Personally President Harrison Is siightly
under the medium height, but his straight,
strong figure and soldierly bearing make
him noticeable anywhere. His hair is
very fair, and he wears blond beard. His
manner is marked by quiet dignity. There
is not the slightest affectation Of social or
intellectual superiority about his manner.
He IS described by those who have viewed

men, ready to talk upon public subjects
freely. and having something TO say on all

Dental party which is to arrive in this city
this morning. Like nearly all Of Americas
great men. Rusk had but small and hum
Bile beginning. 1t may be said that he was
born of the glebe. The nutrition of his
early youth was drawn directly from ma
lures sources of supply-from the earth,
the air and the sunshine. He obtained
his sturdy strength from contact with the
soil; he was hardened by the storm, the
summers heat and the cold of winter.
Plain food, active outdoor exercise, the
absence of care, constant association with
the free and benignant influences of ma
ture, all united to construct for him a
sound body-the foundation of cheerful
ness, patient endurance, hopefulness, the
ability to labor untiringly, perseverance
and, in fine. all the essential qualities of
success in life.
The Ohio region, fruitful as the nursery
of eminent men, was the place Of his birth.
He was born in Morgan county, Ohio, in
1880, where he remained until he was @,
when he removed to Wisconsin, and set
tied in Vernon. formerly Bad Axe, in
1853 He held several county Offices was q
member of the assembly in 1852, was
commissioned major of the Twenty-fifth
Wisconsin infantry in July, 1862, and was
afterwards promoted to the colonelcy.
He served with General Sherman from the
siege Of yicksburg until mustered
out at the close of war. He was
brevetted brigadier general for BRAY
cry at the battle of Salka-
hatcjie. in 1866 he was elected for
a term Of two years comptroller of Wis
consin, and was reelected in 1863 He
represented the Sixth congressional dis
trict in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth
congresses. For several years he was a
member of the congressional Republi-
can committee and was a delegate to
the national Republican convention at
Chicago in $780, He was appointed by
President Garfield and confirmed by the
Senate as minister to Paraguay and Uru-
quay, which appointment he declined.
He was also rendered by President Gar
field the mission to Denmark and
the position of the chief of the
bureau of printing and engraving,
both of which he declined. He was
elected governor in 1881, was reelected in
1884, and was again reelected in 1886 as a
compliment for his staunch maintenance
of law and order during the riot period of
May, 1886. His term as governor ex-
tended seven years, which is the longest

GREETING TO PRESIDENT HAIR.
RISON.

This morning, a. the coming day
Aside her curtains drew,
The eastern hills in splendor
Peered from out the veil Of blue,
And looked far out into the ssa
As quickly fed the gauze,
To greet the coming president
With silent, grand applause.
This siivery sheet of water,
With golden suubeams kissed.
Sweeps by the glorious Mount Rainier.
Whose grandeur would be missed
In making up the line OF pride,
In making up the host
OF beauties that fair Puget sound
So gladly now can boast.
Welcome. yes, thrice welcome.
To Washington's bright shore
And may the picture Of our site
Dwell with you evermore.
az Pluribus Unum," we now hold
The flag our fathers won,
And may their zeal and fortitude
Inspire u every one.
Keep pure and leal our maids ana wives.
Our men and boys keep strong.
That as the coming years advance.
And the stream of Time rolls on,
May there be dotted here and there
Laurels that they have won
In making this the grandest land
That ere the sun shone on.
God bless the little children;
God bless them far aud wide.
As they come with songs of welcome
To greet our nations pride.
Should . foreign foe insult us.
At some far distant day,
May those boys Of ours be ready
To join them in the fray.

His breakfast TO Canon WHEREFORE, the
distinguished English churchman and
total abstinence advocate, was one of the
handsomest ever seen in this country, and
the absence OF wine was quite in harmony
with the presence Of the guest of honor.
AT Mr.. Wanamaker's dinner to Vice
President Levi P. Morton, ginger ale was
the strongest beverage served, and the fact
that it was served in wine glasses did not
make it any the more exhilarating. Mr..
Morton himself and most of the other
guests would not have objected to glass
of champagne, and Mr.. Wanamaker came
in for lot of good natured chatting. 1t
was prophesied laughingly that he would
never be able to carry out his vigorous
ideas in the gay whirl of Washington life
The host met all the replies gaily, and
gave back in wit as good as he received.
He didn't have any fears of the prophesies.
and it may be set down as certainty that
as long as he remains in Washington not
drop of wine will be drunk in his house.
But he doesn't preach and he doesn't look
gloomy among wine glasses in other
peoples houses. On the occasion of the
marriage of his second SON massive silver
loving cup. filled with rare old vintage,
was passed around at the wedding break
fast at the residence of the brides mother
When Mr.. Wanamaker's turn came he
raised the cup to his lips and wished the
bride and groom a long and happy life as
gaily as if he was going to take big pull,
which of course he didn't. His name,
with that of the other members of the two
families, was engraved on the cup.
While his home life is so restfui to mind
and body, Mr.. Wanamaker also finds
recreation in the variety of his business or
public charitable affairs. or course he
reads books, 6 Ne Ill know he must have

GOLD EXPORTS And SILVER COINAGE.

Exports of gold are beginning again quite
unexpectedly. Ii has been for some time fore
seen that the state Of foreign trade would sooner
or later cause an outgO of gold, unless the foreign
demand COR American securities should material
~ increa.c BY many it has been believed that
large purchases of stocks for foreign account
would result from the compact Of railroad pres
dcnis. the reports Of important consultations
and the more hopeful feeling as II financial
legislation which the approaching termination
of the session of Congress induces. But the re-
suit has not yet justified these hopes. For some
weeks export, Of merchandise have been small
er than year ago, III part because the c&traor-
dnarily high prices Of breadstuiGs have retarded
exports, while the imports continue large not
withstandng the new tariff.
I'm this state of facts European purchases of
securities appear necessary to prevent an OutgO
of gold. But foreign and other bankers whose
influence has done so much to bring about the
agreement Of railroad presidents, are either not
able or not willing to influence investors 10 take
American properties in large amounts. 1t can
hardly be a sufficient reason that the railway
compact is not yet completed aS satisfactorily
as has been expected, for there were some OBJ
they have not yet been entirely removed. There
has been all the time danger of serious dis
agreement regarding details Of the plan, but
the more recent prospects are regarded as high
" satisfactory The heSsltion of foreign in
vestors must be attributed mainly to other
causes. One OF these is doubtless the threatened
uninendy legislation in Western States Yet
this danger does not seem as great as it ap-
pearcd in November and December The con-
sentative tendencies i'll several Of the Legis-
latures are stronger than was expected. Tn
doubtedly there is possibility of unwise and in
furious legislation in some States but not much
probability that it will be so carefully drawn
and so well restricted within constitutional lin
itatiOnS as to stand the test to which it will
doubtless be subjected in the courts.
The great cause of hesitation, according to
the general belief of bankers and others com
petent to Judge, is the fear of debaSement Of
the American currency through silver coinage.
In the estimation Of foreign investors this dan
ger is very near and great 1t exists, in their
opinion, not exclusively because the passage of
a Free Coinage bill is possible. for they under
stand that it is unlikely to come during the
present session, and there is AT least a posi-
blity that it may be arrested at the next session
By a Presidential veto But existing ogisla-
ton, in the judgment of foreign business men
and investors goes far in the direction of dan
ger. If it has not yet done harm if it has not
vet caused dstrust and general alarm in this
country, they reckon that this is because cir
cumstances have not yet caused drain of gold,
which is nevertheless likely TO occur at any
time. These are not the opinions Of most Re-
