Mebster letter respecting the interview.

tervieW with the president covered a wide
range of subjects connected with the New
York state campaign and I did not pre-
tend TO go over the whole matter in the
Webster letter.
The presidents letter of Oct IA and
his comment thereon are interesting. In
that letter he suggested that I might
think there was some danger in my Wis
iting him during the closing weeks of
the campaign, and suggested that If
thought so my visit be postponed until
after the election, when he would ask
me to discuss some governmental mat
tiers connected with the campaign Here
were two distinct invitations to discuSss
two different subjects. I could see no
danger in visiting him to discuss New
York politics before the election ana
therefore l went and discussed the sub
iect alone; and after the election took
up the other subject for consideration with
him
I think il what concerned me as The
object of he visit had been the govern
ments relation to the railroads the in
terview would certainly not have been en-
tirely confined to politics
Il am not responsible for what Mr.
Sherman may have said to the president
with reference to the conversation he
had with me All that / have to say is
that I did not meet his urgent requests
that / contribute TO his campaign fund
and that the statements alleged TO have
been attributed to me by him were false
The president was assured of this fact
by a mutual friend who was present al
the interview"

a funeral in my family prevented
prompt response to the Presidents re-
pedted invitations. but finally about oct
70 l was able to go to Washington and
see him. There is some difference of
recollection as to what transpired at thar
interview.
Fortunately the president himself in
his personal letter of Nov. RI throws
some light upon what did take place He
says:
d" If you remember when Won were
terested in certain of the New York no
htical developments. that I hardly. if al
all, touched on governmental matters
Again in the same letter he SAYS: AS

control over big combinations. and especl-
ally over the big railroads. In a letter Of
his of Aug. 19. 1902. for instance, he ex-
pressed the fear that panic would fol-
low my proposed action.
1T will be seen that the above CORE
spondence Is entirely Incompatible with
what Mr. Hartman now, as you inform
me- alleges as to my having asked him
to secure money or to subscribe money
for the presidential campaign. As for the
Depew matter, he professed throughout
to be acting in the interest Of Governor
Odell and though Governor Odell had
been anxious that Mr. Depew should be
nominated as ambassador to France at
a time when heAwas supporting Governor
Black for senator, he had changed his
mind shortly after the last letter to me,
above quoted, from Mr.. Hartman, and
on Dec 10 ne wrote me the letter l en-
close. which reads in part as folloWs:
q MY Dear Mr. President: A great many
of your friends here in New YORK would
be very much delighted and pleased II
you could find it possible to appoint Mr..
James II. Hyde as minister to France.

to you. you inform me, you who asked
him If he thought it was well to see
Hearstism and the like triumphant over

that he told you that he did not care

crooks and he could buy them; that
whenever Re wanted legislation from a
state legislature he could buy 1t; that he
could buy congress- and that he could
buy the judiciary This was doubtless
said partly in boastful cynicism and part
ly in a mere burst of bad temper of his
objection to the interstate commerce law
and to my actions as president. But il
shows a cynicism and a deep-seated cor
rs1ption which make the man uttering
such sentiments and boasting, at least
as undesirable citizen as Debs, or
Meyer OF Haywood. 1T is because we

HARRIMAN's REJoINDER.
President Placed in an Exceedingly
Bad LIGHT.

New York, April 2-E. II. Hartman late
tonight gave out the following statement
in response to the statement made public
by President Roosevelt at Washington to-
day:
For many years I have maintained an
intimate confidential correspondence with
my friend, Sydney Webster. What 1
wrote him. and what he wrote me was,
of course, intended for our eyes alone In
the course of a letter which he wrote me
in December, 1895, he warned me against
being drawn into politics, and questioned
whether | had any political or party in
stinct This drew from me the reply to
Mr.. Webster'S inquiry, which, in a sub
stantially correct form, had been stolen
and published. This letter was written
on Jan >, 1906, at a time when no one
could doubt the cOrdlality Of my relations
with the president
About ten days ago I was told that a
discharged stenographer was trying to sell
to some newspaper a reproduction from
his notes of one of my private letters. /
could hardly believe that any. matter so
obtained would be accepted or published.
Yet / made every effort TO prevent it.
When ] learned late yesterday afternoon
that a New York paper had a transcript
of these notes ! notified the publisher
at once of the facts and urged upon his
attention the gross outrage that the pub
LEGATION of it under such circumstances
would involve. While deploring, of course,
that the sacredneSS of a pTivatY CORES
pondence should thus be VIOLATED. J can
not withdraw anything in the letter.
Injustice of Roosevelt.
II have read the presidents statement.
/ am most anxious to treat him and his
utterances with the consideration due to
the high office which he holds Neverthe-
less, I feel bound to call attention to Ger
tain things in regard to which he does me
an injustice.
In his letter to Mr.. Sherman he clear
~ seeks to convey the impression that
the personal interview with him in the
fall Of 1904 was Of my seeking and not
his. He says:
." His Hartman -. and my letters
now before me in the fan of 1904 run
as follows: "On his return from spending
the summer in Europe, on Sept 10, he
wrote me stating that if / thought it de-
sirable he would come to see me at any
time, then or later. When he had been

publican convention, having voted for

his letter, saying. At present there s

there were one or two points in my let

have discussed with you before putting

Dear MI President: 1 have had a
telephone talk with Mr. Loeb, and re-
quested him to give you q message from
me- 1 drew his attention to the last par
agraph of your letter TO me of Oct IL
last, and explained that of course I did

apprehension and which might be re-
ferred to In your coming message to con-
merce, and what the attitude of the rail-

conservative men in the west, asking me
to take the matter up, they having in

' Mr.. Loeb stated he believed that that
part of the message could be sent to me.

miles north OF Vancouver. off the har-

and angry complaint from the Tsfmp-
sian Indians. They declared that they

buried since time was q mist Of centur-
les their chiefs and subChiofs They
asked that this cave should be taken
out Of the government reserve and Civ

they wanted immediate action.
