LONDON, July "a dispatch from Lis
bon to the Times says; I'm an interview
today Senior Comes, minister of foreign
affairs, declared that except for the assist
ance of the Portuguese government the
Delagoa Bay Railway Company would
have forfeited its concession long ago
He said that official data would clearly
Justify the governments action. The gov
ernment would adhere to the terms Of the
concession, although in many points they
were contrary to Portuguese interests.
Neither England nor America had offered
any objection to the proposed arbi-
tration on the basis fixed by the clause in
the concession. England had acted in
manner that gave Portugal no ground for
complaint. The negotiations were being
conducted amicably on both sides. Every
thing was going on smoothly at Delagoa
Bay, and the old employees Of the railway
company had been retained"
A dispatch from Durham says that tho
excitment there over the Delagoa incident
has subsidized. The government is working

was boarded by Gov. Bulkley and staff,
Senators Hawley and Platt, four Connecti-
cut congressman and number of state
officials. Lieut.. Gov. Merwin and State
Treasurer Henry were to have been taken
up at Bridgeport, but the train did not stop
there, and these gentlemen could only wave
a greeting to the President. Stops were
made at New Haven, Meriden and Putnam,
and at each place President Harrison was
introduced to the crowds assembled to greet
him and shook hands with such as could get
near enough, but he disappointed the
assemblages by making no remarks what
ever.

of the city for an hour and a half The
city was in holiday garb, and though it
rained quite hard, great crowds of people
were on the streets. The governors foot
guard were drawn up at the station as q
guard of honor. The President left the
train on the arm of Gov. Bulkley and de-
scended the steps of the handsome station
to the street, where he and the governor
entered an open carriage. The station and
street outside were densely crowded. When
all the party had got into similar carriages
the march was begun up the street for tho
capitol. White and colored militia lined
the street for two or three blocks. The
houses were handsomely decorated and the
streets were crowded along the whole line
of march.
NO STOP AT THE CAPITOL.
After half an hour of slow travelling the
capitol was reached. The hour was 50 late
that no stop was made, and the party was
driven back to the station and proceeded.
No speeches were made. Rain fell during
the entire stop at Hartford, but the Presi-
dent and others of the party rode in open
carriages, and did not even raise umbrellas.

at Putnam, but here they left the train and
were driven in carriages to the residence of
Henry w. Bowen at Woodstock. 1t is ex-
pected that the President will go to New
port Friday from Woodstock in company
with Secretary Tracy, and he will probably
