The portion given out by Tillman is largely a repetition of the first part of his statement in the Senate yesterday. It covers, however, that portion where Tillman had quoted Chandler as saying that the President had stated he had come to a complete disagreement with the Senatorial lawyers who were try ing to defeat or reject the bill, naming Knox, Spooner and Foraker, regarding which statement Senator Lodge subse quently, he said, was authorized to say from the White House that it was an unqualified falsehood. Disagreement With Senate Lawyers. On this subject Mr. Chandler, refer ring to the President, said in his writ ten statement: "He said that he had been much troubled by the possibility of an un limited court review by some of the lawyers of the Senate naming Sena tors Knox. Spooner and Foraker as trying to Injure or defeat the bill by Ingenious constitutional arguments but that he had come to a complete disagreement with them". He made thls'polnt emphatic by repetition." The statement given out by Tillman follows. Senator Tillman siUd today that SaturdaV. May 6. he Insisted on having from ex-Senator Chandler a written statement of the various con ferences by the latter In connection with the plan of the President to con trol the railroad rate legislation by al liance with the democrats of the Sen ate, and Chandler gave him such a statement made prior to Saturday, May 12, and signed by Chandler.

March 31, 1906, a friend of mine came Into my office and told me of the White House con ference of that day.

'At the time and place appointed the resident said to me that he wished hrough me to get Into communication vlth Tillman. Bailey and other Demo- ratic Senators. He stated his purpose lowly and carefully, and In exact sub lanre his statement was this: "That he had reached the conclusion hat the best plan for railroad rate legis- tlon was to grant expressly a court view, but to limit It distinctly to two Joints first, an inquiry whether the In- rstate Commerce Commission had ex erted its authority, and. second, an in- iry whether the Constitutional rights the carrier had been violated. He id that he had been much troubled by avocacy or an unlimited court re- ew by some of the lawyers of the Sen- e naming Senators Knox, Spooner and waker as trying to injure or defeat the 1 by ingenious Constitutional argu- fents. but that he had come to a com- te disagreement with them. He made this point emphatic by repe- on; said that he would go thus far i no farther, and that his decision uld be unalterable. He declared he Uhed to ascertain whether there could united action In the Senate among friends of the bill, so that It could eurely passed without injurious endments. and he named various Re- llcan Senators whom he thought were i friends ot the bill, but said that it would take nearly all the Democrats to carry the limitation and defeat all ob noxious provisions. Restriction on Injunction. "After the President had made his statement. I replied that I had reason to believe that most of the Democrats In the Senate would sustain his limitation of the court's powers, but that I was sure that Bailey and Tillman would in sist upon coupling with the limitation some restriction upon the power of the courts to Issue injunctions against the orders of the commission. Before I had finished my statement on this point the President interrupted me. saying that I peed not explain further because he was warmly in favor of some such restriction. That evening I saw Tillman and told him what had occurred." Senator Tillman's statement in the Sen ate yesterday was the principal topic of discussion in official circles today. The Senator had a number of callers at his apartments, with whom he talked freely about the matter, among whom were Senator Bailey and ex-Senator Chandler. Chandler Will Say Xo More Xow.

Knox, and Foraker. He declined, however, to be further brougnt Into the controversy at this time, say ing he would let the matter for the pres ent rest on the statement made public by Tillman.

Tugh a. life-long Democrat, he de nounces the uryAmerican methods th hove been adopted and proclaims himself a supporter- of Dr. James Withycombe, the Rapubfican" nominee. In a letter to The Oreonian, he says: "As -a citizen of Oregon,. I cannot help but express In a public manner my ex treme disgust at the cheap, peanut poll tics resorted to In the present campaign by those who are endeavoring to prevent the election of Dr. Withycombe. "The only charge made against him is that he was born In England, as if such an incident should disqualify a person for the office of Governor. No other objec tlon so far has been urged against Dr. Withycombe". He Is acknowledged even by his political enemies to be honest, qual ified and competent In every respect to discharge the duties of the office to which the people of this state have nominated him.

C His Rise From ToTtrtj. "From a poor farmer boy, unaided by wealth or special advantages, he has ob tained a standing in the affairs of this commonwealth that is highly gratifying to his many friends who knew him as a struggling young man amidst his neigh bors In Washington County. What en couragement for the poor, hard working young man to think of the great possi bilities there are in this country for him by following In the footsteps and observ ing the advancement made by Dr. Withy combe. The genius of our Institutions is notlceabe in the career and endeavor of Dr. Withycombe. Do those who undertake to belittle Dr. Withycombe, because, forsooth, he was born in England realize that one of the ablest United States Senators Oregon ever had was Colonel E. D. Baker.

He was a brave and gallant soldier who gave his life in defense of our institutions in obedience to a spirit of loyalty to our Government that every sincere lover of liberty com mends.

"I have no patience with the A. P. A. spirit that would condemn and proscribe a man on account of his birthplace or his religion, if he Is a worthy American citizen. I trust that no one will be mis led by such nonsense. Such an appeal to the prejudices and passions of men should not be tolerated In a country like ours. It is the boast of our people that any person may aspire to the highest office in this state if he is worthy, no matter what may be his birthplace or his relig ion.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF MURDER Body Probably Brought to the Place April 10. POLICE MAKE DISCOVERY Decomposition Makes the Identifier, tlon of Features Difficult, But the Clothing Resembles That Worn by the Priest.' ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-The mys tery of the fate of Father Gapon ap parently was cleared up today by the dis covery of a corpse, which has almost positively been identified as that of the ex-priest, hanging in the upper cham ber of a lonely villa in the Summer sub urb of Ozerki, Finland. The villa was sold April and a de posit paid by an unknown man from St. Petersburg, who, after visiting the house several times In company with a young workman, disappeared April 11. taking the key with him. The proprietress of the villa, alarmed at the nonappearance of the tenant, notified the police, who en tered the house. Breaking down a door they were confronted by a body in a long coat hanging from a nail, the feet touching the floor. Decomposition of the face made posi tive identification difficult, but the feat ures resembled theme of Gapon and the clothing corresponded with that worn by the missing labor ieader. As the usual symptoms of strangula tion were absent It is conjectured that the man was killed elsewhere and his body brought to the t villa on the night, of April 10. This would a' wir ij" date of the exccution'Oft": 'fKJt the Information of the snret police an? with the death of the ex-sentry ot tiie priest, as announced' in dispatches from Berlin." RADICAL MEASURE LAID ASIDE Demand for Amnesty Put in Hand of a Committee. ST. PETERSBURG, May 13. Another of the incipient radical revolts with which it is apparent the Constitutional Democratic majority must continually contend broke out today in the lomer house of Parliament, when labor mem bers Introduced resolutions for the im mediate submission to Emperor Nicho las by telegraph of a demand that am nesty be proclaimed at once. In view of the Mayday demonstrations and the arrests that are expected tomor row, the Constitutional Democratic lead ers were scarcely able to stave oft so precipitate a move, which would undo all the results of their moderation by sending their best orators into the fray, when Professor Kovalevsky, a free lance member, proposed that Instead of tele graphing the House send President Mour omtseff to . Peterhof, with the request for Immediate amnesty. This threatened to sweep the house, but the Constitutional Democrats, by sharp politics, managed to sidetrack the mat ter until after the selection of a commit tee, which, according to Russian proced ure, occupied several hours, and then were able to defeat It. After this Incident, he House ad journed until Tuesday. May day was not mentioned, but abandonment of the session tomorrow waa dictated out of re spect for the Socialist holiday, as well as with the desire to give the committee adequate time to draft the reply to the speech from the throne. The Polish deputies today began their campaign for autonomy by a resolution for the inclusion of a paragraph on that subject in the reply to the speech from the throne, pointing out that the funda mental law which established the Special position of Finland does not mention the relation of Poland to the Empire, and the government's attitude in regard to the absorption of Poland as an accom plished fact is thereby manifested. Ths House turned over the resolution to a committee without recommendation. Though, the Socialists and workmen oi Bt.
