v HARRISON'S JUURNM. ^7 i How the President-elect Started for the National CapitalDetails of the Trip From Indianapolis to Washington* President-elect Harrison left Indianapolis for Washington on Monday afternoon. There was a busy Kte* at the Harrison bouse all the morning. Neighbors and personal fl lei Ills ?> Nimln* ? ml ffAlnif KM *K? OiuwlV family goodby. The servants were busily etigsged in packing up, and all the newspaper correspondents in town were scattered about the houae watching developments. The only visitors from out ot town were a delegation from the Commercial Travelers' Republican Club, of Chicago, who, through their l'resideut, T. 8. Cuincy, presented the General a very gorgeous and elaborate traveling lag. At the request of the President-elect nothing but an informal and modest demonstration was given him upon his departure. His comrades ot George H. Thomas Post. (>. A K., marched up to his residence shortly after 1 o'clock and escorted the carriages containing him, Mayor Denny, Governor Hovey and Beers tary Hal ford to tbo railroad station; the members of his family going in tbsir private carriage by another way. In spite of the bitter cold thero were largo crowds on the street, and General Harris* n was kept busy in acknowledging their greetings. There was a large crowd at the station, but the ceremonies there were very b isf. Governor Hovey made a brief address. The party traveled in President Roberts's private car. It consisted of General and Mrs. Harrison, Russell Harrison, his wife and father and mother in-law; ex-Senator and Mr*. Saunders, Mr. and Mrs. McKee, their children and nursos; Secretary Halford. W. H. H. Miller, Chairman Huston, of '2ie Republican State Committee, and Mrs. lx>rd. Mrs. Harrison's sister. Another private car contained all tho newspaper representatives. The train to convey tho Presidential party is a beauty. It lay ait morniug 011 a siding and at 2 p.'ii. was drawn up in the main track. When General Harrison stepped on to the rear end of the train just on the eve of its departure, the crowd applauded and cheered and waved handkerchiefs long and well. - When quiet had been restored General Harrison stepped close to the brake on tho rear platform of tho car and made an address that took about two minutes in delivery. He removed his hat, adjusted his eye-glasses and road the following address from a manuscript. "My Good Friends and Neighbors; leannot trust myself to put in words what I feel at this time. Every kind thought that is in your minds and every good wish that is in your heart for me finds its responsive wish and thought in my mind and heart for each of you. I love this city, it has been my own cherished home. Twice before I have left it to dischargo mib>ic duties and I returned to it with gladness, as I hopo to do again. It is a city on whose cheek the pompous displays of wealth are not seen. It is full of pleasant home* and in the homes there is an unusual store of couteutment. " The memory of your faces ami kindness will abide with me. and my strong desire to hold your respect and conliden o will strengthen me in the discharge of my new and responsible duties. Let me say farewell to all my Indiana friends. For the public honors that have come to me I am their grateful debtor. "Ihey liave made the debt so largo that I can never discharge it. Thcro is a great sense of loneliness in the discharge of high public duties. The moment of decision is one of isolation, but there is one whoru help comes even into the quiet chamber of judgment, and to His wisdom and unfailing guidance I will look for direction and se/ety. "My family unite with mo in grateful thanks for this cordial good by, and, with me, wish that these years of separation may be full of peace and happiness for each of you." Just at the close of his brief remarks, Mrs. Harrison, having been found, slipped blithely out of the doorway and made a graceful bow to the throng. General Harrison grasped her hand eagerly nnd his face lighted up with evident satisfaction as she stood by his side. Conductor King leaned over the guard gate, moved his hand to the engineer and the Presidential train moved slowly away as the clock showed 3:13)1. The President-elect and his wife remaiuod on the platform saluting the crowd until the train got a square away. Notices had been sent to the sunervlsors and section foremen of the Pan Handle road to have their track walkers doubly vigilant in their patrols during the passage of the train of tne President-elect on that division. One man was stationed on every mile of track between Pittsburg and Dennison. At Oreenfleld, about ten miles out from Indianapolis, whore an enthusiastic crowd had gatnered, the engineer slowed the train down enough to let General Harrison appear on the platform. The first stop was at Knightstown, whore the Soldiers' Orphans' Home is situated, and here tho Presidentelect made his first speech on tho route. A crowd of five or six hundred persons, In which were many of the children from the Soldiers' Home, cheered for Harrison, and the Qeneral said a few words. At Dunroith, the crotsiug of tho Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville railroad,many telegi nius were received from neighboring towns and citiea At Cambridge City the heavy booming of field pieces was hoard as the cars went flying by. W hen Richmond was reached crowd of over five thousand people were waiting, and General Harrison spoko to them briefly. In Ohio the first stop was made at Greenville, where there was the usual crowd. At Piqua Governor Foraker and wife boarded the train as the party wore sitting down to supper. At Urbnnn another large crowd was waiting, but fromthnt time on it was too dark to soo the people. In places fires of nine knots were lighted, and out of the blacKness rose cheers as the train dashed by on Its way to Columbus and the East. When the train bearing tho President- i elect reached Newark, Ohio, there was a large crowd of people prepared to give General Harrison a rous fng reception. About fifteen locomotives in tho yards of the railroad centering there bocan a series of shrill whistling which made life hideous for the moment. Tho train pasrei' by the dopot without stopping, much to the disappointment of the assembled multitude. The run from Newark to Dennison was without accident, except now and then a report o' a gun or pistol. * After i aving Newark the President-elect's rarty re irjd to their berths for tho uizht. A Speech at Harrisburg. The ran through Ohio, West Virginia and into Pennsylvania, was made at a rapid ratj of spaed; so rapid, indeed, that frequent stops were necessary to allow tho pilot train (Atlantic express) to got oat of divisions approached by the special in accordance with the rales of the Pennsylvania block system, which prohibit two trains running in tho same direction from occupying one division at the same time. There was no demonstration of nnv kind at Pittsburg, the only persons in the train shed being railroad employes and a few belated or early passengers who chanced to be in or about the station. ^From Pittsburg to Altoonu, the first aiTision on tfte rennsylvanla road proper,tlio ran was made without accident. Thirty minutes of the lost time was made up. To provide against delays or accident an extra engine followed the official train in order to be on hand should the other become disabled. The faint gray streaks of dawn met the WW of the early risers on the train as they daafaad over the summit at the beautiful park of Qreason and then there was an awakening by a majority of thoee aboard in order to witness the beauties of the famous horseslioo bend. The Presidential party were still aillip flnassll Harrison, the last of tlie General's party to retire, was the first to make bis upp ear an oe just after leaving Altoona. At nine o'clock the day had fairly beg an in car No. 120, and General Harrison and bis immediate family sat down to breakfast, whence they viewed the gatherings of people as thoy pad along toward Harrishurg. The party in the press car took breakfast us the train ran its way along the bauks of the Bine Juniata, the beautiful scenery adding much to the aelights of the meal. Th-j table was adorned with a handsome bouquet of rceea, which came with the compliments of Mia. Harrison. Superintendent SlcClellan's promise that the train should reach Harrishurg en time was red earned, the cars rolling into the depot promptly at 10:30, in tho prsasnim of a great assemblage of people, who kept outside the gates. M I I II .J" ~ " ' t ' ""H'l ufeili vMM k> a stop when j u? M of humanity that bad been bold back by Km Iron fence suddenly rolled inward and Ittled the entire space. The first persons to board the train were the member* ct the committee appointed by the Ingielatare to extend to Qeoeral Harrison an invitation to visit tbe General Assembly and afford the statesmen an opportunity to pay their rer ta He sent his thanks to tbe House for ' compliment. , It was his Intention not to make a speech, but urged by Coiooel Bean, who succeeded in calming tbe excitement by a wave of bis hand. General Harrison consented, and said: My friends: I want to thank yon for this friendly demonettatioa. Tbe State of Pennsylvania has an especial interest to me among toe States Hot many mike from here, in asm of your beautiful valleys, near tbe town of Mercerherg. was my mother's birthplace. I am glad this morning to receive at tbe hands of my fellow citizens of Pennsylvania this i cordial' greeting. It is very pleasant to 1 know that 1 shall carry with me to Washington the good wishes of so many people. (Cheers.) I thank you again for your friend* lineas and will beg you to excuse tbo attempt to speak further m tbe midst of so much confusion." After tbo conclusion of bis remarks three hearty cheers were given for the distinguished travolcr, and then the crowd pressed forward to shake his hand. The train pulled out immediately. Geueral Harrison played with the children nearly all tbo way between Harrisburg and Baltimore. Tbero were very few incideutoof interest till the train reached Baltimore, where the people all seemed to have turned out to do honor to their coming President. The station was one mass of people. Tbe fridges spanning the railroad track at Charles, Calvert and St. Paul streets were ( loaded down by an eager, restless throng of tioople, all waiting for a chance to greet the The crowd uumberod almost 10,000 people. 1 Ab the train burst suddenly out of the last tunnel and came into tho station the enthusiasm of tho crowd found relief in qne mighty sliout of welcome, which was repeated again and again. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKeo and the others re-entered the car, but Geueral Harrison remained on the platform, bowing and smiling to the shouting crowds until the train was swhIIowovI up in the tunnels. At Pulton station on tho outskirts of the city and at tho Frederick road station there wero equally enthusiastic crowds. But tho train sped right nlonj until Washington was reached. Tho Arrival in Washington. President-elect Harrison orrivod in Washington in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and disappointed a large crowd assembled at the Sixth streoot Pennsylvania railway station to sco him by alighting nt. Ninth street and Maryland avenue. 'Ibis point is somo threo blocks south of tho station, and is in a very quiet part of tho city, so that the President elect and bis fnmily wero enabled, by taking carriages, to go direct to tho Arlington Hotel without coming in contact with tho multitudo, which filled all of the most prominent thoroughfares. At 2:30 o'clock there wero two or throe hundred people waiting ill tho vicinity of tho hotel in expectation of General Harrison's arrival. At 2:50 o'clock tho crowd cried: "Here they are," and there was a movement to the front, which tho police promptly checked, j The first carriage stopped and the door was . instantly opened by an officer. Chairman liritton emerged first, followed by Mrs. Harrison. Mr. Britton then handed ont baby McKeo, whoso appoaranco caused another murmur 01 greeting General Harrison next stepped out and for a moment the crowd hesitate*!; then a cheer went up. The debarkation of the remainder of tho party was quickly accomplished and i the crowd soon dispersed. The rest of tho party arrived within a few minutes, and were soon settled in tho fine suite of rooms that have been sot. apart for them. No pleasauter location for the Presidential quarters could have been chosen, as tho family lias all tho privacy that they could got in a house of their own. The Buito consists of lour rooms which liavo been thoroughly renovated and refurnished for tho General and Mrs. Harrison. Quarters directly over thoso of General and Mrs. Harrison were reserved for the rest of the Presidential party. Mr. Blaine called on Mr. Harrison daring the afternoon and hat! a half-hour's talk. A note from President Cleveland was brought over by Major Pruden about 4 o'clock. It was a tonder of courtesies from the retiriUgto tho incoming President. General Harrison ordered dinner to be served at (1 o'clock, and then he settled down to take possession of his apartments. ? Guests of tlio President. 1 bo President-elect g ivo an informal reception on tho morning after his arrival in Washington to n host of callers Among them Mere Senators and Representatives and distinguished men from all parts of the Union. General Harrison was solf-possessed and showed no signs of tho fntigue of travol.

Upon enter.lift the building General and Mrs. Harrison left aside thoir wrajw and were immediately ushered into the rod parlor, where, niter a few moments' chat, the party walked across the corridor and entered the private dining loom in the White House. The President took Mrs. Harrison down to dinner, while General Harrison conducted Mrs. Clovoland to the table, Airs. Folsom following alone. There was an utter absence of all formality, and the dinner party seemo.l a chance supper of live old familiar friends. The decorations of tlio dining room wore quite pretty. The router pioce on the table was a circular basket of flowers studded with long stemmed magna chartn roses. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers, and tho chef of the White House did honor to himself an l his master by the dinner that he served. For two hours the President and his guests sat nt table and discussed everything but politics. Just beforo 10 o'clock General and Mrs. Harrison hade their hosts good-bye end drove bark to the Arlington. LATER NEWS.

After a ssamtitng examination oC dzlj, days, the Famell Inquiry In London baa ra* raited in the moat jenaational developments. The Famell Commiasioo, aa it is nailed, waa instituted to examine Into allegations of the London Time* that Mr. Paraell had written letters sympathizing with criminal efforts? murder and the use of dynamite?to farther the cause of IrUh Home Rule. The Tim** Sublished what purported to be letter* of Ir. Paraell favoring criminal action in behalf of Ireland's liberation from English domination. The Irish Home Rule leader asserted that these letters were forgeries and demanded an investigation. A Special Com* mission was appointed to take testimony,and the trial began over two months ago. The most important witness upon whom the 1<mu relied was one Richard Pigott, who had furnished the paper with the alleged Parnell letters.and who swore before the Commission that they were genuine*. Upon cross examination, however, Pigott went to pieces completely when confronted with a letter which be nad written to Archbishop Walsh, offering for pay to prove that the Parnell letters were fraudulent. In further cross-' Examination Pigott involved himself in a complete network of lies, and the case of the Timet seemed knocked all to pieces. To pat a clincher upon the matter Pigott made a confession that the letters were forgeries, and then disappeared. A London dispatch gives these farther particulars: Richard Pigott, the principal Timet witness in the Parnell case, has made a startling confession. He declares the Parnell letters, published by the London Timet, absolute torgeriea The announcement of this sensational development was made at the morning session of the Parnell Commission. Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Parnell, arose shortly after the opening of the court nnd stated that on Saturday last at the houso of Henry Labouchere, editor of London Truth, Pigott signed a confession. This confession stated in so many words that the alleged Parnell letters printed by the Times, and on which the Times based its charges against the Irish members, were forgeries. Mr. George Augustus Sala wes also present when the confession was made. Pigott hod, without invitation, called on Mr. Labouchere and offered to confess. Mr. Labouchere declined to listen without witnesses, whereupon Mr. Sala was summoned, and Pigott confessed that he was the forger. He admitted that he forged all the letters ascribed to Messrs. Egan, Parnell, Davitt and O'Kelly. He also admitted that he perjured himself oeioro mo commission. The statement of Sir Charles Russell was corroborated by the witness**. Having made this extraordinary statement to the court, Sir Charles Russell applied for a warrant for the arrest of Pigott. The Presiding Justice said that within an hour a warrant would be roady. Mr. Shannon, a Dublin solicitor, who assisted the Times in constructing its case, was then callod to the witnoss box. Mr. Shannon testified that on Bunday night Pigott came to him and gave him a written state ment denying the statement he had made on Saturday to Mr. Labouohere that he had forged all the letters. The first batch Pigott declared he believed to be genuine. The second batch, including two of the Parnoli letters, was forged by himself and Casey. The third batch, which includes those of Davitt and O'Kelly, were similarly forged. Itgott added, in his statement to Shannon, that ho now having stated the truth and confessed before the world, the Timet should deal leniently with him. Sir Charles Russell, Mr. Parnell's counsel, cross examined Mr. Shannon, who stated in answer to a question that he took no steps to prevent Pigott from escaping, but that he fully expected to see him appear in court. It was very evident to all present that tho Times had met its Waterloo, and that the case was in a state of complete collapse. The following cablegram has been received in Chicago from Michael Davitt by Alexander Sullivan: "Pigott has bolted. It is the general beliof here that the Times and the Government have paid him to clear out." Abandoning the Case. When the l'arnoll Commission resumed its sitting on the morning aftor the above disclosures, Attorney-General Webster announced that Pigott had written to Mr. Shannon from Paris. The letter was read in court. It contained the same confession that Sir Charles Ru?ocil iu?u the previous day. Pigott acknowledged that he forged tho fnc-siinile printed by tho Times and the other It'lf.'J o, iiU uuuiivirU tliaii IIO iauui;(iKu kuv letters which he said he found in a bag, and describes tho process by which he did it He used genuine letters of Parnell's and Egan's. copying closely several words of general character, and tracing the actual writing by holding the letters up against a window and following line for line. The second batch of Parnell's letters lie imitate! from fac-simi e. in conclusion, Pigott says that Mr. Lal>ouchero's account of the interview between Pigott and himself is mainly correct. After Pigott'a letter had been read Attorney-General Webster said: "Nobody will attach any wolght to Pigott's evidence. It is now our duty to oak leave to withdraw from considering tho geuuiuoness of the letters. The publishers of the 77 nte.i desire to express their regret for the publication of them, and will a little later give fuller manifestations of regret over the matter.' Mr. Pornoll took the witness stand and denied the gemiinoness of the letters alleged to have boon signed by himself and addressed to Egan. Ho had dictated to Mr. Campbell a letter regarding bis desire to have au interview with Pigott. This letter was evidently tho one from which Imitations were made. After Mr. Parnell's testimony tho Commission adjourned. The London Times has withdrawn its advertisement of the pamphlets "Parnellism and Crime" and "ODonnell versus Walters." Applicants ror tho pamphlet* are informed that they aro "out of print." Tiie total amount of money outstanding in circulation on February 1, according to Treasury computations, was $1,408,5'.9,092.

A Hew Mineral. I A new mineral has been discovered named Bperryite, in honor of tho man who found it, Francis L. Spcrry, of Sudbury,Ontario, chemist to the Canadian Copper Company of that place. It is essentially an arsenide of platinum and of < great interest, sinco platinum has not een found before as an important constituent of any material except the alloys with othor metals of the platinum group. The mineral was found at the Vermillion J mine, in the district of Algoma, province of Ontario, a place twenty-two miles west of Sudbury and twenty-four miles north of Georgian Bay, on the line of the Algoma branch of the Canadian Pacific 1. ail way. Tho mine was dis overed in October, 1887, and a three-stamp mill was put up for the purpose of stamping gold quartz. Associated with this gold ore are considerable quantities of pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and ' at the contact of ore and rock, and occu- 1 pying small pockets in decom]>osed masses of the oro, there is a quantity of loose material composed of gravel containing particles of copper and iron pyrites. It was in milling this loose | material that several ounces of the nrsen- , ide of platibum were gathered on the , carpet connected with tho stamp mill.? \ J Jetton Advertiser. \ 1 i General McClellnn's Monument.
