NO INSULT WAS INTENDED.
Believed President Will Modify Att!-
tude Toward Congress.
OBy the Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Dec. "A. -
With the adjournment of Congress
for the Christmas holidays there has
come a lull in the controversy be-
tween President Roosevelt and Con-
gress.
Meanwhile the President is pre-
caring broauSide TO forward 10
the House the first week in January
in response to the resolution of in
quiry addressed to him respecting
the use OF the secret service. Inc
precise character of this Communi-
cation is not yet known: in fact. the
President himself has not yet shaped
i, into it's final form. but enough h:s
leaked out from the White House
TO indicate that it will be interesting
reading.
In the first place. the President
now takes the position that there
was no insult intended IN his refer
ences in the recent annual message
10 members CT either branch of Con-
gress, it is said After attempting
to make this clear as his position. 1t
is understood that he will reiterate
in more detailed form his views OF
the use of the secret service (and
will not retract his statements res
pecting the reasons for the action
taken last session by Congress in i'm
posing restrictions upon the use OF
the secret service.
Has Material for Lively Message.
1t is understood that the President
will set forth in lively fashion GER
tain material which he has obtained
through secret service sources, but
whether he will enter into personaiI-
ties or confine his reply to An AGA
demic discussion of the subjed Is
not yet known. While the President
may take the view that his words
involve no insult. Congress will be
dificult to persuade to that belief.
The House committee set forth in
its resolution OF INJURY what it re-
garded as the plain meaning OF the
President-that "the majority of tho
congressman were in fear OF being
investigated by secret service men,
and that Congress as a whole was
actuated BY that motive In enactins
the provision OF last year.
The resolution passed by the House
does not ask the President whether
he did or did not intend his language
As an insult His words were ac-
cepted as speaking for themselves,
Congress asks him 10 present his ev'-
dence to sustain the assertions in tn"
objectionable portion OF the message.
The House asks the President to
transmit any evidence UPON which
he based his statements that Con-
gressmen did not want to be inves'i'
aied and any evidence" connecting
any member Of the Sixticth Congress,
in his Official capacity. With any cor,
rupt action.

The Hague July S0-Orders have
been issued that the battleship Jacob
Van Heemskerk be made ready to sail
for the Caribbean sea and ii is eX-
pected that she will start without de-
lay.
1t is explained officially that this bat
tleship is the only reinforcement the
government at present contemplates
sending to the West Indies. There
never had been any question of dis
patching an imposing fleet as has been
reported. 1t is said that the main OBJ
ject of sending the Jacob Van Heems-
kerk to the West Indies is to have a
second ship handy in case, for any
reason, the cruiser Gelderland, which
at present is in Venezuelan waters,
should not be available at the moment
wanted. The Gelderling is at the pres
ent the only Dutch war vessel in the
West Indies.

THE AGE OF FORTY.

Much Suffering Is Caused by Being I'm
prepared to Meet the Extra Strain TO

As a woman approaches the> age of
forty or thereabouts, she should pay par
ticular attention to her health. The
hard work, which she may have been
accustomed 10 do and the worry and
excitement of her daily life should be
lessened or avoided as much as possible.
As her health after she passes this time
will depend in large measure upon it,
every woman owes it TO herself TO build
up her health during these years. IL is
absolutely necessary that the blood be
made pure and rich, thereby enabling all
the organs of the body to perform their

GETTING CLOSE
TO THE TRUTH
Cross Examination of H. A.
Gray in Minnesota
Rate Hearing.

st. Paul, Mimi. July 30.-The cross-ex-
animation of II. A. Gray, comptroller OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, was con-
tinued today at the Minnesota rate hear
ing. Mr.. Gray testified that In the is
sue of new stocks and bonds for the re-
organization of 1896 no actual valuation
of the property or its equipment was
made.
In opening the books OF the company
II was necessary to assume a valuation,
testified Mr. Gray Since the company
had issued to the old bondholders new
bonds of greater face value at a rate
of interest much lower than those which
they surrendered, and also given them
along with these bonds preferred stock,
the total amount of which greatly exceed
ed the amount of old bonds, IL was nee
eSSary that these accounts balance. The
net result was that the valuation taken
by the company was SlO0.0O0.UO greater
than before the reorganization On this
assumption the property of the company.
without equipment, was placed at $685.
100000 and the equipment after deprecia-
tlon SlzCO0,0n, No appraisal examination
was made to arrive at this valuation.
Errors in Accounting.
A statement of the cost of maintaining
the old security up to the date OF their
maturity and the new security until a
corresponding date was taken up was
made In this statement two errors in
accounting were made by the state. which
In the aggregate amounted to $40 O00, 600.
The attorneys for the state allowed for
both errors and the paragraphs We're
stricken from the statement.
The allowances for these two errors has
no bearing on the amount of profit re-
ceived by the syndicate under the terms
of the reorganization. The attorneys for
the company admit that the syndicate re-
ceived the common stock shares of the
company, which the state claims at par
value were worth $l9,S73, $780,.
They maintain, however, that the syndi-
cate paid SIS per share for the stock and
sold at SIC per share after holding it for
some time. making profit of only 81
syndicate also received 10000 shares of
preferred stock which was then worth $50,
making the total profits of the syndicate
about s3500.00
