THIN GRIEF Or CHICAGO.
The CITY Feels Most Keanly Her
Shame and Disgrace.
THE EVE OF HER GREAT TRIUMPH
saddened by the Murder Of Her
Chief Executive-The Verdict
ofthe Coroner 3 Jury-Arrange-
ments for the Funeral-Thou-
sands Express Their Personal
Sorrow and Sympathy.

CmcAeo. October 29.-Chicago today
Is overwhelmed with sorrow and shame.
Her citizens mourn for the man who
stood closer 10 the peoples heart than
apv other who has lived and died within
her boundary lines, or has been in any
way connected with the city's growth
and progress.
The feeling Of shame is that just at
the close Of the greatest aud most glo-
rious period of our municipal history
inst at the dawn Of brighter period
than she has ever before experienced
the dark crime Of murder should have
made q red blot on the record.
It was a thing no man coutd prevent,
a calamity that no human intellect
could forsee; but the crime is done, the
stain is here, and the disgrace Of having
her chief executive shot down is part
Of history now.
The act Of maniac, or at the best,
weak-minded youth, has plunged Chi
cago into grief and mourning just al
the period of her greatest triumph.
From all ranks aud conditions Of men
there comes but one voice and it's that
of grief. II Chicago scared too high,
II her ambitious soul reached out be-
yond those things to which mortal men
may asplre-aud her daring hand was
ever at the edge Of the universe-it has
been temporarily checked. The blow
was heavy and struck Chicago TO the
heart.
Garter Henry Harrison was without
question the most popular man among
the residents Of Chicago. He was the
most widely known aud best beloved Oi
all Chicago's sons.
Political enemies have time and time
again sought TO read the riddle Of bis
popularity; they have sought TO decry
There is touch OF nature beyond
what humanity knows. and it is called
genius. This Carter Harrison had in
his dealings with his fellowmeu.
He drew them 70 him and be held
them to the lass by the force Of his
genial nature, ard the undiscovered
something which all men felt who came
in contact with him.
His eneuies were as bitter as his
friends were warm, but they were the
foes Of bis methods, not the foes Of his
personality.
He had within bis frame more Of the
condensed spirit Of audacity, endurance
and activity that is characteristic Of
Chicago than any other man.
He was nearer the embodiment of the
q. Chicago spirit than any other man.
Tbc people knew this and held him
closer in their embrace than they have
ever held another, and it will be long
before another man usurps the place
that Carter Harrison held in the heart
Of Chicago.
The feeling OF personal sorrow which
all citizens feel is not stronger than the
mortified civic pride which burd ems
them down. Her man Of men, the one
whom she hon0red most. was foully
slain and the great city which has done
so much and which for six months has
been the most prominent place on earth,
was utterly helpless
There may be FOR Chicago days Of
greater pride, Of higher glory than any
she has yet beheld, there can never be
a day Of greater grief, or more poignant
sorrow.

interesting SUBJECTS.
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 90
The customs part VI the tariff bill is In
the hands Of the sub-committees, but no
notice has been submitted TO the full
committee by the majority members.
1t probably will be so submitted dur
ing the week. Work has not been
pushed with quite so much vigor since
it seems possible that the silver bill will
be passed and Congress ad-
journ. Louisiana members were
inclined to think that no mat
ter what had been done with the bill
that so far nothing has been agreed
upon 10 reference 10 sugar. While there
has been considerable talk in the COM
mittee as to the increase OF the tax on
whisky and beer, IT seems not
to have been generally decided
upon. The whole matter OF
an increase In internal taxes
will depend largely upon the estimated
revenues TO be derived from the Gus
toms. During the past week there has
been less talk about an income tax than
before. It's claimed by some mem
bers Of the majority that the
bill when 10 comes TO the
House will meet with great
deal Of opposition and it will be doubt
full policy 70 weight 1t down with any
thing that will cause pronounced oppo-
sition. The majority members OF the
Ways and Means Committee would be
well pleased 70 see Congress adjourn
soon so that they might os allowed to
work on the bill until the regular sey-
sion in December.
The committees Of the House will
hold their regular meeting during the
week, but unless something unexpected
turns up there will be very little OF
public Interest.

New ORLEANS, October 29.-Frank

Annie Howard, the af1lanced bride of
Mayor Harrison, both left the city this
morning. The programme was decided
upon soon after they made their hasty
exit from the French Opera House where
they were attending the performance
when the news was received
here which made them fear for the ef-
feet upon their beloved relative, who
was on visit to the wife Of Carter
