BY SENATOR TILLMAN

Washington. Jan. l3.-- Senators who
have given consideration 10 the de-
maud made by Senator Tillman for an
Investigation by the senate OF the
charges made by the president in CON
nection with the senator's attempt to
procure Oregon lands, incline TO the
opinion that there is no question be-
fore the senate for injury. except as
to whether Tillman was frank with
his colleagues lin discussion
The opinion held generally is that
even Il the charges made by the pres
ident were true, the act of Tillman
was not a violation OF law No mem
Der OF the committee on privileges and
elections is inclined to present res
olution calling for one, and il one is
introduced it is likely Senator Till
man himself will be the author. His
friends. however. are determined to
advise him against insistence upon

@at the present county Jail would
make excellent headquarters for the
fire department With the eXpendi-
ture OF a very small sum of money
the Jail building could very easily be
converted into adequate headquarters
for the fire department. The location
is practically the same as the present
one Of the department, and by remoy-
ing it to the county Jail site the city
gets ii OF Newcastle street and at the
same time would secure a very valu-
abe lot en- the principal business

used for other purposes.
Nothing definite has yet been done
