REPLY TO PRESIDENT READ IN

Bailey Declares Newspaper Report
Concerning Him, Which He Believes
Emanated from White House At
tache, Is Malicious Lie.

A Washington, ID. c.. special says:
interest in the rate bill has been large
ly overshadowed the past few days
by the controversy between the presi-
dent and Senators Tillman and Bailey
and ex-senator Chandler, and We'd
nesday's developments have perhaps
never been surpassed in point OF dra-
matte setting and sensational state
ments. 1t is feared the charges of the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune printed Tuesday morn
ing, that Tillman expressed distrust Of
Bailey to Chandler, may not have been
warranted. 1t is claimed these ALE
cations were based upon verbal
statement OF the contents of a memo
randum prepared by Chandler. Bal
ley has a copy Of this memorandum
and those who have read 1t declare it
contains no language which indicates
that Tiliman regards Bailey with sus-
picion-
1t Is understood that Senator Bailey
will again rise to a question of person
al privilege and read the Chandler
memorandum referred to and follow
It with some remarks. 1T is said Bal
ley has his warpaint on and proposes
TO run the matter to the ground.
The Chandler letter to Tillman Is,
OF course, the sensation OF the session.
II is not however, believed the pres
ident will give further public atten-
ton 20 it
The matter was referred to We'd
nesday by the Texas senator in course
OF a personal article In the Chicago
Tribune attacking Senator Baileys
course on the rate bill, and by Senator
Tillman in speech in support of Sem
ator Bailey and In presenting fur
Their statement from former senator
Chandler.
In his address Senator Bailey de-
nounced the article in question as a

BATTLESHIP ASHORE.
The Rode Island Fast But Was
FIoated Last Night.

NORFOLK. ga, May THE Unit
ed States battleship Rhode Island was
foated last night after having been
aground at the mouth of the York riv-
err since early Saturday morning. Four
powerful naval tugs-the Uncas, the
Wahneta. the Hercules and the Mo-
hawk-drew the big warship from the
sand bar. The United States cruiser
Minneapolis stood by and saw the
Rhode Island pulled from the shoal.
Water was pumped from the ships
forward tanks and aft, and every piece
of portable material was shifted from
the forward part of the vessel with
the view of tightening that quarter.
The naval tugs were arranged in tan
dem fashion for a strain at the battle
ship at hi";'l tide. Their efforts were
successful, rs sic soon glided into deep
water and Is now anchored at Hamp.
ton Roads.
The warship in attempting to enter
York river before daybreak got out of
the channel, it is said. by the pilot
losing his bearings in misty weather.
Her plight was made known to this
navy yard by wireless telegraph as
soon as her commanding officer, Cap
tain Harrington, realized that she could
not be worked off the sandbar with her
own engines.
For fear of injuring the splendid YES
sci he decided to await the arrival of
assistance.
A court of inquiry will be appointed
to ascertain the cause of the accident
and report whether further action
should be taken against any one who
may be responsible.
