TiIIman So Declares In
Another Explanation
Which He Has Given
Out of Oregon Affair
WHAT THE SENATOR SAYS HE
TOLD BONAPARTE As To THE
THE LAND IN OREGON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Senatof
late last night replied to Mr.
Bonaparte's statement about his in
terview with the attorney general in
regard to the Oregon land grants.
Senator Tillman declared he Is
willing 10 place his oath alongside
that of the attorney general as to
what he said al that time. He said
he told Mr.. Bonaparte he desired to
secure some OF the land for himself
If possible. He said that it was his
public duty to attempt TO secure
cancellation OF the land patents, If
possible: his private right thereafter
to secure some of the land. if he
chose.
Il have hastily read the statement
issued by the attorney general, said
Mr.. Iillman and so far as | gather its
import there is no conflict of veracity
between us. but rather one of mem
ory.
but | feel very sure | mentioned
the valuable character of the land
and that my interest in the matter
had been first aroused because ]
wanted to purchase 1t ahd told him
so. As to the attorney generals
statement about my private Interests
whether actual or in expectation he
Is technically correct, wine aetpa!.yy
incorrect. my private inssrests at
that time being confined solely to the
desire that | might get some of the
land. if the government should can
eel the patents. but that was so dis
fant and prqblematical that Il
amounted to nothing
1t was my public policy TO secure
the cancellation of the patents, If
possible. after which ii was my pri-
yate right TO buy some of it If
chose. As there were 100000
acres in the two grants in question
and 1 only wanted l,440. the relative
interests are easy to see.
The attorney general in the op-
ening part of his statemnet. gives the
list of parties and corporations
against whom suit has been brought.
but | fail TO see anything about any
suit being instituted to recover tho.
land granted to the state of Oregon
to aid in construction OF military
wagon road from the nayigable wa
ters of Coos bay 10 Roseburg. These
lands were the ones in which | was
interested and they were incorpo-
rated both in the resolution which
he drew. and in the joint resolution
which became the law.
Has, or has not. the attorney gen
eral obeyed the act of congress. as

II not why not?
