Nr.w Voiuc , Juno 27. The World today
prints nn interview with President Harrison
relative to his recent Journey through Iho
touth anil west. The president is quoted as '
follows : "My Journey wns of course nn Im
portant event In my hfo. As a working law-
jcr , whoso fnco has buon , so to speak , held
closely to the grindstone of active practice , I
have iiot hail the tlmo I would hnvo liked to
tpund lu travel. Mv visit to the soulh nnd
to Iho paclllu country Ihuroforo wns a series
of dally surprises , and I oxparlonccd a konn
tense of personal enjoyment and gratillca-
tion from Iho beginning to the cud.
"Tho mountain regions of the Cnrohnns
ot Tennessee nnd of Georgia with the now
Industrial communities whloh have sprung
Into existence c.mnot fail to intcrosl Iho
visitor from other sections of the country.
The Importunco of these manuf.icturlng
to.vns should not bo iindorastlmiiod. They
nfford n vision of Iho gro.it south thnt Is to
come , a south of Increased Industry , pros-
porlly nnd luulcrinl wealth. Places like
Chuitnnoogu nnd Birmingham will become
greater und groalor ns llmo passes , and there
lire Ihoso nlivo lolny who mny behold un-
Dlhcr Plllsburg In many of them.
"Tho reception n.wlvo.1 was n trlhulo of
rot > i > cot to the presliU iitlnl ofllco nud of hos
pitality and courtesy towards the individual.
1 run say without rosorvutlon thnt from first
to Instl wns rocolvcd with kindness by every
body. As I strain my memory nnd review
everything Ihero wns nothing Ihnt occurred
that wns unplousnnt or annoying during my
" ( bur In the portion of the country thnt Is po-
llllcnlly opposed to mo. I rcc.vll on savoral
occnsIo'uB thut small sti-oot boys ran oat bo-
tidti the currlngo nnd shouted , 'How are you ,
lien ( 'with Uuowing looks on their cater ,
childish fnces. 1 refer to this to illustrate
how observant I tried to bo of nil that oc
curred , uo mutter how trilling.
When I deehleil to go south I resolved to
Bpe.ik Just ns freely ns I would lu Indiana ,
litlii not propose to enter Into controversial
discussions , but If in thu course of romnrks
iiuiilo to mo In iinblio I MUV nnythlng thnt 1
thought It my duly to niibwer I would do so
without hesitation. Permit mo to say thnt
the rognrd for the imtlonul cmblom iho Hug
of n foinmoa country which I everywhere-
beheld wns very agreonblo. The men of the
EOiith ronllzo ted ivy as they never did before
thut wo hnvo lu the United Stales a grout
nnd powerful nation of which they are proud.

know. Thu changes nro a stop In iho unlver-
enl progress which wo ns Amurlenns nro ex
periencing , and I was glnd and proud to
recognize ihls tendency.
"The old tlmo southerner generally led nu
ncriculturnl Ufa In his land , surrounded by
differential followers. Ho rode about , ro-
vlewcd his possessions nud , being thrown
lnrgcly upon tils own resources , thought
iiiuch. Ills mental vision bought not
to cross tun boundaries of his state. Now
the southern mun U inclined to look beyond ,
and beholding Iho grandeur of Ihe collected
tales Is Influenced thereby , all of which
< lux-lira well for the future.
"Nearly all iho states I visited nppcnrcd
* treuioly prosperous. A * I approached
( carer und nearer to Texas I became moro

Aitea by the people. The agriculturftl rich-
of the upper portion of the Lone Stnr
state undthocommurcinl future of tbo lighter
sorted regions nonr the coast were carefully
noted. With a rapidly increasing population
und growing understanding of the possibili
ties that tlmo will realize I see unlimited
prosperity for these within her borders.
"I wns received with warm hospitality by
the Toxnns nnd my trip down through the
midland counties to Galveston wns attended
by a general welcome from all. At Houston
I was received by a committee from Galves
ton nnd somewhat prepared by them for the
Ilatterlnc demonstrations of my reception.
My remarks upon reciprocity and upon the
doVolonmont of the trnuo of Galveston which
ought "to follow , among ether things proper
and much needed harbor Improvements ,
were the result of my earnest convictions.
If words have any moaning the responsible
citl/cns of this southern metropolis under
stand ns well as any others iho advantages
for themselves nnd to their state of progress
in trade fa-'ilitles. I uttered some strong
words concerning the need of improvement
ot waterways for Gnlveston , which subse
quent rollcct'ons ' has intensified.
" 1 held Interesting conversations with
many prominent citizo'is , ono , for instance ,
with Governor Hogg , whom I found to bo a
progressive nnd enlightened man. I have
seen the governor since nnd ho gave mo information
mation which will , I thinkresult ; well for the
futtlro ; of his state. His earnestness lu re
pressing lawlessness In certain sections will
result favorably to Immigration In Toxns , an
empire of itself which hnsn great hcroafter. "
The president related nn Incident nppropos
of his visit to Ciiilveston. The people were
enthusiastic over his speech , and after his
loturn \\Vslilngton a request was sent to
Unprosentotlvo Craino of the "Shoestring
district , " a * it is calleu , which contains Gnl
veston , to get the Texas dolejation together
nnd call at the white house and congratulate
the president In botinlt of the city. Craino ,
who is somewhat of a wag , tolopraped buck :
"That is nil very well , but you have not considered
' . " General
sidered the president's mossngo.
llurrUon recites this anecdote with twinkling
oyos.
"Callfornln , " ho continued , "llko Toxns
wns n now country to mo. I had
previously visited the northern Pacific
slope , Oregon and the Puqct Sound dis
tricts. The characteristic exuberance of
California hospitality poured on mo until I
felt there was no limit. In the infrequent
Intervals whoa not occupied .by the attci.lions
of iho pcoplo I feasted my eyes upon the rich
fruits , the gorgeous ( lowers nnd the peculiar
nnd varied natural attractions tbo climate
develops. I s polio when It was fitting that I
should do so , and the souse of pleasure which
was cniromloiod nt iho commencement of the
trip attended mo throughout California and
continued until I returned to Washington.
"If all men were permitted to derive ns

Have Not aw Yet Mudo Known
the Object of Tlielr
WASIIIVOTOV , Juno 27. For the first tirn
in the history of this country wo are to Invo
n series of naval mnmouvroi involving tin
problems of actual warfnro ns presented In
an attack on one of our great maritime ports
by u foreign naval forso and Its defense by tin
Amarlcan nmy.
For yean past Great Britain , Franco ,
Italy and other ICuropoan powers h.ivo an-
nuiill.v practiced similar miniuivro ) , somo-
tlmes , us in the case of Uroat Bntnln , at
heavy expense , but the rusulU have
boon so important as to Justify
the expenditure. In the case of the United
States there has boon sluuo the war no naval
force adequate to carry out maniuuvros of
any vuluo. The squadron of evolution was
formed iVltli such a purpoio in vlow , but
until recently it was not sufllotontly numer
ous to undertake the solution of tha larger
naval war problems , nnd Its operations were
limited to great gun practice mid fiool evolu
tions.Vith the recent additions to the
naval list , however , this obstacle has disap
peared , and Secretary Tr.ioy has propircd a
selio no to carry out his views , which will bo
given effect nt onco.
Tno llrit mjveinont will bo to attach tha
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and tha torpsdo
boat Cashing temporarily to the sqti'Uron of
evolution , nnd orderi to that end hnvo nt <
leady bo3n made out. Admiral Wallcor hai
alsoboea directed "lo propiro linnuJlulolji a
programme of mimiiiivros for ihu sutamoi
and early autumn which will dUpoin ol
the forces under your command to tha
host advantage and confer practical tralnma
on the oIllcoiM and mun under conditions fof
lowing as closely as pojsiljlo these of actuu !
warfnie. It u Intended that the mamnuvra i
shall follow ns soon as may bo convenient
upon the preliminary operations at DoUon
and Now York to taku plnco in July , thi
practical object of which is to cxnmlno tin
conditions of the problem of the nmrltlma de
fense of New York , Long Island Sound and
the cast of Newfoundland. "
It is expected that the doubled turrctod
monitor Mianonoumh. now ut New York ,
will bo completed In tlmo to lake part In th
manoeuvres. There will bo bat ono torpedo
bout iingjgod , so that a fall demonstration ol
the elllcacy of their clau of olTonsivo voisoU
cannot bo thoroughly demonstrated , but ar
rangements have been nindo to supply hot
with fish torx | > dee * . which will thus bo given
thulr first trial In American naval operation !
under conditions approaching these of actual
wai faro.
The proposed evolutions , according to Sco
rotary Tracoy's vlown , will boot largo practi
cal roiults. The detects of the now tihips , If
they have any , will bo fully rovoulod and
llielr actual capacity nt olfunsivu nnd dci-
fensivo forces will bo demonstrate ) . Thoia
will also bo opporluaitliit in plenty for thn
display ol Individual o.itorprlcj and practical
slull on the part of iho olllccrs and of disci
pline and iimrKnuiiship on thu part o ( ttm
men. Among thu rosulU of thv Bnglish
naval mnuiouvros were the rovnlntloas of
startling dafeots In the systems of coaling ,
engine construction and inurlno designwhich
have since been followed by notabia
chnngus in Iho Kngllsh navy , and
II is presumed that valuable rciulU
will follow Admiral Walker's rnancumres.
