DENIES ANY WRONG.
SPEECH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE
President Branded a Seeker Of Noto-
riety and a Cunning Self-Adver-
t~iser-Papers Are
Missing.

Washington, d. C.-Arising to a
question of personal privilege, Senator
Benjamin r. Tillman Monday denied
President Roosevelt's charge that he
had used his official position for his
private benefit, or that he had made a
false statement to his fellow members
regarding western land transactions.
At about the same time he began
talking, Speaker Cannon announced
in the house the membership of the
committee that will investigate the
expenditure of money for secret serv-
ice by the various government depart
ments. The members are: Olmstead
(Rep.), Pennsylvania; Curri (Rep),
New Hampshire; Young (Rep.), Mich
igan; Brantley (Dem.), Georgia, and
Powers (Dem.), Mississippi.
The Tillman pitchfork had been
sharpened anew, and the recent on
slaught of the Big Stick was re-
turned with the South Carolina sena-
tors old-time skill. He accused the
president of personal malice, misrep-
resentation, Justification, cowardice,
hitting below the belt" contempt Of
the senate and violation of the law
in the use of the secret service.
Incidentally, he gave utterance to
the charge he made informally Sat
urday, that important papers bearing
on the case at issue had been stolen

CANADA AND J.. s. AGREE
WATERWAYS TREATY SIGNED
AFTER YEARS OF WORK.
Scope contemplates Disposition Of
Every Difference Between The
Two Countries.

Washington, d. CATER a long
period of hard, patient work that on
some features of which ran into years,
Secretary Root and Ambassador Bryce
of Great Britain signed Monday night
a treaty for the settlement of inter-
national differences between the
United States and Canada. This is the
agreement which has popularity been
alluded to as the waterways treaty"
but its scope is broader than the de-
signation implies and it contemplates
a disposition of every thing in the
nature of differences between the two
countries, and machinery for questions
that may arise along certain lines in
the future.
Provision is made for a joint high
commission to be made permanent in
character.
The final draft and printing of the
treaty was not finished until late Mon
day, almost at the last moment, q
whole page having to be reprinted be-
cause of a slight alteration in the
text.
Dependent on the final ratification
of the treaty by the United States N
Great Britain rests the settlement of
numerous complex questions connected
with the water boundaries along the
northern border which have been the
source of more or less annoyance at
different times. Included in these are
~ ,A-,1ot;@,e GOV. tho ICn nf the
waters of the great lakes with the
secondary but none the less important
question of the diversion of the waters
of these boundaries, including Niagara
Falls which involve hat of the amount
of water to be taken out for power
purposes, the navigation of the st.
Johns river between Maine and Newt
Brunswick and the use of he MILK
river in the northwest.

itol, probably by some of the secret
service sleuths."
The senator demanded the most
searching investigation of his conduct
and invited comparison of his private
life a nd public work with that Of
Theodore Roosevelt, or any other
man."
Tillman admitted he was perhaps
d~isingenuous in the statement to the
senate declaring he had not bought or
undertaken to buy" any of the lands
in que stion. Everything, he declared,
hinged on the meaning of the word
undertaken" as he used it. He had
not paid any money, o. had he taken
anyone's receipt, "the usual process
by which one undertakes to buy
land"
81 have not attempted to deceive
anybody" he declared with emphasis.
81" have not told any falsehoods; /
have not been guilty of any immoral
conduct. I had the right to purchase
the land II I could"
Replying to the presidents charge
that he had made improper use of his
official, Mr.. Tillman said:
II fail to see any sense or reason
in this attitude. I had not become a
party to any litigation; / was not in
terested, except as q private individual
wanting to purchase, and rs a senator
desiring to enable others to have the
opportunity to do so. OF course, the
president is sure that / have done
something very ~discreditable and out
rageous. He hates ne, and would de-
rtroy me II he could"
