THE OLEOMARGARINE BILL
Senate Committee to Strike Out the
House Amendments.

Washington, Feb. 25,--The Senate COM
mittee on agriculture by a vote OF six to
five. has decided to strike of the obnox-
ious House amendments put on the oleo-
margarine bill. after it was reported from
the committee there. This practically re-
stores the measure to the form that was
acceptable to the farming and dairy in
terests of the country before 1t was
changed by the president and secretary
OF the National Dairymens association
when they went before the House COM
mittee and repudiated the Grout bill,
1t has all along been expected that the
Senate committee would take this action,
and the dairymen have been aiting, with
out making any denunciation of the ac-
ton of the House until they should know
what the Senate would do. The friends of
the bill in the Senate are expressing CON
hdence in its passage. 1t was defeated last
session by the pressure of other important
legislation and the persistence with which
the shipping bill was urged on the con-
sideration of the Senate 1t Is said that
the large western oleo concerns are MAX
ing no effort to prevent the passage Of the
bill, and that II is only from the cattle
raisers and some small oleo men that any
opposition 10 encountered.

TlLLMAN COULD NOT ATTEND
President Withdrew Invitation for Him
TO Attend Dinner at White House.

Washington. Feb. 24.--'rhe President has
withdrawn the invitation extended to Sen
ator Tillman of South Carolina, to attend
the dinner given tonight in honor of
Prince Henry of Prussia at thu White
House 1t is stated this action on the par1
Of the President was made necessary from
the fact that owing to the occurrences on
the floor of the Senate last Saturd y the
senator from South Carolina was declared
in contempt of the Senate. Senator Mar
tin of Virginia. a member of the commit
tee on naval affairs, accepted an invita-
ton to take Tillmans place. The invita-
ton was extended originally to Mr. Till
man. owing to the fact that he is the
ranking minority member of the naval
aftaiys committee
There was a sensational sequel to the
decision of the President to eliminate Sen
ator 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 Tillman to suggest
to the latter the propriety of withdrawing
his acceptance of the dinner invitation
The President explained his attitude in the
matter and said that in view of the con-
tempt proceedings Tilmans presence
would not only be an affront to the Senate
but dlscourtesy to Prince Henry Mr.
C1Ckrell accepted the commission and later
telcphoned to the President that Senator
Tillnan absolutely refused to withdraw his
acceptance in response to the President $
suggestion.
The President then Immediately can
cclled the invitation in a note despat ed
directly to eSnator Tilman shortly before
noon to-day. In this note which was very
brief and formal the President stated that
he regretted he was obliged to withdraw
the invitation.
