The Lake City Fast Filling Up
With Visitors.
CELEBRATION lNAUGURATEO TO-DAY


Governors Expected at the Exercises
Programme for the Dedication OF New
YorlS's Building--Decorations Spoiled
by Rain--start of the Washington Party,
CHICAGO, Oct. 19. 9.-Chicago's popula-
ton has already increased % per cent.
and each train arriving brings its quota
of pleasure seekers, who come to witness
the dedicatory exercises. Hotel men an
ticipate the greatest gathering of
strangers that has ever assembled in the
city.
The arrival of the Massachusetts, dele
cation was a big event. OF course all
the residents of the old commonwealth
have not invaded Chicago but it sent a
splendid representation, headed by Gov
Russell and the officers of the State. Be-
sides this big delegation, there were sew
eral others of striking proportions. The
size of Gov Russelps party is only an av-
erage following for each Of the Govern
ors, more than thirty of whom will arrive
before night
Notwithstanding the great crush, there
will be no discomfort. The hotel men
are confident of their ability to care for
ali visitors who may come, and at reason
able rates, too, all reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding
There is no truth in the repeated
statement that there will be dearth of
carriages and cabs, and that in conse-
quence eXorbitant prices will prevail.
In regard to the many complaints that
have poured into army headquarters as
J. H
that the infantry will not participate in
the down town parade, but will only
meet the procession mile from Jackson
park, a suggestion is made that Satur-
day be military day, and that a grand
military parade be given. The plan has
not yet been thoroughly canvassed, but
there is a probability an effort will be
made to carry it out.
The State troops to arrive to-day are:
Ohio, 1000; Michigan, 50O Iowa, 1000;
Indiana, 1000; Wisconsin, 1900; Mime
sofa, 1000; Missouri, 600.
The Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota. and
Wisconsin regiments will be quartered
in the transportation Building and an
mex, and the Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and
Missouri troops in the Agricultural Build
ing.
In the decorations compliments are
| paid to all the nations of the earth and to
some lands that once were nations and
| have a notion of being nations again, but
| the stars and stripes are everywhere in
the place of honor.
! Chicago looked to-day like brand new
| town. The transformation from the Sun
| day was extraordinary. Business houses
that on Sunday looked dull and gloomy
are turned as if by magic into bright
beauty spots resplendant with rainbow
coloring.
Everything is ready at the hotels for
the reception of the distinguished
guests who are arriving on every train
| The Turkish Comm sioners, Haaki Bey
and Fahri Bey, with Hon. Arthur Rem
nick, the Executive Commissioner from
| Australia, have arrived. They are quar-
tered at the Auditorium. Gov. II. H.
Markham and staff have arrived from
San Francisco.
Fifty Esquimaux reached Chicago
last night. They have twenty Esqui-
| maux dogs, a number of sealskin kyacks,
a komatik, or sled; a sealsl1in tent, sew
eral barrels of seal oil and blubber, a lot
of green skins to be made into graments,
dried deer and seal meat, and a lot of
walrus and fish bones to be manufactured
| into trnkets
|
| EsquimauX were taken to the Fair
grounds, where they will establish a ma
tive village and take up their abode until
the close of the Exposition.
Apparently the elements are going to
frown on Chicago's celebration. After
six weeks of dry weather there was a de-
cided change at midnight with a heavy
rain.
To-day the sky is full of black clouds,
and the drizzling rain has done havoc to
the decorations. ps2
