The Visitors Witness the Unwilling Of the
Portraits of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 3.-West Point.
to-day, was the scene of some imposing GER
emonies which are destined to become men,
orable in it's annals, and to mark the occa-
sion as a red-letter day in its history. The
visit of the international American Con-
gress, and the unwilling of the portraits of
Grant, Sheridan and Sherman were the
principal features. The United States
steamship Yorktown. which arrived last
night, was welcomed with military courte-
sizes. To-day the officers of the ship and of
the academy lave been exchanging calls,
and hundreds of people nave visited the
vessel. Mr.. G. w. Childs and his guests,
numbering thirty-five. arrived at 2 o'clock,
in a special train, from Philadelphia.
The special train containing the delegates
to the international American Congress
did not arrive till 5 o'clock, an hour later
than scheduled time.
The run from Weehawken to West Point
~(forty-eight miles,, was made in fifty min
utes. Carriages awaited the delegates and
they were driven to the residence of SUI
perlntendent Wilson. where a distinguished
company had assembled to welcome them.
The battalion of cadets had been'assembled
half an hour previously, and was drawn up
in line on the plain. The booming of can
non announced the arrival at the post of
the distinguished and special guests. The
Secretary of War was the first TO alight
from the carriage and step upon the veran-
da of the superlntendent's quarters.
He was warmly greeted by General Sher-
man, Gen. Horace Porter, General
Van Vliet, Mr.. Geo. W.. Childs, WAYNE
MacVeagh and the academic and. military
staff of the post. There was an immense
crowd of spectators cOngregated under the
trees on the edge of the plain. The battal-
ion of cadets marched in review before the
visitors. The machine-like precision of
movement and soldieriy appearance of the
cadets elected from the foreigners many
complimentary remarks. The battalion
| marched to Grant Hall. the crowd quickly
following. and in a twinkling the hall was
jammed with people. A platform had been
erected ut the north end of the room,
where the portraits of three great generals
Grant. Sherman and -Sheridan-hung ON
the wall. each yelled in q United States
flag. These magnificent paintings were
the gift of Mr.. George w. Chllds, of Phila-
dslphia. to the Military Academy.
The gathering was probably the most
notable that has assembled in many years
at the historic academy. Among the note

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The handsome and
most appropriate floral design placed in
the middle of the lunch table at the White
House reception yesterday was designed
by Mrs. Harrison. The idea of having half
the globe represented, with the North and

IN flo wers. was an original one. She had
the piece made and placed on the table. and
the first the President and Secretary Blaine
knew of it was when they saw it on the
table. The water of the globe was repre-
ented by the smooth, deep-green leaves of
the laurel or hnliv, giving almost the color
of the sea, an land, of flowers. gave the
