Five thousand persons, citizens as
w e ll as old soldiers, pushed and strug
gled to be the first in the lines of those
in waiting to see the commander-in
chief of the Grand Army arrive in St.
Paul. The train bearing Commander
Walker and party was due at the
Union depot at 8 o'clock, but as early
as 7 there was a crowd formed at the
entrance of the station, which the
police could not keep back. On Fourth
street, at the Endicott arcade, the
Grand Army posts of the city assem
bled early to march in line to greet
their chief. Capt. J. J. Mc-Cardy, of
ficer of the day, was first on the
ground astride a splendid horse. Then
came Acker post, Gen. Ord post and
finally Garfield post. The veterans
formed into line and followed by a,
throng of citizens, proceeded to the
station and were aligned in parade
rest awaiting the arrival of the Great
Western train. Eight o'clock came
and no train appeared. Finally, it was
learned that the train Avas late — one,
two, perhaps three hours. The crowd
was slow to learn the news and lpth
to leave the points of vantage gained,
although the police made every effort
to clear the depot and make way for
the throngs that were pouring in on
every train. And these trains were ar-

riving at the rate of one every Aye
minutes and each bearing hundred- of
passengers. The press inside the sta
tion was something appalling. It was
not a crowd the police could threaten
for half the strangers were women and
children. They were there to pay tht
tribute of respect to the commander
in-chief of the city's guests. Capt. Mc-
Cardy looked pleased at the crowd,
even if it did ruffle his plumes, and
Mayor Doran thought it was all right,
and the pushing and crowding contin
ued. But the old soldiers, as soon as
the delayed arrival was learned, were
put about face and back they marched
to the Endlcott building, where for
nearly three hours they stood at ease
in line and listened to the music of the
band that played patriotic airs almost
without cessation.
Finally there was the welcome cry,
"Attention," and there was a bustle in
the waiting ranks as the old soldier
lined up awaiting the order to march.
Capt. McCardy wheeled into the front
of the line with Acker Post following
and other posts falling into line the
march to the union depot was again
begun. The vetrans were lined up in
the station while Capt. McCardy,
Mayor Doran and others of the recep
tion committee proceeded to the plat
form to greet the commander as he
stepped from the train. The Great
Western train came into the depot
gaily decorated. In the center car
were Commander Walker and staff,
and on the outside was a large banner
with the inscription, "Department of
the Potomac, Grand Army of the Re
public." First to alight from the car
were several young ladies, then came
Mrs. Walker, who was followed by her
distinguished husband. There was
seme cheering as Gen. Walker stepped
to the platform and Capt. McCardy ad
vanced to meet the city's guest, with
a brief salutation of welcome. Mayor
Doran, Capt. Castle, Gen. Flower, Col.
Albert Scheffer and others of the re
ception committee were in turn Intro
duced and the party started through
the depot to the carriages. Then there
was much cheering, the crowd declar- j
ing in a manner most enthusiastic that !
Gen. Walker was "all right." The
party formed in line, Capt. McCardy
and Mrs. Walker in front, Mayor
Doran and Gen. Walker next and
others of the committee and the guests
following in pairs. The crowd gave
way and through the lines of cheering
people the strangers finally reached the
carriages in waiting and the brief
drive to the Hotel Ryan was begun.
The first carriage that moved from
the depot contained Mayor Doran,
Commander-in-Chief Walker, Mrs.
Walker and Miss Percy Walker, daugh
ter of the commander-in-chief.
The second carriage contained Gen.
Walker's son and daughter, his niece,
Miss Beck and Miss Dietrich, daugh
ter of Col. Dietrich, the commander's
chief of staff.
The third carriage contained Adjt.
Gen. Irwin Robbins. Col. H. H. Diet
rich, chief of staff; W. H. Armstrong,
of the national council, and J L. Ben
nett, assistant adjutant general.
The fourth carriage was occupied by
Quartermaster-General A. J. Burbank,
Miss Rood and Mrs. Wilson, of Chi
cago.
The fifth carriage contained Capt.
Ca.stle, Gen. Flower, Gen. Mason, Gen.
Baker and Frank Dayton.
The last of the succession of car
riages contained Hon. Albert Scheffer,
Capt. Jack Crawford, chief of Indian
scouts, and Gen. Patrick, past depart
ment commander of Florida.
At the head of the procession, as
it moved up Sibley street, was a pla
toon of police, Lieut. Boerner in com
mand. Back of them were the depart T
ment of Minnesota veterans, with
Capt. McCardy in command. Then
came the band. Acker Post, 150 strong,

epeatedly cheered as the procession

Sixth street, all the visitors gave ut
terance to expressions of delight at
the scene before them. The band
gand struck e.odpuayn^ oaksm gskls
struck up the "Star Spangled Banner, '
and as the guests disappeared in the
doors of the Ryan, the crowd outside
gave three cheers and dispersed to
find other persons to glorify.
Oen. Walker and partj- proceeded to
parlor 4, where they found a num
ber of ladies and gentlemenin waiting,
and after an informal reception, last
ing only a few minutes, the guests
were hurried off to their apartments
to prepare for the dinner, which was
then in waiting.
In addition to the commander-in
chief and his party, 50.000 strangers
slept within the city's gates last night.
Most of them reached the city yester
day, but how they got here is one of
the mysteries. At 10 o'clock yesterday
morning there were comparatively few
of the scores of trains scheduled to ar
rive in the early hours of the day
that had been reported, at the depot.
The streets were no more crowded
than In any busy afternoon. But two
hours later the crush at the Union
•depot became more nd.tlceable. The
street car lines were beginning to reap

a portion of their harvest, and the
stranger within the gates became so
'numerous that the townsmen were
kept busy answering questions and
assisting the travelers onward on their
way to shelter and rest. Most of the
early comers were travel stained and
weary. They had come" from a long
distance and they wanted rest and
refreshment before they stopped to ad
mire the decorations. By 1 o'clock
there was a long line of trains in the
depot yards and others reported at
short intervals along the tracks of
every line awaiting the orders of the
train dispatcher. There never was
such a crush in the Union station be
fore. There have been" times when
there were as many arrivals, perhaps,
but never such a crush. It seemed
as though all the excursionists had
arrived at the same hour.
This avalanche of humanity was
humcl-ed upon the city ;• r.n inc-c-di
bly short time. "In* an X <_Jtiail.' ntioit
time the strangers were* disposed of
by their friends of the . accommoda
tions committee, and on every car
and In every street was seen a long
line of travelers, some carrying grips,
others old-fashioned carpet sacks, and
some carrying blankets strapped knap
sack-fashion on their shoulders.

The headquarters for newspaper men,
located in the third fioor of Newspaper
Row, have made a distinct hit with the
correspondents who areh-r-re to do the
encampment for their various papers,
and yesterday the place took on a
thoroughly businesslike appearance.
Nothing ts lacking for the perfect com
fort and convenience of the visiting |
scribes. The spacious rooms have been !
equipped with typewriters, telegraph \
Instruments, pen, ink and paper, and
several attractive stenographers have !
been placed at the disposal of the writ
ers by the encampment committee.
A cotd al invit tion has been expended
by the local newspaper men to their
visiting brethren to occupy the quar- j
ters and make themselves quite at
heme. There is no noise or confusion, j
and the messenger service makes it i
possible to mail or file stuff without j
unnecessary delay. The following
newspaper men from other cities regis- '
tered at the headquarters yesterday: '

As an illustration of the greatness
of the number of people who are pour
ing Into St. Paul, the words of C. T.
Conley, assistant general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
THREE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR COMMANDS H-IN-CHIEF.
JOHN" C. LINEHAN.
Paul railroad, may be quoted. Mr.
Conley said yesterday afternoon:
"Our road made its arrangements
and arranged Its schedule for 56 regu
lar daily trains and 48 special trains
for Monday and Tuesday. The first half
of the first day has demonstrated that
our estimate of the number of passen
gers to be carried Is entirely too low.
We will have to put on a great many
more trains to accommodate the traf
fic. Our original figures have already
been revised."
The immensity of the number com
ing to the city is also testified to by**,
train which came in over the Omaha
yesterday at 2:30 p. m. There were
fifteen passenger coaches, all jammed
with passengers as tight as sardines in
a "■*->"-. AU day; , U-n«r yestercday -t.be in
coming trains delivered bunches of
enormous masses of living freight. A
special or a regular train arrived
about every minute, and the capacity
of every train was taxed to its utmost.
After 8 o'clock yesterday morning only
one regular or special train arrived on
schedule time. All were from one to
four hours late. In every Instance the
delay was due to a congestion of
traffic at some point or points along
the line of the roads. The railroads
moved cautiously In order to avoid
either head or rear end collisions or
accidents of any other kind.
One of the most noticeable features
of the influx is tbe large number of
those who do not wear the familiar G.
A. R. button. For every man dressed
in blue there were at least a hundred
civilians; and of the civilians 50 per
cent were of the gentler sex.
A careful investigation of all sources
of information tends to show that thus
far only about 20 per cent of the old
soldiers have arrived. The estimates
and correspondence of the various com
mittees indicate that by 9 o'clock to
night 90 per cent of all the boys in
blue will be on the scene.
Among the arrivals yesterday were:
Farragut Post No. 32, Lansing, Mich.;
Charles Ford, No. 2, Wisconsin; De
Soto, No. 6. Iowa; C. O. Lonnis, No. 2,
Detroit. Mirh.; the largest post In the
state, Westley Green Post, Sleepy Eye,
Minn.; the One Hundred and Eighth
regiment, Winnebago, Minn.; U. S.
Grant, No. 4, Wisconsin; Ohio and New
Jersey departments; Towa Women's
Relief corps; Oliver B. Smith post,
Le Sueur, Minn.; Columbia Post, Chi
cago. This is one of the aristocratic
posts of the United States. The Post
was met at the depot by the Third
United States Infantry band, which
has been engaged by Columbia boys
for the entire week.
Detroit Post No. 384 is another
celebrated post which came in yesterday
afternoon. Every man was dressed in
a black Prince Albert coat, of the
costliest material, black slouch hats,
gloves, boutonnleres and a genuine gold
badge, besides the regulation badge
of the G. A. R. All of them carried
silver-headed canes, notwithstanding
the fact that under the leadership of
Gen. Alger, who is a member of the
post and present in the ranks yester
day, Michigan has declared Its confi
dence in the stability of the yellow
metal. Some 300 members, from va
rious parts of Michigan, arrived with
Detroit Post. •
Among other arrivals were Lake Cry
stal Post, Minn., Wisconsin Women's
Relief corps, James Mason Post No.
106, Wisconsin; Bumside Post, Minne
sota; General Lyon Post No. 2, and
Btate . There were 300 from St. Louis.

The attempt to make out an Imnc-lad
I schedule of incoming special and re
j gular trains has been abandoned on
j account of the enormous passenger
ti attic. Upon being requested to furn
ish such a schedule for publication to
day, Superintendent W. F. McMillan,
of the union depot, last aLgM said:
"The schedule of Incoming trains fur
nished the press yesterday was a hund
red miles out of the way, and any
schedule I might glye you lor publi
cation tomorrow would be just as far
out of the way. We have had to aban- j
don that idea on account of the huge
proportions which the passenger traliie
has assumed. No road calculated upon
so many persons cominß- to St. Paul
the first day. The consequence is that
all trains were unavoidably and Ine
vitably delayed. The managers of the
varrious roads do not propose that any
accidents shall mar the joy of the
occasion, and all are therefore taking
extra precautions, even at the expense
of some time. 4 schedule for to- j
morrow would therefore only be mis- j
leading. If the traffic maintains Its
ratio tomorrow, all estimates and cal
culations of the number of passengers
to be carried will be knocked higher
than a kite."
DILITH CITY HWn
One of the iln n«lr«omel> Ini formed
Yl»!tlnfl- llodlcn.
Of all the uniformed bodies which
came to town yesterday there was none :
which was more favorably commented
upon on its general appearance than
the Duluth City band, which has
already earned the name of being _
thoroughly first class military band- 1
The band, under the leadership of Ernest j
Meier, is uniformed in tasty dark green I
cloth, bound with black braid, and the
absence of any undue amount of mill- '
tary furnishings is noticeable. The !
band marched proudly at the head of
the Zenith City "vets," and everywhere
was received with plaudits. The mem.
hers went to Minneapolis list night to
witness the parade there, bui -ill take
an active part in the exercises to be
held here during the week.

specially pleasing on a.co:int of the
stillness of the night. At M o'clock
taps were sounded, but the dhsclpline

So may ppac-e attend the last years of
