SPOKANE, March 17.—The American colors flying at half-mast from the High School tower in memory of the late Ben- JaminHarrison were torn down to-day and green buniing was substituted by some | unknown St. Patrick's day enthusiast. | The substitulon was discovered early in | the day and rectified.

The attention of School Superintendent Saylor was called to the substituion about 10 a. m. With the janitor he pro- | ceeded to the school. They encountered difficulties In getting into the tower. The St. Patrick’'s day enthuslasts had taken | off the tower door and braced It above | the hatchway leading to the attic, so that | { one side of the door was directly over the | trap and the other resting against the wall, its resistance proving quite effectual | for a time.

Scene at the Church. It was 2:30 o'clock when the procession arrived at the church, and for one hour and twenty minutes before that time the edifice had been packed to its utmost ca- pacity. Directly after the morning re- lgious services in the church the ushers who were to iake charge of the crowd during the funeral service of the after- noon went into the church to compiete their final arrangements. Long ribbons o! silk, white upon one side, black on the re: verse, were stretched around twenty pews in thée body of the church and fifteen on each side, making a total reservation of | fifty pews for the family, pallbearers and visitors. While the ushers were still at work the people holding cards of admis- sion to the church commenced to arrive. The honorary and actua: pall-bearers came slowly up the north center alsle, | filing into the seats at the side. The ush- ers, forming in column near the door. came up the south aisle acting as an cort to the President, who was accom- panied by Mrs. Durbin. As the President reached the pew set apart for him the ushers turned and faced him. He bowed his thanks for the honor and then, usher- ing Mrs, Durbin into the pew, followed after. Governor Durbin and 'Secretarv Cortelyou filled the pew. Immediately in front of the ‘casket and behind the pall- bearers came Rev. M. L. Haines and Rev. | | the short committal and burial service, and Rev. Mr. Haines prayer. . White Flowers on Coffin. Instead of following the usual practice, which consists of dropping a few grains of dust on the coffin, three white carna- tions were placed upon the lid. When the last word had been said and the service was over the attendants lowered the cof- fin to its place. To the last it bore the wreath from Mrs. Harrison and the bou- quet of lilles of the valley from little Elizabeth. On the coffin was placed a heavy walnut protecting cover, and then the granite roof of the tomb was lowered and closed. The last resting place of ex-President Harrison is a tomb five feet deep, encased in granite four inches thick and covered with a granite top of the same thickness. On the reverse side of the cover is the simple inscription, “Benjamin Harrison, 1833-1901."" The interior of the tomb was decorzted with ferns so profusely that no sign of earth or stone was visible. Dozens of ex- quisitely beautiful floral tributes were placed on the tomb and on the ground close by. There seemed to be a hesitation on the part of the snectators to leave when the services were over. After the mourning party had left and was belnf placed in the carriages the thousands of spectators stood and looked long at the grave. followed with a | WASHINGTON, March 17.—Responses have now been recelved from practically all of the South and Central American re- publics accepting the invitation to partic- ipate in the conference of American repub- lics, which is to be held in the City of Mexico next October. The preliminary work of the congress has been directed from Washington, as the United States | Government has taken great Interest in the meeting and has had the co-operation here of the representatives of the south- ern countries. Several of the republics already efther Lave chosen their delegates or have names under consideration. The Guatemalan Minister in Washing- ton, Senor Lazo Arriaga, has been desig- but he has not yet determined whether he will accept the mission. It is understood that the Brazillan delegates have been | chosen, and that the names of those who | will represent Chile are selected, condi- | tional upon the extent of participation which Chile will have in the congress. The | personnel of the delegates from the United States is beginning to attract attention, and fn South American circles there is an earnest desire that at least one of the delegates from this country shall sustain some official reiation to the State Depart- ment.

Her lips trembled and it was evident that she kept her emotion under control by the atest effort. Near her on the left stood the general's son, Russell B.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17.—President McKinley arrived in Indianapolis over the Pennsylvania road at 6:30 o'clock. His private car was set off from the regular train east of the Union station, where it remained until 8:30, when it was moved down to the station. Here a committee of prominent citizens met him to extend the greetings of the city and to escort him to Governor Durbin’s house. This committee included Congressman Over- street, Mayor Taggart and Lieutenant Governor Gilbert. From the station the President went direct to the house of Goy- ernor Durbin, whose fuent he remained during his stay. Shortly after his arrival at the house he was compelled to hold an informal recepiion, the number of callers being large. At 10 o'clock E. F. Tibbett, who was General Harrison's private secretary, ar- rived with a message from Mrs. Harrison, and President McKinley at once decided to visit her. He remained in the house about fifteen minutes, conversing for the greater ‘gart of the time with Mrs. Har- i e then went for a short drive returning to Governor uncheon. Almost imme- diately after this the Presidential party returned to the Harrison home for the funeral services. After the return from the cemetery, which was at nearly 6 o’clock, the Presi- dent went to Governor Durbin’s for a short stay and dinner, and then to the de- pot. His car wss attached to the rvegular train leaving ar 7:10 over the Pennsylva- nia raflroad. The President was escorted to the Union station by Governor Durbin and Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge. His car will be dropped from the train at Canton. He will leave for Washington after a day’s stay at his home. Honoring tg: Dead. A salute of thirteen guns was fired at revellle yesterday morning at the Presidio in honor of the memory of ex-President Harrison. The same number of guns was fired at retreat. and during the intevim two guns were fired every half-hour, for London ice dealers get much of their stock from ships which bring it from the mountain lakes of Norway. Little attention has yet been given to the consideration of 'particular names, yet among those Informally mentioned are Assistant Secretary of State Hill, Di- rector Rockhill of the Bureau of American Republics and John Barrett Moore, who istant Secretary of State during Day’'s administration of the State partment. Mr, Moore's name has come up in connection with the researches he has made on the subject of arbitration, which promises to.be one of the most in- teresting them fore the congress. The South erican republics have shown a strong Inclination toward arbitration in the settlement of their frequent boundary difficulties, and there s a tendency to adopt this method quite generally, and if possible universally, to avoid border con- flicts and their menace of war. Some of those interested in the congress have hoped to see it bring results similar to The Hague congress, with a permanent court of arbitration for the western re- publics like that at The Hague for inter- national conflicts, in which the countries of Europe and the United States might be involved. None of the southern republics was represented at The Hague conference. The sentiment for arbitration was strong in the last South American con- gress, and in the recent congress at Mad- rid it again took form. At the same time it has been understood that Chile might not desire to participate if the subject was to be discussed in such form as to involve_the pending controversy between Chile, Peru and Bolivia. In signifying her purpose to accept the Chilean author- itles sald in substance that it would be conditional upon the discussion of no top- ics which would involve pending questions in which that country was concerned. From this it has been Inferred that the rticular question desired to be elim- I inated is that now in sharp dispute be- tween Chile and Peru. On the other hand, Peru looks forward quite confidently to the congress us a means of presenting {her view of this long pending conflict. But in any event it is not expected that a subject of the magnitude of arbitration can be entirely eliminated from a con- gress of this character. Besides this topic it Is expected that the congress will deal with commercial affairs of interest to this country and the other republics, developing means for thorough co-operation and mutual expansion of trade. To some extent also the gathering will have a broad political aspect, indi- | cating the fraternity which exists among the republics of the western hemisphere. $10 made-to-order suits.
