The Rate Bill. Controversy.

Ex-senator Chandler confirms in de
tai Senator Tillman's statement o.
President Rooseyell's agreement with
the democrats 10 regard to railroad rate
leg station.
Senator Tillman gave out Saturday
night statement made by Senator
Chandler in which the latter declared
that President Roosevelt had used the
very words contained in the statement
which the President declared on Satur.
day to be an unqualified falsebood
The statement which ex-senator
Chandler has furnished to Senator Till
man cOrroborates in the minulest detail
everything that Mr.. Tillman asserted
in the statement be re d to the Senate
Saturday afternoon. Neither the Presi-
dent, Acknowledgement Moody nor any
one else has attempted TO deny the
duplcity OF the PRECEDENT set forth in
the statement Mr.. TIlIman made. The
only thing denied by Mr.. Lodge in the
Senate after his telephonic conversation
with the President Saturday afternoon
was the assertion contained in one para
graph of Mr.. Tillman's statement that
Mr. Chandler had been told by the
President that he had been much
troubled by the advocacy of an unlimit-
ed court review by some OF the lawyers
of the Senate, and that Senators Knox,
Spooner and Foraker were trying to in
jure or defeat the bill by ingenious CEN
stitulional arguments.
In view of fhe denial of this portion of
Mr.. Tillman's statement, Mr.. Tillman,
with the consent and approval Of Mr..
Chandlef, -yestetaay gave out that por
ton of Mr. Chambers written state
ment, which was the basis of what Mr..
Tillman said respecting this detail.
President RoOsevelts expected state
ment about the rate bill alliance that
fell through did not materalize yes'er-
day. Mr.. Lodge said in bis speech that
something from the President was likely.
Word went out yesterday from the
White House indicating that this was in
contemplation, but later ii was sal there
would be nothing.

Terrible Explosion.

Bridgeport, Conn May l4-With a
sound like the rumbling of thunder and
shaking of the earth, like an earth
quake, and believed for time to be one,
followed by a binding fash of lurid
light that penetrated every corner of the
city, the contents of four of the hnge
magazines for the storage of explosives
on the reservation OF the Union Metallic
Cartridge Company, three miles north
ofthis city, blew up at 4;25 o'clock this
morning. The rumblings and shaking
OF the earth were so violent that in many
sections of the city people rushed from
their houses in terror, thinking that an
earthquake had shaken this section. Re-
ports later indicated that the tremblings
and rumblines resembling an earthquake
had been felt in a radius of fifty miles or
more of Bridgeport. No loss Of life re-
suited in this city as result OF
the explosion, and, so far as could be
learned, no one was seriously injur-
ed, though every one was badly
frightened, aud many were shaken nearly
out of bed. and hastened to get out the
rest of the way. The damage lone here
consists principally of broken glass in
many OF the business places aud houses,
many broken chimneys and fallen plas-
ter in houses aud stores. One of the
magazines exploded contained smokeless
powder in large quantities. This DOW
eriul explosive exploded apparently first,
causing such an impact that great holes
fifteen or twenty feet deep in the earth
are all that remain to tell the story of
where the magazines stood The build
ings, which consisted of wood covered
by corrugated iron, are completely swept
away, no yestige OF them being found
in the locality. Near by great trees were
uproOted and thrown many feet away.
Rocks and stones were hurled with great
force into the air, and dropped many feet
away. The cause of The explosion, un.
less it was an earthquake, will probably
never be known.

The question of veracity has been
clearly raised between the President and
former Senator Chandler. President
Roosevelt denied, Saturday. through
Senator Lodge, that he had ever de-
clared to Mr.. Chandler that Senators
Knox, Spooner aud Foraker were try
ing to iDiure and defeat the rate bill by
ingenious constitutional arguments and
amendments antsgonistic to the rate
regulation policy. Mr.. Chandler, through
Senator Tillmau, issued statement last
night in which the substance of his in
teryiew with the President is repeated
and the criticism by the President of the
Senators named is reasserted. In brief,
Mr.. Chandler declares Mr.. Roosevelt
did say what the President. through Mr..
Lodge, now denies, and there the matter
rests for the present Before the state
ment was issued, Messrs. Chandler and
Tiilman we're in conference for several
hours. They discussed the whole Situs-
ton, and Mr.. Chandler, while realizing
the Importance of the step he was tax
ing, consented to the issuance last night
of parts ofs document which he had pre-
pared formerly for Senator TilImsn.
The latter explained that he had him
self insisted upon the preparation OF this

Chandler as the Presidents representa-.
