All that afternoon the president re-mained in the hotel receiving rails from federal officials and promineut citizens. A vast concourse of people had gath-ered in the street in front of the Walker all desirous and all yelling for Urant. To gratify their demands General Grant stepped out on the balcony and was introduced to the people by Gov-ernor Emery. A speech was called for but the man who had been silent when the fato of the union hung on the turn of a oloud or the direction of the wind, who had been silent when armies were at his dictation, even when queens and monarchs laid their laurels at his feet, was silent here. With a refreshing unostenatiousness peculiar to the man. Geucral Grant got In a bugy on Monday morning and was driven to the Temple block, (where the huge granite pile stands but not so high as now), to Camp Douglas and up Emi-gration canyon. At bis personal request uo gua was tired in his honor when be visited the i'ort on the hill. The other members of the party took prao tically the same trip. In the afternoon a publio reception was held at the Walker house, when several hundred people, ladies and gentlomen, were introduced to the president. After the general reception a private one was given to which none were admitted but federal officials. Taking an early lunch the presiden-tial party were driven to the depot where Grant found his private car almost bidden 'beneath wreaths and bouquets of flowers. As the train moved off, cheers and thunderous good byes were said, ' which were acknowl-edged by Grant with a wave of his hat, tho ladies waved their handkerchiefs and kissed their hands to the crowds. It is written In the history of this event, that when Grant behold the hundreds of children all arranged on the sides of the street to meet him, that he asked: "Whose children are these?" When answered by Governor Emery, "Mormon children," Grant said; "I havo been deceived." Th Territorial SUIT.

JlliH. makv m'kkk. Mrs. Mary McKce, the only married daughter of President Benjamin Har-rison, is about twenty-seve- yours of age, and a beautiful young woman. She has made her homo with her parents since her marriage. She has two chil-dren, who are the delight of the family, Benjamin Harrison McKou was two years old when his grandfather was sworn in president, and Maby Lodge McKce, about eight mouths, Mrs. Mc- Kce received her education at Og.mtz, 1'hiladelphia, from which institution she graduated wit h high honors. Her husband, Mr. Y. R. McKce, is a whole-sale boot and shoe dealer in Indianap-olis. .She is a fine musician, excelling a a performer on the piano. Mrs, McKce is a vivacious, interesting woman, and the responsibilities of mar-ried Ufa have not taken from her that charming loveliness that made her so popular as a bello at the national capi-tal. MRS. RISSKU, I). HARRISON. When Mrs. Cleveland left, the white house, Mrs, Russell II. Harrison, the daughter-in-la- of the president, be-came the leader of the younger presi-dential set in Washington, a task for which she is eminently litted.as sho cur- - taiuly is a very graceful young lady. She is the daughter of Senator Saunders of Nebraska, who, under Lincoln, was governor of that slate. After her marriage she spent a great deal of here time in Helena, Montana, where her husband was at tho head of a Mock farm. At the inaugural ball sho was very much admired, nnd tor thn benelit of our lady readers we wiil give the del nils of her toilet on that occasion, which was of while silk, with front entirely covered with white lace embroidered in gold find delicate shades of pink and blue. The corsage was cut bw and sleeveless, and was trimmed with em-broidered luco. Her hair was dressed high, surmounted by a diamond crescent. White gloves covered her anus to the shoulder and she wore white satin slipper.-- In her hand she carried a boqitet composed of roses. in brown plush are separated by our-tain- s and the bookcases from the open car. Sixteen chairs are ranged along-side the great plate windows through which thejparty expects to see a great deal of eho United States during the next thirty days. In the library in this car General Lew Wallace has another copy of "lien llur," while Andrew Car-negie is represented by "An American Fourin-Hau- in Europe." There is an interesting aggregating of available lit-erature ranging from Balzac and George to Uncle Kemus. Electriu fans are also fitted at the ends of the room. But the open air end of the car will be more interesting than its interior. The platform is seven feet long by nine feet wide, rubber floored and fenced hi with brass and bronze. The roof ex-tends to a point even with the platform, so that when it becomes necessary to address an audience iu the rain, the president does not necessarily have to expose himself to the elements. A brass brake wheel affords a convenient grip for the speaker's right hand, leav-ing the left band free for gesticulative purposes. THE ILLUMINATION ON THE TRAIN. All the illumination on thetrain. even to the exterior lamps, will be electric In addition to the electric lights, is an ample supply of oil lamps, to be used should the current give out. GRANT'S VISIT TO HALT LIKE, The Other Oocaelon on Which a Chief Executive Wa tlie City's I. neat. Only once before has Utah and Salt Lake been graced by the presence of a national executive, while ho has been clothed in the mantle and dignities of his office, that was in the early part of October, 1875, when President Grant, whose name is honored and memory revered as one of the greatest generals and grandest statesmen tha world has yet seen, spent a day in this mountain environed and lako gemmed valley. lie partook of the entertainment and hospitalities of all the citizens alike, was shown all of the attractions and places to which so much historical in-terest is attached. The presidential retinue was com- - the rear platform. The Pocatello com-mittee bad secured entrance tothe car and at this moment they appear at the rear where Chairman Savidge ad-dressed tho president as follows: "Mr. Harrison, on behalf of the citi-zens of Pocatello it is my great pleas-ure to extend to you our must loyal aud friendly greeting, aud with one accord we thank you for the interest you have taken hi opening up this reservation, thereby milking it possible fur 'us to build homes tor our families and to be-come a part of this great common-wealth. "Ladies and gentlemen It is my pleasure to now introduce to you our most illustrious visitor and friend, Hen-jamin Harrison, president of the United States." At tho close of Mr. Savidge's re-marks, the president faced the set. of upturned faces and in a clear voice, the tone of which won the hearts of his auditors, be said: THK I'KBSt DENT'S SPEECH. "Fellow citizens In the summer of 1881, when President Garfield lay so long in agony and tho people suffered under that terrible strain of suspense, that sad summer when the nation was so torn with grief, 1 passed up over tho Utah & Northern road on a trip to Mon-tana I then passed through ibis place) which was a mere station. This coun-try is, therefore, not unfamiliar to me. 1 have known of its natural resources and its conditiou, ami have boon famil-iar with the wonderful results that can be achieved under the benilicent im-pulse of irrigation. When it was my privilege to serve as chairman of the senate 'committee on territories, I gav e much attention to the needs of the arid regions and studied their wonderful possibilities. My sympathies have al-ways gone out to those who, leav-ing tlie populous eastern centers with their comforts and conveniences, have pushed out into the west to sub-due new lands, ever pressing onward toward the setting sun and the Pacilic ocean. Pioneers are always enterpris-ing. If they were not ho they would stay at homo. They have endured every sort of privation in their efforts to bring these sago brush lands under cultivation, lo develop the wonderful mines of the west, aud to make these wild lands bloom like a garden. They I am glad to visit-Uta- again and ex-pect to find that great improvements have taken place since I visited the territory in 1881," . .. , Postmaster - General Wannamaker bad gone out to see the Indians and in-dulged in a talk with the white haired chief at their head. Later the chief came up to the car and the president went out and shpok hands with him. "Tell them," he said, "that I am glad they came down. I am glad to see them, and you can tell them that I am glad they felt interested in seeing tho great father." The member of tho committo were summoned to board their cars which had been attached to tho pilot train. They hurridlv got aboard and the run back to Sait Lake was begun at 7:30. A few people were gathered at some of tho small stations, but the trip was without incident. In Bear river canon Superintendent Bancroft had stationed guards, who traversed the track, carrying lanterns to guard against the possibility of accident. At Ogden some of the excursionists from that place left the train aud the run to-ward Zion was continued with but a short stop. The members of the distinguished party all retired early in the evening to get a good rust preparatory to the fa-tigues of The visitors were all aboard the pilot and none were left to interfere with the party. The newspa-per men. who had fought in the crowd at Pocotcllo for a chance to catch the proceedings, were busily at work pre-paring their matter. Governor Thomas, who had met the president at Hunting-ton, was with the territorial delegation narrating the incidents of the run down from Hoise. Superintendent Bancroft was on the pilot vigilantly watching the movements of the two trains. Shortly before 8 o'clock tho pilot train arrived at the Union Pacific depot in this city and was followed in fifteen minutes by the presidential special. They were laid side by side and at-tracted but little attention until the hour tor stirring in the morning ar-rived. Secretary Sells, who had been in charge of the delegation left the car but the others remained until morning. The distinguished party thus drawn into the city aud about which tha won-derful display of today has centered consists of the president and Mrs. liar- - jWfS.' tuft' ' HEl fcl'TION AT I'OtATII I.O. Met l)T tlie Salt Lake and Ogdnn Com-mittee! and Invited to Utah. The members of the Utah committee appointed to go to Pocatello to meet the president left Salt Lake Thursday evening in a special car tendered by the Union Pacific, the party being under tho charge of General Agent Burley. At Ogden the members of tho committee appointed from that place, headed by Mayor Turner aud accom-panied by thirty ladies and gentlemon representing their city, joined the party iu another special car. The two cars were switched off early in tho morning nt Pocatello. At 3 o'ciock in the afternoon the com-mittee met with the local committee appointed by the Pocatello city council. The latter committee consisted of W. H. Savidge, Major Hall, 8. G. Fisher, l). G. W. Eichelberger and F. K. Walker. The following telegram was read : S. S. Bliss The president will receive the Salt Lake and Ogden delegations after the exercises at Pocatello are over. They can then get on pilot train and proceed. Please see that this is by them. Also notify Mr. Bancroft on arrival. I'SiguodJ "E. E. Calvin." Mr. Calvin Is the superintendent of that division and Mr. Bliss assistant superintendent. Mr, Ferry received a dispatch from the superintendent a short time later reading as follows: "E. P. Ferry Tho president will re-ceive the Ogden and Salt Lake delega-tions after tlie exercises at Pocatello are over. I will advise yon fully on ar-rival. E. E. Calvin." The result of the meeting was an ar-rangement that Mr. Savidge should welcome the president upon the ar-rival of thn train at 7 o'clock, and at tho close of tho local exercises intro-duce Chairman Salisbury of tho terri-torial committee. Tha latter, it was determined, should then introduce Mr. Ferry to speak for the committee, when Mr. Salisbury should introduce the various members of the committee, specifying the locality and position represented by each. As tho afternoon wore on the people of the city began to run up flags and posed of: President and Mrs. Grant; Governor Thayer, of Wyoming; Col-onel Fred Grant and wife; General O. E. Babcock, of the navy; and Adolp E. Borie, wife and daughter. In order to give President Grant and party the welcome due their rank and the affectionate regard in which the "Silent General" was held by the peo-ple, a meeting was called in the federal court rooms for the purpose of appoint-ing a committee on reception and en-tertainment. Governor Emery and ten others were named on the committee. They did not wait for their guests to reach the city before welcoming them, but went out to meet them on the road. The presidential party and the Salt Lake committee met at Peterson station in Weber canyon and together they jour-neyed toward Zion. On arriving at Ogden General Grant and party were again made tha recipi-ents of a tender of hospitality by Brighara Young, the municipal council of Salt Lake and the county officials of this county. In those days tha lines were tensely drawn, one committee was all mormon and the other all liberals. The engine and the train which bore the party to Salt Lake which were this not a republic, would be called a royal one, was decorated with flags and flowers, bunting and streamers in wild-est profusion. The locomotive seemed almost conscious of the noble burden it was dragging behind it and leaped along the track at an amazing speed, while tho engineer thrilled and trem-bled with pride in the responsibility of his station. The train pulled into the Ogden depot then a very primitive affair. The plat-form was thronged with people who had' been standiug there for hours straining their eyes and shading them with their hands from the glare of tho sun. As the locomotive snorted around tha corner and into view, then the emo-tions and language of the people's hearts came to their lips, their patriot-ism assertod itself and they shouted and cheered until mountain-circle- val-ley and rock-guarde- d canyon echoed and sung with the unconditional wel-come accorded the hero of a thousand battles both in the field and in the ex-ecutive mansion, for Grant's victories were not confined to the sword any more than they, were to the pen.

A. McClernand of Illinois, A. U. Williams of Arkansas and Elijah Sells of Utah. This is the staff with its lieutenants, that look after the governmental wel-sar- e of the great territory. In refer-ring to tho local administration and tha work accomplished by it President Harrison employed the mostcommeud-ator- y terms. "The reports," said he, "that are sub-mitted by your territorial officials ara all digested in the most exhaustive manner and probably awaken keener interest thau those from any other source. They indicate ' too that this great problem has been widely and as-tutely handled by tho authorities and while the clash at periods has been such as to excite apprehension at the capital violent issues have been avoided. To your officials is the credit due and I tako this opportunity to assure them of the nation's appreciation. You ara rapidly raaching the era of statehood and congress is patiently awaiting the signal from those at home who have managed this struggle." Only those who have beon within its horizon are capable of realizing the full magnitude of the responsibility that has been reposed in the territory staff by the nation. The have had to labor incessantly in the harmonization of all the elements that had an interest in the wellfres of I'tah and the work is well nigh accomplished as has been demon-strated in the past few hours. If there was any dissention left it withdrew to sulk in secret. Some of tha party a moment to an inquiry into in-ternal affairs aud from all that could be ascertained satisfied themselves that life and liberty are as safe within the confines of Utah as within those of tho rison, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Dimmick, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Postmaster-(ienora- l Wanamaker, Marshal Rans-dell- . Secretary of Agriculture Husk, Major Sanger, military attache, and Charles Saunders of San Francisco, together with representatives of the press association. THE PHESIDKMTIAL TRAIN. A Deaorlptloa or the Special that la Bearing tha Kxeoutlre Party. The Philadelphia Star thus describes the special train that is bearing the presidential party: "Tho Presidential Special" is the inscription in letters of gold on the forward panels of the com-bination baggage and smoking car "Aztlau," now on a side track in the New Jersey avenue yard of the Penn-sylvania Railroad company. That in-scription was painted on the "Aztlan" should be a portion of the train which will convey President Harrison and bis party over 9000 continuous miles of railway track. In rear of the "Aztlan" are four of the prettiest specimens of the car builder's art that human eye ever looked upon, and through this train this afternoon a Star reporter meandered, accompanied by Colonel Robert A. Parke and Superintendent itcKeeyer. ARRANGEMENTS FOB THE "AZTLAN." - The forward end of the "Aztlan," or so much of it as is not occupied by a dynamo for operating the elsctrio lights, will bo devoted to baggage and boxes of supplies of a nature. Then comes the smoking com-partment, upholstered In olive plush, furnished with chairs and sofa and provided with a library and a couple of desks. None of the books in the two book cases are political in their nature, but republican authors seem to be fully represented, aud the Hoosier writer Lew Wallace has "The Fair God" and "Ren Hur" on the shelves. Andrew Carnegie's "Around the World" is also there. Electric screw fans are at each end of the smoking compartment, so that when the press repre-sentatives weary of the twenty-fiv- e cent Havana atmosphere they can cut it up by turning tho current on. There is but one chair in the barber shop; that will be enough, for there will be but one barber. A large mirror Is properly situated, so that the presidont, whom having his hair trimmed, can see whether the barber is or is not snip- - nn? entitled to rank as heroes for what they have done iu subduing these wild lands to the uses of man- - I am glad to seo the evidences of prosperity that sur-round you here. I am glad that you are giving your attention to educational matters, and I am supremely glad that you are fostering thoso social and moral principles which tend to glorify our coinmou country. "I am glad, both for the red man and for the whites, that these too extensive reservations are being reduced by al-lotment of laud in severalty to the for-mer. This tends to make the Indians while it makes room for a multitude of American homes. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, ex-pressing my appreciation of the kindly attentions of the Grand Army of the Republic that is so well jcpresented hero, I return my most cordial and sin-cere thanks for the warm welcome that has been extended by the people of Pocatello." Loud cries for Mr. Wanamaker arose as soon as the president finished, and the latter brought the postmaster gen-eral forward and introduced him, but Mr. Wanamaker declined to talk. The crowd then clamored for Secretary Rusk andthefamousWisconsin statesman was then presented to the people. In re-sponse to the demand for a speech he said they had brought Mr. Wanamaker along to do the talking. 'lie" shook hands cordially with a number who pushed forward and spoke pleasantly right and left to those who greeted him. Mrs. Harrison came forward and was loudly cheered Some of the ladies wanted to shake hands with her, but it was explained that she had met with a fall and injured her hand. This ended the proceedings at the rear of the car, but a young lady, with a peculiarly attrac-tii-face came out and some ladies pressed forward to shake her hand. "Mrs. Dimmick?" asked one, "No" was the smiling reply, "this is Mrs. Russell Harrison." Babies were passed up to be held in tho arms of the party, Secre-tary Rush officiating with much enjoy-ment in this most unprompted feature of the proceedings. In the meantime the committee had him admitted to tho car and gathered in the drawing room where Hon. E. P. Perry, from behalf of the committee, invited the president, iu the following language to visit Utah: "Mr. President.

Ha has enjoyed tho richest encomiums of tho loftiest minds and that ho enjoys the esteem and confidence of the nation and its masses is demonstrated by the enthusiastic receptions that havo greeted him and the distinguished party at every pause in tho eventful pilgrim-age. I'OST M A STF. ENKHAL WANAMAKER. If there is any one department which more than any other needs a bus-iness man at the helm it is that over which Honorable John Wanamaker, the celebrated Philadelphia merchant, presides. There is no man in tho coun-try better qualified to manage the post-offic- e department than Mr. AVana-rnakr-and tho postal service has sel-dom been so well conducted us it has under him. Mr. Wanamaker began life as a sales-man, but soon enlisted in business for himself. His name became familiar to the public as one of the proprietors of Oak Hull establishment in Philadel-delphia- . When the Pennsylvia Hail-roa-company abandoned its old freight depot at Thirteenth and Market streets, ha conceived the idea of securing it for a general store. Tho plan was quickly put into execution, and the largest re-tail business iu the world has been built up there, the place being a bazaar that is the wonder to all visitors to the Qugker city. The great feature of the management is the mammoth establish-ment if its thorough organization. This organizing faculty has been carried in-to the charge of Mr. Wanamaker's pub-ti- c duties and contributed to the success of his administration. While John Wanamaker is widely known as a business man and as a public official, he is perhaps better known in his native city as a philanthropist He has established one of the greatest Sun-day schools in the country to which, for years, he has given his personal atten-tion. In connection wirti the church aud Sunday school a ramified system of charities is maintained that has" been a source of blessing to tens of thous-ands of the poor. Much has been said and written against the postmaster-general- , but those who have given utter-ance to the criticisms hava been unin-formed upon their subject, and it is with pculiar pleasure that The Times decorate their buildings profusely. With the approach of 6 o'clock the platform at the depot became crowded and this increased to a jam as the hour wore away, 0:50 being the time set for tho arrival of tho train. At 0:40 the pilot train was sighted far up the track. At that moment the bell on the school building began to ring and a long line of children filed out and marched across the street lo the platform. At 6:45 the pilot train, con-sisting of three coaches, pulled in and ran down below the depot. At G:50 the sound of many galloping hoofs attracted attention and a troop of Indians was seen rushing up the street. The leader carried an immense American flag and many of the band had small flags iu their hats or hands. The Indians drew up in line about 75 feet from the track and there waited to catch a view of the "Great Father." By this time tho presidential train was in sight and at 0:50 it came rattling in. Engine No. 701 was handsomely decorated with flags aud bunting anil seemed to be inspired with a sort of mute pride in its mission. The baggage ear following born the simple inscrip-tion in small letters, "The President's Special." Following the baggage car came four coaches, tho vestibule uining ck Coronado, the vestibule sleeping car New Zealand, the private car Ideal and the vestibule observation car Yaeuna. Thetrain came to a standstill and the dense mass of people surged toward the rear platform to see the presidont. At this point considerable delay oc-curred, as it was desired to move the train up a little, while it seemed to be impossible to get the orders conveyed to the front. The president appeared on the platform and was lustily cheered. While tho delay continued the people pressed about the platform aud the jircsident spoke pleasantly to them, asking them to be patient until the train Was moved. A proud father pushed forward with his little boy on his shoulder and the chief magistrate reached over aud shook the lad's hand. A lady bearing a huge bouquet forced her way to the car and asked that the flowers be given to the president. He wsts inside at the moment but came out instantly to thank the donor. "Were these roses grown here?" ke asked. "They are beautiful aud I much appre-ciate them.-- ' The train was finally moved up a lit-tle aud the crowd again closed iu about were running the train and doing tho honor to the party. President Grant was standing on the rear platform of the car with head uncovered ( in solemn ad-miration of the beauty of the surroundings. Beside him wero Borie and General Babcock, As the train slackened speed on near-ingth- e platform, the irrepressible small boy would jump on the steps and shake hands with the silent hero of Appo-mato- The children and people cheered and hollowed, tho president bowed so often that his vertabrtB was in danger of breaking, the band played as loud as lips could form notes on brass instru-ments, the bass drummer nearly beat in the head of his sheep covered cylin-der in an endeavor to give his enthus-iasm full swing there were no pianis-simo passages played by that band on that morning; everything was fortis-simo. Hon. George Q. Cannon greeted Gen-eral Grant and tendered bim the hospitalities of the city of Salt Lake on behalf of the council, he also introduced the president to Brigham Young, who observed: "This is the first time I have ever seen the presi-dent of my country." The unaffected cordialness of tha greeting was heartily acknowledged. Then the president of state conducted the president of church to the interior of the car and intro-duced him to the ladies and other mem-bers of the party. Mrs. Grant became very much inter-ested in the hero of so many matri-monial conquests, and engaged him in a conversation that lasted for several miles of tho distance between Ogden and here. President Grant sat on the rear end of the train with Mr. Cannon who an-swered all questions concerning the climate, soil and resources of the coun-try through which they were passing. On arriving at the depot of what was then the Utah Central, carriages were waiting to convey them to the Walker house. Thousands of people had as-sembled to give the guest of the city an enthusiastic ovation. The president waved his hat to the cheering throngs, and seated himself in the open barcueh provided for him, to which was hitched four superb white horses. The line of march up town was along South Temple to East Temple street. On both sides of this unsur-passed thoroughfare were hundreds of Sunday school children, the girls nearly all of them being attired in white. The band played, tho kids cheered, and Grant was made the recipient of tha ping pieces out of one of the dential ears. The bath room is rather diminutive; looks as though it might have been constructed for a leader of the "great unwashed" instead of for a republican president. ' There will be plenty of water on the train. In an auxiliary tank beneath tho smoker will be 141 gallons of the the precious fluid ready for uso in an emergency. THE DINNER-CA- "COUONADO. A dyspeptic could eat in tho dining car "Coronado." The tables are of oak and the curtains ara green plush. Pearl gray seats look coolly inviting and harmonize estheticaily with the silvery lamps, and fittings, A couple of waiters were busily engaged in clean-ing up silverware enough to supply a big hotel; one of the cooks was loading a tin cannister with ground coffee and another was rattling pots and pans in the kitched. The Stewart, with a cork-screw sticking out of an uppda vest pocket, was on his knees in front of tho wine chest stacking up bottles that were adorned with white and red and orange and green labels bottles whose mouths wera stopped with gold seals and silver seals and emerald seals and yellow seals, and a few black bottles that were choked with common and unadorned corks. THE PRESIDENT'S CAR NEW ZEALAND. Next to the commissary department is the president's car tho New Zeal-and. The main interior is upholstered iu blue plush with brown cuttains. but the sleeping apartments set aside for the President and Mrs. Harrison a double drawing room are dainty as a bridal chamber iu a bran-ne- hotel. White and gold prevails in tho decor-ative woodwork, the plush is a rich terra cotta. The effect is most pleasing. THE IDEAL. The Ideal is made up of six drawing rooms, all furnished and decorated in the highest style of the art. One room is salmon and white, with soma of the woodwork plain mahogany, tho rest of it salmon tinted and gold mottled. The berth panols are adorned with flowers aud gilt molding. Another apartment is safl'ron-hued- , a third is a sea-sic-green iu its general tinge, while tho others are crushed strawberry, olive and electric blue. - THE "VACUNA." A combined library and observation car is tho "Vacuna." In its forward end are six sections, upholstered in blue and metal-fitte- brass. Linen closets divide these sections from the observation car proper. Two sections '.,--- ward to ' where rolls the Oregon" and still northerly to that great inland sea where dwell the cities of the Sound, and now on your return eastward, when have accomplished the trip, you will have made a journey greates indistance and moro diversified in soil products, soenery and resources, than ever be-fore undertaken by czar, empress or king within his own dominions. While you havo found many states and terri-tories, you have found but one country bound together by one common heri-tage and history.
