THE SECRET SERVICE.

Washington. Jan. THE Perkins
committee, when it reports tomorrow,
will recommend that President RoOse-
velt's Secret Service message Of Jan.
4 be laid on the table, as disrespectful
and irresponsible to the inquiry of the
House A similar request will be made
tor taDling that portion of the Pres
ident annual message relating to the
Secret Service on the ground that 1t
reflects upon the integrity of the mem
bers of the House
The special committee concluded its
consideration of the message today
and drafted it's report, which will be
presented by Rep. Perkins of New
York The unusual and extreme course
advised by the comnittnc-that Of de-
clining to consider any communication
from any source which. in the jIde-
ment of the House is not respectful is
likely to create sensation when it Is
read.
Tho report of the committee Will m
cude the paragraph of the Presidents
annual message which refers to the
Secret Service and suggests that the
reason Congress restricted its use was
because members of Congress them
selves did not wish to be investigated.
This will be followed by an excerpt
from the message of Jan. 4 in response
to the request made by the House for
an explanation of the language used
by the President which had been in
tcrrrctcd by the House as dlsparaGlnS
the character of it's membership After
setting forth the statement of the
President that the House failed to I'M
dtr.;tand his message the report of the
spccial committee will say that the
language itself will be judged accord
ing to tho accepted interpretations OF
the English language
That the House is charged only with
it's responsibility to the people and the
preservation of it's own dignity, Will be
asserted with great force and if the
report is adopted the House will insist
on its own capacity to understand the
import Of the Presidents language. 1t
will be asserted that the language in
question was unjustified and without
basis of fact and that it constituted a
breach of the privileges Of the House.
For that reason the special committee
will ask to he discharged from further
consideration of that portion of the
Presidents message which refers to the
Secret Service and will recommend that
it and the subsequent message of the
President in reply to the Houses de-
mand for an explanation he laid on the
table as being unrcsponSlvc and con-
stitutnC an invasion of the privileges
of the House by questioning the mo-
tives and intelligence Of members.

TlLLMAN SHADOWED.
Had Attention Of Secret Service Men
On and Grab" Scheme.

Washington. Jan. by direction Of
President Roosevelt secret service men
Swallowed Senator Tillman of South Car
DINA on the theory that possibly he was
interested IN an Oregon land grab and
the result of that investigation is now
before the Senate.
The information was contained in II
communica ton from President Roosevelt
in response to a request by Senator Hale
to the heads of the executive depart
ments for n statement of the activities
of secret service operatives. Exhaustive
replies were made by the, various de-
partments and all of these were forward
ed to Senator Hale by the President.
They have not been made public. and
Hale announced that they would not be
until they had been considered by sub
committee of the committee on appropria-
TONS which will be charged with the
duty of acting upon that portion of the
Presidents annual message relating to
the secret service and criticizins men,
hers of Congress for their restriction Of
its use.
Soon after President Roosevelt's COM
munication to Hale received at the
CAPITOL yesterday it became nosed about
that it contained a reflection upon SEN
ator from a, Southern state. The name
of the senator in question wase not di-
yulCed for a time and as result the at
mosphere of the Senate was surcharged
WI. curiosity and much speculation.
When it finally became known that SEN
ator Tillman was the person mentioned.
further efforts to obtain information con-
corning the character of the charges were
,,ado INIT they were without avail.
Tillman was not aware that his name
figured in the reports until late in the
day. He then took pains to assure him
self that the reports concerning the men
ton of himself were we'll founded. but
he said only that he would not make
any statement until the fact of the use
of his name had been officially promul-
gated. when he would address himself to
the subject from his seat in the Senate
Tt is known, however. that he regards
the mention of his name as an attack
upon himself by the President and ne
has indicated to friends that he VIII not
mince matters in his reply. He has ais"
declared to those with whom he talked
that he would welcome the opportunity
TO EXPRESS his views and explain the sit
uation.
Senator Hale will probably lay the en-
tire matter before the committee on ap-
propriations at a meeting to be held next /
saturday and in that event it is probable
that Mr.. Tillman will be heard on Mon
day next.

words OF the services and benediction.
subsequently the archbishop walked
through the ruins and blessed the mil
itarv hospital, the military college, the
barracks and the archbshops house,
considering the wrecked edifices as SO
many cemeteries Under them were the
remains of soldiers, students, police
men, priests and monks.
