CLAIMS TO BE A FAIR FIGHTER. President Declines to Grant Hearing, Claiming That Mr. Whitney In Let ter Asking the Interview Again Mis represents Him on the Subject of Reciprocity. Boston, Nov. 21. Henry M. Whit ney, Democratic candidate for lieuten ant governor at the last election, made public last night correspondence which bad passed between President Roose velt and himself concerning the state ments said to have been made by the president In an interview during last winter which was granted to a com mittee from Massachusetts on recip rocal trade relations. The president informed the Massa chusetts committee that called on him last week in favor of free hides that Mr. Whitney had deliberately misrep resented what had occurred at last winter's conference. With this ex perience in mind, the president de clined to enter upon a discussion of free hides with the free hides commit tee, the chairman of which was Gov ernor W. L. Douglas. The statement of Mr. Whitney dur ing the recent canvass in Massachu setts that the president told him he favored reciprocity with Canada was that to which the president took ex ception. Whitney's Letter to President. Mr. Whitney's letter to the president dated Nov. 17, 1905, follows: "Sir You have done me a great in justice in publicly asserting that I have wilfully misrepresented your at titude on the question of reciprocity with Canada, and that this was done in cowardly fashion by saying what I did under conditions when the dig nity of your high office prevented you from denying. "I think I am not open to tills charge. I claim n my humble way to be a fair fighter. I believe I have a well estab lished and well deserved reputation in this community for fairness and justice. I may have misunderstood you and hence may have been led Into error. You have charged me with an offense of which I am not guilty; you have condemned me unheard. I ap peal to your sense of fairness for a personal hearing. "My public utterances touching your attitude on this question are very few and very brief. I will bring them with me If you grant me this request. I will have the passages marked and It will not take you two minutes to read them. "I trust, therefore, that you will grant my request; but whether you do or not I shall regret more than any thing else in connection with this mat ter that the righteous cause of reci procity with neighboring countries, of so much value to our people and to the whole of the human race, is not to have the indorsement of your great name and the benefit of your potent aid. "I take the liberty of enclosing herewith a public statement made by myself and my assistants touching the matter of our Interview with you last winter,- which perhaps you may not have seen, and remain, yours very re spectfully, "Henry M. Whitney." Charges More Misrepresentation. The letter from the president to Mr. Whitney was as follows: "Nov. 18, 1905. ' "Sir I have your letter of the 17th Instant. In view of my previous ex perience with you I am obliged to state, with regret, that it is out of the question for me to grant you another interview. In this letter of Nov. 17, in which you make this request, you furnish additional evidence of the wis dom of my refusing to communicate further with you; my refusal being based upon your evident Inability to understand, or determination to mis represent, what I say. "In this letter you state that you 'regret more than anything else In connection with this matter that the righteous cause of reciprocity with neighboring countries, of so much value to our people and to the whole of the human race, Is not to have the Indorsement of your (my) great name, and the benefit of your (my) potent aid.' "Nothing that I have said at any time has given you the slightest war rant for making this assertion; and when, In the very letter asking for an interview and denying thnt you ever wilfully misrepresented my previous remarks, you incorporate another de liberate misstatement, you can hardly wonder thnt I decline to see you; nor would there In any event be the slight est point in such an interview. "In your speeches you pretended to quote from memory certain statements made iu the course of a long conver sation occurring nearly a year pre vious. You quoted portions of what I said even ns to these portions, your language was Inaccurate and all tho context was suppressed. "As a result you as completely mis represented me as In the sentence ot your present letter which I quote above. It matters little whether this was due to a deliberate purpose of de ception or to a lack, in both your companions and yourself, of a nico sense of propriety and of the power of exact thinking and correct apprehen sion and repetition of what was sail. In either event, I feel that It would serve no useful purpose again to sea you or further to correspond with you. "You are at liberty to make this torrespondence public if you choose. "Yours truly, "Theodore Roosevelt" The enclosures referred to by Mr. Whitney were copies of letters from Andrew G. Webster of this city and J. M. W. Hall of Cambridge, who went to Washington with Mr. Whitney as members of the committee, in which Messrs. Hall and Webster state that Mr. Whitney's public account of what occurred at the Interview was in agre-j-mcnt with their memory of what was laid. SIXTY BODIES WASHED ASHORE, Company Officials Place Number of Dead on Steamer Hilda at 128. St. Malo, Nov. 21. Realization of the full extent of the disaster to the Cross-Channel steamer Hilda was borne in upon the people of this town as reports of the finding of bodies came in from different points along the nearby coast. In .11 over 60 bodies have been washed up, Including that of Captain Gregory, the commander of the wrecked ship, which now lies in the hospital here, and as fast as other bodies arrive they are placed in a long room prepared for their reception. Thirteen bodies of saloon passen gers have been Identified. These are Mrs. Rook, her two children and their governess; Dr. Stanley, his wife and two daughters and a maid; Major and Mrs. Price, Mr. Wellesley and Mr. Grlndle. The survivors are rapidly recovering. The entrance to the harbor of St Malo is one of the most difficult known to mariners. On Saturday night a blinding snowstorm with- haze and high winds prevailed, and it is little wonder that even so experienced a navigator as Captain Gregory lost his reckoning, especially as at the point where the Hilda struck only a few yards deviation from the regular course meant destruction. Torpedo boats despatched to the scene of the wreck ascertained that there is no hope of salvaging the vessel. James Gunter, the rescued seaman, says that in response to the captain's appeal, when he found it would be useless to attempt to launch the boats, all the women and children were mustered In the main hatph and the stewardesses fixed life belts arouna each of them, the French onion sellers assisting in the work. Everybody was very quiet. Gunter says there were about 20 per sons on the rigging when the vessel foundered. He describes pathetically how the men gradually dropped off exhausted by the terrible cold, and says the roar of the elements was aw ful. As the men fell off they ejacula ted: "We have had enough of this. It does not matter how we die. Good bye." EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED. Two Engines Tipped Over and Two Engineers Were Killed.
