man who owned the house in which he
lived. The lawyer had never met his

lawyer for q speech later in the even
ing the latter arose and C!UluGHtly
thanked the secretary who had ar
ranged the seats for the much sought
opportunity ofmeetng his landlord. He
described the vain efforts he had made
to have his landlord do something to
hi; house. Then in exaggerated fash
ion he described the house itself. He
said that its architecture was SO bad
that it deprecated the v3lue of prop
erty in the neighborhood It was a blot
on an otherwise fair landscape. and
when the wind blew is was possible to
fly kites in any room in It. The other
diners enjoyed the speech immensely
and when the landlord vainly pro-
tested that this description lbelled his
house the lawyer advised him to talk it
over with his agent. 1t cost the land
lord a large share of one months rent

Seminary. After studying law in Gin

the bar in 1854, and began the practice
of his profession at Indianapolis, Ind,
which has since been his home. The
first money he ever earned was as
crier OF the federal court at Tndianapo-
lis, at $3.50 per day. He pTacticed law
until the civil war broke out, when
he assisted in raising the Seventeen
Indiana regiment of volunteers, in

was mustered out June S, 1865, with a,

Postmaster General Emery Smith,
who returned to Washington late to-

country had very great respect for
General Harrison, and his death will
be universally deplored as a great pub
lie loss. He was one of the ablest men
who filled the presidential cI<lir. In
intellectual force, in civic virtue in
deep and genuine patriotism he ranks
among the fiTZt half-dozen in the whole
list. His greatness as a lawyer, his
thorough knowledge of affairs, his rare
administrative capacity, which enabled
him to guide any one of the executive
departments as he actually guided sew

fairs has deepened with passing years. -

HIS ADMINISTRATION
WAS A GREAT ONE

San Francisco, March 13.-Whitelaw
Reid of New York tonight said the
following of ex-President Harrison:
General Harrison ranked intellectual
ly among the ablest of our presidents.
His conduct of his office was Iaborious
and conscientious, and he was ready
when occasion required 1t, to assume
at the same time the detail duty of the
most exacting of the departments
His administration was pure, and
the country under it was prosperous
his absorption in his work sometimes
led to a bruSqueness of manner which
was mlScOnStrued, and those who
knew him slightly or not at all thought
him cold. Those more intimate found
him hearty, genial and in private life
full of quick and tender Sympathies.
He never forgot a friend or a service,
though his critics sometimes said that
the same tenacity of character might
occasionally make it difficult for him to
forget an injury.
He has distinctly gained in public
appreciation since his retirement from
office The loss of such a man, when
beyond further ambition and trusted
by the country. is almost the greatest
we could experience

une from London says: There Is no note

The text of the reply had not been seen

Washington, March 13.-Deep inter
est was exhibited in all of the execu-
tive departments throughout the day
in the reports that came as to the con-
dition of eX-President Harrison. AS
Office hours had closed for the day be-
fore the end came, the first official ac
ton regarding the death will be de-
ferred until tomorrow, when, following
presidents, President Mckinley will
issue his proclamation to the people,
notifying them of General HarriSOn's
death and setting out in becoming
terms his virtues and characteristics
He also will order salutes to be fired
at the various army posts on the day
of the funeral and on shipbOard when
the news is received. The secretary of
war and the secretary of the navy will
send out special notices to soldiers and
sailors, conveying the presidents d.
rectiOns in this matter.
Little more can be done officially, as
the act of March 3. 1898, specifically
forbds the draping of public buildings
in mourning or the closing of the eX-
ecutive departments on the occasion
of the death of an eX-Offcial
1t is a curious fact that two orders
issued by President Harrison himself
probably brought about the enactment
Of this law. Jan. Is, 1898, the president
was obliged to issue an order announc-
ing the death of eX-PreSident Hayes,
closing the departments on the day of
buildings to be draped in mourning.
Almost before this period of mourning
had expired eX-Secretary Blaine died.
and another funeral proclamation is
sued from the White House.
The long continuation of the exhibit
tiOns OF mourning were too much for
congress. which promptly passed the
act above referred to, prohibiting
mourning display and the closing Of the
departments on the occasion OF the
death of an eX-official.
The late President Harrison was per-
sonally known to every member of the
cabinet. and all it's members in the city
spoke in praise today OF his magnifi-
cent intellectually and rugged force
of character.
Naturally the proclamation the presi-
dent will issue setting out the admin
istrations estimate of General Harri-
sons character. in a large measure will
include the personal views of a major
ity of the cabinet. and consequently
they did not in most cases care to enter
into extended analysis of the good
q .alities of the deceased. Secretaries
Gage and Griggs are out of town.
Postmaster Smith was expected to re-
turn to Washington
Secretary of State Hay said: THE
death of MIR. Harrison is a national
loss. Independent of the great official
position he had held, he was a man
of extraordinary mental capacity and
activity. He was q true statesman,
lawyer and orator. and he has left few
men his equals behind him. IN char
acter as we'll as abilities he was a man
of very unusual force and value"

Harrison:

intelligence of Mr.. HarriSon'S death
for, notwithstanding the late discour-
aging reports of his conditinon. l hoped
his life might yet be spared. Not one
of our countrynen should for a mo-

have been performed in their behalf
by the distinguished dead. In high
public Office he was guided by patriot
ism and devotion to duty, often at the
sacrifice of temporary popularity, and
in private station his influence and
example were always in the direction
of decency and good citizenship. Such
a career and the incidents related to
it should leave a deep and useful i'm

Money for Military Purposes.

Yokohama. March 13.-The emperor
yesterday summoned the president of
the japanese house of peers and point
ed out to him that it was a national
duty to provide money for military
purposes and placing the finances of
the country upon a sound basis. The
lower house of the diet. the mikadO
went on to say, had already passed
the taxation bills mentioned in the
speech from the throne at the OPEN
ing OF the diet and it was highly de-
sirable that the house of peers should
also pass them. The house of peers
will probably defer to the emperor $
pointed suggestion and thus terminate
the crisis.
