WASHINGTON, June 9.-The excur-
sion of Minnesota editors arrived at
Washington on schedule time at 5
o'clock this afternoon after a most de-
lightful trip of only ffty-three hours
from the union depot at st. Paul. and,
when one comes to think of this feat in
transportation, it is simply marvellous.
Think of it! Saturday morning last at
10 o'clock this party of $50 ladies and
gentlemen left the st. Paul union depot
over the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha railway. We trav-
ersed the Minnesota valley to Man
kato, 40 miles, arriving at that
charming city at l p. M, enjoyed the
hospitalities of the good citizens until
9:40 p. m. of Saturday, when the eXcur
sion proceeded over the Chicago &
Northwestern railway to Chicago, arriv-
ing there ten minutes ahead of schedule
time, or at IL so a. m. on Sunday. Here
we were met by committee of the Ma
tional Journalists association, and re-
manned viewing the sights Of the Windy
City until 3:15 p. m. of Sunday-leaving
on a special train over the Baltimore q
Ohio, Just following the limited express
over the same road. The run from Chi
cago to Washington was made, incl I'D
ing stoppages, in twenty-five minutes
less than tWenty-siX hours, adiStance of
s65 miles. This, l think, beats
all records, and certainly is a
marvellous speed when you consider
that the train consisted of five heavy
Pullman palace cars and baggage car.
The train was under the direct charge
of Mr.. Lord, Northwestern passenger
81 ho Po1f 81
Chicago eastward, and it will not be
taken as lip service to say that this
progressive young railway man sur
passed himself in his efforts to make
the trip pleasant and profitable to the
members of the association. 1t is more
than proba bic that later occurrences
will make clear the appreciation inWhich
Mr.. Lord is held by the members of the
Minnesota Editorial association, whose
pleasure he consulted in this very men,
orabIe event. There is little further to
add except that the members Of the as
Sociation are comfortably domiciled at
the Ebbitt house, in charge of the local
committee of Minnesota Washingtoni-
ans and preparing for three days of
solid enjoyment at the capital of the ma
ton.
Reception at the Ebbitt.
The reception of the members of the
association by resident Minnesotians
tonight at the Ebbitt was purely in
formal, and strikingly democratic in
character. Senator and Mrs. Davis
