AFTER SEVEN DAYS.
This Presidential Party Returned to Wash

ington From the South Yesterday.
Washington Dec. 2O.-The presiden-
tial party, after an absence of seven
days in the south, arrived at the Penn
sylvania station over .the Southern rail-
road at 1870 o'clock this morning, ex-
actly on schedule time.
Wherever a stop was made the presi-
dent was received with greetings and
demonstrations of an enthusiastic
character. and during the entire week
there was not disturbing incident.
The run from Columbia was uneventful,
and on arrival here the train was run
up the Sixth street siding, where all
alighted. The president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley were driven to the White House
at once, and the members of the cab
met, Mr.. Porter and Mr.. Cortelyou sec
retaries to the president and their
wives were driven to their homes.
The last morning aboard the presi-
dental train was spent chiefly in fare
well visits paid upon each other by
members of the party. The president
received his guests in his own car He
expressed his entire satisfaction over
the trip. In this sentiment every mem
Der of the cabinet aboard heartily coin
cided, while Gems. Wheeler and Shaftsr
repeated the eulogistic expressions all
ready made in their public speeches.
The general impression prevailed that
the trip had cemented to marvellous
degree the good feeling between north
and south and had brought into prom
inence the excellent condition and cap
abilities of the army. The original OBJ
ject of the visit to celebrate the peace
with Spain lost its significance directly
after the presidents memorable utter
ance regarding the care of the confed-
crate dead
