CHICAGO, Sept. President Arthur and
the party that accompanied him to the
Yellowstone park, returned to Chicago this
afternoon, arriving IN the Northwestern
depot at 2 o'clock. Carriages were in
waiting and were Immediately taken by
the distinguished visitors On alighting
from the train. The citizens committee
met them. The first hack was filed
by the president, Hon. Chas.
B. Farwell and j. B. Drake. The remain
ing carriages were occupied by the rest
of tte party and the citizens escort. A line
was formed and headed by flying colors,
platoon of police, and drum corps,
they proceeded without much ado south on
Fifth avenue to Adams, east to Lasalle,
then south to the rear entrance of the
Pacific Cheers arose as the president
alighted and entered. The
dense crowds that thronged
both sides of the line of march, and fol-
lowed the procession were at times de-
monstrative, but hardly as much so as
might have been expected. The central
feature of the whole pageant was, of
course, President Arthur himself, and
though many necks were craned, but few
saw him. He occupied the back seat with
Mr.. FarwelI, and kept his head well in the
corner. When the first carriage passed a
given point remarks to the effect that so,
Chet is not there" were frequently heard,
and with an accent Of disgust and disap
pointment the unsatisfed spectators would
turn away and be lost in the crowd.
President Arthur had a taste
of Chicago life as soon as he left the de
pot. When the platoon of police and
corps had taken few PAGES on the bridge
which spans the poetic stream between
Wells street and Fifth avenue, the omin-
ous tolling of the bell was heard. With
double quick step the bridge was cleared,
but on looking back the boys found that
they we're not followed, for the carriages
had faltered on the break. Ten minutes
lost, the draw swung back and the procesl
sion went on its way.
President Arthur and Secretary Lincoln
attended McVickers theatre this evening,
to witness the play of the 'Hinchback," IN
which Miss Margaret Mather appeared as
Julia. At the close of the second act, Miss
Mather came forward and presented the
president with magnificent boquet. He
arose in his private box, and gracefuley
bowed his Acknowledgements amid contin
ued applause from the audience.

John Roach, the shipbniider, Gives His
Ideas of Matters and Things.
New YoRK, Sept. 4.-The senate sub
committee on labor and education contin-
ued its session to-day. John Roach, the
shipbuilder, testified that he employed
about 300 men, who represented twenty
five different branches. The witness be-
gan to work for twelve shillings a week.
but at that time wages were low. Since
that time the condition of the workingmen
gradually improved and hours OF labor had
been shortened. He thought there was no
reason why every industrious workingman
should not own his own home. He believed
the government was bound to lsgis-
late in the interest of the workingmen.
The pay roll of his business last year was
$1,587, 600, and he had men in his employ
ment who first started with him in bust
ness. Now they owned houses. The wit
ness said labor must cooperate with capi-
tai. 1t would never do for labor to COM
bine by itself and become deadly foo to
capital. The sooner the laboring man was
educated to the standard from which they
could understand the maxim that a man
who cannot make cannot own,
the better it would be for
the lsborer. Over fifty of his men were
employed by him in former years in the
same workshops. Frequently the men In
his employ came to him and said they
wanted to get five or ten pounds to send
to some relative in Ireland, and asked him
to deduct SO much week from their wa
ges. He always obliged them. The wit
ness remarked: "There's millions sent out
