Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-The st. Paul
committee met the distinguished
German guests in an informal
manner and rendered them their good
offers in escorting them to st. Paul, which
was gladly accepted. They also met
Mr.. Willard and enjoyed pleasant con-
versation with him. No public reception
was rendered the guests this evening, but
tomorrow forenoon the st. Paul commit
tee will meet the guests and join them IN
tour of Chicago to the various points of
interest. The whole party will leave by
special train over the G, & N. W. road at
o'clock tomorrow evening.
The st. Paul committee this evening IN
dited the following telegram: IL
To Herman Greve, st. Paul-Our pro-
gramme is arranged as follows: We will
arrive at st. Paul with the distinguished
foreign guests at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. Carriages will be provided to
convey the guests to the Metropolitan
hotel for needed rest until 1 O'Clock in the
afternoon, when dinner will be taken at
Magees. After dinner drive will then be
had to various points of interest about the
city, returning to the cars. We will re-
quest that NO arrangements be made
for Saturday evening nor for Sunday unless
further notice is sent by the committee.
The proposed trip to White Bear lake is
necessarily abandoned, because the guests
a hot fof n xuif
travel. It is suggested that forty rooms
be engaged at the Metropolitan hotel tor
Saturday only.
Hon. Henry Willard, president of the
Northern Pacific railroad, arrived this even
ing and is doniciled at the Palmer house.
He Is accompanied by his wife and Miss
Willard and three other children, his en-
tire family, who, together with five SER
wants are assigned to nine capacious rooms
at the hotel. The railway king is travel
ing in truly regal style. He appears in
excellent health and in his usual good
humor, and received the GLOBE represen
tative with cordially. He felt happy, he
said, at the successful contamination of
his hopes in the great enterprise now per-
management had undertaken a gigantic
task, but for himself he disclaimed
any more credit than was
due his associates and friends who had la
bored necessarily to fulfill every public
promise in connection with the work. The
Northern acifc road was an established
fact, and its experimental stages were
passed. 1t had become a property Of
enormous value and would steadily appre-
ciate. The recent decline of the stock of
the company was caused by the maniPU-
ton of unfriendly interests in Wall street,
but the bears had sold thousands of those
short which they never could deliver, and
their day of reckoning would come, and
| thatsoon. The stock is now held in strong
hands and cannot be shaken out by the
furry in anyfnancial mart of the world.
He was deeply grateful, he added, to st.
Paul and Minneapolis for the grand vel
come which he learned those cities were pre-
pairing for the distinguished guests who
had been invited to participate in the GER
emonies of the formal opening of the road.
He had many kind membranes of these
two cities of the golden northwest, and
every graceful act on the part of their en-
terprising and warm-hearted citizens
seemed more graceful than the last. He
| was anxious, he said, for the time to
arrive when he should have fitting OPP
portunity to give voice to the feelings of
warmest friendship which were aroused
in his breast at this latest evidence of ap-
probation and kindness on the part of St.
Paul and Minneapolis. He shock the
GLOBE reporter warmly by the hand in a
manner which indicated his sincerity in all
| his interviews.
Hon. Carl Schurz was not feeling in any
mood to talk this evening, and remarked
he had really little to say. During his life
in Wisconsin he had become more or less
familiar with the region around about St.
Paul and the Northwest generally, land still
felt as he always had that there was a
great and glorious future before it. He
had gladly accepted President Wizards
| invitation TO be present at the opeuing.
and was happy to add his being with
thousands Of others; that the president OF
the Northern Pacific road deserved IN
-stinted praise for the successful accom-
plishment of his really gigantic task. The
career of Mr.. Willard, he said, had been one
of the wonders of this wonderful country,
and he was GLAD the time had arrived
| when his labors and skill had been sEita-
| bly, cequited.
