Washington, Feb. 22. Represen
tative Rnlnoy, of Illinois, today de
clared on the floor of tho house that

transactions there. Ho added that he
was as good a friend of the projeot
a i tho President has ever beon.
Ralney denied tho charges that ho
had been getting his information on
tho Panama canal scandal from ex

scored President Roosovelt for at
tacking him iii a letter written to

A donso fog clouded tho soa oarJy

permitted thoso on shoro to obtain
glimpses of black columns of omoko
f loin more than a score of funnel
which marked tho approach of the
groatost armod floet ovor gathorel
undor an American flag.
By 8:30 a floot of nowspapor boat
and plensuro craft started to msec
the Mayflower and the floot. Boforo
tho flagship Conuoctlcut could como
within sight of tho Mnyflowor, Roar
Admiral Sporry ordorcd slnglo col
umn formation, nnd this wns held un
til tho rovlow was ovor.
With tho first sharp roport of th
forward starboard 'eight-Inch rlflo of
tho Connecticut n din of firing began
that lasted for moro than 30 minutes
ISvon though smokeless powdor was
used In tho saluting, tho slight puffs
from tho muzzlos of tho'rlflos raised
a thin hazo that partially obscured
tho view of tho vcssols at tho end of
tho column.
As tho last ship of tho welcome
squadron passed tho Mayflower prl

Ashoro, ono of tho lronios of tho
occasion was tho prosonco of Roar
Admiral Bronson, who ns ohlof of tho

a year ngo, ovor placing hospital
Bhlps undor tho command of sur

around tho world.
Rear Admiral Sporry, his division
officers and tho captains of tho fleet
camo aboard tho Mayflower shortly
after tho fleot's anchors wore lot go
in tho waters of Hampton Roads.
The president addressed thorn In
typical words of welcome, and whon
ho visited tho ships of tho fleot ad
dressed substantially tho same words
to tho offlcors and men of tho ves
sels. Tho presldont began by referring
to tho passage of time since tho fleot
sailed on its long cruise and told
them how tho hearts of all filled
with pride as thoy saw the fleot re
turn. Roosvelt said:
"You'vo beon In the northern and
southern homisphorcs. Four times
you'vo crossed tho lino. You'vo
steamed through all great oceans nnd
touched tho coast of ovory continent.
Ever your goncrnl courso has boon

tho port from which you set sail. This
Is tho first battleship fleot that has
ovor circumnavigated tho globo.
"You havo fnlslflod ovory predic

"Incldontally I supposo I need
hardly say that ono inoasuro of your

"Wo'ro proud of nil tho ships and
