Completed.
CHICAGO, April 29.-The day has been
chill and dreary In the worlds fair city.
but it has not been bleak enough to chill
Ihe generous welcome that the people of
Chicago extended to President Cleveland,
the Duke do Veragua, the iineal descend
snt OF the great Columbus. Despite the
northwest winds that swept through the
streets. laden at times with binding
rain, thousands people assembled at the
various points OF interest TO do homage TO
the distinguished arrivals of the day.
But an hour or two separated the time of
reception of the duke and Presi-
dent Cleveland, and each was given
a series of ovations at every
point he visited throughout the day. The
president sought all the seclusion posi-
bic and departed from the program by
taking hurried visit with his cabinet to
the worlds fair grounds, instead of re-
viewing the parade that had been ar
ranged in honor of the distinguished visi-
tors Of the day. The duke from the time
of his arrival. placed himself entirely at
the disposal OF his hosts, and was the re-
cipient of great attention all day, respond
ing invariably with the uniform courtesy
and infallisble grace that distinguishes
the mobiles of the Castilian race.
The President VIII Rest.
The president and his cabinet seem in
clined 10 reserve their forces for the ordeal
which Monday must inevitably bring,
while the duke seemed anxious to repay
the hospitality of bis hosts by responding
to every suggestion made for his enter
tainmezt. When the day closed
the visitors as we'll as the
reception committees must have been
heavy with fatigue, but Sunday will give
all an opportunity to recuperate for the
opening exercises of the LIST of May.
Equally impressive among the events of
the day were the ceremonies attending
the installation OF the historic old
Liberty bell Of Philadelphia in
the tower Of the Pennsylvania building
at the worlds fair Thousands of people
Witnessed the ceremonies as the huge bell
was placed in the rOtunda under the big
tower, which is an exact reproduction of
that historical old tower of independence
hall at Philadelphia. where the bell toled
out the declaration OF independence and
defiance liz years ago.
At the Hotel.
On reaching the Lexington hotel, the
president wrote his name upon the hotel
register. as did Secretary Gresham, Car
Isle, and that OF Mrs. Carlisle.
Then the clerk entered the
names of Secretary and Mics Herbert,
Hoke Smith and Secretary Morton and
son. The officials went directly TO lunch,
Mr.. Cleveland taking Mrs. Carlisle in
upon his arm. Leaving the ladies
Immediately after lunch the presi-
dent and those of his colleagues
named donned their wraps and
led by Mr.. Higginbotham and other
worlds fair officials. they descended by a
private stairway and entered carriages so
quickly that not fifty persons saw them or
knew of their going. The drivers hurried
their teams away, turning down Michigan
ave-, toward the fair grounds. The
president desired to go about the fair
grounds and see the fair building quietly
and only as an individual so far as that
might be possible. He would not do so
SUNDAY, and on Monday or thereafter he
would be quite unable To go about with
cut an embsrrassingly large attendance.
Hence it was that those III the Liberty
bell procession we're disappointed in their
expectation of a review by the president.
This evening President Cleveland and
Secretaries Carlisle, Herbert and Morton
attended theater as guests of President
Higginbotham, viewing at the Auditorium
"Americs," a historical allegory depicting
the principal events in American history
since Columbus first conception of his
voyage IN search of a new passage west
ward TO the Indies. Secretary Gresham
was not with the party having accepted
an invitation to dine with friends in the
city.
