at ITO o'clock, and after a five-minute
stop proceeded west. Frank P. Sargent,
commissioner general Of immigration, who,
joined the party at Philadelphia, left the
train at this point. s.
United States Senator Quay rode with
the president from Trenton to Philadel-
phia. The senator went at once to the
presidents car and was in close confer
ence with him. The talk was in a way
supplementary to the conference which
the president had with Senators Hanna,
Spooner, Allison, Aldrich and Lodge last
Tuesday evening. It covered nearly the
same grounds, but related especially to
the course Of politics In Pennsylvania.
The president found that Mr.. Quay was
just as hearty in his approval of the re-
suits of the speeches on trusts which the
president has been making as Messrs.
Spooner, Aldrich and Allison had been,
and rather more enthusiastic than MI.
Hanna had been.

talked with the president all the way to
Harrisburg. The president wanted to talk
to Mr.. Sargent as an expert in labor mat
tiers. The president is to make speech to
a convention of employees and employers
at Minneapolis in which he will be called
upon to say much about organized labor.
labor conditions generally in selecting the
points on which he will dwell in his Min
neapoliS speech.
The Presidents Train.
1t was by far the most sumptuous train
which the president has used this sum-
mer. There was the combination car At
lantic, used as an exhibition car at the
Chicago fair. It contains a bathroom and
a barbershOp well as a comfortable cafe
| arrangement and a baggage compartment.
Then there were two brand new, Pullmans
| which had never carried passenger be-
fore; they are decorated and are sur
rounded with electric lights. n
At Harrisburg some 400 people outwitted
the police and gathered about the presi-
dents car and shouted for a speech. The
president said a few words OF greeting,
most of which was addressed to a tow
| headed little girl, whose father held her
up above the heads of the crowd. /
