 After the address Gorky retired to his dressing room. where cordon of clubmembers stood guard. the crowd shouted his name at the top of its lungs. crying that 1t wished to shake his hand
 After wait of twenty minutes Gorky decided to try to reach the street. His appearance was the signal for another outburst, Men and women fought to get to his side, and scores were trodden on by their compatriots. Unable to get to the door. Gorky once more retreated to his dressing room. Here a council of war was held and final move decid- ed on,
 Forming a flying wedge. twenty members of the association started down the center aisle for the door. with Gorky hugging his interference. It took them half an hour to get to the street A crowd surrounded the hack but was repelled by the police.

Senator Tiilman took the floor to make a statement on behalf of ex-Senator Chandler. which had been monmentarily expected since Senator Lodges conveyance last Saturday to the Senate of the Presi- dents emphatic denial os some state ments attributed to MT. Chandler by the South Carolina senator.
 Mir. Tillman read the portion Of MT. Chandler's memoranda of his confer ence with the President which has heretofore been given to the public, prefacing 1t with brief statement or his own saying that Saturday the Sem ate had been startled and mortified to hear the utterances Of an ex-memoer denounced on behalf of the President "as a deliberate and unqualified false hood As he had been responsible for introducing the subject which had caused the attack on Mir. Chandler. he felt under obligations to place him right on the record, To that end he read the ex senator's statement
 The reading of that statement was followed by the following from Mir. Tillman:
 There are only two points in tho Presidents letter which 1 deCm worthy of notice. His attempted explanation is ingenious but not ingenious. He calls in question the integrity of pur- pose and uttcrance of Mir. Chandler by declaring:
 He was asked to see ex-senator Chandler as representing MT. T!llman, who was in charge of the bill. He stated to me the views of MT. Tillman with seeming authority.

 MT. Chandler has declared most pos itiyely in a written statement that the President sent for him for the purpose of getting into communication with Senator Bailey and myself and he has produced the letter of MT. Loeb.

Washington. May 15.-Much conn- ment has been provoked In diplomatic and Congressional circles by a maga- zine article written by Baron Stern- burg, the German ambassador, in which he denounces stories concerning the German peril in Southern Bra gil and quotes official German statie- ties showing the number of Germans who have gone to Brazil and the sire of the German contingent now In that country.
 According to Baron sternburg's Gg- ures. the total number of Germans who went to Brazil from 1871 to 1894 was S4.71e Tn the same time the number Of Germans who came to the United states was 2,3s0,792.
 Baron Sternhurg states that ninetXk six per cent of the emigrants from Germany normally come to the United States where they lose their German citizenship and soon become identified with American institutions. He says the same Is true of the small number of Germans who go to Southern Bra gil He denounces 10 untrue reports circulated that Germany is making ev- cry possible effort to divert emigra- ton to South America.

SENATOR TILLMAN AGAIN
 RAPS THEODORE ROOSEVELT I.
Declares That the President Has Acted in Bad Faith and Has Sought to Blind the
 People as to His Actions.

markabie while the President sent for Democrat after Democrat to confer with him about this measure that he shoud undertake, under the circum- stances. to assert that sent an agent to him to begin negotiations. The statement is abusrd on it's face.
 ."The other point to which I shall re- fer is the cavalier way in which Mir. Moody discusses the idea of the Presi- dent not being bound
 While contradicted in no instance, however slight, my statement of what occurred. the attorney general seems to think that the code of honor among gentlemen is not binding upon the ex- ecutive and his cabinet.
 Asked to See Tillman nnd Bailey.
 The President asked him to see Mir. pointment made by Senator Chandler and talked over the vital question. He wrote and sent to MT. Bailey his un- derstanding of our views and when we met subseuuently we reached an abso-- lute agreement, both as to the form and the substance of proposed amendment to which he said the Preisednt would assent and help get votes for.
 "Of course the President was not bound not to change, but he was bound under such circumstances to give mo- tice this he has not done. Even the attorney general himself was not noti- fled The charge I made and still make Is that the President is guilty of bad faith and that the rate bill which will be enacted into law. though a much better and stronger measure than we had hoped to get. has been emasculated of one of Its most valuable and essen tiai features by the Presidents action.
 T an, ready to leave the whole ques ton to the thoughtful and honorable men of the country"
 Soon after beginning his statement Senator Tillman injected the word this IS Tillman talking now" whici caused litter in the Senate and con siderable laughter In the galleries When Mir. Tillman had concluded sena tor Allison asked to have read thu presidents letter to him. He only sait that his object was to have the letter made as permanent of record as Mir Tillman's statement
 When the words T saw the nswspa. per men en masse" were read ther, was a loud guffaw in the senate and 1T the galleries and the vice president rapped sharply with his gavel to re- store order,
 Mir Nelson interposed with q mo. ton to lay the pending anendment tc the rate bill on the table. which closed the incident.
