The Pan-American Congress, which convened at Washington in the winter of 1889-90, was largely due to President Har- rison’s efforts and advocacy. During the first two vears of his ad- ministration six new States, North and Bouth Dakota, Washington, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming formed constitutions and were admitted into the Union. During his administration a number of Commissioners were appointed under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior to make treatles with the various tribes -5 His time for the next two years was al- most entirely absorbed with this impor- tant matter, and as the court sat in Paris he was absent from home a good part of the time. Though opposed by the most eminent legal talent of the British Empire, he made his case successfully, and was pald a fee of $150,000 for his serv- ices by the grateful South American re- public. But a short time ago he was ap- pointed by President McKinley as one of the four American members of the Inter- national Court of Arbitration suggested by The Hague peace conference. History Will Accord Him High Place. In the early part of 1505, when the whole country was concerned as to the Cuban question, Mr. Harrison announced himself as in favor of armed intervention and lent his most cordial support to the Government in the subsequent prepara- tions and operations against Spain. When the enemy was beaten, however, and the object fgr which the war was under- taken accomplished he fell out of accord with the policy of the administration, which began to show imperialistic and expansive tendercies, and later as a Re- publican and within the lines of his party he used both his pen and his voice in -‘- vigorous opposition to that policy, which he denounced as unconstitutional and un- American, and declared his conviction that only evil to our own people could follow the adherence thereto and the con- summation thereof. Among his addresses on the subject those of Detember 14, 1900, at the Uni- versity of Michigan before 3000 students and at the Columbia Club, New York, on January 2 last, were masterful exposi- tions of the correctness of his position and are still fresh in the minds of the publie. Benjamin Harrison stood for a type of American citizenship not often seen iIn these later days. Retiring at the end of his four years’ service from the highest position that any man on earth Is called | upon to occupy, he returned to the modest home where he had spent the greater part of his life and resumed his duties as a plain and unpretentious citizen. Yet with his name and talents he could have com- manded professional employment with any one of several metropolitan corpora- | tlons bidding for the use of his name at any salary he might shoose to fix. Though taking the largest interest In the pelicy and acts of the Government of which he had been the head, he meddled in noth- ING LIFE OF THE TWENTY-THIRD PRESIDENT General Harris Hospi HEN the flags of the wave ‘at half-mast to-da. in memoriam Benjamin Ha son, San Frar ans will think thems of the days in April and May, 1861, when all San Francisco donned gala attire, when ther were excursions by day, banquets by night and continued rejoicing in honor of the presence of the same man, then Pres- ident, to whom the tribute of sorrow is paid to-d: Harrison's vis particular inter: cursion of President McKinley. Harrison came here the c nearly the size it is to-day, but in point of enthusfasm it can hardiy have in- creased. A mighty serfes of entertain- ments were prepa: of decorators and their uttermost, but when Harrison ar rived he impresed the people as bei ve, not to say cold, ations which had be made for his reception. The President train pulled into Oakland on the evening of Saturday, April and a passenger who made the cross the ferry with the visitors gave at the time the follow- ing pen picture of the President's way of carrying himself in public: “As the boat drew ciear of the slip an turned her head to the cool night wi which swept in from the ocean he d his hat closer down about his e t to the coast gathers a a turned up the collar of his heavy coat and sought refuge behind the pilot- house.” He spoke hardiy at all on the com- eager explanations of the recept mittee. As the boat neared the city dark- ness fell, and two rockets shot up from the hurricane deck of the steamer. At the same moment the guns from the Charleston thundered out a salute, and a red glare was cast against the sky from the brilliantiy illuminated Bonfires blazed on every elevati high above them ail, on the Telegraph Hill, hundreds of rockets roman candles added to the splendor of the- scene.

He took a most active part in the campaign which followed and was offered a seat in the Cabinet by President Gar- fiel ch, however, he declined, pre- ferring the United States Senatorship from Indiana, to which he had just been chosen and which he held from 1881 to 1887 (the full term). While a member of that body he spoke frequently and was well known as an advocate 8f protective duties on imports, of civil service reform and of the restoration of the American and also as an opponent of Presl- Cleveland’s vetces of the pension In 387 He was again a delegate at large to the Republican National Convention in 1884and his name was mentioned in connection with the Presidency, as indeed it had been at the previous convention. At the next dress for the hanging of members of the Mafia at New Orleans was met by Presi- dent Harrison in a courteous but firm re- ply to the effect that the United States could not recognize any responsibility in the matter unless it w shown that the public authorities at New Orleans con- | nivea at the execution, and that the United States did not undertake to insure the Ifves of alien residents any more than of its own citizens. Though the matter ended at the time by the withdrawal from Washington of the ITtalian Minister on an indefinite leave of absence, the position taken by Presi- dent Harrison was maintained, and: be- came a precedent for future dealing with such cases. an advocate of the upbuilding and restor- ation of our navy, so as President he used his best endeavors to that end and pushed forward the construction of armored ves- sels with high-power guns, which result- ed in placing In the water the “White Squadron,” the nucleus of our presént splendid navy. The new vessels included the Chicago, Baltimore, Charleston, Phila- delphia, 8an Francisco, Yorktown, New- ark, Bennington, Concord, Machias, the fine cruiser New York and the battleships Texas and the ill-fated Maine. . Under President Harrison treatles of re- ciprocity were made not only with the countries of South and Central America, but the leading countries of Europe, re- sulting in @ much freer admission of our goods and products, and a wider exten- sion of our markets.

It was singularly free from any crying seandal such as had characterized some previous administrations. In 1592 President Harrison was a can- didate for re-election, being opposed by his former antagonist, ex-President Cleveland, but owing to the unpopu- larity of what was known as the ‘Mec- Kinley bill,” the protective tariff meas- ure passed by Congress and approved by himself in 1890, he was defeated. At the expiration of his term in March, 1893, he left Washington and returned to In- dianapolis, and thereafter resumed the practice of his profession. In the epring of 1891 President Harri- son made an extended trip through the South and Southwest and to the Pacific Coast, stopping at the various towns cities en route and making in all speeches on qusflom'ot interest to the A Month’s Test Free.

After forty years of sweet companion- ship President Harrison lost his wife, who died at the White House October 22, 1892. When nearly four years a widower, on April 6, 1505, he was married in New York City to Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dim- mick, a relative of his former wife, who had often visited them at .the White House. This lady, with a daughter born February 21, 1807, survives him, as do also a son and daughter by his first wife, Russell Harrison, late major United States volunteers, and Mrs. Mary Harrl- son McKee, wife of his former secretary, Robert J. McKee. | Mr. Harrison was from early life a con- sistent Christian and a member of the Presbyterian church, in whose councils for many years he took a prominent part as a member of the General Assembly. He took a most lively interest In the ad- ministration of affairs of his native city, and never fafled to go early to the polls and cast his vote for the man of his choice, In the latter part of 1895 and the first half of 1866 Mr. Harrison's name was widely mentioned fér the Republican nomination for the Presidency and he was urged to make the race. The delegation from his own State went to the national convention at St. Louls under instruc- tions to vote solidly for him, while those from Tilinois, Ohio and other States were largely divided in his favor. He, however, declined to have his name go before the convention. On the nomination of Mr. McKinley he threw his full force into the fight for the success of the ticket, not only stumping Indiana from the Ohio to Lake Michigan but making strong ad- dresses in New York City and other strongholds of the Democracy. Durlng the following year Mr. Harrison published a work entitled “This Country of Our: which made most evident the soundness and depth of his mind, his ability as a writer and his qualities as a far-seelng statesman. In the same year he made his celebrated ‘“Plea for a Better Judiclary" and dellvered other lectures, among which were “The American Unlon,” ‘Federa- tion” and “‘State Institutlons,” all of which attracted much attention and were most favorably commented upon by the press all over the United States. Resumes Legal Profession. On resuming the practice of his profes- sion he soon had a large and profitable clientele, and his services were in demand in some of the most important cases in the country. In October, 1808, he was retained by the Venezuelan Government as its chief counsel before the Court of Arbitration in the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary dispute. from the press and the peopie of the en- | | | | REPORTED MASSACRE Story Relating to the Killing of Six Hundred Macedonians Is Said to Bs Untrue.
