grand commanderles from all sections or
the country have sent delegations here to
there has been no dificulty in securing
desirable accommodations on terms entirely salts
factory All our hotels seem to appreciate the i'm
portance or fair play and liberal rates. In an In
terVlew nearly year ago stated that our hotels
would not ask more than their regular rates, and
that no condition as TO time would be required l
am glad 10 say that results have verified that
Statement lnueed In many instances contracts
nave Deen at prices below the regular rates. OF
course, the city Will be taxed to Its Utmost
capacity In providing for the thousands that Will
De mere but the triennial committee want to
emphasize the fact that all VINO desire to come
Will be satisfactorily cared for.
One feature VIII De tue large representation that
VIII oe nero from the Eastern states From our
geographical location we shall expect nearly all
Inc leinplarS OF The SouLn. The great West,
Northwest, and Southwest have already given
evidence or their intentions. General RuO.ue the
most eminent grand master, told me In New York
last week that he had no doubt but that 1t would
De tne most imposing iempar gathering ever wit
show many do you estimate will be here?" asked
the reporter. "We expect TO have % OOO knignis
lenpiars 10 uniform and IN Line on the day OF Inc
grand parade, Was the reply. "Of course this Will
oe Out traction OF Tue numoer that will be here.
IN Snicago In 1880, careful estimate made by the
railroad officials fixed the NUMBER OF strangers in
this city at two hundred and forty thousand.
Everything points TO q larger gathering here In
1883 The results OF this conclave VIA be OF ines
tiinaDle value 10 our city and those who come.
Every American should visit the capital vi his
country. Those VINO come Will be impressed wiih
| nave klndied new Inspirations OF national pride
and PATRIOTISM" "a large amount or money win
De required TO entertain 50 many" continued Ar.
Pai kef; DuL our people are liberal and contribute
freely when the Importance or the occasion JuSLl
fies them In SO doing. The Lriennial cOnclave VI
1880 cost the citizens of chicago $9 900 but Right
I'm. sir Norman L. Gassetle, VIM Wa, chairman
OF Lne triennlal committee, Tells me This amOuuJ
Was easily raised. The Palmer House gave $25OO;
Grand Pacific, $l5OO; other hotels with capacity
apeut equal to our leading hotels, gave $l,UOU.
Earn OF The trunklIne railroads leading 1ulO Chi
cag0 gave $1,000. While many OF the officials OF
The roIds made perso1al subscriptions. Street-car
lines, citizens aud corporations gave no raliy the
knights Iempiar giving upward Of $3O,OUO. II Is
estimated that one OF tue Results OF Tue Chicago
trieAnial was the leaving In the city VI over
$2,OOO,OOO. We are not wi.iLg TO admit that our
people are not liberal and philosophical The
people OF Chicago. Eminent Sir Knight James E.
Waugh, CHAIRMAN VI the nnance committee, has
every confidence IN the ability OF mis- committee TO
provide the Necessary funds. In Washington we
nave about 800 Knight Ietapara. We expect they
VIII contribute $4,000. Already Columbia and
Potomac commando mes have piedked their pro
rat snare or this amount"
"lidS any program OF entertainment been
pgepared?" asked The listener.
"IhaL is u matter the trieunial committee have
moi taken up YET" WAS the reply. "fne character
and magnitude Oh our entertainment VIII depend
Largely upon the volume VI our resources. our
hospitality may not De as broad a. a river, nor
as deep as we'll, but IL Will De enough. Up TO
thus tl,le the neclings OF the grand eu1ampnient
