"Yours truly, "William E. Glasscock, Chester H. Aldrich, Robert P. Bass, Joseph M. Carey, Chase S. Osborn, W. R. Stubbs, Herbert S. Hadley. "The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, "New York City." Secretary Gave News. Efforts of Col. Roosevelt's friends t induce him to make an earlier declara tion of his attitude on the presidential question had been unavailing. His la oonic remark to a friend in Cleveland last Wednesday night, "My hat is in the ring-you will have my answer Monday," was the first real indication that he had in mind an affirmative an swer to the governors' letter. Upon promise that the reply would be given out tonight, a small army of newspaper men gathered at the colo nel's offices early in the evening. Sec retary Fran-k Harper met the report ers punctually and gave out the cor respondence 'without comment. He said he was in no position to comment, and in view of the author's absence in Boston, where he will spend several days, it was impo'ssie to get an ela boration of the statements made in.the letter. "I TRINK I HAVE MADE NY POSYTION CLEAR" .Boston, Feb. 25.-"I think I have made my position~ clear. I have no plans beyond this tonighit. For tomor row and afterwards no one knows what is in store." This was Col. Roos n clt's response to the appeals made to him toutight for some word in regard to I1is statement. As he spoke he smiled. Then he added with a chuckle: "T am baying qui..t literary evening. I havye not talked po litics with any one." Col. Roosevelt was at the home ol Judge Robert Grant, a Harvard class r.iate, w-vth whom h-a. spent the ziight. News of his dec'si-m spread aru-id the city like wildfire tonight and creat -ed a great deal of excitement. Judge Grant's home was besieged by 'a crowd * of persons anxious to see the colonel, -who was quietly discussing literature within. When at last he appeared at the doorway he beamed upon his inter viewers as though something had made -bim more than usually happy. ~ A dozen questions were fired at the colonel as soon as he appeared. He cut them off with a laugh, saying: "A quiet day. I am spending a very quiet day. In regard to politics, I have seen no human being." "But, colonel," said an insistent questioner, "will you not explain what you think should be done in regard to the -direct primaries for choice of pIresidenltil nominees ?" -"Everybody knows my position on 'direct primaries," he replied. "I have .always beieved in them." "Now that you have taken this stand," was suggested, "you will doubtless be urged by your supporters to take the stump. Will you enter up -on such a campaign?" "That is a bridge which I must -cross when I come to it," was his only -commnent The colonel was told that his discus sion of the recall of judges and of judicial decisions in his speech last week in Columbus, 0., had been inter preted in various waya. He said that evidently there had been much confu sion as to his meaning. "I shall reiterate whet I said," he 4ecared. ''and if possible I shall put it in plainer language." Again protesting that he was not concerning himself with politics, Col. Roosevelt said he must return to his discussion of literature. He remark ed that he wanted to talk over Dick ens, Thackaray and Scott with a cer tain Harvard professor, with .whose views he did not entirely agree. Tomorrow Col. Roosevelt will go to the home of Grafton D. Cushing, speaer o~ the 31,aIhuS(tts hous'. 1 \ho1m !?

ROOSETELT OFFICE SIYS TO BE NO THIRD PARTY Washington, Feb. 25.-At the na tional Roosevelt committee headquar ters here, of which Medill McCormick is director, the following statement was givern out: "Col. Roosevelt has no intention 'whatsoever of forming a third, or people's party in the event the Chicago convention fails to name him as the candidate of the Republican party. -Statements recently made that the for mer president would take such action as stated are without foundation. "That such a proposition has been made to Col. Roosevelt is not denied. It is stated that the activity of the administration nomination campaign managers in making use of the 'steam roller' caused several admirers of Col. Roosevelt to fear the Chicago conven tion would be 'packed' and that the popular will of the people would fina no expression there. In this event, it was asserted, it would be well to gi've the people a chance to express their sentiments at the polls, an independ ent "party being formed to place Ool. Roosevelt's name before them. "From an authoritative source it was learned today that Col. Roosevelt did not look upon the proposition with favor, and in effect stated that such a proceeding was out of the question." HADL?EY WAS NOT SURPRISED Governor of Missouri is Working for Former 2resident in District of State. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 25.--Her bert S. Hadley, when told of Col. Roosevelt's statement, said: "Col. Rooseevlt's statement is such as I had expected from previous communica tions from him and statements he has made. "If the methods suggested by Col. Rooseevlt for the selection of dele gates to the national convention were adopted there is little doubt in my mind that he would be nominated." When asked in what States the seven governors would now take steps to further the nomination of Col. Rooseevlt, Gov. Hadley said: "I know one governor who is doing all he can .to further Rooseevlt's in terest in each of the several districts of Missouri.". He said he thought the governors would make no organized effort, as he could see no good to be accomplished by such a move. OSBORNE APPROVES IT. Pleasedo With Way Colonel Has Re sponded. Lansing, Mich., Feb. 25.--"The statement of Theodore Roosevelt rings true, it is just like him," said Gov. Chase S. Osborne, in a signed state ment tonight. "If the Republican party has not lost its sense completely and its ia teret in the masses, and it has not, it will nominate Theodore Roosevelt," Gov. Osborne declared. "Michiga sentiment is for him three to one." HOUSE SUST AINS VE TO. Objection to Medical Inspection BXt Upheld-Caused General Debate. The house sustained the governor's veto of the act providing for the mo4I ical inspection of children in the pub lic schools by two'- votes. The 'v toed act was taken up Thursday night, and 60 members voted to pass the bH1l over the executive veto while 33 mem-1 bers voted to sustain the governor. It1 required a vote of two-thirds of the members to pass. the act over the reto. The committee on medical affairs submitted a divided report on the b-ill providing for medical inspection. Mr. Saye, Mr. Wyche and Mr. Wil ler r'ecommended that the bill pass "the veto of the governor to the con trary notwithstanding." Mr. Sawyer, Mr. Turnbull and Mr. Harrison recom -mnde+tht the vto be sustained. Messrs. Mower and Wyche voted to pass the bill over the veto. Mr. Kib ler was not recorded as voting. Mr. Wyche spoke in favor of the passage of the bill. He said that be cause the bill might have imperfections was no reason why it should not pass at this session. He submitted to the members that the women of the State had advocated th. pa agei of such a b1il.

Gives Advice in Choosing Delegates from South Carolina. Washington, Feb. 23.-Senator Till man today made the following state ment to the News and'Courier's cor respondent: "In view of the fact that I am a member of the Democratic national committee and have been since 1892, and have attended every national con- f vention except that at Denver, during the last 20 years, it may not be im proper for me to express my views on the coming convention at Baltimore. "I believe the South. Carolina dele gation at that convention should go uninstructed, as far as candidates are concerned; that has been the custom with our people so long that it is almost a rule. Let the State conven tion select good, representative men and instruct them to look over the field and determine what candidate " they will support, by ballot among { themselves, and the chairman can an 'nounce. the results. In this way the State will wield an influence which would be impossible if each delegate should vote his individual preference. "But I am more concerned lest the fight on local issues shall result in embittering the situaticg in the State more than it now is. State politics should not govern the selection of delegates and it would be unfortunate if the delegates to Baltimore are elect ed to do any one man's bidding; in other words, we do not wan't a Blease delegation, a Jones delegation or a Tilman delegation, but a delegation alive to 'the best interests of the Dem ocratic party and that only. We have, in my opinion, the best chance~ to elect a Democratic president since the war. I never regarded Cleveland's adminis tration as Democratic and I do want to live long enough to see a Demo cratic president inaugurated., If we make no mistake in the non{ination, we are bound to win." SEN'ATE HELD UP -BY LAST MEASUE The legislature May Adjourn Next Thursday-- old Executive Ses sion. When it was discovered Saturday night that the Crosson bill for winding up the dispensary commission was notI among the bille sent over to the office 'of the secretary of state a fiurry was caused in the senato Xt was reported that the -bill had gone over to the secretary of state's office without the governor's signature, but a search among the bills there failed to reveal it. When the senate had disposed of R the vetoes on the appropriation bill an executive session was held, at I which this matter was considered. The matter was gone over in .exe cutive session and finally an under standing was reached whereby a reso lution to adjourn sine die on Thurs day was adopted, and it was agreed that the senate meet again Monday.
