Harrison Spends the Day Quietly at San
Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-The presi-
dent spent quiet Sunday in San Fran
cisco. In company with Mayor Sander
son and ex-Congressman Morrow he
attended divine service at the First
Presbyterian church. 1t was not gen.
orally known that ne would attend this
church and consequently only the usual
congregation was present. Hrs. Harri-
son, Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Dimmlck
went to another church. In the after
noon Postmaster General Wanamaker
addressed a great concourse Of Sunday
school children at the Calvary Presby-
terrain church, and later he talked TO
nearly 1900 men at meeting held
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian association at the Republican
wigwam.
The president remained most of the
day resting at the Palace hotel. In the
evening Mrs. Harrison and the other
ladies of the party were entertained by
Mrs. Stanford.
Very Discreditable Affair.
The president had conference with
Brig. Gen. Ruger in the afternoon in
regard to the lynching of Murderer
Hunt at Walla Walla, Wash, last Fri
day night by party of soldiers. Sub
sequently the president sent the follow
ing telegram to the secretary OF war at
Washington: 1.-THE affair at Walla
Walla is very discreditable to army dis
cipline. If there is reason to believe, as
there appears to be, that the mob was
composed of soldiers, you will order a
court of inquiry and see that tie respon-
sibility for the disgrace is fixed and that
the guilty are brought to a prompt
trial.
