Chicago Tribune. 18th.

Chicago Tribune, It'll.
The Marquis of Lorne. the Princess
Louise, and their suite, left the city at
noon yesterday, over the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad. The train
consisted OF the elegant dining car
Isaac Walton" which viii accompany
the party on their trip to San Francisco
and return, and two magnificent sleepers.
the "Kewaydin" and the "Inter-Colo-
NAL. The trip was inaugurated sue
cessfully, with every accommodation
which could be secured. As the train
drew out, the Governor and the Princess
stood upon the rear platform, waving
their adieus to the crowd gathered
at the depot. The morning was
spent in preparation, with the exception
or a brief half hour, when the MARQUIS
and a few others were driven to the
Board of Trade, and the Scotch mem
bers and some of the Englishmen
gathered around him, and formed quite
a procession, marching up to the north
west corner of the room. There he stood
IN conference for some time with the
President OF the board. The impression
was that he was being pressed to talk to
the boys from the rostrum, and didn't
feel like doing it. He yielded, however,
and walked up, and was received with
loud cheering. After the crowd had
been called to order, President Durham
said:
"GENTLEMEN-A distinguished gentle
man and officer of the Canadian Gov
eminent is here, passing through our
city to visit the western part of the
United States. The institutions, the
financial and commercial interests be-
tween the United States and Canada en-
courage us to receive him as one of the
distinguished citizens and the head of
the Canadian Government. | have the
pleasure to introduce to you his Excel
lency, the Marquis OF Lorne, Governor
General of Canada.
The Marquis was greeted with cheers,
and the members seemed unusually at
tentive. They listened patiently during
his brief speech, and appeared to be very
favorably impressed with his appear
ance. He said:
''GENTLEMEN-I little expected in
making this call to have the honor of ad-
dressing few sentences to you. But am
happy, on the invitation, to express my
appreciation of your kindness and the
cordially of your welcome. 1t speaks
much for your kind feeling towards the
country | represent, and respect for the
Queen who is represented IN Canada by
me, that you should for moment have
consented to lay aside your business in
order to welcome a stranger. am al
most glad that we have no railway
through British Columbia, as, in the alb
sence of that railway, / have had very
pleasant visit to this city. that account
ing for my presence in Chicago.
''But must not detain you. You are
business men, and business speeches are
best when,they are shortest. Gentlemen,
l most cordially thank you for the recep-
ton you have given me. beg to take
my leave" Cheers.
After getting some ideas as to the
manner of doing business and the mag
nitude of the daily transactions, and
watching the boys trading, the Marquis
and his party left the room.
While in the city the Princess Louise
managed to lose pet dog of which she
had become very fond. All efforts to
find it were unavailing, and the party
were obliged to leave without the canine

cess engraved thereon. Some little aux
iety was betrayed lest some of O'Dono-
van Rossas adherents had made way
with this appanage of royalty through
the medium of dynamite or some infer
nal machine, but nevertheless the Princess
left instructions at the Palmer House to
have the beast advertised, and all val
liable clews as TO its whereabouts will
be thankfully received by the clerks at
that hotel.
