Washington, Feb. 27.-At noon today
in the great Hall of Representatives in
the presence of President Roosevelt,
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the
German Emperor, the members Of the
Cabinet, the justices of the Supreme
court, the General of the Army and Of
ficers of the army and navy who have
received the thanks of Congress, the
Ambassadors and other diplomatic rep
resentatives of foreign countries, the
Senators and Representatives in Con-

ley's premier, pronounced eulogy upon
his dead chief. By a strange coincidence
today was the twentieth anniversary OF
that on which the peerless Blaine in
the same hall, delivered his eulogy upon
the martyred Garfield, and stranger
still, the subject of today's memorial
service was the chairman of the COM
mittee that had charge of the arrange

The precedent in the case of the Gar

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 27-It is stated
here today that Lieutenant Governor
Tillman's action last night in withdraw
ing the invitation to President Roosevelt
to present the sword to Major jenkins
will have no effect on the exposition pro-
gramme for the entertainment, even If
it is allowed to stand. The sword pre-
sentation was an incident only of the
Presidents visit to Charleston and in no
way connected with the exposition pro-
gramme. The sword was purchased with
a fund raised by subscription among
the women of South Carolina and others,
alrgely under Lieutenant Governor TILL
mans stimulation. The arrange ments
for the presentation were left With him.
1t was not intended originally to have
the President make the presentation, but
in view of his expected presence here at
the exposition, the opportunity was
deemed fitting for such a feature. The
invitation was extended by Lieutenant
Governor Tillman and place for the
ceremony was made on the programme
by the exposition committee at his re-
quest The whole matter it outside of
exposition or Charleston control.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The action Of
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, OF South
Carolina, in withdrawing the invitation
to President Roosevelt to present a
sword to South Carolina officer for
volunteer services in the Spanish War,
has caused considerable doubt as 10
whether President Roosevelt will visit
the Charleston Exposition, as he had in
tended to do. Today a number of tele-
grams on the subject were received at
the White House from South Carolina
and other States. 1t can be stated that
the telegram of Lieutenant Governor
TIllman has been received at the White
House, and that no attention whatever
has been paid to it, The President has
not yet considered what effect it may
have on his proposed visit to the expo
sition at Charleston.

The deceased was an aged colored wo-
man and came to Salisbury from Wash

her nephew until December, when he
died. Since that time she has been liv-
