Tillman, in the senate today replied to
the attack of the president in connec-

Crowds Throng Galleries

Long before the doors leading to the
senate chamber had swung open for the
day the corridors leading to them were
thronged by people, embracing both sexes
and all colors.
It was evident from the beginning that
the limited seating room of the galleries
would be quite insufficient to accommo-
date all that would apply for admission.
When the senator rose to speak there
was not a vacant seat in the galleries.
The senate floor was also we'll occupied,
not only by senator's themselves, but by
members of the house Of representatives
and by employees of the senate and 9TH
ers entitled to the floor.

The Hand of Bacon

II was not the kind of Tillman speech
the senate has been accustomed to hear,
and had expected on this occasion. There
was little pitchforking in 1t. Only once
did he accuse the president OF false
hood. Throughout the address the con-
servative touch Of Senator Bacon, who
aided in it's preparation, was felt.
In spite of this the audience, which
packed the floors and galleries. was I'M
doubtedly in sympathy with the speaker.
1t was every ready to laugh or APP
prove. There was smoker when Till
man said the president was an adept
at advertising. laugh so loud as to
bring rebuke from Web President Fair
banks, when Tillman announced that the
pitchfork had not gone out of business.
In the gallery were Postmaster GEN
eral Meyer, Mrs. Cowles, the presidents
sister. and a host of diplomats who
seem TO enjoy witnessing the chastise-
ment OF the president by the lawmakers.
TiIlman wound up by challenging COM
paflson OF his record for honesty and
truthfulness with that OF the president.
II was evidet from the time
that the public doors of the cap
itol were opened today that SEN
ator Tillman's reply to the presidents
charges against him, in connection with
an Oregon land grant, would receive ths
attention Of an audience commensurate
with the seating capacity Of the senate
chamber.
The fact that the South Carolina sena-
tor would make response to the allega-
lions of the chief executive had been
widely and persistently advertised, and
the number Of faces early turned in the
direction of the senate was convincing
proof that there were many who desired
to hear the senator's side Of the contro-
yersy.

Entrance Causes Stir

Much interest was manifested in Mr..
Tillman and when he entered the cham
Der his coming was announced by many
exclammations Of there he is" accom-
panied by a vigorous craning Of necks
and pointing OF fingers. The fact that the
senator had not attempted a set speech
since his departure for Europe last spring
on account of i'll health was commented
upon with interest almost as marked as
was the circumstance that he was to ap-
pear in response to the serious accusa-
tons of the president and in defense of
his own course. =
It was generally understood that he
would attempt to justify his course, and
the disposition of the audience both on
the floor and In the galleries was to wait
his explanation before passing final
Judgment.

Great Rush in Galleries

There was such pressure for seats on
the part of senator's families that the
private senatorial gallery was opened as
early as 10 o'clock and the doris had
no sooner swung open than the crowd
poured in. There were, however so many
in the corridors that the withdrawal of
the few who found seats made very lit
outside crowd.
The public galleries were also opened
at an early hour and were promptly
filed. The pressure was so great, how
ever, and the throng became so dense
and the rush so strong that women
screamed and many of them had their
wraps torn from them. Probably not
one-ffth of the people in the corridors
found access to the galleries.
