CURIOUS CROWDS.
Untold Numbers Visit President Harrison
1T the White House.

1T the White House.
WASHINGTON, March IA fatiguing
prospect Spened before President Harrison
yesterday morning. Before he had fin
ished his breakfast the great American
public began TO assemble in the White
House grounds and a crowd formidable in
rumbers was waiting the opening of the
doors. A treble guard Of policemen stood
cn the watch and kept out all but the
privileged few until the word was given to
sdmit the general pub ic.
The Justices of the Supreme Court called
il body and were introduced by Colonel
Wilson. A large party of Indiana people,
Including Representatives Browne and
Steele ex-Mnister Foster and Colonel
Pridgeland, was also received.
Representative Browne said that tho
people Ssembied from the Presidents
native State, wished to extend to him their
heartfelt congratulations upon his safe
induction into office and to express their
hopes and prayers that his strength would
be sufficient 10 meet the trying duties
which had been imposed upon him.
The President in reply expressed his ap-
probation of their Kindness and said that
when looking over the assemblage he re-
cognized many of his own townspeople he
regretted that the incapacity of the White
House prevented him from extending to
them the homelIke reception that he wished
10 give. He felt encouraged by their ex-
pressions # sympathy in the performance
of the duties of his office, which We're
harassing as well as responsible.
Hundreds of visitors to the city were
next received. They gazed curiously at
the President, shook his hand and passed
rapidly on. About 1850 the public re-
ception was suspended, and the President
had an earnest private conversation with
Secretary Noble. of the Interior Depart
ment, after which he went up stairs to
meet a number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives who had called to pay their
respects. Among them were Senators
Allison, Hiscock, Dolph and Representa-
tives White, McComas. Henderson, of
Iowa; McRea, Dibble, Adams, of Illinois,
and Perkins. Secretaries Window. Proctor
and Rusk also called during the morning
and each had a short chat with the Presi-
dent.
Before noon another crowd. even greater
than that which had preceded it in the
early morning, had gather ed on the 81 ie-
walks. The Western Zouaves. OF Eliza
beth, n. j., some District of Columbia mi
litia and Grand Army posts Were among
serenaded the President. Soon after noon
the doors were re-opened and the recep-
ton was renewed.

Two years ago Herman Clark, we'll.
known contractor, preached a scheme for
a great system of tunnels under New York
City and the East and North rivers, con-
Meeting the city with suburban points.
Little attention was paid to the plan, as it
was considered too expensive to be prac-
ucable. Recently Mr.. Clark announced
the completion of arrangements for carry
ing out the great work. A capital of
sloo, 600 has been guaranteed, of which
80, OOQ. 600 is considered sufficient to do the
tunneling The tunnels will be $50 feet
below the surface. thus avoiding all
buried water, gas pipes, ETC., and avoid
ing any difficulty with the rivers. The
main tunnel will extend from the City
Hall in New York to Fleetwood park
on the north, under Brooklyn to
Coney Island on the east, and under Jer-
sey City to Newark. There will be four
tracks. Freight and passengers will be
carried. Elevators will convey freight
and passengers between street stations
and the tunnel. The plan for carrying
freight will relieve the city streets of much
trucking. Cars will run under larger stores
and freight can be lowered directly to them.
The incorporators of the enterprise are
about to organize, and when the organiZa-
ton is perfected it will be backed by a
large number of railroad men and capital
lists. Mr.. Clark has studied the feasibility
OF the scheme for many months, and feels
satisfied that within year and half
tunnel with four tracks can be put in
operation.

French Finances.

PARIS March 10-A meeting of bankers
presided over by NJ. Rouvier, sat at the
Ministry of Finance from one p. m. FRI
day till three p. m. yesterday. Several
speeches Were made. NJ. Rouvier, losing
patience, protested against the unwilling
ness of the bankers to guarantee the loan
and the refusal to recognize their own
personal liability in the question, and he
threatened toannouncs to Parliament that
the Government alone was ready to do its
duty. The speech produced great I'M
preston and syndicate, including Roths-
child, Laled, Andre & Girod, Heine, Hot
iinguer, the Credit Foncier and the Marque
d'Escompte, was formed to guarantee the
loan. The Credit Lyonnais and the Soci-
etc Generate did not join the syndicate BE-
cause they require funds themselves IN
view of the crisis. The panic snow pr ac-
tically ended, the sums withdrawn being

CHEROKEE COMMISSIONERS.

Warner, of Kansas City, Appointed as One
of the Three Commissioners.
WASHINGTON. March S.-Great interest
has been developed here concerning the
selection of the commissioners provided
for in the appropriation bill to negotiate
with the Cherokees for the sale to the
Government of the Cherokee outlet. Sem
ator Plumb and others have presented
the claims of Hon. Milt Rey-
nolds, of Geuda Springs, Kan,
but the appointment is hard
ly probable since ex-Congressman
Warner, of Missouri, has been rendered
one of the Cherokee commissionerships,
and the other two will be rendered to gen.
tlemen from other localities-probably
one to Illinois and one to the New England
section. 1t is pOssib that one of these
places will be rendered to Ex-Governor
Long, of Massachusetts,. since both the
President and Secretary Noble state that
the commission must be composed of gen.
tlemen of high National reputation.

Dogs in Di.favor.

NEW MARTINSvILLE, W. Va, March s.
Notwithstanding the fact that 200 to 80
dogs suspected of rabies have been killed
in this county during the past thirty days
the interior seems to be overrun with ca
mines in a dangerous condition, and the
alarm of the people is general There has
been a considerable loss of cattle, swine
and sheep, which have died from the eff
fects of bites inflicted by infected dogs,
and in two instances horses have sue
cumbed. Several people have also been
bitten, but in no instance as yet has any
serious result followed. Farmers consider
it dangerous to 60 along the roads I'M

EniCSSON DEAD.
Death of the Famous Swedish Engineer
and Inventor.

Death of the Famous Swedish Engineer
and Inventor.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Captain John
Ericsson, the famous Swedish engineer,
who designed the lamous iron clad Moni-
tor and launched her complete in 100 days,
died yesterday morning shortly after
twelve o'clock. He had been i'll for only
one week " hen physician was called in.
Owing to his advanced age Mr.. Ericsson
failed to rally. The deceased was born on
July 81, 1903 in the province of Wesland,
Sweden, and came to America in 1889.
Ericsson invented the screw propeller,
which has revolutionized ocean travel
within half a century. Indeed the
failure of the English to appreciate the
screw-propsller is what sent Ericsson to
America, where his advanced ideas
found better treatment
In 1874, during John Quincy Adams
term as President, the Government backed
successful experiments with the pro-
pellor. The boat in which it was tried,
the Princeton, was also the first steam
ship built with machinery protected from
shot by being placed below the water line
making it the pioneer in modern naval
construction. Its guns moreover, had the
first self-acting locks of the kind that are
now in general use. At this time the COM
mittee of the American Institute formally
said: Nothing in the history Of mechan-
les surpasses the inventive genius of
Captain Ericsson"
The public exhibition Of the Princeton at
Washington was attended with an acci-
dent, for which Ericsson was in no way
responsible. The great gun called "The
Peacemaker" exploded. killing the Secre-
tary Of State, the Secretary of the Navy
and three other persons.
Strange TO say, Ericsson was never re-
imbursed for his expensive experiments
with the Princeton, his modest claim for
$4,000, the actual cost, having been dis
allowed by Congress. Stranger still,
Ericsson was never paid dollar for de-
vising and building the wonderful gum
boat with which his fame is inseparably
connected. The suggestion of the Monitor
was first made by Ericsson to Napo eon
Ill. in letter dated at New York in 1854.
For eight years the idea awaited its op-
portunity.
The board to inspect designs for IRON
clads, after the war broke out, not only
discouraged the inventor, but actually
snubbed him, so dense was their inability
to appreciate his advanced ideas. The
story of its final acceptance is long and
not n particular gratifying one. But the
cheese box on a shingle" surprised the
world one day at Hampton Roads and
Ericsson has had a record in glory, though
an ungrateful Nation never paid him in
cash

They Want Damages.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-There will be
many small claims for damages done by
the Pennsylvania troops during the inau-
guration season. Piemen whose stands
were raided, house owners whose windows
were broken, decorators whose materials
were destroyed or scattered and others
who suffered by the rough play of por-
ton of the Pennsylvania troops are look
ing arc und to find who will pay the dam
age. Some have suggested that these per-
sons be reimbursed out of the Inaugural
ton fund.
