Sir I have this morning received pamphlet
entitled The Olympic Games by a member OF
the American Olympic committee. description
which think covers the authorship of ]. E. Sui
livan. On the main issue do not wish to enter
into any argument here. but there is one point
on which Mr.. Sullivan appeals to me on which, in
justice TO American athletes, must give an an
swer There is no reason whatever. far as
know, for saying that the Olympic games in Ath-
ems in 1906 not conducted in fair manner
both with respect TO the 40o-metre race. TO which
he especially alludes, and all the other contests
The international! committee, which managed those
games and in whose labors Mr.. Sullivan and my
self had large share, always worked most har~
mcniousy and, trust. will do so future occa-
sions: indeed the recollection OF the amcabe rela-
tions have always had with American athletes on
both sides of the Atlantic has done much add TO
the strong feeling with which I resent the un-
founded accusations made in America against the
British o11cials who conducted the last Olympic
games But let the controversy be confined to the
games of 1so-there is no ground for extending IT
TO the games Of 1906. Yours faithfully,

VETOED BY PRESIDENT.
Act Relating to Rank Of Retired officers
Disapproved

Washington, Jan. 2s-The President to-day vetoed
the act Of Congress providing that officers of the
army, navy, marine corps and revenue cutter ser
vice on the retired list whose rank is advanced
In accordance with law shall receive commissions
in accordance with such advanced rank.
The President based his veto on the objections
made to the act by the Secretary OF the Navy and
Admiral Pirsbury, chief OF the bureau Of naviga-
ton They represented that should the act become
a law and the officers who have been transferred
10 the retired list at advanced rank receive
commissions IN the advanced rank. the effect
would be not only TO make them temporarily senior
10 the officers of the lower grade, who were their
seniors before their retirement, but 1t would also
make them permanently senior TO those officers
who remain on the active list as their commissions
in the advanced rank would be from the date OF
retirement and the officers the active list would
have commissions to that grade from subsequent
dates as vacancies might occur.
