Countless Thousand* in Line.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—1n the glittering sun
ihine and bracing air to-day the people en
joyed a magnilicent parade. Hundreds of
thousands crowded the town. People in
town were early astir, though the booming
of the cannon to signal the start of the pro
aession was not heard until 11 o’olock. Out
from the orowded hotels and from the
boarding houses of the outskirts people
came even before sunrise to brighten
the streets with movement and with
the color of vivid badges. The po
lice as early as 7 o’olock closed all
the bridges whioh cross the city’s turbid,
filthy river. At 10 o’clock the line of march
was clear. It was several miles long. Vice
President Morton, under a civil escort, took
his position on the reviewing stand at 11
o’clock. Soon after 11 o’clock three guns
spoke out the signal for the parade to move.
There appeared at the starting point the
chief officer of the day, and the police ahead
of him led the way, the various bodies fall
ing in from streets opening on the route of

check the dense crowd whioh thronged the
sidewalks and forced itself into the streets,
come polioe mounted. Directly behind
them came Sousa’s band, acting as escort of
the Mexican national band. The visitors
from beyond the Hio Grande were given a
hearty welcome. As quickly as the last
strains from one band died away another
took it up and from the beginning to the
end of the march was continuous martial
music. At the heels of the Mexican band was
Maj. Gen. Miles, grand marshal of the
parade. Behind him clattered a swarm of
aids. TheS Chicago iiussars in black with
white trimmings were the escort to the

Bohemian Turner societies and|?oO German
veterans, who marched proudly beneath the

had inarched in less peaceful times. There

man wore a tartan nnd bagpipes shrieked
shrilly. Two hundred and fifty men of the
Royal Scots regiment, clad ia royal Stuart
plaid, called for loud cheers of approval.
The black and gold of the Sons of St.
George followed the Highlanders.
Teen came the Croatian and Polish
societies, about 2,000 strong. After them
came ten times as many ranks, and with its
proportionate number of men and every
man a Swede. In four carriages were six
teen pretty girls representing the various
national female costumes of Sweden and
Norway.
The next division was made up of 2,000
boys from the city grammar and high
schools.

every Grand Army post in Chicago and
Cook oounty, reinforced by numerous dele
gations from the neighboring cities. The
veterans were not above 800 strong, and in

form stood forty-four columns, each sur-
O' unted by a gilt star, representing the

THE LINE OF MARCH.
The line of march was as follows: Mlehi-
KS'i avenue, north to Van Buren stroet,
west on Van Buren to Wabash avenue,
Berth on Wabash avonue to Lake street,
% t*t on Lake to Btato street, south on State
to Adams street, west on Adams to Frank
lin, south on Franklin to Jackson and oast
° Jaokson to State. The official grand re
viewing stand woe built on a portion of the
federal building at Adams street, from
which a magnificent .view was obtained by
the vice presidential party aud other nota
ble visitors. On three sides of the build
ing—Adams, Dearborn.and Clark streets—
* stand stretched from tho walls to the side-
§9je Ulotfnma
walk. Twenty-two boxes flanked in line the
vice presidential position on either side, and
held comfortably nine persons easb. These
boxes were for the various state governors.
Behind the presidential box a section was
reserved for the diplomatic cerps. The
press section, consisting of several reserved
rows, was to the left and directly opposite
the presidential boxes. The Adams street
stand was tilled to overflowing with invited
guests and with municipal authorities.
The entire sectiens on the Clark and
Dearborn street sides were occupied by 3,400
school children appropriately dressed in
national colors. There were 1,400 ef these
young Americans on either side. At inter
vals patriotic and other songs were sung by
them in chorus. The Adams street section
seated about 2,500 people, and altogether
nut less than 6,000 people were an the whelo
range of tbe stand. Tbe governmoal build
ing itself was elaborately decorated with
festoons of natioaal and municipal govern
ments, forming a gorgeous background to
the glorious picture presented by the parade
at tbe central point of interest.
THE THRONG IMMENSE.
On the streets to-day the crowd waß
something fearful. Chicago has at dif
ferent times handled many a throng of
visitors, but this one was away beyond
anything she aver dealt with. It is esti
mated that at least 200,000 people viewed
the parade and after it was over and done
a majority of the downtown restaurants
were compelled to dose their doors uatil
they could attend to those who had
already gained admittance. It was not
ag steady flew; it was a congestion
that created tbe temporary dilßculty in the
matter of obtaining eatables. In the main,
however, Chicago was equal to the occasion
Naturally '.here were aecidents, fainting
women, children trampled upon and here
and there a man dropped from a roof, but
these are the aftermath of every gathering
such as was seen en Chicago’s streets to
day. As the dlfferoat governors of elates
past the reviewing stand, seme en horse
back and ethers ia carriage-, each was
greeted with a succession of cheers which
kept him bewlag for many minutes. The
crowd was impartial in pditios and yelled
as Justly for Goy. Flower of
New York as it did for
Gov. HoKlnley of Ohio. Gov. MoKinley’s
carriage was compelled te halt, and little
gamine, clinging to a lamp post Bhouted,
"Stand up there McKinley so we can see
you.” A roar of laughter followed the
■brill tongued suggestion, and a broad smile
went over the governor’s countenance as he
gracefully took the hint aud rose to his feet
to bow bis acknowledgment to the oheere
and applause of the crowd.
THE INDIAN SCHOLARS.
The Indian scholars from Capt. Pratt’s
school at Carlisle, Pa., were as prominent
features of the parade a9 they were in New
York last week and were greeted with en
thusiastic cheers as they onme by. They
carried long yellow poles, "pon the end of
which were fastoned models of tools, em
blematic of the different trades.
On tbe east side of the Federal building
1,000 little girls, who, by their dress and
arrangement formed a mammoth living
American flag, sang patriotic songs and
greeted the marohlog host with the waving
of their flags.
The weather was admirable for the pa
rade. Tbe sun shone warm tiering the early
portion of the day, hut iater the sky was
overcast, and, to many spectators who stoed
hour after hour watching the stream flow
past, the fresh northern breoze was a trifle
uncomfortable, but for the men who bore
tho burden of the day, tbe temperature
could not have been better adjusted.
Fully 10,000 people thronged upon the
floor ef the armery of tbe First artillery to
night, in response to invitations issued by
Lteut. Col. Heary I. Turner of that regi
ment In point of numbers the event far
surpassed the notable affair of last night at
the Auditorium, and in brilliancy ana suc
cess it was fully its equal. The
armory was elaborately decorated with
flags and bunting, and Its Interior pre
sented a handsome and patriotic appear
ance. The ball was essentially military in
all its features, end when the festivities were
at their bight the great armory floor, cov
ered with the bright costumes of the ladies
and dark blue and geld of the military
guests, presented a handsome appearance.
The reoeption began at 8:30 o’clock and
lasted for two hour., wbee danolng began.
Shortly before midnight the gentlemen who
had been present at the Fellowship Club din
ner adjourned, with Vioe President Morton
at their head, to the armory.
THE FELLOWSHIP CLUB BANQSBT.
At the banquet of tba Fellowship Club
to-night the proaident of the club intro
duced the guests to each ether by tha pas
sage of the “loving oup," which was circu
lated among tbe guests by F. Willis Rise,
who, as he ratted it around, announced the
name of the gentleman partaklßg,
The first to receive and drink of the unc
tion of good fellowship contained in the
cup was Vice President Morton. The Vice
President, as he raised the cup, was greeted
with enthusiastic applause. As the oup
continued on its passage, tha fellewing gen
tlemen received the rnest pronounced de
monstrations from tbs oeaipany: Chauncey
Depow, Chief Justice Fuller, Direotor Gen
eral George R. Davis, three justices of
the supreme oourt, Harlan, Wood and Gray,
Richard Harding Davis, F. D. Millett, the
painter and writer; 8. T. Ganders, the
sculptor, and William Springer. In tbe
order of events whsn Mr. Rice reached the
ohief executive of New York, he introduced
him as "Gov. Flower of Fire Island.” The
foreign representatives in Massachusetts
were also given warm reoeption, but special
vim was put into the cheers whioh greeted
Beuor de Lome, the Spanish minister, and
Baron Fava, Italy’s representative at Wash
ington. The officials ef tbe werld's fair,
from President Palmer and Mr. Hlgin
botham down, had no cause to find fault
with the reception they reoeived. Senator
Sherman of Ohio, Gen. Boholield, Secretary
Tracy of the navy. Papal Nuneio
Satolli, Cardinal Gibbons and other
well-known gentlemen, local, national
and international, were given special re
ceptions on the.? rising to take the club cup
with its liquid bond of fellowship. After
the whole rouad had been made Whitalaw
Reid was intreduoed aud without regard for
politlos the cempauy shouted in unison. Ex-
President Hayes received perhaps the
loudest and longest continued demonstra
tion by tho company, William McKin
ley was also kept on his feet
several seconds by the applause which
saluted him whsn he rose to fellowship with
the other guests.
THE BPEECIIEA
Mr. Soott then delivered an address of
welcome, which was received with oheera
by the crowd. The speeches were oontlned
to a few sentences, usually witty and al
ways apt. The speakers were Vice Presi
dent Morton, Searotary of State Foster,
President Palmer of the world’s fair,
Baron Fava, Chief Justloe Fuller, Gov.
McKinley and Mr. Depew. The latter was
in his best vein, and altheugh he reached
Chicago only at 6 o’clock this evening,
after the parade was over, his speech was
full of local hits In regard to the day’s
events and pleased his audience Im
mensely. Whitelaw Retd, who was ra-,
celved with wild applause, spoke eloquently
of the interest felt in New York
in the exposition and predicted from his
knowledge of tbe Paris exposition, gained
while minister to Franoe, that the world’s
fair in Chloago would surpass anything of
tho kind ever held in the world. Director
of Works U. Burharn and Richard M. Hoyt

A Holiday in New York.
New York, Oot. 20. —The mooted ques
tion whether to-morrow ia or is not a legal
holiday was praotieally Settled to-day In tbe
affirmative. Sheriff Gorman received a
telegram from Albany which stated that
the attorney general held that it was a legal
holiday, and that his office would be closed.

or orinlaal courts. The banks and other
financial institutions nnd business house gen
erally will also be olesed.

GROCERS GO TO SMASH.
They Bought Heavily and Borrowed
Extensively to tbe Last.
New York, Oet. 20. —C. Burkhalter &
Cos., wholesale grooers at Ns. 121 and 123
Hudson street, corner of North Moore street,
failed to-day. Their liabilities may reach
$700,000. Charles and John H. Burkhalter,
who compose the firm, made a general as
signment to Charles H. Fauoher, president
of the Irving National Bank. They gave
preferences aggregating $183,167, all for
borrowed money.
The fail ure has causod a great deal of ex
citement among the creditors and tome
very severe oritloism. The firm has always
stood well in trade cirolee and their paper
sold well. On tbe strength of this reputa
tion, it is said, they have borrowed large
sums of money up to within a day or two of
their falluro. They also bought goods on
orodll this week. Their purchases were
made and money borrowed on representa
tions that they were perfectly solvent. It
was said by some of the creditors to-day
that they understood that the Arm had hy
pothecated standing aooounts to secure
one or two of the banks for borrowed money
and also that part of their stock had
been hypothecated. Tho creditors had a
time this afternoon getting out writs
of replevin to secure goods which the firm
had just purchased on credit. The sheriff’s
officers west to the store with the creditors
to pick out their good*. Tbe largest re
plevin was in favor ef Fleming & Crooks,
for $12,500. Mr. Fleming refused to say
anything about it. Other replevins were in
favor ef James R. Smith & Cos., $2,670;
James H. Stent & Cos., $1,192; Adolph Ot
tiager, $802; Henry M. Day, $680; Jacob D.
Nordlinger ft Cos., $387. The oreditors
allege fraud in their writs of replevin. Tbe
paper of tbe firm was not only sold in this
city, but also in Boston. Sales of a consid
erable amount were made by brokors last
week to banks aad individuals and sold, it
is said, as high as any grocery paper.
ARMY OFFICERS IN CONGRESS.
Their Eligibility Never Passed on By
the War Department.
Washington, Oot 20.—The question of
the eligibility to ooagrosa of retired army
officers, as presented In tho case of Gen.
Catlin and Gen Sickles, nominated by
the democrats in New York for oongre s,
appears to be anew one and excites muoh
interest at the war department. Tbe legal
officers of the department say that the ques
tion fens never been presented to the de -
department in like form and consequently
there is no precedent to serve as a basis of
opinion. In an opinion given July
11, 1877, Attorney General Devens held that
“ a retired officer of the army does not
vacate his commission Dy accepting a civil
office unless it be an office in the dipio>
matin and consular service.” This decision
of course applies to all civil offices, includ
ing those within the gift ef a state or mu
nicipality, but tbe general opinion at tbe
department is that in the oase ef a repre
sentative in oongress the constitution makes
an army officer, active or retired, ineligible
unleei he surrenders his commission.

first families ef Tusoumbia. Burgess fled
to Texas. Two men went to Texas,
got him and wken last heard from were
between Marshall, Tex., and Tuscutnbia

Byres'intention is, if possible, to capture
the alleged kidnappers when they reach
Memphis and take Burgess out of their
bands. He believes that it is tbe purpose
ef the friends ef the young woman to lynch
Bargees as soon as he reaches Tusoumbia.

SORROW IN EVERY HEART
A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE IN
MRS. HARRISON’S CONDITION.
Yesterday a Particularly Sad One at
the White House Because It Was
the Anniversary of tho President’s
Marriage—Reminiscences of the Hap
py Past Seem to Make the Gloom
of the y resent Only tha Heavier.
Washington, Oct. 20. a par
ticularly sad day at the white house, where
all the days are sorrowful now. It was tho
anniversary of that happy wedding thirty
nine years ago, when Benjamin Harrison
and Caroline Soott were made man aud
wife. Mrs. Harrison’s oondition has not
materially changed for a week, but her life
is slowly ebbing away. The gloom that
pervades tho household seemed deeper to
day as tho happy wife of tha President and
his wife was called to all their minds by the
anniversary, and they could not help con
trasting the happiness that has gone before
with tho sadness of the present hour. The
President saw no one and remained indoors
all day long except for a short walk in the
afternooD, during which he was accom
panied by Mrs. MoKeo and Mrs. Pimmick.
There was a larger number of telegrams and
letters of sympathy reoeived to-day than is
usual.
A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE
Washington, Oct. 20, 10 i\ m. —There
has Leena change for tho worse in the con
dition of Mrs. Harrison and to-night she is
weaker than she bat been at any tune since
her illness began. She is greatly exhausted
and cannot turn her bead upon the pillow.
Her oough, which had ceased to trouble her,
is now said to have increased. This, com
ing as it does in paroxysms, has a very de
pressing and exhausting effect on the pa
tient und tends to reduce her
vitality. Mra Harrison passed a
comparatively quiet day and did
not suffer so muoh from nervousness. Bhe
experienced more difficulty than usual, how
ever, in taking nourishment, which she has
heretofore taken with systematic regularity.
Although she is in suoh a very weak state,
yet her physician said to-night that he did
□ot apprehend any immediate fatal rorults,
and thought it probable that by morning
she might rally and regain some of her lost
strength.
MAY DIE AT ANY MOMENT.
Washington. Oot. 20, 11 i>. m.— At 10
o’clock Mrs. Harrison bad rallied somewhat
from her severe attack of prostration and
Dr. Gardner said she was resting a little
more ouietly and feeling a little stronger.
Mrs. Harrisuu’s condition ii so precarious
that she may pass away within a few hours,
should another sinking spell oocur. This
may happen at any time now from tbe nat
ural effect of tbe disease and in the absence
of any new complications.
MEXICO’S OUBTOM DUTIES.
Important Reductions Made and Mere
Reforms Probable.
City of Mexico, Oot. 20.—The govern
ment publishes a decree reforming
the customs tariff by reducing
the duties on cotton 29, on
printing paper Bft and en hogs and cattle
33 per cent. The duties en Virginia tobac
co, lard, iron, glass, and articles necessary
for numerous rnauufaotures are also low
ered. The decree sets forth the treasury
department’s policy with reference to for
eign commerce in tbe direction of lowering
■ome import duties and placing light or
merely fiscal duties on various
articles which heretofore have been
free. These changes have caused
a great sensation, being strongly approved
by merohauts and consumers of foreign
goods, but bitterly opposed by eotton goods
manufacturers and others, who, till now,
had managed to have the government
maintain almost prohibitive duties oncer
tain articles in accordance with their inter
ests. The government is considering the
subject of reforming certain customs regu
lations, which are onerous and generally in
comprehensive to foreign shippers, and also
the abolition of many tines.

inspired article, says that Chancellor von
Caprivi revised the military bill carefully
before it reoeived Emperor William’s sig
nature and that he excluded from the bill

The debate on the bill m the Bundesrath is
expected to continue for three weeks.

terian Bynod of New York.

terian synod is in session hero. The judicial
ooinmittco to-day reported as follows oa two
complaints of Dr. Briggs and bis friends
against the action of the New York presby
tery: “The committee find tho oompluints in
order, but recc mmend that it is inexpedient
to take notion at the present time, for the
highest oourt has taken action covering the
points at issue nnd the lower oourt is now
proceeding under it.”
The following minority report was also
submitted: "Wo, the undersigned mem
bers of the judiciary committee, to whom
was referred the complaint signed by Fran
cis Brawn ia behalf of himself and others,
would respectfully report that we heartily
agree with and coincide in the report of the
majority except as to the recommendation.
We do not join in the recommendation of
the majority. Ia view of ell the circum
stances of tho case, we deem it
unwise and Inexpedient as coming
from the judiciary oommittee. Signed,
Rev. George B. .Spalding ef Spraouse, Itev.
R. D. Hproull of Brooklyn. Elder L. T.
Hamilton of Bridgeport, Elder Horace
Briggs of Buffalo.”
Iho majority report woe signed by the
remaining eleven members of the oommit
teo. Tha difference between the two re
ports is that tbe minority report makes no
recommendation, but simply brings the
cate before tbe synod for Its action. A hot
discussion followed the roeeipt of the mi
nority report, whioh lasted until the ad
joui ament. The matter will come up again
to-morrow.

Weaver, the People’s perty candidate for
President, spoke this afternoon to a large
crowd. The geueral related a number of
luoldents of his southern trip. The solid

party ticket this fall. The speaker said he
honestly believed that with a fair ballot
aud fair count a majority of tbe whites in
overy southern state would this fall oast
their votes for the people’s
ticket, but there has been intimi
dation and unfair work. But this landslide
to the People’s party, the speaker
contended, is the only thing which can as
sure a free ballot. The Republican party
has controlled tbe federal government ever
since tb.i war, with the exception of four
years, uud has never succeeded in remedy
ing tho matter. It oould not be remedied
from tho outside, the reform must come from
within. The speaker said that, of course,
there nad been violence and eggs, but he
wanted It understood that Georgia had no
monopoly on the egg business. He asserted
that ouly a few days ago in Kansas
Congressman Otis was egged, as was also a
t raveling man who looked like Congressman
Otis. Oon Weaver said the people should
own the railways and telegraph lines. He
said the telegraph lines are controlled by
monopolists, and that is the reason Weaver
meetings get only three Unas In the morn
ing papers, when tho news should be spread
from Maine to California.

adopted country, and the gelden oppor
tunity now afforded us of dealing our en
emy and oppressor, the British empire, •
deadly blow with our ballots."

a deadly blew to England and shatter has
Slundered wealth and ootnraeroe as tbs
IcKltiley bill and the great roolproolty not

no occasion for this appeal to Irlth-Amerl

adopted lands against the ensmy of both,
were it not for the deplorable circumstances
that so many remain in large cities liks
New York, whore offloe-bolding politicians

the principles of Emmet, Wolfe and Wash
ington against oppression, for which, if
captured, he would now be treated aa a de
graded criminal In an English dungeon,
but escaping, took refuge in this
(roe laud; and after proving
himself a loyal citizen of the rspuhllo was
elevated to a responsible position ia the
diplomatic service by President Harrison,
bringing down tbe wrath and hatred of tbe
entire British empire, backed by the press
ami managers ef the Deiaocratlo party,
upon President Hnrriseh aud demanding
tlie reoali of Minister Ratriok Egaa from
Chile. But despite all these powerful in*
Uusnoea President Harrison proved himself
a true Amerlsan aid sinoere friend of the
Irish exile and refused to recall 'Minister

DEMOCRATS TO WIN NEW YORK.
Harrlty Points Out the Significance of
tbe Heavy Registration.
Nkw York, Oot. 20.—A circular issued
at the demooratio headquarters says: "Foi
Brooklyn the registration foots up 130,084
names, as against 118,314 In 1888. This in
crease of 11,770 is more than tho normal
gain through the growth ot Brooklyn dur
ing four years. In New York oity the total
for two days is 202,376, against 187,401 foui
years ago. The excess for 1892 is at least
up to the normal standard of the city’s
growth and furnlshos a perfect answer to
the republican claim of democratto
apathy.”
Mr. llarrity, chairman of the domocratio
national oommittee, says of the New York
registration ou Wednesday, that the figure#
were highly gratifying, aud that tbe ifi
oroase seemed to bo tho heaviest in the lo
calities where the demooratio vote was tha
largest. "The registration,” added Mr.
Harrlty, "means that the people of New
York, ns elsewhere, have .made up their
minds deliberately on the demooratio side.
This is a democratic year, and especially so
is it evident in tho great city of Now York."
