BAILEY REPEATS
L
His Good Faith Was Not
Challenged.
QUOTES CHANDLER IN SUPPORT
flallroad Senators Proposed to
Use Texan.
TILLMAN WITH ROOSEVELT
iKocuments Show Suspicion Not on
Jllin, but His Alliance Was.
Sought Accuses Roosevelt
of Inspiring Attack.
WASHINGTON, May 17. Senator Bailey
again todny took the floor In the Senate
to make a further explanation of his con
nection with the efforts to secure an un
derstanding between the President and
the Democratic Senators on the railroad
rate bill, basing his statement on articles
Jn the Chicago Tribune and the New York
Tribune charging him with bad faith in
that connection, and giving ex-Senator
Chandler as authority for that statement.
He caused to be read a series of letters
and memoranda, beginning with a request
from himself to the ex-Senator for a copy
f any statement that he might have made
that Justified thlB statement. This was
followed by the reading of the following
letter from Mr. Chandler to himself, dated
May 16:
Chandler Explains Note.
I hava your letter of today and I enclose
to you a copy of a memorandum sent by me
to the White House on the morning of
XVednnday. April 11. I think the memoran
Hum was not dated, but my retained copy is
iated April 11. 1 did not therein give the
I'rA-Udsnt any assurance as to your attltuBe
relative to the so-railed same, because I had
rot sssn you and did not feel authorized by
ensitllna Mr. Tillman had then aald to give
any assurance in your name. At 3 P. M. I
V. ... x- ... -v -m- ;0iv
an '. he than e me that neither he nor
jourself were entering Into games with the
railroad Senators: and at :30 I saw the
president and told him what Mr. Tillman
bad said and that he need have no appre
hension on tha subject. I enclose to you
copies from my diary. April 13 I saw Mr.
Moody, and again on the 14th. and arranged
with him to se Mr. Tillman and yourself on
the next day. Sunday, the 15th.
Text of Note to I.oeb.
Then followed the memorandum to Sec
retary Loeb. and that was aoompanled
by an extract from Mr. Chandler's diary.
The memorandum was as follows:
The game of the railroad Senators ia to
support Bailey's amendment and Induoe him
to aifree to a broad right of court review.
"What that la to be W not certain, but the
rrlnrlral object la to "beat him" (meaning
Ihe President). Mr. Tillman, however, con
siders himself a acting with the President
t pass the review claims with the minimum
amount of court power and will not enter
Imo any such game.
The diary extract read:
April 11 at :IB P. M. saw Senator Till
man at the Colonial about railroad rate
legislation. At So at the White Houee aaw
J'rcsMrnt Roosevelt alone upstairs. Talked
or railroad rates and many other things for
more than an hour. He was very sraclous.
At ab..ut 10:S0 went to Colonial; with Till
man until 11:46.
Says Lie. Was Modified.
Proceeding with his remarks. Bailey
said that the New York Tribune of today
had put the matter somewhat differently
from yesterday's presentation. thus
'modifying the lie." lie quoted an ar
ticle In which It was stated that copies
ft Mr. Chandler's letter to the President
had been in circulation among Democratic
Senators. To this statement Bsiley gave
special attention, saying that he had
made Inquiry sufficient to assure him that
not one of the Democratic Senators had
ever seen the document, much less cir
culated It. He continued:
"I did not yesterday know that any
Senator on the Republican side had seen
it. but I am enabled to say now that on
yesterday the President showed It to one
of them and also to a member of the
House, and, if this statement is denied, I
can call names
Good Faith Xot .Impugned.
Me then declared that if Mr. Chandler
had never spoken another word there
was not a syllable in his memorandum
concerning himself to Justify the state
ment that he (Chandler) had Impugned
his t Bailey's) good faith. "He does not
tay that T was playing a game," he
went on. "but that others were. T will
tay that the game was played to catoh
others, and very successfully."
Further construing the memorandum,
he called attention to the fact that the
effort was to "beat the President." "With
that." he added. "I ought to have sym
pnthy. but at the time I did not." He
then called attention to the fact that
upon the President's authority. Mr.
Chandler s veracity had been challenged
in the Senate by Lodge, and asked:
"In view of that fact, does It lie in the
miuith of those people to assail me with
a statement like thst from a man whom
they have denounced as a false witness?"
Continuing, he said:
Would "ot Deal With Traitor.
Tbe President did not consider this memor
andum an Impeachment of my good faith.
The proof of that is that, with the memoran
dum before him. within three day he asked
me to confer with his Attomy-cneral on
this vital" question. It is Inconceivable that
th President, with a suspicion of my Integ
rity In his mind, would permit his Attomey
Oeneral to transmit to me an amendment in
tended to be Incorporated In this great meas
ure. I have no words to express my opinion
of those who would treat with those whom
HIS ANGRY
DEN A
they suspect' of treachery, and only traitors
would do it. .
Bailey then read briefly from the reply
of the Chicago Tribune's correspondent to
his speech of denunciation made on yes
terday and. continuing, said:
Shaft Aimed at Roosevelt.
My attack does not seem to hava disturbed
the correspondent of that paper, because he
says he waa overlooked In my attack on the
President. Perhaps he regards it aa being
overlooked to be called an unqualified, ma
licious liar. He aaya he has not the Chand
ler memorandum before him. but he attemota
to quote from it. Now, where did. he see It?
I did not show it to him. Ex-Setiator Chand
ler did not show It to him. It 1 addrsased
to Mr. Loeb, the Prealdent'e secretary. I
will leave U to the country, and the Senate
to say who furnished bim hia Information
concerning It.
The Texas Senator spoke of his own
faults, admitting that he has at times
justly been called arbitrary, dictatorial,
intemperate in speech and rash, but be
declared that he had never intentionally
done a man an injustice, and that he had
never done a wrong without making repa
ration when the fault was called to hia
notice. He said that no man ever before
had imputed to him a lack of candor, no
man had ever charged him with double
dealing, and no man could do so now and
escape his denunciation.
Brands Accuser as I.lar.
"Across the brow of such a man."' he
said he would put "the brand of liar, so
that all men may know htm and shun
him."
No one else spoke on the subject. Dur
ing the entire speech, there was intense
interest In the Senate and the galleries.
HEF,
PRESIDENT DECLARES HIS SUP
PORT OF MEASURE.
Tells Merchant Marine League It
Needs Missionary Work to
Get Through House.
WASHINGTON. May 17. To about 25 of
ficers and members of the Merchant Ma
rine League of the United States, who
called upon him today, the President ex
pressed himself aa heartily in favor of
the ship-subsidy bill now pending in the
House. The measure has passed the Sen
ate. The President told his visitors that he
needed no argument to convert him to the
belief In a policy of building up the mer
chant marine of the country. He was
confident, he said, that the legislation now
before the House would go far toward
beginning the proper building up of a mer
chant marine, and it was with pleasure
that he would give his aid to getting
through legislation of that sort.
While the President Indicated , to his
callers that he personally was in sympa
thy with their efforts to get the bill
through Congress, he said it would be
necpRry for them to do some missionary
wbrk to Induce the House to pass it.
STATE'S CAUSE VERY WEAK
Terranova Girl Will Very Probably
. Be Acquitted.
NEW YORK, May 17. (Special.) With
admittedly as weak a case as ever made
by a ' Prosecuting Attorney in a noted
murder case in this city, the prosecution
in the trial of Josephine Terranova rest
ed late this afternoon and the defense
will begin Friday morning. It now
seems likely that the case will get to
the Jury by Monday night next at latest.
It is the general belief about the Crim
inal Court building that the girl will
be acquitted of the murder of her aunt,
the specific crime for which she Is now
on trial, and that the District Attorney
will not prosecute the charge of murder
ing her uncle. Inasmuch as he considers
the present case strongest. In fact, the
rumor that the jury had already made
up its mind as to the action it will take
in the case became so persistent this af
ternoon that Justice Scott, who is pre
siding, felt called upon to warn the Jury
that they must not discuss the case and
that they must refrain from reading
newspapers.
Cuban Guards Killed in Feud.
HAVANA, May 17.-Three members
of the rural guard were today found
shot to death at Las Mengas, In the
Province of Pinar del Rio. Investiga
tion disclosed the fact that they bad
been killed in a quarrel with two other
rural gunrdsmen, who, after the affray,
fled to the woods with their horses and
guns. Rural guards are in pursuit of
the men.

NOT A VOTE CAST AGAINST IT
Six Dissenting Members Leave
Before Adoption.
DEBATE ON ONE CHAMBER
Strong Minority Favors Amendment.
Ministers to Be Questioned About
Incitement to Riot and
Brutality to Prisoners.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 18. 3:S0 A.
M.) Sitting until long after midnight, the
lower house of Parliament set its seal
upon its first great work, the adoption of
the address in reply to Emperor Nicholas'
speech from the throne at the Winter Pal
ace, setting forth the aims and aspirations
of Russia's millions. Despite attacks both
from the right and from the left, the lead
ers of the Constitutional Democratic party
held their followers together to the last,
and the address was adopted substantially
in the form in which it was proposed by
the committee and as already telegraphed
by the Associated Press. After the ad
dress was adopted the House adjourned
subject to the call of the President.
Only Six Members Dissent.
After the reading of the final draft. M.
Petrajetsky took the rostrum and ap
pealed for an unanimous vote. Count
Hayden stated that he and his friends,
although approving of the address Jn gen
eral, were unable to vote for certain de
tails, and would withdraw In order that
no opposing voice might be heard. He
then left the hall, followed by five mem
bers. The address was thereupon unan
imously adopted. .
President Mouromtseff was anxious to
request an immediate audience of the Em
peror today, if possible. On his visit to
the Emperor, President Mouromtseff will
be accompanied by special members of the
committee which drafted the address.
Amnesty Demand Defined.
The lower house's demand for amnesty,
the kernel and most pressing point in Its
address, was altered at the last moment
by the committee itself, which, in re
sponse to criticisms of lndeflnlteness in
the expression,' "full political amnesty,"
substituted "amnesty for all crimes com
mitted from religious or political motives,
as well as agrarian offenses." The com
mittee also accepted a new clause to meet
the wishes of the discontented in tbe
army and navy, asking the Emperor to
revise the conditions of service on the
basis of right and Justice.
Most of the other amendments proposed
in the closing hours of the debate fell by
the wayside, only one out of 31 proposed
alterations, of the agrarian paragraph, for
example, being accepted. The discussion
of this plan lasted four hours, practically
every peasant in the house taking the ros
trum to voice' the demands of his constit
uents for "land and liberty."
Poles Not Satisfied.
The paragraph with regard to the rights
of the various nationalities was adopted
without change, though it was expected
that the Poles would demand a fuller
statement for autonomy. . The only inci
dent toucning this paragraph was a sar
castic fling at the consideration shown
the national group, uttered by an old Rus
THE LITTLE
PARLIAMENT
sian priest, who proposed to satisfy the
discontent of the border nationality, even
if the integrity and name of Russia perish
in the process.
The last feature of the debate was an
attempt by Professor Kavalevsky to in
troduce a declaration in favor of peace
and pan-Slavism as the guiding principle
of the empire: but an amendment, com
mending Emperor Nicholas for his peace
manifestos and pledging the government
to cherish the aspirations of the Slavo
nian principle outside the empire was re
jected. Right Thinks Reply Offensive.
The debate was resumed when Par
liament met today.
Count Heydeju a prominent member
of the Ritrhe. took the first occasion
today-' declare that the Right did
not oppose In principle the substance
of the reply to the speech from the
throne, although it regarded some of
the paragraphs as unfortunate and un
necessarily offensive to the Emperor.
Prince Peter Dolgoroukoff. vice-president
of the Lower House, spoke warmly
in favor of a one-chamber Legislature.
At the same time he thought it entirely
proper that the Council of the Empire,
as an advisory body to the Emperor and
without legislative functions, could be
continued. Kiseleff, of Penza, also de
clared himself In favor of a one-chamber
Legislature. He said a two-chamber
Legislature might be well enough in the
United States and Great Britain, but that
Russia proposed to give the Western
world generally a lesson in true democ
racy. Professor Maxim Kovalevsky, of
Kharkoff, thought it of vital importance
that the Council of the Empire should be
shorn of power to participate with the
lower house of Parliament in consid
eration of the budget.
Split on Single Chamber.
The vote on Prince Dolgoroukoff's
proposition to Incorporate a demand
for a one-chamber Legislature in the
reply to the Czar developed the first
big split of the session, the amendment
being rejected by only 253 to 153 votes.
Rapid progress was then made on the
other planks so far as the recom
mendations regarding the agrarian
question. The following additions
suggested by Professor Maxim Kova
levsky, of Kharkoff, were made:
No new taxes shall be levied with
out the consent of Parliament.
Budget or taxation projects accept
ed by Parliament shall not be altered
by a non-representattve body.
Parliament shall have control of all
loans.
' In the paragraph providing for the
abolition of class privileges, the House
decided to demand equality of rights
without distinction of sex, as well as
of nationality or religion. The right
to petition was inserted, and by a
practically unanimous vote the Em
peror was asked not only to abolish the
depth penalty, bnt to suape-tiij Imme
diately throughout the empire the ex
ecution of all persons ' sentenced to
death..
The debate ended sensationally with
discussion of a motion by M. Stako
vltch to insert in the address an ap
peal to the people to stop political as
sassination. M. Roditcheff and others
opposed the motion, which was re
jected. The House added to the paragraph
of the address dealing with the Agrar
ian question, a single amendment, in
cluding the eccleastlcal domains In the
list of properties subject to expropria
tion. Professor Kovalevsky proposed an
additional paragraph demanding lib
erty for every national group and a
guarantee of freedom for all races,
particularly the Slav. This proposal
was rejected.
QUESTIONS FOR MINISTERS
Why Have Not Inciters of Riot Been
Punished.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 18. (1:40 A.
M.) Before the lower house took a
recess. President Mouromtseff read
from the chair two Interpellations adr
dressed to the Minister of the Interior
and signed by the requisite 30 Depu
ties, which probably will form the first
order of business today.
The first interpellation refers to par
ticipation by the police in the work of
inciting one portion of the population

REEKS WITH ROTTENNESS
Legal Proceedings Forestalled by
Early Meeting of Election Com
mission and Mayor's Ready
Aid Evidence Piles Up.
DENVER. Colo.. May 17. (Special.) The
corporations which w;re granted fran
chises on the face of fie returns !n Tues
day's election have lost no time in reap
ing the fruits of their dearly-bought vic
tory. Before the promised contest could
be inaugurated by the Municipal Owner
ship and Honest Elections Leagues, will
ing servants of the corporations took ac
tion to bind the city to carry out the plans
of their masters. An early morning can
vass of the returns. Its completion before
the District Court convened, the certifica
tion of the result of the election to the
Secretary of State, were the first steps.
Then the Mayor signed the franchises,
and tomorrow morning the city's official
organ will print the ordinances granting
the franchises, thus closing the coolly
planned and quickly executed scheme to
forestall a contest and bind the city hand
and foot.
Count in Their Franchises.
Fearful of the institution of proceedings
which would cause a District Judge to
take steps to supervise the canvass of the
returns, the corporations Induced the
three members of the Elections Commis
sion to meet this morning at 7:30, make a
hasty canvass of the vote on the fran
chises asked for by the Tramway Com
pany, the Light Company and the North
western Terminal Company, and certify
the result to the Secretary of State.
According to the figures thus compiled,
the tramway franchise carried by 185 votes
and the light franchise by 615 votes, and
the terminal franchise by 3169 votes.
No one opposed to the franchises was
admitted to the room while the canvass
was being made. A crowd of corporation
workers assisted the commission in Its
work, however.
Contest Will Surely Follow.
The indecent haste of the Elections
Commission will have no material effect
upon the contest proceedings, which will
be surely Instituted. There was a re
port at the City Hall today that the
City Clerk would now destroy the fran
chise ballots, thus wiping out every evi
dence which is essential in court proceed
ings. Fraudulent Votes in Thousands.
The Tramway and light companies
know they cannot afford to have Tues
day's election thoroughly probed into.
The evidence of the corporation's crooked
work Is piling up In the offices of the Mu
nicipal Ownership League and the
League for Honest Elections.
In a day's hearing in court, it Is said,
enough fraud can be proved In any one
Capitol Hill ward to overcome the tram
way majority. Thousands of bogus tax
receipts were voted on by the corpora
tion's supporters. Many of the men who
used these illegal receipts were repeat
rs and not entitled to a vote on any prop
osition. In some precincts the Judges
permitted all who were believed to fa
vor the franchises to vote.
Despite all these Irregularities, the as
sertion is made that the franchises were
beaten when the count was concluded
on Tuesday night.
The officers of the Municipal Ownership
League issued a statement tonight which
closed as follows:
"The election reeked with rottenness,
and the result cannot be accepted. The
corporations will not be permitted to
steal 350.000.000 of special privileges,
while there is a court to which an ap
peal may be taken."
Unite for Civil Service Reform.
WASHINGTON, May 18. A permanent
organization of the Civil Service Commis
sions of the country was formed as a re
sult of a meeting of the representatives
of state and municipal civil service com
missions with that of the general gov
ernment, which came to a close yester
day. Its object is the promotion of the
civil service reforms turoughout the coun
try by supplying information to National,
state and municipal civil service commis
sions. These officers were elected: President,

mission; first vice-president. Dr. J. C.

Effort to Have Report Sup

KUR0PATKIN TO SAY "NO"
Generals Fear to Make Russia Hldlc
uIoub. but Disgraced Command

Shall Share Disgrace.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 18. Spe
cial.) Unless findings shall be smoth
ered or the Czar interferes. General
Stoeasel, defender of the fortress of
Port Arthur and acclaimed hero ot the
Russian side of the disastrous struggle
with Japan, will be dismissed In dis
grace from the army and confined for
a long: term of years in a fortress as
one who has betrayed his trust.
The fact became known in army
circles late last night, when Informa
tion was received here that the Court
of Inquiry which had been investigat
ing: the surrender of Port Arthur had
arrived at conclusions which are now
in the War Office's hands, awaiting
transmission to the Czar, and that they
are in every respect unfavorable to
General Stoessel.
Condemnation Is Sweeping.
An officer who is in a position to
have received accurate information re
garding the verdict states that it is
one of the most sweeping ever found
by a Russian court. General Stoessel's
action in surrendering the fortress is
declared to be Inexcusable In the ex
treme, a at the time shu. showed the
wliHe flag he had on hand all the am
munition he needed for three months
at least; there was an abundance of
supplies and medicine, and his troops
svere In no way discodraged. In fact,
it is asserted, that the surrender was
made over the protest of all the gen
eral officers In the fort, all of whom
later were Instrumental In having a
Court of Inquiry probe into the facts
surrounding the surrender.
May Make Public Ridiculous.
The question what Is to be done with
the verdict of the court, however, is
most momentous. If It be made pub
lic and General Stoessel disgraced, the
one bright spot of the war In the
minds of the Russian people will be
wiped out. When Stoessel returned
from the scene of action he was met
by a representative of the Russian
government as soon as he landed on
Russian soil and as soon as possible
he was sent for by the Czar and per
sonally thanked for his valor. There
fore, to go back on all this Is to maka
the Czar and. the leading army officers
the laughing stock of all Russia. It
will be another confession of weakness
that is likely to bring the army more
and more Into contempt.
Because of this, there is a general
belief that the findings of the court
are to be suppressed. General Stoessel
will receive a quiet hint to leave the
country and the findings will be buried
In the records of the War Office.
Kuropalkln's Friends in Arms.
' However, there are some men In tha
army who are using all their Influence
to have the report published. They
are close friends of General Kuropat
kin, who claim that Stoessel's stupidity
In the defense of Port Arthur, more
than anything else, contributed to the
early defeats of the Russians south of
Liao Yang. As Kuropatkln was pub
licly disgraced, they claim that so shall
Stoessel be, no matter who is held up
to ridicule thereby.
LORDS REJECT LiABOR BILL

IjOXDOX. May 17. The House of Lord3
today, toy 96 to 24 votes, rejected the sec
ond readtnar of the bill introduced in the
House of Commons by James Keir Hardie,
the Labor leader, the object of which is
to prohibit the entrance into Great Brit
ain of aliens to take the place of British
workmen during trade disputes. Tho
measure had previously passed the House
of Commons without discussion.
The arbitrary action of the House of
Lords In throwing out the bill ii defply
resented by the Labor members of Parlia
ment, and was the absorbing topic of dis
cussion in the lobbies tonight. Mr. Hardie
blames the government for not taking
charge of the bill, while the government
contends that Its programme already 3
