Is appended numerous exhibits, in cluding copies of letters written oy Tillman and his agent, W. E. Lee, which shows that they did make an effort to secure quarter sections oi Oregon land and the report of tost office Inspectors who Investigated the tr.n.nrilon of land agents through this Investigation that alleged inter est of Tillman was brought to Hgm and at his Instigation. Inquiry was begun. The communication In part says that he has secured from differ ent departments' information about the use of the secret service which will enable him to put before the committee the facts, which he takes it, they desire.. That ne snouiu u obliged to congress for Information tending to show that secret service has been used as the "ponce or mor als," to shadow senators, congre- niBn and other nubile officials, ne says that sometimes In specific ln- .n.nM necret service has come across unexpected cases of misdoings and Instanced ft case of some years ago when a report was made regard in., th debauched and extravagant life of a certain postal employe. This led to the unearthing of frauds in th nostal department. After Instan cing cases in which Inspectors have called his attention to accidental dis coveries that congressmen have at times innocently or carelessly violate franking privileges, the president says that a case has just arisen - of different kind, which It seems to mm agents In line of their duty may de velop facts of high importance. The president then goes into the Tinman matter. ova that Tillman called the at- ntinn nf the senate to the circular of ft syndicate in Oregon offering sale of lands, particularly those in uoug- i Mnn counties. Oregon, wmcu had been granted to corporations by m, .rnvernment. the circular stating that the company In possession of thnm refused to sell them according to terms of agreement, and that among those who have spoken for a part of the land was Senator Tillman. resident says that Tillman de nied the statement in the circular and o-rnressed a wish that the post ornce through its inspectors, make such in vestigation. The president says that Tillman added that he had not dousui v trioH tr. hnv anv of the land in Ore gon, and that he wanted the people to note "that this swindler at ron land has. no warrant whatsoever for endeavoring to inveigle others into his game." The president then en closes circular referred to in the in spectors report, and photographic lac DimiHea of letters, envelopes and tel egrams from Tillman and his agent W. E. Lee, as exhibits. iae pi evi dent says that It appears that Till man wrote letters to Reeder ana Watkins of Marshfield, Oregon, who i v. nannle were attorneys rquescuu-s who were applicants for the purpose of obtaining a certain was"" land grant; Dorr was agent, making his filings through Reeder and Wat- kins. Tillman, in the course of fits letters, said: "I wired you from Wau aea, Wis., and write to confirm it. William A. Lee, my agent, will see hmit land. I want nine quarters reserved. Will forward signed appli cations and money at once. Mem hers of mv family are entrymen. A letter as follows: "Tillman adds that he wired Lee to go to Marshfield and nhout locating the land.

The president then quotes from a letter: "If I can succeed in causing tho government to institute ft suit for recovery of land and make it easier for OTHERS AS WELL AS MYSEL.r fnreaident states that the italics are his own) I shall do It without regard to dealings with your firm; I still want some of the tlmberland." Quo tations from letter goes on to say that Lee will probably be in Marsh field soon and arrange initiatory pay ments. Continuing It says: Any contract we might make will be en tirely apart and Independent of my work here in the senate. I will be glad for you to hold lnreserve eight of the best quarter sections and I will in the meantime, press ln- vaoHirntinn nd other work here, which will facilitate final purcnase, and effect obviate necessity of your making any case in court at all Th nresident adds that this letter Just four days before he announced to the senate that he had not undertak en to buy any land west. "It is unnecessary to comment up on his proposal, made in this letter Mo influence as senator to force government to institute a suit which would make it easy for mm personally to obtain some of the land." The president says that tnis letter. Durely pertaining to Tillman's private business was sent in franked envelope of which a photograpnic codv president attaches. He says at tack on Dorr was according to re 14. port of inspectors, wanton assaun made to cover up Tillman's own by inspectors and at Tillman's own request, Dorr's mail was held up. The president says that inspectors re ported that no evidence that Reeder and Watkins were not acting in good faith, and that though Dorr's state ments and promises were extrava gant. Inspectors believed that this, his enthusiasm and desire to make good in the west, and they are convincea that Dorr had no criminal motive and sincerely believed he would be able to make good his promises. Inspect ors recommended that the order to withhold Dorr's mail be rescinded. Final exhibit is a letter from Dorr to postmaster general, asking if he be given a co'py of the report of inspect ors, to use in setting himself rignt ti, latter atntes that although he X 11 17 1 ' 1 L 1 - " had been found innocent, investiga tlon had all but ruined his business and destroyed confidence clients had reposed in him; that post office in soector had told him (Dorr) confiden tially that his investigation "clearly showed that Tillman had interested hiTvooif in Tons Bav lands, as Dorr had stated, and that denial was un warranted and false.
