President WooIsey's Opinion, Given in
an Interview, Determined the
Line of Action Adopted by
Secretary Fish.

Every American whose memory goes
back to the year 1873 can doubtless
easily recall the intense excitement,
bordering on a bad case of war fever,
that prevailed throughout the country
when it became known that the Amer
lean ship Virginius, while engaged in
filibustering expedition in Cuba, had
been captured by the Spaniards and
the captain and crew were being
held as outlaws for probable eXecu-
ton
At the height of the pressure that
to demand of Spain that she release
vessel and crew, or take the conse-
quences of her refusal to do so, my
newspaper duties took me to the
home of Theodore D. Woolsey, who
was then finishing the last of his %
years as president of Yale. Dignified
and courteous scholar that he was,
interviewed him as he unceremonious-
ly lay on the floor of his library while
engaged in romping with his grand
children.
My mission ended, was preparing
to take my departure-to the evident
delight of the youngsters-when the
thought suddenly occurred to me that
President Woolsey was a worldwide
recognized authority on international
law, and that | had heard he was
often informally consulted by the
state department on matters of inter-
national law, and possibly he could be
induced to say something about the
Virginius affair. Therefore, | asked
him if he would care to tell me his
opinion of the proper position for our
government to take in the interna-
tional crises confronting it.
| can see the old gentleman now,
sitting on the floor, and with his
head resting on an arm which he had
thrown on q chair as he replied:
IF the facts are as have been
stated, then it is inevitable that the
United States cannot demand the re-
lease of the Virginius. 1t might be
asked as favor done by one friend
ly nation to another but it cannot be

Great Temptation That Was Brazen
Iy Placed Before Mayor of New
York by One Who Sought
Franchise

To illustrate concretely the tempa-
tons that are constantly being
thrown in the path of almost every
man who is elected mayor of large
American city, am going to tell of
the great temptation that was brazenly
put before the late William R. Grace,
who was twice mayor of New York
city, to his own and the city's honor
and whose efforts largely allied in the
election of William L. Strong and
Seth Low, New Yofk's two reform
mayors of rather recent years. Mr..
Grace himself told me the story during
one of the morning walks which it
was our custom to take together for
many years.
i thought at the time of my first
candidacy for mayor in 1880 that I'M
derstood men pretty well and, after a
short talk with any one, was fairly
able to estimate his character" Mr..
Grace began. But | found after
had been mayor a few weeks, that
had greatly overestimated my abil-
lty to judge men, and then it was
. that | learned why it was that men
like Samuel J. Tilden, for instance,
placed full faith in only three or fol-
men, and perhaps complete confidence
in only one or two. Mr.. Tilden learned
in his political life that there are
many hidden sides to mems charac-

INTERSTATE ACTS.
TAFT WILL URGE ACTION
1t Will be Ready for Reading in Two
Houses of Congress Jan. 5.-Pend-
ing Supreme Court Decision
Oil Case Won't Alter Plans.

WashingtoH.-Pres Taft has
began the preparation of the first of
his special messages to congress. This
message will deal with the amend
ments which he believes are neces-
sary in the interstate commerce and
Sherman antitrust acts.
Recent reports to the contrary not
withstanding, it is known that that
president will take up the antitrust
act, and deal with it at great length.
He also will bring forward his ideas
as to issuing federal licenses to corpo-
rations. The proposed license will be
voluntary one, to be taken advant-
age Of by such corporations as desire
to place themselves under federal jur-
isdiction or left alone as the directors
of the corporations see fit
1t has been currently reported for
some time that President Taft might
delay his antitrust recommendations
until the supreme court had finally
passed upon the recent Standard Oil
decision.
Those to whom the president has
talked within the last day or two say,
however, he has decided to go forward
with his legislative program regard
less of the pending decision, and hay
ing determined that many charges are
needed in the antitrust law he will
proceed to recommend these changes
without regard to the Standard Oil
case. Some of the leaders of the SEN
ate and house have argued that pend
ing decision in the Standard Oil
case the president in recommending
changes might be put by his political
opponents in the light of granting a
respite or favor to the corporations
especially in regard to federal chart
ers or license.

Famous Historian Declared That He

ed that his roses frequently inspired
Mr. Bancroft in this great work Yet
it was my good fortune to have him
naively make this confession to me
under very interesting circumstances.
One balmy June morning a matter
of business took me to the Washing
ton residence of the venerable man,
then engaged in putting the final
touches on his monumental history Of
the United States With a gracious
and cordial dignity he received me IN
his library, fragrant with the perfume
from a vase full Of roses resting on a
table. Indeed, so beautiful were the
flowers that | could not help remark
ing to Mr.. Bancroft even before the
business in hand was finished. What
exquisite roses. Mr. Bancroft"
He had been all attention before,
but now his eyes shone with the fire
of enthusiasm.

almost childish eagerness

Then come with me-" he said sim

A minute or two later, as we left the
house by the rear door. found myself
standing on the edge of luxuriantly
blooming rose garden, occupying the
whole of the rear yard, about rs feet
in depth and so in width, as remem-
Der it. 1t was plain even to lay eyes
that Mr. Bancroft had made artistic
and economic use of every foot of the
plot at his command
AS we walked along the little wind
ing paths that gave easy access 70
each bush, Mr. Bancroft's hands were
prodigal with caresses for his roses,
and his touch upon them was like that
of fond fathers upon the head of
