Junction attracted over 1VO people lbte
yesterday afternoon. in the expectation
Of feastIng their eyes on General Miles,
General shafter, General Joe" Wheeler,
and lesser lights of distinguished par
" bound for the Omaha exposition. The
Baltimore & Ohio special was late in ar
rIving. owing TO detentinns at important
points along the road from Washington,
and Benwood wasn't reached until $40
o'clock.
The crowd had waited patiently for
over an hour. and the approach. of the
train through the gathering darkness
was the signal for general rush. In
point of equipment and furnishings the
train was the finest possible. 1t was
made up of three Wagner sleepers, a
wagner buffet, and a private car and
diner attached, for General Miles and
party. At the Junction a change Of en-
gines was effected, the operation con-
suming about FIVE minutes, during which
General Miles shook hands with all who
pressed forward to greet him.
Much to the regret of the crowd
neither General shafter nor General
wheeler was with the party. General
shafter was called to New York shortly
! before the train left Washington, and
General Wheeler received sudden call
20 his home in Huntsville. Ala. General
shafter, however. will leave for Omaha
later, probably tomorrow. General
Miles car was the rear one. and Il ma
turally was the chief object of attention.
The general was attired In civilian
clothes, and was apparently in splendid
health. The only remarks ne made
while standing out on the platform. aside
from the "thank yous" to each PERSONS
proffered hand and greeting, were when
he paused to look at the hills and river.

The foreigners in the party were char
acterlstically attlred. The male mem-
beers OF the japanese legation smoked
cigarettes, not unlike small edition Of
the wheeling 'three-fors" The ever
present and ubiquitous small boy had to
be heard, and he cried out to q Jap pass
inE through the car: Hello, Lung

and they we're addressed briefly by Cen
eral Miles. Senator Thurstun and the
Chinese and Korean ministers, WI Ting
Fang and Chin Pom Ye, respectively,
whether Falrmonters are posted in Chi
nese or Korean oratory the deponent
doth not say. A short stop was made at
Warrington, General Miles bowling his
acknowledgements to the applause ten
