ceived letter from Judge Taft, pres

in which Judge Taft said: Nothing
can more closely weld the people of
these islands to us than to secure the
education in America of their bright
young men. They need to be educated
in our institutions by being under
them. If 1000 or 1,50O of the young
men of this country could be educat-
ed in the academies and colleges OF
the United States it would be a long
step toward preparing these islands

Many Men of Note Attend Funeral
of Ex-President Harrison.
President Mckinley Ordered Mourning for
80 Days-Services at indianapolis Showed
the Love and Esteem In Which the
Dead Statesman Was Held

Indianapolis, Ind, March 1s.-The
death of eX-President Benjamin Har-
rison was quiet and painless, there
being a gradual sinking until the end
came, which was marked by a single
gasp of breath as life passed from
the body of the great statesman. Mrs.
Harrison knelt at the right-hand side
of the bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers, while DR.. Jameson
held the left hand of the dying man,
counting the feeble pulse beats. A
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the enJ
came, DR.. Jameson announcing the
sad fact. The great silence that fell
on the sorrowing watchers by the
bedside was broken by the voice of
DR.. Haynes raised in prayer. suppli-
eating consolation for the bereaved
wife and family, mingling with the
sobs of the mourners.
No sooner was the news of the death
of eX-President Harrison flashed to
the world than the messages of in
quiry which had been pouring in for
several days changed to messages of
sympathy and coincidence. The mes
sages came from intimate friends and
admirers of the general and from

CONGRESS MAY BALK,
A Growing Helief That st. Louis VIII Lose
S5,OO0,OOO Appropriation If Fair Is
Postponed Until 1904.

Washington, March 15-When con
gress meets in December an effort
will be made to repeal the law passed
in the last moments of the recent
session appropriating $5,coO.0OO for
the proposed St. Louis worlds fair.
1t is now asserted that st. Louis OBJ
tanned the money under false pre-
lenses. Congress made the aDDropri-
alton on the understanding that the
fair should be held in 1903 to cele-
brate the centennial of the purchase
of the Louisiana territory from
France. Managers of the enterprise
are now setting on foot a movement
to have congress authorize postpone
ment of the fair until 1904, and it
is commencing to be generally believed
that there has not been any intention
of holding the fair in 1903. 1t is said
to- be doubtful if it is held before

1t cannot be said that this order is at

men who had been associated with
him in public life at one time or an
other. The greater part of them
were of such an intimate personal
nature that Mrs. Harrison felt that
their contents should not be given
to the public. One of the first mes
sages to be received was from eX-
President Cleveland. who was twice
the rival of Gen. Harrison for the
presidency, once successful and once
defeated. Early Thursday morning
President and Mrs. Mckinley sent a
message full of sympathy and lauding
the dead statesman.
In the sick mans delirium, which
lasted from late Sunday night until
he became totally unconscious Tues
day afternoon, his mind wandered
back over the scenes of his life. Now
he was the soldier charging with his
column and again he was the states
man speaking before the convention
that nominated him for president.
The funeral took place Sunday aft
ernoon at two o'clock, from the First
Presbyterian church, of which Gen.
Harrison had been a member nearly
so years. The body lay in state in
the rotunda of the state capitol from
IL o'clock Saturday until 10 o'clock
at night, guarded by a detachment of
the state militia, and was viewed by
thousands of former friends and adj
mirers. The highest honors which
was in the power of the state of In
diana to pay were rendered to the
remains. On Saturday every military
organization in the state took part in
the ceremonies. Gov. Durbin sent out
invitations to the governors of every
state and territory in the union and
many of them were present with their
STATS. Railroads made a reduced rate
to Indianapolis and over 100000 visit
ors were here Saturday and Sunday.
The honorary pall-bearers were former
members of his last cabinet. They are:
John w. Foster, secretary of state;
Charles w. Foster, secretary of the
treasury; Stephen B. Elkins, secretary
of war; B. F. Tracy. secretary of the
navy; John W. Noble, secretary of the
interior; John Manamaker, post
master general; w. H. II. Miller, at
torney general, and jeremiah Rusk,
secretary of agriculture.
The funeral was attended by Pres
ident Mckinley and his cabinet, JUS
tices OF the supreme court, senator's,
representatives, ambassadors and
many others high in the military and
civil ranks of the nation. The event
was not only one of national sig
nificance. but of international inn
portance- Every public building and
business house in Indianapolis, and
nearly every private residence was
draped in mourning. Business of all
kinds was practically suspended.
