request to the heads of the various

Tillman Will Reply Monday
Immediately after the conclusion of
the chaplain's prayer Monday Mr..
Tillman will ask the recognition Of
the chair on a question of personal
privilege. Departing from his custom
of eXtemporaneOus speaking. he will
read his statement, thus insuring more
careful adherence to what he desires
to say than he would be able to give
in anN Off-hand speech.
TelItaIe Copies of Letters.
The communication to Senator Hale
is nearly 5000 words long and there
are appended to it numerous exhibits
including copies Of letters written by
Senator Tillman and his agent Will
liam L. Lee, showing that they did
make an effort to obtain several quar-
ter sections of the Oregon land and
the reports of the postofflce inspectors
who investigated the transactions Of
the land agents. It was owing to this
investigation that the alleged interest
Of Senator Tillman was brought to
light. and fatefuly, it appears. it was
at his instance that the inquiry was
begun.
