in view OF Saturdays occurrence in the
Senate. 1t was intimated to Senator Tillman
that he should withdraw his acceptance Of
the Presidents invitation to the dinner to
Prince Henry, the President hoping that
under the circumstances the propriety Of
such a course would be apparent to Senator
Tillman. Senator TAlman refused to adopt
the course suggested by his colleague and
fatty declined to withdraw his acceptance.
The President was therefore compelled to
notify him that the invitation to the dinner
was withdrawn. An invitation was then
sent to Senator Martin, the next ranking
democratic member of the committee on
naval affairs.
The letter to Senator Tlllman was as fol-
lows:
MY Dear Sir: The president regrets that
he is compelled to withdraw the Invitation

Policeman Young's Attempt.
At 7th street Policeman Garvey OF the
ninth precinct who was on duty near the
sidewalk, ran to the middle of the street
and attempted to hold the swaying team
His heroic effort was futile. He was
thrown to the ground. He got up badly
bruised, but not seriously injured. DR.. D.
Percy Hicklhg was near by and went at
once to the officer. but the latter declared
he was uninjured.
From 7th to 14th streets the horses sped
in less time almost than it takes to tell Of
the dash. No attempt was made to stop
them between these two points, although
the driver was seen to be pulling violently
but apparently ineffectually at the reins.
AT 14th street a man was seen to make
his way quickly into the street. He seemed
determined to stop the horses AS they ap-
preached he made leap and caught one
and then was tossed aside. He got up
bruised and sore and was taken to his
home at 14O6 street northwest. Samuel
Bait was his name.
By this time two mounted police officers
had started in pursuit of the runaway
team One was riding on either side Of the
carriage and straining every nerve to
catch and take hold Of the brides. The
spectacle was a thoroughly exciting one
and wrought the watching crowds up to
tense pitch.
At 18th street it seemed that the team
would surely be hurled into the crowd in
front OF the treasury and broken to pieces
against the heavy iron fence. The driver,
despite his strenuous trip up the thor
oughfare. had just little more strenth in
reserve, however, and bringing all his
strength to bear on the right-hand line,
turned the horses In a northerly direction
on 18th street, escaping the west curb by
but few inches.
One of the mounted officers had caught
up with the team now and reached over to
take hold Of the harness. In another Sec
ond he, with his horse, was sent sprawling
to the street
Stopped by Colored Men.
Singularly enough the adventure ended at
the east gate of the White House where
the team would have entered in any case.
At that point two brave colored men sprang
forward and seized the horses heads on
either side. They were dragged some dis
tance, but pluckily hung on andthe crowd
closing around. the team was pulled up at
the White House gate. Through 1t all Mr..
Pierce had sat unmoved. He realized his
danger, but knew that nothing could be
done by him and sank back in the seat
to the end Of the ride. when he stepped
down. cooler than any Of the spectators
When he heard Of the accidents that had
occurred through the runaway, he immed-
lately instituted inquiry Of the victims and
offered to render any possible service. He
also sent his personal thanks to the two
colored men and to the driver who had
stood manfully to his task.
