The -result was hot words— decidedly hot, winding up by the Mayor or. dering Mr. Uesing out of his office. TNE MAYOWS STORY. Subsequentiy, a TrrscNne reporter saw Mayor Hanison, and asked him what the trouble had been between him and Mr. Hes- ing. He replied: “Thad rather uot talk about it.” “If you don't do that, I will have to get such information asl can, which may mis- represent yor “Well, Mr. Hesinz came with the Treas- urer of the Staats-Zeitung, I think, and de- manded pay for city printing which it claimed tohave done, up to Jast Monday, on the ground that it had been authorized todo this printing by the power of the Council, which had then terminated it, I replied to him that we couldw't pay him for anything after we had taker the priating away froin him, and asked bim to take his accounts to Mr. Gurney, the Controller, to audit them, and to see what amount, if any, he was enti- tled to as pay for printing. He said wat some of ‘the bills were fur printing dene for the Commissioner of Public’ Works, and that I was the proper party to examine them. I told him that dir. Gurney now audited all accounts.” He then made some statement about my stopping the payment 1 told him that £ couldn’t pay them because the Law Depart- ainent had decided that it was illegal, He then asked me if it was any’ more illegal to pay bills at present than it had been in the past. -I said that if he would read my veto anessage he would find my views on the question—that it was iNegul. “Then says he. *You have been paying legal accounts.’ 1 replied that I had. ‘Then he spoke up in an excited and vociferous mauner: ‘Then lam to understand you let the public know that Carter Harrison has been paying tor things that were illegal 2? “i said, *Yes,’ but that I had. stated my velo message and in my interview that did not know it Was illegal until he claimed payment for priniing which the departments did nut give to him, and that then the Corporation- Counsel had fooked into the matter and nad informed me of the illegality of the payments, He then, in a most Insulting manuer, said, “and yet you let us know that you’d continue this legal matter in Decc mber if the Staats- Zeitung would be triendly to you” = “This, coupled witha very abusive article, extracts of which I had _ re: in the News, excited me, and J must. acknowl edge that, as Carter Harrison, 1 lost my temper, whieli, as Mayor, it would have. been better for me to have conuolled. I had told his reporter the day before in an interview that Thad not said any such thing: that the Council had passed. an order dire iz me to yay them since 1 had stopped their duing the printing, and to continue § ‘ment until December; that by my Thad prevented that fiom becom- inzalaw; but that the ordinuance directing me through the Controller to advertise for a German paper in December is already a law, and that as the Jaw 1 should obe ies ue it if the matter was illegal in’ the past the other would be equally illegal—that is, the December advertisement, and he again said something about my having said that I would do an illegal thinx if the paper would help me, a “said to him, rather sternly, that ‘I had not said any such thing. He spuke very Joudly and said, "You did say-it, sir! you i FS * ” tr. Thompson, my secretary, who was said that Mr, Desing ten gave me L sprang from my-seat, with a paper-weightin iny hand, with the first in- iention of striking him to the ground. He then used very violent language, aud L must confess that Violent language was used on bath sides. I started toward him. and put. myhand on his coat with the intertion of putting him out of the room, for 1 was yery angry—I don’t know but 1 might say in- tensely excited. But, by an effort of the will, I restrained myself, called to Mr. Me- Gurn, and told him to ‘put this man out of the office.’ ““As MeGurn came in, Mr. Hesing said, ‘TH go out myself? ‘but said sumething about my lying. Some hot word went back from. me, what, 1 don’t now remember. As he went out of the dour he yelled back, was ta —— liar’? or *a — —— liar” I don’t know which. I then remarked to some of the em- ploy és who had come in that Lwas_ sorry for having become excited, but some of them re- marked that Mr. Uesing was much more ex- cited and boisterous than | was, “I dou’t suppose the public care anything for this personal controversy, but if they do wish to inake this general explanation: Three days azo Mr. Siemens, the Staats- 2 Zeitung reporter, a man whom fa really liked, met me in the Wa- ter Office, here there were present Gen. Lieb and self, and s ington Hesi . Whuse friend 1 ays deen, that there is no use in his paper fight- in me, thar L would. certainly. fight back; that he would gain more by treating me faire Jy; that 1 wanted his paper to publish my. to message in full, so that his German readers could understand my reasons tor the veto” This order that I bad’ vetoed was one thing, but December was coming, and that advertismz in a German paper then was another thing, meaning by that, as L had said before, that my veto prevented an order "from becoming a law, but that I supposed that 1 would have 0 Was itlready a law, ‘The Staats-Zeittuny published that friendly message, never intended tor publication, ina Gr ted form, making it appear that I was iddin for ‘the Staats-Zeturiy support. ‘This was utterly false. On this garbled re port they have put in two bitterly personal editorial attacks upon me. These coming to my nouce nade me somewhat anery. The messare, however, to Mre Washington Hes- ing was not different from several } have sent to other editors throuzh their re- ‘potters several times. 1 do_ like to have Newspapers concede that I do my duty \to the best of my __ ability. Iwas néver more surprised in my life than When Mr. Adams gave me his opinion that we bad not a righttopintin German. Was simply seeking to tind whether the Staate-Zeitung could force the city to pay for printing which it took from the Herald, in which wedo print city matters, in spite of our rerusal ta have the Same inserted in that paper. Uhad ne idea of Mr, Adams’ opinion unl he gave it to me, and 1 think that: Mr. Adams bimself was’ surprised when he Jooked up the matter. 1 had been doiny situply What former: Administrations had done, and what under the law I thought J had to do. Mr. Hesing’s Iniendly interviiew Sith me this mon.ing has made we paln- tully conscious that my temper has not all Bone as gray hairs have come.” MR. WASHINGTON HESING. ‘The reporter’ subsequently called upon Mr. Washington Hesing, at the office of the T Stants-Zcitung, with the purpose of obtain- ing from him his version of the aifair. Mr. Hesing willingly complied, and said: + “Mr. Pietsen and 1 went this morning to the City-Hall with the bills due to the Staats- Zeitung, and teft them with the departments to which they belonged. In the Controllers office the bills were handed to Mr. Frank Barrett, beside whom Mr. Gurney was stand- ing. Gurney remarked: ‘Are those the bills for advertising?” Lsaid: * Yes.” He thereupon, in a very gentlemanly manner, said: *1 guess you'll have ty sue for them.” We thereupon went out to the Mayor's office, and found him at his desk talking with Sec- Telary Thompson. 1 bade him good day, aud fitroduced Mr. Pietsch as the busiuess- manager of the Staats-Zcilung. “i then said: ‘Mr. Mayor, we have taken the bills for advertising up to last Monday night, on which duy the same power which gave us the contract abrogated it, to the va- Tigus departivenis, aad would respectfully ask you to put th through.’ He sald: “What bills?” [ said: *Bills for advertising.’ Ue said: ‘Well, 1 have nothing to-do with that. You must go to the Coutraljer. He audits the bills.’ “Mr, Pietsch then said: ‘You are the Conmnissioner of Public Works and those bilis will go through your hands.’ | He said: “That: those bitls won't be paid, any wi : ‘Why not? You paid bills prior to July on the same contract under which we claim the payment of these bills.” ~ During this time be was seated at his k, but was visibly worked up: 1 then * You donot intend to pay these bills 2 No; sir, under no consideration. if yuu had read my veto message you would Know that it would be illegal to pay the { bills.’ 1 then said: * Then, Mr. Mayor, you { adinit that prior to July 1 you e paid out money illegally, and there a_remedy against you individually. if you claimethe printing in the Geruian language to be ille- gal, then why did you say that when Decem- ber came, If we would be decent, you would. Stand by u “Thereupon he jumped up fearfully en- raged. and grabbed a large glass pape! Weight, made a threat-to hit me, and said: ‘You're a d—d liar.’ Thereupon L stepped up to him and shuok my fist in his face, and Si You strike me if you dare; you’re a — —— liar? “He then said: ‘You sent aman around here who misrepresented me, and constantly uisrepresents. me in the Stauts-Zetung. 1 have had enough of these —- — liars.” I therenpon again said: ‘if you say uat the dtlinvis Staats-Zeitung has ever misrepre- Sented you, Yuu are a —— — har,’ ** With that 1 again raised my hand and defied him to stike me. He thereupon Went to the dour ard called for MeGurn, and said, ‘Remove this man.’ Ls: Mr. Mayor, this is your office and you have the right to request me ty withdraw, and there as no necessity for an oflicer. am gentleman enough to withdraw’ Mr. McGurn stepped up to me, and, ina very gentlemanly manner, said: *We don’t want any trouble here.’ 1 began to with- draw slowly, when the Mayor again said, the glass ball still in his hand: ‘You're a d—d tian? My answer was, a parting shot; ‘You’re a-——-—— liar, and you know. i Fi ‘The reporter read the interview with Mr. Hesing to Mr, Pietsen, who was present dur- ing the war of words, and the Jatter gentle- mun pronounced it accurate in every re- spect. WHAT IT WAS ALL AROUT. With a view of gettmg some information about the message from Harrison to the Staats-Zeitung, the reporter asked Washing- ton Hesing: — - “What about the statement made by the Mayor to your Citv-Hall reporter relative to your treating Harrison decently and he would try and help you in December.” Mr. Hesing said the message was not de- livered to him, but Mr. Gestefeld, the city editor, knew al about it. Mr. Gestefeld was then isterrogated, and said: ~ Tuesday afternoon the City-Hall reporter stated tu A. C. Hesing, in my presence, that the Mayor had told him, the reporter, in a conversation at the: City-Hall, to tell, the Siaatz-Zeitung that if they would be more friendly to him (Harrison), and let him alone, he would see what he could do in December. This remark, to which Mr. A. C. Hesins made a forcible reply, was published in the Stuats-Zettung Wednesday morning, with the comment that the message couid mean nothing else but that Mr. Harrison, in consideration of better treatment by the Staats-Zeitung, might be willmg to restore the German city printing, Remarks te by Mr. Harrison on hearing of this article, which were reported in the Freie Presse, and were rather insulting to the city editorof the Y Stanta-Zeitung, caused the city editor to 0 to Mr. Harrison and ask if he had used the I ge reported. When the question was ked there was no one present but Secretary Thompson.” The Mayor replied that he had mot used. any such Janguage, but its deaning was hat he thought of him, because the city editor had constantly misrepresented him. The city editor then asked when the misrepresentation. took place. He said in thealleged message. to the Staats-Zeitung, which bad been printed that morning. ‘The city editor then said that the reporter would shortly, be in, but- in the m time he would like to know if he (Har- Tison) had not said something to the same effect to Ald. in. He then said: it was a d—d lie, but on had said to him (Harri- son) that the city editor had told Dixon that the Mayor had threatened to take the city printing from the Stuats-Zectung un- it supported him. The city ea- then answered it was a” d—d lie. Durine the “conversation which ensued the Mayor admitted having threatened after his election to take the printing away unless the Staats-Zeitung stopped criticising him, but he meant it only as a joke. The City-Hall ‘reporter of the Staats-Zeitung having come in in the mean- Ume, insisted that the message brought by him to the Staats-Zeitung had been correct- ly delivered, but he also admitted to the Mayer that he (Harrison) ‘had used the ful- lowing language: ‘Tell’ Mr. Washington Yesing, whom 1 like and-who is my friend, Jthink that he cannot make anything by abusing me. The Staats-Zeituny should be a little more pleasant towards me and let me alone. ecember is coming, and then this matter will be in a fer- ent shape’ Controller Gurney had come, in in the meantime, and_ several other genile- wen. During the argument over the earreet- Hess of the- message as delivered, the Mayor said. turmng to Mr. Gurney, that he had given orders that the German printing should be advertised for again in December, and Mr. Gurney corroborated jt. The question ot the city editor, how the M: give such ‘an order, after having yeto that it was illegal to printady ements in German, enraged the Mayor to such a de- aree that he erabbed the paper-weight and made a motion as If to sirike. ‘The M: thought better of it, and returned to the = ject of the message, and wante make the. - reporter y that on the day before had exp! and indignation to the. Ma: whic ner in which the paper had abused him. The reporter, however, denied having made such remarks, “After the city editor had left the room the Mayor turned to the reporter and said: *You should not have been afraid of that bulldozing city editor of yours. Lf you had stood by me, and had said what 1 said you had said, and he had discharged you, I would have given you a good place right away.’ ? Mayor, Ilarrison’s message to the Staats- Zeitung? and his explanation of what he Meant thereby, will be found in the inter- view withshim. It is understood that he de- nies that. any personal feeling actuated ‘him in taking the city printing from the Stauts- Zeitury, although he felt sore over what he considered its unjustitied attacks. THE COUCH ESTATE, Ira Couch’» Quarter-Interest to Be Sold in Satisfaction of Hix Indebtednens. According to a legal publication made on Friday, it: seams that the old question as-10 the present ownershipof the Tremont House property is to be renewed. A reporter of Tur Tripese yesterday investigated the facts, and ascertained that a sale of that and other property was to be wade by virtue of a deed filed of record in the Recorder’s office four years.ago. The deed reads as follows: “This indenture, made Jan. 29, 1s77z, be tween Ira Couch, of Chicago, Lil, of the first part, and Charles A.
