He isays it is no exaggeration to de clare that at no previous period of human industry has each prosperity been known in any country. Every body in America is making money and in such piles that the ordinary standard of comfort and luxury are being replaced by new ideals.

"If Myendorff made such an affidavit he must have been indulging in v pipe dreams. I was informed that Sena tor Clark never saw the man and nev er had any communication with him oral or written. "As for myself, I never knew that such a man as Special Agent Meyen dorff existed until some time late in 1903, or in 1904, when I received a letter from him saying that he wish ed to see me. "In accordance with the request, I some months afterward informed him that I expected to be in Denver a few days later, sending h5m the date. He called at my hotel and asked that I help to get him promotion in the consular service. "He appealed strongly to my sym pathy and I consented to mention his name to his superiors. He then vol unteered the information that he had a lot of irregular and illegal coai claim cases made by parties in Colo rado for rand in Wyoming, said to be in the interest of the Union Pacific Coal Company. He asked my advice how to proceed. I suggested that he follow the law and his instructions. "On a later occasion Meyendorff again called on me and requested my assistance. I think he called on me once afterward in my committee room in Washington, but I had no conversa tion with him.
