a personal encounter OF some kind.
Here are some of the stories:
That Mr.. Fish punched Mr.. Hara-
han in the jaw and then proceeded TO
roll him around the floor until he
gasped for breath.
That Mr.. Fish swung on the point
of Mr.. Harahan's jaw, with his right.
sending him to the floor unconscious.
That Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Harahan en-
gagged in a wrestling match, in which
honors were even.
That Mr. Fish struck President Har-
ahan three stunning blows in the
face, causing the blood to run down
his countenance.
That Mr.. Fish seized Mr.. Harahan
and shook him violently as a terrier
shakes rat, at the same time using
unprintable language
Dubious About MiIder Stories.
Wall street is not inclined to &C.
cept the stories In which Mr.. Hara.
han came out unhurt Mr.. Harahan
is not big man. He is moreover
well along in years and not physically
strong. Mr.. Fish is giant. He
stands several inches over six feet in
his shoes and the scales mark nearly
ESQ pounds when he steps upon them
He is a man who is slow to anger
but quick to act
1t was the regular monthly meet
ing of the directorate of the Illinois
Central that brought together nine
members of the board Those who
attended besides Mr.. Harahan and
Mr.. Fish, were Cornelius Vanderbilt
Robert w. Goelet, Charles A. Pea
body, Alexander S. Hackstaff, Charles
M. Beach, Walter Luttgen and James
De Wolf Cutting.
Says Fish Shook Him.
Mr.. Harahan's own account of what
followed the passing of the lie was
to the effect that Mr.. Fish leaped
across to the head of the board table,
seized him aggressively by the neck
and shoulders and shook him as a ter.
rier shakes rat.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, it was declared,
stood upon a leather-covered couch,
crying: Gentlemen, gentlemen. stop,
stop surely you are forgetting your
selSes!"
Others cried, For shame, for
shame!" and the place was in such a
hubbub momentarily that clerks in
the adjoining executive offices Won
dered whether their duty might not
be to call the police.
After the fight Mr. Fish, when
asked If he did not wish it had been
Hartman, with difficulty suppressed a
smile.

with frequent burgts of applause. His
address in the main was a repetition
of his Columbus speech. He deviated
somewhat to reply to the published
statements of William }. Bryan on
trusts. He said Bryan wanted to ex-
tirpate the trusts.
IF he means by this that he wants
the trusts dissolved into their con-
stituent parts Mr. Taft said, I'VE do
not agree with him, we want the good
ones continued and the bad ones abol-

The secretary said that the differ

was that Roosevelt had faith in the
people, he had faith that good men
could be secured to enforce the laws.
whereas Bryan did not trust the

Chicago, Aug. 30.-President hara-

undoubtedly emanated from the same
source as the reports appearing in to-
days newspapers, and which have
been frequently published, to the ei-
feet that the friendship which exist
ed between Mr.. Fish and myself was
broken just prior to my election as
president of the Illinois Central in
November, 1906. The fact is Mr
Fish's actions had severed that friend
ship several years prior to that time.
Reports have also been published
to the effect that during the long
friendship of Mr.. Fish and myself, fire.
quent promotions were given me
through the influence of Mr.. Fish.

FAMOUS FRENCH PREACHER.
French Law Forces Him to Die Sep
arated From His Community.

The recent death of Pere Monsahre,
The famous French Dominican prea CHI
or. has been almost unnoted i'm the
Catholic and secular press of this
country. Pore EIonsabre died at lie
Havre in his eiehtieth wear. He was
one of the preachers who followed
Lacondaire in the pulpit of Notre
Dame.
When the war OF 1870 broke up the
conferences Of Notre Dame for
time, Monsabre went 10 Metz to com
fort his countrymen and fire them to
heroic deeds by his matchless eIo-
qGcnce His patriotic harangues gave
great offense TO the German govern
ment and after the surrender of
Nctz, Monsabrc had to leave the city.
He took possession of Notre Dame
again in 1872 and held the must Gull
tured audience in the world enrap-
turad by his eloquence and learning for
eighteen years. Later Monsabre was
called to Rome by Leo Mi to preach
the Advent sermons in the Eternal

subjects. he has left behind him forty
five volumes as monument TO his zeal
and learning. \ few years ago he cele-

ONE OF LAST OF THE "PADREs."
Death of Old Spanish Priest Drawn
by Helen Hunt Jackson.

The Los Angeles Tidings announces
the death of Rev. Antonio Ubach, of
san Diego, Cal. who was one of the
rev remaining links to connect the old
Spanish padres with the California
priests of today.
rather Ubach was born in Spain in
1888. He came to America in 1856 and
IN 1860 was ordained by the Archbish-
op San Francisco. In his early DAYS
IN san Diego he had to endure many
OF the hardships of the early Francis
cans. His manner was a happy mix
ture of the courtesy of the Spanish
gentleman and the dignified reserve of
the Roman ecclesiastic. Many of the
priests who now hold important posi-
lions in the Los Angeles diocese passed
thelr early days in the mission under
his spiritual guidance.
In San Diego Father Ubach estab-
ished the first Indian school. and the
Indians trusted him implicitly. Later
ne had charge Of all the missions of
san Diego county. and he was often
calIed INTO Mexico on missions of mercy
and kindness to the Indians
1t was during President Grants in
cumbency that Father Ubach was call
ed upon several times by the Ameri-
can government TO perform delicate
missions with the Mexican govern
ment and he was always successful in
the fulfillment of the trusts imposed.
At the time Of the distressing Ben
nlngton disaster, he passed night and
day trying to alleviate the sufferings
Of the boys who were wounded in the
explosion. He conducted the services
at the burial, when the long line of cof-
inns were laid in one grave
His character inspired the pen of
Helen Hunt Jackson and the venera-
bic old Padre Antonio was the char
acter worked out by the personal ac-
quaintance of Mrs Jackson with the
kind and stately aged priest of San
Diego.
Besides Father Ubach. the other
Spanish priests in the diocese are the
Rev. Valentine Aguilera, of San Luis
Obispo; Rev. Juan Pujol of Oxnard;
Rev Roman Mestres, of Monterey:
Rev. Juan Caballeria, of Los Angeles:
Rev Y. Closa, Of San Juan Bantista;
Rev. A. Gariga, of Ontario, and Rev.
Ramon Ferrer, of Long Beach.
