REPLY TO TILLMAN
The President Gives Out a State
ment Regarding His Position
on the Pending Rate Bill.
MIsQu0TED BY CHANDLER.


washington, May 1b.-The sensation
al rate bill incident in the senate
Saturday, during which MIR. Tillman,
on the authority of Former Senator
Chandler, made statements regarding
the presidents course in connecting
with pending railroad rate legislation,
some of which statements were denied
by Mr.. Lodge on behalf of the presi-
dent, had its sequel Monday evening
when an official statement was Issued
by the White house giving an account
of the subject on the part of the pres
ident and Attorney General Moody.
The statement comprised two letters,
one from the president to Senator
Allison and the other from Attorney
General Moody to the president, both
dated Monday. The president says In
no case, either in the case Of Mr.. Chan
dler or any one else, was there the
slightest opportunity for any honest
misconception Of my attitude or any
belief that | pledged myself specifcal-
ly to one and only one amendment or
set of amendments, or that ! would not
be satisfied with any amendment which
preserved the essential features Of the
Hepburn bill as It came from the
house."
The president says that as to many
of the amendments, including the So
called Long, overman, Bacon and
Spooner amendments, he had said he
should be entirely satisfied to have
them in the bill, and suggested modifi-
cations as to other amendments, but
that "as to none (of the amendments)
did | ever say either to Mr.. Chandler or
to any one else that / should insist
upon having them in the bill as con-
dltion Of myapproval," and that on the
contrary he (the president) was care
full to state that he was not trying
to dictate any particular programme
Of action.
The presidents letter in part fol-
ows:
The White House, Washington, May
IA, 1906.
my Dear Senator Allison: As SEN
ltor Tillman brought in your name In

he made concerning our relations to

They May Have Peace.

Manila, May H.-Superintendent OF
Schools Hoover, OF Sainar, and several
native oficials Of that island have ar
rived here on their way to BaglIi, prov
inve of Benguet, the summer capital
to visit Gov. Gen. lde. MFR. Hoover says
that ninety-ive per cent Of the Natives
of Samar are anxious for the extermin-
alton of the fanatics and the establish
ment Of absolute peace. The native
onlcials, he says, are organizing bands
Of volunteers and capturing or killing
outlaws. 1t is estimated that three
hundred pulajanes still remain in the
mountains,
Gov. Curry Of Samar has proposed
to turn the pulajanes districts to the
federal authorities for the establish
ment of martial law and the extermin-
alton of the fanatics and, General
Wood agreeing, to place two regiments
assisted by naval gunboats in the is
land and the adjacent waters in order
to guard against the outlaws escaping
to neighboring islands. Governor Gen.
eral Ide has reached no decision in the
matter.
The Pulajane leader is GA years old
and has been in the mountains for
forty years.

DENY MINISTER MEMBERSHIP
Sc. Louis Trades anS Labor UniOE
Rejected the Application Of
of Rev. McClusky.

st. Louis, May 14.-After a pro.
longed discussion the Central Trades
and Labor union, by a vote of 4S to
"a, Sunday rejected the application Of
Rev. e. W. McClusky for membership
representing the Presbyterian minis.
ters' association.
The application was presented at
previous meeting, but was laid on the
table. Sunday It was acted upon ad.
versely. Rev. McClusky was present
and stated that the object Of his ap.
pIication for membership in the union
was in pursuance of the action taken
by the national body of the Presbyte-
rian church in having adopted de-
partment Of church and labor in the
interest of fraternity and courtesy and
religious opportunity. The church, he
said, had been looked upon as againsi
labor, but 1t was not. Mr.. Grant
Hamilton, a national organizer for the
American Federation Of Labor, was
one of the advocates of receiving the
minister into membership. After an
extended debate vote was taken, re.
sulting in the application being re-
jected.

TO an senators, representatives OF
senator's and outsiders alike, ! made
the same statements; those that !
made To Mr.. Chandler being the same
In substance that made TO you and
to those Of your colleagues Of both
political parties with whom l had any
extended conferences on the subject
ITO all whom saw stated that the
Hepburn bill was in its essence en-
tirely satisfactory to me. The Hep
burn bill as 1t passed the house simp-
" recognized the right Of review by
the courts-that is, the Jurisdiction
Of the courts-but did not attempt To
define 1t, thus leaving the courts to
prescribe the limits Of their own ju-
risdiction.
"At different times at least score OF
tentative amendments were either pre-,
pared BY the attorney general at the
request Of senators or submitted to
me By senators. As to many Of these
amendments (inCluding among others
the substance of the so-called Long,
overman, Bacon and Spooner amend
ments) / stated that should be entire
" satisfied to have them in the bill;
as to others | suggested notifications
which would make them satisfactory;
as to none did | ever say, either to
Mr.. Chandler or to any one else, that
I should insist upon having them in
the bill as a condition Of my approving
It. On the contrary, was always most
careful to state that l was not trying
to dictate any particular programme
Of action. In no case, either In the
case of Mr.. Chandler or in the case OF
any one else was there the slightest
opportunity for any honest misconcep-
ton Of my attitude or any belief that
l had pledged myself specifically to one
and only one amendment or set Of
amendments, or that would not be
satisfied with any amendment which
preserved the essential feature Of the
Hepburn bill as 1t came from the

Is Standard Oil All POWERFUL

The questi IN whether the Standard
Oil Co. is all powerful is partially an
swered in the following:
New York, Nov. 18th. Standard Oil
shares to the market value of $500, 900
changed hands Friday in the market in
which another high record was made
for volume of business in the stock for
day, as the business reached the ex-
traordinary total of SAG shares. 1t is
apparent the accounts of the proceed
ings to dissolve the company, have in
creased the alarm of small holders.
The opening sale was at $50, un-
changed from the previous closing.
From this point the price steadily de-
clned to SIS.
In the last few minutes there was q
rally to $50, the price of the last sale.
The net loss for the day was twenty
points and for the week fifty points.
This is a paper deterioration in value
of $40, 900, 600 for the week on>the cap
ital of the company.
On strong opening Saturday morn
ing Standard Oil sold up five points
from Fridays close, but later receded
in sympathy with the selling off Of the
general list. At the present figures

Writing "ssnudgeographs' Sure to
Please the Young People.
Now and again when entertaining
young people we need something
which will ancuge them for an odd
half-hOHr. Making smudgeographs"
wifi be found most useful for this pur-
pose.
Get your young friends to seat them
selves around the table and provide
them with sheets of waite paper, pens
and ink.
The fun consists in making marks
or writing names upon the paper and
while the ink is still wet, folding the
paper and sqeezing the ink in all direc-
tons. Very curious designs may be
produced IL this way.
The best results are obtained by
first folding the paper and then writ
ing with plenty of ink, along the
crease. Now fold the paper quickly
and pass the finger several times
firmly across the back.
Probably if hundred persons wrote
the same words the results would all
be. different. Write your own name,
Just once, squeeze it out while still
wet, and you won't recognize it.-Mon-
