Washington, Jan. 12-Senators who have given
consideration TO the demand made ny Senator Till
man for an investigation by the Senate Of the
charges made by President Roosevelt in ConneC-
ton with the Oregon land matter incline to the
opinion that there is question before the Senate
for inquiry except to whether Mr.. TiIlman
frank with his colleagues in discussing the
case The opinion is held generally that If
the charges made by the President true. the
action of Mr.. Tillman not violation of law
No member Of the Committee Privileges and
Elections is inclined present resolution calling
for investigation, and if IS introduced it
is likely that Senator Tillman himself viii he the
author. His friends. however, are determined to
advise him against insstence upon his request for
inquiry.
Just before going into the Senate chamber to-
day Senator Tillnan called Attorney General
Bonaparte the telephone and asked him
whether he had brought suit against the Southern
Oregon company which holds land grants for mill
tary roads from Roseburg To Coos Bay. This is
the land. comprising two million acres. Of
which Senator Tillman at time contemplated
purchasing at 8 n about fourteen hundred
acres for himself. members Of his family and
others.
Mr.. Tman declined to make Mr. Bonaparte's
communication public to-day. saying he would read
II and comment upon it in the Senate tomorrow.

PLAN NEW SENATE RULE.
President and Courts To Be Pro
tected from Aspersions.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Jan. 13.-It is the occasion OF grave
regret to the Senate leaders that there rule
the Senate prohibiting Senators from impugnins
the motives or casting aspersions the character
OF the President and the courts. and 1t has been
determined to adopt such a rule early in the next
session. The existing rules prohibit '.imputing to
any Senator any conduct motive unworthy or
unbecoming a Senator and the casting of asper-
sions on any state but that is far as they go.
HRd there been rule such II is proposed TO
adopt Mr. Foraker would doubtless have been
called TO order yesterday. but 1t IS especially
GREETED. in view of Senator Tillman's persistent
declaration that he proposes to get even with the
President in a speech which Will ''perforate the
Executive hide that such rule exists. It Is
feared that Mr.. Tillman will perpetrate serious
violation Of the dignity and decorum of the Senate
and there IS no rule under which he can be called
order.
The House is also protected from the aspersions
Of Senators. that the proposed rule will he all
that Is necessary protect all of coordinate
branches of the government from the unguarded
denuncaton OF those whose respect for the dignity
Of he Senate is deficient as 10 make the exist
ence Of slch prohibition unnecessary.
