San Francisco, Sept. 2s.-There was
all sorts of trouble on the steamship
Mongolia during the trip from Homo

wealthy widow Of New York. touring
the world, and Cong. A. j. Watkins
OF Louisiana, are the central figures.
Mrs. Menage says she had not fully
recovered from the shock of the in
suits which she declares were shower
ed upon her by the visiting congress
man on her trip from Honolulu. She
threatens to report the incident to
President Taft.
Mrs. Menage, though reluctant to
discuss the subject, made the follow
ing statement:
When I boarded the steamer at
Honolulu / was at once confronted
with the party OF congressman and
some of their gossipy wives who had
evidently never travelled before. For
some. unaccountable reason a woman
circulated the report that was a Gus
tom house spy.
Congressman Watkins formed a
guard Of three who called themselves
the trio of southern chivalry,' Or some
SWCA dDSuEu I1tISs WdUKL1S was COur-
teous and pleasant until Col. George
w. Taylor of Alabama, or some other
old gossip, reprimanded him for being
attentive to me, then Congressman
Watkins hung his head when we met
on the deck and / told him that he
ought to look like a man and not hang
his head like a dog.
Congressman watkins wanted to
open a bottle of champagne in my
stateroom, and, to get rid Of him, /
gave him a fictitious number, and. of
course he never found my cabin. He
also came to me just before we landed
and said to me, I understand you are
newspaper writer and know your
class OF people are always short of
money. / would like to make YOU a.
present of $780, He tried to hand me
the money in bills, but waived him
aside.
Il am a widow, travelling for pleas
ure My home is in New York state
hate nouoriety, but just the same /
believe in showing up these congress-
men. There was whole lot happened
on the ship that, disguised everybody
with the congressional party. w. r.
Wheeler, Senator Dillingham; and Ad
miral Holiday and his wife acted like
refined people, hope I will never
travel with that class of people
again

Stock Market.

New York, Sept. 80. - The stock
market was held in check today by the
heavy liquidation on the bulge. A
strong undertone was exhibited in face
OF the selling which had good inf1u-
ence ON sentiment in general The vol
ume Of trade was larger than we have
seen in months and all indications fla
vor a big market for some time to
come. AS prices improve there is more

LOCAL coMITTEEMEN IMPOSE
EXTRA STRAIN ON HIM.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 29.-President
Taft is showing symptoms today of go
ing on a strike. He is chatting under
the additional work given him by the

crowd giving him extra stunts to do

forceful example of presidential action

reached the town he discovered that

smiled grimly but went through with
1t, extras and all. When he got back
to the train at 1880, instead of 9

vigorous than polite and paid his COM

time scheduled for him to start on q

"The presidents good nature is near

president has nearly two months of
awful hard travel ahead OF him and
