VIII SORROW
The House Of Representatives Learns OF
Iarrlsou's Death.

WASHINGTON, Oct Sl.-Mr Hunter
tdcm, III offered the following reSo-
lutions:
Resolved, That the house has re-
ccived with nstonishment and sorrow
the announcement OF the violent death
Of Carter II Harrison, mayor OF the
city Of Chicago and formerly member
OF this body,
Resolved That these resolutions be
published in the Record, and that the
speaker OF the house cause copy OF
same to be transmitted to the family Of
the deceased
Mr. Morse rep Mass J, indorscd the
resolution, and expressed his personal
regret at MIR lIarrison's death and
this appalling tragedy. lie wished, in
this connection, TO call the attention
Of congress and the country 20 the
fact that the assassin was probably q
foreigner and was possibly insane
when he landed in this country. lie
thought the occurrence OF such trage'
dies, as the one which had so recently
taken place at Chicago, should impress
on the country the necessity oE cnforc-
ing more vigorously the laws excluding
insane, paupcr and idiot aliens and fol
the enactment of more stringent law
for the exclusion OF these dangerous
classes that are now being emptied OF
these shores.

many visitors in his private Office, but

door leading to the portrait gallery
where he has stood so often, and a,
once began the handshalxing. lie went
through the task with the usual rapid
ity and ease. and it was not long before
lie had bid farewell to all who wished
to do so.
There was nothing unusual in the
reception. II was the same he had held
during the four years Of his term, but
as he shook the last hand the president
gave hasty glance about the room as
II a long farewell and turning quickly
left the room and went back to the pri-
yate part Of the house and TO luncheon.
Wednesday afternoon the express
wagons carried away from the white
house as many as fifty big boxes, CON
tanning President Harrison's private
papers. books and scrap books. There
are nearly dozen boxes Of the latter
One box contains n most interesting
collection of canes presented to the
president during his term. There Is
represented every imaginable kind OF
walking sticks. and the collection is
worthy Of an exhibit at the Worlds
fair. These boxes 90 direct TO Gen.
