- THE NORWICH M'KINLEY BANQUET i Reports Reaching the ‘ Created Considerable Feeling CONNECTICUT HAS BE No Foundation for Statement that Réference was Made in Any Way to the Senatorial or Any Other Political Contest in this State in Mr. Cole’s Speech—Reflect- ion on All Concerned. (Special to The Bulletin.) “Wasbington, Feb. 4—The published reports regarding the McKinley ban- auet at Norwich, whiah have just reached Washington. came like a bomb #hell to those whose names are men- med in this connection, and have cre- ated considerable feeling at the capi- tol Al unite in saying that they re- gret exceedingly. to have a matter of this kind come out, as it tends to make members of congress from other states decline to come to Connecticut o speak at public banquets, and even @t Dest it is hard to get any prominent man to take the time for such pur- poses. Connecticut Members Vexed. The Connecticut members, who se- cured Representative Cole for the ban- «auet, are especially vexed at the turn ¢ afairs as they. know Mr. Cole is entirely blameless in the matter, and they feel that Connecticut has been represented in its feelings toward speaker that may come to the idiculous Insinuation. when shown the despatch read it carefully, and them in a most earnest and_sincere smanner, spoke as follows: “You can say for me, and make it as emphatic as possible, that there is not one word n the article in question, nor there ary foundation in fact for Mr. © this mornins. e the statement that I took occasion to mefer in any shape or manner to ths 1 or any other political con- onnecticut, in my speech at . The Insinuation that 1 had Been approached, or that it had been suggested to me that I say something that might assist Senator Bulkeley in his canvass for re-election. is ridicu- Jous. Not only that, but such an in- &inuation is unfair to Senator Bulke- Jey, to Mr. Higgins_ to Major Tilson and to myself, and I resent i 1 _did mot refer to the senatorial campaign, nor. fa to the senate af all, ex- cept to soy that It was a st all body entirely surrounded by em' oyes. “1 do not remember that . spoke of the question of lensth of service of eny members of congress. nor the pol- fcy of continuing good men in office. Bot it T 41d. it would be a most mat- ural thing for me to 6, for I have been preaching ghat doctrine in Obio and elsewhere for the Imst six years. I Zave often referred to the advantage that New England has in econgress by sason of the fact that New England is in the hablt of continuing its mem- bers of congress vear after year, while we of Ohio change often, and the re- sult at present is shown by the fact that we have lost all of our chairman- ghips in the house from Ohio, while Xew England continues in power and influence. “In my speech, I referred {o Mr. Hig- gins and to Major Tilson in the high- cst terms because they are my per- #onal friends, and because I know they 2re doing their duty here in Washing- ton. 1 was glad to do that, for I esteem them highly. and they invited #me to come to Norwich and make the epecch. Both of them urged me to come, and while at first I felt obliged 120 decline, they kept asking me on =5 many occasions that finally I con- sented because they could get no one No Promptings from Any Person. There was no_suggestion from Ma- n. from Mr. Higgins, nor from €ise a3 to what I stould sav, cment is a_reflection If, however, my remarks ed by the friends of Gov- Lean as injurious to his cam.- sologize. 1 met Governor at the banquet, and was great pressed with him. He made one nest speeches I have ever lis- National Capital Have 8 EN MISREPRESENTED tened to. There certainly was rio in- dication at the banquet of any such feeling as described in the article in cuestion. We were all together, friends of Governor McLean and friends of Senator Bulkeley, and there was not a whisper of any objection to my remarks. Why. on the contrary, when I got through, the guests not on- Iy applauded_but-stood on~their feet and yelied. It was one of the great- ‘st recep: I ever.got, and it pleas - ed me very much. | The Proper Thing to Do. nly the other evening I met Sen- ator Brandegee at the White house | reception, and, in speaking of the banquet at Norwich, he remarked that he had noticed in the printed reports | of my speech-that I had taken care not to touch upon the senatorial question in the state at all. and he sald he | was glad of it and that It was the | proper thing to do. I, think I know | how to observe the proprieties on an | oceasion of this kind, as I have been | making speeches since I "was fifteen years 0ld, and I certainly had no in- tention of aiding or Injuring any man in his political ambitions. | Sensational and Unfounded Reports. | "I bave written Governor_ McLean to explain my position to him, and | expressing to him my regret at the turn of affairs, although I think this is really unnecessary. I want to re- | peat once more and emphatically that | there was no agreement as to what [ Was to say, nor was there any sugges- | tion from ‘any one regarding my re- marks. I am ia earnest about thik, and I hope the friends I think I made oh my visit to Connecticut will under- stand this, I very sorry this mat- ter has been distorted into such a sen- sational and unfounded story. I can- not conceive how or where anything Itke this can have originated.” Connecticut Members Pretty Sore. The Connecticut members Involved are losth to say anything in relation 0 the subject. They feel it keenly, however, and are pretty sore. Major Tilson saia: = The only coumection I had wit] s w] was to in- vite Mr, Cole. -n?:a- rsonal friend of mine, to the I had a let- asking me get someone who knew the late President McKinley, to come to the McKinley banquet 'at Norwich. ( thought at once 6f Mr. Cole, but both Mr. Higgine .and I had to urge him considerably to go. I not Suggest to him what to say, and as for thie report that some of us held a <conference to map out a_ programme, that is all rot, I never heard of such a thing. As a matter of fact the whole story is ridiculous, but I am very sorry it has involved Mr. Cole, who made a special effort to go to Connecticut at the request of Mr. Higgins and my- gelf, and who Is one of the finest men I kniow in congress. Of course he had no idea that his remarks would or could be construed into any such talo as this, and naturally he resents it.” Statement by Mr. Higgins. Mr. Higgins would say but little, and simply authorized the following state- ment: “I sald nothing to Congress- man Cole about his trin to Norwich, except to urge him to go." Senator Bulkeley Refused to Be Quot- ed. Senator Bulkeley, the “storm center™ in the whole affalr, refused to be quot- ed in any way. He knew nothing of Representative Cole’s visit to Norwich, has never met the Ohio representa- tive, and did not think he even knew him by sight. The other members of the Connecti~ cut delegation were in no way involved and of course had nothing to say. TRIAL OF SOPHIE KRITCHMAN. BATTLE OF MEDICAL EXPERTS.

ANOTHER DISASTER AVERTED % BY MEANS OF WIRELESS. Captain and Crew of 46 Men Taken from Steamer Kentucky, Sunk Off Cape Hatteras—“S. O. 8.” Signal Quickly Answered. New York, Feb. 4.—Thanks again to the wireless and the international dis- tress signal, “S. O. S.” Captain Moore and his crety of forty-six men are safe on board the Mallory liner Alamo, bound for Key West, tonight, while their vessel, the Kentucky, has sunk off Cape Hatteras. It is another case of a disaster averted by wireless and told to the world by the same medi~ um. The Kentucky, a wooden vessel of 996 gross tonnage and 203 feet long, was bound from New York to the Pa- cific to earry passengers between Ta- coma Alaskan ports for the Alaska Pacific Steamship company. First news of the Kentucky's plight was recelved at the United Wireless com ’s station at Cape Hatteras at 11.30 o'clock this morning. There the operator heard “S. O. S.” quickly fol- lowed by this message: “We are sink- latitude is 32.10, longitude Almost simultaneously the operator heard the steamer Alamo respond to the Kentucky’s call for help, informing Captain Moore that the Alamo was making all speed to the sinking ves- sel’s assistance. Thereafter no me: sage was received from the Kentucky. indlcating that water had interfered with the power, putting her wireless apparatus out of commission. The navy department in the mean- time flashed wireless messages along the Atlantic coast despatching the battleship Loufsiana and two_revenue cutters to the sceme, but at 5 o'clock this evening word came from the Ala- mo that she bad arrived first and had taken off all hands in safety. This is the message as recelved in New York by the United Wireless company from its Cape Hatteras station: “Latiturde ~ 32.46, longitude 76.28, steamship Alamo has just taken Cap- taln Moore and crew of 46 men from nking steamship Kentucky.

This time, with a loss variously estimated at $750,000 and $1,000,000. There was no loss of life, but frequent explosions from 1,200 cases of gasoline, 1,000 cases of benzine, 500 gallons of turpentine and large auantities of alcohol made the work of the firemen highly peril- ous. Major Edward Wolfe, in com- mand, was badly singed in one explos- ion and but for the timely arrival of @ hook and ladder comrany would have been burned to death. The cause of the fire is not known. Fully as serlous as the monetary loss to the government is the incon- venience caused to the sanitary de- partment of the Panama canal com- mission. A consignment of medical supplies to the canal zone valued at $10,000, packed and,ready for ship- ment, was among thé goods destroyed and it is feared a serious shortage on the isthmus will arise. The only other similar_supply department is at St Louis, Mo. “The high pressure water service, al- though it finally flooded out the fire and saved other nearby downtown property, worked sad havoc in the ad- jacent property.

New Haven, Conn., Feb. 4 —Although the report is fully confirmed that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company will assent to the increase of westward freight rates from 69 cents to 75 cents a hundred pounds, the danger of a trunk line dispute is not yet fully averted. The obstacle is the Grand Trunk company. which thus far has” refused ‘to assent to an in- crease of jts rates via New London from 65 to 70 cents as demanded by the standard trunk lines. A confer- ence of the representatives of the in- terested companies s to be held in a fow days to settle the matter, if pos- sible. If @ settlement is reached the main loss in business will fall upon the On— tario and Western and its New York Central connections westward. As an offset to its own concession the New Haven will have opportunity to estab- lish new business via its sound ports, Providence and Fall River, where it will be allowed a rate as low as that of the Grand Trunk.
