Washington, Jan. n. Crowds filled the galleries of the Senate yesterday for the purpose of hear ing Senator Tillman's reply to the accusations contained in Presi dent Roosevelt's. conmunicaition to Senator Hale published Satur day, 'but which did not officially reach the Senator until to-Jay. iNb more serious arraignment of a government official has ever been heard in the Senate than TiMman's speech, which was lis tened to with the deepest interest by Senators and visitors alike. He acouised Che President of "Cunning," "Ad-vertisinf,," "Cow ardice," "Bold and outrageous falsehood," "personal malice," "hatred," o purposely withhold ing facts in his possession and of deliberately misrepresenting con ditions for the purpose of placing the Senator in a bad liHit before the wonld, while at the same time ihaving shown gross disrespect to Senator Hale's committee as well as extreme discourstesy by having made the letter to Hale ipublic through the press on Sat urday beiore it coild be received by Hale Monday and reported to the Senate by his committee. Tillman said the President imakes two charges against him, first he promotes him to mem bership in the Ananias Club and second, that he. exerted his offi cial influence for personal bene fit. The Senator gave a history of the Oregon land transaction. He had a rtp-ht jo buv land. tut fie never attempted to deceive anybody, told no falsehoods. broloe no law and had been guil ty of no immoral conduct. It is easy, He said, for those who are vulnerable to convict others on flimsy - evidence. Tihe President seems to work on that theory. The Senator demands the most searching investigation and is willing to compare for private life and public work with Roose velt. The (general impression - was that Mr. Tilman could not ex plain away all the allegations of the President. The crowd was large and de termined. When the gallery doors were thrown open be tween io and ii yesterday the rush was so great that the Hoor-keeoers could not stop it and in the first mad dash through the doors and dowji the aisle men ran over women, smashing mer ry widow hats, tearing gowns and trampling under feet. In turn the fair ones screamed for help. Many of them were thrown against the end of seats and bruis ed and some stripped of their tni-s wVikOi fell uDon the floor. where the officers later gathered . . . . r .'J them and held tnem up ior iucn tification.

Besides, there is a very accom plished sop ran a soloist. The man ager and director is Mr. Ashton Lewis nimself, a great violinist.

Immediately in trout of the stand sat the members ol the General Assembly, and massed behind and to the side of them were folks from all over the State. The Capitol Square and thereabout was simply mass of humanity, with the Vance statue looming langc over, the assemblage. And a.ong New Bern ave. almost as far as tlm eye could reach stood the troops of the National Guard of tlnj State, cadets, icivic organizations, school children, the fire compa nies and automobiles. As soon as the address was concluded and those near enough had congratulated the new Gov ernor, he proceeded at once to the reviewing stand, acompanied by the chiefs of the various statt departments, and State officers. and the entire parade, military and civic, passed in review. It was a magnificent sight, and the huge crowd applauded to its heart"s content. The reviewing stand was at the New Bern ave.. entrance to th'e Capitol grounds.
