RUSSELL E. HARRISON GETS ASHORE BEFORE
HE Is EXPECTED-HIs TRIP ABROAD.
Tie arrival Of the city OF Paris yesterday nearly
four hours ahead OF her record took great many
people by surprise. among them number of prom-
ncnt Republicans, headed by W. !. Artcll proprietor
OF Judge who had chartered tug to go down the
Bay and give Russell Il. Harrison rousng welcome
home from Europe The tug had not got up steam
when the big Inman liner glided up TO her pier.
But Mr. Harrison cOnsolcd the disappointed ones by
holding an informal reception in the office Of Judge
in Fifhave. In talking about his trip Mr. Harrison
said It had been extremely pleasant one. 1t was
his first experience Of Europe. and II uncom-
mon and gratifying experience.
Il received great attention all around said Mr..
Harrison but | took It as a compliment TO the
United States, and to the President Of the
United States I would be very concelted indeed If
took It as II Il were intended for me personally
Mr. Harrison added that lie believed that some of
the newspapers here enlarged little too much
IN his visits Royal persons. lie did meet and dine
nth Queen Victoria. however, and met many other
Ryal and distinguished people, including President
Can0t of France There was purpose in Mr..
Harsons trip which was to study illustrated paper
maAg. This led him to spend good deal Of time
at the Paris Exposition. Of which he spoke in terms
OF enthusiastic admiration.
" OthNs have said that America Is not well repre-
sened al the Exposition. What is your opinion as
TO that Z" % asked.
II is God display for America far as 1t goes
he replied. 1t lacks quantity, not quality. Foreigners
have always heard OF the United States as very
large and grca country and our exhibit at Paris was
not so big as te size and Importance of our country
would Justify. There many of our wonderful In
ventions and celtTivanceS not represented at all
But what IS sttrstng more attention than anything
else I'm the Exposition IS American. That IS Edlsons
wonderful display. Ills photograph particularly eX
cites interest. IT isvery new to that country, and
long lines of people stnd patiently awaiting their turn
to listen to the instrllnsnt."
In regard ia the EX Osition Of 1892 and the feel
ing about 1t on the otter side Mr.. Harrison said;
The papers there were lust beginning TO speak Of
IL when | sailed, aud the. considered it not an As
surcd fact, but "A 20 sibiiy The comments were
that the time was very shdt al the best. and that
the Americans would have . address themselves 10
the work Immediately. the ,rccton of the buildings
and the Preparations for the display would take four
or FIVE years to do well Fp the success OF the
Exposition must depend onour own people. As
far a. can see. the Paris Exposition Will pay, bur
I'm spite OF AL the strangers WO went there, IL Is
10 the French people that It viii I'VE this success. If
make ours a success, it viii b. by the attendance
OF Americans
81 am more OF an American now than ever added
Mr. Harrison and. having seen lther countries, !
think more of my own
