WHAT HARTMAN HAD TO
SAY ABOUT HIS LETTER.

New York. April Be. II. Harri-
man late last night gave out the fol-
lowing statement concerning his let
ter published yesterday:
For many years l have maintained
an Intimate confidential corresnond-
ence with my friend Sidney Webster.
What ! wrote him and what he wrote
me was, of course, intended for our
eyes alone. In the course of letter
which he wrote me In December.
1905, he warned ME against being
drawn into politics and questioned
whether | had any political party or
instinct. This drew from me the re-
ply to Mr.. Webster's inquiry. which.
in substantially correct form, has
been stolen and published. This let
ter was written on January 2, 1906.
at time when no one could doubt
the cordiality of my relations with
the president.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March
2S, via New Orleans. April 3.-The
Intentions of the United states in
landing marines on the Honduras
coast, a latitude at present granted
them in protecting foreign life ana
property, is exciting comment here.
1t has been remarked as especially
significant that the American landing
parties, not only here but at Celba
and Trujillo, have in each instance
placed the Hotchkiss gun, which they
took ashore with them, so as 10
sweep seaward approaches. The for
eigners believe that this means the
United States will not permit the
ports to be bombarded, inasmuch as
90 per cent of the houses here and
at Ceiba belong to foreigners. Can
non shot fired into either place would
do most damage to foreign-owned
property.
both Nicaragua and Honduras are
treated impartially in this respect
Although the powers granted Com
mander Fullam, of the American
gunboat Marietta, which landed these
parties, are believed to be sufficiently
broad to prevent naval attack, yet
the foreigners fear that the Ameri-
cans would not interfere to stop land
ing parties from charging local gar
risons and capturing the ports.
Fear, however, that the captures
would involve the horrors of loot has
been dispelled, at least for the coast
towns where the Americans are sta
toned, BY the experience of Trujillo.
There the Nicaraguan captors con-
Quoted themselves in q most eXem-

NO KILLING FROST RE
CORDED IN BALTIMORE

Baltimore, April 3.-The annual
report of the United States weather
bureau gives facts that make a re-
markable showing for the climate of
Baltimore. 1t is rare that big storm
or blizzard hits this city, whether the
disturbance comes from the east or
the west. That the range of tempera-
ture is moderate is also a claim Of
ten made for Baltimore. The record
of the weather bureau show that the
claim is we'll founded. Last year
was remarkable for exceptional
weather The summer was the wet
test on record since 1892, when regu-
lar observations began. The year was
also remarkable for n late frost.
one of the most severe spells of cold
weather ever experienced so late in
the season eliminated on May II,
when killing frost occurred in nu-
merous localities. But in Baltimore
no killing frost was noted after April
,, and the frost in autumn did not
occur until November 9, while the
eastern shore killing frost came as
early as October 18th. The Balti-
more climate is all right; neither too
hot nor too cold.

NEW YORK GIVES

GREETING
Foreigners No Longer Sought
in Clubs of the Four
Hundred.

New York, April -Englishmen
Of high social standing belonging to
London clubs. who were once well
coined to exclusive clubs in this city,
are now virtually under the ban.
Their friends hesitate to propose
them either as visitors or as mem
bers, as they are as likely as not to
receive a courteous intimation that
they would better withdraw the
names Of their candidates. Several
incidents which were perilously near
10 the old-fashioned "black-balling"
have recently occurred and the COM
ity between the social organizations
OF New York and London has in con-
sequence been seriously disturbed.
This situation has arisen from no
anupathy toward individuals, but
from the displeasure of Americans at
the manner in which they have been
entertained at the clubs of the Brit
ish metropolis, although ostensibly
admitted to all the privileges.
They say that they get into only
small portion OF a London club house
and some of them do not even pro-
gress TO the strangers room They
may be escorted to some small apart
ment set apart for foreigners at the
TOP OF the building, or they may be
permitted to linger for a while in
corridor When the Englishman en-
iertains the American. il is maintain
ed that he is as likely as not to take
him to some semi-prOprietary club.
Americans have noticed that de-
spite the dinners of the Pilgrims and
the talk Of hands across the sea" in
the English clubs, the courtesies
which are extended are becoming
more and more perfunctory.
These are the conditions as they
are viewed by members of some OF
,he prominent clubs of New York
There has been a growing disposition.

Mrs. Russell Sage Gives Ari
zOnd Convict Engineering
Instruments.

Douglas, Ari., April 3.-Lee Miller,
the convict at Yuma, to whom Mrs.
Russell Sage lately sent an outfit of
civil engineering instruments, is in
the penitentiary under most peculiar
circumstances.
He has been in the penitentiary for
ten years and will serve two years
more before his sentenc is finished
His original sentence was for life,
but several years ago, Oakes Murphy.
then governor, commuted the SEN
tence to twenty years.
In 1879 he was incarcerated in the
Bisbee jail for a forgery charge, but
owing to the following circumstances
he was never tried on the original
charge,
At the time he was placed In the
Bisbee Jail, a train robber by the
name of Parker, who, with his COM
panions, had held up a Santa Fe train,
was also in the jail. One night all of
the prisoners, with Parker as leader,
made good their escape, and armed
themselves with firearms found in the
sheriff's office. Lee Norris, a clerk In
the courthouse, hearing the tumult
downstairs. rushed to the door and
started toward the Jail breakers.
Parker however, shot and killed him
escape. Parker, who gave the officers
a long and hasardous chase was final
ly apprehended, tried, convicted OF
murder in the first degree and hang
ed. His accomplices In the Jail break
ing were each tried and Miller was
sentenced to life imprisonment. Dur
ing the years he has served he has
given his time to a thorough study OF
civil engineering, having taken
GtnnN "a
school and otherwise prepared him
self in reading. As soon as his term
expires he will be prepared to take an
honorable position among other engi-
neers, and certainly deserves every
encouragement for his unfalterlng
to equip himself for a
career.
