The White House Being Rsmodslsd
and Rebuilt.
The Steel Trust Making One Hundred
and Forty Million Per year Net
Profit.

WAsHINcToS July IS, iooa.-
"No admission" is the greeting
that meets the visitor in Washington
who attempts to enter the White
House grounds, and many have ex-
pressed serious disappointment at
their inability to inspect the home
of the President. But it should
prove some compensation to loyal
Americans to know that for the
first time since 1881 the White
House is receiving a thorough
renovation. Those who have visit
ed the building in recent years can
testify to the necessity for such an
overhauling. As the wealth and
greatness of the country have in
creased the demands on the ex-
ecutive mansion have grown and for
some years its accommodations have
not been sufficient to secure to the
President and his family that COM
fort and privacy to which they are
entitled. The Office force has grown
constantly and new rooms have had
to be converted into Offices until but
small portion of the second floor
OF the building was available for
residence purposes and ordinarily
more than half of the first floor was
open to the public during certain
hours of the day. When the present
renovation. is completed and the new
office building, which Is being erect
ed just West of the White House,
is finished the entire second floor
will be restored to its original
purpose, a residence for the Presi-
dent and his family.
I tt
In the basement, on the East end
of the building, there are to be
reception. and cloak-rooms .and the
present entrance on that end will be
greatly enlarged. There all persons
having occasion to call at the Presi-
dents home will enter. the former
main door being reserved for the ex-
elusive use of the family. Persons
who have occasion to call on the
President on business will be direct
ed to the new Office building at the
west side of the grounds. This
building will have accommodation
for the entire clerical force hereto
fore located in the White House and
will alsonbe provided with large
Cabinet room, private Office for
the President and one for his sec
retaiy, reception room of generous
proportions, a room for telegraph
and telephone purposes and a
comfortable room for the use of
newspaper correspondents. where
every convenience will be afforded
them for obtaining and preparing
the news.

THE FAMOUS LIAR ourDoSE.

This is what the Wheeling News
says of once famous correspondent
who dated his dispatches at Parkers-
burg: "The Parkersburg newspaper
liar has been distanced. He has
been sent to the bleachers full of
sorrow and of the disappointment
that cometa of vain striving. A
man out at Rowlesburg, VIVA. has
risen. spector-like from the laurel
and is riling the soul of the Parkers-
burg gentleman. Here is what the
genius knocked out the Parkersburg
imitation with:
'sBen Johnson, handler of nitro
glycerine, had hog running about
his place that was constantly licking
waste glycerine from the empty cans.
The other evening the brute got too
familiar with half-flled pail of the
stuff and Johnson hit him with a
stone. The pig, blew up, and not
even an ear has been found"

withdrawn his invitation extended TO Sem
ator Tillman of South Carolina to attend

OF the committee on naval affairs. has
accepted an invitation to Mr. Tillman's =
place. The invitation was extended orig
inally 10 Mr.. Tillman, owing TO the fact
that he is the ranking minority member
OF the naval affairs committee.

Senator Tillman from the list of dinner
guests. The president sent for Senator
COckrell of Missouri and asked him as a
friend and Democratic colleague OF Mr.
Tillman to suggest TO the latter the
propriety OF Withdrawing his acceptance
OF the dinner Invitation.
The president explained his attitude in
the matter ana said that in view of the
contempt proceedings Mr.. Tillman's pres
once WOulu not Only DC an aurOnt 10 the
senate, but dscourtesy 10 Prince Henry.
Mr. Cockrell accepted the commission
and later telephoned TO the President that
Mr.. Tillman absolutely refused 10 with
draw his acceptance In response to the
presidents suggestion.
The president then Immediately can
celed the invitation I'm a note he dts
patched directly 10 Mr. Tillman shortly
before noon today
In this note which was very brief and
formal. the president stated he regretted
that he was obliged TO withdraw the in
vitation. simultaneously Senator Martin
Of Virginia was invited to take Mr.. Till
mans place at the dinner as the next
ranking Democratic member OF the senate
naval affairs committee.
NAMES NOT TO BE CALLED.
Washington, Feb Ex-senator Frye,
president pro tempore of the senate gave
directions TO the clerks Of the senate to-
day that the names OF Senator'S Tillman
and McLaurin of South Carolina must
not be called on roll calls until further
notice.
This fixes the status OF the senator's who
are practically suspended from all sena-
torial functions.
