only eight trains arrived at the Rio

arrived at the Rio Grande Western de-

delegations from Ohio. West Virginia,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Wisconsin,
New Hampshire, Canada, Vermont !
Michigan and Nebraska and the delega- !
tons from Kentucky, Tennessee and
New York were scheduled TO arrive by
midnight. In addition to these a party
of nearly 400 from Maine and Ccnnecti-

depot via the Union Pacific and Ogden. (

Will remain over Sunday. The fol-
lowing delegations are scheduled TO
leave here about y o'clock tonight,
but it is very doubtful than they will
all get away then: Ohio, New England,

The Illinois, New Jersey, New York,
Michigan and Massachusetts delega-
tons are scheduled TO leave by noon
Monday ana the Pennsylvania delega-
ton on Monday afternoon. However,
owing 10 the irregularity with which
the delegations are arriving here and
the great crush of travel turned over

Pacific, il is very probable thar most of
the delegations here now will have to
remain several hours longer than they
expect TO.
