BY A STRICT PARTY VOTE.
Senate Passed the Philippine Tariff Bill
Tilman and McLaurln Not Allowed
to Partici pate.

Washington, Feb. 25.-After eight
hours of tumultuous debate yester-
day the senate shortly before seven
o'clock in the evening passed the Phil
ippine tariff bill by vote of 46 to &c,
a strictly party vote. Senator Till
man and Senator McLaurin, the two
senators from South Carolina, who
on Saturday last were declared by the
senate to be in contempt because of
their fight in the chamber, were not
permitted by voice or by vote to par
ticipate in the proceedings. The
question as to their right to vote pre-
cipitated sharp debate, lasting near
ly two hours. The president pro tenn,
Senator Frye, held that the two SEN
ators could not vote and he was sus-
tanned by majority of the senate.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill Senator McComas and Senator
Wellington, of Maryland, became in
volved in a controversy, during the
course of which the latter declared
that if Senator McCOmas should
make his statements outside of the
senate chamber he would brand them
as a malicious falsehood. He was
called to order promptly and resumed
his seat amid considerable excite
ment.

ment that Lieut.. Stroller, of the First

The officials of the war department.
regard the capture of Lucban as the
most important military event since
Aguinaldo's capture. He was run
down on the island of Samar. The
place of his confinement is tiny is
land in bay on the north coast of
Samar. Lucban is one of the most
energetic and ferocious of rebels. He
is half-breed, mixture of Chinese
and Filipino stock, and he has been
an irreconcilable from the first. He
had various Businesses in the noun
tains of Samar from which he would
descend upon the coast towns and his
reign of terror was so complete that
the entire population of the island
paid tribute to him as the price of
freedom from attack.

James H. Tillman, who had asked

telegram Lieut.. Gov. Tillman said:
SIT is with much regret that I am
directed, or rather required, to have

view of the fact that I am so closely
related to one who, but a few days
ago, was subjected to an affront which
was, seemingly, or at least the peo-

METEOR LAUNCHED.
The Kaiser's Vessel Glides Grace
fully into the Water.
Miss Roosevelt Christens Yacht-Chesr Ar.
ter Cheer for the Pres dent, the Prince
and Miss Observation-Disclosures Pre-
sented Presidents Daughter

New York, Feb. 26.-The all-impor-
tant event in the itinerary of Prince
Henry of Prussia yesterday was the
launching of the schooner yacht
Meteor, built at Shooters island for
the princes brother, the German en-
peror. The christening ceremony was
performed by Miss Alice Roosevelt,
daughter of the president of tbs
United States, in the presence of the
president, the prince, German Ambas-
sador Won Holleben and a brilliant
assemblage.
The president and prince, with Mrs.
and Miss Roosevelt, arrived on the
platform at 1922. The prince con-
Quoted Miss Roosevelt to the small
platform Immediately under the bow
of the boat. In drilling rain, amid
the roar of cannon, great cheering
and waving of flags, the Meteor was
launched. Precisely at 1O:39 Miss
Roosevelt raised the bottle of cham
payne, which had been encased in
beautiful silver f1ligree and which
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1902-03-01
MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT.

was suspended by a 35-foot silver
chain. Dashing the bottle against the
side of the vessel with vigorous and
effective hand, the wine breaking into
spray, Miss Roosevelt said in English:
SIN the name of the German emperor
I christen thee Meteor" Her voice
was loud and clear and could be dis
tinctly heard on all the surrounding
platform. Then she raised a silver
AK and severed the rope holding the
weight which kept the ship in the
ways and the vessel went gracefully
into the water.
Simultaneously cannon doomed and
the noise of the gun was lost in that
resulting from the roar of human
voices, aided by the royal German
band, the naval militia band and sew
eral bands on board the various ves-
sells surrounding the island, whose
occupants were not privileged to land.
Every hat was raised and then there
was cheer after cheer for the presi-
dent, the prince and Miss Roosevelt.
Soon after the launching the presi-
Dental party and the prince proceed
ed to the hall where a luncheon had
been prepared. The health of the
prince was drunk and then Prince
Henry said: son this occasion I wish
to call for three hearty cheers for
the president of the United States,
Mr.. Roosevelt, hip, hip, hoorah." AS
the prince spoke he waived his arms
as a signal and the building shook
with responding cheers. Then Presi-
dent Roosevelt raised his right, hand
and when there was silence said: ''I
ask three cheers for the guest who
has already won our hearts, Henry
of Prussia. Now d good one"
President RooseVelt's hip, hip,
hoorah was drowned N the roar of
applause that greeted the call for
cheers. Then the prince and presi-
dent shook hands warmly and as the
party started to leave the hall some
one among the invited guests shout
ed: ''Mr. President, I offer three
cheers for the young lady who has
had the honor of launching the
Meteor" The cheers were given.
The presidential party and the prince
and his suite then left for the Hohen-
zollern for luncheon.
Prior to the luncheon golden
bracelet in which is set small pic
ture of Kaiser Wilhelm was present
ed by Prince Henry to Miss Alice
Roosevelt. The bracelet is studded
with diamonds and other precious
stones. It was the kaiser's gift.
In the evening Prince Henry, his
suite and the presidential delegates
were the guests of the mayor of New

club and the day was brought to
close with a wonderful performance
at the Metropolitan opera house.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Prince Henry Visited the President Monday
Afternoon and Was Guest at Dinner
in the Evening.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Prince Henry
arrived in Washington at 1920 yes
terday morning. He was met by Sec
retaries Hay and Long, Count Quadt
and two other attaches of the German
embassy. Ten minutes later he left
for the white house. Intermingled
with the crowd at the depot was a
small army of secret service men, de-
tectives and policemen. Special pre-
cautions had been taken to insure
the safety of the prince and his cor
tege and to keep the people from
pressing closely upon the, party at
any stage of it's journey through the
public places in the city.
Arriving at the white house the
party was conducted through the
main lobby into the red parlor, thence
into the east room and from there
the prince was conducted through the
green room to the blue parlor, where
the president was in waiting to re-
ceive him. In conformity with diplo-
matte etiquette the president received
the royal visitor in private and with
out introduction. This was made
necessary by the fact that there is
now in the United States no repre-
sentative of the German nation of
sufficient high rank to present to the
president a prince of the royal blood,
a brother and personal representative
of the German emperor.
The prince was warmly greeted
when he visited the senate and house
or representatives in the afternoon.
He not only saw the houses of the
American congress at work, but in
the senate he witnessed one of those
intensely dramatic moments which
occasionally come in that body at the
conclusion of a great debate.
The dinner given to Prince. Henry
by President Roosevelt at the white
house last night closed the honors
bestowed on the royal visitor by Off
cia1 Washington yesterday. The af-
fair was on an elaborate scale and
brought together a most distin-
guished company.

A SLAP AT TTLLMAN.
His Invitation to Attend Prince
Henry Dinner Withdrawn.
President Roosevelt Took Action After
Senate Had Declared Him to Be in Con-
tempt-TIIIman Calls Tt "Indeceut"
and Is 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, L am surprised at his action.
The invitation to the dinner came to
me unsought and unexpectedly and
so far as the withdrawal is concerned
it iC 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
n country where custom makes it
obligatory upon any man who regards
himself a gentleman to promptly re-
sent an insult and the method is
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 a 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 a blow
not to give. The president has no
right to judge me guilty of conduct
unbecoming a 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 I am willing to abide by
the judgment of all brave and self
respecting men,

names of the two South Carolina SEN
ators to the senate roll. When asked
if the result of this action would be

ators to either vote or speak, Senator
Frye replied that it would not and
that was question which must be
decided by the senate.
