Ing Mr.. Roosevelt in the most OUT
rageous language. Among others were
Mr.. Tawney, Mr.. Fitzgerald. Demo-
crat, Mr.. John Sharp Williams,
Democrat, and Judge w, /. Smith OF
Iowa, whose motives are strongly
suspected. Republicans and Democrats
Joined together in voicing their eXas-
peration at the way in which Mr..
Roosevelt had made Congress ridicul-
Gus in the eyes of the nation. Very
few defended the President, among
them being Representatives Bennett,
Driscoll, and Townsend. The latter
delivered an eloquent address COM
pletely clearing the President. Fin
ally Congress adopted the report al
most unanimously.
On the next day. Saturday, it still
could think of nothing else. and neg
lected the country's business to pass
a resolution introduced by Mr.. Tawney
of the Appropriations Committee. pro-
viding for the appointment by the
Speaker Of five members to investi-
gate the entire Secret Service, from
top to bottom.
The Senate went through much the
same performance. One of the laugh
able incidents in connection with the
Senate's discussion of this matter was
the proposal that after Mr.. Roosevelt
leaves office he should be called be-
fore the Appropriations Committee
of the Senate to testify all about his
connections with the Secret Service.
The Senate once tried trick like that
when they asked James G. Blaine
to tell them about the "Mulligan let
ter" so famous in the Cleveland-Har-
rison campaign. 1t is said that Mr..
Blaine made them feel very foolish;
and probably Mr.. Roosevelt would
scare the life out of the Senate IL
they tried to haul him over the Goals
before a committee of men whom he
has commanded as President.
PRESIDENT HITS BACK.
The President finally, at the end
of this week, grew tired of the fuss
made by Congress, although he has
at no time lost his temper, as the
legislators have, and so decided 10
show them that he could have shown
good reasons why Congress needs TO
be watched by detectives If he had
wanted to. So he sent a mass of
material to Senator Hale, of the Sen
ale Appropriations Committee, show
ing among other things, that Sen
ator Tillman of South Carolina, had
attempted to obtain government land
in the state of Oregon under false
pretenses. The accusation against
SC influential and popular a member
of Congress as Ben Tillman has set
all Congress aghast. Senator Hale
promptly gave the papers to Senator
Tillman himself to use in making an
answer. Senator Tillman claims that
he could explain the charges, but
says that someone has stolen from
his desk the letters which he needs
as evidence to clear himself, He in
sinuates that President Roosevelt had
something to do with 1t. Thus in
addition to the epithet of "liar" which
has figured so often in the Congress

[Sen. Tillman's reply to the Presi-

he has ever made. He attacked the

Last Thursday evening at the White
House there was given a magnificent
reception to the Washington dlplo-
matte representatives of foreign coun-
tries. 1t is said to have been one of
the finest functions ever held in
Washington. Diplomatic circles are
also agitated by the arrival OF the

scssed little Turk, with a world OF
dignity and suavity. Heretofore the
Turkish representative at Washington
has been a Minister merely, and his
residence a legation instead of an
embassy. The change is a result u
the reform movement in Turkey.
Washington, Jan. IL. 19O9.-The
House Committee on Naval Affairs
has decided today that 1t will approve
the plans for making the new battle
ships the largest In the world, and
will recommend the appropriation Of
sl9,000.O00 for the construction of two
OF them. Pres. Roosevelt asked for
four. but 1t is understood that he
really wanted only two. These two
beats will be the largest ever built,
ana will be nearly three times as
strong as any now afloat or planned.
They will be able to sink a ship
which is still SO far away that its
shells will not reach them.

CUMMINS' FINE PLANS.

The new Senator from Iowa, ex-
Governor Cummins, of new idea"
tariff fame, is cavorting around the
Senatorial enclosure like a new horse
trying to show his PAGES. He has
a proposal that the government shoul
take up railway rates and fix maxi
mum rate for the entire country. He
has another plan to amend the Pos
tai Savings Bank bill so that money
received on deposit should be placed
by the central government in the
banks in the neighborhood where 1t
was obtained The Senate does not
seem to take kindly to his vigor and
his breezy ways. and has failed 10
give him the chairmanship of any
committee. Every other Senator holds
some craftsmanship, so that this is
direct slap at Mr.. Cummins. The
Senate had the same sort Of expert
cree with Mr.. La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin two years ago, and proposes to
head off any such behavior at the
very outset In this instance.

stopped further sport for the day. All
the yachts scudded for Cundys Har-

the afternoon ashore. Tomorrow an
effort will be made to reach Rockland.
The day was a disappointing one to
those who enjoy racing, but to the
cruising portion of the fleet it was on
ly further opportunity to enjoy an
other picturesque harbor on the Maine
coast. Half the fleet sought shelter in
Small Point harbor while the balance
found safe haven in this port.
There was considerable visiting
among yachtsmen and the entire fleet
was thoroughly inspected by numerous
motor boats from all parts of the
eastern shore of Casco bay Tonight
the fog making factory off shore was
grinding out great clouds of feathery
vapor and the low grumble of the fog
whistles on Halfway rock and Seguin
