Answer to House Prepared by Day and Night Work to Get It Finished by

REFERS TO OWN RECORDS
Points 10 Congressional Record for Evidence 10 Support Innucndoes of Message on Civil
 Service.

Washington, Dee 29.-Prcsidcnt | Roosevelt has completed the draft of his message in reply to the request of the house of representatives for the information upon which he based the assertion in his annual message that ! the congressman did not themselves wish to be investigated by Secret Ser vice men" Mir. Roosevelt has worked /, day and night to get the job off his 1 hands before Christmas Day He 1 wants clean desk on the holiday.
 Mir, Roosevelt submitted the pre- pared draft of the answer to the cab inct at its meeting to-day for sug Gcstions and discussion, The whole document was carefully gone over, by every one present and its tone as well as it's substance scrutinlzed and re- | viewed
 Members of congress who are look 1 ing for an explosive document will be disappointed. Its tone will be tenn perate, conservative, and even judicial 1t will he sent 10 the Capitol immedi- atcly upon the resembling of con n suited in the preparation of the docu- ment believe that it's nature will con- vince the country and also every member of the congress who is un- ] preiudiced, that Mir. Roosevelt had sufficient basis for the two specific comments to which exception has been taken. Here they are
 "rhe chief argument in favor of the ! (restrictive) provision was that the congressman did not wish themselves to be investigated by secret service men, and,
 ' But if this is not considered desir- able a special exception could be made in the law prohibiting the use of the secret service force in Investigating members of the congress
 The message will show that MT. Roosevelt has carefully read the debate in congress last May preceding the adoption of the amendment which placed a limitation on the scope of the activities of the secret service, In short, Mir 3oosevelts cndeavor will be to convict the members Of congress out of their own mouths of the fear of being investigated by government op- eratives.
 The president will name no names oi present members of congress. He will hold that altogether too broad an ap.

TO RAISE YANKEE WITH AIR.
Engineer Abandons Pontoon system
 for Sewing Cruiser.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 22.-The efforts to float the cruiser Qankee for the second time will be begun within a few days. Instead of the pontoon plan which was at first proposed, Will liam w. Wotherspoon, chief engineer, intends to use again the compressed air method which proved so successful in raising the cruiser from her i'm paled position on Spindle Rock,
 MT. Wotherspoon Is most optimistic of the chances of again floating the Yankee, He says; "As the cruiser is resting now, think we will have no difficulty in raising her, The use of whaleback coal barges as pontoons, by which we expected to effect the second floating of the Yankee, will be unnecessary, as the position of the cruiser, lying on bank of soft mud and sand, Is very favorable for the use of compressed air.

plleation was given to the words In his message and he will conhne himself to supporting the specific comments which have angered congress, and which the members have interpreted as meaning that the president entered charges against the integrity of tho whole body
 The reference to the fear of being in yestigated will be sustained by ex- tracts from the Congressional Record of the proceedings of congress during the early days of last May, The whole tenor of the speeches of the members who were in favor of restricting the work of the officers of the secret ser vice to detecting counterfeiters and to the protection of the person Of the president, 1t will be contended by MT. Roosevelt, was that the government operatives should not be allowed to en- ter any other fields of Investigation
 Questions were asked during the de- bate concerning the proper sphere Of activities of the secret service men and MT. Sherley of Kentucky wanted to know What kind of private conduct by an officer of the government should be Investigated by the secret service. and should it apply to officers of the navy, to the officers of the army, men in the departments, members of con- gress, senators, or what shall be the llne?" Mir Bonnet of New York declin- ed to answer such a blanket ques- tion."
 The charge was made that secret service agent had Hooked into the per- sonal conduct of member of con- gress." This was denied by MT. Ben net, but the statement was reiterated by the member who made it.
 The hearings before the appropriation committee prior to the time that the matter was taken to the floor of con gress have furnished some material for the answer that the President will make, Some of the questions that were asked at that time, 1t will be set forth' can be construed in one way only.
 In addition to his endeavor to prove that the fear of investigation was one of the arguments of representatives
 in congress for the restriction of the work of the secret service agents, the president in his answer will go into the history of the work of the opera tives, will show the convictions that have been secured by them, and the sums that have been saved the go- ernment that without their aid would hae been lost.
 The answer will be largely one of recorded facts; these will be plain ani to the point. The matter of the fear of investigation the president will leave for proof to the utterances Of the representatives, but for the value of the work of Chief Wilkie's men ne will appeal to the history of the cases in which they have been engaged.
