A REBUKE FOR TILLMAN
President Withdrew Invitation to
Attend White House Dinner.
Senator Rejected . Friendly Suggestion
That He Recall HIS Acceptance Of It.
Status Of South Carolina Senators.

Washington. D. C.-The Tillman-Mc'
Laurin incident in the Senate Saturday
figured as conspicuously ut the White
House Monday as in the Senate. Three
phases of the problem that grew out or
Mr.. Tillman's assault on Mr.. McLaucin
attracted considerable attention.
To begin with. Mr. McLaurin'
through his friend Senator Pritchard'
OF North Carolina. demanded an in
yestipation, rs told in the Senate pro-
ceedings. Of the charge brought Dy
Senator Tillman that his colleague was
moved by improper influences in cast
ing his vote Tor the ratification OF .he
treaty with Spain. In the second
place Senator Tillman. VINO had been
Invited to dine with Prince Henry.
at the White House. received word
from the President that the invitation
was withdrawn. and issued 4 state
mept concerning the Withdrawal! or
the invitation, IT, which he expressed
great resentment ut the Presidents s
course. In the thir'l place. the Demo-
cratic Senators set up the plea that the
South Carolina Senators were entitled
to vote on the Philippine taria bill.
notwithstanding they had been de'
clared to be In contemp. Of the Sem
ate.
There was a sensational sequel to
the decision OF the President to elim-
mate Senator rillman from the list
OF dinner guests. The President sent
for Senator Cockrell. Of Missouri. ana
asked him = a friend and Democratic
colleague Of Mr.. Ti;lman, to suggest
to tie iatte:: the propriety Of with
drawing his acceptance OF the dinner
invitation. The President explained
his attitude In the matter and sa!d that'
n view Of the contempt proceedings.
Mr.. Tillman's presence would not only
be an afYront to the Senate. but dis
courtesy to Prince Henry.
Mr.. Cockrell accepted the commits
sion and later telephcned to the Presl-
dent that Mr.. Tillman absolutely re-
fused to withdraw his acceptance. In
response to the Presidents suggestion.
The President then Immediately can
celed the invitation In q note he dis
patched directly to Mr.. Tillman short
" before noon. in this note. which
was very brief and formal. the Presi-
dent stated he regretted that he was
obliged to withdraw the invitation.
Simultaneously Senator Martin. Of Vlr.
ginla, was invited to take Mr.. TIL
mans place at the dinner as the next
ranking Democratic member OF the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
Senator Frye. President pro tenn. OF
the Senate. gave directions to the
clerks Of the Senate that the names
Of Senators Tillman and McLaurin. OF
South Carolina. must not be called on
roll calls until further notice. This
fixes the status Of the Senators. who
are practically suspended from oil Sem
atorial functions.

The President arose directly to an

Il wish to express m! nearly thanks
for the kind words your Royal High
ness has expressed on my behalf. and
I wish you II understand that 1t Is no
empty compliment that your Royal
Highness has already won genuine

wish OF my own Is to say that l look
forward with great pleasure to the
day on which shall be your guest In
your quality as Admiral en- board OF

After the luncheon the Presidential
party were driven to the West Twen'

gates. left the Hohenzollern at 3.25
o'clock. and the royal party boarded
the Vigllant. which steamed to the
Battery. taking the Prince on his trip
to the City Hail.
The freedom of the city Of New York
was conferred uron Prince Henry. Not
since the visit OF Lafayette In 1924 has
this honor been bestowed Upon q for
elgner.
The Prince entered the City Hall
at 4.12 o'clock. The Mayors Recep-
ton Committee assembled In the Gov.
ernor's room. where Prince Henry and
his suite were conducted after divest-
Ing themselves Of their cloaks and over
coats. The Prince was greeted by
Mayor Low. who introduced the mem.
bers of the Reception Committee and
several Of the city officials to the dis.
tinguished guest.
Prince Henry was escorted to the
Aldcrmanic Chamber. where the Board
Of Aldermen was In session. President
Fornes spoke few words Of welcome
and then Mayor Low delivered an ad-
dress comforting upon Prince Henry the
freedom of the city Of New York.
Prince Henry made felicitous reply.
The Aldermen's resolutions had been
artistically engrossed by Tiffany. They
Were illuminated on heavy sheepskin
and locked In rosewood and silver

face with the crossed flags Of Germany
and America. On the top Of the box

casket was received by the Prince and
placed In the keeping Of one Of his
officers.
Prince Henry. with his suite. then
returned to the Hohenzollern. and af'
ter brief rest started for the Million.
aires Club. where he was the guest OF
Mayor Low and 100 representative
American citizens.
Prince Henry occupied the centre OF
the stage at the Metropolitan Opera
House In one of the most spectacular
performances In the operate annals ol
this city. The occasion was described
as a gala performance OF grand opera
(under the direction Of Maurice Grau
in honor Of the visit" Of the Prince
but the performance was OF secondary
consideration. People went to the
Opera House to see the Prince. and
the centre CT the stage was directly
opposite to the point where 1t usually
Is. 1t was ut the centre Of the grand
tier OF boAes where sat the young scior
Of the house Of HohenzOllern.
1t was said unOfficlally that the re-
ceIpts were nearly $6S.O00. The cost
Of the performance did not exceed
$1,000. All the principal singers r.
ceived only half their customary fees
If they had been paid In full the cost
Of the performance would not have
exceeded $4,000.
The decorations could not certainly
have exceeded $4,000 In price. and
the profit to the theatre will In al
/ probability amount to more than $40.
600. Certainly Prince Henry never be
fore heard such collection Of singers
rs those that appeared before him. and
no operate performance in the world
probably ever drew such large sun
OF money.
Prince Henry. with Rear-Admiral
Evans left the Metropolitan Opera
House at about 1890 o'clock. The
route back to the Hohenzollern lay
down Broadway to Thirty-fourtt
street and then to the pier. where the
imperial yacht Is lying Soon after
the Prince ard his suite were aboard
the Hohenzollern the lights were out
and not only darkness but silence set
