the concluding sentence. IN which he says
there was nothing in the conversations with
Senator Bailey and myself that bound the
President to any particular amendment. /
have never commended that there was any

been asked to come, and Mr.. Chandler
thereupon reported the same to Senator
Tillman.
Whether Mr.. Tillman or Mr.. Bailey will
make q response in the Senate tomorrow
to the Presidents letter to Senate Allison
is not known. Mr.. Tillman said this wen
ing that whether or not he would say any
thing would depend on what was said In the
Senate.
