D.neep Make, Statement.

Springfield Ill. May es,--Governor
oensen to-day issued statement in
reference to the speech in the United
states Senate In which he was at
tackled by Senator Lorimer
While the reports of Senator Lori
mer's speech obtained by me to-day
have been meaEre. I understand he
charges that l have entered into a
conspiracy with the Chicago Tribune
to have published the confession OF
Representative White.
This charge Is without any foun-
dalton of fact. The facts are as fol-
lows: About midnight Of the day he
fore the story was published a repre-
sentative of the Chicago Tribune met
me at the Union League Club and in
formed me that he had been waiting
two hours to see me; that the edi-
tor of the Tribune was exceedingly
anxious to interview me about mat
ter of great Importance, and that they
would have to go to press within a
few minutes Accordingly. ] went to
the Tribune Office nearby.
"A statement was there made to me
of Mr.. Whites confession, and an In
tcrview was requested. A brief inter-
view was given by me in which stat
ed in substance that full examina-
ton should be made OF the assertions
contained in the confession. i ex-
pressed no opinion regarding the
truth of the charges.
MIR. Whites confession was in type
and was on the press when I arrived
at the Tribune Office. This was the
first ,intimation had that Mr.. White
had confessed or was in any way I'm
plicated in charges Of bribery.
While am surprised at the char.
acter of tho statements made by Sem
ator Lorimer, am at a loss to know
what possible relation they bear now
to the charge under Investigation
that his election to the United States
Senate was procured by means Of
bribery.

cused Mr.. Connolly of being a

1t is also alleged that Mr.. Lawlcr

Kind
Denied by Connolly.
Mr.. Connolly submitted statement
to the Investigating committee, In
which he denied that he had been on
the Republic, or any other trans
Atlantic liner. He added: NO Incl
dent OF my career has given the
slightest foundation or the remotest
warrant for this unjust statement. It
Ia made out OF the whole cloth. I
think In Justice the record ought to
show this much"
After this letter had been read into
the record Representative James an
nonnced that he had a letter from
James B. Connolly, stating that he
was the Connolly against whom the
Republic charges were made. but that
they were unfounded. and had. been
made by a disgruntled steward. who
had fed to Canada to escape being
held responsible for making the
charges.
It is rumored that James B. Con-
molly, tho Republic passenger, has
also retained counsel, and may enter
suit against Mr.. LAWYER.
