INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 5.-Gen.
Harrison did not have very many distin-
guished callers to-day, and there was
noticeable decrease in the number OF
visitors. The weather was Indictment
and disagreeable. Gen. Harrison Allen,
Of Fargo, Dak., who arrived yesterday
and had a talk with Gen. Harrison, was
joined to-day by Judge Granville y.
Moody. of DeadWood, Dak., one or the
senators elected by the embryo
state. Together they visited Sen.
Harrison this morning, Where tney
passed couple hours In con-
yersation on territorial matters. Ut Is
thought the president-elect may Ds
cleaning information on TERRITORIAL
topics for his inaugural address. Both
the Dakota gentlemen talk freely aDout
what their people want and expect rom
the new administration. Their views,
however. do not differ materially from
those heretofore chronicled from Gov
ernor-elect Mellett and others. Both
Moody and Allen favor the division OF
Dakota: in fact, there has not been
Single visitor from that section who has
not favored and argued for division.
About the only views they express that
are new to the public is their violent OPP
position to Congressman SprlngerS Sug-
gestions to change the name OF South
Dakota to Winona, or some equally Gu
phonious and appropriate Indian name.
This they object to.
THEY WANT THE OLD NAMES
North and South Dakota. Gen. Allen
saws those were the names their fore
fathers used, and he wants them re-
tanned. He says that Congressman,
Springer can name his farm "Wlnonam
If he wants to, or he can introduce a Dill
to have the Sucker state changed to
Winona, or mis- (Allen's) people won't
object If Mr.. Springer gets through a
bill changing the name OF chicago, 10
Win0na, but he must not try TO change
the name of North and South Dakota.
They returned home this evening.
Among the other visitors who called to-
day were Glenn Studebaker, OF South
Bend, Ind, and his brother. P. E:
Studebaker, of Chicago. They called
to pay their respects to the president
Neither of the well-known brothers
are OH the road taking orders
as commercial travellers for their
big mandatory, nevertheless they
ran against very nice order from
Gen. Harrison, who gave them carte
blanche in the matter of supplying all
the carriages and vehicles necessary for
his use at the White house. Among
these will be an elegant close quarter
landau, which will be the carriage used
on state occasions and the inaugural.
Another is an extension brougham for
the special use of Mrs. Harrison and the
grandchildren. These will be the first
carriages ever employed at the White
house that were manufactured west of
the Alieghenies. They will be manu-
featured entirely in Indiana at the
South Bend factory, and delivered at
Washington March l. Gen. Harrison
has also bought one of his horses here,
a large, handsome bay, and has commits
stoned a friend to purchase others. To-
night Gen. and Mrs. Harrison, accom-
panied by Russell B. Harrison and Mr..
Halford, attended the opera,
