The Prince invited Gen. Boynton and
Commissioner Evans to accompany
him to Nashville, and they were his
guests at luncheon. The others at the
table were Admiral Evans, Admiral
T1rpitz, Gen. Won Pessen and Lieut.
Commander Won Egidy. At the table
the Prince again expressed his pleas
ure at having seen Lookout Mountain
and battlefields, and thanked Gen.
Boynton for his description of the
campaigns.
The route through the Cumberland
mountains offered some stretches of
pretty scenery. The streams were high
and rapid and filled the gorges below
the train. The Prince had a day of
sightseeing, and when not otherwise
engaged, kept up an animated line of
questioning and comment with Ad-

A Present of Peach Brandy.
The reception that he got at Bowling
Green pleased him fully as much as
the larger ones. Judge Simms, ven-
cradle citizen, mounted the rear plat

of Kentucky, presented the Prince
some fine old peach brandy and some
whisky. The Prince gravely accepted
the gift and faithfully promised the

DR.. BURNETT CONVICTED.
Chicago Jury Finds Him Guilty and
Recommends Fifteen Years.

Chicago, March 2.-The jury in the
case of DR.. Oryille S. Burnett, who
has been on trial charged with the
murder of Mrs. Charlotte S. Nichol,
of Nashville, Tenn, returned a YER
dict of guilty and recommended that
Burnett be sent to the penitentiary for
fifteen years. Burnett's attorneys will
ask for a new trial tomorrow. The
verdict was a surprise as owing to
Judge Bakers Instructions to the jury
were considered favorable to the de-
PENDANT.
The case was one of the most I'M
usual that has ever been tried in the
Cook County Criminal Court. Burnett,
who is a young dentist, was charged
with being accessory before and after
the act to the death of Mrs. Nichol,
even though it was admitted by the
prosecution that Mrs. Nichol had
committed suicide. The state endeav-
ored to establish the point that Bur-
nett and Mrs. Nichol agreed to COM
NIT suicide together and that the man
weakened allowing the woman to go
to her death alone. The defense dis
puted that there had been any agree
ment between the two to end their
lives together, asserted Mrs. Nichol
had taken her own life, while Burnett
was lying intoxicated by her side

Charge of FIunkeyism.
New York, March 2.-Under the
auspices of the Clan Na-Ga the
124th anniversary of the birth of Rob-
ert Emmett was celebrated tonight
at the Academy of Music. A large
crowd was in attendance. State Sem
ator Victor ]. Bowling presided.
United States Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman of South Carolina delivered
the grafton.
Resolutions were adopted condemn
ing England's colonial policy, depre-
eating entangling alliances by the
United States with European nations:
sympathizing with the Beers; protest
ing against the United States govern
ment allowing England to use the
United States ports for the fitting out
of vessels in which to ship her horses
and mules, and pledging the people or
Ireland hearty support in their strug-
gle for freedom.
Senator Tillman was received with
great applause. He said:
Il am no orator and if 1 have any
claim to it, it is because 1 speak the
truth and fight the devil with fire."
Well" came a voice from the au-
you're a good fighter
A little later he said:
II was afraid 1 would have to post
pone my visit because of an incident
you all probably recently read about,
that occurred to me in Washington,
but one of your committee came to
Washington and with his Irish elo-
quence made me promise to be on
hand unless l was in Jail. Now, here
| am, so take a good look at me, for
| am going to talk plainly"
Senator Tillman then launched into
an attack upon England for tramp
ling upon the Irish people.
For eight long centuries the Irish
have been trampled upon and murdered
not be amiss to here state that bicker-
ings and petty squabbles among Ire
lands own sons have been responsible
for her condition to-day. They make
grand soldiers for her away from home,
but fail to show their qualities in her
own behalf"
Turning from this subject. he said in
strenuous tones:
IF being a turnkey and apeing no.
billty and establishing a system that
is akin to England's policy is making
Tories of us, then 1 think we are there
at last, or at least the government at
Washington has got there. England
can squint, and shaking it's thumb at
us, say, Your work in the Philippines
| is as bad as ours in the Transvaal.'
| Why have we got such a government?
| There is the rub. Why do you pass
resolutions such as you have tonight
and on other occasions, and then go
out and vote for those who are sitting
liberty at Washington? We are losing
our love for our institutions, and il
we continue thus we will go the way
of other republics"
Senator Tillman then said the Amer
lean people were slaves to partyism,
and could get along without a boss"
who he predicted in time would betray
the people.

ARESORE ON TILLMAN
LATEST FEATURE sTIRs UP SOUTH
CAROLINA,
NO DANGER TO PRESIDENT
WOULD BE AS SAFE IN CHARLES
TON AS AT CAPITAL.

Report Is True-NOt the slightest
DiscOurtesy Would BE shown, He
Says, and President Would BE
HOnOred as Head of the Nation.
TiIlman Drunk with Pride ana
EgOtism, Says the Columbia State.
Much Feeling Aroused.
Columbia. S. c., March 1.-THE lat
est incident in the Tillman- McLaurin
matter has stirred South Carolina as
much as any former sensation. The
report printed this morning that Sen
ator Tillman had intimated to Senator
Plat of New York that it might be
unpleasant, if not dangerous, for Pres
ident Roosevelt to visit Charleston, was
staggering. During the day something
in the way of confirmation was re-
ceived. Gov. insolvency declared,
however, he could not believe SEN
ator Tilhnan had made such a sugges-
ton. The only feeling ever entertained
against the President was in connec-
ton with the Booker Washington in
cident, and that had passed away.
There is now" said the Governor,
will be the slightest discourtesy shown
the President He will be honored as
the chief executive of this great ma
tion.'
The State will say in the morning:
rs Tillman insane or drunk with
pride and egotism? We had not no
ticed the slightest feeling against the
President because of Withdrawing his
invitation to Billman."
Mr.. Frank Sims, one of the largest
planters in Richland county, said:
THE Senate should send Tillman as
committee of one to find out the condi-
lions existing in this state. l have not
heard a single farmer criticise the
President"
1.-THE people in towns and cities
should hold meetings, and vindicate
the state from this horrible sugges-

Must BE No Coercion but Must BE
Left Free to Give as They Please,
Says Commissioners FOuIke.
Washington, March 2.-The attitude
of the Civil Service Commission toward
the political activity of government
employees has been defined in letters
Commissioner FouIke has sent to Post
master McMichael and r. Francis
Wood, both of Philadelphia. In his
letter to Mr.. Wood, the substance of
which is also stated in the letter to
the postmaster, Mr.. Foulke, says:
I'VE object to certain solicitations
for contributions, made by those in
authority, because they are, in effect,
coercing the political action of en-
ployes, but would not it also be coer-
cling their political action to tell them
that they should not contribute, and
that they must take no part whatever
in campaign? For myself, have in
years past always given a modest con-
tribution for political purposes, and /
shall not cease to do so in the
future, because hold Office,

or any less on that account and 1. do

office that he is to give or not to give,
or that he is not as free to give to the
Democratic fund as he is to the Re-
publican fund, or that he may not as
freely give to the faction opposed to
me in my own party as to the faction
not opposed to me. if he so desires.
LAS to campaign contributions, 1t
seems to me that the purpose of the
law is to see that they are really vol
untary and not actually or implicitly
coerced and as to the political action
and activity, it seems to me the pur-
pose of the law is that a man should
be free to do what he likes in office,
as well as out of it, with the limita-
ton that it must not interfere with
his official duties, nor in any other
way bring scandal upon or impair the
efficiency of the branch of the service
to which he belongs. In the latter
particular, any attack made upon that
service, or upon the administration of
which it form a part, would necessar-
lily be in derogation of sound discipline.
We who are strong believers in the
merit system should not take so eX-
treme a view that it could not be sus-
tanned in principle and would not be
justified by public opinion"

Business in City Streets.
Augusta, March 2.-The water fell
steadily all day, but the rains of yes
terday up the country, have kept the
slowly from the streets. BY early
morning it had all disappeared from
Broad street but it was in the drain
on the south side of Greene street all
day.
The submerged district is along the
river. above the North Augusta bridge
on Market and Jones. and upper Rey-
nolds streets, between Eleventh and
Fifteenth streets.
All during the day boats have been
plying about in this restricted dis
trict either ferrying residents of the
district to and from their homes, or
else transporting sightseers who want
ed the novelty of riding through a Sec
ton of the city in a boat. Residents
from all sections of the city have Wis
tied the water-covered section to-day
in vehicles, or on foot, to spend
while looking al the imprisoned occu-
pants looking out from windows or
piazzas with water all around them,
or the parties padding about in bat
teaux. All the river fishermen had
their bateaux doing ferry duty and
making money out of the passengers
The water was from one to three feet
deep, depending on the incline of the
ground. This afternoon a strong March
wind blowing down the river has has
tened, to some extent, the fall of the
water.
The principal damage to Broad
street merchants has come from the
flooding of their cellars, and to-mor-
row a committee will wait on Mayor
Phinizy to request that he put two
of the reserve fire engines to work
pumping out the water.

PATERSON IN HARD LUCK.
Fire-Swept City Now Suffers by
Floods.


Paterson n. j., March 2.-This city,
so recently swept by fire, is now over
Swallowed by flood. Three weeks ago
the greater part of it's business section
was burned out, and to-day the quar-
ter occupied by the houses of the poor
er class is inundated. Hundreds of fam
lilies have been made homeless by the
overflow of the Passaic river and the
country for miles around the city is I'M
der water.
So far but one death has been re-
ported.
The fire of three weeks ago, while
causing a damage to property to the
extent of nearly $S,0O0000, did not
create such suffering and widespread
desolation as the flood to-day. The dis
trict for a mile below the river front,
from Spruce street hill to Straight
street, and two blocks north and five
blocks south of the river, nearly half
a mile in width, is covered with water,
which in many instances reached to
the second-story of the dwellings. In
this district are situated the Rogers
Locomotive Works and several silk
mills and dye works. In the immediate
vicinity of these lives of industry, fully
500 families have been driven from
their tenements.
