The President and Mrs. Harrison Left at Noon for Washington, Tror, Sept. 20.—President and Mrs. Harrison left Loon Lake for Washington at noon today. Mrs. Harrison is improved in health, and the doctors decided that her condition would warrant her departure. The entire trip will be made by special train. From Loon Lake to Plattsburg the routo will be over the Chateaugay r At Plattsburg the special train will include @ baggage car, a drawing room car and a sleeping coach from the Pennsylvania railroad. The party will be in charge of Conductor W. McKinney and Engineer George Hydorn of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company from Plattsburg to Albany. The train will be due at White Hall at 6:90 o'clock, but the Jonly stop between Plattebarg and Albany wil be made at Saratoga at 7:35—ten minutes for lunch. Arriving at Albany at 9 o'clock the presidential party will be trans- ferred to the West Shore road, and at Jersey City the route to Washington will be continued | on the Pennsylvania railroad. The trip will be | 9 fast one, the time between some points being better than that of “limited” trains, ‘The Prosident informed Mrs. Harrison this morning that she would be taken homo today and she at once brightened up. Dr. Gardver wax much encouragedat her condition. He said rhe passed a comfortable night. The prospect of returning to Washington was gratify toher. The physician said he real- ized fully the great risk attending the removal, but he was now more confident that she would be able to stand it, and possibly be better for having a change. ‘The day is bright and clear and cold and altogether favorable for the journey. ‘Mrs. Harrison's perilous journey began wit h her transfer tothe long mountain wagon, by which she was to be conveyed to the nearest railroad station. She was raised tenderly from the couch on which she passed so many weary hours and was placed on a stretcher, covered with rags, blankets and pillows, Four strong men then carried her to tho wagon. The President and Dr. Gardner walked on either side, each holding one of the ient’s hands. Tho professional nursc was close be- ind and was followed by the rest of the house- old. ‘The stretcher was carefully placed in the wagon on alarge and comfortable cot. Dr. Gardner, the nurse and the President were the only other occupants of the wagon. ‘The other members of the family followed in tallv-ho coaches and other vehicles. ‘The same consideration accorded the afflicted family sinee its firt arrival at Loon Lake was observed today, and the transfer was accom- plished without tho slightest obtrusironess on the part of the guests of the place. All of them are greatly interested in the success of the undertaking, bnt this morning contented thomselves with watching the proceedings from a reepectful distance. The start from Loon Lake was made under the most auspicous conditions, with a cloudless sky, a health-giving breeze laden with inspiring pine and bsalm. Se RACE WAR IN ARKANSAS. Bitterness Over the Recent Election Leads to Bloodshed. Memrnis, Texy., Sept. 20.—An Appeal- Avalanche special from Camden, Ark., says: Startling news reaches this city from Calhoun county. A race war, with all its atrocities, is prevailing over there and the hitherto quiet county has beon suddenly transformed into a region of anarchy and death. Many rumors have gained _ circulation, tome probably unreliable, but several corroborated each other and out of the whole the following is probably true: For the past several days the negroes living in the southeastern portion of the county, region in which they outnumber ‘the white people six to one, have been very restless because of the white-capping of come of their race by unknown parties. ‘The pun- ishment was administered on account of out- rageous behavior on the part of the victims. Allowing the their discontent to break into negroes have been roving within the past fow days in band: armed to the testh and muttering threats of the most incendiary nature. So bold did the marauders becoms “that on meeting white peopie in the road they would insult and threaten them outrageoutly. Small gangs of negroes were continually riding over the coun- try behaving in this manner, and soon such cendngt became unbearable. The@hole matter culminated Se! ing near Kayford, when a battle Metween the whites and negroes occurred. three gf the Intter boing killed and seven wounded. negroes after the charge fired and escaped to the woods and hid themselves. ‘The whites have control, according to the last report, ‘The posse that made the charge on the belilg- erent blacks Saturday morning numbered titty men from all parts of the country and was in command of deputy sheriifs, one of whom was wounded.

Afthe Arlington cemetery yesterday after- noon the monument to be erected over the grave of the late Gen. George Crook was dedicated to his memory. The exercises were opened by ex-Prosidont Rutherford B. Hayes, who spoke as follows: Comrades: The Army of West Virginie and other friends of Gen. Cook determined imme- diately after his death that a suitable monument should be erected upon a chosen site. Upon its sides were to be the bronze that you havo seen, showing something of his record in the war for the Union, something of his record in wars against the Indians. Now we are to give bricf expression to our feelings and our sentiments, to express our re- gret, our admiration for that remarkable sol- diez. ‘ikis work was to have been done in the thorough way in which the comrade who is selected to do it docs all his work. Maj. McKinley of Ohio, a soldier under Crook as private at seventeen yenrs of age, rising through the various giides to be a major upon Crook's staf, knew im thoroughly, admired him as all men did who new hiny ‘thoroughly, been a labor of love for Gov. McKinley here to have spread beforo us in dotail in his eloquent comprehension of the career and chagacter of George Crook. I hold in my hand a dispatch which explains his absence: “My brother David's death will prevent me greeting my comrades. And of course our comrade and beloved brother McKinley cannot be cag to make the address which we would gladly have listened to, and we will now call upon some of the friends in an off-hand way to speak of Gen. Crook. Many of the men around me served with him. Some served with him in his old regiment, tho thirty-sixth Ohio. There are one or two more here who were with him in those famous campaigns against the savages, To Crook belongs the unique fame of being detailed first of ailasa warrior against the Indians, recommending full and umple justice, and possibiy even more than justice to the savages that he had warred against. . A soldier, a statesman, a philanthropist— these words were all to’ be graven upon the nite thut is over the grave of Gen. Crook. is tn ths proper place. I have called this the encampment of the honored dead of the Union army-—the last resting place and the permanent encampment; and what monuments of beauty and endurance are rising cverywhore over these beautiful grounds! But what are monuments? What is that graven even upon granite? The monuments of Crookand of Shert- dan and of all the oficers that are buried here, the monument is free, regenerated America, This is the monument all sufficient for those who are dead already and for those of jus who are to dio hereafter. No won- der wo love him. He understood hia men. A soldier educated at West Point, | he understood perfectly and appreciated the valuo and the character of the Humblest man that was ted in tho ranks that he com- manded. He understood their worth and their sacridices and perhaps in all the list of admira- ble men that were called into action during that interesting four years there was no man who was wo thoroughly loved by the men im- mediately under him as Gen. George Crook. He read a telogram from Maj. McKinley, who was expected to deliver an address, to tho effect that the death of his brother had made it impousible for him to be present. ‘Mi. BUTTERWORTH AND OTHER SPEAKERS, He then introduced to bis hearers ex-Repre- sentative Benjamin Butterworth of Ohio, who declared that the name of Gen. Crook was synonyinous with patriotism and gallant daring on the field of battle. ‘Ohio does | weil to honor him, for he honored Ohio in his | splendid and patriotic career. ‘The speaker re- ferred to the evils of immigration asa danger which Gen. Crook fuily appreciated. The sol- diers did not bare their breasts to the bullets to preserve this nation as the Botany bay | of the world, or as the camping ground of the waste and refuse humanity of earth. He wasn statesman aa well asa warrior, for he realized that in order to preserve our institutions watch- fulness isnec in peace as well as in war. Ex-President Hayes next introduced Capt. Thos, H. McKee of Indiana, who paid an clo- quent tribu’e to the decessed. The monument about to be erected will teach that he was beloved by all with whom he waa associated; that as s quiet, peaceful citizen, beloved by his country, honored by his comrades, he was one that could step out of the great arena of war into the marvelous civilization of a re- public unlike any other in the world and be- come one of the leading minds, a director of thought, a heroin civil as well as in military life. Capt. SeKeo was followed by Gen. Wm. H. Gib-on ef Ohio, who showed tho wide and varied service of ‘Gen. Crook; bo not only took Virginia and ‘in ths’ Army of the Cumberland, but also followed the Indian trail offectually from Mexico to British America. Geu.

Capt. Pipes was indorecd for the o2ice of senior vice commander-in-chief. Gen. Burdett eaid to a Stag reporter today: “The special phen ent, so called, of the department waa a gathering’ of such of the friends of the two rival candidates for thi office of senior vice commander-in-chiof as they a La ng Gat eres icampmient met. The greater body stayed away use thoy felt that such a strife was unseemly. Our lawfully authorized delegation in the national encampment will discharge the duty which is theirs, when called upon to do so, by recom- mending such a candidate as they may believe to bea fit representative of this Grand Army community, and will not fail to be sure that he is worthy and capable of serving the national body over which, in the order of providence, ho might be called to preside. WISCONSIN'S ABLE CANDIDATE. Capt. A. G. Weissert of Milwaukee is Wiscon- sin'’s candidate, for commander-in-chicf, and tion's capital from that state to support him than have ever attended an encampment of the G. A. R., excepting that in waukee in 1889. Capt. Weissert was born in Canton, Ohio, August 7, 1844, migrated to Wisconsin in February, 1861, ¢ in the olghth {gar evgle) ‘Wisconsin | regimont in April |, a8 a private; subsequently pro- moted to sergeant cajert ‘was wounded as ‘the battle of Nashville, December 15, 1864. As soon as able he returned to duty on crutchos and was brevetted captain for meri- torious service in the field. Capt. Weissort waa appointed a cadet at West Point in 1865, but was obliged to decline the appointment on ac- count of wounds received in battle. In 1888 he Was elected commander of the ment of Wisconsin, unanimously re-elected in 1889 and elected senior vice commander-in-chief same year. Mr. Weissert by profession is a lawyer and en- joys.a lucrative practico in Milwaukee, and is an idol in the ‘extimation of the Wisconsin MICHIGAN FOR WEISSERT. A majority of the Michigan delegation have come out squarely for Candidate Weinsert. A meeting was called at headquarters last night, at which over one-half the delegation were present. After @ protracted discussion a mo- tion declaring Mr. Weistert tho choice of the assemblage was carried. A second motion, instructing - the delegation to cast its vote as a unit for Mr. Weissert, was carried with only one dissenting voice. There are thirty-two votes in the Michigan departmont, und itis supposed a majority of them will be governed by the action of last night's meeting. Four of the mombers were found to- day who were not at the meeting and who declared they would not support Weissert, Col. Lincoln was not in the least cast down by. the attitude of tho Michigan department. He afew earnest workers in that delegation who visited him at his headquarters in tho Arlington today and pledged their vi Col. Lincoln claims to be steadily ing ground. He said this morning that ho was learning of acquisitions to his ranks right along. omto's Cnorce, Ohio’s candidate is Gen. 8. H. Hurst. The Obioan by a rising vote, and it is beld by his friends that the delegation here cannot in honor isregard the instructions A.W. Search of the Scioto Gazette said to- Gay that Gen. Hurst wotld certainly control a majority of the Ohio delegation and he belioved would ‘be elected. “Ohio,” said Mr. Search, “although furnishing a ’ tremendous for the Union, never — received its fair share | of consideration, state was central and should be recognized. | The other candidates are all able men, but I consider the best thing the oncampment could do for itself would be to elect Gen. Hurst. PENNSYLVANIANS WILL VOTE FOR LINCOLN. It is a settled matter now as to how the ballot of the keystone state's forty-five delegates to the business session of the encampment will be cast. There was more then a little doubt yes- terday in just what direction that cat of the Grand Army's legislative family would jump, but an informal caucus, which took place at the Ebbitt headquarters of the department last night, settled the matter beyond a quibble, and Pennsylvania will vote for Lincoln. As to a choice for the 1893 encampment, that was settled among ihe Pennsylvanians yester- day. Gov. Chase of Indiana knows how to work upaboom, and he hit upon a plan of having Tepresentative gentlemen from Indianapolis come here under his chaperonage and sing an invitation at ench headquarters. ‘The song @ genuine hoovier poem composed by . Woolt, Gov, Chaco preceded. the Commercial Club's «1x choristers to the Penn- sylvania headquarters, and after the members, Gen. Cavnahan, W. 8. Tarkington, Dr. Wood: ward, J. G. Blake, W. D. Butler and W. C. David, had raised salvos of applause by their musical abilities there was no further doubt. Andianapolis can have whatever votes the Penn- sylvanians are able to throw their way. TENNESSER'S CANDIDATE. The Department of Tennessee will placo in nomination the name ofRev. John H. Frazee, 94 D., a8 o@ candidate for chaplain- in-chief. A committee of three, con- sisting of Pret Department Com- mandera Wm. Rule, Chas. F. Miller and H. C. Whitaker, has been appointed to urge the co-operation of the several departments in favor of the cundidacy of Dr. Frazee. A cir- cular letter requesting the individual support of every Tennouseean has been distributed, and on it his been printed the war record of the candidate. If Dr. Frazee is not elected it will not be because he has not received the hearty support of the delegation from his native state. ee SOCIAL MATTERS.

The calm heart is liabie to beat a little irreg- ularly very soon, however, because New York is ona still hunt for the national presidency of the W.

Maxsachu- setts is entitled to the name ‘Mother of Presi- dentesses,” having furnished three since the order was established in Denver in 1883, and the bean-caters are after the office again’ this year.

Mrs. Sarah C.
