PREPARING EXHAUSTIVE AM
 SWER TO ARcHRoLD.
LETTER TO COMMITTEE
Colonel Will Embody in It Matters Which He Intended to Give as Tes-
 tmony Before the Senate Committee

Oyster Bay, N. T.. Aug. 25.-Having failed to obtain a hearing before the senate committee Investigating cam pa1gn contributions because of the in- ability gf the committee to get to- gethef tomorrow, Colonel Roosevelt plans tp write the committee a letter, embodying some of the things to which he would have testified. He so de- clared tonight, iu & statement in which he also took the committee to task for permitting John D, Archbeld to sal for Europe without telling more about the $25,000 he contributed to the republican campaign in Pennsylvania in 1904,
 Says He Is Greatly chagrined.
 Colonel Roosevelt had received no direct word frem Senator Clapp when the correspondents visited him at Sag amore Hill tonight. He had heard, he said, indirectly, of the committees in ability to have him appear before 1t tomorrow. He was greatly ehagrined, he said. Also, he added, the senate need not bother about comforting ad- ditional powers on the committee If they wanted to find out about his primary campaign, his relations with George W. Perkins and William Finn, the Pittsburg leader, or any other mat ters connected with his primary cam paign; or, for that matter, anything he had ever done as president.
 To Refute ArohboId's Testimony.
 Details of his primary campaign. however, would have been brought out by questioning him, Mir. Roosevelt feels, and inasmuch as he will not be questioned. he plans at present to con- fine himself chiefly in his letter to refuting the testimony of John D. Archbold, in which MT. Archbold said he was assured that Colonel Roosevelt knew and appreciated a contribution of S100.000 which is alleged to have been made by Archbold in 1904 to the republican campaign.
 Will Be a Long Letter.
 The letter will be long. Colonel Roosevelt expects to spend nearly all day tomorrow working on it, and he is not sure that it will be finished by tomorrow night. It is possible that he will touch lightly upon his primary campaign of 1912. It is reasonably sure that he will devote considerable space to his relations with Senator Penrose while he was president.
 What Corteiyou Says.
 Colonel Roosevelt said that last night he had seen George B. Cortel4 you, who was republican national chairman in 1904.
 'Mr. Curtelyou tells me that he new CT heard Mir. Archbold's name men tionad in connection with any contri- button by MT. Bliss" Colonel Roose- welt said. land that, as regards him self, the whole story Is a fabrication out of the whole cloth as, of course. il is about me"

 His Memory.

London, Aug 25.-Great crowds gath cred outside Congress hall all day. hop ing to view the body of the late Sal- vationist leader, General William Booth. which for the past two days has been lying in state. The body, how ever, had been removed over night to the generals private room, and the hall was used for the regular Salvation Army services.

Of the floral tributes massed on the platform those of Queen Mother Alexandra and Emperor Will liam were the most notable, The Brit 1sh and foreign flags and the dasera~ tions on tl1e walls of the halls had not been removed.
 Commissioners Whitmore. Railton and LaWIey conducted the services, and the famous silver band from the staff college played the hymns. Nearer. My God. to Thee" was given at each ser vice. All the preaching dealt with the life of the late general, and was com posed largely of "reminiscences by the commissioners.
 Tributes were paid to the dead evan gelist in all the nOn-confOrmist pulp1tS and in most of the pulpits of the Els tajblished church today. Eulogies also were read in the Catholic churches. At Nottingham, General Booths birth place, a special service was held in the Wesleyan chapel which the Salvation ist attended in his youth.

 The Suspect Released.

Tactics of Senators La Toilette and Chamberlain Hold
 Congress In Session
MANY MEMBERS LEAVE CAPITAL IN DISGUST
Doubtful if Either House Will Be Able to Muster Quorum Today-La Toilette Wants Record Vote on Penrose Resolution and Chamberlain Demands Payment of S6OOOOO of Old State Clains-A Dubious Outlook.

washington, Aug s5,--A few score weary members of eensress and an im- patient president of the United States today confronted an unprecedented governmental situation, following last nights prolonged and fruitless strug- gle to adjourn the session of congress, The outlook for tomorrpws sessions of house and senate promised an even more chaotic legislative condition than existed in the fight that began Satur- day morning and continued until nearly church time today,
 Neither House May Have Quorum.
 Disgusted with the adjournment fail ure. many members of the senate took early trains today for their hofnes- Senator Penrose predicted that there would be much less than quorum in the senate when 1t meets at noon to- morrow, and house leaders were satis- fled that that body would be nearly forty members short of the number necessary to transact business.
 Flibustsr by La Toilette.
 The double filibuster which compell- cd the abandonment of the plan to end the session of congress is expected to be renewed when the houses reconvene- Senator La Toilette made known to friends today that he would insist upon R record vote on the adoption of the Penrose resolution for an investigation of campaign contributions of the Standard Oil company in 1904, and of the correspondence between John D, Archbold. George W. Perkins and members of congress.
 Chamberlain Also Fiiihusters.
 Senator Chambesrlain, who led the other senate fItbusteT, the object of which was tn force the house to agree to the payment of $500, ,000 of old state claims, will have the support of many senators If he reneWs his insistence to hold congress uhtil these claims are paid The house leaders are detern1in- ed to fight the claims until Decem- Der" if necessary.
 A Rather Dubious Outlook
 Either of the senate fiIibusters holds trouble for any plan of adjournment If Senator La Toilette should insist on a record vote, it would become neces- sary to secure a quorum. In such an event he could hold the senate indef- initely- because it would again be un- able to make an adjournment agree ment with the house.

 The general deficiency bill is agreed to on all points except the $600, 900 of claims demanded by Virginia.
