Ex-President Harrison, who went 10
Paris in May, as counsel for Venezuela,
before the Anglo Venezuelan Arbitration
Commission. was a passenger on the
American Line steamship st. Paul. which
arrived here yesterday morning. With
him were Mrs. Harrison and their child.
As the passage across the Atlantic was
stormy, Mrs. Harrison was sick much of
the time. General Harrison. who says
he is not IN the best Of health. declared,
however, that he had not missed a-meal
through sickness.
Il have enjoyed the trip" he said.

time i'm Germany. and while there ! saw
the Kaiser / talked with him for a short
time, and found him a very agreeable
man. When you ask me what he said

time in London before sailing to this
country.
THE weather was thick when I was
there. and ! caught a bad cold i'm the

sailing. II was private no reporters were
present. and / made a little speech"
Mr.. Harris0n's attention was called 10
the report that he had had a falling out
with Ambassador Choate over the failure
Of the latter to attend the dinner. This he
Indignantly denied. Il have not had a
falling out with Mr. Choate." he said.
"and we are as friendly as ever. / think
he is good man for the place. and he IS
doing good work there for the govern
ment
When asked about the Venezuela Ar
bitration question he az first refused to
say ANYTHING on the subject. Afterward
he said:
II do not call the decision OF the COM
mission n victory. II was a compromise.
! cannot say anything on that subject
without deliberation. and for that reason
/ will not at this time discuss the affair
"As to the war in the Transvaal. I do
not care 10 have anything 10 say on the
subject. l was I'm England only n short
time. and was not i'm a position TO study
the sentiment there. There may be an
undercurrent against the war over there.
but I was not situated so that I could
ascertain IT,"
When asked about the war I'm the
Philippines. and the political situation,
General Harrison refused 10 talk.
General Harrison and his family went
at once to the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

Now. there they go to shake hands will

hear what they are saying TO each other
as they meet. They seem cordial Why
shouldn't they be? Their engagement is
purely n professional one. just as friendly
as the engagement OF two lawyers, who
meet in court to fight for all they are
worth. That is all these men are doing,
fighting for a victory that means every
thing in the world for them. There is
no malice about it,
Ibid you ever see two such big men i'm
the ring before? l don't believe that in
all the history of the ring two men of
that size and Of as great cleverness ever
faced each other. You noticed as they
walked to their corners that they are
both az quick and easy in their move
ments as a couple of feather-weights.
Could anything be more touching, more
vivid. or more picturesque Than Gentle

scene between the famous 'brnisers."

MISTAKE IN BANK STATEMENT.

There is great public interest nowadays

This increase was much greater than
those familiar with the situation had ex-
pected, and various rumors were current
as to mistakes in the statement.
II can be positively stated that there
was this basis for these rumors-namely.
that ono of the banks I'm the Clearing

reporting its condition, by credting itself
with nearly 100000 more cash on hand

this is the largest error that has ever oc-

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

however. this contention, it is now sald'

ability TO discharge regular daily duties
q lower health average IS to be expected
during the autumn among members of a

eleven of the University Of Pennsylvania
in order to prepare for Saturdays contest
with Harvard. had TO abandon attendance
on the regular exercises of the In
stitution on Wednesday. and go to At
lantic CITY. Ito freshen up Tor the game.
How necessary was this trip Of athletes
to a health resort is shown by the state
ment that, when they left Philadelphia,
"the men were in poor physical condi-
ton" that "Coombs was almost the only
sound man on the team, and that il was
hoped that the sea air would improve
them in spirit as well as i'm body" In

sion is now well recognized as something
which is expected to affect college
athletes. along with the poor physical

these devotees Of physical culture.
However. it is hut proper 10 say that
football can scarcely be regarded as a

ton help the average student, both
