Exposition and taken to the Exposition
the ladies' parlor by President Ken
nard. They were then escorted
to the music hall, and to the third
box on the east side of the hall,
which had been tastefully draped fo r
the occasion. AS the party entered
GilmOre'S band Oh the stage struck up
Hail to the Chief" and the immense.
audience rising cheered the president
again and again. The president re-
mained in bis box for some time listen
ing to musical prOgr anime which in
cluded many national airs. Then he
was escorted out of the hall and through
the aisles of the main floor, the gallery
and the basement of the exposition
building. He then returned to the
hotel whence, after few minutes de-
lay, he was driven to the station. 1t
was shortly after II o'clock when the
presidents train, consisting of an engine
of the big Four" road, and baggage
car, No. 81, and the presidents car
HaSlemere, pulled out Of the union
depot
Over the Great Bridge
on its way to Indianapolis. The presi-
dent and bis party will arrive in Indian
apoliS at about o'clock tomorrow
morning. The president will go to the
residence of X. S. Mckee to breakfast
with his daughter, Mrs. j. R. Mckee,
whose home is there. Secretary Tracy,
Marshall Ransdell and e. R. Bishop, of
the Chesapeake q Ohio railroad, will go
to the DenisOn house to breakfast. Mr..
Halford will go to the home of W. III.
Smith where his wife and daughter are
being entertained and will remain there
fhrOnph
take dinner at the DeniSon with Secre-
tary Tracy, and then he and the secre-
tory Will take drive about the city, re-
turning to the home of MIR. Mckee,
where they will take supper and spend
the evening. l he presidential party
will take possession of the Haslemere at
6 o'clock Monday morning on their way
east over the big Four" The president
is in hourly receipt of kilograms CIV
ing the condition of Justice Miller and
his death is expected at any moment.
Should that sad event happen tonight
or tomorrow, it would probably hasten
the presidents return to Washington.
The programme, however, is to spend
leave for Washington Monday morning,
making brief stops at several Indiana
and Ohio towns. Chicago has impor-
tuned the president more during the
trip than any half-dO7en cities in the
country. Before he left Washington he
gave final answer to the pressing in
vitatiOn OF the Chicagoans by saying
that their schedule was already made
up and he could not in justice to other
Western cities visit Chicago at the time
particularly as he had already visited
it on the occasion of the opening of the
auditorium. The enterpriSing Chica-
goanS refused to
Take No for an Answer
and on Wednesday last another pressing
invitation was extended, this time by
director general of the worlds fair. The
final answer was repeated, but knowing
the value OF perseverance. Chicago did
not despair, but sent Mr.. McDouald as
special messenger to induce the preSi-
dent to-day to alter his decision and
visit Chicago long enough to inspact the
site of the worlds fair. Again the
Louis even say that the president
laughingly asked MIR. Mcdonald if Chi
cago was right sure she had decided
upon site, and if his visit might not be
rendered fruitleSS one by SubseQent
reconsideration of the site questioned
by the directory. Secretary Halford,
however, insists that it was not this re-
Election that caused the president to re-
fuse Chicago's invitation. Certain it is,
however, that he will not visit that city
this trip. The commander of the Sons
of Veterans, Lieut.. Col. E. Raymond,
received Il telegram yesterday from the
commander of this state, Col. h. j.
Kline, of st. Joseph. saying that he
would suspend all officers who partici-
pated in the Harrison reception here.
Col. Kline claims the presidential trip
is political and that, therefore, the Sons
of Veterans cannot participate in it.
Notwithstanding this order, the Sons of
Veterans turned out in force this morn
ing to welcome the president.
