CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-President and Mrs Sanford B. Dole of Hawaii arrived in Chicago at S:05 o'clock this morn ing. Notwithstanding the heavy storm which delayed suburban trains in the vicinity of Chicago half an hour the first section of the Chicago and North western Railroad train No. 2, known as the overland limited from San Fran cisco, pulled into the depot in Chicago within twenty minutes of the schedule time.
 A distinguished party greeted the President of the little island republic on his arrival. The Federal Govern ment was represented by Judge Cross cup, General John C. Black, United States District Attorney; Thomas E. McMillin, clerk of the United States District Court, and Hen. Thomas w. Cridler of the State Department at Washington. Chicago was represented by Mayor Harrison and the army and navy by Major Heistand and Lieu nant-Commander Phelps respective ly, who were resplendent in full-dress uniform and several pounds of gold lace. In addition to these gentlemen the President was welcomed by Gen eral Brooke and his staff, consisting of Captain Richards and Lieutenants Dean and McKenna: Hon. F. A. Hatch, Minister to the United States from Ha- waii; William Penn Nixon, Dr. Henry c. Lyman and the Chicago Consul, Dr. F. w. Job.
 President Dole's party consisted of himself, Mrs. Dole, Secretary Iaukea and Dr. Day, his physician. The fol- lowing ladies were also present: Mrs. Grosscup, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Brooke. On arriving in Chicago the reception committee entered President Dole's private car and welcomed him to Chicago. The first to shake hands with him was Judge Grosscup, who said:
 President Dole, I am instructed by the President of the United States to welcome you here. I am pleased to in- troduce you to Secretary Cridler, rep resenting the President, and Mayor Harrison of Chicago"
 After the exchange of courtesies and welcome to Chicago on behalf of the city by Mayor Harrison, President Dole cordially responded to the greet ing, and seemed pleased with the hearty reception given to him. Mrs Dole, who won the hearts of every one present by her unaffected and pleasant manner, thanked the ladies of the com mittee for coming out so early in the day to welcome her, and seemed to ap- preciate very highly the reception she received in Chicago.
 The party at once proceeded in car riageS to the Auditorium Annex, where suite 1102 had been reserved for the guests. Their rooms are situated at the northeast corner of the hotel on the parlor floor, and are the same apartments occupied by President Mo Kinley two years ago, when he visited Chicago to address the Marquette Club The suite, which was decorated with La France roses and draped with a Hawaiian flag, consists of a drawing room and three bedrooms.
 On arriving at the hotel General Brooke extended an invitation to Presi- dent and Mrs. Dole to visit Fort Sheri- dan on Monday morning, where a parade of the garrison will be given in their honor. The invitation was ac- cepted, and the party will leave Chi cago tomorrow morning at o'clock by special train on the Chicago and Northwestern, returning to Chicago at noon.
 This morning President and Mrs. Dole attended the Church of the Mes siah. At l o'clock tomorrow a lunch con will be rendered the distinguished
 
 former residents of Hawaii and other friends. pr. Henry Lyman has charge of this affair, which promises to be a very pleasant reunion of old acquaint- anceI. At o'clock formal reception will be held at the Union League Club. to which invitations have been for warded to all the clubs in Chicago and which will give President Dole an op- portunity of meeting a representative body of Chicago citizens.
