First Russian Parliament Dowle'a Meeting Broken Up Father Gapon's Fate Hill's Equitable Retainer. Funerals Tied Up by Strike-Verdict In Crapsey Heresy Case. Senator Tillman of South Carolina, who on Saturday made a statement In the senate covering the details of his and Senator Bailey's negotiations through ex-Sonator Chandler with ('resident Roosevelt regarding the rate bill litis made public a portion of a written statement made to him by Mr. Chandler of his various con ferences with the president on this subject. The portion given out by Mr. Till man Is largely a repetition of the flrst part of his statement in the senate. It covers, however, that portion where Mr. Tillman had quoted Mr. Chandler as saying that the president had staled that he had come to a com plete disagreement with the senator ial lawyers who were trying to defeat or injure the bill, naming Messrs. Knox, Spooner and Foraker, regard ing which statement Mr. Lodge subse quently said he was authorized to say from the White House that It was an unqualllled falsehood. The statement given out by Mr. Till man is Introduced as follows: "Senator Tillman said today that on Saturday, May 5, he Insisted on having from ex-Senator Chandler a written statement of the various con ferences by the latter In connectlou with the plan of the president to con trol the railroad rate legislation by al liance with the Democrats in the sen ate, and Mr. Chandler gave him such a statement made' prior to Saturday May 12, and signed by Mr. Chandler." Mr. Chandler had been urged by some of his friends to make public a statement over his own signature re garding the denial by Senator Lodge of the accuracy of the president's re marks In reference to Senators Knox. Spooner and Foraker. He declined, however, to be further brought into the controversy at this time, saying he would let the matter for the present rest on the statement made public by Mr. Tillman. It was with Mr. Chandler's consent that the portion of his written statement to Mr. Tillman of his conference with the president was made public. First Russian Parliament. Without a single hitch and with only a minor incident to mar the memorable day, the Russian parlia ment was inaugurated last Thursday. The weather was superb, and the state management of the impressive cere mony at the Winter palace, where Em peror Nicholas, surrounded by cour tiers and all the pomp and panoply of power, delivered the speech from the throne to the members of the two houses, was perfect. Such a spectacle perhaps never before has been wit nessed on the earth's stage. The message In reality was less a throne speech than a greeting and re quired only three minutes for its de livery. Emperor Nicholas read slow ly. The admirable and even cordial tone of the sovereign in renewing his pledges and asking the co-operation of parliament for the regeneration of the country was only negatively satisfac tory. Courtiers and spectators other than members of the national parliament led the cheering, but the members were ominously silent, expressing neither approval nordisapproval. What rankled mbst was the failure of the emperor to mention amnesty, and later, when the members assem bled in the Taurlde palace away from the spell of the throne room, many of them were with difficulty restrained from precipitating matters by offer ing resolutions on the subject. The Constitutional Democratic lead ers, however, who dominated every thing, were anxious not to weaken the eply which the lower house will pre pare to the speech from the throne, In which Issues with, the crown will bo Joined, and succeeded In Btavlug oft premature action. Dowie's Meeting Broken Up. A meeting over which John Alex ander Dowie presided at Zlon City Sunday was broken up by some follow ers of W. G.

No attempt at violence, however, was made against Dowie. , Dowie was so weak that he hod to be carried from his carriage into the Tabernacle by two attendants. Father Gapon's Body Found. ' The mystery of the fate of Father Gupon apparently was cleared up by the discovery of a corpse which has al most positively been identified as that of the former priest, hanging in the upper chamber of a lonely villa in the summer suburb of O.erkl, Finland. The villa was rented April 8 for the summer and a deposit paid by an un known man from St. Petersburg, who after visiting the house several times in company with a young workman dis appeared April 11, taking the key with him. Ai the usual symptoms of strangula tion were absent, It Is conjectured that the man was killed elsewhere and his body brought to the villa on the night of April 10. This would agree with the date of the execution of Ga llon given in information from the se cret police and the death sentence of the former priest as announced la re cent dispatches from Berlin.

Mr. Hill's counsel, Charles A. Col lin, submitted the case without argu ment. Professor W. HufTcut, dean of Cornell university law school and chairman of the sub-committee, then announced that he and his associates would consider the testimony and sub mit a report to the grievance commit tee at the earliest possible moment.

WHITE HOUSE LETTERS Bearing on Conferences With Senators Tillman and Bailey. Attorney General Moody Says There Wat Nothing In the Conversation! Between Himself and the Senatori Which Bound the President to Any Particular Amendment. Washington, May 15 The sensa tional rate bill Incident In the senate Saturday during which Mr. Tillman on the authority of former Senator Chand ler made statements regarding the president's course In connection with pending railroad rate legislation, some of which statements were de nied by Mr. Lodge on beralf of the president, had its sequel last evening when an official statement was Issued by the White House giving an account of the subject on the part of the pres ident and Attorney General Moody. The statement comprised two let ters, one from the president to Senator Allison and the other from Attorney General Moody to the president, both dated yesterday. The president says: "In no case either in the case of Mr. Chandler or any one else was there the slightest opportunity for any hon est misconception of my attitude or any belief that I pledged myself spe cifically to one and only one amend ment or set of amendments, or that I would not be satisfied with any amend ment which preserved the essential features of the Hepburn bill as It came from the house." "The president says that as to many of the amendments, Including the so called Long, Overman, Bacon and Spooner amendments, he had said he should be entirely satisfied to have them in the bill and suggested modifi cations as to other amendments, but that "as to none (of the amendments) did I ever say to either Mr. Chandler or to any one else that I should insist upon having them in the bill as a con dition of my approval," and that on the contrary he (the president) was careful to state that he was not trying to dictate any particular program of action. The president says the statements made to Senator Chandler were the same In substance as those made to Mr. Allison and other senators of both parties. He said he was asked to see Sena tor Chandler as the representative of Mr. Tillman, In charge of the bill, and that the conferences Attorney General Moody had with Senators Tillman and Bailey were such as had been held with many other senators to determine the phraseology and discuss the effect of amendments proposed by them. The president states that he became convinced that It was Impossible for senators "with advantage" to use him as an Intermediary and suggested to all to whom he spoke that they com municate with Senator Allison, whose purposes and the president's were "Identical." The president says that his own opinion that the Allison amendment in no way changed the court review as provided In the original Hepburn bill Is also the opinion of Attorney General Moody and Secretaries Root and Taft. The attorney general's letter gives an account at the president's request of the conference which Mr. Moody by the president's direction had with Senators Tillman and Bailey regarding the court review feature. He says he advised the president that he should not at any stage become finally committed beyond recall to any form of language in any part of the bill, and the president affirmed the wisdom of that course. He reviews the discussion of Interlocutory Injunc tions and concludes that there was nothing In the "conversations" be tieen the senators and himself which bound the president to any particular amendment. Senator Tillman talked freely with a number of his callers about the state ment issued by President Roosevelt. He expressed his preference, however, not to be quoted, pointing out that whatever he wished to say on the sub ject of the statement he would say on the floor of the senate. He expects that the question will be brought to the front In some way In the senate today. ' He discussed the president's state ment last night with former Senator Chandler and he urged Mr. Chandler to Issue a statement giving a full his tory of the whole matter. Senator Tillman wanted the fact to go Into the newspapers that he did not In any way initiate the negotiations with the president regarding the Dem Dcratlc support for the railroad rate bill and that he did not ask Senator Chandler to go to the White House.
