CONGRAtULA HARRISON.

Thousands of Messages Pour in urou Him.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. I2,-The president
elect passed the day very quietly at his
residence, receiving goodly number of
nelghbOrs aud some friends who callt Il,
and reaolng letters aud eastern papers.
Since the DAY of election Geu. Harrisan's
mail has steadily increaseu until il has
nov reached mammoth proportions. Tins
morning 1t required an express wagon 10
haul the bundles of letters and
bags of news papers that has arrived
since Saturday. About fifteen huudred
letters and several bags of newspapers
comprise to-day'S mBIl. Something like
eighty kilograms were also received TO.

acter, as are also his letters. Heretofore
Gen. Harrison has aimed 80 reply to
every letter, II only to acknowledge its
receipt, but with such an extraordinary
increase he now finds the task will be too
great for him to undertake as il would
occupy his entire time. In view of these
circumstances Gen. Harrison this even
ing requested the correspondent of the
Associated Press To publicly convey his
cordial thanks TO the several thuusand
friends throughout the nation who have
ttlcgraphed or sent by letter their warm
expressions of congratulations and best
wishes. He was very particular to i'm
press upon the CORES pondent that It
would have afforded him real pleasure to
personally ackno Sledge tha receipt of
every communication and up to today
this was his intention, but an
inventory of over seven thousand
kilograms and letters with several
hundred additional letters arriving
oaCh day has caused him To reluctantly
abandon the attempt 10 answer them in
dlvldnally aud he asks the press of the
country to extend his kindness aud
Sarmest thaUks to his congratui atory
friends Nothing has more profound
iy impressed the presldeut- t-eIect than the
enthusiastic and heartfelt expressions in
he kilograms and letters he has received.
Nearly 1000 of these kilograms and let
ers were OF such a purely personal char
tcter that Gen. HARRISON folt il
might be considered indelicate in him 10
permit their publication, although many
of them are from people of political aud
,uciai distinction. Besides this c'ass uf
'elegrams there are fully two thousand
from men and women In the humble
walks of ilte who express their sontInr ents

ineffective protest. Drunkenness did not
lead TO social disrePute either in Old OF

slavery tracts, but for having one in his

New Japan

The young Mikado, Mutsphito, the
1881 Em peror of the nameless dynasty,
was the first of mis- liae 10 take oath as a
ruler.
On the II h of April, 1868, he made
oath before gods and men that "a de.iber-
ate assembly should be formed; all meas
ures should be decided by public opinion
and that intellect and learning should be
soJght for throughout tie world, in Or
der to establish the foundations of the
EN- pire."
This oath was reaffirmed October -,
1881, aud the year 1890 is fixed as the
time for limiting the imperial preroga,
tive, forming two houses of parliament,
and Transforming the government into a
constitutional monarchy.
The Emperors capital was changed
from KIoto to Yeddo, which was re named
and called Toxic.
Geudalism, or the holding IF fiefs by
the daimio, came to an end in 1871, by
imperial edict, and the whola of great
Japan was again directly under the Mika
dos rule.

Republicans Talk of Special Session Of Cen
creSs 10 Rugl Through a Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, D.. CT now ap-
pears probable that Gen. Harrison will,
Immediately upon his induction into
Office, call the members of the Fifty first
Congress together. His mot We fer this
will be 10 arrange some plan for the
reduction of taxation. There is no
reasonable ground for the bslief that any
concurrent action upon the matter
will be had at the session be-
ginning in December next. To
wait until the regular assem-
bling of the Fifty first Congress,
which will be republican in both branch
es, would be to postpone the subject un-
til the session was well under way. In
other words, year and a half from the
present time would necessarily elapse be-
fore tariff bill acceptable to the ad-
ministrstion could be passed. Gen. Har-
rison'5 friends say he will be unwilling to
wait eighteen months before moving in
matter SO important, and that the out.
look therefore for an extra session Is one
which may be chased among the strong
probabilities of the near futuIs.

Which has resulted in loss of $1,000.
The treasury officials refuse to speak of the
matter aud very little is known beyond

aud the loss will probably fall upon it
unless it can be proved that the pack ages
containing the money were tampered with
