Former Political Rival.

PRINCETON, y. j. March 1S.-Former
President Cleveland tonight gave out the
following statement on the death Of form
er President Harrison:
Il am exceedingly moved by the sal
intelligence of Mr.. Harrison's death. for.
Notwithstanding the late discouraging re-
ports OF his condition. | hoped that hts
life might yet be spared. Not one of our
countrymen should for a moment fail to
realize the service which has been per-
formed in their behalf by the distinguished

by patriotism 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 ca
reer and the incidents related to it should
leave a deep and useful impression upon
every section of our national hfe."

WhiteIaw Reid on the characteristics
of the Great Statesman.

of the Great Statesman.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-Whitelaw
Reid. of New York, tonight said the fol-
lowing of ex-President Harrison:
General Harrison ranked intellectually
among the ablest of our Presidents. His
conduct of his office was labOriOus ami
conscientious, and he was ready when
occasion required 1t to assume. at the same
time, the detailed duty of the most ex-
acting of the departments. His admins
tration was pure, and the country under
IL was prosperous. His absorption in his
work sometimes led TO a brusqueness OF
manner which was misconstrued, 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 s~ympathies.
He never forgot a friend or a service,
though his critics sometimes said that the
same ~tenacity of character might OCCASION
ally make il difficult for him to forget an
injury. He distinctly gained in public ap-
p~reclatiOn since his retirement from OF
fee. The loss of such a man when be-
yon6 further ambition and trusted by the
country is almost the greatest We could
experience"

our country. He was great in every de-
partment of life-as a soldier in the civil
war, as a lawyer practicing in the court
of the very highest tribunal and as a states
man. He held the first rank as a senator
of the United States and subsequently ex-
hibited the broadcast mind and the highest
diplomatic skill in his treatment of the

Recommended.

The committee on streets of the as
sembly held a, meeting late yesterday
afternoon, but did not do anything Of
Importance with the exception of voting
to report favorably on a ffteen-year
lease on new armory.
Adj. Gen. Lambert was present and
told of the plans of the Armory associa :
ton. He stated that it was their plan
to give the present property to anyone
who would go in and build a new arm
DRY, to cost in the neighborhood of $780,
900, on the condition that he would lease
it to the city for $1,000 per year. What
the Armory association wanted was the
council to say that it would enter into
lease for fifteen years. After a great
deal of discussion it was decided to re-
port faVorably on the lease, which has
been before the assembly before. There
was some discussion as to whether the
matter was before the committee on
streets at the present time, City Clerk
Jensen claiming that the lease was taken
from the committee and put to a final
vote at the last regular meeting of the
assembly and lost. Assemblymen Craig,
Wheeler and Benson. however, thought
this view wrong and that there was
some mistake, and decided to take it I'D
yesterday. The other 5000 of the $4,000
appropriation is to go to the maintenance
of the building, outside of the rent. such
as light, heat, etc.
The matter of a five and seven minute
service on the Rondo street line. which
has passed the board of aldermen was
partially discussed and laid over. The
rest of the matters, which were before
the committee, were all laid over with
out being taken up at all.
