COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTION.
A Harrison Memorial Adopted by the
Directors.

The Commercial Club directors met at
noon yesterday and took action in regard
10 the death of General Harrison. 1t was
decided that the directors should partic.-
pate in the military demonstration to-day,
riding in carriages. The following me
mortal was adopted:
'In the death of Benjamin Harrison. an
honored member of the Commercial Clue,
the city of Indianapolis has lost its most
DISTINGUISHED citizen. Departing from us in
the plenitude of his splendid powers, we
looked with confidence for wise counsel and
disinterested public service. We rejoice in
the certain knowledge that he loved our
people as they loved and respected him.
.'The great honorS which were bestowed
ON him by an appreciative public seemed
only TO bring him nearer to his friends and
neighbors. While his great mind was il
the public service, his heart was ever a.
home. We rejoice in the courage Of his
the dignity of his character. BY not always
descending 10 the popular level, he was en-
abled through his example to lift Others TO
a higher plane of personal, professional and
political life.
III has left us the rich legacy of a ca
reer full of justly merited triumphs. In
the distinction which our city and State
has gained through him he had more pride
and satisfaction than in the personal glory
to himself.
.'Our leader, friend and fellow-citizen has
gone. but left so deep an impression of his
high principles. sincerity and patriotism
that his spirit will be a guide and active
influence in all relations among this people
whom he loved"

pealed TO General Harrison's judgment and
heart. When his term as President expired
and he again returned to his home he kind
ly accepted a place on the advisory board
of the state association, in which capacity
he rendered valuable service by his counsel
and suggestions. In his speech, when pre-
siding at the state dinner in 1896, he showed
his thorough grasp of the real meaning and
significance of the association movement.
Later, when presiding at the anniversary
of the Brightwood railroad department. and
in impromptu speeches at other times, he
demonstrated his confidence in the associa-
ton and the deep interest he felt in its
purposes and work.
General Harrison was a regular con-
tributor to the treasury of both the local
and state associations, often responding TO
special appeals, being among the first to
send his check in such emergencies as
those during the Spanish war.
1T is, therefore,, with feelings of tender
affection and gratitude that we record in
the minutes of the state association the
sense of the service done by Benjamin Har-
rison for our organization, our recognition
of his broad Christian charity, of his So
licitude for the welfare of young men and
his deep love for the Master and loyalty TO
His work"

PROMOTIONS IN THE NAVY.
Recent Act of Congress Construed by
the Secretary of the Navy.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary
Long to-day rendered a decision on that
feature of the recent enactment of Con-
gress promoting officers for gallant service
and providing that the promotion of these
officers shall not interfere with the regular
flow of promotions. 1t was difficult to recon-
Gle these extra promotions and the regular
promotions, and Congress provided that the
promotions for g%allantry should be carried
on the naval list as additional names"
The effect of this promises to be very far
reaching, for. in effect, these additional
names make n large increase in the navy.
For instance, the rear admiralS are in
creased from eighteen to at least twenty
enc, with prospects of further increase,
while the captains, numbering about fifty,
may be increased from sixty to seventy
five. Sc it runs all through the naval list.
The decision to-day, more particularly. re,
ferred to certain officers whose cases served
as a sort of test on the construction of the
entire law. Mr.. Long holds that the addi-
tional officers are not to be so regarded
until they reach the higher grade to which
they are promoted. The effect of this is TO
make Rear Admiral Higginson an addi-
tiOnal officer of that grade from the date
of the act. Capt. Edward Nj. Shepard, being
then at the head of the captains list. is
promoted to the grade of rear admiral.
The Bureau of Navigation had urged that

simultaneously with President Shepard, but
Secretary Long holds that Captain Wildes
must await a vacancy in the list of rear
admirals. For similar reasons, the secre-
tary holds that Lieutenant Commander w.
b. Bailey cannot be promoted under a
clause of the act The secretary lays down
the general principle that the purpose of
the law was not TO hasten promotion
among officers advanced for war service,
but to prevent interference with promo
tons. 1t is also held that Col. X. w. Hunt
ingtOn. II. s. nj. c.. is unaffected by the
act.
The Board of Awards of the Navy De-
rartment to-day recommended TO Secretary
Long that Colonel Robert l.. Meade, United
States marine corps, be brevetted brigadier
general. United States marine corps, for
distinguished conduct in the presence of
the enemy at the battle of Tien-Tsin,

ORPHANS HOME OFFICERS.


AT a called meeting yesterday at the resi-
dence of Mrs. ]. A. Bradshaw of the man
ayers and advisory board of the Indianap-
oils Orphans Asylum the following memoir
ial was adopted:
Our board of managers and advisory
board are again called upon to mourn the
loss of one of our most efficient members.
In the sudden death of General Harrison
we recognize an affliction and a solemn
voice saying TO each of us, Whatsoever thy
hand findeth to do do it with thy might.
His willingness to aid in all our enterprises
for the success of our asylum makes his re-
mOval from our midst a loss which 1t is
impossible to estimate. General Harrison
and his wife. Caroline Scott Harrison, as
early as 1861 were active workers for the
Indianapolis Orphan Asylum. AT the an
nual meeting in May of that year James M.
Ray presided and Mr.. Benjamin Harrison
acted as secretary, and has been actively
associated with our institution a period of
forty years, and we that have known him
bear testimony to his faithful performance
OF duty. General Harrison's love and SYM
pathy for children made him especially
solicitous for the little homeless wallis
placed in our care. When we took possess
sion of our new home he was present at the
first meal and asked the blessing at the
table. We shall miss his counse and his
presence at our annual donation day and
our anniversaries. His example should be
a stimulus to us to be more faithful.
1--WE extend To the bereaved wife and
family our -enderest and loving sympathy
in their great affection, and prey that the
choicest blessings of our Heavenly Father
may rest upon and comfort and sustain
them"
These resolutions were signed by all the
officers and members

occasion of the funeral of the late Presi-
dent Faure, in 1899, has been abandoned in
consequence of the authorities having is

thereupon decided that it was impossible
TO avoid police Intervention, and, as the
origin of the quarrel was political. the
honor of the principals was not concerned.
Detectives Swallowed NM. Buffet and De-

evening, not leaving them for an instant.
A meeting of the seconds was held at mid
night, and they drew up the following dec

rison: All his faculties were under the
guldance OF a conscience that never slept.
The literary style of General Harrison
exhibited the qualities of his character. 1t
was concise. clear, strong. direct. 1t
avoided display and verbal rhetoric with
out exception. Although occasionally intro
ducing beautiful figures of speech, as. for
instance. in his Interview of the last cam
paign, where he declared that the man who
had sought to destroy the temple OF public
honor ought not to be permitted even to
lean against one of its columns, yet these
figures were never used for adornment, but
only for sincere and apt Illustration of the
manifest In his style, two sources from
which his best Illustrations and phrasing
were drawn One was his experience as a
soldier at the front and the other was his
Bible An instance of the former was con-
tanned In his last address at this club. when
responding TO the toast Hail Columbia
he INTRODUCED that marvellous passage about
nal for breaking camp. Strangely enough,
II was indeed once more the signal for him
OF his earthly habitatiOn.
An instance of a happy phrase turned
from the Bible was his notable speech at
the commercial CUB upon the toast Ise-
lected by himself) No Mean City. That
phrase has gone throughout the United
States and will not be forgotten in its APP
plication 10 our beloved indianapolis by
any mar of the present generation.
General Harrison was the greatest mem
Der of this club. the greatest citizen of this
State, the greatest lawyer OF his time and
one OF the wisest and most conscientious
statesmen of his country. He has left US
forever; our love and admiration follow
him TO his grave. To earth we commit his
body, TO Almighty God his soul and to his
tory his name and fame

unanimously adopted by the School Board,
last evening: ''In the death OF Benjamin
Harrison the public schools OF indianapolis
have lost a loyal friend. General Harri-
sons face and figure were familiar to the
children and his words were an inspiration
TO them. as the memory Of his life will be.
He believed I'm the common schools and he
proved his faith by his labors In their be
half. Whatever the people undertook in
the way of educational reform was sure
OF his support. And whatever had his sup
port in this community, where he was
known best and loved best, was sure OF
success

Benjamin Harrison has been a member
