Washington, April 22.—A small army of gardeners Is at work about the White House grounds putting the pretty green spot in condition for the annual Easter Monday egg rolling ceremonies. As was "decreed and carried out last year, no "grownups" will be admitted unless they are accompanied by children. The White House grounds wili be open from !D o'clock in the morning until 1 o'clock In the afternoon. The Marine band will not give a concert in the White House grounds as has been the custom, but will play on the "white lot or Eclipse, south of the White House grounds, during the afternoon. New York, April 22.—.laines Hazen Hyde has issued his letter in answer to the demand of thCagents that he resign from the society. He declares in it that the officers of the soeiet.v had tried to coerce hint first; that, failing in this, they tricked him: that they tried to put through a plan of niutualizatlon that would not have put the control of the company in the hands of the policyholders. hut would have put its control in the hands of unscrupulous persons who would control the agents. l'aris, April 22*—After a notable service of nearly eight years in the direction of foreign affairs Thepphiic Delensue informed President of the Connell Rouvier of his desire and intention to resign. This concession was Intended for the benefit of the policy holders, but in practical pffect, as f then feared and now believe, It was the purpose that any concessions by me .should he utilized for the benefit and account of the instigators of this movement, who proposed to erect a constituency of agents to control the votes of policy holders. This belief Is confirmed by the extraordinary proceedings at your recent meetings in this city. In which the power dominating the meetings was *|ultc apparent.

Governor Favors Mutualization, . but Says Courts Must Decide. The subject upon which you have addressed me involve? the consideration of (he whole unhappy controversy which has been In progress for several months past. The Injurious effect of that controversy upon your fortunes I appreciate, and I ca 11 well understand your strong desire to promote some action that will bring it to an end. In that controversy I feel that T have been treated with great Injustice and that no one has so serious cause for complaint as 1 have. So far as any good results could he served by the resignation of any officer responsible for the injury which the society has suffered and Is doubtless to suffer in the future, your request Is misdirected. Albany, N. Y., April 22.—The crisis ill the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society was laid before Governor Uiggins ;it the executive chamber by the committee of thirty-live of the mmmging agents of the society, which earlier in the day tit Syracuse had made Ihe same appeal, for mutualization of the society, to Superintendent Francis Hendricks of the state insurance department. The views of the agents were presented to the governor by Joseph Bowes, manager for the Equitable at Baltimore, s SENATOR O. II. PLATT Senator Piatt was born here on .llll.v 10, 1827. Proud of his strength and activity, it had been his ambition, so his friends say, of becoming the "father or the senate" in point of years, lie was the sou of Daniel Gold and Almyra Hitch coeli Piatt and a descendant of one of the first settlers of New Ilaven colony, lie studied law and was admitted to the Litchfield comity bar in 1811) and the next year opened an otlice in Towandn, Pa. He returned to Connecticut in-1851 and settled in Meriden, which was always his legal residence. He bad been in public life almost continuously from Ills election as judge of probate in 1S"D:( until his death, several times going to the general assembly. This change has been made in older to give every one, little and big, an opportunity to enjoy the music. The grounds of the president's house have been found altogether too small to accommodate all that would like to attend, so to enlarge the playgrounds for the eventful day the new order has been issued. Mrs. Roosevelt. Musses Alice and Ethel and Masters Archie and Quentin will probably spend a good deal of time on the big south veranda while the egg rolling Is In p rogress. ay Agents' Action Misguided. Coventor Higglus made very evident . his appreciation of the great seriousness of the situation in the Equitable society. His reply to the speeches was heard with an attention which it is no exaggeration to describe as strained, and when he concluded there was a burst of applause. // 111 view of the I have been willing to make for the welfare of the society. I reBent your misguided action, taken In utter Ignorance of the true situation, of which you cannot possibly have accurate knowledge. lour request, perhaps unwittingly on your part. Is merely another move in the campaign of attack originally devised. When the real facts are known to the policy holders 1 believe that all right minded men among them will be as Indignant as I am with the methods that have been employed by my enemies for their own ends, in pursuing which they have not hesitated to sacrifice the best Interests of the society and to disregard the proper protection of the policy holders. Your action. Instead of furnishing a solution of the present unfortunate situation, renders the dlffleulty more acute. It is regrettable that in this situation the convention of managers did not take advantage of its opportunity to become a factor lij promoting honorable DEATH OF JOHN KELLY Father ol' Judge Kelly, of Scranton Senator l'latt was first elected to the United States senate in 187!D to succeed Senator W. II. Barnum, a Democrat, who had been elected to till the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Orris S. Ferris, a Republican. His last re-election was in 190.'!. Passed Away This Morning at Ills m Home iu That City I realize fully," the governor began. John Kelly, father of Judge John 1*. Kelly and William Kelly, vice president of the Central Pennsylvania Brewing Co.. died this morning at ills home in Providence, Scranton. He had been ill for some time and his death was not unexpected. He was born iu County Down, Ireland, in 1832, and had been a resident of .Scranton since 1851. He was engaged in the brickmaking business for -nany yoaiS;. f "that tliiK is si very serious talk. I realize fully (hat the policy holders of this company have been letl to believe that it was mutual In its character. 1 would be triad to do tiny tiling wltliiu reason that 1 could do to bring about mufuallzation. But I desire to call to your attention the fact that difficulties that arise between citizens in the state of New York—very fortunately. I would nay, ralhei; than, unfortunately- cannot be settled by the governor nor by the legislature. Those Questions of difference have to be settled in this state by the courts." Senator Piatt was chairman of the committee on relations with Culm at the time the discussion respecting the attitude of the United States toward the .voting republic- was under consideration in congress. Out of the deliberations of the committee on the subject was Anally evolved a long declaration regarding Cuba, which was attached as an amendment to the army appropriation bill. This declaration was popularly denominated "the l'latt amend Fathor of Cuban Policy, A Choice Faster Present Free Every purchaser at our store from this day until Saturday night April 22 will receive,a choice Easter gift free.

On the subject of inutualiJSHtion he snrs: I can understand the desire of your body for mutuallzatlon. but 1 have never believed, and I do not now believe. that a system of control which virtually places the agents over the directors and officers Is sound In principle. At 1 he In conclusion the governor snirt Easter .Music. "I do not feel at the present moment that I can assure you as to whether the time will come in the immediate future when it will seem to me wise to communicate with the legislature and ask it to pass any particular bill in reference to the Equitable I.ife. hut. 1 cau say to you this with the utmost frankness and sincerity that at all times I nhall be interested more largely in the interests of the policy holders of the Ktjuitable Life Assurance society than 111 the interests of any other person or party connected with it. And If I come to the conclusion that I can further the interests of those policy holders—If 1 should eonie to that conclusion—yon can rest assured that 110 act will he left undone by me that will brine about better conditions for that society."

Albany, N. Y., April 22.—The crisis ill the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society was laid before Governor Uiggins ;it the executive chamber by the committee of thirty-live of the mmmging agents of the society, which earlier in the day tit Syracuse had made Ihe same appeal, for mutualization of the society, to Superintendent Francis Hendricks of the state insurance department. The views of the agents were presented to the governor by Joseph Bowes, manager for the Equitable at Baltimore, s SENATOR O. II. PLATT Senator Piatt was born here on .llll.v 10, 1827.

He returned to Connecticut in-1851 and settled in Meriden, which was always his legal residence. He bad been in public life almost continuously from Ills election as judge of probate in 1S"D:( until his death, several times going to the general assembly.

The grounds of the president's house have been found altogether too small to accommodate all that would like to attend, so to enlarge the playgrounds for the eventful day the new order has been issued.

His reply to the speeches was heard with an attention which it is no exaggeration to describe as strained, and when he concluded there was a burst of applause. // 111 view of the I have been willing to make for the welfare of the society.

Is merely another move in the campaign of attack originally devised. When the real facts are known to the policy holders 1 believe that all right minded men among them will be as Indignant as I am with the methods that have been employed by my enemies for their own ends, in pursuing which they have not hesitated to sacrifice the best Interests of the society and to disregard the proper protection of the policy holders. Your action. Instead of furnishing a solution of the present unfortunate situation, renders the dlffleulty more acute. It is regrettable that in this situation the convention of managers did not take advantage of its opportunity to become a factor lij promoting honorable DEATH OF JOHN KELLY Father ol' Judge Kelly, of Scranton Senator l'latt was first elected to the United States senate in 187!D to succeed Senator W.

Senator Piatt was chairman of the committee on relations with Culm at the time the discussion respecting the attitude of the United States toward the .voting republic- was under consideration in congress.
