 CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-ChIcago's popula- tion has already increased 25 per cent, and each train arriving brings it's 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 gation 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 sev- eral others of striking proportions The size of Gov. Russell's party is only an av- craze 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 all visitors who may come, and at reason able rates, too, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
 4HeFo IS no JrUIn III Uu0 repeated statement that there will be dearth of carriages and cabs, and that in conse- quence exorbitant prices will prevail.
 Iu regard to the many complaints that have poured into army headquarters as to the decision arrived at by Gen. Miles that the infantry will not participate in the down town parade, but will only meet the procession a mile from Jackson park, a suggestion is made that Satur- I ho HNNilf lnrr AEnk ,.1 military parade be given. The plan has not yet been thoroughly canvassed, but there is probability an effort will be made to carry it out.
 Tue State troops to arrive to-day are: Ohio 2, O00; Michigan, 800; Iowa, 1,200; Indiana, 1000; Wisconsin, 1900; Minne- sota, 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
 
 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 Commissioners, Haaki Boy and Fahri Bey, with Hon. Arthur Rem nick, the Executive Commissioner from Australia, have arrived. They are quar- tered at the Auditorium. Gov. H. H. Markham and staff have arrived from San Francisco.
 Fifty-seven Esquimaux reached Chicago last night. They have twenty Esqui- maux dogs, a number of sealskin kyacks, komatik or sled; sealskin tent, sev- eral barrels of seal oil and blubber lot of green skins to be made into garments, dried deer and seal meat, and 8 lot of walrus and fish bones to be manufactured into trinkets.
 Soon after the arrival of the train the Esquimaux were taken to tho Fair grounds, where they will establish na- tive village and take up their abode until the close of the Exposition. Apparently the clements are going to frown on Chicago's celebration. After six weeks of dry weather there was 8 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. is Gov. Burleigh and party from Maine | arrived on the Grand Trunk this morn ing and were at once driven to the Vic toria and Wellington hotels. Many former residents of Maine were at the depot to greet the distinguished party. The Governor is accompanied | by his staff, executive council and many others.
