ROOSEVELT REBUKED
tcontInued from Page one,

immediate investigation of a charge against him endorsed by the President of the United States. Your high po- sition as well as your sense of Justice would prevent your giving sanction and circulation 10 such a charge with out proof and I respectfully request therefore that your furnish any proof which you have in your possession, or if you have no proof I request that you indicate method by which the truth may be ascertained. Withou consulting Mir. Haskell will agree that he will appear for investigation before any tribunal. public or private. which you may indicate and I will further agree that hls connection with the National Committee and with the campaign shall cease in the event that the decision of such a tribunal con- nects Linn in any way with this charge; or in ease you. after an investigation of the facts, say that you believe him guilty of the charges made.
 "As the candidate of the Democratic Party, I shall not permit any respon- sibie member of the Republican or ganization to misrepresent the atti- tude of the Democratic Party in the present campaign. l have assisted you to the extent of my ability in remedi- al measures which I deemed for the public good which you have under taken: I have urged Democrats to support such measures and I have ad. vocated more radical measures against private monopolies than either you ar your party associates have been will ling to under take. The platform of the Democratic Party is clear and spe- cific on this subject, as on other sub jects. while the platform of the Re- publican Party is uncertain and evas- i've.
 As to Contributions.
 ''The Democratic candidate for Vice President, MT. John W. Kern. joins with me in requesting the Democratic National Committee to fix a maximum of ten thousand dollars for individual contributions and to publish before the election all contributions above one hundred dollars and the committee act- ed favorably on this request. The Re- publican candidate and the Republican National Committee proposed not pub lication before the election, but pub lication after the election.
 T submit that our committee has given the better evidence of it's free- dom from connection with or obliga- ton to ths predatory opponents. Our committee has not knowingly receiv- cd dollar from an official of any corporation known as a trust and it will not receive any money from such If any money fs contributed by such persons without the knowledge of the committee, 1t will be returned as soon as the fact is discovered.
 The Democratic Party Is making an honest and an honorable fight in defense of the principles and policies enunciatsd ir its platform and 1t ex- poets and will demand fair and hon orable treatment from those who are in charge of the Republican campaign.
 with great respect, etc.,
 Very truly yours.

SCARCITY OF GRAVE DIGGERs IN
 ST. PETERSBURG.
The Cholera Epidemic Continues To Assume More Appalling Porpor- lions Every Day--Patients
 Refused At Hospitals.

St. Petersburg. Sept 22.-The cholera epidemic which continues to assume more appalling proportions every day. has concentrated the attention of the St. Petersburg authorities on the long neglected task of improving the water supply and swer facilities of the cap ital.
 The sewers now empty into the river Neva or the open canals traversing the city and the water supply is taken from the river. This in spite of the fact that Lake Ladoga, twenty miles away, offers an abundant supply of fresh water. The mayor of St. Peters, burg, at the instigation of Premier Stolypin. has appointed a commission to arrange for immediate action in these directions. The Central govern ment will share part of the expense.
 Up to noon today. the municipal hos pitals reported for the preceding 24 hours PAT cholera casese and ITS deaths. There Is a total of 1,5S7 patients in the various hospitals. The sister legend that the prisoners of St. Petersburg caused the epidemic by poisoning the waters of the Neva as we'll as the fruits sold in the general markets, still persists among the people. although the press Is conducting an educational campaign against this superstition.
 The cholera dead are being inferred at Preobrazhenskoe, which is about an hours distance on the railroad from st. Petersburg. A train of several coaches carrying the mourners and a dozen freight cars with the dead in rude collins. goes daily to this place. The scenes are heart rending in and about the chapel where service Is con ducted uninterrupedly. night and day.
 The collins are of rude workmanship; they are made of spruce and thickly coated with tar. The Identification numbers of the patients are marked with white paint.
 As coffin after coffin is brought to the chapel, the women who have gathered there, singing out the numbers, betray frantic grief. In some cases, mad struggle Is made to wrench off the lids and snatch a last look at the dead.
 The scarcity of grave diggers has caused painfully delay in the past few days, 150 eoffins containing bodies now being stored In the adjoining woodshed. Some of the mourners have been waiting their turn for several days.
 The Reich reports a case in which cabman made the rounds of all the hospitals last night with cholera patient, who was refused admission at all of them.

 Seven other persons who are now isolated at the hospital, will remain under the closest supervision but at present they show no symptoms.
 The authorities are most optimistic and declare that there Is absolutely no ground for fear. Every precaution has been taken to gaurd against an epi- dernic and In suspected cases isolation will continue until the fact is confirm ed that there. is no infection Bacter- ioIogicaI experts who have made the examinations, have up to the present. found nothing to indicate the presence of Asiatic cholera here.

Foraker Not Ready to Reply.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept, 22-No answer to the statement issued by President Roosevelt last night was made today by Senator Foraker. although he may have something to say later in the week.
 The Senator said today that he had read what the President had said, but that it was matter which he did not care to discuss offhand and he pre- ferred to wait till he could look up various letters and other data on the subjects discussed in order that what he might say could be final.
 These records are not in the city and therefore not readily available so that 1t might cause some slight delay before he could make any statement

 Another report says that the village of Mason is burning with the big lum- Der plants of the Edward Hines Lum- bur Company.
 Forest fires which have been raging in various portions of Marquette coun- ty, Michigan, the last few weeks, have broken out with much greater fury and are today reported sweeping over the country at an alarming rate. Scarcely any rain has fallen for three months.
 Reports from Northern Wisconsin and adjorning countries in upper Mich igan say that while forest fires are still burning, light showers and ab- sence of wind have subdued the flames.
 A thousand small fires surrounded Lake Superior, Lake Huron and North ern Lake Michigan. Four miles south- west of Ashland, Wisconsin, every farmer is fighting fire and trying to save his home. Mrs. Evan Hegstrome. one of the1 fire fighters, lost her way and had terrible trip through smoke and fire.

Serious in PennsyIvanIa.

Pfttsburg, Pa, Sept. 22-Conditions due to the prolonged drought in Vest ern and Northwestern Pennsylvania. and in bordering counties of Ohio and West Virginia and forest fires for which the drought is responsible in many sections of this territory, are daily becoming more serious.
 The total damage already amounts into millions of dollars from the actual destruction of lumber, growing timber and farm crepc, while the loss in wages of thousands forced into idleness through lack of water to operate plants, each day amounts to a large sum. Besides the scores of plants also closed and the mines either entirely shut down or running part time, either because there is not sufficient water for the power plants or because the rivers are too low to carry away their products, there are many more plants employing thousands of men that will have to suspend unless there are copi- ous rainfalls within a few days.
