Of Mrs. Harrison is unchanged to-day.
1t is said at the White House that Mrs.
Harrison passed fairly comfortable
night, and this morning is stronger,

rison at noon. He said although she was
better this afternoon, she nevertheless
was steadily losing ground. She dis
PLAYED q great deal of vitality, and was
not so exhausted as the public seemed to
think. He thought she might linger a
month, unless some Unforeseen compli-
cation arose.
The general condition of Mrs. Harri-
son this afternoon was more gratifying
to the Presidential household than for
several days PAST, and the day closed
without any incident to increase the sad
feelings OF the family circle. The Invalid
experienced a partial reaction this even
ing from the depressed and enervating
condition OF the past week and was a
trifle stronger.

to snub Mr.. Blaine at White Plains:
Being called upon the speak without
preparation, omitted to make reference
to the manly and patriotic manner in
which Blaine stood by me throughout all
the attacks made upon me in connection
with the Chilean affair. One of the great
est compensations for the difficult time
was the fact that my entire course was so
cordially approved by Blaine, as we'll as

WORLDS FAIR.

People Disappointed at Route of Pro
cession for the Dedication Event.
CHICAGO, Oct. ia glamorous ex-
preston Of disappointment was raised to-
day over the official announcement that
the great military parade at the Worlds
Fair dedication would be confined to the
outskirts Of the city, consisting only of
short march from Washington Park to
the Worlds Fair grounds. While the
managers of the parade declare there
never was any intention of parading the
downtown streets, no doubt such an idea
was generally entertained, and the consen-
sus OfopiDion this afternoon was that those
responsible for the arrangements made a
grave mistake, which could hardly fail to
lead to widespread criticism and ill-feel-
ing.
The United States infantry, cavalry and
marines, to the number of 200, went
into camp at the Worlds Fair grounds
to-day. A larger body of troops will ar
rive tomorrow and Wednesday. The
advance guards of the militia of the
different States are on the ground also,
making arrangements for the reception
of their regiments, many of which will
arrive tomorrow.
Members Of the National Commission
and Board of Lady Managers, as well as
~
seers, are pouring into town as they have
never done before. Great activity was
displayed by merchants to-day decorat-
ing their buildings, preparatory to the
dedication.
CLEVELAND WILL NOT BE THERE.
Grover Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland and
baby Ruth will not come to Chicago after
all. Secretary Culp OF the Committee on
Ceremonies to-day received the following
letter from Mr. Clavalan1-
My response to your courteous invi-
tation to attend the dedication cere-
monies of the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position is long delayed. I should be
very glad to be present on the interesting
occasion, and thus show my apprecia-
ton of its importance if | could do so
solely as eX-President of the United
States. | am sure, however, that this is
impossible, and am unwilling to under
take trip, which from beginning TO end,
despite all efforts on my part, would be
regarded as political tour made by can
didate for the Presidency. My general
aversion to such trip is Overwhelmingly
Increased in this instance when 1 recall
the atilictive dispensation which detains
at the bedside OF q sick wife another can
didate for the Presidency.
Il have thus frankly stated the reasons
which constrain me to forego the satisfac-
ton which the acceptance of your invita-

thetic sentiment. which ought to be felt

tions will be deemed an abundant justi-
