Chicago, Oct. ls.-A heavy drizze which at
times expanded into steady downpour made
Chicagos holiday dress look rather the worse for
wear to-day. Notwithstanding the discourage
ments Of the rain and strong north wind, the
work of decorating went swiftly and steadily on.
Visitors all day long poured into the city by tens
of thousands, and included all sorts and condi-
tons of people. Militia officers TO be seen on
almost every corner while most Of the regulars
are encamped in jackson Park.
Vice-President Levi 2. Morton and his party
and eX-President Hayes and his party arrived In
Chicago this morning. The trip from New-fork
took about twenty-three hours So large crowd
was present at the Van Buren-st. station that 1t
required the efforts Of several special police 70
keep eager spectators from crowding the VISITORS.
At Twenty -sccond-st. President Hislnootham, OF
the Worlds Fair, boarded the train. Soon after
the arrival of the train at the station eX-fresi-
dent Hayes, accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Fannie Hayes, stepped from his car, ana WAS
welcomed by ex-Congressman George Adams Cen
era Newberry and several newspaper men, The
ex-Presilent and Miss Hayes were escorted to
their apartments at the Grand Pacific Hotel
Vice-President Morton was accompanied by Mrs.
Redmond and Miss Morton, and his private secrc-
tary. H. n. Higinbotham escorted the party 10
carriages, in which they drove to Mr.. lilgln-
botham's home, where the Vicc-President will
remain during his stay in this city.
Governor Burleigh and party, from Maine, ar
rived here on the Grand Trunk this morning, ana
were at once driven TO the Victoria and yelling
ton hotels Many former residents OF Maine were
at the station to greet them. The Governor Is
accompanied by his staff Executive Council ana
several other persons. large delegation from
Massachusetts,. headed by Governor Russell, also
reached here to-day. Besides this big delegation
there were several others Of striking proportions
Governor Russclrs party is no larger than are the
escorts Of most of the Governors more than thirty
of whom will arrive hca before tomorrow night
Governor John d. Routt of Colorado and his
STAFF. were among the days arrivals, The Gov
ernor Immediately established headquarters in
the Grand Pacific. Governor Markham, OF Cali
fornia. and his staff are also in the city.
The United States Marine Corps and the Indian
bows from the Carlisle school who are to take
mart in the dedication ceremonies arrived In town
this morning by the Fort Wayne road They had
o special train, which was run as the second sec
ton of the Fort Wayne limited On arrival nj
Grand Crossing their train was switched to the
Illinois Central tracks and transferred direct to
the Exposition grounds.
Notwithstanding the great crush there will be
no discomfort The hotel men are confident of
their ability to care for all visitors who Will come
and they ASSERT that rates will be reasonable, all
reports TO the contrary Notwithstanding lhefe
Is no ruth in the repeated statement that 'here
will be O dearth of carriages and cabs and that
in consequence exofbitant prices will prevail.
In regard to the many complaints that have
poured into Army headquarters az to the decision
arrived at by General Miles that the infantry Will
not partlcipate in the downtown parade but will
meet the procession a mile from Jackson Park,
the General has this to say The dedication cere-
monies proper are the principal feature for Friday.
1t seems almost an insult to the high Government
officials who will be here-the NcePrcsidcnt,
justices of the Supreme Court, diplomatic corps,
Senators. Representatives, Governors and lady
manacers-to say that the people Of Chicago care
nothing for seeing them In this procession there
will be more high Government officials than were
ever convoked before for any purpose. 1t is a
physical impossibility to bring the infantry into
this parade for its whole length. To do 80 1t
would be necessary for the men 10 march nine
miles up town and nine miles back again-a full
DAYS work. But the parade will not be without
military escort at any point The cavalry and ar
tillery will come down to the Auditorium receive
th, procession and escort it for six miles Then the
infantry will take up the escort for the raet OF the
3stance TO jackson Park. II the weather Is hne'
the mounted stats Of the various Governors VIII
be in full uniform Besides the mounted escorts,

batteries of artillery. There will be evolutons of
the troops in the field at Washington Park Oh
Wednesday and Saturday, which many OF the
nnbljc az care 10 attend can II was never
intended TO make this great military celebration.
Next year when there l00,0 900 troops here, the
neople Of Chicago will see military spectacle that
is worth while.
A suggestion is made, however, that Saturday
be made Military Day." and that grand mill
,ary parade be gwen. This plan has not yet
been thoroughly canvassed. but there is prob
ability That an effort will be made to carry it
out.
