of departments. Referring to the ex-
pendlture entaiied by the various
governments he said the government
had appropriated about $5,O00,t 90, the
various States sum in excess Of &c.
900, 900, and the foreign nations another
Sc, 100000 Chicago and It's citizens
besides contributing 100000 fur
nished loan Of $4,000 more. The
total expenditures on account of the
Fair exceed 500, 900, 900. He expressed
his obligation to the thousands of ex-
hibitors and to the women of the land,
and, closing, expressed the hope that
the Exposition may inaugurate new
era of normal and material progress
and fervent aspiration that the asso-
citation Of the nations here may secure
not only warmer and stronger friend
ships, but lasting peace throughout the
world.
1t was now the turn Of the President
Of the United States to present himself,
and as he slowly arose from his seat
and swept his eyes first over the occu-
pants OF the platform and then over
one Of the greatest audiences that ever
man faced there went up cheer that

activity Of the people and their evident
delight as the day approached, in the
settled purpose of every citizen of Chi
cago to make the occasion one of APP
propriate significance and personal
pride, was contained the promise of a
day as unprecedented in its interest
and pleasure as it will be in it's in
fluence upon the future development Of
the world.
Beginning with Friday great events
followed each other in rapid succession.
1t was eminently fitting that the arrival
of the old liberty bell, that in truth
rang out the old, rang in the new"
when the Union was born, should be
first to receive the honors OF the time.
Friday evening arrived the relic OF that

accomplishments of young nation and pre-
sent the triumphs Of a vigorous self-reliant
and independent people. We have built these
splendid editlces, but We have also built the
magnificent fabric Of popular government

have also made men who rule themselves. 1t

AS the President was concluding the
final sentence his eyes wandered to the
table that was close at his left hand.
Upon this was the button the pressure
upon which was to start the machinery
and make the opening Of the Exposition
an accomplished fact. 1t was an or
binary form of Victor telegraph key,
such as is in use in most telegraph Of
fees, except that it was Of gold instead
OF steel, and button of ivory in
stead OF bone. 1t rested upon a pedes-
tai upholstered in navy blue and golden
yellow plush and on the sides Of the
lower tier in silver letters, were the sig
nificant dates 1892 and 1898. AS the
last words fell from the Presidents lips
he pressed his finger upon the button.
This was the signal for demonstration
"a series of demonstrations, in fact
difficult of imagination and infinitely
more so of description. At one and the
same instant the audience burst into q
laundering shout, the orchestra pealed
forth the strains Of the Halleluiah
chorus, tho wheels Of the great Allis
engine in Machinery Hall commenced
to revolve, the electric fountains
in the lagoon threw their torrents
toward the sky, q flood of water
gushed forth from the MacMonnies
fountain and rolled back again in the
basin, the thunder of artillery came
from the vessels in the lake, the chimes
in Manufactures Hall and on the Ger
man Building rang out merry peal,
and overhead the flags at the tops of
the poles in front of the platform fell
apart and revealed two gllded models
of the ships in which Columbus first
sailed to American shores. At the same

There is an uneasy, excited feeling
among the Navajo Indians, especially
along the northern border of the reser-

dered, and, in the opinion of Agent
Plummer, unless the intention of the
Government to exert its authority was
made known, the valley would become
uninhabitable to white settlers. He

President Cleveland and members OF
the Cabinet and their ladies arrived at
the same depot an hour later, and the
same body OF troops that had escorted
the duke met and escorted the Presi-
dents party to the Lexington. Formal
reception OF President Cleveland to the
State, the city, and the Worlds Fair
was extended before the arrival at the
depot by Governor Altgeld, Mayor Har-
rison and Director General Davis, who
met the Presidential train at the State
line and accompanied them to the city,
To Jackson Park.
Monday morning bright and early the
movement toward Jackson Park began.
Carriages were ordered for the ducal
party at the Auditorium at 3 o'clock.
AS early as $3.50, accompanied by the
citizens committee representing the
State Department and proper military
escort, the ducal party moved south on
Michigan boulevard. At the Lexington
the ducal party joined the Presidential
party, and the procession, composed Of
regiments of troops, the Chicago Hus-
sars, distinguished guests In carriages,
members of the national commission
and the local board, and host of citi-
zens and visitors, moved toward jackson
Park.
The formal opening exercises took
place on platform erected in front Of
the Administration Building, where
nearly 100, 900 people could witness the
proceedings, even II they couldn't hear
the speeches. The place of holding
these exercises was determined upon
after long contention between two fac
tons of the local directors. one Of
which desired to have the ceremonies
held in the small hall in the presence
of about 1000 invited guests.
The Board of Control suddenly
concluded, however, that it had some
thing to say concerning the opening
programme, and President Palmer, Di-
rector General Davis and Secretary
Dickinson, by a few strokes Of the pen,
upset the plans Of the Exposition
Ceremonies Committee. At the east
front of the Administration Building
and in the shadow Of its gllded dome, q
great platform was accordingly erected.
The large or main platform had seating
capacity for nearly 1900 persons.
In front OF them was a
smaller platform for President Cleve-
land, the Duke of Veragua and suite,
the Presidents Cabinet, foreign COM
missioners and other guests of honor,
numbering about sixty in all. To the
right and left of the Presidents stand
were seats for about $50 members OF
the press. and back Of all was the Or
chestra. Among the distinguished
guests were members of the Diplomatic
Corps, Judges of the Supreme Court,
members of Congress, Governors Of
States, National Commissioners, Worlds
Fair Directors, members of the Board
of Lady Managers, members of the ILL
nols Legislature, Chicago City Council,
members Of the Board OF Education,
Park Commissioners and select list Of
dlgnitarles, social, collegiate and Off
cial.

and all colors were unfurled within

The largest was a great "0ld Glory,
which fell into graceful folds from the

Building was gorgeous in red gonfalons,
while the Agricultural building was
dressed in enslgns of orange and white.

Following the ceremonies in the ad-

land was given luncheon.
President Cleveland, escorted by
President Palmer, Of the National Com
mission, proceeded to the restaurant on
the third floor of the building. Here
they found q circular table, forty
feet in diameter, awaiting their ar
rival. President Cleveland occupied the
seat Of honor, President Palmer faced
him across the table, while Mrs. Palmer,
President of the Woman's Board, and
President Higinbotham, of the local
