lon RATE BILL CHARGES
| The Attorney General VIII Not Make
a Reply Himself Republicans
Advise That No Answer
BE Made.

General Moody Will say nothing about
the alleged alliance between the Prcai
dent and Senate Democrats which has
raised Il question Of vcracity between
the President and eS Senator Chandler
OF New Hampshire.
Mr. Moody returned here Yesterday
morning from Biltmore, North Carolina,
where he has baen on vacation. 1t
was stated at his Office that whatever
there was to say would be said at the
White House By the President.
Mr.. Moody saw the President yastef~
day and the Tillinan charges were dis
eussed between them. Iii the afternoon
Mr. Moody saw the President again.
But while the Tiilman charges were gone
over and the situation analyzed, il Is
known that sensational stories OF a
break between the President and Mr..
Moody are without any foundation
whatever.
The President might be willing to
acknowledge that His own course with
reference To the rate bill could be criti
eised at times. but he will brook no
criticism Of Mr.. Moody in that con.
nection, because OF Mr.. Moody's iin-
wayering loyalty to him during the en-.
tire controversy
There II still uncertainty AZ to wheth.
Ell the President Will further reply The
opinion here il that the charges Of d
broken alliance are quite as serious as
the reflections upon Senators Foraker,
Knox and Spccucr, which reflections are
all OF the rillruan statement which the
President has denied.
Bit many Republicans are advising
the President moi To ronplicate the sit
uation by saying anything more. 1t
WIS said Yesterday that there would be
brief statement from him before he
day WAS over. and that ii would have
something about Mr.. Moody's part in
the conference Later il was said at
the white House that there probably
would be no statement.
Authoritative information from inside
sources ii that Tillman's statement il in
vefy large part true Hc has followed
}the details az the alliance very correct

to siand together on . compromise pro-
vision was not Is hard and fast az has
