le
be
it- Washington, .Ian. 23.?South
it, era senators anil representatives
o- helil little indignation meetings
lie all day at the capit.ol. The subk,
ject under discussion was the
presence of several negro men
and women at the white house
receptiou in honor of cougress
and tiie judiciary last, night, a
circumstance which caused sevur
oral Southern gentlemen, nearly
ss all of whom are members of concr
j?ress, to leave the mansion in a
hull. This incident and the facts
^ which led to it were the absorb
')e ing topics of comment today, and
r^- indignant interviews with South
11C* ern senators and congressmen
are being sent, out to newspapers
lie in the Soul hern states tonight.
It was ascertained today that
5a" the negro guests were John 0.
Dancy, recorder of deeds of the
district, of Columbia, and his wife
and daughter, who accompanied
him ; Judsou Lyons, register ol
"n the treasury, and six or eight
" other negroes, men and women,
6 ?i -
wuose tames are not known.
s~ Officials at the white house de
.ce c.lined today to give the names ol
Tie the negroes who were present,
" but it was explained that they
? were federal officeholders iu
. Washington, with members of
118 their families, and that they were
*a" invited according to custom. It
? was said at the white house that
e the families of negro officials ot
1,8 the government in Washington
)w are always invited to the state
hi.
receptions.
"r' The colored guests had a rather
011 louesome time of it at the recepvj
tiou. After they had shaken
hands with the president and had
passed into the east room they
6 stood for some time in the corner
of the apartment talking among
themselves, but not mingling
av with the white guests. They
*e were as inoffensive as possible,
? even from the point of view of a
sensitive Southerner, but there
was a good deal of comment, and
?. several Southern congressmen got
a angry and hastily lett the house.
This was alter they had a chance
? to talk it over among themselves
u and express the indignation they
ire telt toward the president, for
heaping such au alleged indignity
upon them. Represent*!f111
tives Small and l'ou, of North
,e. Carolina, were among those who
? made their hasty departure from
the white house conspicuous.
' Several senators and congress
ll<' men Iront the southern states
declared today that thev would
l!,~ never visit the white house again
' ^ either socially or on business.
(T? II was stated, and the fact
' seems to hf. established, that only
u in rare instances in the past has
a negro man attended a white
* house reception, although invited
. to (Jo so, and (hit probably no
negro woman has ever been t lo re. 1

The in iignant soilt hoi n senators
am! emigres-men declared
1#V '
today that ['resident Kocsevell
^ ! had s; sight to l rcesocial equality
i of the races by inviting negroes
to lu*t night's reception and that
!e- ho offered thorn a personal insult.'
*y- They declare that it invitations to!
i c 'Ots have been i r ued in past'
J
years these invitations have not
been accepted, and Hie tact that
the negroes came this year is due
to Mr. Koosevelt's attitude on the
race question, aR exemplified in
the Hooker Washington inc.dent
and in many southern appoint*
meuts.
Senator Tillman gave an inter*
view to the southern newspap r
correspondents to lay. lie sani:
' The thing that hot iters me
most is the tact that my name
was printed this morning among
the guests present at the reception
last night. This same mistake
was made on the occasion
ol the diplomatic reception. I
have not been to the white house,
do not intend to go this winter
and never expect to go there
while the present occupant resides
there. 1 do not blame any
Auuuieni man tor attempting to
prevent the practice ol social
equality ; that it, il he in a white
man."
Senator Carmaek of Tennessee
satis-fit"! hi nisei I with the remark
that, "Mv thoughts on {his sun- *
jeol are not. fit lor publication."
Senator Pettus ol Alabama said:
' The incident, is a blunder ot
blunders. Il negroes were really
present 1 don't blame the guests
tor leaving."
Representative Utiggs ol Georgia
said : am hoih surprised
and disgusted 1 don't think
southern men will care to go to
the white house with this example
before thern."
Representative Claude Kitchin
ol Notlii Carolina said : '1 have
never been to the while house.
1 suppose Presideulli .osovelt has
a right to select liis own assoni
a I aa on/1 I ?1?1
v?mvvo uuu jl iiavo a i i^lli IU
mine, so 1 don't go there, lu the
light of last night's precedent, I
don't expect to go there, lor
I know 1 would not feel at home
unless I, as Mr. L)oolcy said,
black up for the occasion."
Representative Howie of Alabama
said : '-I had no desire to
go to toe reception. I paid to
go to the theatre rather than go
to the white house free. The
strange thing is that the Hooker
Washington incident did not
teach the president a lesson."?.

Jim Tillman's Counsel.
Col. Croft, leading counsel for
J as. H. Tillman, is in the city,
and it is supposed that he is here
in reference to applying tor hail
tor the prisoner. Whatever may
be his intentions, he is keeping
them to himself, and so are the
other attorneys. One ot them
stated tins morning that no geueral
consultation had been held,
and that it had not even been decided
that any bail would be applied
for. lie did not mean to
intimate, perhaps, that such a
course would be pursued, though
there has been a rumor current
that such might, he the case. Hut,
as stated, the attorneys are doing
no talking. Whenever the application
is made, the solicitor will
have to be given lour days'
notice. The application will
have to be made to the judge
presiding i. ho circuit, who happens
this lime to be Judge Klugh,
or it may be made to the supreme
court?Columbia Record, 26tii.
