WASHINGTON. Jan. .-Abandonment
( th pros ram (or two battleehipa this
year brought out a statement from Secre
tary of tbt Navy Meyer .today. The
actloa of the democratic caucus last night
also' caused activity In the democratic I
ranks In congress, with the result that
another caucus to reconsider the matater
probably will be called.
Secretary Stayer arraigned the action
of the caucus as "giving another Illus
tration of government by snap Judgment."
Ha asserted that toe Monroe doctrine
la as big as the navy and no bigger and
that tna United States, guaranteeing the
neutrality of the Panama canal, must bs
prepared to make good Ita pledge.
"Even with a continuous program of
two battles hi pe a year." said Secretary
Meyer, "the United estates will fall a
little behind Its present effective strength
for the reason that In another year four
of our battleships, built during the same
period, will become non-effective.
"The dread naught type Is tha warship
of the Present dsy. One dreadnaught
built by a foreign power In excess of
tha number built by ourselrts la equiva
lent to wiping off our Hat at one stroke
tha "Indiana, Massachusetts, Oregon,
Iowa. Kearsarga and Kentucky. .
V "We have an enormous extent of coast
line; wa have Alaska, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and Hawaii, and we have the
obligation to guard and protect Cuba and
maintain Its neutrality. To perform these
obligations satisfactorily we must have
a atrong sea-going fleet. The only sura
defense of lha country and the only as
surance of safety la for the fleet to be
able to seek out Hi enemy on tha high
seas and to cripple or destroy It."
England, the statement declares, has au
thorised for the coming year five dread-
noughts and Germany three dreadnoughts
and one armored cruiser. Japan la said
to have authorised five ships of the lat
est dreadnought type and tha use of 17.-
Oo,"0 for new construction between mi
and 117. .

in return, Mr. Yeiser begs to Inform
Mr. Norrts that the Roosevelt band

that the time to get aboard Is right now
Delays, says Mr. Yeleer, are dangerous.
and It may be that Congressman Norrls
will find himself lonesome when the vehi

that the Roosevelt men are realty anxious
to get behind a candidate f ir the Inlted
States senstorshln, and, aa Brown Is out
spoken for Tart, and Norrls Is equally
committed to I.a Follette, It will perhaps
be necessary for them to put the third
candidate In the field. .
In this connection, Mr. Yeiser says Dial
he has been In correspondence with
Alexander H. Revel of Chicago, wh-j Is
chairman of the committee having in
charge the nationalising of the Roosevelt
movement. He has been aaked to come
Into Chicago for a conference on Feb

long time after that Interview with you
and Marse Henry at the Manhattan club.
It cams sver me that when (at the close
of the Interview) you asked me lhal ques
tion about tha weekly. I answered :t
simply as a matter of fact and sf business
and never ssld a word of my sincere
gratitude to you for all your generous
support, or of my hope that It might be
continued. Forgive me and forget my
manners Faithfully yours.

In reply Colonel Harvey wrote to Gov
ernor Wilson as follows:
"My Dear Governor Wilson: Replying
to your note from the University club.
I think It should go without saying that
no purely personal Issue could arise be
tween you and me. Whatever anybody
alas may surmise, you sorely must know
that, In trying to arouse further your po
litical aspirations during the last few
years I hare been actuated solely by the
belief thai i waa rendering a distinct
public sanies. v . .
"The real point at Ihe time sf our hi-
tarvle waa, aa ysu aptly put II. one sim
ply -of ad. and l smieso and- when -roo
stated the fact ta be thai my sup
port was hurting your candidacy ami
thai you wen experiencing difficulty In
finding a wsy to counteract Its harmful
affect, Ihe only thing poaatbl for me to
do In simple fairness to you, no Ies4
than In consideration of my own self
respect, waa to relieve you of your em
barrassment, so far as It lay within my
power to do so, by ceasing to advocate
your nomination.
"That I think was fully understood be
tween us at the lime, and, acting accord
ingly, I took down your name from tha
head or tha Weekly's editorial page some
dsys before your letter was written.
That seems to be all there Is of It.
"Whatever Utile hurt I may have felt
aa a consequence of tho peremptorlnees
of your attitude toward me Is. of course,
wholly" eliminated by your gracious words.
Very truly yours,

Oovemor Wilson replied under data of
January II, aa follows:
"My Dear Colonel Haxvey-Oeneroua
and cordial as was your letter written In
reply to my note from tbs University
club. It has left me uneasy, because. In
ita perfect frankness. It shows that I did
hurt yon by what I so tactlessly said at
tha Knickerbocker club. I am very much
ashamed of mysdf. for tilers la nothing
I am more ashamed of than hurting a'
true friend, however unintentional the
hurt may have been. I wanted very much'
to aes you In Washington, but was sbao-,
lutely captured by callers every minute I
was In my rooms, and when I was not
there, was fulfilling publks engagements.
I saw yon at the dinner, but could not get
at you, and after the dinner was sur
rounded and prevented from getting at
you. I am la town today to speak this '
evening and rams in early la tbs hope of
catching you at your office.
"For I owa It to you and to my own

myself to be Hum you have); how I have
admired you for tha Independence and un

your coarse, and bow faj I wss from de
