Mr.. Tillman-It is none Of my

NJ. 1'illman-No, you have lSt &C

DIscREDITs THE PRESS.
Mr.. Hale-I do not credit tue cxsg-
gsca ed statements OF tie newspaper
press about this incident. l believe
5hey are all extravagent, swollen and
not justified by the facts. but when.
ver any Ssnator up " his responsible ?
declares that there should be an iIvcs
tigation so that we may have, not
statements, not virulence, not denun
cation but facts, nobody on this side
will object to that resolution.
Mr.. Tillman-I will offer it and put
you to the test.
Mr.. Tlllman then QIoted the cfi
cial statement concerning the Morris
Incident aud said that and said that
in ignoring the matter the president
had practically endorsed it. he added
that be had b zen told that another
lady had been treated at the White
House very much as Mrs. Morris had
been.
Mr.. Hale again demonstrated with
M. Tillman for making the senate
the arena for the display OF his perso
nal pref adices. he declared that it is
not true that the senate is inclined to
bend the pregnant hinges CT the knee
to the president and thai the pIesi
dent had already learned that the
senate is an independent body. He
added that senators consult most free
ly with him.
None Of US hesitate to tell him If
we Go MT agree with him." he ad-
ded.
The senator Is wrong in uadertak-
ing to create the impression that the
senate is surrendering its rights.
will not submit to this arrange
ment.
Nj. Tillman said in reply that he
thought Mr.. Hale should not, in view
OF his own dissvowal, had rep: ated
the state N Mt that he had spoken as
be had because OF personal feeling.
Nj. Hale replied that the senator
must be bis own jude as to that AID
Mr.. Tillman answered that the stats-
nsnt was unjussti6ed.
DENIED PERSONAL FEELING.
Il say before Almighty God, it is
not tlus, he exclaimed with feeling.
MI. Tillnan then read typewritten
statement from a newspaper reporter
who be said was an eyewitness OF the
While House Incident in which the
reporter stated that he had seen Mrs.
" )crls carr ei off like sack Of salt
with negro at her heels and her
hanging dress from her knees.
Give US the name OF the witness. )"
NJ. G.l.t1ger suggested. but M.
Tillnan declined saying that he pre-
ferred to hold it for the proposed In.
yestigation. He added that he had
names OF four men who would testi J
to these facts as stated.
Here Mr.. Til;msn stopped a aAruptly
to move the appointment OF a COM
nittse Of Investigation. he sugges-
TED that FIVE senators be named for
the purpose OF inQuiring into the in
cident.
Mr.. Hale suggeste! :h25 as the
motion should be eth raWn ana
brought in proper shape tomorrow
and Mr.. Tillnan cols5nsec.
Here Mr. hopkins inte-poss5 an ob
lection to the entire proceeding say
ing that he saw mo more reason why
the senate she uld investigate the af-
fairs Of the presidents household than
that the presiden Mt should investigate
the personal sf.irs Of the senator
from South Carolina. y
Mr.. Hale said that he had not pr5-
tended to bind any senator by assent
ing to such a resolution, bu5 that &C
far as he was concerned he would not
oppose the resolution,
SENATOR DANIELS PLEA.
Mr.. Daniel then took the 1oor and
entered most earnest plea with Mr..
.Tillman not to present the resolution.
He evidently regarded the matter as
OF very great moment and scarcely
raised bis voice above conversation
tone. He referred to his feeling OF
attachment for Mr.. Tillman and said;
This Is a very delicate matter and
