President Speaks of the Great Pros- perity of Pennsyivania. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 1.—President Roosevelt's train arrived at 10:10 o’'clock and remained for ten minutes. The run from shington was uneventful, the Presidenit spending most of his time in reading. | The President was greeted in this eity by a greatscrowd, including the members of the Pennsylvania Legislature and city officlals. Senator Foicht, on behalf of the Senate, presented greetings to the Pres- jdent. Senator Foicht expressed regret that they were unable to welcome him at the Capitol, but were giad to welcome him in the shadow of Zion Lutheran Church, where the first Harrison was nominated for the Presidency. The President showed every evidence-of surprise at the reception. He spoke for more than five minutes. He . referred to the prosperity of the State and the coun- try and said it was more due to the indi- vidual skill of labor and capital than to any of his efforts. He said he left Wash. ington with a light heart over the mag- nificent work performed by the anthracite coal strike 'commission. No document, he said, handed down by any association of at he greatly appreciated the cour- | manned by a crew of picked men. The|men could have the power formoyagesod than that handed down by the cunimis- sion. After briefly referring again to the gengral prosperity of the country, the President closed his remarks by again thanking the great crowd. As soon as he finished speaking the signal was given and the train pulled out at 10:19 p. m. A T e RIDES IN THE CAB. Roosevelt Enjoys the Scenery With the Train Engineer.

Two engines were coupled to it ready to pull the heavy cars over the Allegheny Mountains and the President shook hands with the crews of each. He climbed into the cab of the rear engine, No. 2080. In the cab with him were Secretary Loeb, Trainmaster Keiser, Speclal Engineer McLarn; the regular engineer, H. T. McCormick, and Fireman Hunter. As he took his seat the President remarked that, belng a mem- ber of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen he thought he ought to take his turn at feeding the furnace, but he did not do so. When Galitzen, the crest ot the mountain, was reached, the first loco- motive was detachéd from the train and the run’to Seward was made with one engine.
