PRESIDENT IS CALLED A LIAR
I
Climax in bitter controversy came last night when
Senator Baily called president "malicious liar".?
Chandler reiterates statement against president
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Washington, May 17. ? In a fever heat
of passion and midst an uproar on the
floor of the senate. Senator B?iley, of
Texas, last night called President
Roosevelt a "malicious liar," marking
the climax in one of the bitterest and
most sensational controversies that has
ever characterized American politics.
Senator Tillman also used the word
?'liar" in the debate in a way that would j
imply its application to the president. I
Senator Bailey's attack on the pres
ident was made during a special privi
lege speech made in reply to an accu- 1
sation in yesterday's Chicago Tribune,
that Senator Bailey was responsible
for the failure of President Koosevelt
and Senator Tillman to reach an agree- j
ment on the rate bill in accordance with
the advances made by the president.
.Senator Bailey said the dispatch was
sent by a correspondent very close to
the president, and he intimated that
the latter was responsible for it. Then
he denounced the statement as a mal
icious lie, the correspondent who sent
it, he said, "is an unqualifiedliar, and I
| denounce him who inspired it, I care
[ not how high ti e office he holds, as a
| malicious liar." Senator Bailey showed
intense feeling throught the the speech
'and his words in denunciation of the
president were roared forth in tones
which startled and electrified the
entire assemblage. They were followed
by great excitement and uproar.
Newipaper Man Replies
Raymond, the Chicago Tribune cor
respondent, through whom Senator
Bailey called the president a liar
wired his paper that he had received
the data, on whioh he based his article
blaming Senator Bailey for the rupture
between President Roosevelt and Sen
ator Tillman, upon a signed memoran
dum from Chandler in which he in
formed the administration that Senator
lillman suspected the good faith of
Senator Bailey und feared that he was
playing into the hands of Senators
Aldrioh, Spoonar, Foraker and the
railroads.
Sanaior Tlllmnn Reiterate! Charges
Senator Tillman got another letter j
from Chandler in the congressional i
record last night. The letter was ad
dressed to Senator Tillman. In it'
Chandler reaffirms the truth of his
former statement that President Roose
velt told bim that be recognized Sen
ators Spooner, Foraker and Knox as
the senatorial lawyers of the railroads
and that be had broken with tbem. He
said the president's language was so
extreme that there could be no mistak
ing it. It was so strong that he could
not repeat all of it. He says the pres
ident's impulsiveness has doubtless
lead him into an error. Then he re
tells the particulars of the White
House meeting. Cbendler says he re
gard* the turn of affairs as fortunate.
He says if the old imperial days have re
turned as they were when Senator
Lodge cut off his bead and carried it to
President Roosevelt, he will speak no
more, and never again be a missionary
between President Roosevelt and the
democrats.|
After making the statement and in
troducing the letter, Senator Tillman
said. "I cannot call the president a
liar, but there are the facts and the au
thority for my statement."

BffORE CZAR
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, May 17. ? The Rus
sian douma is still discussing the reply
to the czar's address. It has passed
the sections demanding general amnes
ty, the abolition of the death sentence,
the suspension of martial law and the
reform of the bureaucracy. Some of
the speeches delivered are very bitter.
The statement was made this morning
that if the czar refuses all concessions
to the people he will meet the same
fate which befell Louis XVI, of
France.
It is announced today that the czar is
ready to make concessions. The offer
is to grant political amnesty and to re
place the Goremykin ministry with a
cabinet chosen from the parliament,
It is believed that the czar will issue
r proclamation granting partial am
nesty on his birthday, May 19, for the
purpose of delaying the crisis which
all feel is approaching.
