or party instinct united
to what he was pleased to call my bus
mess instinct. This drew from me the
reply to MIR. Webster's inquiry which.
In substantially correct form has been
stolen and published This letter was
written on January 2, 1906. at time
when no one could doubt a cordiality
OF my relations with the President.
"About ten days ago ! was told that
discharged stenographer was trying
to sell to some newspaper q feproduc-
tion from one Of his notes Of one Of my
private letters, ! conlY hardly believe
that any matter 81 obtained would be
accepted or published, vet made every
effort to prevent It When | learned
late yesterday afternoon that New
York newspaper had transcript of
these notes, Inotifed the publisher at
once Of the facts and urged upon his
attention the gross outrage that the
publication Of Il under such circum-
stances would involve
while deploring Of course, that the
sacredness Of private correspondence
should thus be violated, | cannot with.

"A TRICK" SAYS CHANDLER.
Senator Declares New Trust Is to Avoid
Receivership.

Washington, April 3.--Former United
States Senator William L. Chandler.
counsel for the plaintiffs in the Glover
Eddy suit. late last night issued a state
.ment in which he declared that the
new trust for Mrs. Eddy's property
avoid a possible receIvership, and that
rs trick, contrived by her iailers,s to
the defendants in the suit have fused
her delusions and incompetencv to serve
their own seltshends" Mr. Chambers
statement follows:
"rbe new trust is a trick e0ntrived
by the iailers Of Mrs Eddy to avoid
o receiyership which may be ordered by
the court. In the face Of cure aver
neht that Mrs. Eddy is not fit to do
business, they make her sign Q deed by
which she admits the truth of onr claim
that she Is unfit, and under this deed
they seize all her property. The
validity of this performance four days
after the suit was brought, will be in
quired into when the law suit il tried,
as we'll rs the validity OF the trust deed
covering 100000 or more for the bere-
tit Of Mr.. Glover, made the dav before
the suit was brought. and all other con
yeyances of her property made bv her
when incompetent. The new movement
will not change the regular course Of
the suit The demand that the trustees
as the agents Of the defendants shall
siipersede Mr.. Glover and his daughter
and the other next friends and drive
them out Of court, Is patent absurd
ity. It is a principle Of law that a child
shall not be given nurse that cares
for It.
"When the suit was FIRST brought It
was said that Mrs. Eddy had only $685.
900 worth Of property. But at once IL
appeared that the day before Il was
brought she had offered to settle over
100000 upon Mr.. Glover and his
family. Now II happens that three
trustees are to give bonds for $500 600.
"Proof has been steadily aecumulat.
ing showing the wisdom Of the suit and
truth Of the charges made therein. Mrs.
Eddy has been for many years a do
ltided and incompetent person, and the
defendants in the suit have all known
this and used her delusiohs and incom
potency 10 cover their own selfish ends.
Nov that they are being pressed for
an accounting b. her nearest relatives
and only helts at law, they grasp BY a
method that is almost a contempt Of

right even to control and manage the
law suit which is bringing them to
