RECEIVED BY HARRISON.
Sir knights and Ladies Pay Their Respects
to the President,

i n tuu ay 1nclT RESPECTS
to the President.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The reception
rendered to the Sir knights and their
ladies by President Harrison at the
White House was, as usual on similar
occasions, a very brilliant affair. The
sidewalks, by Z o'clock, in the vicinity of
the mansion were thronged with Sir
Knights and lady companions, and long
lines of people, two and four abreast, ex-
tended for squares in different directions
waiting for the reception to begin. At
$50 the doors of the White House were
opened and the people began to enter.
The president received the guests in the
Red room, assisted by Mrs. Harrison,
Mrs. Window, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Noble,
Mrs. Rusk, and all members of the cabi-
net except Secretary Proctor, who is out
of the city. They We're at first intro
duced to the president by Eminent Sir
Knight Myron NJ. Parker, of Washing
ton, and he shook hands with each: but
the throng in waiting seemed endless,
the president soon abandoned handshak-
ing, to expedite the passageo of the crowd.
The Sir knights and ladies then passed
along rapidly, saluting the president as
they passed by. A stream poured i'll and
out of the mansion until II o'clock, when
the front doors were closed. There were
perhaps 10000 people in line and waiting
to shake hands with or get a glimpse Of
President Harrison, but not more than
one-third of this number reached him.

Iowa Troubles Loom Up from the Start
Delegates from That state Excluded.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The grand en-
campmcnt of knights Templar began its
session Immediately upon arriving at
Masonic temple at the close of the par
ade. Mr.. Myron NJ. Parker delivered an
address of welcome on the part of the
local committee. and introduced District
Commissioner Douglass, who welcomed
the knights in behalf of the city. To
both addresses Grand Master Roome res
pondcd and this closed the public exer-
cises. The encampment then began its
business in secret conclave. The Iowa
trouble Immediately doomed up and a
resolution was offered excluding the
members from that state from the SEES
sion. This resolution was carried and
the Iowa members somewhat indignantly
withdrew.
The annual address of Grand Master
Roome. who presided over the session,
was then read. His address dealt mainly
with the Iowa troubles. He declared
that he had no ill-feeling for his erring
Iowa brethren, and what he had done
had been intended solely to promote the
dignity of the order. Further than this
he wished it to be distinctly understood
as in no way taking up the cause of the
rituals as adopted. In concluding he
recommended great gentleness in dealing
with this unfortunate situation of affairs.
The whole matter of the ritual he trusted
would be definitely disposed of at this
conclave. and in the final decision he
hoped all would agree. and if Iowa was
satisfied all occasion for disagreement
would be removed. Soon after the read
ing of Gen. Roome's address the conclave
adjourned for the day.

the grand stand amid the plaudits of the
onlookers. This organization executed
its drill without music and its evolutions

was confined strictly to military move

which followed each masterly-executed
movement plainly showed that Detroit

of the 1000 spectators present.
