ROOSEVELT AND THE sToRERs.

The Springfield. Mass, Republican
prints letter today from Mrs. Bellamy
Storer, written in France September 6,
reviewing the controversy between the
Storers and Mr.. Roosevelt concerning
the former presidents alleged authori-
zation of the former ambassador to
Austria Hungary to visit Pope Plus \
and ask him as 4 personal favor to
president of the United States TO make
Archbishop ireland, Of St. Paul, a
cardinal.
Letters written by the archbishop
in 1908 and 1904, hitherto unpublished,
are quoted by Mrs. Storer to show that
at repeated interviews i'll the White
House between the archbishop and
the president, Mr.. Roosevelt acknowl-
edged that he had commissioned Mr..
Storer to act as his personal envoy at
the Vatican in behalf of the archbishop.
Mr.. Roosevelt has hitherto publicly
denied that Mr.. Stoler was ever author
lied to represent him in this manner,
and the Ireland letters now published
by Mrs. Storcr have the effect OF
making much sharper the issue OF
veracty between the Storers and the
former president.
Mrs. Storer's letter to the Republican
also seeks to prove, on the testimony
of Archbishop Ireland, that President
Roosevelt promised to make Mr.. Storer
United States ambassador either at
Paris or London, and there is included
still another letter, alleged to have
been written by Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr..
Storer just after the presidential
election in 1896, in which Mr.. Roose-
velt asked Mr.. Storer to see President
elect Mckinley and urge him TO ap-
point Mr.. Roosevelt assistant secretary
OF the navy.
This last letter seems to confute
recent assertion that Mr.. Roosevelt
never sought public Office, except
when he sought presidential NOM
ination in 1904.

EIGHT.

''When get footloose from public
office I intend to devote part Of my
time to giving to the American people
sGmr ideas OF the purity Of the lives OF
nv traduccrs, said Secretary of the
Interior Richard A. Ballinger yesterday
afternoon ut banquet given in his
honor by the Denver Chamber of Com
merce and the Real Estate Exchange.
THE public is entitled TO know the
hidden springs Of inspiration which
gushes in torrents OF 'uplift' patriotism
from these sclf-appointed moralists,
and / shall heartily enjoy using the
searchlight' when the proper season
comes"
The secretary asserted the efficiency
OF the Interior Department was never
greater than today, and continued:
Il have no apologies to make to the
American people for any act during my
public career or in any private capacity.
Standing securely upon my conscious
rectitudc, l defy all my critics and all
my enemies, and with the deliberate
purpose Of fighting out the battle to the
end, l propose to administer the In
terror Department within the constitu-
tion and the law as l conceive it to be

DUEL TO THE DEATH.

Stopping their buggies when they
met each other in the phblic road near
Pelham, Ga, yesterday, Charles Tate
and John Marchant, both prominent
men, fought out family feud with re-
volvers, both dropping to the ground
dead after half dozen shots had been
fred. The wives of the men sat in the
buggies while the fight was in progress
and saw their husbands kill each other.
Tate was bridegroom OF two months,
and his bride was the widow OF Frank
Marchant, brother OF the mad whom
he killed and who killed him yester-
day. The fight grew out OF an old
grudge, which at first was between
Mrs. Tate's first husband, and her sec
ond husband later, it is said, being in
tensifed between Tate and John Mar
chant, who opposed his sister-in-law's
marriage with Tate, and took up the
old quarrel.
The wives,of the two men quarrelcd
bitterly Monday. and it was predicted
then that the husbands would fight to
the death. The meeting came yester-
day as Marchant and wife and Tate
and wife were out driving. As soon rs
the buggies met the wives began TO
quarrel, each husband siding with his
wife. Marchant then leaped from the
buggy and dared Tate to follow. The
dare was taken, and the men faced
each other in the road, rcvolvers in
hand. Firing began at once and con-
tinued until pistols were empticd, VIII zen
both were on the ground dying. Every
bullet had found its mark
When neishbors, attracted by firing,
arrived, both were dead and their wives
were weeping over the corpses.

ERIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Twenty-nine persons were killed
and 90 or more fatally injured when
southbound limited and north
bound local car on the Wabash Val
ley line collided near Kingsland, just
north OF Fort Wayne, Ind, yesterday.
The accident occurred on short
curve, and many OF the bodies were
so mangled that Identification is Diff
fcult, if not in some cases impossible,
Hardly any Of the passengers in
the two cars escaped injury, but the
less seriously hurt gave what assistance
they could, and in a few minutes 26
bodies, badly mutilated, were carried
to the roadside and placed along the
track. Three others were SO pinioned
in the debris that they could not bo
reached till wrecking crews arrived up
on the scene.
The northbound car was loaded with
people coming to a fair at Fort Wayne
and among them were many women
and children.
What caused the accident is not
known. but it is supposed that there
was misunderstanding OF orders.
The cur carrying the people to the fair
was an extra. 1t is believed its sched-
ule was not definitely known, and the
limited, running on its own time, was
not apprised Of its approach. The
curve where the wreck occurred is one
Of the shortest on the Wabash Valley
line and there was hardly moment
after the local car was sighted before
the crash came. Even the motormen
on the two cars had no time to Jump
so close were they together when
sighted.
The secencs following the wreck were
peculiarly pathetic, rs mothers and
fathers saw the mangled forms OF their
children taken from the wreck, and q
husband saw a wife or a wife saw hus-
band taken out so mangled that identi-
fication ceuld be made ouly from the
clothing.
That the cars were running at very
fast rate is demonstrated by view OF
the wrecked cars after they had run in
to each other. The iron and wood OF
one could not be distinguished from the
other, so tangled was the mass, and lin
this was a struggling, shrieking mass OF
humanity, praying, calling for help
and pleading for some relief from their
misery. There were four men in charge
of the two cars-two conductors and
two motormen-and of these three
are dead and the fourth badly in
jured.
The passengers on the excursion car
were engaged in singing songs and
cracking jokes at each others expense
when the crash came. There were a
number of young people in the other
car, and they had been on hilarious
mood from the time the car left
Bluffton.
When relief car arrived at Kings
land the physicians found more work
for the coroner and undertakers than
for themselves, The dead and dying
were lying in the fields and woods near
by and little could be done for most o!
the injured, as they seemed to be be-
yond medical aid. The wood and iron
work of the cars were in n tangled mass
and the bodies OF some Of the victims
we're twisted and mangled out of recog-
milton in the debris.

U. S. ZOUAVE CADETS.
Eight GrizzIed Warriors Have Banquet
in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Eight grizzled
warriors who survive the once famous
United States Zouave cadets, of which
Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth. the first
officer killed in the Civil war, was the
original commander, sat down to a
banquet last night at the Wellington
hotel. 1t was the last reunion. The
roll was called for the last time, and
never again will the famous Chicago
Zouaves meet under the old flag to re-
count Sthe tales of war and battles.
Very few are left in the ranks. Once
they were 100 strong. They challenged
the world. There was not a better
drilled corps in the nation. They
claimed the championship and the
claim was not disputed. They travelled
all through the east AND south in 1860
to find competitors who would march
beside them. They went to West
Point and the greatest masters of mill
tary technique passed them for all
that they claimed and added praises
that were not expected.
