city to see and consult the MEM

Committee, and told them that
he considered the State as certain to go

THE GRAND TRieNNlAL lhAUGURA.
TED YESTERDAY.
Chicago Gorgeously Decorated in Honor
Of Her visitors-The Immense Crowd
Prssent-Preparing for To'day's
Great Demonstration.
A SUMMARY OF YESTERDAYS D0lNGs'

Probably more strangers are present in
Chicago this morning than have ever
been gathered within her gates on any
previous occasion. Not even when the
North vest turned out to welcome Gen.
eral Grant, or when the fiercely warning
factions Of the Republican party assem-
bled to nominate . Presidential candi-
dates, and crowds flocked from all parts
OF the country to witness the great
Olympian game OF American politics,
were 80 many people gathered together
in the "Village by the Lake"
Every hotel and boarding house is
crammed and jammed with visitors, and
many private residences have thrown
open their doors to the public, while in
Lake View Park thousands are camping
out in tents furnished by the genera
government and the State OF Illinois.
1t is not at all extravagant to say that
fully 800, 900 strangers and 100000 resi-
dents OF the city will witness the mag
nificent demonstration OF to day, and
from present indications no less than
$4,000 Sir Knights will be in line. The
decorations and iluminations are on q
scale Of grandeur never before ap.
preached in the West, and, taken all to.
gether, the occasion is one which will be-
remembered for life by all who are so
fortunate as to be present.

In q few days an heir is expected Of

paper which was published in the CD
SITE and announced in the Cortes,
tho publication being accompanied
by public receptions and festivities,
parades, a Te Deum az the Church OF the
Atocha, and an amnesty for all press OF
lenses. Last month there was very
bitter squabble over the place OF her
majesty's confinement. The young
Austrian doctor who accompanied her TO
Madrid and alone Of her suite remained,
insisted as soon as the Cortes had at.
journed that the court should 20 to the
palace OF La GraDja and remain there

Madrid surgeons, however, VINO have

danger nor discomfort were her ac-
couchement to take place at the capital,
and the court. therefore returned to
Madrid on the 5th inst. A suit OF five
large rooms connected with the Queens
apartments has been prepared for the
reception OF the heir to the throne, and
all is really for the arrival II the little
stranger.
