THE NIGHT FEATURES.
An Immens Parade Of Floats-Magnifi.
cent Fireworks and Examinations.

CHICAGO, Oct, 9.-The exposition
was transformed into fairyland at
night. Bright lights flashed from
every nook and crevice of the build
ings, search lights cut wide swaths
on the sky, multi-colored rockets
shot heavenward, showers of fire
rained about the grand basin and on
the lake front. Through it all the
floats representing Chicago's pro-
gress were hauled. 1t was the grand
climax of the festal days of the fair.
Never before was there a sight 30 in
spring at the fair. The great white
structures of the exposition stood
outlined against the heavens, and
the whole was superb blaze Of glory.
The floats were marvels of beauty.
The soft blending of the colors ad
ded harmony to the scene Of beauty.
The first was the Genius OF Mu-
Sic" She carried harp, and at her
feet clustered a chorus of fifty, whose
songs rung out on the night air
"Chicago" was represented by the
second float. Miss Elizabeth Flynn
appeared as the typical Chicago fig
ure.s She was costumed handsomely
and across her breast were the ia
miliar words, Il Will" On the
same float were the following repre-
sentative characters: Love- Miss
Floy Strong; Liberty" Miss S.
Cruver; Music" Miss Esther Gritz-
ner; Art" Miss Cad Matthews;
Science Miss Blanche Smithson
Literature" Miss Gertie Owen.
THE FIREWORKS.
The fireworks were the finest yet
given. The magnitude Of this fea-
ture was appalling. Rockets shot
from every corner of the White City
and continual shower of colored
fire fell on every side.
The brilliant feature on the lake
front were "Old Fort Dearborn,
THE Old City Hail." portrait Of
the first mayor of Chicago, William
B. Ogden; "Chicago Welcoming the
World" Chicago triumphant was
the feature in front of the peristyle
The largest piece of the evening
was the Burning of Chicago" which
covered an area of IA, 900 square feet
1t was produced in four scenes
The first illustrated Mrs. O'Leary'i
COW; second, the kicking over the
lamp; the fire starting thence gave
realistic and correct view OF the
burning Of the city closing with the
picture Of Chicago in ruins. In ad
dition to this flights Of bombs, cas-
cades of rockets and every known
variety Of the pyrotechnic art filled
out the evening programme Othe1
features were the special illumina
ton of the wooded leland and fire
works set off from the water sur
rounding it.

Coal VIII Probably Be Free-Iron and
Steel Schedule.

w ASHfKGTDN. Oct. 1u-W 0fh On
the tariff bill by the Democratic
members OF the ways and means
committee continues on the line of
the raising of revenue as the main
object, with protection as the Incl
dent only. That, according to one
of the members, is the direction all
proceedings are taking at present.
There seems to have been consid
cradle talk about enlarging the free
list, as there are many articles now
subject to duty which yield but little
revenue to the government. This
points toward many agricultural
products where competition With
American producers is impossible to
to considerable extent.
1t was supposed, after the state
ments of the governor Of West Vir
GINA before the committee, that
perhaps Chairman Wilson might be
inclined to oppose change in the
schedule, but it is intimated that
coal is very likely to go on the free
list. 1t has been argued that the
West Virginia coal fields are benefit
ed only where the tide can be reached
by rail and that it is small matter
when the entire consumption of coal
is considered, while it is claimed
that the benefit to be derived by free
coal to the New England manufact-
urer is an item of great Importance.
1t has also been claimed that the in
terror coal fields cannot be affected
materially by free coal. There has
been considerable talk over the iron
and steel schedule, and there are in
timations that this is the most diff
cult problem that has yet confronted
the committee and one which is still
quite far from settlement. Mem
bers of the committee have talked
about reduction of duty on pig
and scrap iron from $6.72 to$2 so or
So per ton, with the view that there
would be large revenue derived from
limportations under such reduction,
As to the manufactured products d
iron, there is yet nothing that can be
called an agreement. That there
will be reductions is beyond doubt,
but the fixing of the duties is con
sidered one of the most difficult
matters before the committee. The
iron ore schedule is another stun b.
ling block. The pressure from the
regions along the great lakes is fol
a retention of a considerable duty
The Lake Superior iron miners, who
have a large output, have been urg-
ing their members of congress tc
maintain, if possible, protection o.
iron ore. This part Of the bill has
not been generally discussed by
members of the committee.
Some members Of the committee
say there will be no difficulty In rails.
ing sufficient revenue and that they
need not fear making reductions or
that ground. 1t is intimated that
whisky will stand an increased tar
of Is or 30 cents gallon very easily
and that the tax Of ST barrel on
beer is very light, and especially al
the brewers are expecting a reduc
tion on barley and hops. There are
also limitations of evening up the
duty on sugar so that refined sugar
will have no advantage over raw
sugar. AS means Of raising reve-
nue. some members of the COMMITTEES
say that half or quarter of a
cent might be placed on sugar with
out any i'll effects.

AN AWFUL CRUSH.
Two Persons Killed and Over One Hun

CHICAGO, Oct. GA perfect au.
tumn day, and the largest crowd that
ever congregated at like gatherings
in the worlds history. These are
two Of the elements that helped to
make Chicago day at the Worlds
Fair AN unprecedented success; that
went to make it the biggest day al
the Fair; that made the heart oil
every Chicagoan swell with pride
and filled the souls Of all Illinoisans
and Ill Americans with joy.
The crowd was bigger than tina,
which assembled at the Paris expo
sition on the banner day Of that fair
The crush throughout the grounds
was simply indescribable AROUND
the administration building on thu
grand plaza the people were simply
packed together in one immovabl'
mass. In other portions of thu
grounds it was the same story. Th'
Midway Plaisance presented scene
Of animation unusual even for tina

crowd covering 1000 acres o
ground as compactly almost as if i
had been moulded.
DISCOUNTS PARIS BIG DAY.
Paris on its banner day passed
through the gates Of its exposition
397, $50 people, and the crowd at thu
fair to day was double that number
without a doubt. As is usual or
such occasions rumors were circula
ted of alarming riots and serious &C
cidents during the day. but happily
in spite of the awful jam and terrific
strain put upon railroads and stree
cars, there were but few serious &C
cidents.
Never before has holiday beer
so generally observed in Chicago
Every business house of any conse
quence was closed, and small stores
of all descriptions followed suit.
At the downtown terminals the
crush all morning was appalling. Al
the steamboat landing, the Illinois
Central, land the elevated stations
there was jam the like of which
has never before been seen here
while along the line of the cable car'
the people were packed in black
mass for blocks. At the grounds the
steady stream seemed to increase
rather than diminish towards dark
as thousands of people who had not
thought of going out during the day
were Fastening to the grounds to SEE
the night display.
Never in the history of Chicago
was there such demand ON its
transportation facilities as to-day
The crowd was handled well, but nc
human means, no system of trans
portation, however vast, was capable
of handling the vast crowd without
great difficulty.
