COmmedia." He fancied he fondled
her in his arms and kissed her in his
dreams. She was to him greater in
spiration than the pictured Muse in
the Vatican at Rome. And in his
Vita Nouva,' he sang this patriotic
strain:
"Then Love said, Now shall all things
be made clear;
Come and behold our lady where she
lies;
These 'wildering fantasies
Then carried me to see my lady dead.
Even as [ there was led,
Her ladies with a veil were covering
her;
And with her was such very humble
ness,
That she appeared to say, L am at

Following IN Exceedingly Acrimonious De-

Vicious Encounter Ensaed-Both
Combatants Apologized.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The senate
on Saturday listened to the farewell
address of Washington, which was
read by Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan. Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
sets then presented a memorial for
a constitutional amendment to enable
congress to enact laws regarding the
hours of labor in the various states.
When the routine business was con-
cluded Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, resumed his speech in oppo-
sition to the pending Philippine tariff
bill, in the course of which he made
some remarks rejecting on his col
league, Senator McIaurin. McLaurin
arose and said that Tillman's state
ment regarding him was a "willful
and deliberate and malicious lie."
Tillman jumped over chairs and
struck McLaurin in the face. A
vicious encounter ensued. Both men
clinched and struck frantically ut each

Bis Invitation to Attend Prince
Henry Dinner Withdrawn.
President Roosevelt Took Action After
Senate Had Declared Him to BE In Con.
tempt-Tillman Calls It "Indscsnt"
and IL Bitter Toward President.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The president
Monday withdrew his invitation ex-
tended to Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, to attend the dinner given
Monday night in honor of Prince
Henry of Prussia at the white house.
This action on the part of the presi-
dent was made necessary from the
fact that owing to occurrences on the
floor of the senate last Saturday the
senator from South Carolina was de-
clared in contempt of the senate.
The invitation was extended ORR
ginally to Mr.. Tillman owing to
the fact that he is the ranking minor.
ity member of the naval affairs COM
mittee.
Commenting upon the letter Mr..
Tillman said: "The president, Of
course, has the right to invite any
one he chooses to dine with him Off
cially or otherwise and also has the
right to withdraw such invitation. As
I am not conscious of having done
anything personal or official which
gives the president the right to in
suit, I am surprised at his action.
The invitation to the dinner came to
me unsought and Unexpectedly and
SO far as the withdrawal is concerned
1t IL a matter of absolute Indifference
to me. 1t is the motive behind it
which seeks to put me in the condi-
ton of unworthiness to meet the
president and his guests before final
action by the senate. Prince Hen.
ry, the presidents guest, comes from
a country. where custom makes it
obligatory upon any man who regards
himself gentleman to promptly re-
sent an insult and the method in
by challenge to a duel. That was
once the custom but now it is obso-
lete in the United States and we have
been forced as q people here to cling
to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of con-
sidering the lie direct as the first blow
and no man could hold up his head in
decent society should he, being near
enough to answer the lie with blow
not to give. The president has no
right to judge me guilty of conduct
unbecoming gentlemen unless he
bellies all his antecedents which led
one to believe that he would have
done just as / did under the circum-
stances. As to which of us is the
gentleman in this matter, in view of
the unsought invitation to dinner at
the white house and it's indecent
withdrawal am willing to abide by
the Judgment of all brave and self
men,"
