NO TILLNAN INQUIRY.
Resolution To Be Killed If South
Carolina Senator Offers One.
From The Tribune Rureau.I

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Tillman insists
that he will be investigated by the Senate il he
has TO introduce the resolution providing for the
inquiry himself. The Senate leaders. however.
say. has been told in these dispatches
that the Tilman resolution will not get far. even
if he introduces it. They take the ground that
nothing has been shown which would warrant
the expulsion of the Senator from South Caro-
lima; that at best only question OF prcpriety or
fine sense Of honor is involved: that condem-
nation would be too severe. and that. on the
other hand. they seriously opposed to
complete exoneration a "whitewash.
It is regarded possible that Mr.. Tilln1an
will make another speech. in which he will seek
to get even with the President. and that the
entire subject will then be dropped.
