Elaborate Banquets and Early Rising Begin.
ming to Tell OH the South Americans.

CLEVELAND. Oct 16.-Four local tours for
sightseeing had been laid out for to-day,
and Cleveland hospitality had proposed
that each of the All-Americas. excursionists
should select such as should most challenge
his interest. Cleveland was early astir to
do its part, this morning. but two elaborate
banQuets. lasting until 2 A. NJ, upon sue
cessive nights. had greatly wearied the
guests, and the majority did not appear un-
til after 10 o'clock this morning. Already
the police force had paraded before the ho-
tel where the delegates stop. only q few
early-to-beds having risen at $50 A. NJ,
when the band began to play. and the fire

had few foreign admirers of its excellence.
The foreigners were mostly yet asleep.
Between 10 and IL, however, the visitors
embarked in carriages, and in varying di-
recrions went to inspect Cleveland's busi-
ness interests
The subject of late retiring and early
rising is becoming live Issue among the

hospitality. The Southern delegates were
left at Buffalo yesterday morning. They
were called at o'clock and several times
thereafter, but definitely refused to rise
until they had secured rest The train left
without them and they rejoined the party
this morning. There are some who feel
that if they sustain the wear of the hurry

After returning from the various tours Of
the city, hotel lunch vas had at o'clock.
after which drive was begun in the resi-
dence portion, aud to the lake views.
Euclid avenue was compared by many OF
the foreigners with the Cambridge drive
near Boston, and with Delaware avenue in
| Buffalo, which until arrival here has been
| the finest residence districts visited by the
| tourists. During the afternoon drive,
| Garfield memorial monument was visited,
| as were several of the most .pretentious
| honses on Euclid avenue. previous to the
public reception at the hotel. During the
evening a deputati0n of school children
called and presented the party with choice
| boutonnaires for use upon the occasion. AT
| II o'clock the party on board the train
| started away for Detroit.
| William +. Curtis, the manager of the ex.
cursion. has telegrapbed to the points yet
| to be visited by the members of the inter
national congress requesting the reception
committees to abandon that part Of THEN
| programmes which provides for banquets
| in mercy to the exhausted delegates. He
has also stated 70 the committees that the
] visitors do not care to factories. OF
which they have had surfeit. The plans
for tomorrow in Detroit have been changed
to correspond to Mr.. Curtis's views and
according to the present arrangement, the
| party will. upon its arrival there, be taker
| aboard steam yachts and given an .Oppor
| tunity to view the shipping in the river
| Then will follow luncheon at the resi-
dence of Hon. James Mcmillan. after which
| the party will go to Ann Arbor. An effOr1
| was made to-day TO change the programme
| so as to take the excursiOnists from Cleve
| land to Detroit by steamboat tonight. but
it was deemed best that they should con
| tinue their journey in the Pennsylvania
railroad train, which has been found 81
| comfortable.
