Chicago, Oct. enthusiasm, which seemed to kindle into life with the lighting of the electric decorations and the flinging to the breeze of a thousand flags in the down-town district, now runs high in the city, and there is on every street near the center of the city a jostling crowd such as Chicago has seldom seen since the memorable days of 1893. All through the morning distinguished guests have been arriving at the various depots and the sub-committees of the reception ominmittee were kept busy caring for them and for the visitors already on the ground. General Shafter camel Sunday morning.

The bicycle parade Monday night had been planned to be the spectacular event of the jubilee week and it was estimated that 12,000 wheelmen and wheelwomen would be in line by 7:30 o'clock, ready to start from. Michigan and Jackson boulevards for a run under the incandescent festoons of State street and over the down-town thoroughfares, but the rain, which came on during the morning, forced a postponement until Thursday. Chicago Gaily Decorated. Never before in the history of Chicago have the city's strets presented so magnificent an attire as they do today. Never before were there decorations for any event so calculated to arouse enthusiasm as those which have been made as a tribute to the brave heroes who have come victorious from the battlefield.

Thousands and thousands of yards of flags and bunting adorn the buildings of city, miles of electric lights: are strung. across the streets and the entire down-town district is a grand mass of color and brilliancy. The decorations are not confined to the business district. In sections far are from adorned the center with of flags, festivities windows houses are filled with heroes' pictures and patriotism' is displayed on every side. Lake avenue, in neighborhood of the McWilliams home, where President McKinley.

is stopping, is a profusion of flags. Mingled with turning follage along the street the bright coloring makes a beautiful picture. Other streets outside the business district also have pretty decorations. In fact, the entire city is in gala attire for the peace jubilee, and Chicago is proud of the appearance of her thoroughfares on this occasion. President at the Auditorium.

The jubilee spirit found its first expression at the Auditorium Sunday nght, where thousands cheered at every excuse offered by the impressive thanksgiving services, thrice rising to salute President McKinley as he sat in his box. The same scenes were enacted, though without the inspiring presence of the chief executive, at Studebaker's hall and at the First Methodist church. Both of these halls were filled before the pushing multitudes outside the main meeting had given up hope of getting inside to the president" and a fourth building could easily have been filled from the overflow. The Rev. Dr.

H. W. Thomas presided at the Auditorium, and the speakers, who represented Jews, Catholics, Protestants and the colored race, were Dr. E. G.

Hirsh, the Rev. Father Thomas P. Hodnett, the Rev. Dr. J.

H. Barrows, and Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskogee institute. The music, which was directed by Henry B. Roney, was a feature of this and other gatherings.

General Miles Gets to the City. Major General Nelson A. Miles, in a travel-stained suit and the same slouch hat which carried him through Cuba and Porto Rico and distinguished him from others on the presidential train while trailing about the bountiful west. arrived Monday morning from Rock Island, where he has been looking into the efficiency of the arsenal at that place. The hotels are filling up from basement to garret.

The clerk of the Grand Pacific declared that not since the World's fair had he seen such a crowd of out-of-town folk as is now pouring into the city. Major General William R. Shafter, U. S. is registered at the Lexington hotel, but 1 in.

answer to the many inquiries for the general the clerk has but one story, which he tells in a monotonous way and which runs like this: "General Shafter is not here today. He went to Sycamore yesterday to visit his brother. He will return tonight." In general's party, which remained at the hotel, is Major R. H. Noble, Captain Stewart Brice and Dr.

George Goodfellow. After the banquet Wednesday General Shafter and his party will go to Lima, 0., the native town of Captain Brice, where a jubilee celebration will be held. President Made Doctor of Laws. President McKinley has again had conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. The cermony took.

place at the University of Chicago Monday afternoon. The president put in a quiet morning. At noon he took luncheon with President William R. Harper of the university, and after that had the degree conferred upon him. As soon as this was over he started for the First regiment rarmory, and, held a public reception for the rest the afternoon.

A feature of President McKinley's visit in Chicago is the great solicitude for his safety and the elaborate police arrangements made by somebody to protect him and hedge about his every move. The president does not share in any plans for his safety, and the precautions taken here are in marked contrast with his trip to and from Omaha and while at the exposition. He goes about Washington without guard of any kind, and at the White House has done away with much of the police protection his predecessor in office. felt it necessary to maintain.

"This is not the same kind of work; there are no guards and no guns." Mr. Squairs addressed the negroes. He told them he already had 125 negroes from Alabama working for him.

He said the camp was a good one and all that was required of a man was an honest day's 8 work. A committee of the colored men went across the river to investigate. It is probable that they will all go to work. Troops to Leave Virden. Springfield, of Oct.
