THE COLISEUM.


tcrncss Of the disputes, and tho
personalities Of the men who have
taken part in them, have been
SO thoroughly exploited during the past
week that public attention and interest
have been aroused i'm the Chicago conven-
ton to degree rarely, II ever, equaled.
All Of these things, lending a peculiar In
terett to this convention, could not fail to
bring to the vast convention hall the
greatest gathering Of the public that has
ever assembled under like circumstances
In this, or perhaps any other, city In the
country
In Front Of the Hall.
In front of the convention hall the
army Of subordinate officials contributed
largely TO the disorder. They formed a
long line, four abreast, to gain admission
at single entrance, whore several ex-
cited men were distributing the badges
and embems of official authority. Mean
while the doors were barred to the public
and the stalwart policemen on guard said
no one would be admitted until the last
officer was at his post within. At best the
four big entrances could not receive more
than $50 persons minute or l5,0n an
hour
The capacity of the hall Is just l5,OOO, so
that IL would take full hour with perfect
discipline to pass the great crowd through
the doors. The belated stationing OF the
officers promised to make it impossible Ia
get the people inside the hall by the time
the convention met. At IL o'clock the
| line of officials stretched four abreast for
100 feet and sdvsnced at snails pace. The
| women. holding admission tickets were
particularly indignant ut not getting In.
They stood in the streets, hoisting urnbrel
| las to keep of the shower of cinders which
| filtered from the elevated road every time
u train thundered overhead. AT li:W the
doors were thrown open and the crowds
began tn enter.
Arrival Of Delegations.
