8 REJOINDER BYSTORtR Ex-Ambassador’s Second Sec tion of His Oisoute with the President. 6AYS HE HAS HEARD SOME NE7YS That His Wife Had Attacked Choate and Por;er. He or His Wife Never Heard of It Be rt re—Another K«Mw»evelt Letter —Calls Ireland as a Witness. Cincinnati. Per-. 11. —Bellamy Stor er. ei-Vnited States ambassador al Vienna, has given to the Associated Press the following statement in re ply to the letter of President Roose velt made public yesterday: “My let ter to the president and his cabinet was written for the cool, deliberate judgment of men who should be kept informed of the true facts in the con duct of the administration. It was not written for the public, nor hurried ly given to the press to anticipate pub lic opinion. * * * In itself it is an answer to many things the president Las seen fit to say. but as new mat ter has been put forward by Mr. Roose \elt I feel compelled to speak. No Need of Insulting Adjectives. •There was no need of violent and insulting adjectives to show that the president dislikes me and did not wish n e to remain in the service or to re tire from it in any customary way. While the past has shown that few men. €an differ with either the wishes or the memory of Mr. Roosevelt with out at once becoming a scoundrel and q }iar I must make jJojjie comments on vrimt he has given out at the White House. Denies Belittling Two Diplomats. “That anything was ever written to the president by my f|fe to the effect ‘that Mr. Clioate and f&eneral Porter were not proper persons to be ambas sadors’ [one of the president’s state mens] is news to botli of us. For both these distinguished men we have, and have had, nothing but respect and pood will personally and officially. It would have been an honor to any one to take any post ever filled by either es them after tuey ceased to occupy it. And the only feeling possible is one of regret .That both of them have been l'NSt to tbe public service since Mr. Roosevelt was re-elected." * * * PROMOTION FOR BELLAMY Discussed bv the President letter to Mrs. Storer. Storer then gives in full a long let ter from the president, dated Wash ington. Oct. 4. ltol, in reply to a let ter from Mrs. Storer. which apparently was a letter urging the promotion of Ftorer either to another diplomatic po sition or to a cabinet place. The let ter is published. Storer says, to show that his wife's letter “to which this was an answer, now s]ioken of only with a sneer, was considered differ ently by Mr. Roosevelt at tbe time it was received.” The letter is addressed to “My Dear Maria." and begins “You need never be afraid of writing to me or of ask ing anything.” Then he proc**eds to discuss the philosophy of appoint ments to cabinet positions; declares Root invaluable, after stating that it is very unlikely that he will make any changes, and that Root's retirement would be a public calamity. He says Root is tlie only member who can vig orously present the administration’s policies, the president says, and that as he did retire he (the president! would have to consider the question of getting the best man. and it might be that lie would consider Storer that man. lie says that if I.ong should with draw from the navy department Stor cr might be given that position, but he wanted a Pacific coast man in the cabinet and also wanted New England represented. He did not see then any Pacific coast man who would do. He considered Storer’s religion a favorable asset for a cabinet place and would like to have a Roman Catholc in the cabinet. Hie point in which the cab inet was weak was in men who were in close touch with the people, and carried weight when explaining his pol icies, purposes and acts, the only man lilling that condition being Root, and lie very busy. Then he takes up diplomatic posi tions and says that he knows of no holder of one of those positions who intends to resign. He says the ap pointment of a Roman Catholic to Ger many or Italy would bo a mistake: but that difficulty did not exist as to tny other diplomatic post. Porter was «loing <o well in France that it would be tlie height of injustice to turn him <-ut. He elo-es with the promise that if the French post should become va cant he would offer it to Storer at oiwe. unless lie could offer him a cab inet position. In no place in the letter is there any reforenee to any attack by Mrs. St »r ---er on any public official, at home or abroad. and Storer’- apparent purpose in publishing it is t«* show that the president was not ;.t all worried or bothered by Mrs. Storer’s anxiety for ler husband’s advancement. ARCHBISHOP IS BROUGHT IN Storer Says Ireland Can Confirm \l hat He Ha*> Stated. Storer then v *irt on: “The preei £cnt says—‘The nsrertion that 1 sn- Ihorized him to make such a statement ns in* says he was authorized to make to the nope is untrue. 1 gave him no such authorization.' He omits to note that he himself told Archbishop Ire land that bo had done the letter of the latter to ire, which i had quoted. 1 have ready —to snl mit with other fitters of what the presi dent told Ar-hil sliop heland relative to his mess.* ge il.rough me to the pope. “lie says and it is supported by Mr. I.oeb that he never received try let ei reparting in detail my visit to the Yati can. That letter was written and mailed at Meran. within the Austrian frontier, at my first moment of st?>p long enough to write after leaving Rome. The date is the 4th or sth of December. l!t03. aid the letter is the one referred to by nie in my own let ter to the presidnt of .lan. lb, UUP. where 1 say ‘as I wrote you exm tly what I did and said. won may judge whether J overstepped.' It is a pify the letter in question cannot lie found. “The president charges me with *dis ingenuousnoss’in the matter of my res ignation in January, 1904 the one which was refused by him. and says that my resignation was based on an other reason entirely than my going to the Vatican to convey his message, and his treatment of the matter afterward, lie had. in the strongest terms, already forbidden me to refer to that matter, and already forbidden me to quote him again in reference tc it. It was there fore quite proper and natural not to speak of it. but simply to leave it to him to accept my resignation on any ground he chose, or on no ground at all, if he saw fit. “The Hurst incident, in which in principle I was right—l felt I had been wrong in detail, and was not afraid to say so —afforded me a perfect opportunity to tender my resignation without again troubling tlie president’s susceptibilities regarding his messages to Rome. If the word ‘Vatican’ was not mentioned in my letter of resigna tion the facts were in existence within the knowledge of the president all the same. It was five months only before the nominating convention, and 1 was desirous of avoiding any possible embarrassment to Mr. Roosevelt in any way. This now becomes ‘particular perfidy’ on my part in the view and language of tlie president of the Fnit ed States. As I have already said my original letter is really an answer to everything else that is contained in the president’s communication to the press. I ask deliberate judgment on It in reply to whatever he has seen fit to charge upon me and mine.” ANOTHER WAGE ISSUE SETTLED N. Y., N. H. and H.

Diffenbach, of Flower hospital, says the X ray frequently produces cancer. He suggests that the remark able increase in cancer of the stomach may be due to the abandonment of the old-fasliioned copper or iron cooking vessels and the substitution of the fiiod ern enameled ware, on the theory that minute particles of this gritty enamel are frequently passed through tlie ali mentary tract, causing irrigation. Further declarations of the remark able curative effect of trypsin, the new extract of the pancreatic juices, in cancer cases are made in the current issue of the Medical Record by Dr. William .T. Morton, professor of dis eases of the mind and the nervous sys tem at the Post-Graduate Medical v school and hospital, and by Dr. Mar garet Abigail Cleves.

Dec. 10. —President Samuel Plantz,of Lawrence university, made a statement in which he correct? statements recently appearing in pub lic print with reference to the gift of $50,000 to Lawrence university from the general education board founded by John D. Rockefeller.

Mr. Rockefeller has given j Yale and Harvard a million each, but ! whose professors have spoken more i freely on economic questions?” He 1 also refers in the same to Chicago uni versity professors. Touching upon the subject of “tained money” President Plantz said it was not at all clear to him that Rockefellr’s money deserves any such characterization. “It is the motive which taints money,” said Plantz.
