.. Senator Foraker, in signed state
ment issued day or so ago, EN-
phatically denies the stories which
have been finding their way into
print, to the effect that after his
retirement from the Senate, March
4 next, he would become the coutlz
sci for the discharged soldiers OF
the 25th Infantry i He and his
friends deny all knowledge. OF any
fund being raised for the purpose
Of employing him to defend the
Brownville soldiers in tho courts or
elsewhere and adds that he could
not accept such employment should,
it be rendered. The Senator may
carry on the fight for the discharged
soldiers, but it is understood that he
will not take up the work with any
expectation Of monetary reward.
The air is reRt. this week with
rumors. If haH of tfaern are true,
the country would be fed to believe
that the heretofore so1Td "BIack

to various eoIored papers through

1t seems that some journalistic

an inference is thrown out that the
