ESCAPES WATER SP0UTS.
Norwegian Steamship Dodges Ten in
Gulf Stream.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S.-Ten water
spouts encountered in the Gulf Stream inn
peded the progress of the Norwegian
steamship Cecilia. which has arrived here
from Cartagena by way of Turks Island.
The Cecilia was off the Carolinas last Fri
day. when the hurricane. which brought
death and destruction. swept up the coast.
For twelve hours the vessel was buffeted
about, receiving no more damage than the
loss of a few deck movables.
In the wake of the hurricane came the
water spouts. The first was seen on the
starboard. and its large size brought terror
to the crew. The captain evaded the spout
only to find the vessel apparently getting
in the track Of another. From port TO
starboard. over a course extending FIVE
miles, the Cecilia was steered until ten
huge spouts were eluded.

The president. in a manner which

Taft and Foraker, the banquet at

while Senator Dick proposed Fora

Cincinnati where Foraker was to
preside and make a speech. Indeed
what has the president been doing
while all this was going on? Why
did he allow this deal with Foraker
to go through? If Foraker. as an

He is the same Theo lore Roose-
welt who summoned Edward II.
Hartman to the White House short
ly before the 1904 election and en-
couraged Hartman to raise a $780,
900 campaign fund which could be
used only to corrupt voters.
He is the same Theodor Roose-
welt who made George B. Cortelyou
chairman of the Republican nation
al committee in 1904 thus setting
his chief corporation inquisitor to
he task of collecting campaign trib-
ute from the corporations subject
to federal investigation.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt whose 1904 campaign was fl
nanced in part by life-insurance CON
tributions filched from the policy
holders.
He is the same Theodore Roose-
welt who made Elihu Root, Thomas
T.. Ryan's attorney. secretary OF
state in his cabinet.
He IS the sam, Theodore Roose-
welt who made J. Pierpont Morgan's
partner. Robert Bacon. assistant

He is the same Theodore Roose-

steel trust to acquire the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company regardless
OF the sherman law.
He is the same Theodore Roose-

ry corporation platform adopted by
The Chicago convention and gladly
accepted James S. Sherman as the
