ed stated that he had been suspicious of
Mr. Bailey. He read the parts of ih<
correspondent's letter which Mr. Bailey
had omitted and then proceeded with his
statement, saying:
"This correspondent is undoubtedly .
muck rak«\ Into whoso house the handl
gor-s or what handle holds it I will not
attempt to say.''
He said he counted eight distinct false-
hoods in the article, but ho desired to ad-
dress himself first to a denial that lie
had ever been suspicious of Mr. Bailey.
He declared his great esteem and admir-
ation lor the Texas Senator anil said
that cordial relations had always existed.
Articles of this character were being
sent broadcast over the country, said Mr.
Tillman, at the instance of the Republi-
can machine to "befuddle" the situation.
viS *^2 Kta^em°^t by Attorney General
Moony that he could see no hope for an
agreement on any amendment unless it
was drawn by the Senators themselves,
Senator Tillman said that was an adroit
el tort to give color to the President's re-
treat behind the Allison amendment.
Tho Truth
as to Who Lied.
"I do not care to pursue this subject
any further," said Senator Tillman, "but
that future historians may be able to
get at the truth as to who lied, I shall
make another contribution."
He then had n ad the letter sent him
today by former Senator Chandler in re -
sponse to Senator Lodge's denial for the
I resident of Senator Chandler's former
statement.
When Senator Tillman concluded Mr
Bailey again took the floor and said that
his attention had been called to another
article printed in the New York Tribune
today. He said it was of the same char-
acter as that printed by the Chicago Tri-
bune. and that evidently thev had been
timed to bring them both to Washington
flt the same time. Pointing to the press
gallery, he said:
"I intend to put in the Record the
statement of more than one reputable
newspaper correspondent In that gallery,
and as a rule they arc as honorable arf*
Senators on this floor, and on their au-
thority I state that the two chief cuckoos
of this Administration are the cor-
respondents of the New York and Chi-
cago Tribunes. And, therefore, it seems
to me conclusive that this slander pro-
ceeds from the White House. I hope, for
the honor of mv country, that it does not
proceed from the President himself.
Demands Removal
sent to the Senate through Senator
Lodge remains in the Congressional
Record of May 12, it seems to me that I
should take gome notice of it, which I
do now by reaffirming the essential
truth of the statement I made to you
and which you repeated in the Senate.
Much as I regret that the hasty action
of Senator Lodge and the President has
forced an issue between the President
and myself, the extreme language he
uses makes such issue unavoidable and
I cannot shrink from or evade it, al-
though 1 cannot use toward the chief
executive of the Nation language like
his own. I pon our respective state-
ments 1 submit the controversy with
confidence to the judgment of those wiio
know me. \
"For those who do not know me there
is fortunately circumstantial evidence of
a high order which shows that the
President could not have omitted to
make in substance the statement which
he denies. Nor could he have then made
the whole statement which he now sub-
stitutes. His impulsiveness has led him
into serious error upon a point of no im-
portance In itself, but only as affecting
his attack upon me. 1 give to you a
further statement as follows;

the President summoned l
letter from Mr. Loch, and
him to express his object.
of Author of Slander.
Rut if he be a man of high sense of
honor ho will see to it that Senators are
not slandered by his subordinates and by
tho miserable wretch who communicated
to these newspapers, and who sought
through them to communicate to the
country a slander on me which people
might discuss, rather than the issues that
have been raised. He is unfit for his
high office unless the man who perpe-
trated that infamy will pay for it with
his position; and if the man continues to
hold his office it is to be assumed that
what he has done has been with the ap-
proval of the chief."
No reply was made and this closed the
Incident.

Tillman and Bailey on the railroad rate

Lodge's denial for the President of Mr.

1 waited for
It was un-
mistakably stated that he wished to
communicate with Mr. Tillman and
other Democrats for the purpose of se-
curing the adoption in the railroad rate
11 of a review clause, limiting the in-
quiry to the question whether the Com-
mission had exceeded its authority or
had violated the constitutional rights of
the carrier.
*'l knew, and he knew, that it was im-
possible for him to open conferences with
Mr. Tillman unless he was fully sat's-
fied that the president had absolutely
given up all intention of coming to an
agreement with the Senators who had
been making the contest for an un-
limited court review, and in stating his
object he said that he had parted from
them finally, naming Senators Knox,
Foraker and Spooner as the Senators
who had made the arguments in the
Senate to sustain that view, and he
used as nearly as 1 can recollect, the
language given in my statement re-
peated by Mr. Tillman.
Republicans
Could Not Be Relied Upon.
"The conversation Included the un-
derstanding which he had that day
reached with Senators Long and Alli-
son, the fact that not over one-third of
the Republican Senators could be relied
upon for a limited court review, and
that it was vital that the support of
nearly all the Democrats should be ob-
tained,
"When, an hour later, I visited Mr.
Tillman and told him my mission from
the President, I found him distrustful
and suspicious. He questioned me closely
as to what the President had said, anil
1 related to him as accurately as I could
the statement made by the President to
me, and 1 convinced him that the Presi-
dent had ceased to hope for compromise
with the Senators named and the other
advocates of an unlimited court review.
When satisfied that this was the ease
he readily consented to co-operate with
the President, and said that he would
see Senator Bailey and report to me the
result, which he did, saying that there
would be perfect accord on the limita-
tion of the right, of review if carried
forward in connection with a limitation
of the right to issue ex-parte injunctions.
Conferences
Resulted in Understanding.
"The conferences thus begun were, on
the 15th. at my suggestion, transferred
to Attorney General Moody and at once
resulted in an understanding that the
effort would be made to extend the right
of court review as stated in the Long
amendment and in the paper drawn up
on April Iti by Mr. Moody, and later per-
fected by Messrs. Moody, Tillman and
Bailey. Was it not natural and essential
that the President should have satisfied
me that he had finally separated on tho
question of tho court review from the
Senators who were the principal oppon-
ents of any limitation of that review,
which they believed would be unconstitu-
tional, and that I should have repeated
his statements to Mr. Tillman? Is it
possible that I went directly that night
to Senator Tillman at the Colonial Hotel
and poured into his ears a deliberate and
unqualified falsehood?
"Consider next tho statement which
the President says he thinks he made
instead of the one narrated by me. Sena-
tor Foraker, he says, was not mentioned.
T am quite sure he is mistaken. Sena-
tors Knox and Spooner, he says, were
mentioned, but that all that was said
about them was, as to Senator Knox,
that the President did not agree with
portion of his proposed amendment, but
that he made a strong argument for
asserting firmly tho jurisdiction or au
thorlty of the court; and as to Senator
Spooner, that his name was only men-
tioned by him to express a cordial ap-
proval of Senator Spooner's amendment.
As to the
Spooner Amendment.
"This Spooner amendment was not pro
posed in the Senate until May 10, but I
learn that it had been in existence and
shown to the President, whether as early
as March 31 does not appear. But this
is certain: That if the President had on
that night told me that he cordially ap-
proved of it, and I had so reported to
Mr. Tillman, there would not have en-
sued conferences looking to co-operation;
therefore, the President, as to that
amendment, had in mind a conversation
at some other time or with somo other
person.
"It should also be borne in mind that
the report I made to Mr. Tillman of the
President's conversation is entirely
harmless. Here it is.
"He said that ho had been much trou-
bled by the advocacy of an unlimited
court review by some lawyers of the
Senate, naming Senators Knox, Spooner
and Foraker, as trying to injure or de-
feat the bill by ingenious Constitutional
arguments, but that he had come to a
compute disagreement with them.
Words
Were Not Offensive.
"What Is there in the above words that
is untrue or should give grave of fen So
to the Senators named? They were the
great Constitutional lawyers of the Sen-
ate, making ingenious arguments against
any limitation of court review, and they
were troublesome and likely to be trou-
blesome in any attempt to carry the
Long-Moody limitation through the Sen-
ate by the votes of twenty-five or more
Democrats and twenty or less Repub-
licans. What harm was there in the
President's saying that lie had come to a
final disagreement with them on the day
when he had held a White House con-
ference wUh a view to uniting Demo-
cratic and Republican forces in carrying
limitation or court review amendment
then and there agreed upon? He could
say it in or out of their presence without
giving offense to them. Nor was it a
very strong expression to say that they
are trying to injure or defeat the bill by
ingenious Constitutional arguments. It
did not mean that they were trying to
defeat the bill if it could bo amended to
meet their views. Mr. Knor had de-
clared it to be unconstitutional unless
amended, and that was the general posi-
tion of the opponents of the limited court
review which led the President on that
day to conclude it would ^>e best to ex-
pressly grant the jurisdiction to review,
but to rigidly l^mlt it to the two objects
named. The only harm that I can see
that has come in the whole business was
the abandonment of any attempt to carry
that limitation of the review without any
previous notice to Senators Tillman and
Bailey.
"On the whole, perhaps I ought to con-
sider myself fortunate. If the old im-
perialist days had been fully revived at
the White House one whom I consider

Special Telegram to The Kxpress.
WASHINGTON, May 1» -That portion
of the long dispatch from the Washing-
ton correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune which relates directly to Senator
Bailey and which he denounced today, is
as follows:
"It is a fact, however, there is docu-
mentary proof of this which has not yet
been produced, but which is none the
less In existence, as I know, that Sen-
ator Tillman could not control his own
party because he could not control the
real party leader in the Senate, Joe
Bailey of Texas. It was Senator Bailey
who stftod in the way of an agreement,
and Senator Tillman was suspicious of
him, and said so in so many words to
Senator Chandler. It was Mr. Chandler
who brought to the White House the
statement that Senator Bailey had de-
vised Ills extraordinary amendment pro-
hibiting the lower courts of the United
States exercising the right to issue in-
terlocutory orders for the solo purpose
of defeating the railroad bill. It was
Mr. Chandler who vouched for the state-
ment that Senator Tillman was sus-
P'cious of Senator Bailey, that he be-
lieved Senator Bailey was treacherous
and did not want a rate bill to be passed
at all, or if passed, hoped to have in-
serted in it some amendment waie'i
would be fatal to its constitutionality
and which would destroy its effective-
ness.
"The story was told as coming from
Senator Tillman that Senator Bailey was
not honestly in favor of the rate bill,
and that he would have opposed it
openly if lie were not afraid it would
cost him his seat in the Senate* as the
Texas people are not fond of statesmen
who defend railroads or any other of
the octopus class.
"I think I am safe in saying that
former Senator Chandler wrote to a dis-
tinguished member of the Administration
that he and Senator Tillman were both
suspicious of Senator Bailey, and that
this letter undoubtedly was shown to
President Roosevelt himself. In per-
sonal conversation the tferd was carried
from the Tillman camp that Senator
Bailey was suspected of holding secret
conferences with Mr. Aldrkh himself,
and by skillful support of his anti-in
junction amendment. Senator Bailey
tentionally had split, up the Democratic
caucus and had managed things so tha
Mr. Tillman could not deliver anytliin,
like the unanimous Democratic vote for
anything at all, no matter whether ap
proved by the Administration or not
That Senator Bailey was under sus
picion by Senator Tillman and other
prominent Democrats is positively
known. That there was ground to be
lieve that he or other Democrats were
conference with Senator Aldrich al
most all the time nnd that they were
being tempted to unite with the Aldricl
crowd to 'down the President* is sus
ceptible of proof, if the distinguished
people interested shall see fit to produce
tho documents."

The head of the order said that because

WASHL\ ITON, May 1G.—The recent
efforts of tn« President and the Demo-
cratic Senatorial 1 iders to reach an
agreement on the r. to bill received fur-
ther notice in the Senate today from
•Senator Bailey and Tillman. The mat-
ter was referred to by the Texas Sen-
ator in the course of a personal explana-
tion called out by an article in the Chi-
cago Tribune charging Mr. Bailey with
failure to find common ground, and by
Mr. Tillman in a speech in support of
Mr. Bailey and in presenting a further
statement from forme* Senator Chandler.
In his address Mr. Bailey denounced
tho article in question as a "lie" and the
author and inspirer of it as "liars."
There was also a sharp colloquy be-
tween Senators Daniels and Tillman
over an amendment to the anti-pass pro-
vision.
The consideration of the rate bill in
committee of the whole was concluded,
and the measure was then reported to
tho Senate, where tnere will be oppor-
tunity to review and alter the amend-
ments heretofore made.
Practically the entire day was devoted
to the eons id < ration of the anti-pass
amendment, which was adopted after
making so many exceptions as to arouse
laughter in the Senate every time the
provision was read.
The work of the Senate, as such, was
confined to the partial consideration of
the pipo line provision which was so
amended as to strike out the Morgan
proviso extending its operation to other
countries where tno United States had
jurisdiction.
The Senate will convene tomorrow at

Advocates of Disarmament and Arbi

in the House.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—The naval
appropriation bill carrying nearly S100,-
000,000 was completed today in the House
after one of tha busiest days of the pres-
ent Congress.
The featuro of tho day's debate grew
out of the attempt to defeat the approp-
riation for the largest battleship of its
class ill the world, and the tenor of the
speeches for the big ship was that the
American Republic must be abreast of
the Nations of the world In the strength
of her navy.
The opponents talked for peace, dis-
armament and arbitration, and Insisted
there was no National need of such a
large navy.
The amendment introduced by Mr.
Burton (Ohio) to strike out the appropri-
ation for a rival to the English ship
Dreadnaught was defeated, as was the
amendment leaving the construction of
the battleship to the discretion of the

of the Senate Committee on Interoceanic
Canals is in favor of a sea level canal

NEW YORK, May 16.—A cable dispatch
to tho Herald from Cagliari, Sardinia,
says:
Several persons were killed and many
wounded in a collision between troops
and strikers here yesterday, and further
trouble is expected. Reinforcements of
the small garrison have been urgently
demanded and warships with troops have
left Genoa and Leghorn.
Trouble began Monday as the culmin-
ation of a great increase in the price of
food, the anarchistic agitators leading
the workmen to strike. Thousands of
men marched to the State tobacco manu-
factory and to other establishments,
forcing the workmen to strike, smashing
windows of shops and upsetting street
cars and cabs.
There was another and more serious
demonstration yesterday. Preceded by a
woman bearing the red flag with a large
leaf of bread on top of the staff, a
parade of strikers was formed and
passed in front of tho Mayor's house,
demanding his resignation. Next they
went to the rail\*giy station, which was
guarded by troops, whom they proceeded
to stone. The soldiers stood their ground
without firing until the. Colonel. Count
Ponza di San Martino, and Captain Gan-
dlnl had both been injured by rue mis-
siles and twenty-five of the tloops were
seriously wounded. Then ther? was
scattering fusillade from the sol l*evs and
the. crowd fled in panic, leaving torty
two of its number lying wounded in the
street. Of these two died bef ire reach-
ing the hospital; four are dying and
eleven are in a dangerous condition. All
the shops are closed, no newspaper has
appeared and the suspension cf work js
general.
LOOKING FOR A SPLIT.
Eituminous Operators Expect Weak-
ness to Develop In Miners' Ranks.
CHICAGO, 111., May 16.—Coal men arc
looking for a split to develop in the
Miners' Union tomorrow, when operators
and strikers meet at Springfield in the
first conference held since the strike was
called, six weeks ago. The division is
expected to arise over difference regard-
ing the wisdom of President Mitchell's
move In settling the anthracite strike,
while the bituminous minors are left to
fight the battle alone.
The operators do not expect the anti-
striko sentiment will prove strong enough
to bring about a speedy settlement. They
believe, however, that a faction of the
strikers will manifest a desire to submit
the whole controversy to arbitration,
which the mine owners have been urging
for a long time. Whatever comes out
of the meeting, the mine owners have
decided not to delay longer in reopening
their mines. The stock of coal in Chi-
cago is reported to be nearly exhausted.
The operators assert that they will be
compelled to begin operations by June 1
or lose many of tho chief markets.

S.g.S. PUMlYVEtJABU
The fact that S. S. S. is a purely vegetable preparation, containing not
the Blightest trace of mineral in any form, has been one of the strongest
points in its favor during its forty years of existence. It is recognized
everywhere not only as the best of all blood purifiers, but the one medicine
that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest
member of the family. Next in importance to removing the cause of any
disease is the condition in which the system is left after a course of medical
treatment. Medicines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral
Ingredients often do permanent injury by eating out the delicate lining and
tissues of the stomach, producing chronic dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting
the bowels and so damaging the system that even if the original cause of
the disease has been removed, it is left in
such a deranged and weakened condition that <5 | QQQ REWARD

entirely of roots, herbs and barks it is absolutely

and health to every part of the body. S. S. S. removes all poisons, fr jshens
