THE CHICAGO DEDICATION.

CHICAGO, Oct iS.-Chicago's population
has already increased % per cent, and each
train arriving at the union depot brings
its quota of pieasure-seekers, who come to
witness the dedicatory exercises. The
hotel men are anticipating the greatest
gathering of strangers that has ever as
sembled in the city.
A suggestion has been offered that Sat-
urday be made military day, aud that a
grand military parade be given. This
plan has not yet been thoroughly can
vassed, but there is a probability that an
effort will be made to carry it out. The
state troops that will arrive on Wednes-
day are as follows: Ohio. 1900; Michigan,
800; Iowa, 1000; Wisconsin, 200; Mime.
sofa, GOO; Missouri, 600; total, $500. The
illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin men will be quartered in the transpor-
tation building and annex, and the Indi-
ana, Ohio Iowa and Missouri troops will
be quartered in the agricultural build
ing.
A heavy drizzling rain, which at times
expanded into steady downpour, made
Chicago's holiday attire something the
worse for wear today. Notwithstanding
the discouraging weather the work Of dec
Grating went steadily on.
Mayor Washburne today issued proc
lamAtion declaring Friday u municipal
holiday in honor OF the dedication.
