A Partial RELIEF from Politicians, Bu Sine S.
and Callers.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-All the Harrison
family asked to- day was to be let alone and
their request was reasonably near being grant,
ed. Considering the circum stances 1t has been
the 1uietest day that they have known for two
or three weeks. Tho pouring rain, combined
with the fact that It was Sunday. helped in
keeping curious people ut home. and about the
only persons who made any attempt to see the
President elect were personal friends and
relatives who are in town for the inauguration.
There were a few politicians with little mat
ters OF imperative business who slipped quiet
ly around to the Arlington annex and had
talk with the General. But no attempt was
made to force upon him any political or other
attentions that could possibly wait.
Ono Of the callers. who combined the roliti-
cal and tho personal and both in a large do.

more will be Secretary OF the Interior Depart

and after leaving his baggage at the Nor
mandie where he will live for the present,
went at once to pay his respects to Gen. Har-
rison. He remained but short time. and the
visit was purely a social one.
Another member of the next official family
who is also almost rs much a member of the
personal family. Is Partner Miller. the next At
torney-General. and he spent part OF the day
with Gen. Harrison. His daughter accom-
panied him. Gen. Tracy, the next Secretary
Of the Navy also called to present his daughter.
