New YORK, June 29..-The World
gives a resume of President Harrison's
recent journey during which he travelled
over 10000 miles, striking the extrem,
western boundary of the country; as fan
south as Galveston, and as far north as
Seattle, and occupying thirty-one days.
The journey was marked, The World
says, by the number and quality of
speeches made by the president in re-
sponse to the spontaneous demands of
people. There were 142 of these speeches
and as they were meagrely reported by
telegraph The World has secured copy
of them revised and chronologically ar
ranged by the official stenographer, and
prints them in full.

The paper has also secured an inter
view with the president, who gives a
personal commentary upon the journey.
In it the president said substantially:
my visit to the south and to the Pa
cific country was series of daily sur
prises, and l experienced a keen sense of
personal enjoyment and qualification
from beginning to end. The mountain
regions of Carolinas, Tennessee and of
Georgia, with new industrial communi-
ties which have sprung into existence
cannot fail to interest. They afforded a
vision of the great south that is to come
"a south Of increased industry, prosper
ity and material wealth. The reception
l received was tribute of respect to the
presidential Office and of hospitality and
courtesy towards the individual. can
say without reservation that from first
to last was received with kindness by
everybody. Permit me to say that the
regard for the national emblem of
common country, which | everywhere
beheld, was very agreeable. The men
of the south realize today as they never
did before; that we have in the United
States great and powerful nation. of
which they are proud. 1t is no longer

Georgian or i am an Alabamian.' 1t is

States The changes are a step in uni
versal progress which we, as Americans,

the Texans, and my trip through the
midland counties to Galveston was at
tended by general welcome from all.
My remarks upon reciprocity and on de-

In conclusion, the president said: "If |
