Mr. Hiscock was accompanied Hy Mrs. Hiscock. Their stay was trief, as Mrs. Hiscock discovered, soon after her arrival at tho Harrison apartments, that Ahe had lost the diamond setting from one of her rings, and after a fruitless search for it, in which several porters were kept busy, she and her husband retired to their own quarters to look for it there. ' . . It is believed in political circles to-night that the possibility of Mr. Piatt's appointment is made stronger by tho announcement that Senators Davis and fcsabin. of Minnesota, will call on the President-elect to-morrow morning to protest against the appointment of Mr. Windom to bo Secretary of the Treasury. The charges against Mr. Windom on which their protest is based come from Henry Castle, who was chairman of the Stato central committee of Minnesota. They je -late to the organization of tho Northern pacific companv. . . , W. II. H.'Mifler, General narnsonjs law partner, is at the Kiggs House, and ho has arranged to stay there for several months.

PITTSBURG TO WASHINGTON.

The Tremendous Crush of People at Harrisburg Enthusiastic Reception at Baltimore. Ai.TOOXA, Pa., Feb. 26. From Pittsburg to Altoona, the first division on tne Pennsylvania road proper, the run of the presidential train was wado without incident, have that thirty minutes of tho lost time was made up Snperinicndent Pitcairn, of this division of the road, was well represented. The officer of the train on entfno No. &4, which hauled the cars up the western slope of the Alle?henies was Alex. Pitcairn. tho conductor was John Pitcairn, while the superintendent's personal representative was Ed Pitcairn. On this division another precaution was taken to provide against delay or accident. An extra engine followtd the official train, in order to be on hand should No. 84 become disabled. There was no demonstration of any kind at Pittsburg, the only persons in the train-shed being railroad employes and a few belated or early passengers who chanced to be on or about the station. At Jeannette, the young Windsor of western Pennsylvania, it had been expected by tho enterprising manager that an exhibition of the gas well would be made, but no stop could b. permitted, 'Seven months ago there was not a house on the site of what is now a bustling, thriving little city. The faint grey streaks of dawn met the eyes of the early risers on tho train as they dashed over the summit at the beautiful park of Cresson, and then there was an awakening by a majority of those on board in order to witness tho beautiesof the famous horseehoe bend, between there and Altoona, which were greatly enjoyed, especially by those who for the first time gazed upon them. At Pittsburg a telegm was received from the committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature, appointed to ask the President-elect to visit the hall of tho House of Representatives while in Harrisburg, in order that the members of the GeneralAssembly might nay their respects to the coming head of the Republic. All the way up and down the mountain side into Altoona then was a race between the two sections of the train, in which, as stated, the second or official section recorded a gain of thirty minutes of the time lost west of Pittsburg. It was a glorious run, and in the bracing air of the high altitude, it was thoroughly enjoyed by those who were awake. A change of engines and crews for the middle division was made just before Altoona was reached, in order to -save time at the station. Superintendent McClellan came aboard with conductor Long, while engine No. 1103, with engineer Jones in charge, was at the front. The train ran slowly through the yards, not at any time stopping. It left here at (5:55 a. m. Great Crush at Uarrlsburg. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 20. The time gained in the run to Altoona yards was uartially lost by tho delay occasioned in remedying a misfit of the couplers joining the first two cars of the train, and the presidential section of No. 20 pulled slowly through and out of the station at Altoona at 7.15, thirty-five minutes behind schedule time. "Just enough to make a nice run," remarked conductor Long; "we'll get there if the first section will keep out of our way." But that had been the trouble all the way from Indianapolis. The first section would maintain its exasperating habit of blocking tho road, but a change was promised here, and the lively rate of speed at which the run over the division was begun indicated that the promise would be kept. No stop was mado at Altoona, whero the railroad shop hands were out in force along the tracks, and several hundred citizens were gathered at tho station to wavo their greetings. Fortunately no whistles were blown, for had all the power in that direction been manifested it would have been sufficient to wake much pounder sleepers than those aboard the car of tho President-elect. Rusfcell Harrison, tho last of the General's party to retire, was tho first to make his appearance just after leaving Altoona. He said, Avhen informed of tho request of tho Pennsylvania Legislature, that the schedule arranged for the train would not permit of an- such stop at Uarrisdmrg as the resolution contemplated. At liellwood, seven niiles east of Altoona, a company of men with a largo Hag stood alongside tho track, and at Tyrone Junction, where a branch leads oft to the coal mines, the Clearfield region, and at Tyrono forges, there were crowds of people and llags displayed. The hotel at Birmingham was decorated with bunting at all the windows, and where the lawn will be next Bummer stood a gathering of tho employes of the works located there. Huntingdon's streets were lined with men, women and children, and at smaller places and farmhouses along the way tho train was greeted by small knots of interested gazers. "At 0 o'clock the day had fairly begun in car 120, and General Harrison and immediate family sat down to breakfast, whence they viewed the gatherings of people at Mount Union, Lewiston Junction, Milfiin, Newport, Duncanton and Maryville as they sped along toward Harrisburg. Mho party in the press car took breakfast as the train ran its way along tho banks of the bluo Juniata. the beautiful scenery adding much to the delights of the meal, lhe table was adorned by a handsome bouquet of roses, which came with the compliments of Mrs. iiarnson. superintendent Jicuieiian's promise that the traiu should reach Har risburg on time was Tedeemedi tho train rolling into tho depot promptly at KhGO, in the presence of a great assemblage of people. There was a creat crush at tho sta tion. Orders had gone out that nobody would be admitted inside tho gates, but this did not prevent thousands pressing agamsi lue iron ienceand packing the wide porcn extending along the front of the station. The crowd surged back and forth. and every available point of vautage was utilized to get a sight of the train and its distinguished occupants. Tho train was held in the yards until tho Atlantic exnress for the Fast had left, and then it rolled hlowly into the station, tho appearance of th? locomotive being the sicnat for a shout that fairly dislodged the. 'glass in tho big Mied. Hardly had the tram come to a ston when the sea of humanity that had ueen held bad: bv the iron fence (suddenly rolled inward ana mica the entire space, so that it was next to impossible, for one to retain the perpendicular. Women were in the midst of the crush, and children, too. but it was a good-natured mob, and nobody was seriously injured. When the train steamed away, overshoes, pieces of veils, p;;rts of fur-trimmed coats and other evidences of the terrible crush strewed the platform. About the first ncrjwt to board tho train were the member

of the committee appointed by the Legislature to extend General Harrison an invitation to visit the General Assembly and afford the statesmen an opportunity to pay their respects. The committee were soon at the front of tho car occupied by President-elect Harrison, and, accompanied by Senators Cooper, McCreary, Packer and the newspaper representatives, were led by Colonel Beau through the rear car to whero tho next President sat. He gave them a cordial greeting, and in response to Colonel liean'fl request that ho visit the Capitol, Baid that no very much regretted his inability to do m, but his train was scheduled and it would be impossible. He sent his thanks to the House for the compliment. The visitors were introduced to Mrs. Harrison and Mr. Kussell Harrison, andsome of the staid legislators chucked the McKee baby under the chin and said it was th'e very image of its grandfather. Meanwhile the crowd outside were clamoring for the next President to make his appearance, and General Harrisan, accompanied by the committee, went to the rear platform and beheld tho vast multitude that had held possession ot the station. It was his intention not to make a speech, but, urged by Colonel Bean, when he succeeded in calming the excitement by a wave of his hand, General Harrison consented, and said: '2ly Friends I want to thank you for this friendly demonstration. The btato of Pennsylvania has an especial interest to me among the htatcs. Hot many miles from here, in oue of your beautiful valleys, near the town of Mercersburg, was my mother's birthplace. I am glad, tiis morning, to receive at the hands of my fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania this cordial greeting. It is very pleasant to know that I shall carry with mo to Washington the good wishes of o many people. Cheers. 1 I thank you again for your friendliness, and will beg you to excuse the atteuip to speak further in the midst of so much contusion. After conclusion of his remarks, three hearty cheers were given for tho distinguished traveler, and then the crowd ressed forward to shake his hand. Tho legislators and others on the cars, supposing the train would stop fifteen minutes, as scheduled, had made no effort to get off until it began to move, but a slow-up at Second street enabled them to jump off and string themselves all along Mulberry, from Front to Third. At Second and Third and Front streets creat crowds greeted the

General, who stood on tho rear platform and raised his hat in response to the cheers. .Mrs. .baton, or unio. a Bister ot uenerai Harrison, who accompanied the party to this point, changed cars here, and at 11:45 leit over the Cumberland valley loniagerstown, where she will visit relatives. Before the train departed Mrs. Harrison was presented with a large floral basket, the gift of eleven enthusiastic young Kepublicans, who are members of the Harrisburg Wheel Club. Governor Beaver returned from Philadelphia too late to see General Harrison. Ho telegraphed his regrets to Baltimore. York. Pa.. Feb. 26. Just as the train was Eulling out of Harrisburg a gentleman anded np to Russell Harrison a beautiful floral basket, made of Marechal Itiel and Lai ranee roses, with sprays of fuchsia and bunchesof carnation pinks and hyacinths. As the train left behind it the venerable city where General Harrison's grandfather was nominated for the presidency, the Gen-, eral. Mrs. Harrison and the members of tho family remained out upon the platform some little time, lhe train was moving slowly when a bright-faced'boy, wearing a knit cap, with tassel, and carrying a small photographer's outfit, ran beside the train and called out to the General that the train would stop shortly, and he wanted to tako his picture. The General nodded his approvai ana watcnea in zeaious iaa wiin interest as he kept pace with the moving train. Opening tne door, the General called Kussell and his wife, and Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Lord to come out with him and Mrs. Harrison and hav their photographs taken. Of course they all complied, while tho nurses held Benjamin and Mary McKee up at the window; Kusscll's baby, Marthena, bemgintheothercarat the time. Jbmally tho train stopped at Bridgeport, just across the river, and the voune amateur hastily ad justed his tripod, and, waiving his hand for them to propare. he uncovered the lens for a moment, and then politely dolled his cap. Tho train moved up a little, and so did the. boy, and coming closer, he secured a second picture. The General inquired his name, and he said it was Hugh Beaver, and one of the boys called out that he was a son of Governor Beaver, whereupon Mr. Kussell Harrison opened the gate and assisted the little fellow up the steps and the General shook his hand and told him to give his regards to his father, the Governor. As the train moved off, Mrs. McKee requested the young artist to send her one of the photoeraphs, and he promised to do so, ''provided' said he, T have secured a good picture." These wero the only photographs of tho General secured since his departure. From Harrisburg to Baltimore the ride was over the Northern Central railroad, and the train pulled out of Pennsylvania's capital city at 11 o'clock, attached to engine No. 17, in control of George Rule. J. C. Hammell was conductor, and Train-master IS. O. Mill had general supervision of the train as the representative of Superintendent Kapp. On the way down to Washington the train ra'n ahead of the new special put on for inauguration business, and therefore had no trouble in keeping strictly up to schedule time. At Newcomberland, Goldsboro, Mount Wolf and York Haven the scenes common to all towns of like size along tho route from Indianapolis were repeated, and the tram passed York on time at 11:28. Enthusiastic Greeting at Baltimore Baltimore, Feb. 26. Twen-five hundred persons were assembled on the platform at York to see the new President go by, and the tracks through the length of the city were fringed from two to five deep with interested spectators. General Harrison stood on the platform as the train passed along, and bowed his acknowledgments of the honor their presence manifested. At the request of the local lodge A. O. U. W., expressed by telegraph. Gen. Harrison appeared on the platform at Smysers, and lifted his hat in response to cheers. Here there was some attempt at decoration, two large flags being suspended over the tracks, A few miles below this point the only stop in the eighty-fivo-miles trip from Harrisburg was made to coal the engine. General Harrison seized this opportunity to visit.the press car and observe for himself how his traveling companions fared. Mrs. McKeo and Mrs. Russell Harrison had preceded him, and spent a half hour in pleasant conversation with tho party. The General passed on thence to tho combination car. where the train men were presented to the distinguished traveler, who warmly shook their hands. He has thought it Dcst not to pass from his car while the train was in motion, and the demands on. his time and attention by the people at the various stopping places delayed his call upon tho reporters to a later hour than he had intended. During the morning, baby Mary McKeo received from some enthusiastic admirer a silk handkerchief in tho form of an American flag with forty-two stars in tho tield, which was examined with much interest by all who saw it. No further incident of note marked tho progress to Baltimore save that the sun, which had been hidden by heavy grey clouds, which had threatened snow sinco morning, came out brightly. In a few minutes, however, the sun retired and the dull leaden hue was unrelieved. There were the customary groups at the stations and country homes waving flags and kerchiefs to tho swiftly moving train as it passed them. Union station received the train at 1:15 r. m., after a pleasant, speedy ride of two hours and three-quarters. A tremendous crowd was assembled at the depot and thousands were on the bridges overlooking the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. There was a stoppage of but a few minutes for tho purposo of reversing the train, and the presidential party started on tho last stage sf its journey amid a storm of cheering. "When the train rolled into the depot. President-elect and Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee appeared on the platform of their car and the ten minutes' wait was consumed in shaking hands with the hundreds of ladies and gentlemen who clambered up tho steps and hung on to the railings topet a close view of the presidential part. Their reception was quite enthusiastic. General Harrison looked as if he had had a tedious journey, and was evidently very tired. The Kud of the Journey. Washington, Feb. 20. While tho cars were being shunted at Baltimore, preparatory to entering upon tho last stage of General Harrison's trip to the national capital, the employes of the railroads about the yards and station in the city, to the number of several hundred, surrounded the car containing tho President-elect, who, with

Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Lord, appeared on the

platform. Cheers were freely given and relatively more enthusiasm manifested than at any other point on tho way. None were admitted within the gates save employes, and hundreds of others were fain content to take their view of tho next President at a distance. There was one exception Mrs. John L. Findlay, whose husband is a cousin of the President-elect. Owing to the smiting about of tho cars she was unable to era in access to General Harrison, greatly to her disappointment. Shft came to present the congratulations and regards or her hnsband, who is confined to his homo by illness. The platform on which the General and the ladies stood was crowded 03 eager would be hand-6hakers until "thb train started for Washington, via the Baltimore &, Potomac railroad, at 1:29. Pennsylvania railroad engine No. 103, engineer Rowe, was in advance. Train-master Bell was in general charge of the train, and H. J. Myers was the conductor. Whether because of their propinquity to the permanent locale of Presidents and a consequent lack of curiosity concerning them, the train commanded less attention there than on any other part of the route. Tho occupants of the train turned their attention to lunch and thcn to reparations for debarking. Engineer iowe pulled the throttle valve wide open, and at 2:30 the train drew up on the track alongside the freight-house, on Ninth street and Maryland avenue, at which point the executive committee of the inaugural committee was waiting with carriages for tho travelers. The train was run to this point in order to escape the crowd that had fathered at the Sixth-street station, and he ruse was successful, albeit several hundred shrewd curiosity hunters were drawn to this spot by the appearance of the carriages. With as little delay as might be. General Harrison and party were seated, then driven rapidly to the Arlington Hotel, where they at once sought the privacy of their apartments. Others on the train were sent to their several destinations in tho city after good-byes had been said, and the trip of President-elect Harrison to the capital was at an end. It had been accomplished in twenty-three hours and eighteen minutes, without a einglo mishap, and with great comfort. The big van, piled high with trunks belonging to the Harrison party, did not arrive at the Arlington Hotel sooner than the first visitors to see General Harrison. Private Secretary Halford received all callers, and, except in a few instances, no one was permitted to 6eo the President-elect. It was announced . that General Harrison would see no person, except a few intimato personal friends, until 7:o0 P. M., at which time he would give a reception of an hour and a half to callers. Sergeant Dinsmore, who was for a long time door-keeper at the White House, guards the street-entrance to the Johnson annex, in which the party are quartered, and sends cards to Secretary Halford. A large quantity of mail was at the hotel awaiting the arrival of the party, andMr. Halford and his stenographer were devoting whatever time they could get to its examination. CoL Elliott F. Shepard sent flowers to Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Kussell Harrison and Mrs. McKee, and Senators Hiscock and Cullom and Representatives Belden, of New York, and Adams, of Illinois, also sent floral tributes to Mrs. Harrison. A handsome basket of orchids, pinks and lilies of tho valley adorns Mrs. Harrison's dressingtable, the gift of Mrs. Kcessel, wife of the proprietor of tho hotel. Extra Session of the Senate.

Mrs. Cleveland has been busily engaged during the last fortnight in packing away tho accumulation of articles of personal value that, through presents and purchases have gradually increased during the three years of her presence in the White Houso to rather imposing proportions. By tho end of tho week all of President Cleveland's belongings, togother with those of Mrs. Cleveland, will be out of the way, eo that when President Harrison and his family arrive they wfll not find all tho choice places for their trunks and boxe s already occupied. A President's moving day ought to bo easier than that of other people. beeauso there is no furniture, or at least very little, to handle. There are two or three chairs which have been presented to President Cleveland, and these, of course, will havo to go with him, but aside from theso somo books, bric-a-brac, pictures and tho wearing apparel are about all that must bo taken away. Nevertheless, the work appears to be heavy. Wearing apparel is moro quicklv packed and will be left until tho last. Tho steward is now busy with the President's books and privato papers, and has not vet dismantled any of trie apartmeuts of tne noue. Although the President's goods and chattels will have disappeared from tho White Houso by Sunday night, tho President and Mrs. Cleveland will not bid farewell to their home until later. It has been tho usual custom for the outgoing President to give to his successor a lunch at tho White House on tho afternoon of inaugurationdav, and then to take his leave. That custom will bo followed on this occasion. After the ceremonies at tne Capitol, and tho review of the . process.on. Mr. Cleveland and the members of his Cabinet. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Morton, with probably a few of their most intimato friends, will lunch at the Whito House, and then Sir. Cleveland will say good-bye to his successor. t BAM, TOILETS.

Major Saunderson (Conservative) then resumed the debate on the address in reply to the Queen's speech.. Referring to Mr. Morley's remarks in the House, last night, he charged that gentleman with ignoring the fact that crime in Ireland has lessened sinco the enforcement of Vie crimes act. Tho number of agrarian offenses was less now than it had ever been 6ince the agitation began. The Parnellites complained that they could freely mako speeches in England for which in Ireland they would be imprisoned quite so. Men might smoke a cigar in many places without offense, but to light it down in a mine would be criminal, as tho act would endanger the lives of others. Cheers.1 Tho freedom of speech which the Parnellites wanted was not allowed, because they advocated lawbreaking, which led to murder. Parliament had sometimes acceded to the claims of the Parnellites, but the House had seen the unwisdom of it. A cry was now got up to attract the people. Parnellite shouts of "Piggott," "PiKcott."l Well, Piggott had amoty qualified himself to be a member of the first home-rule ministry. That cry might for a moment be substituted for another "O'Brien's clothes." Langhter.l The Irish members ought not to make such asses of themselves, bringing down everlasting ridicule upon their country. Ho could not find a reason why Parnellites should not be sent to jail, nor why, when once there, they should ever be let out. Laughter. Mr. Dillon thought Major Saunderson's performance less amusing than usual. His remarks were mere interludes in opera boutfe stale jokes unworthv the attention of tho House. The question of Ireland could not be set aside by jests. He emphatically repudiated as a calumny any suggestion that he or his colleagues worked for tho increase of crime. The decrease of crime was not due to the coercion act, but to enormous concessions got for tenants through the plan of campaign. It was also duo to tho knowledge of the increased sympathy of the Englisn people. The declarations of Mr. Gladstone and his followers had xuore effect in stopping crime than all the coercion acts ever passed. Cheers. Regarding the question of prison garb, they objected to wearing the livery ot crime and associating with forgers and thieves. Possibly, Judging from the recent events, certain members of the opposition did not entertain the same objections. He proceeded to criticiseMr. Balfour's statements regarding tho treatment of prisoners, contending that there were manifest contradictions in the statements, making tho wholo unworthy of credence. Sir G. O. Trevelvan charged Mr. Balfour with causing Parnellites to be arrested in a place and manner calculated to inllict the greatest possible outrage upon public feeling and opinion. The government, he declared, was responsible for the melancholy incidents that attended the arrest of Father McFadden, and it was especially blamable for risking a repetition of such incidents by the arrest of Father Stephens. Tho speaker also attacked Mr. Balfour on tho subject of the treatment of political prisoners. In the course of a speech in defense of the government, Mr. Edward Stanhope, who is a member of the Cabinet, asserted that wherever the plan of campaign existed tho amount of crime was greatest. "There is not a word of truth in that," exclaimed Mr. Dillon. Cries of "Oh! Oh!" greeted Mr. Dillon's remark, and Mr. Stanhope appealed to the Speaker, whereupon Mr. Dillon challenged him to prove his statement. In reply, Mr. Stanhope adduced statistics showing an improvement in the condition of Ireland, which, lie claimed, was duo to the government's policy. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Bismarck Shows How Easily and EffectoaUy He Disposes of His Enemies. Berlin, Feb. 26. Notwithstanding yesterday evening's dinner of conciliation, at which Prince Bismarck, under the eye of Emperor William, hobnobbled with Count von Waldersee, a credible report makes the truce between them of short duration. Tho restoration of the health of the Chancellor has caused the rumors of his retirement to cease. His new courtesies toward Count von Waldersee do not alter the fact that he is jealous of the Count's influence over the Emperor. Tho Count enjoys the closest intimacy with and the highest personal confidence of Emperor William, lie is often seen walkincr with the Emoeror. and is constantly consulted, both on mili tary questions, as chief of stall of tho army, and on personal a Hairs, as a friend. The Chancellor has the unabated p litical confidence of the Emperor, and no differences of opinion have risen between them threatening a breach: but, neverthe less, the Bismarck circle, reflecting the feeling of their chief, feel that Count von Waldersee stands between the Chancellor and the Emperor. It was not with out trouble that Emperor William obtained the present accord between tho chiefs of the diplomatic and army services, and its solidity is in fact donbtfuL Among its immediate results will be tho sacrifice of Hofficdiger fetcecker to the Chancellor's enmity. Hi 8 dismissal from his court charge is certain to follow an unfavorable sentence by the Prussian Oberkirchenrath because of his want of trutn in tho case of pastor Witte. His successor is already named in pastor Dryander, who has recently been acting as seelensorger, or spiritual guide to the Empress. In the Synod of the Berlin district Dr. Dryander declared in favor of tho complete absorption of the social Christian movement, with which Stcecker is identified, into the normal activities of the church. Tho retirement of Dr. Stcecker is a minor but memorable instance of how Prince Bismarck contrives to make an enemy disappear. Marriage of the Emperor of China. SnANGHAi, Feb. 26. The marriage ceremony of the Emperor of China was a most gorgeous, tnougn an exclusive, affair. The foreign diplomates requested the privilego of paying their respects to his Majesty, but tho tenders were politely declined. They were entertained at a banquet by the ministers, however, and received valuable presents in honor of the occasion. The splendor surrounding the ceremony and tho vast sumexpended in carrying out the programme is in marked contrast to the fact that millions of people are starving in the provinces. Foreign Notes.

Baron Hirsch has donated 120,000 francs J early to Austria and a similar amount to lungary. for the relief of tradesmen in danger of financial ruin.

Luko Emerson, the Missouri horse-dealer who emptied his revolver into a London crowd, a short time ago, and hit two men. was again arraigned yesterday afternoon and further remanded. It is alleged that a reciprocal agreement with several of the powers has been approved by the Bundcsrath to facilitate the transportation of corpses over tho German frontier.
