CITY OF MEXICO, April 25.-The speech
which President Harrison made at Ell Paso
has been published by most of the news
papers here, and has been favorably com
mented upon. 1t has been noticed, how
ever. that none of the government organs
made any mention of the speech Inouir-
les instituted in government circles in re-
gard to the matter ELECTED the fact that
there was no intention TO slight the presi-
dents remarks; but the papers did not con-
slider it an unusual thing to publish news
week old, and that they would print the
speech in time.
Pen
noyer, when asked about his remarks re-
garding the etiquette of the presidential
receptions and the position he will main
tain in the reception to be rendered PreSi-
dent Harrison upon his visit here, said: Il
would not have had that interview appear
in print for the world. | expressed nv
opinions in strict confidence and did not
give them for publication. The interview
would make 1t appear that l expected the
president to hunt me up. I wished to con-
vey no such idea. l will receive President
Harrison with all the courtesy due his ex |
alted position. I see that on this presi- |
dental trip all the governors are receiving
the president at the state line. This was |
never done before, and 1 doubt its pro-
piiety."
