Promise to Do So.

The new symphony orchestra under the
direction Of Reginald de KoYen is now

concert OF the new orchestra In the lat
ter part o. April.
The new orchestra is on a fine financial
basis said Mr. de Koyen this morning.

moment TO exchange greetings with sew
eral members Of his stan and others from
the Embassy and then retired to the wait
ing room for a few moments, where he
was greeted by the members Of the recep-
ticn committee.
After a delay Of probably ten minutes
the Prince again emerged and walking
down the long. carpeted pathway, en-
tered his carriage. Assistant Secretary Of
State Hill took a seat beside him. and
Commander COwles sat opposite The
carriage pulled out into the street where
II remained for several minutes, while
the other vehicles were being loaded.
The only annoying feature Of the pro-
ceeding was the Unwarranted int.OsiOn OF
the swarm Of camera fends who had sue
ceeding was the unwarranted intrusion or
crowded beside the carriage in their en-
deavOr to secure snap shots Of the royal
visitor. The Prince was evidently an
nOyed and one Of his cOuntrymen in the
crowd remarked upon the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had not provided the same
protection from annoyance that he pro-
vides for himself. Not content with the
effort as the Prince entered his carriage,
many of the intruders followed the car
riage TO the next stop and stuck their
lenses almost within the vehicle.
But one carriage accompanied the one
occupied by the Prince on che trip TO the
Embassy. At the signal from Secretary
Pierce. Sergeant Harry and his mounted
men dashed up Sixth Street, clearing the
way. and the troops wheeled into line
The officers of the Second Cavalry were
followed by the mounted band which took
no the strains of "El Captain" and the
party crossed Pennsylvania Avenue I'm
uC5iately Preced51s the carriage contain
ing the Prince was Troop T. while the BIZ
cycle squad formed the immediate body
guard
Prince Henry's face Frightened at the
shouts which greeted him as he started
on his trip to the Embassy and he aC-
knOwledged the recognition OF the crowd
with bows and military salutes. The
Prince and his escort proceeded up Sixth
Street 20 Massachusetts Avenue and
thence direct 10 the Embassy on Highland
Terrace Despite the publications to the
contrary many persons thought that the
Prince and his party would again be es-
corted up the Avenue and a number had
gathered along that line in anticipation
of seeing him. They were greatly disap-
pointed when they learned that he had
gone by another route.

PRESIDENT TOIGNORE
THE TILLMAN LETTER

received at the White House yesterday
from Lieutenant Governor TiIman. who
IS nephew of Senator TiIlman.
The presen-ation was to have occurred
during the visit of President Roosevelt to
the South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian Exposition at Charleston.
1t is not definitely decided when this
trip viii be taken. Possibly the trip may
not be taken at all
In case IL is, President Roosevelt Will
hardly present to Major Jenkins the
sword purchased by contributors who are
represented in Lieutenant Governor TILL
mans letter to desire the Presidents
withdrawal OF his acceptance.
1t is believed that these contributors
are mostly friends of Senator T!Ilman
who have seized an opportunity to play
even" with the President for withdrawing
Senator TilIman's invitation 10 the dinner
at the White House on Monday because
Senator Tulman was in contemrs of tn
