HARRISON TO MARRY.
WIN Wed Mrs. DImmick Sometime After
Lent.


Lent.
New York. Ian. 1S.-The fact that
General Harrison had an important
statement to make drew large crowd
OF politicians and other to the c0rri-
doris OF the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. Many OF the politicians expect
ell that General Harrison would make
declaration ms 10 his candidacy for
president. and Were disappointed when
they heard that the general talked OF
matrimonial affairs instead OF politics.
At the appointed time Mr.. Tlbbitis. the
generals private secretary, made the
following statement In his room, where
he received the members OF the press:
General Harrison authorizes the an-
nounccmcnt that he and Mrs. Dim
mick are engaged to I've married, aud
that the marriage viii not take place
until after Lent
When the secretary finished reading
the announcements, he refused Ia say
anything further. other than eS-Prcsi-
dent Harrison would probably leave for
Indianapolis ON Monday, returning TO
Washington IN time TO argue the Stan
ford lawsuit.
Mrs. Dimmlck, TO whom the general
Is engaged. Is better known In Indian
apolis and Washington than In New
York. During the life Of Mrs. lIarri-
son. who WAS her aunt, Mrs. Dimmlcls
practically governed Mr.. IIarrison's
household In indianapolis and directed
the household affairs OF the White
House during the period that Mrs.
Harrison was III, and prior to her
death. That Mrs. DmmIcl, was ia
,orite with the then prcsldcn, In Wash.
ington Ii without doubt. Al all state
functions she received with Mrs. Har-
rlson. when alive. ani acting In her
place later when she WAS sick.
II IL understood that the step was not
taken by General Harrison without
consulting his children, OF whom he liz
very fond.
Mr.. Dlmmlck Is forty years of agc.
tall and striliingly handsome brunette.

Cuba, vonczuclR and the Isthmus Of
Panama.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Davis
OF the Senate committee on foreign re-
latiOns to-day reported favonbly the
following resolution enunciating the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is the result OF the
lengthy consideration of the committee
OH the ACCESSIBILITY Of Incorporating the
Monroe doctrine In the federal stat
utes.
Concurrent resolution relative to the
assertion and enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurring, That,
whereas President Monroe, in his mes
sage to Congress of December 2, A. ID.
1923, deemed 1t proper to assert as n
principle In which the rights and inter
ests Of the United States are involved,
that the American continents, by the
free and Independent condition which
they have assumed and maintained,
We're thcnceforth not to be considered
ms subjects for future colonization by
any European power.
Whereas, President Monroe further
declared In that message that the Unit
cd States would consider any attQplpt
by the allied powers Of Europe u cx.
tend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety; that with the existing col
nnInS nj al Of tr
pean power we have not intcrfcrcd and
shall not Interfere, but that with the
governments who have declared their
Independence and maintained 1t, whose
Independence we have, on great con-
sldcration and on just principles, ac-
knowledgcd, we could not view any in-
tcrposltlon for the purpose of oppress-
Ing them or controlling in any other
manner their destiny by any European
power, In any other light than as n
manifestation Of an unfriendly dispo-
sltion toward the United States; and
further reiterated In that message that
1t is impossible that the allied powers
shall extend their political system to
any portion of either continent without
cndangcring our peace and happiness;
and
Whereas. The doctrine and policy so
proclaimed by President Monroe have
since been repeatedly asserted by the
United States, by executive declaration
