Mr.. Wilson sim Opposes a Privately

According to the Washington des-
patches. President WILSON expects to

session of the S%ixty-fourth Congress.
In order to accomplish this the bill is

Until the new proposals incorporated

will be no better than its predecessor.
1t records the purpose of the Admin
istratiOn 10 refuse any amendment Ia
the La Toilette seamen's act, which
has already driven our flag from the
Pacific and Threatens still further IA

From this it is apparent that Pres
ident WILSON intends that no relief
shall he given to the base commercial
ists who would build and operate
American ships for the Sordid pr
pose Of earning profits II the Govern.
ment would permit it. The alterna-
tive to he offered to the public is Gov

the taxpayers will make good. whose
sailings will be dictated by the needs
Of powerful politicians, and whose
management generally will he subor'

purposes.
Mr.. WILSON sufficiently displays the
general tenor of his revised ship pur'
chase bill in his decision to make the
commercial operation Of American
ships financially impossible.

MULLIGAN.
Some Interesting Old New York His.
tory.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir, |
was much interested in the inquiry in
THE Sun by the American Irish His
tor,cal Society relative to Hercules
Mulltgan. II brings back some old New
York history with which I have been
rather familiar.
Thu career OF this Revolutionary
soldier has long been hidden IN ohscur-
ity. and while others less worthy have
been covered with viCarious glory the
name and fame OF this patriotic citizen
OF New York are almost entirely I'M
known. II Is my belief that some Of
his descendants live on Long Island,
and one of them. John w. M~ulligan,
many years & was a m OF the
Saint Nicholas Society Of New York.
There Is also a family named Tanning
still on Long Island whose paternal
descent H. claimed to he from the cele-
brated Colonial sea captain James Fam
ming. who named the flaming Islands,
and whose tombstone, remarkable for
the great length of IN" inscription.
nearly 1000 letters, / have seen in an
old cemetery at Riverhead | believe
a descendant of this flaming married
one OF the Long Island M~ulligans. a re-
uniting OF tNe Irish strain. for the orig'-
nal Tanning also came from Ireland.
7 hardly think there ought TO he
much difficulty about locating his de-
scendants, but. II there should he, per-
haps the county records would help. for
II is probable that a successful ner-
chant like Hercules Mulligan owned
property IN New York. Besides 20
Queen street. he also lived At 100
broadway, the present site Of the Law
yers Title Company's building, where
his son And n law office, and had a

1854. In this nook 1t is stated that
during n small portion OF Alexander
Hamilton's college life he resided with
Mr.. Hercules Mulligan In Water street,
but the house was long since torn down.
am almost sure that some informa-
ton about aim can be had from Bar
rett's Merchants OF Old New York
and don't know how much interest
may be found in the fact that Mulligan
was one of the original Tamnany men
and was u friend Of William Mooney,
the Nassau street upholsterer. who
founded the "Society OF Tammany or
Columbian Order somewhere back In
i7s9. and both belonged to the Liberty
Boys"
This Interesting character has never
received his proper place In history. but
perhaps now that a historical society
has become alive to that fact they may
do some Justice 10 his memory.
