CHICAGO. oct. 1s.-one brief gleam
Of sunshine, and only one, has been
thrown upon the ceremonies Of the
peace jubilee. 1t was fieeting short-
lived burst Of third-class sunshine, but
It fell upon the Presidents reviewing
stand just as the head Of the great
Jubilee parade was approaching and the
dense crowds which lined the streets
ACCEPTED 1t as an augury of better things
ana cbeered Justify, but before they
were half through with their shouts the
little Ghudder Of light was gone and the
cold, dark, dismal weather that from
the first has dampened. hguratively and
literally, the Jubilee festivities was on
again in full force
Chicago has seen many parades
greater than that of to-day, but she
never has seen one that pleased It's peo-
pie better nor has there ever been a
parade in this city which has been Wit
hessed by so many people. The crowds
in the streets were larger than those
which witnessed the great parade at
the time Of dedication Of the WOrld's
Fair building, almost exactly six years
ago.
There were more stands and larger
stands erected for sightseers than have
ever been seen here before. All were
filled the most, and the number Of peo-
| pie that hlled the streets were such as
.has never been seen in this city be-
fore. Notwithstanding the most elab-
orate arrangements OF the police depart
ment the banlshing of every street car
and vehicle of every description from
the downtown streets in order that the
crowd might have an unobstructed way.
there were times to-day when the crowd
was too great for the police to handle
and at many places the crush at times
was dangerous. This wSs not the fanlt
OF the police department or anybody.
1t was simply that the thronB was
greater than anybody expected and SIM
ply the geometrical propositions that a
larger body cannot be crowded into a
smaller space. Aiter tie pafsda 3hE jan
in jackson boulevard in front of the
Union League Club house was frlghtful.
Strong detachments Of policemen, sail
ors and marines, while attempting to
arrest the massiAg Of the crowd were
pushed back, huddlet together and
finally broken up and scattered by the
sheer weight OF the throng. Long after
the parade was over the boulevard was
a mass of surglng. struggling humanity.
which would not move and which could
not be moved until 1t pleased.
Enthusiastic Greetings Extended.
The greetings extended to President
Mckinley were enthusiastic to the ex-
trsme, as were the plaudIts showered
upon General Miles and General shafter
as they passed through the streets. The
President in his carriage was surround
ed by members Of the Chicago Hussars
| formed in square and detachments Of
the Grand Army and of confe1erate
veterans acting as an escort. He lead
the parade from the starting point at
Congress street and Michigan avenue
to the Union League Club house, where
In company with all other distinguished
guests he alIghted and reviewed the
parade. Throughout the entire march
past the stand, which lasted a triie over
three hours, the President remained
standing, nor did he take seat until
after the platoon of police, which form-
ed the protecting line for the rear Of
the parade. had passed down the boule-
ward.

League Club somewhat in advance Of
the presidential party. escorted by Cap

dred people waiting in the club rooms
