guest on the United States steamship May
So far as anybody seen here to-day knows
the President and Sir Thomas Upton have
been on the hest Of terms. In fact. 1t was
supposed that MIR Roosevelt had great
admiration for Sir Thomas.
II was recalled that Just after Sir Thomas
reached this country he came to Washing
ton at the President invitation and wns
entertained at luncheon al the White House.
MIR. Roosevelt has established the repu-
ton in Washington OF being extremely
mrticular as to the persons with whom

Nithdrawal of an invitation to Senator
"Pitchfork 'Tillman of South Carolina to
dine q; the White House was cited to-day
as a case IN point. The occasion was the
dinner given by the President in February,
1902, in honor Of Prince Henry OF Prussia,
As Prince Henry was an Admiral in the
German Navy il was deemed appropriate
by the President to ask TO this function
the members of the naval committees OF
the Senate and the House. Senator Till
man was member Of the Senate COM
mittee and was among those invited.
In the interim between the sending OF
the invitation and the dinner, Mr. Tillr,an
engaged in n physical encounter on the
floor of the Senate with Mr.. McLaurin.
his colleague Of South Carolina. MIR. Cor.
telyou, now Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, and then Secretary to the President,
wrote a letter TO Senator Tillman. saying
that the President felt obliged to with
draw the invitation for the reason that Mr..
Tillman was under suspension by the
Senate.
Tillman was furious. and his nephew,
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman OF South Carolina.

to do him honor.
Had the President objected to Sir
Thomas presence at the dinner for no other
reason than that it might appear that the
President by attending was showing too
much attention to an unofficial foreigner.

the matter by declining the invitation him.

RIVAL TENDERLOTN WARDMEN.
Armstrong and Merrill. Who says He's
Greene's Man, Are busy Men.

Two rival plainclothes men are having
little struggle for supremacy in the Ten
derloin just now, and one of them is using
Commissioner Greene's name to help him.
theoretically there are no wardmen
on the police force now, but when Capt.
OConnor was sent to the Tenderloin by
Commissioner Greene ten men to do plain
clothes duty were detailed to his command.
At least half of these men were ex-ward-
men. Jimmie Armstrong was one Of them,
and Armstrong knows heap about ward
mans duties. Armstrong and O'Connor
have apparently got along we'll together.
and even when Armstrong -sassed' In
spector Walsh he got of with two days
fine.
Capt. O'Connor went on his vacation
in the latter part Of August. Two days
before he went he was ordered to make
application for the transfer to his precinct
OF Policeman Nelson j. Merrill to do plain
clothes duty.
O'Connor protested that he had all the
plainclothes linen he needed and that he
didn't know Merrill, but there was no
getting out Of 1t. O'Connor. It Is said. was
tod that Commissioners 6feene- iSzd ordered
Merrill transferred to, the Tenderloin to do
plainclothes work.
Capt. O'Connor got away on his vaca-
ton before Merrill showed up for work.
Acting Capt Shibles was then in charge.
Merrill got list OF every suspected or known
illegal resort in the district, and he made
no effort to keep the other plainclothes
men in the Tenderloin in ignorance of tho
fact that he had been sent there by Com
missioner Greene.
Jimmie Armstrong, Capt. O'Connor's
wardman. had his spat with Inspector
Walsh n short time before Merrill APP
peared and had gone on sick leave
A great many persons in the Tenderloin
soon learned of Merrill's presence and it
wasn't long before Armstrong got back
to work He has been just as active as
ever but he seems greatly worried. Mer-
rll and he are not what one would call
churs, but 80 far there has not been any
open rupture.
Capt. O'Connor is back to work again.
He denies there is any friction among
his men. He says they are all patrol
men in his eyes and that one has no more
authority than another He also says
that he will break any plainclothes man
whom he catches grating in his precinct.

Commissioner Greene.

Dressed like 'longs'>oremen, Detectives

street station visited a suspected house in
Hester street on Saturday night. The

woman and companion. At the station
house they were charged with disorderly
conduct.
In the Tombs police court Yesterday

The detectives admitted that a change
had been made. but said that the first charge
had been recorded by mistake.

e. r. L. BARS REPORTERS OFT.
Papers Printed Anti.Parks Resolutions

WHen JnlDu SUIu Iney Mustn't.
The Central Federated Union resolved
yesterday to exclude from its meeting
reporters from every newspaper in New
York except three, two of which are Ger
man. This was because the newspapers
printed last week the resolutions offered
at the c. F. U. meeting. advising honest
workers not to take part in parade led
by Sam Parks and Devery. and the dis
cussion thereon.
Morris Brown, delegate OF the cigar
makers. warned the G. F. U. that its action

o oos e psd br sush s
who talk loudest in abuse Of the papers
are the men who buttonhole the reporters
outside in the hall and beg them to print
a lot of stuff in which they figure and to
put their pictures in the newspapers. If
there's anything hate worse than another
will get the news anyway. When hear
such resolution l feel as il were among
a lot of news boys instead Of men who arc
supposed to be sensible"
Delegate George H. Warner demanded
to know il Brown referred to him. Brown
said he didn't know whether Warner came
in that category of the men he had
mentioned or not, but he did know that
there were plenty of people in the room
who abuse the papers and were always
trying to get the reporters to print their
names and pictures.
Several motions and coun er-motions
were made and Warner got into wrangle
with Delegate Ephraim Kaufman, who last
Sunday introduced the anti-Parks resolu-
tions which the newspapers were ordered
by the c. F. Z. not to print. Warner is

Machinists, who are striking for minimum

DEATH OF A STRANGER
Succumbed to a Hemorrhage While
 Alone in His Room.

Walter Van Sternbergh, of $40 Hart street Brooklyn. New York, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon in his room at the Valley lodging house on Jefferson street. His death was caused by hemcrrhage Of the lungs and he was stricken very suddenly while en- gaged in shaving himself. These are the conclusions, at least. of the coro- ner's jury, summoned by Justice Eur nett. andwhich viewed the body before it had been removed from the room.
 Mir. Van Sternbergh was d young man about twenty-five years old, and though he scarcely had the appearance of an invalid. he was a victim of the great white plague, as was evidenced by the various remedies fer consump- tion that were found in his room. He came here presumably from Albu- QuerQue. as letters had been forwarded to him from there, and secured a room al the Valley lodging house on the 21st of this month. He was seen but sell dom by the people of the house. being a quiet and retiring man. Last Satur- day night he brought another gentle man home with him to whom he re ferred as a friend, and stated that they would occupy the room together. This party. though evidently there at night. had net registered and his ident- ity had not been learned late last ev- ening. Other than his being an ac- quaintance and roommate he does not figure in the incident of the death.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon little girl that lives in the house passed by the open door of the room and saw him lying on the floor. She told her father and mother and the house
 keeper and the latter went at once to investigate, finding him lying on the floor in front of the bed, dead, in pool of blood that had run from his mouth On the dresser near by was

razor Cn which the lather was accum- ulated and ether things indicated that he was in the act of shaving when the hemorrhage began. He probably tried to reach the bed and fell. too badly chOlIed 10 summon assistance. That he was subject to hemorrhages was shown by the fact that he had a sack of salt in q drawer of the dresser, kept no doubt for such emergencies. His ec- fleets were numerous though Of little value except eleven dollars in money and the contents of trunk, which the coroner took charge of. On the dress CT, among other things. was a good Oxford Bible that had been presented tC him some months ago by his par ents at 240 Hart street. Brooklyn. He also had an assDci ltc membership tick ct in Y. NJ. C. A. society somewhere. but otherwise there was no proof of fraternal affiliations. A shorthand note book and dictionary bearing his neme indicates that he was stenCgrapher
 The body was taken to the parlors of Easterling & Whitney. who notified his father by telegraph last evening.

erva ton nearby At last a mOdns vigendi was reached and a commis- sionef was appointed for the distribu- ion Of the water. The commissioner Is M. Nj. Murphy connected with the SacatCn agency. The water was to be taken through the Leon and Lambeye ditchcs. The commissioner Pstitioned the court fer an order to take the wa ter through what is known as the Peninsula ditch That petition met with objections from nearly all parties interested ii the distribution and the greater pII of the evidence offered yesterday was against the proposed change. It was brought cut that the commissioner had made no measure ment of the Peninsula ditch and could offer no accurate information as to the amount Of land that could be Served by if or how the water might be rats- ed in f. IL was testified to OF the other side that it would be imoossihle to irrigate more than half section while the present system covers all thA land in that whole section and q hals section beside that could not be req ached by the Peninsula. No final nr- der in reply to the petition was made.
 In the matter of the suit Of the at torney general of the territory against the Atlantic and Pacific oil company for disinCOrporation trial order was made for the immediate hearing and the case was submitted oH plcadings There was no opposition but all the facts of the complaint Were admitted and there was an order of dis;acoroor- ation.
