and half miles. Shortly before ten
o'clock the Duke Of Veragus and party
were escorted form the Auditorium hotel
to the carriage in waiting, the appear
ance Of the distinguished descendent of
Columbus being greeted with prolonged
applause.
The procession moved southwark in
the following order: Platoon of mounted
police, troop Of United States cavalry
under the command of Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, troop of Chicago hussRrs in bril-
liant uniform, carriages containing the
Duke of Versgus and suite, members Of
the national commission, state legis
lsture, city council, and other distin-
guished guests.
Moving to the Lexington hotel this
procession was joined by the presidential
party, which included the vice presi-
dent and members Of the cabinet. The
whole procession then moved to the ro-
tunds Of the Administration building in
the Worlds Fair grounds. A great
chorus of voices sang America" Rev,
Milburn offered prayer, and a young
lady recited a poem, "The Prophesy."
Then came the address of Director
General Davis, which was brief and to
the point. The presentation of Presi-
dent Cleveland was the signal for still
another outburst Of cheering, and it was
several minutes before quiet was sufi-
GENTLY restored to enable him to COM
mence his address. He was frequently
interrupted with applause, and when, at
1908, he pressed his finger upon the
electric button, the signal for the start
ing OF the machinery in Machinery
building, the scene was indescribsble.
Men, women and children shouted and
yelled at the top of their voices, the
steam whistles Of the launches on the
lagoon were given full play, hats, hand
kerchiefs, canes and umbrellas were
waved and shaken, and cannon doomed
with terrific effect. At the conclusion OF
the exercises President Cleveland was
escorted to the Manufacturers building
and received the commissioners Of foreign
nations in the American section. He
will leave for Washington tonight.
THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
President Cleveland spoke as follows:
II am here to join my fellow citizens in
the congratulations which befit this oc-
cRsion.
Surrounded by the stupendous re-
suits of American enterprise and activity,
and in view a magnificent evidence Of
American skill and intelligence, we need
not fear these congratulations will be
exaggerated. We stand to-day in the
presence Of the oldest nations of the
world and point to the great achieve
ments We here exhibit, asking no allow
ance on the score Of youth. The enthu.
siasm with which we contemplate our
work, intensifes the warmth Of the
greeting we extend to those who have
come from foreign lands to illustrate

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Secretary Car
isles latest expression to the public on
the financial situation indicated that the
efforts Of the administration would be
devoted to securing the repeal Of the all
YER purchase act. This is the policy to
which Mr.. Cleveland is committed, and
wher his cabinet was appointed he seems
to have been careful to run no risk Of
dissent on the silver question in his Off
cisl family. The law Of 1890 is still
looked upon by the president as the
cause, in large part, Of the exodus of
gold, and the secretary Of the treasury
evidently agrees with him.
There are several strong scraps of evl-
dence that the president believes that
congress will soften in the silver issue,
and, after the gold reserve has been

closely run upon a few times, will con-
sent that the silver purchase act shall be
repealed. This is not likely to be accom-
plished, but the free silver men may
yield something il the president will
yield something. There might be q COM
promise on the old Blsnd-Allison act, but
the unconditional repeal of the silver
purchase law, with no practical recogni-
tion Of silver to take its place, would be
very hard to accomplish.
While the close pressure upon the
gold reserve has led many people to think
that our currency system is threatened
with irregulsrity, it has had the effect of
stimulating radical silver men in their
views. They hold that silver is a legal
and proper coin in which to redeem
notes, and they certainly would not pay
the coin notes Of 1890 in gold. There are
at least two kinds Of silver men. There
are those who believe in the use of both
metals as money and the regulation OF
the quantity Of silver used by the need
for currency and its power to assimilste.
There are those who are in favor OF free
and unlimited coinage Of silver,
These latter people are Indifferent to
the gold reserve They say: "Pay it out,
and when it is all gone, pay with silver"
They look upon the effort to maintain
S100,O00,000 Of gold reserve as an in
suit to silver, and they are impatient
with the proposition to issue bonds to
preserve or restore the reserve at any
stage Of the proceedings. There will be
splendid combat or else much concilia-
tion before the money question is set
tied, unless it settles itself, as it usually
does.
On March 6 last, the comptroller OF
the currency called for reports from all
national banks as to the amount of gold
on hand. AS between New York and
Chicago the reports show the amount Of
gold held to be: New York, Sl2,438652;
Chicago, $14,S24660. Y'his brings out the
important fact that the demands, which
have been made by the New York bank
ers during the recent crises, were largely
in the nature Of "bluffs."
AS between the west and the east, the
former has $54, 100000 of gold in it's ma
tionsl banks, while the east has only $780,
100000.
Here is an interesting statement:
Gold in western cities s............... S27GOI 800
Gold in eastern cities. 22411774
Gold In western states ................ 25541,OO2
Gold In eastern states. tes................. 16708559
Mr.. Eckels' reports show that Chicago
is the first Of five large western cities
which have heavy stocks of gold, while
New York is the first of eight large east
ern cities with large supplies Of gold.
Thus the western cities outrank the
eastern both in number and in amount
Of gold carried.
The western states are also ahead of
the eastern states in their supply of
gold. The reports made to the comp
troller, it should be remembered, do not
cover the supplies Of gold held by private
individuals, private banks or state banks.
The Chicago banks have already ten
dered the use of their gold to the secre-
tary Of the treasury, so the conference Of
Mr.. Carlisle with them is likely TO pro-
duce much more satisfactory results than
that which he had with the New York
bankers.
