The Ex-President Drives Through the
White Oity.-PeOple Anxious TO see Him
CHICAGO, May 2.-Ex-Presdent Ben
jamin Harrison visited the fair to-day
He came out 10 the grounds about 11:3O
and was a guest Of President Palmer, of
the National Commission. On arriving
at the grounds President Harrison was
taken for osSive through the winding
ways Of the White City and shown the
beautiful buildings \ When the ex-
President arrived at the .Afllrinistration
building there were several hundred
people sitting about on the benches,
many of whom were eating their
lunches. The word was quickly passed
around that ex-President Harrison had
come, and in an instant there was q
rush to see him. As Mr.. Harrison en-
tered the rotunda there was vigorous
cIapping of hands and waving OF hand
kerchiefs. The ex-President acknowl-
edged the compliment by removing his
hat and bowing. During the afternoon
ex-President Harrison visited number
OF the buildings.
The Infants dined to-day at the White
Horse Inn. The inn which Charles Dick
ems wrote so much about in "Pickwick
Papers" was cleaned to nicely from top
TO bottom. The party arrived at about II
o'clock and were shown to ethe historic
Pickwick rooms, later being escorted TO the

mob. for IL had grown to be such. Lieut..
Amiss was utterly powerless TO sun the
tumult.
A mad rush had just begun in the
direction of Col. Ainsworth, when Mr..
Warner arose and standing on his chair,
begged for order. The sight OF him
standing stopped the rush. Dr.. Shaei-
fer directed Mr. Warner to take his
seat, but the latter refused, and raising
his voice, managed to make himself
heard. His first words brought quiet.
"This outbreak of feeling must be
suppressed." he said, mot by the
strong hand Of the law, but by the
hand .of fraternity. Applause. l ap-
peal to you to nave fair play as Amerl-
can citizens and not TO stain the tair
name of the glorious capitol Of this re-
public. I appeal to you In the name
of the Master who reigns above.
The crowd fell into Mr.. Warmers
way of thinking and cried ''yes,
ives. He saw his advantage and made
an appeal to let the question OF allow
ing Col. Ainsworth remain be settled
by cool heads.
When he took his seat, however,
there were more threatening mntter-
inQs aud DR.. Shaeffer quickly adjourned
the INQUEST until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning at the First Precinct police
station.
The department clerks stood about
the hall talking excitedly over the Incl
dent. Col. Alnsworth sat in his chair
for a minute, then walked out OF the
building, entered carriage and was
quickly driven away amid angry express
sions FROM the crowd.
When the hall was emptied, the ex-
cited language Of the clerks continued
on the sidewalk, and finally old Butler
! Fitch mounted the entrance steps OF the
! building and proposed an Indignation
meeting Immediately. The proposition
was adopted, and the clerks took pos
session of the hall.
Smith Thompson, aged 70 years, who
made many bitter remarks against Col.
Ainsworth aud Jacob Frech in his tes-
timony'thls morning, was elected chair
man of the meeting, and denunciations
| OF Col. Ainsworth and Of those who
justified his course were INDUCED in.
A committee consisting OF Smith
| 1HOm pSOO, w. N. ChyIc, ID Ni|CHi
Percy Monroe and NJ. NJ. Jarvis was ap-
pointed TO wait upon the President and
protest against the proposed secret ses-
sion at the police station, and TO urge
the suspension of Col. Alnsworth pend
ing the investigation.
Subsequently it was said that the in
quest would be resumed tomorrow at
the same hall. but under better police
arrangements.
1t was proposed to appoint commit
tee to secure couasel to represent the
clerks at the next session Of the Inquest,
but this was rendered unnecessary by
Judge Jere Wilson volunteering his
services.
The court Of inquiry ordered by Sec
retary Lamont to investigate all the
facts connected with the disaster and
express an opinion as to who is resposl-
BILE, met this afternoon, but adjourned
to meet at the call of the senior officer
! for the reason that Col. AinsWorth can
not appear before the court until the

ing of the General Assembly's Finding
Upon the New York Presbytery's Re-
cords.
New YoRK, June 12.-At a meeting Of
the New York Presbytery this afternoon,
Prof. Francis Brown. Of Union
Seminary moved that the the
official announcement from the
General Assembly Of the reversal Of the
Pres oytery's judgment and the suspension
of DR.. Briggs be not entered upon the
records.
He also put forward a set Of resolutions
and memorial to be presented to the next
General Assembly attacking the constitu-
tionality Of the Genral Assembly appeal,
not only on the methods which was OBJ
served in its conduct, but also on the
ground that that body had no right what
ever to take up the question before 1t had
been submitted to the Synod.
Nearly two hours Of stormy discussion
followed, in which an effort was made to
lay the memorial on the table until Oc-
to0er.
Finally motion to adjourn was carried
and the memorial goes over with other un-
finished business for the October meeting.
In the meantime the decision Of the Gen
eral Assembly will be recorded on the
minutes Of the New York PreSbytery.

ions of Some Legislators.
New YORK, June 12.-The Times
with the object of obtaining the opin-
ions of individual members OF both
Houses of Congress, has telegraphed to
each one the following message: "On
equally good security money now loans
in England at one quarter the current
rate in the United States. In the opin-
ion OF prominent financiers, if the Sher-
man law Is to be repealed, immediate
relief with result from prompt assur-
ance thereof, and resulting flow OF
cheap money from London TO America.
VIII you oblige the Times by wiring
briefly at our expense whether you IA
vor repeal of the Sherman law, and
what plan of currency issue you favor. I"
Up to midnight 1872 had been heard
from-1S Senators aud 104 Representa-
tlves. OF this number SO are in favor
of the repeal, 26 are against the repeal
and are still undecided. OF this num-
Der SO Democrtts and 35 Republicans
favored the repeal, 50 Democrats and Z
Republicans were against, ; Democrats
and 3 Republicans undecided and Pop
ulists, socialist labor and one lndepen-
dant were against the repeal. A num-
Der Of the dispatches while willing to
express an opinion as to the adYisaeility
of repeating the Sherman law, suggest
no plan of currency issue. The sugges-
tions that are made in this direction are
vague. The schemes outlined embrace
the plan of the silver men for free coin
age, the Populists demand more
money, whether silver or paper. and Of
the more conservative who believe in a
National currency issue, the continu-
ance or extension of the National bank
ing system, or the establishment Of tho
State bank issues.

books, Our Church has taken position
narrower than that of any other in the
world. l do not believe it was legal or
constitutional. take the same position
practically as that taken by DR.. Briggs"
The members Of the Presbytery seemed
to endorse the sentiments Of DR.. Hall.
