New York, March 2.-The Times says:
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman of South |
Carolina was a caller on Senator Platt at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. The talk lasted
over an hour. One of the principal topics
of conversation was the proposed visit of
President Roosevelt to the Charleston ex-
position.
Senator Tllman is said to have been
very explicit in his assertion that it would
not be polite for President Roosevelt to
make visit to South Carolina, owing to
the state of public feeling there over the
Tillman-McLaurin incident, and the with
dnwal of President Roosevelt's invitation
to the senator to meet Prince Henry at
dinner at the White House, which was
followed by the telegram from Lieutenant
Governor Tillman of South Carolina, can
ceiling the invitation to present sword
to Major Jenkins. Senator Platt, when
asked about the interview, said:
Il have had a talk with Senator Till
man. The facts which have been brought
to my attention will be laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt. l shall advise the presi-
dent not to 60 to Charleston"
Senator Platt declined to discuss the
matter further.
Butler Invited President.
Washington, March 2.-EX Senator NJ
s. Butler of South Carolina called on the
president to express the earnest hope that
the Tillman- McIaurin episode and the let
ter of Lieutenant Governor 1lllman would
not interfere with the presidents plans fol
visiting the Charleston exposition.
The president replied that Lieutenan
Governor Tillman's letter would have II,
effect on his course, but did not say def
nitely whether he proposed to make tn
trip to Charleston OF not.
Sword Is Declined.
Tarrenton, S. c., March 2.-Maio
Micah Ii. Jenkins has declined to accep
the sword which it was proposed to pre-
sent to him at Charleston, 5. c., when tin
president visited that place. Major Jenk
ms, who is a member of the faculty of tn
bethel military academy, has sent the TO
loving telegram to Lieutenant GoVerno
Tillman of South Carolina:

Hundreds of Homeless.

More than hundred homeless ram
lilies are sheltered in the fifth regi-
ment armory. Citizens from all parts
of the city have poured in loads OF
blankets, clothing and provisions. City
employees of every department worked
like beavers in their efforts to relieve
the distressed. There was a lack of
boats to cope with the emergency and
wagon load was sent over from
Newark in good time to give excel
lent service.
In the work of rescue Henry Rich
ards, carpenter, lost his life. After
making several trips, on each of which
he brought three or four persons, his
boat was upset and he was swept
away in the waters which were rush
ing with the force of a mill race.
Two alarms of fire were turned in
during the afternoon and it looked as
il the elements were combining to
destroy the city.
The firemen who were helping to re
move the people from the district
were forced to take three hours tC
fight the flames Neither loss was
large, but as a brisk wind was blow
ing the danger was great.
On Hamilton avenue. near the river
two new buildings were undermined
by the flood, collapsed and were sweep
away. The Arch street bridge col
lapsed in the afternoon and all the
other bridges are completely sub
merged. The boiler and engine rooms
Of several of the big mills are 10 fee
under water.

PATERSON, Nd, IS FLOODED
PARTS OF CITY INUNDATED.
Hundreds of Families Are Homeless
Surrounding Country Under
Water-Prepared for the Worst
Second Calamity to the City i'm
n Month-Two Fires.

Paterson. n. j., March 4.-This city.
so recently swept by fire, is now over
whelmed with flood. Three weeks ago
the greater part of its business section
was burned out and today the quarters
occupied by poorer classes are mum
dated. Hundreds of families are home
less and the country for miles around
the city is under water. So far but
one death has been reported.
The great peril now is that the
Spruce street raceway which supplies
water power for all mills along the
water front may overflow This would
cause great loss to the manufacturing
districts Expert engineers have
placed dynamite below the Spruce
street bridge and if necessary it will
be touched off.
This will open a new channel for
the volume of water held there. and
diverting it, save good deal of prop
erty.
The fire of three weeks ago, while
causing damage to property to the
amount of nearly ten millions, did not
create such suffering and widespread
desolation as the food of today.
The district for a mile along the
river front from Spruce street hill t
Straight street and two blocks nOrtl
and five south of the river, nearly ;
mile in width. is covered with water
and in some places to the second stor,
of the dwellings. In this district ar
situated the Rogers Locomotive work
and several silk mills and dye works
Nearby live fully 600 families VIII
have been driven from their tent
ments Several hundred of these pee
pie were taken from their houses i
boats and barges amid scenes of niue
excitement.

PROTECTION FROM STRIKERS.

Reports have been circulation for the last week
that a movement is in progress among the en-
ployers in the building trades to take concerted
action of some kind with a view to protecting them
selves incessant strikes. Every large building
which goes up this city is delayed in its erection
by building strikes. and while number OF the
large contractors who were seen yesterday were
unwilling put themselves on record regarding
this movement, they left ii to be understood that a
meeting be called for the purpose.
Action in the affair it was said yesterday. is like
lY o haStened by the present strike OF the
AmaIgamated Painters and Decorators Society.
The plain and decorative painters have demanded
cents increase in wages. and while the
plain painters have in many instances gained their
demands the Association OF Interior Decorators
the decorative painters has decided TO stand firm
in its refusal of the demand and fight all sympa-
thetiC strikes.
Emil Baumgarten. chairman of the executive com
litee of the association said yesterday that moth
ing would change its decision Even if the board of
building trades ordered a general sympathetic
strike the association. he said. would not weaken.
