PRACTICING FOR NEW YEAR President Harrison Shakes Hands With Abont Fifteen Hundred People Today. SEVERAL EXCURSION PARTIES FROM XEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND AND THE VARIOUS SCIEN- FAFIC BODIES NOW 1X SESSION HERE MAKE UP THE chowD, The President took a course of muscle work this afternoon axa part of his system of train- ing for the ordeal of Now Year day. His strong right arm and his good grip have had compara- tively little exercise of late, and the opportu- nity that was offered today of shaking bands with three large excursions from the north and s big combination of semi-scientitic societies was too good to be lost. So after his return from the Thorndike-Sherman wedding he nerved himself for the experience and de- scended to the east room, which was already filled with people. He begar: shaking hands at five minutes be- fore 1 o'clock, and he kept up the pump-handle action for half an hour. During that period he managed to take hold of the hands of 1,357 people, if the tally of Doorkeeper Turner, wlio Id a hand turnstile on the crowd, is to be believed. The counting artist himself, however, is of the opizion that he iissed some heads in the rush and estimates that there were 1.500 people altogetber in the lino that filed past the Presi- lent. Firat thore was an excursion party of about 600, school teachers and their friends from New York and Boston, brought down for a pano- ramic view of Washington by the Pennsylvania railroad. + Then there was a Mlendricke party of 200 tore and 150 additional people from New York, also under Perneylyania railroad auspices. While these wore being compressed into dis- gusted humanity in the east room and then being shaken out again in the form of de- lighted patriots by’ the President, the main corridor, just inside the front door, was fill- ing up with 4 series of scientific aggregations, The ocicties now holding their annual meetings in this city were assem bled by concerted arrangement in this space, givided off into four lots aggregating probably ‘They were the Forestry Association, the Folk Lore Society, the Modern Languages As- Sociation and the Church History Society. When the east room had become sufficiently cleared for the: purpose theso societies were let in one by one, and the President had the honor of shaking aands by introduction. It didn't seem te make much difference, how- ever, except that the process was slower. | First came the forextere headed by Assistant Secre- tary Willity, whe gct through im a very few minutes. Not so with the modern linguists, ‘They came in a clond and kept coming. ‘The President was going to throw up the sponge when the first batch of scientists passed him. He did not know there were any others, and sc he turned to flec, but was called back by Capt. Densmore, who did not care to have 200 disappointed prononneers of & vigorous medern language on his hands. Besides the excursioniete and the scientists there were a good many ordinary tourists, brides and grooms beinga strong icature of the landscape. —— oo INTERVIEWER AND INTEKVIEWED. Senator Sanders Convinces a New Corre- npondent of Theit stutual Relations, Most of the newspaper correspondente in this city are of opinion that Senator Sanders of Montana is an original somebody. One of the new men is deeply mmpressed with the Mon- tana man’s originality. It seems that the recent arrival was desirous of inter- viewing the Senator, and meeting him at ‘the Oapitei notified him that he expected a talk on the irrigation of arid lands. Now, Col.

Browxsvitte, Trxas, Dec. 30.—Garza’s men are stili hiding in the brash. The military au- thorities at Ringgold have learned the names of several ranchers who have harbored and as- sisted Garza’s men. Warrants will be issued and these parties will be arrested for violation of the neutrality laws. Nothing was heard from Fort Ringgold yesterday from Captain Hardie's forces. At Carrezo everything is quiet’ Rumors from the Mexican side say 4.000 Mexican gov- ernment troops stationed at Mier have revolted end killed their commanding officer and are off to join Garza’s bund. Aavices have been re- ceived from Ringgold from Capt. Hardie at Carrozo that Garza hae united 250 of his men north of ‘opcria, He is reported desperate and will fight any one who opporeshim. There re United States troops aud rangers enough in that vicinity to give him a good fight. A day or two ago the Mexican troops hada skirmish with somo of the bandits and this ac- count was sent by the Mexican officers to the United States government: “A gang of bandits numbering ninety-two crossed the io Grande into Mexico and the samo day hed an en- counter at Ins Tortillas with a body of troops, at that time supposed to be com- posed of twenty-five men, but it was afterward found there were only’ thirteen, the other twelve being out on a scout. ‘The troops routed tho bandits, killing three and wounding a num- ber, while they sustained a loss of two dead and three “wounded. The —_ following mounting one of the detachments which was in pursuit of the bandits at- tacked them at Elvagre, a place six leagues distant from Valleciilo, and during the short tight that occurred succeeded in killing one of the bandits and capturing two carbines and four horses. Last night the gang was elotely pursued by four sections of troops. and, despite the cifort to cut them off from the river, they succeeded in crossing the Rio Grande near Los Lajedas into Texas. Assistant Adjutant General J. P. Martin of this military department has received a dis- patch trom Capt. A. W. Pollock of the twenty- third infantry, 1 command at Fort Melu giving information concerning the position of the troops stationed at that post. He states that troop A left that post on December 25. Troop G is on the river about twenty- five miles above Koma, ‘ex. Troop I is on the river a day's warch from Roma, en route to Carrizzo, Tex. The order issued for troops D and K of tne third cavairy to pro- ceed by special train to the scene of the trouble from the post at San Antonio, was not carried out as the transportation of facilities could not be secured. ‘They will no: leave until Satar- ‘day unless thei: presenco is urgently needed before that time. GARZA ESTABLISHES HEADQUARTERK Gen, Stanley has received a dispatch from Maj. Gen. Schofield stating that he had just been informed by the Mexican minister at Washi yn that Catarina Garza has estab- lished headquarters at the Prieto ranch in Starr county, Texas, and that he is holding ase prisoner a prominent citizen of Mexico. The dispatch requests that Gen. Stanley will, in compilance with instructions heretofore given him by the Secretary of War, employ all the means ‘at bis disposal to prevent any further violation of the neutrality iaws, Geu, Stanley states that Second Lieut. George T. Langhorne of the third cavalry is now scouting with his command or thirty troops in the vicinity of the Prieto ranch. La horue left Fort Ringgold four ¢: ago on a scouting expedition through Duval and Starr ‘counties, which are the strongholds of the revolutuonists. Nothing bas been heard from him or any of his com- mand since their departure from Fort King- gold, and as they are over aday'smarch from the post and in the tuidst of Garza’s men grave fears are entertained for their safety. GARZA’S RECRUITING STATIONS. There has been conclusive proof obtained that Garza has established recruiting stations at @ number of ranches all along the border between Eagle Pass and Brownsville on the ‘Texas side and that bundreds of his sympathiz~ ers aro crossing over from Mexico at the un- rotected fords of the Ric Grande and enlist- login hisarmy. ‘the 700 United States troops are almost wholly powerless to prevent this flagrant Violation of the neutrality law owing to the vast frontier territory there is to be covered. ‘The revolutionists have evidently no fears from the United States military and, there- fore, find more congenial to on recruiting — operations ide of the border. Firearms and am- wunition supplies in all the towns along the border and in Monterey, Mexico, have been quietly purchased by secret agents of the revo- lutionists at Monterey, according to a Gisyatch received. There is believed to bea large scevet following of Garza, which is ready to join him at the preper time when the details of his campaign have been fully ar- ranged. Thereis atecling of uneasiness among all classes of foreigners, and especially among Americans, in Mexico and many of them are leaving the country before the present trouble assumes a more serious phase. United States troops are meeting with difti- culties and encumbrances in their scouting operations, and in order to overcome this to some extent a pack mule train consisting of twenty-five mules and six experienced Indian scouts have been ordered to the turbulent rection from Fort D. A. Russell, Wy- oming, department of the Platte. ‘This foree will be greatly augmented ‘upon ite arrival here and it is ex will render great assistance to the troope in the field.
