SOUTH cARoLINIAN REPLIES TO
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
INVESTMENT WAS POOR
That Was the Reason He Did Not En-

interests in the state of oreoon--
His Reply in Full.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Declarinc
that the president had been actuated
by motives of malice and revenge in
attacking his course, in connection
with the Coos Bay, Oregon, land grant.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina.
from his seat in the senate TODAY
made reply to the accusations of the
chief executive.
His speech was read from manu-
script and was a choice mixture CT
argument and invective. Mr.. Tillman
rose to question of personal priyi-
lege Immediately after the conclusion
OF the morning prayer, and as his in
tent had been widely advertised. he
was greeted by an audience which fill
led every seat in the galleries. From
the first the senator received most
careful attention. There was sucn
pressure for seats on the part of the
families of the senators that the pri-
vate senatorial gallery was open as
early as 10 O'Clock and the doors had
no sooner swung outward than the
crowd poured in. There were, how
ever, so many in the corridors that the
withdrawal of the few that found seats
made very little difference to the out
side crowd
The card galleries usually remain
closed until HAS, but the pressure
was so great that they were opened an
hour earlier today and by the time in
gress became possible, the throng be-
came so dense and the rush so strong,
that women screamed and many of
them had their wraps torn from them.
Probably not one fifth of the people
in the corridors found access to the
gallery.
Senator Tillman's health is such
that he concluded not to attempt any
severe language in his reply
to the president He said, however,
his speech, that his friends
were counting upon the denunciation
of the president and would have no oc-
casion to complain If they would be
patient, for he expects to find other
before the close of the
session to pay his respects to the
president, when he promises not to
them.
