ana sun unite today IN their dispatch

BEVERLY, Mass. Aug. 1S.-Follow
here of the past few days came the
sweeping statement this afternoon

ton of hostilities against him by the
present administration. He figures.
therefore that the responsibility for
the rupture must be located at Bev-
erly rather than at Oyster Bay.
