Senator Tillman Says Both Bonaparte
and Meyer Are
TEDDY'S BOOTLICKS.

a Conspiracy With tin* Pnvsidcut

Washington, .Ian. 11.?With tho
avowed intention of "placing both Attorney
(ionoral Bonaparte and I'ost11
aster Clonoral Mover in the Ananias
Cluh," Senator Tillman today addressed
the senate. He alternated
between acrid denunciation of these
two members of tho president's cabinet
and ridicule, which he hurled
:it t bom
Mr. Tillman said it was not pleasant
fur liitn to intrude his personality
upon the attention of the senate.
"1 have enough notoriety .already,"
declared Mr. Tillman, "and I am not
anxious to advertise myself, but th?
senate knows the provocation I am
under, and 1 trust will bear with
me."
Speaking of the differences of recollection
between himself and Attorney
(Jeneral Bonaparte, he declared
:
"1 am ready to have my word put
against his in any court in Christendom
and to let my record in t
past for thrtithfullness, honesty and
integrity stand against his.'
He asserted that he was not oniy
dealing with President Roosevelt,
"but with all the cabinet officers who
are in league, because according to
the newspapers they are discussing
me at cabinet meetings and are determined
to accomplish my ruin if
possible."
"When 1 deal with as unscrupulous
men as 1 do now, 1 am prepared
for anything, even the assassin's
knife. My mail is being held
III). I am Kntisfinrt <?f t ti 'i t i "'Hi
not say my room has boon broken
into because there are keys that can
open everything in this capita'..
They may not have stolen my papers,
hut they are gone."
Mr. Tillman then narrated a conversation
he had over the telephone
yesterday with Attorney General Itonaparte,
in which he asked whether
a suit had been brought against the
Southern Oregon Company, the holder
of the military road grant. "He
did not know," said Mr. Tillman.
"There had been some correspondence
and a discussion back and
forth as to the method that should
he pursued by the special counsel,'
he said. "I pressed him for an immediate
answer, yes or no. He said
response to the order of congress to
bring suit.
Mr. Tillman referred to the mohe
would make inquiry of the clerk
charged with that business and let
me know. In the course of a few
minr.w-s he returned to the 'phone
and said he would write mo a letter."
Alter having the letter of the Attorney
General read, ho declared that i
np to this time, and after nine
months nothing had been done :n
tivo of the Attorney General. "We
all know how slow the processes of
the law are, especially against
millionaires. We all know the process
of being 'ready to do it,' of
being 'anxious to do it.'"
ti" referred to Post master General
Meyer and his statement that the
president had been in possession of
the facts in this case only since December
18th and characterized that
as falsehood Number 1."
Mr. Tillman announced ho had
received another circular sent out
by Dorr, in which the following
statement was made:
"Some day I shall have justice and
reparation, and when that day comes,
now not far distant, there will oe
a noise that will be heard around
the world." That statement. by
Dorr, Mr. Tillman insisted, was con
elusive proof that Dorr had received
assurance from the president
that he would "drag Tillman down
as a liar and scouudrol."
lie wanted to know what degree
of falsehood was to be charged to
the two cabinet officers "or heal
clerks or bootlicks or whatever the
president has around him." M".
# Tillman laid stress upon the fact
that he had not attempted to obtain
any government land, but only to
purchase land that had boon given
a corporation with the stipulation
that that corporation should sell it
to t lie public at $2.f>0 per acre.
He Insisted that he was entitled
to a full investigation of these
charges and to a report, as he did
not wish to rest under the imputations
that had been cast upon him.
If no report should be made lie sail
the impression would go abroad that
the senate had whitewashed him and
that ho was guilty of some wrongdoing
which he did not wish to rest
under.
All men were born free of incum- '
branccs and equal to any amount of
foolishness.

A utlioritioN.
Washington, Jan 14.?In addition
to what has already been published
relative ts tin- matter of the Oregon
land frauds, Senator Tillman said
vest erday:
"Bonaparte confesses it was he
who took the inPiative in this mat but
his attempt to reply satisfactorily.
as to why prosecution of
'he suit in question was not had
>iill remains vague. I cannot unlerstaiul
why the attorney general's
memory served hi in so well in recalling
what 1 said to him personally,
ind so poorly when it comes to the
real meaning of the senate resolution
that was placed before him in
tin* shape of an official document, re
quiring official action."
Senator Tillman is indignant at
tlio manner in which he claims his
mail h;is been handled at the Washington
postolllce. Ho received a
telegram to lay from N< w York signed
hv W. Williams. Figures indicate
that it was sent at 10 o'clock
last night and received here tit 1 2: 21?
h'olock this morning. The telegram
roads tis follows:
"Watch for special delivery letter.
vr?ry important inquiry, requires
answer."
At noon today the letter had not
been delivered. The senator announced
that he will call the attention
of the senate today to the manner
in which lie charges that his
mail is held up tu the postoflioe, and
asserts that it is being tampered
with.
He says that several letters which
he franked recently have been returnd
to him opened from the dead
letter ofllre.
Information received at the postoflice
department today shows that
Senator Tillman is the only senator
who has had a franked typewriter
held up for jKistage There are,
however, at least five typewriters

Washington. .Ian. 111.?Immediately
following Senator Tillman's vigorous
attack upon President Roosevelt
in the senate yesterday, the
senator inaugurated a campaign of
"purification" in regard to the White
I louse.
Since the president's attack the
senator has received much correspondence
expressing sympathy and
volunteering much information,
which will serve materially in the
foundation which the senator has
laid in his campaign, as he announced
in his speech yesterday, that he
was determined to "show up" the
president in what he t,.rnwwi '
his "two-lights." Ho has already
gathered a sutr.cioney of data, it is
understood, to start with, and sonic
interesting developments may lie
looked for as regards the political
relationship of these two strenuous
politicians. It. is understood that
the postollice and its methods is one
of the targets at which the senator
is to aim his pitchfork.

Night lliders Posted.
What caused probably more excitement
in tho neighborhood were
"night rider" posters tacked up on
trees and buildings all through the
neighborhood. These posters were
tacked tip on Monday night. One of
the members of the coroner's jury
found one of them tacked on the
front door of his house on Tuesday
and another found several stuffed
in his mail box. The posters are
written on plain note paper, and
are decorated at the top with what
purports to be a rising sun. with the
word "Notice" in the centre of the
sun. While, of course, they were
only intended as a bluff, which a
thorough investigation disclosed,
they caused quite a great deal of
alarm in tlie community. Several
of them were brought, to the city
and were shown on tiie streets today.
A copy of one follows:
"Notice.
"We night riders, the one Arthur
Davis, colored, was killed on last
Thursday night by a band of a2
men. which lias sworn to protec*
their country, and we here further
say that if there is any white
brought up in that tiling, we will
make ea"h end every juror, magistrate
and witness suffer the same as
Arthur Davis did, for rape on a
white lady."

gentleman from Ilvmanvillo, who is
well acquainted with all tlie facts
of the case, and lie corroborated in
every detail facts as set out above.
He further stated that there was absolutely
no ground for the statement
that the negro had been lynched for
rape.
This crime is one of the most brutal
in the history of the State. It
will be recalled by the readers of
Monday's State that the negro was
taken from his home tit night and
after being stripped was severely
beaten with buggy whips and sticks
studded with long sharpe thorns.
So far the accused men have mad?
no move to get counsel, but it is
expected that they will employ counsel
in a few days and make an eflort
to regain their liberty.

divine service today, an ancient
church near Sion suddenly collapsed,
burying the worshippers In the ruins.
Practically all tho members of the
congregation were kiiied or injured.
A wild panic followed, those who escaped
rushing through the fields
shouting that an earthquake had overtaken
the village. Other villagers
joined In the outcry and were with
difficulty calmed.
After n hour's exertions the fire
company of the place extricated forty
corpses, hut it is believed ilia'
there tire still a number under the

That He wus Cheated Out of

Springfield, 111., Jan. 13.?The]
legislative deadlock was broken today
when the senate concluded to
sit with the house for a canvas of
election returns.
Inaccuracies in all but nine of the
102 counties in Illinois, in counting
the vote for governor at the November
election, are charged in the p ?
'ition for a recount made to the
general assembly by Adiai E. Stevenson.
Democratic candidate for governor.
An approximate total of 50,000
votes more than are shown by th1
election returns is claimed by Mr
Stevenson in his petition to the general
assembly today. In the ill
counties cited l?v the petition as
showing irregularities, 65 are alleged
to have made wrong returns
by the alleged simple means of
counting for Denoen votes wliicn
were cast for Stevenson.
In 2X others, it is charged, in adlition,
either that persons not naturalized
or persons not residents of
the county, or both, voted for CIovernor
Charles S. Denoen, and in each
of 2S counties miscounting of votes
pronerlv cast also t*
The county which appears from
the petition to have countenance.1
the greatest amount of illegality cf
all sorts is Cook (Chicago), although
extensive frauds also are
charged in other counties.
SI) NATO It TILLMAN'S SI'KKC'll.
He Was Applauded as lie Kntored
the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 12.?There was
such pressure for seats on the part
of the senator's families in anticipation
of Senator Tillman's speech,
that the private senatorial gallery
was opened at 10 o'clock and tiecrowd
poured in. The public galleries
were opened an hour earlier
The throng was dense and the rush
so strong that women screamed an 1
many of them had their wraps torn.
Probably not one-fifth of the crow.',
in the corridors found seats in the
galleries.
The appearance of Senator Tillman
in the Senate chamber a few minutes
before 12 gave the galleries an
opportunity for a demonstration of
hand-clapping. The reading of the
journal was dispensed with when
Tillman began his speech. The galleries
indulged in no outbreak, although
there were occasional sup1WOOO../1

i/ir.-fliu kiiikiiht, until Tinman declared
that tin* president had placet
him in the Ananias club.
Peals of laughter were called forth
when Tillman declared he had not
known that the "executives hide"
had been so greatly stung by darts
he had sent at him at various times
in the senate. When he suggested
that doubtless the president "llelieved
that the pitchfork had gone
out of business," another outburst
of laughter followed from the galleries.
Tillman kept closely to his manuscript
as he preceded except when
ho referred to I landman as "The
president's dear friend" who held 2.neo.ouo
acres of land In question,
he looked over his eye glasses and
glaneing around the chamber added:
"Possibly relations are not so intimate
now, but I speak of what relation
used to be."

Washington, Jan. 12.?The unwritten
diplomatic rule, which prevented
the representatives of foreign
powers from attending a congressional
session, when an attack on
the president was heralded was shattered
yesterday on the occasion of
Senator Tillman's speech. The State
department has heen Hooded with
requests for cards never before demanded.
Interest in the present
situation is apparently so intens1
in the diplomatic coterie that no regard
is retained for the old rule.
